[RL with Simon]

[pinksugargirl]

After talking with Pegasus late into night Chibiusa feel asleep. It wasn't a very deep sleep and she felt restless the whole time. Eventually she woke up again and something didn't feel quite right. She winced a bit as she stretched and yawned. Slowly and groggily she sat up and rubbed her eyes. It wasn't until she actually opened her eyes that things went bad. It was dark. She could barely see what was in front of her. There's no way her attic room would be that dark. Even at night the streetlights and stars leaked their glow into her window.

Frantically she felt around only to have her arm touch something soft...it was skin. Someone else's skin. There was someone lying next to her. Immediately she leaped out of the bed and let out a shrill cry. And as she did she felt a tight pain form in her chest, causing her to scream even more and collapse to her knees.

Chibiusa gasped for air as her heart started beating at a normal rate once more.

"What...was...that?" she asked in between gasped. "Why's this happening?"

"I have no idea, but it happens whenever we're not touching. So don't let go, okay?" He looked dead serious, and with only the light of his goggles to go by... he looked pretty scary.

She didn't like the idea one bit, but she didn't like Simon's look or the chest pains either so she sighed and grabbed his hand with her own. "Fine, then lead me to the computer okay?"

He sighed and stood, flicking on the light. The sudden brightness made the small size and barrenness of the room obvious. After turning off his head lamp, he opened the closet, rooted through a few extra pairs of shorts, he found it. "Here." It was small, about the size of a modern-day Acer One, blue and lightweight. He set it on the bed as it buzzed to life. "Do whatever you want."

Chibiusa didn't say anything, but she frowned as she tried to figure out the computer. It was pretty different from what she was used to, both in her own time and in the past, but she was able to work it out and made a post to the community.

"There. Now we just wait for replies."

"...Do you really think it's linked to that? I mean, it's just some... computer thing. Could that box really be affecting us?" ... though inside there was less speculation. Why not? It had let him talk to Kamina again. Let him meet Bass, even let them fight... why NOT bring what looked to be an eight (but how should he know, he looked eight himself, and he was almost double that) year old into his room? Stranger things had happened.

"I don't know. But it's a good place to start looking don't you think?"

It was an odd place, and Chibiusa was used to things that most people would consider odd. So when something strange like what had just happened occured, she figured it would be a good place to start looking.

"And what then? What are we supposed to do about the dan?" He heaved a heavy sigh. "Just pretend they don't exist? I'm pretty sure they're gonna have a lot of questions about you." He stared intently at the door. Oh, boy.

"The dan?" Chibiusa asked, giving Simon a confused look. "What's that?"

[core-digger.livejournal.com]

"The Dai-Gurren-dan. I'm their leader. We fight so that humans can live above land." He didn't look away from the door. "Aniki made it."
