Hi there! I got part 2 for you. For the reviewer who wrote that Sakiko
Hayase was Misa's mother, I was aware of that information at the
Macross Compendium. What I had meant to say was that I did not
know her maiden name. Thank you in any case.
New Author’s notes: I’ve changed the age gap between Riber and Misa to 2 years.
I thought the age difference was a bit too large for their relationship in the future.
The Macross Compendium lists in parenthesis that he could be only that much
older. Also, the dates for when Misa finishes the military academy seem to match
more with a younger age. So it makes sense for Riber as well.
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: I don't Macross ...

Part 3:
" Where do you want it, sir? "
Takashi placed a box on the floor before wiping his brow." Over
by the corner. "
" Actually, facing the window would be better. "
Three heads turned to find a woman with light brown hair and
beautiful green eyes carrying a tray of refreshments. " I thought you
gentleman needed something to drink. "
Takashi and the movers thanked her. After placing the sofa at the
location she specified, the movers quenched their thirst while Takashi gave
the woman a peck on the cheek before following the movers' example. He
caught her eye and the two shared a smile.
One of the movers, catching the look the two were giving one another,
elbowed the other and they quietly walked out of the room. Takashi placed
his cup on a box and wrapped his arms around Sakiko’s waist.
" You know you're beautiful. "
Sakiko flushed. It still thrilled her the same way it did when he said
it the first time. It amazed her that they were even together, especially
after what her father put him through.
" What are you thinking? "
" How you were able to put up with my father... "
He gave her a kiss. " It doesn't matter. Besides, he was just watching out
for you. I mean, I would too if I was a wealthy businessman."
" Having men in sunglasses follow you around is extreme. "
" Let's not forget the attempts at getting my personal file. "
She rolled her eyes. " How did you put up with that? "
" Well, I didn't mind the fan club, but after the second attempted
hack I got fed up. I made a copy of my file, went to your parents' home
with the entourage your father supplied on my tail and personally handed
it to him. After that, he seemed to warm up to me. I guess it's my
family's extensive military background that pleased him. "
" Actually, I think it's the fact that your family is well off. "
" That too. Of course, I fell in love with you the moment I laid
eyes on you at the restaurant."
She stood up on her toes and kissed him again. There moment of
pleasure was interrupted by some yelling. " Usagi! Wait! "
A small white blur zoomed passed their feet followed by a larger
blur. " Stop him! "
The white blur nearly made it out the door when a pair of hands
caught him. The larger blur skidded to a stop in front of the person who
caught the elusive white blur.
" Misa... oh, hello. " said Takashi.
A boy around the age of five with brown hair and sky blue eyes
stood at the door holding a white rabbit. Beside him stood a man and a
woman. The man had the same colored eyes, though he had lighter brown
hair. The woman had the same hair color as the boy, but with a brown
eyes. The man held his hand out.
" I'm Herbert Fruhling. I live down the road. "
Takashi shook hands with the man. " Takashi Hayase. You can call
me Takashi. "
He placed an arm around the woman. " This is my wife, Alice, and
my boy Riber. I'm guessing the pretty little girl is your daughter. "
Takashi smiled. " Yes she is. This is Misa. "
Herbert kneeled down in front her. " How old are you? "
The little girl cocked her head to the side. " She doesn't
know English very well. And she's three."
Herbert shook his head. " Alright. Well, I think we both understand
that you want this rabbit back. Riber, hand him over. "
Riber complied. Sakiko poked her head out the door. " Hello. "
The group made their introductions once more.
" Your daughter bears a striking resemblance to you, Sakiko. " said
Alice.
" Thank you. "
Alice picked up a basket off the floor and handed it to Sakiko. She
answered Sakiko's questioning look. " A house warming gift. "
" Oh, there's no need. "
" I insist. Besides, my two strong men have come over to help as
well. "
" There really is no need. We have the movers and were almost
done... "
Herbert raised his hand up. " That just means we'll finish sooner. "
****************************************************************
A consistent clicking sound filled the room. Soon, a melody
followed the rhythm. The melody stopped. The long delicate hands
were replaced by a smaller pair. The same melody played, though
not quite as smoothly. The little fingers tried to reach the far keys
on time, but failed to do so.
The long, slender hands were placed on top of the smaller
ones. They adjusted the smaller fingers into a better position.
She gave a smile of encouragement. The little hands completed
the section they failed earlier.
" I did it! " said an excited Misa.
Sakiko smiled and kissed Misa's forehead. " Yes, you did. "
There was a brief knock on the door before it was cautiously
opened a pair of pale blue eyes and head of brown hair peeked in. " Hi
Mrs. Hayase. Can Misa come out and play? "
Sakiko gave him a warm smile and stopped the old metronome.
" I think we've done enough for today. Did you complete your school
work?"
Misa nodded her vigorously. " You may go out. "
Misa gave her mother a hug and ran out the door. Life seemed to be
perfect for Sakiko.
********************************************************************
" Daddy! "
Takashi prepared himself for impact and scooped the "missile"
into his arms. " Why are you still up? "
" I want you to read to me. "
" And you waited all this time... didn't your mother tell you
I was going to be late? "
She nodded her head. " But I still wanted you to read to me. "
" Well, I guess we better get started right away. Pull
a book out and get into bed. I'll be there in a minute. "
Misa smiled from ear to ear and ran to her bedroom. He felt
a familiar pair of arms wrap around him from behind. " One would think
that school would tire her out..."
He turned in her arms and gave her a kiss. " She always
has to have you read her a story... "
" Even though she falls asleep after the first five minutes. I
know. " he said.
" Well, we know where her stubborn side comes from. "
Takashi raised an eyebrow. " Really? "
Takashi heard some giggling behind him. " Alright, alright... I'm
coming...the women here are so demanding..."
Sakiko gave him a light punch in the arm. " Don't you start... "
Takashi just shook his head. He scooped up his daughter and walked
down the hall to her room.
*****************************************************************
Misa and Riber got off the bus at their usual stop. The now nine
year old Riber had become had become Misa's unofficial older brother.
And like any good older brother ( or any gentleman as his mother
would say), he would make sure that his “sister” made it safely
home. This had been their routine since Misa started primary school.
“ It was really nice of your dad to show our class around. “ said
Misa. “ I really liked the air tunnel. “
Riber puffed his chest. “ Well, my mom and dad helped to test
build lots of planes. They even helped to build stuff for the Russian and US
space programs. My cousin - the pilot I told you about - told me they
were the best Aerospace engineers to come out of Germany. “
“ You’re from Germany? “ asked Misa.
“ No. I was born in *Oceania. “
“ Here? “
“ Um, well, I was born on an airplane on the way to here. So, they
listed on my birth certificate Oceania. At least, that’s what my mom says…“
Misa gave a toothy smile. “ That’s neat! I was born in a boring hospital in Japan. “
The two continued walking down the dirt path.
“ Have you ever been to Germany? “ asked Misa.
“ Yeah. When I was really little. Um… I think right after I was born they went
back to Germany ‘cause my mom wanted to be with her family. When I was two they
came back here because their company wanted them to work on some important stuff. “
“ Are you going to do what they do when you grow up? “
Riber frowned. “ I don’t know… My dad really wants me to go to
the military like he did… He’s already planned for me to sign up for a military junior
academy. He thinks it’s the best place for my future. “
“ What’s wrong with the military? I really like the big ships my daddy rides.
I think I’m going to be a soldier when I grow up. I also want to a play the piano
at concerts all over the world. “
Riber cocked his head to the side. “ How can you do that if you’ll be a soldier? “
“ The navy goes all over the world. I can play at the different places they stay. “
“ What if they don’t let you leave the ship? “
“ I’ll join the military orchestra. “
Riber gave her a smile. “ You sure have everything planned out. Well…
we're at your place. Better go in before your mom worries. "
She walked up to her porch before turning and waving at him. " Bye
Riber. "
" See ya later. " was his response.
Misa let out a sigh and opened her front door. To her surprise,
her father was home early. She was just about ready to run into his arms
until she heard her mother.
" Oh God. I still…can’t…"
Her father had his very serious look where his eyebrows seemed
to combine and form one brow. " Are they sure? "
" Yes. " her mother said in a shaky tone.
" How bad is it? Can you be cured? "
Tears slid down her face. Misa was scared. ' Why is Mommy crying? '
" They... they don't know. "
Takashi looked down at his lap. His back was hunched over and his hands
were shaking. His face changed once again. Sakiko knew that face. It
was his war face.
" We'll beat this. "
He looked her in the eye and placed his hands on her shoulders.
" We'll beat this. "
Sakiko broke down entirely. Takashi wrapped his arms around her and
tried to stop his own tears from flowing.
