By Lady Une-chan
August 9, AC 197
The Preventers' Offices, Germany
"I'm sorry Mr. Cinco, but you know that I don't work weekends. Yes, that would the reason why I wasn't at the office. Don't yell at me! I'm head Preventer and can break off an alliance with you. No, I never would do that. Honesty, do you actually think I'm that crazy, or do you agree that I should be throw out of office because at one point at my life I had two personalities!" Lady Une was on the phone with the president of Earth's Sphere Alliance. Treize stood off to the side and listened that what she was saying. Apparently, Mr. Cinco was upset that she wasn't at the office when Anita Cruz went on the air.
"I'm sorry Mr. Cinco," Lady Une said calmly, "But, what as happened has happened, and I wasn't here. In fact I was at my own engagment party! You should be glad I even came to the office," Lady Une paused to listen to Mr. Cinco. "Yes, he's here do you want to speak to him?" she asked. "Okay." She turned to Trize. "He wants to talk you."
Treize took the phone. "Yes, we were at our own engagment party. Duo Maxwell and Chang Wufei wanted to watch a soccer match, so the TV was on when it happened. Lady Une wanted to go to the office right after it happened. Mr. Cinco, please don't talk to my fiancee` like that. She doesn't work on weekends and you know that. Don't yell at her because she's not here on a weekend. She going to send people out right away to investigate Anita Cruz, so don't worry. Goodbye, Mr. Cinco."
"Cinco is impossiable. How did he end up in office?" asked Treize.
"I really don't know. He was elected by the people. I really don't think the people knew who they were voting for. He promised to follow in your footsteps, and that caught people's attention. He really as no clue that your ideas are. That's why I started the Preventers. Mr. Cinco calls me all the time because he doesn't know what you would do. However, most people believe that I shouldn't hold an office because of my mental condition. I'm schizophrenic and I talk to myself."
"You're not schizophrenic," said Treize.
"I had a split personality. Doesn't that mean that I'm schizophrenic?" asked Lady Une.
"Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that is when you can't fuction in everyday life. Most people with schizophrenia heard voices in their heads, and most of the time those voices tell them to do things they shouldn't. Therefore, you are not schizophrenic."
"Really?" asked Lady Une.
"At least that's what the dictionary says. Besides, you had two personalities, not have," said Treize.

"So what do you want to do?" asked Dorothy.
"Come see my room!" said Mariemeia.
"Okay."
Mariemeia lead Dorothy up the stairs to her room.
"Wow, this is neat and tidy!" exclaimed Dorothy.
"Thank you," said Mariemeia.
"You've got a lot of books," said Dorothy.
"I like to read," replied Marimeia.
Dorothy looked at the picture frames on Mariemeia's desks.
"Well, this one is of you and Lady Une," Dorothy said, "And this one is of you and your parents. Recently took?" she asked.
"Took it yesterday. Got it developed this morning.”
"And this one is of you and your birth mother, Leia Barton, isn't it?" asked Dorothy.
"Yeah. It's the only I have of her."
"Do you wish your father and birth mother stayed married?"
"No, I like having Lady Une as a mother. Besides, Daddy and my birth mother didn't get along. I'm sure she could have stopped Grandfather from arranging a marriage between them."
"But then you wouldn't be here," said Dorothy.
"I rather not be here than see my parents unhappy," said Marimaya.
"You mean your father and Lady Une?" asked Dorothy.
"Yes. When I talk about my birth mother I mean Leia Barton. When I just say 'Mommy', I mean Lady Une. So when I say my parents, I mean Daddy and Mommy," Mariemeia said.
"Do you think that Lady Une is a better mother than Leia Barton could ever be?" asked Dorothy.
"My birth mother really couldn't take care of me. My nursemaid did. I feel that Mommy is a much better mother."
God, this chapter is a bit childish (the style of writing, that is. I did write it a year ago.) Please review!!
