Mission 16

Previously:
	The groups of Galen and Tora got together and had a flawless night. Galen 
suggested that they all go to school before Tora and his friends show up. After the party 
Jennifer and Sakura have a talk. Sakura is allowed to go out with Galen and he is okay 
with it. The next morning they all get to school late and start their first day of teachers in 
their face and tones of work.

Galen: (In my next class, which was gym I met up with Mark and Taj.) We have to 
exercise everyday in here.

Mark: With all the fighting you do, you shouldn't be talking.

Taj: He only moves when he has to. Any other time, he's just a lazy good for nothing.

Galen: I'm not half as lazy as I was before.

Taj: That reminds me, Mark we need to meet up at Galen's house with the rest of your 
team. There's something we have to talk about.

Galen: Why at my house? What do we need to talk about?

Taj: You'll see when we get here.

Teacher: Hey you three keep running these laps and stop being so damn lazy.

Mark: I'm getting tired of him already. I want to get in my MCU and smash his 
residence.

Galen: How'd you come across that MCU anyway? It's way cool.

Taj: There's no time to talk, just keep running so we can go chill in the weight room. 
(They continued on until it was time to stop. Then while most students went to play 
basketball, others went into the weight room, which included Galen, Taj, and Mark. 
Galen gave Mark a story he had been writing for a while. Taj was lifting weights 
impressing the girls around him and angering the guys who couldn't figure out how 
somebody so small could lift double his weight. Mark and I just shook our heads at the 
show off. I out staged him by lifting more than he did. He stormed off to go cream some 
guys in basketball.)

Mark: Why don't you play basketball Galen?

Galen: Well the idea of taking a ball and seeing who could get it in their hoop sounds like 
a pretty dumb ass game to me. Sounds like something made in primitive times. My idea 
of a game is the ones on a T.V. screen.

Mark: I get what you mean. (He continued to read the story while Galen laid on the sit up 
board till it was time to go.) The only thing that distracted his attention was the girls that 
were doing various exercises. Jumping jacks, Bend and reaches; you know what I mean.)

[After Second Period]

(I ran to the lunch line and purchased two lunches. I found a seat where Jennifer, Hiru, 
and Shalonda were sitting. Hiru was sitting next to Jennifer, so I sat next Shalonda.)

Shalonda: Hi Galen.

Galen: (Nervously) Hi. (What's wrong with me? I don't have trouble talking to other 
girls, it's like I used to be nervous talking to her before. Oh well. I started eating my food. 
Someone decided that it was a funny idea to put baby oil on the floor and people fell on 
it.)

Jennifer: Dumb Asses. Can't they find other ways to entertain their feeble minds? Why 
prey on others who're just trying to live their life.

Hiru: You so smart. I bet you can help me on that physics test we got coming up.

Galen: Your teacher is making you take a test. Bu this is only your first day, how could 
he or she do that.

Jennifer: Because he's an asshole. He keeps sending people out over stupid shit. Like this 
one guy was complaining about a mistake the teacher made on his paper and he sent him 
to his administrator. He said he was sick and tired of all the talking. He makes such a 
funny looking face when he's mad too; the whole class laughs at him, which makes him 
even madder. He threatened to send us all to our administrator, and that we will all fail 
the class.

Galen: Man, that's harsh. He'd better be glad I'm not in his class, or I'd give him a piece 
of my mind.

Hiru: You'd better be careful. You've already been written up once today. Anymore and 
you'll be suspended.

Galen: Do you think I'm scared off a few days off? Now I remember why I hated this 
bull. The teacher should just sick to their jobs and mind their own business. Why can't 
they leave the students alone and allow them to fail on their own?

Shalonda: Some teachers actually care about the student's education. But the students 
they want to help ridicule them. It's kind of sad when you think about it. (She continued 
to eat her pizza. Then took a sip of her milk.)

(Just finished eating both lunches.) Galen: What's you next class Jennifer?

Jennifer: I got Food and Nutrition 1.

Galen: Me too. And so does Sakura.

Jennifer: (Sarcastically) Oh great. Just what I need to two whole quarters is two see you 
two being all up on each other everyday. Can my life get any worse?

Hiru: Hey! I'm in that class too. Isn't this great Jennifer? You and I get the chance to get 
to know each other better.

Jennifer: And then it does get worse. (She placed her head in her arms and sighed 
heavily.)

Administrator: Alright! Let's go. Let's go. (All the students filed out of the multipurpose 
room.)

Shalonda: When they say that. It sounds like their calling us out to the battlefield.

Jennifer: Your right, I almost had the sudden urge to call up my MCU and wait for battle.

(Hiru followed to his locker, as he was putting away my gym clothes that he used the last 
of his money to pay for.)

Galen: What do you want Hiru? Come to try to kill me again.

Hiru: I said I was sorry about that incident. When I saw Jennifer crying I lost my mind.

Galen: So she was your love you were babbling about.

Hiru: Actually, I came here to ask you things pertaining to her.

Galen: If you think that I'm going to hook you up with my ex girlfriend, you got another 
thing coming.

Hiru: No, I just need to know a few things about her. Her interest, her dislikes.

Galen: I'll tell you know. She hates Eminem. I mentioned that I liked his songs and she 
flipped out on me. Learn from my mistake. She loves anime especially those old one 
from the year 2000; those were her favorite. She could quote characters for hours. She 
likes to draw, write, and fight in her Mech of course. She's like a female version of me, 
except I like Eminem's songs.

Hiru: Thanks for your help; because I was going to ask her if she'd like to listen to this 
Eminem CD with me.

Galen: She would have ended your life right then and there. (Hiru walked off to find 
where our classroom was. Soon Galen also was on the same journey to the unknown 
location. While walking Galen was Mikel and Terra walking into a classroom with 
Spanish 2 on the door.)

Mikel: Hey you're that guy from the other day. Galen right?

Galen: Yea that's me. It seems that all you guys are here.

Terra: You fight well when outnumbered. But luckily we came and saved you, or you'd 
would be here.

Galen: I did remember to thank you didn't I.

Terra: I think so. Well we have to go and so do you. The bell's going to ring soon.

Galen: That's my problem; I have no idea where my class is. (Galen ran around the 
school until an administrator stopped him. Then he finally found his classroom. The 
teacher had already paired up students. Sakura was the only one left and she gladly 
accepted the teacher's request that they paired up.)

Galen: How'd you keep yourself from being paired up with someone else?

Sakura: duh, I hid in the back until you came. There's no way I'd be with any of these 
losers. You're the only "partner" I need.

Galen: But Sakura, I suck at cooking. It's on my "can't do" skills list along with math 
and talking to girls.

Sakura: You can't be all that bad.

[Half an hour later]

Sakura: How the hell can you burn a bagel pizza?

Galen: I told you, I can't cook. Anything I try to make burns. I can probably burn salad.

Sakura: But you don't cook salad.

Galen: Exactly. You're going to regret being paired up with me.

Jennifer: The same goes for Hiru. I burned our assignment as well.

Galen: I've been getting on teachers nerves all day. I can see myself getting an "E" in 
every class; even though I'm good at computers that teacher has it in for me. (I slump 
into my seat and sulk. Sakura came to me and hugged me.)

Sakura: It'll be alright. I have confidence in you. If you need any help with anything, just 
ask me.

Galen: Your wonderful Sakura, one couldn't ask for anyone better. (I slipped her a short 
kiss when the teacher's back was turned. Shortly she handed me my grade for the 
assignment.)

Jennifer: Ain't this a bitch. My first day here and I receive an "F."

(One of the girls beside Jennifer started laughing. Her name was Liana.)

Jennifer: What are you laughing at!

Liana: You better watch who your yelling at bitch!

Jennifer: Bitch! Oh that's it. I'm about to kill you. No one calls me a bitch especially 
someone who's a bitch herself. (Galen ran over to Jennifer and took her away from Liana 
before she completely beat the shit out of her.)

Galen: Hey Jen, calm down. It's not that serious. Fighting isn't the answer. I'm not 
saying that she's right, but be the better person.

Jennifer: Fine! But you know how I hate being made fun of. Besides she's a weak human 
who needs to make fun of others to make themselves feel better. I'm above that. (She 
returned to her workstation, Liana was cowering in a corner, Jennifer started smiling 
evilly.)

[After Third period]

(Galen, Brandon, Elijah, Mark, Mikel, and Shalonda had the next class together. It was 
like ROTC, but it was more advanced. They were to learn how to fight in MCU's if they 
are planning on joining the army. Of course they were going to ace this class.)

Teacher: Today class, we will learn the basic components of an MCU.

Student: Didn't we go over this last week Mr. Santos?

Santos: Yes we did, but our new students need to learn this.

Brandon: We already know this stuff.

Santos: How could you know this? Let me see how much you know.

Galen: Well see the head section has cameras in the eyes hole that relay the outside area 
to the control room...

Elijah:...The control room is in the torso where the pilot sits and is surrounded by the 
controls which move the MCU...

Mark:...The controls move the arms and legs, which hold places that the weapons are put 
and also are used to fight. That's pretty much it.

Shalonda: Now don't you feel dumb?

Santos: Uhh...let's move on to lesson two shall we. Let's go to the next room. (He ushers 
us into a room full of large containers.)

Mikel: What's all of this.

Santos: This is our VR MCU Simulation. Here you'll train to become good fighters.

Brandon: This is going to be good.
