KOS-MOS opened her eyes knowing that Shion and Momo would be there to meet her crimson eyes. "Good Morning Shion, and Momo." She calmly said knowing the daily routine of her awakening. "Good to see your functioning fine KOS-MOS." Shion said with a smile, Momo just stood there with a soft knowing smile. Shion took out her connection gear and read the screen the floated above it. "All systems are normal, a slight fluctuation in the cerebral systems but that could be nothing of danger. Could you flex your right hand for me." KOS-MOS lifted her right hand and flexed it into a fist tried to unfold her hand but her fingers didn't listen. "Two of your circuit suppressors have malfunctioned causing damage to three of the joint motors." Shion said flatly reading the information on the screen. Momo looked worried, "So how can it be repaired?" Shion thought for a moment. "Nano-machines would be the easy choice, KOS-MOS initiat repair mo..." "Wait! Can I do it?" Both KOS-MOS and Shion looked towards Momo, "I am capable of Nano repair, can you let me." Shion looked back at her connection gear. "Guess it wouldn't hurt." Momo skipped over to the android and grasped the malfunctioning fist with both hands. She made sure her back was to Shion and let her nano machines do the work. KOS-MOS closed her eyes as a subtle warmth washed over her hand. She had been repaired by nano machines before but this was the first time since she has been able to feel emotions and sensations that she had felt the nano machines doing there job. A new warmth washed over her as Momo placed a light kiss on the newly repaired hand. She smiled sweetly as KOS-MOS soon recovered from the sudden rush of sensation. "All better KOS-MOS?" She asked kindly as KOS-MOS flexed her hand again to assure her that it was fully repaired. "Thank you for your assistance Momo." She said in a monotone voice because Shion was now looking over Momo's shoulder. KOS-MOS stepped out of her black coffin hoping she hadn't noticed Momo's act of affection. Shion turned and walked towards the door. "Thanks for the help Momo. Breakfast will be ready in 45 minutes." Shion chimed as she walked through the door. Momo leaned towards KOS-MOS and without warning jumped at her and threw her arms around KOS-MOS's neck and just hung there. "I am I going to have to kiss all your Boo Boos KOS-MOS?" She said playfully before planting a soft kiss on the android's lips. "I almost forgot that NATARAJA data Allen has been bugging me about." Shion said to herself while walking back into the room. KOS-MOS had a look of complete shock while Momo stammered a response while still hanging from her lover, "I...I...um...Tripped." Was the only excuse she could give as Shion plugged her connection gear into the black coffin. "Watch yourself Momo, it would hurt if you tripped and hit your head." She said with a sweet smile as Momo let her feet land silently on the floor. Shion soon unplugged her connection gear and walked back out of the room. KOS-MOS and Momo simply stood there until Momo started giggling, "She may be a scientist but she can be pretty oblivious at times." KOS-MOS's shocked look soon vanished, "Please Momo, no more close calls." Momo smiled coyly and replied, "Oh I am sorry. Did I scare my Kossy-Mossy?" KOS-MOS gave her a funny look. "Kossy-Mossy? Could I get a different pet name?" She said. Momo turned and ran away, "You'll have to catch me..." She was lifted a foot off the ground. "...Note to self: Don't race with an android." KOS-MOS held her close to herself so that Momo's back brushed against her chest. "Just call me KOS-MOS alright." She whispered in the realian's ear. Shivers traveled down the realian's spine as blood rushed to her face. Momo hung her head to try and hide the fact she had gotten hot and bothered over just a few words. "Are you alright Momo?" KOS-MOS asked, detecting the sudden rush of blood to Momo's face. Momo blushed even brighter as an image materialized in the back of her brain. "I fine really." She said as she tried in vain to remove the thought from her head. "Stupid Gaignun thinking he is some kind of shrink!" Jr. yelled slamming his small fist on the desk. "How dare he say those things. He has no right!" He leaned back in his chair that was obviously a size too big for him. He tried to calm his nerves but everything he thought about only added more fuel to the fire. "Damn it! It's like the whole galaxy is out to get me!" he yelled in frustration as he stood up and stormed over to the pool table. He lifted his small frame onto the edge and stared out through the window into the cold emptiness of space. Jr. groaned as an image of him and Momo kissing flashed through his head. He remembered everything he did with her and how he now knew he only was using her to fill the hole Sakura left behind in his heart. He remembered how her lips were exactly the same, in texture and taste. He remembered how there smiles was completely the same. Momo was like a painting depicting the image of beauty, but she was only the image and not the person. He slumped backward and lay flat on the pool table, but felt the hard surface of the eight ball jamming into his small spinal cords. Jr. reached behind him and grabbed the eight ball and flung it over his head towards the door. He was too angry to realize that the ball never hit the ground. He stood up and looked out the window, just before the eight ball collided with the back of his head. "Didn't you ever hear the old saying that people in glass houses shouldn't throw eight balls?" Came the voice of Captain Matthews. "What are you here for?" Jr. spat with venom in his voice. Matthews readjusted his "I am a Boozer" hat and said, "The this year's financial documents." Jr. ran over to his desk and pretended to flip through his book, "Hmm...let me see, it says STILL IN DEBT! What difference does it make anymore if you know the number?" Jr. yelled, "No Little Master. Mary and Shelly just sent me for the Durandle's financial reports." Jr. opened another drawer and pulled out a CD. "Here now leave me alone!" He said tossing the small black object to the Elsa's Captain. Matthews crossed his arms, "What seems to be the problem...Friends? Family? Girlfriend?" Jr. twitched at the last words and Matthews knew the answer all too soon, "Must have been a bad break up. I know what that feels like." Jr. was clenching his fists and shot back, "You? With a woman? That's about as likely as you having money!" Matthews was unfazed by the remark and replied, "Let the Elsa crew help you. We may be poor bastards but we know how to cheer people up." Jr. stormed over to him and tried to push him through the threshold but his size prevented him, "Damn it! I break up with a girl and suddenly every guy on this ship is out to give me a heartfelt man to man discussion!" Matthews took the hint and turned to leave, "Come to the bar on the Elsa some time if words won't help liquor will." Jr. slammed the door. "Damn it! Do all these people spy on me or something?" He turned around and walked to his desk but the eight ball found its way under his foot and he landed hard on his back. "STUPID BALL!" He screamed as the sound of a gunshot rang through the room.
