A rift in the time-space continuum?

' Geez! Just where did I wind up in this time?!'

["This time" implies that Sheryl had dropped into unknown places on a constant basis. Ever since she left Exsilium, she somehow obtained a special dimensional travel vehicle that sent her into different locations and in various timelines. From the old west of the 17th century to World War II-era New York City, to even several new planets circa 2500.

The Galactic Fairy is living up to her name in more ways than one, it seems.

A quick glance around this futuristic area and she lets out a sigh of relief at the sights of technology reminiscent of the Frontier fleet. Folding her arms across her chest with a dignified huff, she begins her lengthy stroll across the new region.]

Well, at least this place looks trendy and high-tech. Much better than I thought it be. Okay, time to find a guide and have him show me around. There's no way that I, Sheryl Nome, will get lost.

[Speaking of tour guides, it seems that she has spotted one! Or at least someone's behind. Time to stride over with all the bravado a high-profile pop idol can muster, bright smiles and everything.]

Hey there! You're from this city, right? Why don't you be a dear and give me a quick tour? I promise you that it'll be worthwhile.

[ Being back home, Kira felt a lot more settled but with a war just around the horizon and he was still as gloomy-looking and serious as ever. He was looking at the war ships flying over the harbor of the city. It saddened to see them with the otherwise perfect sky.

However, he was a civilian now and he wanted to remain in a peaceful world without the Gundam. But would this world --- really be peaceful? There were promises of peace from every side, but if they all wanted the same thing why were those things still in the sky?

He was about to brood some more but was interrupted by Sheryl ...

... Sheryl Nome?

His eyes widened to the size of saucers. What was she doing here? They were not from the same universe at all. As far as he understood her story. Had he been wrong? But if she was an idol with that reputation, Lacus would have definitely have known her. ]

Ms. Sheryl? Wha--- what are you doing here?

[Perhaps it should've occurred to Sheryl that not all tour guides will be receptive to her greeting, much less if they're the brooding kind. Also that the chances of finding all-too-familiar faces will be high. Either way, she stops right in her tracks and gasps out loud, hearing that voice and seeing that mop of brown hair and purple eyes.]

Kira Yamato!

[This is an interesting turn of events...]

Wow, it's been so long since I've seen you!

[ Done feeling surprised, he smiled at her. When he returned here from the other world, he never expected to see the friends he made there again. But he was certainly glad to see the blonde again.

While the worries were still not far from his mind, it would be rude to burden an old friend with them. In the midst of all this conflict, it was nice to see at least one person smile. ]

Too long. I never thought we'd meet again. I did not think you were from our world.

I also see you have not changed.

[ Though it felt like it had been such a long time. She still looked as beautiful and vibrant as ever. ]

You'll be surprised on how I was able to arrive here. Ah, this is where you're from then?

[She looks around some more and laughs, flicking some of her hair off her shoulders boisterously.]

Of course I haven't, silly! No matter where I go, I'm still Sheryl.

[Time to glance up and down at the man before her, still keeping her bright smile intact.]

I'd say the same for you, of course.

[ Torii, who had been flying around had then returned and rested on Kira's shoulder. It seemed to watch Sheryl curiously at first, before flitting to the top of her head and resting there. ]

We should all be grateful for that. I can't imagine you being anyone else.

[ Knowing himself though, he wasn't sure if his being the same is a good thing or bad thing. But he supposed that Sheryl was paying him a compliment. ]

No. I haven't changed since I returned. At least ... I don't believe I have.

[ He hadn't changed, but his world quickly was and he felt powerless to do anything about it. ]

{ ooc: SORRY! JUST RETURNED FROM VACATION! }

Are you kidding? I'd never want to be anybody else but— oh! Why hi there.

[Sheryl takes immediate notice of the bird that's on top of her head and giggles, reaching out for it.]

I didn't know your place has cybernetic pets, too! But they're much cuter here than where I'm from.

You have them too?

[ He supposed that he probably shouldn't be surprised considering how advanced her world had seemed.

Torii seemed pleased with the compliment and flies unto her shoulder and stayed there. It amused Kira how easily his little friend's loyalty was swayed. ]

He is special to me. A friend gave him to me a long time ago. Since then, he rarely left my side ... except in the presence of a pretty girl it seems.

Nothing like this. The "pets" over at Galaxy have implants attached to their bodies. We can't really bring them over to other fleets thanks to some silly regulations.

[Anti-implant regulations in Frontier and other places, but Sheryl digresses. She lets out a soft coo at Torii, gently patting its head with her finger.]

Is that so? Your friend has good taste, Kira. [A small laugh.] He sounds like a Casanova, I'd be careful with those types!

Implants?

[ He couldn't recall ever talking about that before. Putting 'implants' on poor animals seemed a bit inhumane though. What did they implant? Microchips? That seemed the most likely, but why would such a thing be regulated? ]

What would they implant on pets?

Because if you have the tech to enhance a few traits or two, why not? From being able to run faster, to strengthening vocal cords, the possibilities are endless. A lot of people from Galaxy have implants, too.

[She shrugs, her tone shifting into a more serious one.]

I don't really care for them.

[ He suddenly becomes very quiet and his mood quite gloomy. Her world didn't seem so different from his it seems. Except in his world they were called Coordinators.

Realizing the serious direction of their conversation, he quickly decided to change the subject. ]

[ He smiled and offered an arm. ]

You were looking for a guide, weren't you. I might not be the most interesting company, but I can help you get settled if you like.

[Sheryl can't help but sigh in relief; that conversation was turning into a seriously gloomy one to her liking. Once she sees Kira offering his arm, she immediately sidles up to him, hooking her own arm around his with a playful smirk.]

Oho, you'll do just fine. You're already easy on the eyes, and I have a strong hunch that you'll take me to the best places. Right, Kira?

[>:)]

[ The best places? He might be able to at least try. He had very little idea what the best places were though, since he didn't get out a lot either and he doubted that army or naval bases and a historical tour would be her idea of fun.

Girls usually liked malls, didn't they? It would be like hitting two birds with one stone. She could have her fun and she could get a few things to help her get settled. ]

Maybe you'd like to get a few things first ... we can take the scenic route if you want.

[ He wanted to get away from this sight of war machines. ]

Scenic route? Oh, you mean where the beaches and parks are located, right?

[A sense of nostalgia flows through her as a fond smile appears on her face, remembering of the very first time Alto took her to the most beautiful spots in Frontier. Not a single chemical plant or factory in sight. A second later, she gently tugs him a bit.]

Take me to those spots already! I want to see them!

[Bring on the fresh air, green grass, and blue sea.]

As you wish.

[ He leads her towards his car, not without meeting a few Orb soldiers who were familiar with him as a veteran. They saluted before going on their way and Kira simply returned it.

Being the gentleman, he opened the door for her. ]

Thank you.

[Sheryl flashes Kira a smile of gratitude, then steps inside the car as she scoots over to where the windows are. The military men outside immediately catch her attention, which causes her to tilt her head to one side with a curious glance, delicately raising an eyebrow.]

What group do they belong to? I've never seen those uniforms before.

They are from the Orb forces.

[ He didn't say anything more than that. He didn't want to scare her by telling her that people were getting ready for war.

They sped away and began to ask her about her world. ]

What is the music like in your world?

Never heard of them.

[She simply gives them a cursory glance before perking up at the mention of music, then claps her hands together.]

It's incredible! Most of the time it's used for entertain every boy and girl across the galaxy, but sometimes it's used as a morale boost for soldiers. Pop music is all the rage, especially with me singing it.

I don't know much about music. I don't think I have much talent for it either. I only know how to listen to it.

But ... I would still like to hear it. I might be your first fan in this world.

[ They drove through a gorgeous beach. Because of the military presence, it was practically empty. Usually it was full of beach-goers and children. ]

Look to our left.

Anyone could listen to music, but only a few know how to sing it, to breathe life into it using your own voice.

[Don't mind Sheryl; she takes music very seriously; the seriousness dies out to be replaced by small laughter, however, and she grins playfully.]

Be prepared to wear a "Sheryl Nome's Number One Fan" T-shirt! I'll make sure you listen to every song in my discography.

[Said gorgeous beach immediately catches Sheryl's attention, and she looks at the sights like a child excited to go on a roller coaster ride.]

Aaah, this is amazing! The beach is so clean and beautiful, and you could see the sea from here!

[A brief pause.]

But wait, I don't see anyone. Oh, don't tell me it's closed!
