The little girl walked, alone.
**Option A
Achoo. Achoo...
The girl with the honey-brown hair shook her head. Was this a "somebody or somebodies are gossiping about you" sneeze, or was it for real?
Ahh, well.
She looked at the helmet in her hand and sighed.
It's not like she wanted to look so much like a mother she couldn't even remember, damnit...
Ahh, well. Whining about it wasn't going to change anything, she knew that much.
Alright, she'd wear the damn thing, but she'd be damned if she wore the stupid thing off duty. Shades and hairdye would have to suffirce, then.
"...Lena! Lena, where are youu..."
Ooops. Here came Noin, who'd been her sort-of-big-sister for all the life she could remember, since the creche...
No time any more to stare at the stupid mask-helmet.
" - Lena Merquise! Hurry up now, it's only 30 minutes till -"
"Alright, I'm coming!"
Far, far away, a young man was looking at his father. Adopted father, that is.
"...Yes, Milliard?"
"Nothing, father."
Dorlian sighed. The boy was so moody sometimes...
**Option B
Achoo. Achoo...
The girl with the honey-brown hair shook her head. Was this a "somebody or somebodies are gossiping about you" sneeze, or was it for real?
Ahh, well.
She morosely looked at the toolkit in her hand.
...She had to find some way to convince the old man to let her go "downside".
And to do that, she had to plan...
Damn. Damn. As if she'd be any more significiantly in danger with "Uncle Howard" then up in this rickety excuse for a space carrier!
She sighed, then.
"...Yo, Lena! Penny for your thoughts?"
"...No. What's a penny, anyway? Some kind of old-fashioned currency?"
Her sort-of foster-brother shrugged.
"No idea. You look glum, Lenalena. Whatsup?"
Well, yes, she was. The last time she'd been this glum was when she figured out that the Maxwell Church massacre hadn't been even a planned atrocity, just a "local level cluster-fuck" (as Uncle Howard would have said). And the majority of the real perps - the idiots who'd thought attacking a church with tons of kids still in it would be a good idea, that is - had even actually been punished, before they ended up dead anyway.
Damn.
"Leenaaa Maaaxwell, now talk to me. Just what are you thinking of, eh? C'mon, you can tell your old partner in crime..."
"...Welllll...."
She looked at Duo's braid flopping about, and sighed again.
"...Why'd you have to have nicer hair then me, anyway?"
"...Leeenaaaa...."
Far, far away, a young man looked up at the stars.
Alone.
**Option C
Achoo. Achoo...
The girl with the honey-brown hair shook her head. Was this a "somebody or somebodies are gossiping about you" sneeze, or was it for real?
Ahh, well.
"...Relena. Relena, Dorothy is here."
And there was her elder brother. Who looked faintly worried, for some reason.
...Correction. Her foster elder brother. Adopted elder brother? No, that felt wrong, when it was she who was the one who was actually adopted, whatever it said on the official records...
"Is there something wrong, Rele?"
"...No."
She sighed, then. She wished she hadn't been told, sometimes. About her real parents - and other things...
"Then come, Relena Khushrenada..."
It just made things so...complicated.
"...I'm coming, Treize...Wait!"
Far, far away, a young man looked at the stars.
It was peaceful here, inside his Mobile Suit...
**Option D
Achoo. Achoo...
The girl with the honey-brown hair shook her head. Was this a "somebody or somebodies are gossiping about you" sneeze, or was it for real?
Ahh, well.
"...Relena!"
And here came her brother.
"Mill. What's up?"
"You shouldn't be standing out here without even a coat, you'll catch cold!"
Pargun sighed, then.
They looked so much like their parents, it hurt to look at them sometimes.
**Option E
Achoo. Achoo...
The girl with the honey-brown hair shook her head. Was this a "somebody or somebodies are gossiping about you" sneeze, or was it for real?
Ahh, well.
It couldn't be helped either way.
