--Twin Stars: Prelude:

Shampoo woke up, turned around in the bed and watched the luminous digits of the bedside table’s clock. It was 6:43 am. She put aside the sheets grumbling, got up and approached slowly to the window walking barefoot by the cold metallic floor. Once there, she stayed looking by the window.

A vast dark veil, upholstered with countless bright diamonds scattered at random, spread at the other side.

Shampoo stretched her arm and covered a handful of these luminous points with her open hand.

‘It seems that I could get them only by stretching my arm.’ Shampoo thought, while she closed her hand in the air. ‘But I know that I can't get them. These little lights are stars; enormous spheres of hot gas, that are very far.’

She slowly lowered her arm and the stars appeared again in the same place. Shampoo sighed and went away from the window.

‘Some would say that to realize this is to be mature.’

Shampoo left these thoughts with a shake of her head, and went to the bathroom.

Shampoo was finishing dressing when she heard the buzzing of the intercom. She let it buzz while she tied her shoes. Finally, she pushed a button and the buzz ended.

“Yes?” Her tone of voice was clear, self-confident and calm; it was very different to the one that she used in Nerima, but these times were, literally, very far.

“Ma'am!” A male voice answered respectfully. “We’ve just contacted with the fleet of Rear-Admiral Akane Tendo.”

“All right! I'll head to the bridge right now.”

Without waiting for an answer Shampoo turned off the intercom.

The clock was precisely 6:59 A.M.

“She's punctual as ever.”

Shampoo smiled and went out of the room.

Tbc…
