The S.A.T. presents....   Gundam Girls, the story behind the people. Part three of the S.A.T. (Silver AllianceTrilogy)   Chapter Sixteen:     Freedom comes to those who study.   Authors Notes...      Hey everyone, I’ve finally finished this chapter. Sorry it’s taken so long, but I’ve had several issues with it. Firstly, I had major writers block (which was randomly cured today when I heard the song ‘In the Jungle’ and started thinking of Trowa). Secondly, Saberwyn has decided that he is not worthy of being a human being and has hurt too many of the sennen hanyou so he is no longer with us.  On a happier note, I have a new computer in my room with internet connection so once I get back up to speed, chapters should start coming out faster. In this chapter we have new character appearing. Everyone say hi to Archamais!   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Time passed. The exams become very stressful, as most final exams are. Add to that the fact that Atalanta tired quickly due to the constant spell that hid all signs of her pregnancy, and you have one easily pissed off Neko. Needless to say, Syaoran was on his best behavior while at home. Currently, Atalanta was studying the Mole ratio for her Chemistry exam. She screamed out in frustration. “That’s it! I can’t take anymore studying. Heero, Syaoran, get changed. We’re going out for some fun!” she picked up her things and stalked out of the library, throwing the books down. With a snarl, she flicked a finger. Her clothes changed to a white, sleeveless turtleneck and a pair of tight-fit jeans, along with a pair of sneakers. “Mum, we’re ready!” Syaoran called from the front door, jingling his mother’s car keys. “Alright, alright.” Atalanta said as she grabbed her bag and made sure her mobile was turned on. Heero staggered in. “Damnit, Odin thought it would be a good idea to trip me,” he hissed, dragging a foot behind the rest of his body. Heero then noticed a small slip of paper poking out from under the door, “Hey, what’s that?” “Letter bomb.” Syaoran snickered. Atalanta knelt down to pick it up when a small pang of pain coursed through her abdomen. She hissed softly, hoping Heero hadn’t seen her face contort in pain. Picking up the paper she said “It’s from Rika.” The letter read: ‘Lan,       Guys, I’m so bored and I’m sure you’re all sick of studying. PLEASE come visit me!              ;            &n bsp;    See ya!              ;            &n bsp;    Ri’ Atalanta grinned. “Koibito, I’ve got to stop off at Rika’s place later. Bring your laptop, kay?” she gave her mate bit doe eyes. “Cuteness...can’t resist...” the suicidal pilot winced at the magnetic pull of the neko-hanyou’s steely blue orbs, “Okay, give me a minute.”   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Many hours later, the two males were literally invisible behind their forts of shopping bags. Selene only knew how they walked in the right direction behind the neko, who carried no burden - the luck hanyou. “Geeze, mum, if shopping was an Olympic sport, you’d have three gold medals and commercial endorsement contract.” Syaoran groaned from behind the innumerable number of bags. “Ah, less yapping, more shopping!” Atalanta said happily, stopping in her favourite bookshop and checking out the manga selection. Yet what seemed another millennia later, the three stopped at a house that was barely visible behind a curtain of trees. “Where are we?” Heero asked. He and Syaoran had shoved the infinite amount of bags into their sub-space pockets. This is the house of the notorious shi no megami.” Atalanta stated, wincing from another pain her abdomen. She was definitely carrying Heero’s daughters. Just over a month along and already they were making their presence known. This time, Heero and Syaoran did notice the wince. “Are you alright?” Syaoran questioned. “I’m fine, little one. Now, let’s see if we can’t find your aunt.” Atalanta smiled as she went down the steps to the front door. Reaching into her hair, she pulled out a bobby pin, “Now, let’s see if I can still pick locks like I used to.” Within a minute, the door was open. “When did you learn to do that?” Heero asked. “Pre-colony. One of the lives I lead was as a cat-burglar. It was amusing, while it lasted, and the skills I learnt were handy.” Atalanta smirked as they entered. There was no sign of the teen they were looking for, “Rika Mareanthea Maxwell, I know you’re home! Do not try my patience!” Suddenly several thumps, crashes and clangs were heard, followed by swearing that could make a sailor blush, and Rika appeared out of a doorway as she rubbed her head with a grimace of pain. She perked up when she saw her unexpected guests. “Yay, people to keep me company!” she exclaimed happily. “You had some Sims stuff for me?” Atalanta questioned. “Yes indeed. You’ll like the stuff too, boys.” Rika grinned, leading the family over to her computer. “What did you cook up this time, Aunt Rika?” Syaoran asked. “Well, first I created a Relena Sim, then killed her and made a grave marker for her. Now I’ve created Sims for the whole large and extended family.” Rika showed them. “It is still hard to comprehend just how large the family was back then. There were so many of us. Planning weddings were hell.” Heero commented absently as he gazed over the Sims. “Who are they all?” Syaoran’s eyes were wide at the amount of people. “There’s my parents, Pharaoh Atemu and Queen Selenity. That’s Milliardo, Lucrezia, Rinoa, Squall, Otogi, Malik, Rachelle, Akeifa, Ami, Lita, Rei, Kouga, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Sugumi-sama, Naraku, Mai and Seth. That’s all the family that was at our wedding all those years.” Atalanta smiled softly. “I wonder what ever happened to Kouga, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha? They weren’t there at the final battle that much I know.” Heero frowned slightly in thought. “Heero, you upload all this on to your laptop, while Lan and I go chat.” Rika grinned, before dragging Atalanta out into the backyard. “You wanted to talk, Ryu?” Atalanta turned to her dragon demoness friend. “Damn, Neko, you didn’t wait long for Heero to knock you up again.” Rika stated, looking at Atalanta in amusement. “Why am I not surprised that you can see through my spells. Damn dragon abilities.” Atalanta grumbled. “You can’t hide behind a spell for ever. Does anyone other then Shippou know?” Rika asked. “Quatre does. He may not have his memories back, but he sees himself as my surrogate brother. It has been nice to be able to confide in him like we once did.” Atalanta smiled. Her eyes became distant as she was taken by old memories. “So, twin girls huh? Damn it, I’m Greek in this life and you’re still beating me!” Rika complained, “Do Heero and Syaoran know yet?” “No. They’ll both find out on Heero’s birthday. They think I’ve got the flu due to stress caused by exams. Oh my god, I just realized I’m pulling a Siren.” Atalanta grinned. “Ooh. Kitty, kitty, kitty, you bad bad monkey!” Rika laughed, falling back on a trampoline belonging to her youngest sibling, Rachelle. “Don’t start...oh, hell!” Atalanta looked down at her stomach, “Will you two settle down? I’m trying to live here! Geeze, if it wasn’t for my mother’s teachings...” Rika smirked, “Leave the breeding to those who do it well...like the Greeks!” “You’re just waiting for Duo to get his memories back, you little devil.” Atalanta snipped, punching the dragon demon in the arm playfully. “What do you think they’re talking about out there?” Syaoran questioned his father. “One thing I’ve learnt growing up with the sennen ladies, is to never try to understand females and their gossip.” Heero stated, looking up at his son from the computers.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Soon it was the last day of the HSC. Atalanta had finshed her last exam and was waiting to get out. The moment the year 12 girls got out of the hall, the all let out a loud cheer of triumph. “Freedom at last!” Atalanta exclaimed happily. She looked over at the crowed of people waiting for the cheering girls. Quatre hadn’t had an exam that day, so he had decided to come and wait for her. She glomped him happily. “I take it that you’re glad to be out of the exams?” Quatre smiled. “You’d better believe it. The twins have been driving me insane with how much they move around already.” Atalanta smiled ruefully. “Come on, lets get you home so you can rest and I can confuse Heero by glaring at him again.” Quatre wrapped an arm around her shoulder and lead her out of the school. “You’re such a sadist sometimes, Quatre. I know that you like freaking him out like that.”  Atalanta glared playfully. “I have to entertain myself some how. Besides, it is very rare that something can put Heero off balance like that.” Quatre grinned. “I can’t be bothered arguing with you. I’m too tired.” Atalanta yawned, before curling up on the car seat.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Heero arrived home to find Quatre waiting for him in the kitchen with Syaoran. They seemed to be playing poker, using pretzels as betting chips. “Hey Heero. Atalanta’s asleep upstairs if you’re curious.” Quatre stated. “I take it that you picked her up then?” Heero asked as he grabbed an apple out of the fridge. “I did. She was exhausted. Fell asleep on the way here and only woke up enough to stagger upstairs.” Quatre nodded. “I’m worried about her. It’s not like her to get so exhausted, even if she is sick. It’s as if I know the reason, but I can’t recall it.” Heero frowned. The situation with Atalanta seemed frustratingly familiar, but he couldn’t think of where from. “You worry too much koi. I’m alright, just stressed.” Atalanta smiled as she walked into the kitchen. She was wearing a medieval gown that was royal blue with silver trimming. Quatre remembered that they had become popular and a store called ‘Tree of Life’ sold them. “I am inclined to worry about your well being, Neko. Would you have me do otherwise?” Heero pulled her into an affectionate kiss. “Course not. I just get exasperated at over-protective men some times. Osiris only knows how many of those I’ve had to put up with over the years. My father, three brothers, my brother in law, and all my male friends.” Atalanta wrinkled her nose in irritation as she remembered the over-protective men that had appeared in her life at one time or another. “I take it that there are a lot of males in your family?” Quatre raised an eyebrow. “Yeah. Let me see, in total there are...” Atalanta trailed off, her eyes going out of focus and she counted, “There were fifteen in my immediate family and friends.”   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following day, a party was held at the pilots’ mansion to celebrate the end of the exams. “Thank god that’s all over!” Duo exclaimed happily. “I have NEVER liked exams.” Atalanta growled in annoyance, “I’ve had to sit too many of them in my lifetime.” “Hey, has anyone else noticed that Saberwyn has disappeared?” Aurora questioned. At that moment, Archamais walked into the room. Everyone turned to stare at the Saturnian royal guard. “What? I had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he’s ceased to exist!” She stated, before walking out again and muttering, “He deserved it anyway.”   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~    Author’s Notes:       Hey everyone, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
