Chance

[Sakurai Honoka]

Sakurai smiled back. She then looked at Shinya's FAITH pin. "That pin is amazing. That means you must have done something heroic to an honor like that," she said.

[Akitsuki Yamato]

Shinya looked at his pin and then back at Sakurai. "Anyone could have gotten this pin. All I did was step in to save the Chairwoman, during the assination attempt." he replied.

"Oh do you want to look closely," he said to her.

[Sakurai Honoka]

Sakurai moved closely towards Shinya. She wasn't use to being so close, but she looked closely at the pin. When she moved a little closer, she stumbled and her head landed on Shinya's chest while her hands gripped his waist. She looked at Shinya, but quickly looked away blushed.

[Akitsuki Yamato]

Without hesistation Shinya wrapped his arms around Sakurai preventing her from falling, but he as soon as he stopped her he too, was looking at Sakurai.

[Sakura Hatashi]

A message from the Minerva came on the viewing screen. Sakura was surprised to see Shinya and Sakurai in the cockpit of Epyon together.

"Sh---The Kaguya Mass Driver is being attacked. Yamata-Taicho wants Sakurai to back up the defensive ORB forces. Shinya, he needs your help too," she said as she ended the transmission.

[Sakurai Honoka]

Sakurai was surprised to see Sakura appear on the viewing screen. She blushed as she noticed her arms was still around Shinya.

[Akitsuki Yamato]

Shinya smiled. "I guess we'll have to take a rain check on this "date" he said. He then started to boot up the O.S. "I'll meet you at Kaguya Mass Driver," he said as he was making the final modifications on his system's O.S.

[Sakurai Honoka]

Sakurai nodded as she the cable lowered her to the ground. While she was being lowered she thought she was about to kiss him, but she quickly shook the feeling off as it was time to prepare for another battle at Orb. Once she reached the ground, she ran towards her mobile suit. Neither Shinya or Sakurai was dressed in their mobile suit uniform. She arrived in Vent Savior's cockpit and started up the O.S.

She opened a comm-link to Shinya's mobile suit. "Shinya are you there?" she said.

[Akitsuki Yamato]

Shinya replied to the message and responded. "I'm heading out Sakurai. Cover me," he said as the Epyon took to the sky.

[Sakurai Honoka]

"Understood Shinya," said Sakurai as the Vent Savior took off and transform to its mobile armor mode following Shinya. Both headed to the Kaguya Mass Driver.
