Justin Notes - The following Fanfiction is based on the events of Robotech: The Macross Saga. The story of the Macross Saga will be seen through the eyes of a Macross Island civilian. I wanted to tell a story of the Robotech War from a civilian’s point of view. The Fanfiction is told through journal entries from the civilian. In entry 5 Kenji tries to adjust to his new life abroad the SDF 1.

Alone.... that feeling of being of alone was something that I had to get used too. The love of my life is gone, my home was probably destroyed by the aliens. I have lost my only support system on this ship. Needless to say I was entering a severe depression. However life has a funny way to guiding you when you need guidance. Life on the ship started progressing. The citizens I must admit are the most resilient I have ever seen. It's like we never left home at all. The entire ship has been converted into our own Macross City. It's like we have never been attacked by the aliens at all. On the news today they finally found the two missing civilians. For some reason that made me very happy at least somebody is reunited with their loved ones. Writing this down is depressing me I think I will take a walk.

The walk around the neighborhood is just what I needed. Trying to remember everything that has happen on the SDF-1 is exhausting. While on my walk I encounter an old friend who help through some tough times. Some of you might know her as the biggest superstar to ever come out of Macross City. The one who's music turned the tide of the war. The one and only Lynn Minmei. I haven't seen Minmei in a very long time. It was nice to finally catch up with her, however she didn't look well. She looked heartbroken, she look like a woman who has lost a love. I remember that day I meant Minmei it was at her Chinese restaurant. I was feeling depressed after losing the support of Sakura and needed to clear my head. I decided that I needed something to eat and came across the restaurant. To my surprise it was karaoke night and I needed a good laugh. Something about people attempting to sing always cheered me up. I grabbed a seat and ordered some lo-mein and waited for the show to begin. Minmei approached the stage and welcomed everyone here.

Minmei: Thank you everybody and welcome to our restaurant. I've been working on this song for a long time now and I wanted to share it with all of you. I haven't finishing writing it fully yet, but I wanted to share the first verse. We have all been going through some tough times and I hope this can lift your spirits up. Let's start!

Minmei Sings: "

Life is only what we choose to make it. Let’s just take it, Let us be free. We can find the glory we all dream of. And with our love, we can win. Still, we must fight or face defeat. We must stand tall and not retreat. With our strength we’ll find the might. There’s no fight we can’t fight together, All together, We can win

."

That was the first time anyone of us heard Minmei sing. The first time We Will Win entered our ears. Just listening to that verse made me feel that everything will be alright. I knew right then and there I had to change. I had to transform who I' am now to what I would become.
