As the cheerful blue skies with white clouds, make way for the star filled black skyes, street lights illuminate the city streets. Charlotte begins to walk out of the movie theater, with a bright smile on her face and her arm latched on to Ismael's, who looked extremely confused.
Not even bothering to try and put in some form of tack into the question, he asks. ''Why was the redo of Star Wars so screwed up? Luke I am your mother. What the hell?''
It was moments like these, that Charlotte had a rare expression on her. One that was only known by those closest to her. A flat look, mixed with a straight face. The kind people give each other, the one that says let it go man, just let it go. While true, she could debate\argue with him, how this remake made a lot more sense, she also knew what a huge Star Wars fan he was.
So she choose to do the smarter thing and made him shut up and do\think of something else. ''Ismael let's go see the city lights.'' Charlotte says
''What?'' says Ismael
''There's is a building that lets people see the city lights from the roof, I heard about it from a friend.'' Charlotte says
''Sure but why all of a sudden?'' Ismael asks
''Actually I wanted to see it ever since I heard about it.'' Charlotte says As they walk Charlotte begins to fidget and become tense, finally mustering up the courage she asks Ismael a question she knows is incredibly sensitive not just to him but the entire group.
''Is..Ismael why did you start the war? I know that you keep saying that you didn't want a war, but that's what you started. The thing is no one says why, when I ask them they just keep quiet.'' Charlotte says in a mixture of timid and firm voice
''....We don't talk about it, because we failed at what we wanted.'' Taking a deep breath while people walk leisurely by them Ismael begins to talk. ''I'm not going to lie, when I started this I wanted revenge, but the thing is that only gets you so far. As I got older, I began to see the world in a different light.''
''You see the truth is I gave up on building the armors more than once, it was because of money or something else but ultimately I always gave up. I had already met James and Michael back then, you know how it is, a group of us get together and we built a tv and tried to sell it.''
''A man named Wong stole the design and left us without anything, you know what the worst part of it was, the Judge didn't even believe us. She said that because we were too young we could have never built the thing.''
''You know at the end of the day we didn't really care anymore and we let it go.'' He begins to smile ''I think it was when I entered my first year of High School, I met a guy named Timothy, he was a good friend. Melissa was with him around that time, beats the hell out of me if they had a thing, but I think they were just friends.''
''Anyway life at home was going from bad to worse, combined that with the bullying at school and how guys were treated back then and I was ticking time bomb. Look I'm not going to lie I was to caught up on myself back then, but I wasn't the only one.'' '' You see, one day we met a guy named Lance and he was insane, to think he actually struck back at several of the girls.''
''Hell I don't even remember when it was, but we got together one day. The truth is, I wasn't the only one that wanted to build the dam things, hell our original plan was sell a completed model and watch the profits come in.''
''Look things were bad back then and I mean bad. ...There were times that I honestly thought I didn't have any freedom at all, it just wouldn't stop. Back then I really was at the point where I would had blown, turns out everyone else was too.''
''You see up to this point we were just talking about rebuilding them, that was until I decided to post it on the websites, everyone said it couldn't be done. Guess I showed them, you can imagine the rest, when they found out that I somewhat did it, they started building their own.''
''The truth is we couldn't keep contact with several of the other groups, as a result some of them ended up with better armor, weapons or shields. But the thing is when someone wants to change the way people think, people were going to resist.''
''You see the way we saw things back then, was like this. If the Infinite Stratos gave woman the ability to do what they wanted because it was unstoppable, then probing that it wasn't, would make them realize that they couldn't get away with it anymore.''
''I guess you can say we succeeded and we paid the price for it, God know when everyone's mind changed.''
''Charlotte listen, when a group like this is created not everyone agrees with how it's being lead. Please stay away from anything involving us, in the near future, bad things are going to happen. Looks like were here.'' Ismael finally finishes
