Barcodes and Barbies
By ~Jillybean~
What if they'd told me that I was going to become a run away? Would it have changed my outlook on life?
My name is Alec, she told me so. Who is 'she' you ask? Well, that's a story. I wasn't so sure it would work out when she was brought back to Manticore, the barracks were rife with rumor.
She had escaped before.
She was going to escape again, as the theory went. I was kinda curious I have to admit, she was good at her thing, but I was never sure what that was.
So who is she? Her name is Max, one of the original X-5's, can I say that I care about that? An original X-5, they were special. The soldier part of me is curious. The rest of me is screaming "Barbie! Barbie!"
Can I say that I miss her? There's just something which makes me like her, I always have. Like when I was helping her 'escape' from Manticore, I almost fooled myself into thinking I was doing it for her.
Interesting the way the mind works.
Ah - but she'll never think that way. She's just a little girl. I think that I might actually be attracted to her, that's also an interesting thought.
I miss her, only been a few hours, I miss her prescence.
He was overjoyed to see her. Eyes Only, Logan Cale, whoever. I was kinda jealous, Max would never look at me that way. It hurts, I thought we had a rappor, I had tried to save her, at least that what's she thought.
I'll try harder next time.
I really promise I will.
It's all just barcodes and barbie's.
