Chapter 10

"Yes, yes, yes. I know. You've been thinking about what we've been doing, and think that it is wrong. So if it makes you feel any better we can take the robot apart at the end, and put the pieces back to where they belong." said Mitsuhiro, saying what he thought Kaleb was about to say. It wasn't what he had to say though. He wanted to tell Mitsuhiro something else, something very different.
"You- you know how you were able to tell where that baseball was going to land three years ago, when your first moved into this room? How did you do that?" asked Kaleb nervously. Mitsuhiro gave a sigh. He didn't want to have to explain this, and thought that Kaleb would never ask, but he knew a time would eventually come. He couldn't keep hiding it forever, it felt like a blade in his head.
"I get these visions, about people being hurt, or falling in love, or certain things happening in certain places. Sometimes they're in the near future, sometimes they aren't. It's hard to tell, but when I saw a vision of a baseball flying in through the window and landing on your bed you got hurt by it, so I was sure that you would still be in the room, and I just guessed that it was going to be the same time, since my watch had the same date and time on it. So when the vision broke I just used what I saw to tell you to move. I, I saw something- last night. It was real bad. It was when I was in the piloting class, when we were breaking open the simulation machine. I saw a vision of someone breaking in, and killing a whole bunch of the students, and behind them I saw that guy. The one from the magazine. The head of I.P.M. He looks like you, you know? And I got scared. Really really scared. I don't know what I'm going to do. Tell me that when you graduate you'll go to the same company as me? Promise me that you will. I felt something last night that I never felt before, I felt really alone. I don't think I've ever felt so alone and miserable before. I never met anyone I could talk to, like you. I guess I just went out of my way to annoy everyone. I- I can't even remember who I am anymore." spoke Mitsuhiro, sitting on his bed, a very serious, sad look on his face. It was rare for Mitsuhiro to talk like this.

"I promise I won't leave you alone. There's some kind of a connection, between us seeing the battle-ship of I.P.M.'s, and the fact that I.P.M. came to our school, and that vision you saw. I see visions too, or I used to. I think they were of my past, because I was allot younger in them. I got scared, when I first moved in. It seemed the visions started when I was in your science class, five or six years ago. I didn't know what to do, because I was always running in them. Running from someone. When I finally got away I found that I was alone for a long time, I got caught once, but managed to escape. They got more intense though, the day you moved in here, I had a memory of me getting caught, these creepy scientists wanted to do something to me, but you set the place on fire somehow, and saved me, but it seemed impossible. There was no way either of us could have possibly survived, so I guess that must have not been a real memory, I'm scared. I want to go home to my parents. I don't want to graduate! I'll miss this institute, and your crazy schemes!" that's when the door opened. Mitsuhiro's old roommate stepped in, glanced at the two boys who both looked like they were about to cry and gave a nervous chuckle and stepped backwards.

"Ehh, bad time? I'll catch you later guys. I just wanted to let you know that the robot is done, you can come check it out later tonight, she's already started it up." the female engineer had turned the thing on, and it worked like a charm. Everything was ready. Except the two boys. They both had allot of discovering to do about their past and future. They learned allot more about each other than they had in the past three years, and that night they went and visited the machine. It was running smoothly, and sorting all the papers out perfectly. Then it would transfer the information into it's artificial intelligence. It was hooked up to their phone, and automatically dialed the numbers in a split second. Then it would leave their messages. Four different or two different, according to whether they had gotten the sheets or not. The next days passed smoothly for the school. Everyone was getting ready for the graduation ceremony, and then it happened, and was wonderful. That night the boys returned the supplies from the robot, and then the school had officially shut-down. They had one week to figure out how to destroy I.P.M.'s space craft, and also at the same time get all the letters of acceptance and non-acceptance and choose a company. They only had one week to do all of this, because then the school would shut down buildings D and C for the summer. Over summers Kaleb would go home to his rich adoption parents, and have a luxurious time, while Mitsuhiro often spent the time on the streets, looking for a summer job, so he would have enough to rent an apartment. He didn't once stay over at any of those crazy girls from the fan club's houses. He wanted to show that he was independent, and could do it all on his own.

Meanwhile girls from all over went to the companies, near and far, doing the best job that they could hoping to get to spend an entire day with their biggest idols, heroes, and crushes, the two boys. Many of them knew everything about the two, but there was one pair of the girls that was obsessed with the two boys for two or three years! Here the best pilots were worshipped like famous actors, or musicians, partially because of their importance to the countries, and their skills, but also for their wisdom and looks. Allot of things were based on looks, but this was one of them. It turned out that allot of the girls liked one of the two in particular, because one was their type, they were so different that every girl had to like something about one of them. Then of course there were some that just liked both equally. This wasn't the case with the two girls who were completely obsessed with them. These two girls were determined to win, they put on such a show for the company, that they would have won an award for being best actors of the year, had they filmed it! They took a long time to prepare, and stayed up into the late hours of the night, anxiously preparing, and awaiting their ticket to meeting the two pilots.
