Yuuka couldn't help but let out a quiet sigh, it was a weekend, sunday specifically, yet Yuuka had been called in for one of her part time jobs. The particular job was actually one of her favorites, it being a job at a local hobby shop. They had everything, ranging from models to games to even more simplistic hobbies. Still though she couldn't help but feel a bit irritated that she had been called in on what was supposed to be her day off. The cashier had called in sick though and they couldn't find any other replacements so she felt as if she couldn't really refuse.. and at least the money was good, kind of. Currently though there were a lack of customers aside from a few browsers dotted around the store and she was drumming her fingers against the front counter, her other hand resting on her cheek as she let out another sigh. She hadn't served a single customer in what seemed like hours and she felt as if she was going to give into boredom if something interesting didn't happen soon. |

Alex's hand gripped the strap of his backpack that was hanging around his left shoulder. He walked into the shop with a smile, pulling the sunglasses off of his face. Looking to the female at the counter and stepping toward her. Leaning his right arm on the counter he looked over Yuuka, speaking in American English. "Excuse me Miss, could you tell me if you carry anything Gunpla related?". After speaking, he gave her a wink and then stood up straight with a bit of surprise. "Oh I said that in English.." he would repeat in a bit of rough Japanese. "I'm sorry, I forgot I wasn't speaking Japanese." he chuckled at the statement and looked at her. "Could you direct me to the Gunpla section? I'm looking for kits and supplies." he said, then gave her another wink. "If that isn't too much trouble, Beautiful." he added the compliment. |

"Hmm?" Yuuka looked up in surprise as someone actually approached the counter and spoke, the owner of the voice being a boy, a really cute boy at that. Judging from his accent she had to assume that he wasn't a native, likely American from the looks of him. She had actually understood his english perfectly, her parents having drilled it into her in case she ever ended up needing it, and being American herself it actually hadn't been all that hard. Still though she couldn't help but giggle at the way that he corrected himself into speaking Japanese. Unknown to her though a light blush had formed on her cheeks at the mention of her being beautiful, a blush that only intensified as she fully realized the compliment. "U.. uh.. the Gunpla section? Follow me and I'll take you there." she spoke with her usual stutter. She couldn't believe that she was acting this way from a single compliment but then again it was something that she was entirely unused to. "S..s..so you're into Gunpla too?" she asked, attempting to clear her mind as she emerged from behind the counter and began leading Alex through the store. |

The giggle made Alex blush and scratch his cheek. He followed her though when she moved toward the section. "Yes I am.." he answered with a proud tone and a grin. Alex hefted the backpack on his shoulder as he kept walking. "I've been in a few battles lately, and I think it might be time for a new Gunpla project." He stated. "How about you?" he asked her, leaning his head to the left of her's to see her face. Not really paying attention to that whole space between people thing. "Are you into Gunpla yourself?" he asked her with curious eyes. |

Yuuka slowly nodded, pleased to have met another Gunpla enthusiast. "Yeah, I am." she answered, her shyness from before gone for the moment. If there was one thing that could get her past her shyness it was talking about her hobby, Truthfully though she was a bit nervous from how close he was, as evident by the still very present blush on her cheeks. Jeez, she had barely known this guy for a few minutes and she was already putty. "I've been in a few battles but I'm not very good at them. I'm much better at building." she quietly added in with another blush, though not quite sure why she would be saying something so embarrassing like that. Soon enough they arrived at the section that they were looking for and she turned towards Alex, giving him a small smile. "Well here we are. Oh by the way, I'm Yuuka. Yuuka Mahiro, 19 year old first year University student." |

Alex smiled and stood up hearing her answer. "Always fun, Gunpla brings together the hearts and minds of people doesn't it?" he snickered. "I'm sure you do just great at battles. But being a good builder is pretty important." he smiled at her. He stopped once they got to the section and he gave it a quick once over, then looked to her. "Thanks for showing me, Heh." he rubbed his neck getting a good look at her when she faced him. "A pleasure to meet you, I'm Alex Knight just moved here from America to study a month ago." he would then lean toward her. "A university student eh? You wouldn't happen to be apart of a Gunpla club too would you?" he was curious to see if things in Japan worked the same as America with clubs and Gunpla. |

"It's nice to meet you Alex. So you're american huh? My parents tell me that I was born there but I've lived in Japan pretty much my whole life so I don't really remember much about it." she spoke, her nervousness all but forgotten at this point. Though she couldn't help but tilt her head at his question about whether or not she was in a club. "Yes I am actually, I'm an honorary member of a Gunpla club based in Torrington Girl's Academy. I attend Osaka U though." she answered after a moment of silence. He was certainly a curious one but that was alright, she was bored enough to indulge him.. plus there was something else driving her to be an open book, something that she didn't quite realize at the moment. "What about you? Are you a part of any clubs?" she was curious herself about this boy, though she was counting it towards the fact that it was an opportunity to actually make a friend of her own age, though she definitely enjoyed spending time with the younger girls. And actually.. come to think of it Alex was the first male friend that she would even have, other than Reza who she had barely even spoken to, so there was definitely no way that she was about to screw this up. |

"I've lived in America most my live, once I finished school I decided to travel around." he started looking through the shelves. "Wanted to come to the home of Gunpla to learn more about it." he pulled out box after box, looking them over with a smile. "Torrington? Interesting name, reminds me of Torrington Base from Gundam 0083. Do you all wear cute Earth Federation outfits with mini skirts?" he turned to her, with a teasing tone. "Should I call you Ensign Mahiro?" he was just being silly at this point. The Gundam nerd in him clearly showing to the younger girl he was talking to. With a somewhat silly smile, he would turn and slip the box back onto the shelve and start searching again. "I haven't found a club or anything yet, just go to work and then spend my free time searching for more Gunpla related stuff. Well I do play games, read manga, watch anime, meet up with a few friends I've made in the last month." he spoke as he pulled out a second box, giving it a once over. |

Yuuka couldn't help but giggle at his remarks. He was such a nerd but she really didn't mind, somehow it even made him cuter. "You would just love that now wouldn't you?" a hint of playfulness present in her tone and her head tilted ever so slightly to the side as she spoke. Still though she couldn't hide the embarrassed blush that had come to her cheeks at the thought of being dressed up as an Earth Federation soldier with a mini skirt and being called Ensign Mahiro. She found though that despite the thought being incredibly embarrassing for once she had actually managed to get past the embarrassment and speak without stuttering or otherwise showing it, except for the blushing. Somehow.. somehow it seemed as within just a few minutes this boy had broken most of her usual mannerisms, it was very strange to say the least. Smiling she quickly glanced over towards one of her coworkers who seemed to realize the situation just by watching the two and took her place at the counter. Good, now she was free to talk to Alex without worrying about her job for the moment. She was officially on break. She turned her attention back towards Alex, listening to him speak with her full attention. "You should join a club, it's a lot of fun. Heck, maybe I could even get you into mine with a bit of 'convincing'." she responded with a wink and that same playful tone from a few moments ago followed by a light, bell-like laugh. She was definitely having a lot of fun though not acting quite like herself and she wasn't entirely sure why. |

Alex got a bit of a surprised look, stunned even at her forwardness to him. A bit of a blush on his face since now he was thinking about it. "Maybe I would!" he told her a little nervous and would turn around back to his shelve searching. "Maybe if I beat you in a battle, you could dress up for a day." he spoke quietly about the idea. He slid the second box on the shelve and pulled out a third with a smile. Looks like he found something of interest, a kit he didn't think he would find. His nervous feelings dissipating as he focused on the Gunpla again. Turning with the kit in hand, he looked at he with a tilt of his head at her comment. "If you mean by me dressing up like a girl?" he leaned forward and gave a grin. "I can't pull off the beautiful young lady look like you can." he told her and chuckled. "Plus, I'd feel uncomfortable, a guy dressed up like a girl around a bunch of girls?" he visibly shakes at he thought. "Nope couldn't do it..no way." he was shaking his head. "I wouldn't even know what to talk about, girls are a mystery of the universe men will never understand." he made the deep statement. Looking down at the kit he smiled. "Well I found something I was looking for." he was inspecting the box. "The MSA-0012 S Gundam, Prototype Transformable Mobile Suit." he said, as he started to suck back into nerd mode a little. "I tend to stick to Universal Century Earth Federation gunpla, how about yourself?" he asked her, curiously watching her now. Edited by Arithion Ashvor, May 13 2015, 04:30 AM.

"Hmm?" She looked over him, her head tilted slightly to the side as she silently studied him. "I dunno, a wig and a bit of makeup with the right outfit can do wonders." she almost absentmindedly said, now convinced that he would make a pretty girl with a bit of work. "And the girls are actually gunpla enthusiasts like you and I so there's an entire conversation topic right there." of course she wasn't trying to convince him but she wanted to get the point across anyways. Though maybe.. maybe I could challenge him to a battle and get to dress him up if I win. she thought to herself at the same time. That could wait until later though, for now it seemed that he was starting to get back into nerd mode as she watched him pick through kits. So he was a UC buff huh? That wasn't entirely surprising, she actually enjoyed it herself. "Ah, I'm actually a fan of the Universal Century myself but my main Gunpla is actually from SEED. The GAT-01 Strike Dagger is my choice of Gunpla, having been the best thing that had come out of SEED. It's just such a beautiful suit for being a grunt." was her reply. They were both showing their inner nerds now and Yuuka wasn't even going to try to hide it. |

Alex was shaking his head several times, her ideas sounded most silly to him. "You are being just silly! Besides, I already met one nasty girl. I'd rather not risk meeting more." he said, giving a brief description of his encounter when he was Matteo. "Yeah my friend Matteo and I met her and her friend at a store, I made a joke about going on a date with this girl if I won a battle with her." his description might remind her of one of her friends, Alex didn't know her name. He only knew what she looked like, and her generally angry attitude towards men. He signed as the story and smiled at Yuuka. "I would much prefer to be around cute and nice girls like yourself." he said without really thinking about how it might affect her. "Ah the Strike Dagger, the distant cousin to the GM or well.." he tapped his chin. "More like brother from another mother I guess. I like the design of it, just prefer the Universal Century GM over it though." he smiled looked at the kit. "I actually use a RGM-79Q GM Quel right now, yes I know its a Titan's mobile suit." he looked at her, expecting a shocking gasp. Why would such a nice guy use such a Gunpla related to the evil Titans? "I could fully explain it to you, but then you might get in trouble for not working." he teased her with a smile. |

Yuuka tilted her head once more, a bit puzzled at Alex's remarks. Could he have been talking about Misaki? She vaguely knew that the younger girl hated men but she had also never really seen how she acted around them so she wasn't quite sure how bad it was. She would need to remember to ask him to tell her what the girl had looked like later and then if the general description matched up she would probably talk to Misaki about it. It seemed as if his other comment had gone unnoticed but she simply hadn't quite realized what it was that he had been saying. Now that her mind was clear to think about it though.. she suddenly fiercely blushed, all of her nervousness coming back in one fell swoop. She had never really had any experience with this so she wasn't entirely sure how to deal with a cute boy like him saying things like that. "N..n..n.. no I'm really not cute or nice. I'm just much too shy and timid." Luckily though there was another conversation at hand and she found herself able to calm down and relax as he made a response towards what she had said about her choice of Gunpla. And.. he was using a GM Quel? She hadn't particularly cared much for Zeta but she remembered it being a Titan suit. It was a nice machine but it surprised her as he had just said that he preferred the Earth Federation. He also seemed to realize the contradiction, which caused her to lightly giggle. "Don't worry, someone's covering for me so I'm on break right now. Now, would you mind explaining why an Earth Federation junkie is using a Titan suit? I'm just dying to know." she spoke with that playful tone from earlier having returned and her head tilted slightly to the side. |

Alex smiled at Yuuka. "Nothing wrong with shy and timid girls." he told her. She really was quite cute with her reactions to what he was saying. He blushed a little when she giggled at him again. "Well good you got someone to cover, I didn't want to get you in trouble." he said. He got a guilty look on his face when she asked about the Titan's mobile suit he mentioned. "Well, I built a RGM-79N GM Custom further back and after looking at the GM Quel." he spoke rubbing his neck. Her playful tone made him think he had done something wrong and Yuuka was about to scold him for it! "Its a nice machine, that is pretty much a remodeled GM Quel with more technology and built for mass production." he looked at her, waiting to see how she would answer. |

Yuuka couldn't help but give him a playful smile as he answered her question. He almost seemed as if he had expected her to scold him and if that was the case then he was kind of right, though also kind of wrong. "The GM Quel is a pretty nice machine. Though I can't believe you would betray the Federation like that. Or are you maybe some kind of double agent pretending to work for the enemy?" she spoke playfully, lacing her fingers together behind her back and leaning slightly forward while standing on her tiptoes so they were face to face, or almost. Even on the very tips of her toes she barely came face to face with him and for once she regretted being so short. Either way though she was definitely having fun with this and she didn't even care that she wasn't acting much like her normal self. She didn't even care that they were so close, she just.. felt strange. |

Brushing his hair back, Alex leaned forward toward Yuuka. He lowered his voice, replying to her in a playful tone. "Maybe I just wanted to be a bad boy for once? I heard the ladies like bad boys." he gave her a smirk and stood back up. "I also don't dislike the Titans, after reading the manga and watching the anime I sort of feel for them." he was telling her with a smile. "So maybe I just like blowing up the evil colony dropping Zeons?" he was being silly again. He looked down at the kit he was holding onto, inspecting the pictures. "This will by my first actual Gundam, Gunpla." he said and chuckled. "Going to take my time with it, make sure it turns out right." he then looked at Yuuka. "You have a Strike Dagger, working on any other Gunpla on the side?" he asked her. |

Yuuka took a couple steps back, still playfully smiling at him with her hands behind her back. A part of her hadn't expected this and was glad that he was playing along. Though she couldn't resisting giggling at his 'bad boy' comment. He really didn't seem like he could pull off being a bad boy if he tried. "Well you heard right, we ladies do enjoy our bad boys from time to time." she responded, deciding to play along anyways, just because she was having fun. In fact she was having so much fun that she was almost disappointed when the conversation turned back to normal, or 'normal' at least. "Not yet, I'm actually still working on fully customizing my Strike Dagger and I want to finish that before I start working on anything new." she answered while shaking her head. The Dagger really did need a lot of work yet so she actually couldn't afford to start working on a new Gunpla, at least not without better paying jobs. "I would be happy to oblige you with a battle sometime if you would like to see it in action though. I'd love to see your GM Quel." she was speaking the truth but it was also an excuse to get to hang out with him again after they parted ways here. "Maybe we could even make it a bit more interesting.." she added, mostly speaking to herself, as an afterthought. |

Alex smiled and nodded as he was told about her Strike Dagger project. "Maybe you should look into the Slaughter Dagger." he gave her a wink. "I'll convert you into a bad girl. Get you to use Blue Cosmos mobile suits." he grinned at the comment. He watched her as she backed up and a light blush returned when what she said about bad boys came back. "So you like bad boys huh?" he looked away and scratched his cheek. He was trying to act like a bad boy, but really he wasn't exactly good at it! "A battle, yeah that would be fun..but I may not go easy on you. I'm a real bad boy after all." his playful tone returned and he looked at her, the smirk back. "If I win I'll have you dress up a Titan's uniform for the day, then I'll go grab mine and we can go on a date. How about that?" he pointed at her. Letting the bold statement sink in as he was sizing her up. "I think you would look great in a Titan's uniform." he nodded and gripped his chin. "I want to go for it!" he sounded a bit excited, the prospect of a battle and maybe snagging this cute girl for a date both very good in his mind. Edited by Arithion Ashvor, May 13 2015, 02:49 PM.

Yuuka couldn't help but blush yet again at the challenge that Alex was issuing. She had to admit that the prospect of a date with him was pleasing in her mind though it was also incredibly embarrassing. It would be the first time that she went out with a boy, and such a cute one at that, not to mention she had been caught a bit off guard by his sudden boldness. Still though.. she had an idea from this, and it would still result in them being able to hang out afterwards. "Alright, you have a deal. If I win though I get to dress you up as a girl and you have to act the part. And just as a warning I won't be going easy either." she responded with a teasing tone and a smirk. Either way no matter who lost they would still get to hang out together and she was happy with that. She just hoped that he would accept her terms. |

Alex looked away with a blush, then turn to Yuuka. His right hand held out toward her with a pinky extended. "Its a promise then, to abide by the rules win or lose." he smiled at her. "I accept the terms." he waited there for her to reply. It might seem kiddy, but sometimes the simply kid stuff was the best way to be sure. "You just tell me when and where, I'll be there." he told her. |
