It was around dinner time when Athena and Jace returned to the house. The kids were already eating, their small family growing bigger everyday. "Yui, why don't you serve the beautiful dessert you made?" Athena suggested and Yui went over to their fridge, taking out what appeared to be a cake. "For your first successful mission together!" Yui said, carefully placing the cake on the table. "What is it?" Miiko asked, looking at the beautifully decorated sponge covered in lavenous frosting. "It's strawberry shortcake!" Yui squeaked, suddenly shy with the appearance of Essie. Was it possible that Yui was already being replaced? "What's a strawberry?" It was a plant that Miiko had never heard of. "Oh, they're um, they're juicy and sweet. I saw a patch of them growing, so-so I wa-wanted to pi-pick them a-and ma-make cake!" It seemed her stutter returned when she was nervous. "Do you want some Rose?"
Miiko dug into her slice, her eyes lighting up when she tried it. "This is so good!" Miiko would have asked for seconds, but she was keeping in mind the fact that she had been called chubby and despite the fact that Rose denied it, Miiko was very much afraid of growing plump. "Miiko, your Mother and I would like to talk to you and Rose." Jace said, beckoning her towards their bedroom. Miiko stood nervously and took one last sip from her glass of water. She had changed into clean clothes since coming back, her wet ones hanging up to dry outside. Miiko took Rose's hand and squeezed it nervously, leading her to the bedroom her parents resided in. "Miiko, today, in short, was a disaster." Jace began, sitting on the edge of the neatly made bed. The bedroom was small and cozy, familiar and nostalgic in ways that would always make Miiko feel at home.
"We don't want you on the battlefield anymore." Miiko tensed, she had figured that this was coming. "I'm sorry sweetie," Athena said quietly. "But the truth of the fact is that you're small and quite frankly, a little bit slow." Miiko felt tears of shame burn in her eyes. It was just like Stella said, Miiko was a moron. "But-" Jace said quickly, "we have a different job for you and Rose." Jace handed Miiko a large file. "We need you to go undercover." Miiko blinked back her tears quickly and sniffled. "Under cover?" She hiccuped, trying to stop her crying. Miiko looked up at Rose, wondering what could possibly be written in there. "We need you to head into the belly of the beast, a mission that no one else could ever complete." Miiko felt her heart soar, this was exactly the kind of thing that she was meant to do! "What is it?" Miiko was growing excitedly.
"In Capitol City, there's a military school that our operative was recently caught at. This will entail a long term mission of recruiting Republic children to join the Yavenese fleet." Miiko could do that! She could definitely do something like that! "Of course, it won't be easy, you can't just outright state who you are and what you're doing there. You too Rose, you'll both be working together to subtly drop fliers, set up contacts, and help bring more people realize how corrupt the Republic is."
