16, as she waited for the hospital staff, was lost in her thoughts when she suddenly heard the sound someone in heels behind her. Turning around to see who it was, 16 was a bit wary of this person, but also just had to take note of how pretty this woman was. I have to show that I'm not weak...but...at the same time...she's...rather beautiful, what with that black hair and those brown eyes... The person then spoke up. "Ah, so you are 16. It is nice to meet you, finally." As she said this, she smiled and extended a hand toward the other woman.
16, however, was still somewhat wary. I...should I? She...seems friendly at least... 16 then proceeded to extend her hand and then proceeded to shake the other woman's hand. After the handshake, the woman took off her beret and brushed a strand of hair that got in the way of her eyes. "I was told that you don't like soldiers very much, save for one...I...I hope that I can be the second..." 16 was a bit surprised by this. She wants to be my friend? And the person she is talking about must be Roxas...and...well...I should make myself clear... "Well...I...I can like you as long as we are civil towards one another."
The woman then nodded. "That's a valid request...Hmm, you must be from the north. You have the same hair color and eye color as he does. Maybe that's why he feels so attached to you...and...you're just as beautiful as they say too." She then chuckled a bit. 16 then gave her response. "Ah...well...if you think I'm from the North, then I might be...I can't recall anything myself..." The other woman simply nodded. "I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually." The woman then sighed. "You are all he talks about you know...it's a little heartbreaking to hear all the time..."
16 didn't know how to respond to this. "Oh...I see..." Wait...breaking her heart? Why would Roxas talking about me break her heart...oh...! I-Is this? 16 then decided to get a little bold and asked a question. "Um, are you Miss Tessa?" The woman nodded in confirmation of this. "Yes, I am. And you are the sole survivor of that incident. I came to tell you of your freedom, so you should think up yourself a name." A name...that's one of the things that 16 sort of struggled with, not really sure what would be good for her. That and she wanted to remember her actual name. "A...a name for me? W-Well...I have been trying to remember my old one...but I obviously can't recall it..." Tessa then sat down in a nearby chair. "That won't really do...that makes the paperwork that much harder." She then sighed. "You know what? I'm going to let him do it. That will teach him, since he always leaves me the paperwork..."
16 suddenly felt a little bad and tried to reconcile things somewhat. "I...I see...well...I could try to come up with something other than 16 if it would your job easier..." Tessa let out a small chuckle at this. "Nope, not my job anymore. I'll leave dear Roxas to do it. So...he's taking you outside, huh? Must be nice..." 16 couldn't help but feel a little jealousy in Tessa's tone of voice, but tried not to let that get to her. "Well, it is going to be nice to see the outside world again after being in here for so long..." Tessa then sighed again and pointed at the young woman. "And you are going to go out in that?" 16 sort of chuckled nervously. "Um....well, I was going to change into something else, but I realized that I don't really have any other clothes of my own...there...is the uniform they found me in, but that wouldn't be a good idea..."
Tessa responded rather quickly. "No, not after all the trouble I went through to have it destroyed." She then opened up her cell phone and made a quick call. "Could you please ask for my assistant? Thank you." She then hung up afterward. Soon, another young woman came in, decked out in a rather formal uniform, and 16 probably guessed that this was the assistant. Said Assistant then made her presence known. "Yes, Mistress? What do you need?" 16, however, didn't want to feel like she was just riding off of other people's coat tails. "Um...a-are you sure that there isn't something I could borrow from the hospital? I mean, I don't want to be more of a burden than I already have been..." Tessa made a response with an attempt to allay 16's worries.
"It's no problem. Today is a special day...unfortunately someone is being stubborn. It's tiring to argue. So I'll just let things be as long as he's happy." 16, though she still had some reservations, thought it would be best to accept this. "Oh...I see...a-all right..." The assistant then suddenly brought out some measuring tape. "Stay still, please, miss." 16 nodded, still wondering why the assistant had measuring tape on her at that time. Once she was finished, she looked over at Tessa again. "I will go ahead and lend something of mine to her, Mistress. She might be able to fit into something from my wardrobe."
Tessa thought this over some. "Hmm...giver her one of mine. She would be able to fit." The assistant respectfully shook her head. "On the contrary mistress, she might not. Her...bust is a little smaller and she's shorter." Tessa, fortunately, had a plan for this. "I have something in mind. Go get my white summer dress...the one I wore a few years ago." 16 was still a bit surprised at this and still wanted to know if there was anything she could do to repay her. "How...how can I repay you for this, Miss Tessa?" Tessa merely looked at 16 again and made it rather simple. "Why don't you try and figure out a name you like? Oh, and try not to catch a cold...your nanites aren't normal...when you start remembering things.... I'll ask you about them."
16 nodded in approval of this. "That...that is fair, Miss Tessa." Tessa then moved in for another handshake and said something to herself quietly. "We'll see if she remembers anything." Tessa then held out her hand and 16 responded by holding hers out and shaking hands with her once more. "Do take care." Tessa finally said to her. "You take care as well." 16 responded back and afterward, Tessa proceeded to go on her way. Soon, the assistant would be back with the dress and 16 would be ready. I...I wonder what it looks like...haa, I better keep it clean, for her sake...
(OOC: For those wondering, this is the type dress that Tessa has in mind.

Chapter Three: Artificial Sky
Thursday Night
After Reality
17:00pm
Suburban Hospital Area- Latona
Roxas changed out of his uniform; he put on his normal attire and slipped on a jacket. As he changed he watched the news which had just switched into commercial. The commercial that came on was very displeasing as it was talking about the merger of his parents’ hospitals and a big pharmaceutical corporation.
Roxas switched off the television and sat down looking at his cell phone for a while. As he stared at the miss call, and the message left to him " LISTEN ROXAS, YOU HAVE TO come Home for....uh...I’m...I’m sorry I didn't mean to yell like that or have that tone…when will you be home tonight...you do remember wha--" Roxas shut off the phone and sat with a serious look on his face for a while. Sighing her threw the phone into his locker and locked it with a slamming motion. ...Why Am I having second thoughts...it's just a quick trip for a friend...I'll make it home soon…
As Roxas walked out of the locker door, around the corner a woman in a uniform stood watching as he walked away to the other direction. "Are you sure mistress?†her assistant asked concerned. "Sometimes I forget....I’m supposed to be his lover and not his commanding officer. I'm terrible at playing the right role for the right situation" Tessa said sad as long as your happy...she thought. “It’s not like that Mistress...you are the best at what you do...Miss" the assistant said very caring.
"Thanks... but go ahead and cancel dinner plans..." Tessa said disappointingly before her hand was held by her assistant "Mistress don't give up trying to do the right thing for your family, you must understand this isn't just for yourself" Tessa sighs...that's what I was afraid of...it's starting to be…for me. She then gave a nod signaling that the plans may continue.
Roxas threw his arms up in a stretch, I'll just relax for now I guess...I don't get many chances to make friends so I will…I will…Roxas paused…"wow".
He felt butterflies in his stomach and as if someone took his breath away as he could hear his heart beat faster and faster. A blush ran across his face as he tried to adjust himself. Before him was a very beautiful girl sitting in a wheel chair on her lap was a teddy bear which she held gently. As she saw Roxas she looked away from the embarrassment. The older nurse started to push the chair toward Roxas " well she is ready, isn't she beautiful young master?" the nurse asked
"Ahem...yes…she's stunning…" Roxas said smiling with a blush on his face, 16 is sitting down playing with the bear to try to keep attention away from her. She enjoy seeing Roxas out of a uniform, he was that much more attractive.
"So 16...are you ready to go outside?"Roxas said placing his hands on the wheel chair’s handle bars. 16 nodded “but where are we going?†Roxas then gave a puzzled look in return. “that is a very good question†he replied before he looked over at the bear. “Do you…want to go see where the bear came from?†Roxas asked. 16 turned to look at him with glimmer in her eyes, hugging the bear more tightly than before. “Alright then†he said pushing her out the door.
16 was amazed at the sight from the hill down to where the shops were in the city. The skies lit amber for evening time; she saw the shops and the brick road. This was the old town that existed under the hills of the hospital. 16’s eyes peered left to right, up and down her head turning side to side from seeing all of the festivities that was being held in the middle of town. Roxas simply pushed her along at a good pace to their destination of a toy store that was located close to the center of the town. He didn’t need to ask 16 at all how she was feeling, for someone with no memory everything is likely a new experience. He could tell that 16 had some confusion about somethings though “If you have any questions feel free to ask†Roxas said pondering about what was going on in 16’s head.
“What’s that water shooting out of the thingy over there?â€
“That’s a fountainâ€
“And that round thing with the bell over thereâ€
“That’s a bell tower with a clockâ€
“Who, what, when, why, how?†the questions came in relentlessly maybe….I should of brought someone else along to explain things. “We’re here at the toy store†roxas said parking the chair in front of the store window which 16 immediately pointed at the first thing she saw, a robot toy girl that was place in front to greet customers. The girl robot was singing her teal twin tails ran down the side passed her back, she sang like if she was a real person. This excited 16 as she tried to imitate the lyrics. Roxas smiled at the robot girl and 16 waved as they entered the store. 16 started to push herself to look around. While Roxas went to the counter to see if the owner was around, the toy store was owned by a famous craftsman. A woman actually famous for her dolls, “ I wonder where she is…†Roxas said quietly looking behind the counter and then back at 16 who had went into the girl section of the store.
To be continued….

(ooc: Happy Thanksgiving Everyone, you get a post from me even though I’m out on a business trip. Enjoy <3 you fans, promise I be back soon-Zaku)
Following Kuuga’s movement jumping into the air and landed on a rock drawing on the Pegasus Bowgun clad in an altered green armor. Taking notice of Kuuga’s new appearance did not faltered from paying close attention to the fight. Seeing the particles formulating rolled out of the shot pathway felt its impact sending a backlash of warmth against her back. Moving out of the roll down onto one knee, reposition the DenGasher.
Much from what the young rider had taken into account from their battle alone or perhaps reading into much into it Kuuga refused to surrender easily. If Kuuga was going to be giving his all, than so would she breaking the promise for a merciful death. As taken a steady breath drawing on strength to make the next one count, Princess felt a disturbing of another rider’s presence.
An ally of his? Or was someone sent here to make sure I do not fail…
