(So, where are people sleeping? o3o)
(Somewhere that is not the Sex Station, probably the Karaoke Bar.)

(Finally finished this [sonic slicer]!)
"Are you sure the Egg will be okay like this?" Zeta asked as she stared at the Eevee Egg in a tub being soaked in water from the shower she was standing in.
"Yeah it should as long as the water isn't boiling hot and the Egg isn't submerged in it for a long time." Sakura replied as she started to lather shampoo in her hair in the shower she was standing in.
"If you say so." Zeta said a little unsure but having no reason to doubt her word. "Anyway thanks for taking a shower with me, it's nice to be able to take my mind off of...that...and talk to you."
"No problem, I needed this too." Sakura laughed nervously "That was just too much information."
"Agreed." Zeta nodded "I know she's PB's clone and all, but you would think that she would have taken it a little slower with teaching ADA about, well everything."
"You remember what I told you about her, she's a very horny gal. Whenever I talk to her she always uses every opportunity to talk about her body or use some sex metaphors." Sakura sighed.
"Yeah I noticed." Zeta nodded. "Did you know that she calls you lil Miss Hot Legs?"
"I did, at least it's better than when she called me Jailbait." Sakura laughed nervously.
"Wow I can't believe she called you that, even if it was true." Zeta remarked.
"Yeah she only has sex on the brain most of the time, though you have to keep in mind that even though she's 26 physically and mentally, in reality she's only about 6 or 7 years old." Sakura sighed.
"Wow she's no older than I am?" Zeta questioned. "That's pretty crazy since she's so sexually active."
"Well you have to keep in mind that she wasn't born as a human or created as a robot, she's was created from the DNA of the most perverted, sexual, and possibly creative man in all of RPM." Sakura replied.
"I guess you have a point." Zeta sighed "Still when you compare PB and Bunny PB the difference is staggering to say the least. I'm really surprised that PB has way more control than she does, I've heard so many rumors of his escapades it's not even funny. Then again he's not really himself due to PTSD and all, so maybe I don't know the real him."
"Well most of the rumors you hear about him are true, but at the same time he's just really friendly and egomatic to the point that it's contagious.
PBPB is similar but due to Hitomi's brash, man-hating design influencing her birth, people usually have the wrong idea of her." Sakura sighed "But deep down she's really nice and caring when you get to know her...though a man might have a harder time seeing that."
"Yeah I know what you mean, when she told me to stay with PB she seemed genuinely worried about him. But I don't know why she wanted me to stay with him, I mean I just did what any normal person would do, I think." Zeta admitted a little unsure of herself.
"You do have an influence on him." Sakura replied. "Whenever you say something you have his immediate attention and I've caught him watching your reactions to certain things."
"Maybe, but I don't know why he does that. I don't know why he's interested in me, I'm just me." Zeta pondered.
"Sometimes it's hard to understand how he thinks, he always surprises me. However I'm sure he sees something in you that makes him happy." Sakura smiled.
"I guess you have a point, I just want to do everything I can to help him through this mess. He reminds me so much of myself when we first met, except without the anti social behavior and being a [sonic slicer], and I feel that I can use what I know to be of some use to him. But I don't know if I can really help him, he's been through so much, much more that I ever suffered myself." Zeta said as the water kept pouring on her feeling a little weighed down by it.
"He's going to need time, you know that more than anyone." Sakura started "But as long as we help him however we can and stay with him he'll be fine."
"I guess you're right we'll just have to see what happens." Zeta stated "Speaking of which, ADA is still a bit distracted right now right?"
"Yes that's right." Sakura nodded.
"I think I'll use this opportunity to explain what I know about the Shuffle Alliance." Said Zeta.
"Really?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah it would probably be a good idea to let you in on this stuff." Zeta nodded.
"Okay so what the heck are these things about?" Sakura questioned.
"Well as Neko explained they are given to five very strong warriors so that they can prevent the world from falling into destruction. What she didn't tell you is that she created them herself and modeled them after the crests in G Gundam to signify perfect battle unison." Zeta began.
"She created them herself?" Sakura asked. "How do they work?"
"Those who hold the crests are able to sense the other's moves and know exactly what the other was thinking during the fight." Zeta began.
"So, it's basically perfect team work?" Sakura asked.
"Exactly." Zeta explained.
"They create a sort of psychic link then?" Sakura asked.
"It's more an emotional link than a psychic one and it goes deeper than that. Think of it like a perfectly choreographed ballet.
There comes a point in battle when, after fighting with someone side by side for so long, you can flawlessly anticipate their actions without them saying a word. It's more a symbol than it is a power boost or anything like that." Zeta responded.
"That does explain a few things, last night I felt my hand burning for some reason, it hurt a little bit." Sakura pondered.
"Yeah that must have been when I was frustrated last night and started crying because PB was hiding his pain, or at least tried to." Zeta sighed.
"Yeah he has a bad habit of doing that." Sakura sighed "But anyway back to the Shuffle Alliance, you said you knew who had the other crests?"
"The previous Shuffle Alliance consisted of Neko, Drunkgun, Ninja Lou Lou, Vix-Vix, and Quickie." Zeta stated.
"Vixy had a crest the entire time and didn't tell us!?" Sakura shouted "Hell why does Lou have one, he hates G Gundam!"
"Beats me, according to Neko, Lou wasn't part of the original Shuffle Alliance. The original Shuffle Alliance consisted of Neko, Vix-Vix, Skyla, Yoshi, and Subby.
Skyla, Yoshi, and Subby eventually passed theirs down to people they trusted and/or people they synched up with during battle. Skyla passed it to Quickie during a major battle where they synched with each other, Subby passed his down after he met Wildgun in some ruins and Wildgun protected him, and Yoshi gave it to Loy Lou by orders of Neko because he hates G Gundam and he owed her some Wiis or something."Zeta explained.
"I guess Hitomi wasn't exactly lying when she said Sky had the Queen of Spades." Sakura sighed "So can we feel the emotions of the previous Shuffle Alliance."
"I don't think we can because we haven't been in battle with them yet since we got the crests otherwise I would have felt something since I got mine a little bit before the war started. Plus I hadn't had contact with Quickie or Lou Lou." Zeta responded.
"I see, I'm surprised that Lou didn't pass his on already." Sakura pondered.
"Lou Lou explained to me that something prevents him from forming that link with others or working well with teams, I think it has something to do with his sword?" Zeta explained.
"I guess that makes sense." Sakura nodded. "Can I ask one more thing? What did the previous Shuffle Alliance do?"
Zeta paused for a bit before answering "Remember those 2 weeks vacation I took about 2 years ago?"
"Yeah." Sakura nodded.
"Well...." Zeta began.
Zeta told Sakura a story from 2 years ago that she had never told anyone else at the request of the previous Shuffle Alliance members.
"So that's what happened 2 years ago." Sakura said trying to digest what she heard.
"Yeah hard to believe huh." Zeta nodded.
"I guess it makes sense why you had to be there." Sakura replied "But are you okay with the decision you made?"
Zeta closed her eyes before she answered Sakura.
"There were just so many thoughts that were going through my head that day, trying to sway me in one direction or the other. But I knew that if I didn't do what I did I would regret it for the rest of my life." Zeta heaved a heavy sigh.
"I understand how you feel, that was a tough thing to do I'm sure." Sakura nodded.
"Yeah but that's over and done with and I have other things I need to do now." Zeta said as she turned off the water and picked up her Egg.
"Are you going to see PB?" Sakura asked as she turned off the shower as well.
"Yeah I am, I want to stay with him so there's less of a chance he has nightmares of that day." Zeta nodded as she put on a bathrobe and began drying her hair with a hair dryer.
"That's fine, I'm going to go check on the pies with Asch if he's already done with his shower and then go to the bridge to wait for PBPB to contact us if she hasn't contact PB already." Sakura explained as she began drying her self with a towel.
"Yeah there must have been some interesting [parasitic bomb] that went on in the I.S.S." Zeta remarked.
"Agreed." Sakura nodded. "Zeta, can I ask you one more thing?"
"Sure." Zeta nodded.
"Please take care of PB." Sakura requested.
"I thought that went without saying." Zeta raised an eyebrow.
"I know but I just felt like I had to say it." Sakura shrugged.
"Well I will do everything I can for him, that much I can promise." Zeta replied.
"Thank you." Sakura smiled.
(I hope this is good.)
