Fanfic: CHAPTER FOUR – She (Elvis Costello)  
 
Its 5 am and the radio turns-on, Lisa tries do shut it down but Rick just doesn’t let her, by pulling her over him again. 
 
– Five more minutes  
 
– Both has to get ready, so it’s better if we start doing it 
 
– What’s the rush Commander – says while starts stroking her hair very gently  
 
– That in case you haven’t notice Lieutenant I only have one shower – answers with her will weaker every second she expends in his arms  
 
– Which can be shared  
 
Her hearts leaps inside her chest, one part of her wants to run away – “but here, you’re in your own house” – while the other is just enjoying the moment – “why can be wake up like this until we are old”. 
 
– Fine, you have half an hour more – tries to stand up but he avoids it again  
 
– Where are you going  
 
– I just want to re-set the alarm, I don’t want to fall sleep and be late  
 
– Who said we are going to sleep  
 
She cannot turn the radio off, but that’s ok… now they have music to accompany them  
 
– No… why on earth you want to stay in bed for – says while gets on top of him  
 
– Imagine  
 
He pulls her to kiss her, that’s what he wanted… sleep with her, make love to her in every available moment. With Minmei it was so different, usually she only has time for a quick and casual sex, but even when they have the opportunity to be just holding each other he never felt comfortable with that, always blaming that they weren’t accustom, but now being like this with Lisa he realizes that his teenage illusion is not the right person form him.  
 
They just expend the time kissing each other, it is more than enough for them, both know (or at least wish) that this first night will become in many to come.  
 
– Rick… - asks a glomming Lisa with her head over his wide chest  
 
– Yes – answers Rick, fully satisfied with his life  
 
– I believe it’s time to… 
 
– 5 more minutes  
 
– that’s what you said 5 minutes ago 
 
– and I’ll say it again in five minutes more  
 
– come’n, really we have to start getting ready – she sits staring at him pretending to give him a hard time with her look  
 
– I believe you’re right his time  
 
– Only this time? 
 
– Well you’re always right, but I can go through life making you feel like you’re the best, you’re the most arrogant person on the world 
 
– Me the most arrogant, where does that leave you 
 
– In second place, well kid – says Rick, in a way the manner his celluloid body use to called Ilsa like him, he gets up the bed – it’s time  
 
He gives his hand to her to help her to get up, she takes it and he pulls her gently towards him, which she just let herself go to end up hugging him and kissing him tenderly in the lips.  
 
– Woman, you’re the one that wants to get up, don’t make me to throw you again to bed 
 
She just smiles while takes his hand to go to the shower, the radio is playing a song but they cannot listen it, they are too busy playing in the shower under the water, washing each other as a real coupe.  
 
“Maybe this is what I really want, to be with someone like Lisa, someone with the time to do this, with time to be together, not someone as Minmei” 
 
“Come on Rick, say this time you are going to stay… this is nice, more than nice, but I would really like to know how long it will last, I don’t have to torture me with this, but I have to be prepared for the end, soon or later this is going to be finished” 
 
“If only Lisa would give a sign, but she left me sleep with her in her bed, she is always trying to meet in my house so she can run away in the morning, but this time, maybe this is sign I’ve been asking for…” 
 
– There… as neat as always 
 
– And you… well this is the best I can do  
 
– I’m going to get you  
 
– No if I can avoid it  
 
They both get out of the shower and starts getting ready, she takes a little bit longer, which gives Rick the opportunity to prepare coffee, while listen a song in the radio… a song that somehow makes him think about how the two women in his life represents what the man singing is describing. 
 
She  
May be the face I can't forget  
The trace of pleasure or regret  
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay  
 
She  
May be the song that summer sings  
May be the chill that autumn brings  
May be a hundred different things  
Within the measure of a day 
 
She  
May be the beauty or the beast  
May be the famine or the feast  
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell  
She may be the mirror of my dreams  
The smile reflected in a stream  
She may not be what she may seem  
Inside her shell  
 
“Minmei is the song of summer and the face I cannot forget, but Lisa… Lisa definitely represent the chill bring by autumn, outside the base is the beauty but behind her command center is a beast”.  
 
– Coffee smells delicious  
 
“With both, I’ve been hungry and I’ve got feast, they are both my heaven and my hell” 
 
– earth calling Hunter, answer Hunter 
 
– I’m sorry, what did you say? 
 
– Nothing important – “you’re afraid of asking, isn’t Lisa”, she approaches two coffee mugs – do you fancy cookies or something else  
 
– No, I’m ok, I just need a cup of coffee and I’m set  
 
“He is weir, asking him what’s wrong” – Lisa has a thousand question in her head all destine to the feelings of the man drinking coffee silently next to her – “come’n just ask” – but again her fear is so big, that she rather to enjoy what they have instead ruining it with dull questions.  
 
– Well Hayes I believe is time to go 
 
– Yeah sure – she takes his mug and put both in the sink; she’ll wash them later on, maybe crying because he returns to indecision land.  
 
– Would you like to share car  
 
– Sorry…  
 
– For the first time in a long time our shifts coincide, so… what do you say  
 
– That’s a great idea  
 
Lisa shuts the radio off, so Rick cannot hear the name of the song or the singer – “I’ll ask Max, that genius is a musical encyclopedia”. 
 
They arrive to the base, both worrying about each other, without know that ironically they have the same desire… please notice it, I love you” 
 
 
Rick 
 
– Max… - asks a worrying Rick while his squadron is getting ready for one more patrol  
 
– What boss 
 
– I need to ask you something  
 
– Official or personal  
 
– Personal… do you a song that goes more or least like this – he whistle it  
 
– Is She by Elvis Costello 
 
– For god sake Max, do you have any other activity beside listening music while growing up  
 
– My mother was a cellist but she adored any kind of music, so I grew up listening to it 24 x 7, but far from annoying me I felt in love with it.  
 
– Do you and Miriya have a special song 
 
– Yeah… Fly Me to the Moon by Frank Sinatra 
 
– Why didn’t you dance it at your wedding  
 
– They wanted to emphasis the importance of your “mockingbird” – says Max in a tone to make Rick understands how does he feels about Minmei – in the survival of human race, sincerely I was so happy that it didn’t mine at all 
 
– One day you have to let me hear it  
 
– When we return from patrol I’ll give you a CD, probably you can find a song for you and Lisa  
 
– Probably  
 
They both get on their VT and get ready to take off, Skull leader, usually alert, this time is kind of mix-up but when he turns his screen on the face he longs for everyday appears, that face that inspires him in his long and difficult patrols to keep the pace.  
 
– Skull leader, your take-off platform will be 17 A 
 
– Thanks bridge – answers while smiles at her, thinking how beautiful Lisa is even with the military masquerade she uses when is in front her Commander center 
 
– Safe patrol Skull squadron, we hope to hear from you soon – Lisa thinks how handsome but indecisive is Rik, and how she is willing to wait a 100 years, if need it, to hear him say I love to her.  
 
– Always Commander, well team you heard 
 
Patrol goes smoothly even boring, Rick is thinking about last night and much he enjoys it, oddly not making love to her (well every time was awesome) but sleeping with her, hugging her like the first night they expended together, every time they sleep together was even better. His thoughts were interrupted by Max 
 
– Rick do you consider convenient to move to a new quadrant 
 
– Not convenient, necessary, this quadrant is dead 
 
– Before going into open channel, check the information I’m sending you  
 
– What is it Max 
 
– Something you requested, you know is always good to travel with IPod at hand 
 
– You and your music Max 
 
– I assure you that you won’t say anything once you listen what I’m sending you 
 
Rick starts playing what Max just sent him… 
 
She  
May be the face I can't forget  
The trace of pleasure or regret  
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay  
 
– Is the song  
 
– Yeah boss 
 
– I hope your children inherit your musical taste it would be a real shame to loose all your knowledge  
 
– Dana has a pretty good musical ear  
 
– Well, time to open the communication, here Skull leader requesting permission to change the assigned patrol quadrant  
 
– Any particular reason Lieutenant – Lisa’s professional voice was answering  
 
– The assigned one is really bored Commander  
 
– That’s not a good reason 
 
– Well let’s say that we don’t want to waste time and fuel flying over a desert in which it is impossible for giants to hide.  
 
– What’s the quadrant you would like to patrol in, Lieutenant  
 
– One out of our charts Commander, we are already at the border of our navigation charts, so it would be rather interest  
 
– Alright Skull leader, with one condition, bring update maps of the zone  
 
– Roger and out  
 
– Roger and out – answers Lisa with a smile dedicated especially for Rick, or at least he wants to believe it. 
 
Rick decides to play the song over and over again, remaining himself to download it to an USB as soon as he lands in base – “Dr. Lang would send us to martial court if he know what kind of use you are giving to intercoms.”  
 
She  
Who always seems so happy in a crowd  
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud  
No one's allowed to see them when they cry 
 
“Minmei is always happy in the spotlight surrounded by a crowd… but Lisa’s eyes are so private and proud only open for those she thinks are worthy of, I’ve just seen her cried twice in my life”.  
 
She  
May be the love that cannot hope to last  
May come to me from shadows of the past  
That I'll remember till the day I die  
 
“Minmei’s my teenage illusion, the one I know has no future, me and her only exist in the past, before she became Miss Macross… and I’m sure I’ll remember both until I die.” 
 
She  
May be the reason I survive  
The why and wherefore I'm alive  
The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years  
 
“Both are the reason I survive any fight, they are in my mind while I fly and get into battle, Minmei my inspiring muse and Lisa the compass that guides me.” 
 
Me  
I'll take her laughter and her tears  
And make them all my souvenirs  
For where she goes I've got to be  
The meaning of my life is  
 
She 
She, oh she 
 
“I keep their tears and laughter, their kisses and caresses in my heart as tattoos in my soul, they mean life for me” 
 
And even he plays the song over and over Rick cannot not figure it out his feelings for both women, the most important in his life… the sexy start wanted by all men, or kept together and responsible Commander Hayes… sweet and fragile Minmei, or adorable and protective Lisa.
