Minako wrinkled her nose as she walked in the door and threw herself on the couch with a heavy sigh. It was a nice day but she found herself unable to enjoy it for a multitude of reasons, though one stood above the rest. She had been hoping to spend time with her big sister but recently the older girl had been spending much more managing her club and she felt strangely jealous. Thinking about it only made her more angry and upset and whatever other emotion were associated with jealousy though and she knew that it wasn't healthy to let herself brood.

Letting out another, quieter sigh she lay on the couch for a quick catnap as she really had nothing better to do at the moment, letting her thoughts drift as she closed her eyes. At some point she began dreaming, this particular dream being of the day that she had been given her gunpla, the Gundam Heavyarms.


It had been a relatively normal day up to that point. She had just gotten home from school, having arrived to an empty house as Misaki hadn't gotten back yet and their parents had been away for reasons that she couldn't quite remember. Anyways after getting home that day she had grabbed a snack and had flopped onto the couch, waiting for someone, anyone to get home and keep her company before she succumbed to absolute boredom.

That particular day the first person from the Nakajima household that made it back was the 'queen of the castle.' Mrs. Mitsuko Nakajima herself who'd parked her own vehicle on the driveway, she'd just returned from the weekly grocery trip and was looking for someone to help her unload the trunk of her car stacked full of food and cleaning supplies.

" Mina~ come help me out. c'mon be a good girl I brought you a surprise today." Being an ironclad mother Mitsuko only gave gift to her daughters when it was either their birthdays or they had done something extremely well and deserved it. While their family was economically stable both daughters had the misfortune of being born in December which meant they'd either get a birthday gift OR a Christmas gift; Never both.

Minako had recently entered the honor roll after her first month of Jr. high and Mitsuko and their father where so proud they agreed to give her something especial. While strict and demanding Mitsuko was well aware what her girls liked so she'd gone out of her way to find the suitable Gunpla for the youngest sibling in the shape of a special edition Heavy Arms Gundam Endless Waltz edition which was given to the attentive teenager after she was done practically soloing the entire grocery load. " I'll take care of sorting things out here you go and have fun playing." In the meantime Mitsuko remained in their vast kitchen washing up the vegetables she'd brought home with the same diligence as always. Surely she was a housewife but that was one of the many roles she fulfilled while her husband was away at work.

It wasn't long before Minako first heard the sound of a vehicle pulling up into the driveway followed by the sound of their mother's voice. A surprise? I wonder what it could be. She was definitely curious, especially since she knew her mother wasn't one to give gifts unless it was a special occasion. "I'll be right there mom!" Either way being the diligent, well behaved young girl she was she got up off the couch and headed outside to the car, grabbing a couple bags at a time and carrying them into the house, making repeat trips as necessary until all the bags were inside the house.

It was once all the bags were inside the house that she received her gift, one that made her eyes go wide and begin sparkling. It was her own Gunpla, a special edition Heavy Arms Gundam Endless Waltz edition. "Thank you so much mom!" Unable to help the giggles escaping from her she ran into the living room, ready to tear the box open though for a moment she just decided to simply stare at the box instead.

"I can't wait for Misaki to see this!"

With a wide grin on her lips Mitsuko saw her daughter dash towards her bedroom. Surely she was an strict mother but being so harsh with her children led them to be responsible well mannered young ladies that would have no issues adapting to the challenges of modern society. no matter how harsh or demanding she was, she loved her daughters and was proud of the two of them even if it didnt show on their everyday life. The day Minako and Misaki would leave the house would be the day Mitsuko would feel lonely and probably wish she'd spoiled them more, but in the meantime she would hide those feelings underneath that iron clad exterior.

As if the words of enthusiasm coming from her sister mouth summoned her, Misaki arrived at the house after spending some time after classes window shopping the local stores with some of her friends. Being the firstborn daughter she was the favorite and often the one who had to set up the example for Minako. Just like all sisters the two of them argued over petty issues sometimes but overall got along very well.

" hey ma' when will the lunch be ready?" Inquired the eldest sibling already feeling quite hungry. Her mother simply stated she'd brought roasted chicken for all of them to enjoy since the man of the house was having a business related luncheon with some associates. Not very often did Mitsuko get away with not cooking a home made meal so it was a welcome change since it meant not making a mess of the kitchen she working so hard keeping clean.

With a tired sigh Misaki walked over to her room which was at the end of the hallway, as she passed over she couldnt help but take a peek inside Minako's room since the door was open as she drooled over what looked like a new Gunpla kit. " interesting ... " mumbled her feeling sorta bad for the poor Heavy arms young Minako recently obtained.

Having had enough of simply staring and drooling, though still drooling over what lay inside, Minako began gently poking at the delicate packaging of the box, slowly peeling away at the tabs that kept her prize away from her. She was being as gentle as she could so that she could still hold onto the box, just to have it around. It took a bit with how careful she was being but eventually she managed to get the box open and began pulling out pieces of the kit.

As she was sorting through the pieces she suddenly heard footsteps, footsteps that stopped outside her open bedroom door. Curious about who it could be she turned around and saw her big sister, Misaki standing outside her door. "Sis! Sis! Sis! Look what I got!" She got up from her desk chair, running towards the door with the now empty box in hand. Perhaps she was being a bit too excitable but she had wanted a Gunpla of her own for so long, and she finally had it so of course she was more than a little excited.

There was one thing though.. something that she hadn't quite realized in her excitement. "Umm.. sis? Can you help me out with it?" She asked, blushing slightly and poking her fingers together. She was normally independent and wouldn't have asked but if there was one person that she would show weakness to it was her sister. Plus she really didn't want to mess this up.

It was rather staggering to see how enthusiastic Minako was to get her first Gunpla built up and ready for action. Those small delicate hands of hers where shaking with anticipation and those ruby eyes gave off a radiant glint. " Yeah! no problem lemme just get changed and bring my tools over here." There was no way Misaki would have been able to refuse her sister request for help when she asked nicely like that. It also made it very clear Minako didnt want to screw it up and would be responsible when taking care of the Heavy arms.

Mitsuko taught his girls to really take care of their own belongings by making them earn them trough effort, however this resulted in Misaki often getting too attached to mere objects which was a serious personal flaw, of course the girl never mentioned such a thing. who would?

Within less than five minutes Misaki was back at Minako's bedroom now wearing a green tank top shirt and black gym shorts. Her hair was let loose with only an hair clip keeping her bangs in check and she was barefoot. Like promised she brought a set of pliers and sanding paper to clean the sprue marks in order to give each individual piece a clean look as the assembled it.

" I only got one set of pliers so you'll use it." Aside from providing advise and the right tools the eldest sibling was making it clear she would let Minako tackle this challenge by herself. After all the highly detailed instruction manual was relatively straightforward.

Minako was practically bouncing on the balls of her feet at this point as Misaki agreed to help her. Honestly a small part of the reason why she had asked Misaki to help her out was that there was nothing that she loved more than spending time with her big sister so now she was just a bit more excited. While waiting for her sister's return she went back to her desk, humming to herself as she sat back down.

It didn't take long before Misaki returned and not for the first time Minako couldn't help but feel like Misaki looked remarkably similar to their mother with her hair down like that. Anyways, with her sister's return it was time to get to work, though not before taking a couple moments to calm herself. She couldn't afford to have shaky hands after all, nor could she be too excited when assembling.

As Misaki spoke, she couldn't help but tilt her head slightly to the side a moment before suddenly blinking in realization. She was clearly intended to do this herself other than a bit of advice and of course being provided the proper tools. It was a thought that admittedly made her a bit nervous but nonetheless she nodded and opened up the instruction manual before taking a deep breath and beginning to carefully read over the instructions. "Let's do this."

Even though Misaki claimed she wasn't going to help her younger sister putting together the Heavy arms she actually started putting together the rest of the limbs at her usual pace but instead of pliers she used her hobby knife and made sure to sand off the sprue marks left giving the finished pieces a more polished look. " thinking about giving it a custom color?" Since this was Minako first Gunpla it seemed likely she would want to customize it with a personal touch. In case she did the oldest sibling gave her usual advise she did with every other new arrival at her club.

Thanks to the help provided by the extra set of hands the fully assembled Gundam Heavy arms stood proud in less than an hour. Even if it was an straight out of the box assemble it was richely detailed, after all this was a brand new High Grade kit that had only been recently introduced, as such its articulation range was vast and it didnt require panting to look anything like its animated counter part. It was such a cool looking Gundam even Misaki wished it was hers, but it belonged to Minako and no one else.

The siblings managed to get it all done just in time for their mother to call them over so they could eat the lunch she'd fixed for them. Not very often did Mitsuko get away with not cooking a meal for the whole family so it was a nice break to have a roasted chicken she'd bought at the store's just for the three of them to enjoy.

Minako was pleasantly surprised to say the least when her sister began to help her put together the Heavyarms. With the two of them working together, Misaki working on the limbs and Minako working on the rest, carefully sanding off any sprue marks left to make it look better. To Misaki's question, she immediately nodded. "Yeah, I was thinking maybe like a reddish color or maybe orange. Maybe even both." It was clear that she had already put a bit of thought into it. This was something that she had really been looking forward to after all.

Within the hour, thanks to the assistance from Misaki, the fully assembled Gundam Heavyarms stood before them, Minako practically gushing as she stared at it. It was not only her first Gunpla but also the first model that she had actually managed to assemble, even though she had help and it had been assembled just as it had come in the box. So she was fairly proud of herself. Plus the beauty standing on the desk was all hers and nobody else's.

They were done just in time too as just as the finishing touches had been put on their mother had called them for lunch. She grabbed her sister's hand and pulled her towards the kitchen with her, practically skipping in glee at the events of this day. "Mom! We put it together and it's absolutely wonderful and thank you so much! Also what's for lunch?" She cheerfully called out, practically speed talking, the moment that she spotted their mother.

If it wasnt for the fact Misaki moved her feet chances where Minako sheer energy would rip her arm out. Such an energetic young lass, she was. The ecstatic youngster was greeted with a smile from her mother, knowing that gift had made her happy made Mitsuko feel all warm and fuzzy inside. " i'm glad you liked it so much. today we'll have Roast chicken and red rice." This was what considered a 'lazy' lunch for the standards of the Nakajima household. There was also a fresh bowl of garden salad at the table set up for the three of them. as for drinks she'd made a large jar of mango water. Mitsuko secret for keeping her enviable figure was her balanced diet which also benefited her both daughters who where considered to be very attractive even for girls of their age.

Any other day Mitsuko would have told her daughter that ' what she made' was for lunch but today everyone was in such a good mood, Even Misaki was surprised to see their mother react so warmly. ' uh. and I thought I was the favorite.' Thought the eldest sister as she fixed her own plate before sitting up on the table, she wasn't jealous or anything just taken by surprise slightly.

As usual Misaki remained mostly silent as they had their meal. for Dessert Mitsuko had brought everyones favorite ice cream. obviously it was up to each girl to serve it for themselves. Since ice cream had too much fat their mother focused on getting the dishes washed while Misaki indulged herself with a bowl of the sweet tasty treat. " Maybe i'll take you to the club to practice with the others sometime." commented her to Minako.

Even for a 'lazy' lunch, the meal laid out before them was not only fairly extravagant, at least when compared to other households and that was how Minako liked it. If there was one thing that she wanted it was to grow up to have a figure just like her mother's so she had learned by this point that a balanced diet was important for maintaining an excellent shape.

She had to admit though that even though she had never even shown it she shared her sister's surprise that their mother was reacting so warmly. It was a bit odd to say the least but not unwelcome. It was a nice change of pace compared to how the air around the household normally felt and she was glad for it.

Throughout the meal while the others seemed to remain mostly silent, she chattered away as she normally did between bites, talking about her day and what had happened at school. She too fell silent though after the meal as she saw that Mitsuko had bought ice cream, which she politely waited for her sister to finish getting some before she served herself. "Hmm? That would be wonderful sis. I would absolutely love that." was her response to Misaki's comment about taking her to the club sometime.

"Hey sis, what are the members of your club like anyways? I hope that they're nice at least." she asked while shoving a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. She hadn't actually spent an extended period of time with the members of the club so she had no idea what kinds of people she would be interacting with. Plus she was a naturally curious child so that played a small part in the question too.

" Well so far its just Mei Ling, Sia, llona and Yuuka. Mei Ling is our senior and she knows so much about building than me and is a much better fighter. she;s so cool and collected. Sia is a tad quirky, she and llona take the Earth Federation and Zeon rivalry to extremes that often leave me wondering if they are playing around or not. Yuuka is rather timid but she's a nice girl. I wish she would make her own decision sometimes but I cant force other person views to match mine ... " With her family Misaki openly expressed her views about the rest of the girls that composed the Condor Legion. Surely they where all a quirky bunch and Misaki wouldn't have them any other way. " By the time you attend classes at Torrington most of us will graduate and go somewhere else so i'd like you to take my place as the club president. I'm already laying the bases for the time you come to power so it will be up to you to choose the individual team members when the time comes." It hurt her heart to know that someday all the current members would walk their separate ways, however they would leave a collection of finely built gunplas for the next generation to pick as an example.

Minako silently listened to her sister as she spoke of the members of her club, taking mental notes of each so that she knew what to look for when she met them. It seemed that they really were a quirky bunch, though she would have to slap some sense into the timid one. She hated it when people couldn't stand up for themselves and make their own decisions, as shown by her usual independence. But even she sometimes had her own moments of weakness, as shown earlier, though it was usually only her family that saw them.

Then Misaki said something really surprising, something that caused her to drop her spoon in surprise. "I'm going to be taking over the club? Sis.. do you really think that I would make a good president? I mean, I would love the position but am I really suitable?" She was having her doubts but she also knew that her sister wouldn't have come to such a decision if she really didn't think that she was capable, yet she chose to question it anyways.

Seeing that shocked look on Minako's face was simply adorable so much Misaki softly pet her head a couple of times. " you're responsible, confident and dedicated I couldn't ask for a better candidate to take over. I'm not a great club president but it doesnt really matter, however as a leader you have to put the needs of the club over your own personal goals. Its a hobby for all of us, so there's no point to it if you and your peers dont enjoy it." Truly she was convinced that her younger sister had all the necessary qualities to lead the Condor Legion in the future. " I'll make sure to stay in touch with the current members and have them provide advise to any future arrivals if the opportunity presents itself." If not then Misaki herself would gladly accept the role of coach even if she was getting ahead of herself for a few years.

After dispelling those looming doubts Misaki stood from the seat taking the empty bowl with her to get it washed. Their mother had had gone to the master bedroom for her afternoon nap, after all she'd always woke up early running all over town each morning to run all kinds of errands. Being a housewife wasnt just about staying on the house, it wasnt so simple keeping the household together.

A light blush crossed Minako's cheeks as she thought over what Misaki was saying. Could she really be a good leader? Yeah, if her big sister said that she had the qualities necessary to take over the club then it had to be true. "Okay sis, I understand. I'll do what I can to become a leader worthy of taking your place and I'll make it the very best that it can be." Now that she had no more doubts she was incredibly determined to do what she could. She would definitely make her big sister proud of her and when the time came the new generation of the Condor Legion would be the very best. Still though there was a bit of time ahead of them before that so it was best to take it nice and slow.

She finished off her ice cream and stood up to join Misaki in washing the now empty bowls. What could they do now? They couldn't be too loud as they didn't want to wake their mother from her nap so that didn't leave too many options. "So.. what do we do now sis?" she curiously asked while looking up towards her sister, her head tilted slightly to the side.

" Why dont we go find ourselves a free Gunpla battle table to play a couple of matches? You must be eager to see how your Heavy arms controls like." There was a local arcade a few blocks away from their house which had a couple of holographic tables for Gunpla battle. " Of course i'll have to put some jeans before heading out." Right now the clothes she was wearing where meant to be comfortable to wear around the house, not the set up she'd like to wear in public.

Within ten minutes Misaki was done cleaning the bowls, getting drressed up and brushing her teeth. Their home work could wait and knowing their mothers sleeping pattern the two of them would be back relatively early, hopefully before their father arrived that late afternoon. Since Minako didnt have a case of her own her sister made some room for the Gundam she'd just crafted in the same container where she kept the ReGZ. " lets go." Misaki also had an extra GP base laying around which she was quito content on providing to Minako to complete the set up.

"Yeah, let's go!" Minako certainly was feeling eager to test out the Heavyarms and not only that but was feeling strangely confident in herself. This would also of course be first time battling with a Gunpla of her own so she was excited for that too. "Of course.. I should probably get changed too." she had forgotten until now that she was still in her uniform.

Ten minutes later she had finally gotten changed out of her uniform and into a comfortable tank top and jeans and was raring to go. She needed to remember to get her own stuff at some point but luckily Misaki had extra room in the container where she kept her ReGZ and also had an extra GP base laying around so for now it was all good.

"Let's go, let's go! I am so ready for this!" she was lightly bouncing on her feet in front of the door after having got her shoes on, very clearly impatient to get the show on the road.

It was so comical to see that spontaneous reaction on her sister right now, Sure Mina was a spunky, energetic lass the majority of the time but this time she was bouncing with enthusiasm. it had been a quite a while since the last time she'd seen Minako so cheerful as evident on the way she strolled on the side walk as if she had rockets strapped on her feet. Within a few more minutes the siblings arrived at the arcade shop which as expected was busling with other kids and teenagers playing fighting games, light gun and other Vs titles on the cabinets.

The holographic tables as expected ran on loose change as opposed to the free ones they could find at G-muse and their clubroom this was after all a private owned establishment. Misaki had plenty of spare change so after putting the coins in each slot the machine was ready to go.

" I'll keep the damage level to a minimum. I dont want to break a kit we just put together." Now that the damage levels where set and the match parameters ready for a one on one duel Misaki placed her REGZ on the GP base. the map selection was set at random so anything was possible from here on out. Unlike other fighters Misaki didnt like to announce when her Gunpla was launching off the virtual catapult, that was needless fanfare as the camouflaged machine sporting the colors of the extinct German Democratic Republic was catapulted forward.

Minako was practically bouncing down the street as they walked. She was getting more and more excited the closer they got, her first battle with her very own Gunpla was going to be against her big sister and that was part of what made her so cheerful, the other part was that they were getting to spend time together regardless of the circumstance.

Soon enough they arrived, the place as expected was bustling with activity but she ignored it as best she could, only focused on one thing as they approached the holographic tables which were soon up and ready to go thanks to Misaki thinking to carry spare change on her.

She nodded and took a deep breath, calming herself as she placed her Heavyarms on the GP base. She knew that she had to be as calm as she could going into battle so that there would be no room for mistakes. She was determined to give this her all even if it was her first actual battle. "Alright, let's do this."

The field before the girls was a densely forested landscape with a few rolling hills over looking the edges of the area. The trees obstructed the view ahead for miles and while it was lush the grey sky and deadly silence made the dense vegetation look like something out of a horror movie. The head unit of the REGZ barely stayed on top of the tree tops and upon arriving she had to holster the beam rifle in order to reach out for a beam saber in order to make enough move to venture further without having to walk over knocking the vegetation down by bumping into it.

With wide horizontal slashes the now Grey mobile suit made its way trough a hollow near the spawn point. its blazing, yellow saber knocking down the decrepit vegetation with every step it made. Surely stealth was important but seing what laid ahead was even more so. Since the maps where generated at random it was impossible to memorize the vantage positions, in the meantime she would keep advancing with a steady step not really worried about Minako overall performance.

This was her sister first battle so she would take it easy and taught her as much as she could.
