Interesting... Of course, naturally there are suspicions about any girl Joe s interested in/involved with, given his past history. You just want to jump to the conclusion that this is a Devilstar, or perhaps even Katse herself. Regardless, I think there's more than meets the eye here. However, it seems unfinished... is there more to come, Amethyst?

No, to the best of my knowledge, it is complete. However, I'll ask the author to review it and if it is incomplete to email the rest to me. When I first read it, I understood it to leave the mystery about the trouble she might be.

Hmmm, quite the coincidence that she'd have a flat where there's "no one for miles" just as Joe is coming along -and she knows his name without being told. She also doesn't seem too annoyed about him having to leave the cafe early, like she's already accomplished a "stage 1" of some bigger plan. I'm inclined to think she's got "Galactor" or even "Devil Star" written all over her -this encounter has overtones of how Maya met Joe in ep. 70 and the Devil Star in ep. 31. But it seems the question is meant to remain -what if she doesn't? And will Joe show up at the cafe tomorrow? I'm betting he will!

I'm still trying to guess who wrote this for me... Not sure yet -might have to reread some people's work to see if I can pick up on some kind of give-away detail. Meanwhile, thank you! Whoever you are, you've created a classic femme fatale for Joe to meet!

I enjoyed this, but I definitely would like to know more...why am I imagining that she is an eccentric new Galactor Captain who is in charge of a Pomeranian dog mecha? LOL

I have enjoyed reading this, and I would also like to know more! But, I understand that the author might have left it open for the fun of guessing many possibilities, even if, for me, like for many others, Devilstar and Galactor is written all over the mysterious lady! But, who knows, there might be other explanations ... I so wish there were for poor Joe! It must be tiring for him to always end up in such complicated relationships!

Everyone keeps saying she's Galactor, but maybe she's not? Please, sir or ma'am, may I have some more?

I would enjoy seeing a future sequel ! It could even be that she's "legit," but is somehow aiding Galactor without being aware of it.

I agree, it just seem *too* obvious that she's Galactor. I'd love to see more, explaining her actions in a less questionable light! Hmmm... maybe she's a talent scout for NASCAR?

Just so many possibilities. She could be ISO, testing security measures. Nice little story. Author, I presume you meant to leave a mystery. Among this lot, that's a challenge. (And why do I imagine that Simone has color-coordinated accessories for her other outfits?)

This is great. I would love to think that she is just an ordinary damsel in distress and there is no hidden motive on her part. This is another story where I would love to see what happens upon their next meeting.

LB Prompt: A pic of the Condor in his car (civvy mode or transformed) -any medium. or I'm a sucker for episodes -and therefore fics- in which the Condor meets a girl who seems like trouble (though it could turn out to be otherwise). Any medium, though Gatch or BOTP preferred. or a fic that's set before the war starts, while the Team's still in training/still being brought together, featuring a first or early encounter between any two Team members. Any medium, though Gatch or BOTP preferred. Gift: Trouble by RIgirl

Thank you, RI Girl! I'd like to see more of Simone if you have ideas for what might follow this story -and I'd love to know if she's "good" or "evil" (and "evil" doesn't necessarily mean with "Galactor"...) And I understand you wrote for than one prompt? I hope we get to see more of your writing!

Thanks, lborgia! I'm glad that you and the others liked it. Not to get your hopes up, but there is quite a bit more to this story, and most of it is written already. As I didn't know how long would be considered too long (and I didn't want to bore anyone to tears!), I thought maybe short and sweet would be a better way to go. This explains why this seems unfinished. And yes, I did write up all three prompts, which I sent to Amethyst with the request that she pick the one that she thought the recipient would like best.
