Seven Inches From the Midday Sun
By: Lady Zero
~*~*~*~
Sally took a deep breath then sighed. Fighting to stay awake, she tapped a pencil on the desk.
It was another boring lecture Lady Une was giving to the Preventer staff. Again. It was the third one this week. This time it was about filling a complaint.
Sally rubbed her temples, trying to prevent to oncoming migraine. Not working. Knowing Lady Une, she was probably only halfway through her speech. Sally looked across the room and saw the Gundam pilots.
She inwardly groaned. Still, like statues. Well, except for Duo. Who was shifting his weight from one foot to another and annoying the hell out a Trowa, who was standing next to him. Heero stood next to Trowa. Quatre next to Heero and Wufei next to Quatre.
Wufei. The name haunted her like a curse. Somedays his image nor his name would leave her mind. She laughed at the idea that she might've become obsessed. But as far as obsessions go, she figured, they all wear out at some point. She would someday find someone else that she would obsess about. But until then, it was Wufei. It wasn't like she had a problem with the 19 year old Chinese man. Just the opposite. She liked him. Maybe a little too much. They had become partners 3 years ago. Then they got promotions and were separated. Sally was now Chief of medical staff and Wufei head of Internal affairs. Both were meaningless titles. Both meant: I'm important, so back off
The entrance of Relena Darlin, caught Sally's eye. Looking over in her direction, Sally saw that the young Vice Foreign Minister had caught Heero's eye too.
However, Lady Une had seen her as well.
"Vice Foreign Minister Darlin! I wasn't expecting you. Is there something you need?"
Everyone's gaze shifted to Relena. She smiled. "I was hoping to borrow you for a moment, Miss. Une, but I see that you're busy,"
Relena made eye contact with Sally. "May I borrow Miss Po, for a little while then?"
Lady Une nodded and continued her speech. Sally stood. She noticed that Relena and Heero made eye contact for a moment. Sally walked over to Relena and the two walked out.
"You saved me," Sally joked, wiping invisible sweat off her forehead. Relena smiled. "You all look like you're going to fall asleep in there. What's her lecture about today?"
"Filling a complaint."
"Ah, the feel good lecture of the year,"
"You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll beg her to lecture again"
Both women laughed.
"Actually, Sally, I was hoping I could talk to Lady Une, but since she's busy, I'll talk to you."
"We can go to my office,"
Sally led the way. The Preventer office had become quite familiar to her. She made a left then a right, then a left again, and a left once more.
Once in Sally's office, Relena sat down in one of the chairs parallel to Sally's desk, and Sally sat behind the desk.
"What's up?"
Relena folded her skirt and placed her hands on her lap. "I'm going to a conference overseas in America. I need someone from the Preventer staff to come with me. Lady Une will probably give a long speech and bore everyone to death. Noin is pregnant, so she probably shouldn't be traveling,"
"How's she doing?" Sally asked.
"She's fine. Except for her constant mood swings. It's hard to know she's my sweet sister in law one minute and a psyco the next."
Sally laughed. "Which is why I'm never going to get pregnant,"
Relena shot her a sly look. "You'll get pregnant someday."
Sally arched her eyebrows. "Sure, when Mr. Perfect comes along, and we all know that's no time soon..."
Relena smiled. "Well, join the club. I'm still searching too."
"What about Heero?"
The name, Sally noticed, brought a faint blush to Relena's cheeks.
"What about Wufei?" Relena countered
Sally looked away and Relena knew she hit a nerve. "I'm sorry Sally,"
"No, no it's all right," Sally waved the apology away with a wave of her hand.
"So, Sally like I was saying, I was hoping you could come with me to the conference. You wouldn't have to stay the whole time, you just stand there and tell them what the Preventer are doing to help Earth and the Colonies. It's a five minute deal."
"OK, I'm in."
Relena smiled warmly. "Before you take me up on the offer, I have to warn you, the conference in held in New Brunswick, and it's not too safe."
Sally studied the young woman. "Relena, the last time you went to a place like this-"
"-I was kidnapped. I know. Which is why, I'm taking a bodyguard, and you should too."
Sally nodded. "I'm in."
Relena smiled. "Thanks Sally, this means a lot to me."
"So do I get to pick my bodyguard, or is one chosen for me?"
"I guess you get to pick," Relena shrugged. "Mine was chosen for me."
"Who is it?"
"Heero."
"I should've guessed."
Relena smiled. "He is the best of the best," she sighed.
She saw the look Sally was giving her. "OK, So I'm not really complaining. I'll get you a good bodyguard, Sally, I promise."
"I'm trusting you, Relena."
"You won't be disappointed."
With that, she smiled and walked out, leaving Sally to wonder what the hell she just herself into.
~*~*~
Two days later, Sally found herself sitting on a one of Relena's private planes, over the Pacific ocean, sitting next to Wufei.
He stated boredly out the window.
"Why did I agree to this?" He asked turning to face her. "Could you tell me that again?"
"Because you're getting paid extra," Sally said, flipping through a magazine not even paying attention to him.
"Other than that,"
"You get to travel and see exotic North America," Sally said sarcastically.
Wufei sighed and looked out the window again. "That's the only reason I agreed to enter this never-ending hell?"
"If you're getting this pissed of because of a plane ride, I'd hate to see you if you had PMS and on a plane ride." Sally quipped.
Wufei glared. "Thank God I'll never have PMS."
"No, you already act like a total bitch once a month with out it"
"I'd hate to be stranded on a desert island with you." Wufei muttered.
~*~*~*~
An hour later, Sally had already fallen asleep. Wufei had fallen asleep as well.
However a sudden jerk woke the two up.
"What the hell was that?" Wufei exclaimed.
"Excuse me, passengers, we're hitting a bit of turbulence so if you could just fasten your seat belts and hold on tight for the time being." The intercom system rang. Sally sighed.
"Great," Wufei muttered.
This can't be turbulence.... Sally looked out of the window. "Shit....call the pilot," she muttered, tapping Wufei on the shoulder.
"you do it, you're a big girl now,"
"Wufei, call the damn pilot!"
Wufei sighed and grudgingly hit the "call" button. "Is there a problem?" the pilot's voice rang.
"Yes, there is,"
"Ma'am please calm down. It's just turbulence."
"Like hell it is! Someone's shooting at us!"
Wufei peered out the window closest to Sally. "My God," he muttered. In the distance he saw 12 Virgos speeding towards them. "Land the plane!" Wufei yelled into the intercom.
"Sir, we're over ocean, there's no place for me to land the plane!"
The Virgo's neared and Sally ran up to the pilot. "You got any parachutes?"
The pilot stared at her as if she spoke Chinese. "Parachute? In the middle of the ocean?"
"You got any?" Sally asked impatiently.
"No," the pilot said.
"Shit," Sally murmured and looked out of the window again. The Virgo's had surrounded the plane.
The plane jerked to the right as a Virgo hit the left wing.
"What the hell's happening?" Wufei shouted, coming into the cockpit.
"They must've shot the left wing, The plane's totally off balance!" Sally shouted above the sudden roar of the plane's engines.
"We're gonna crash!" the pilot said sinking into his chair. "I'm gonna die," he murmured.
Sally sighed and looked at the pilot who seemed to not care, then looked to Wufei. "You know how to pilot a plane?"
Wufei shook his head. "No, You?"
"No," Sally sighed. "We're screwed, then..."
"What do we do??????" the forgotten pilot screamed.
"We get out of the nose of the plane for starters," Wufei said taking Sally's hand and the pilots and taking them back to the cabin.
"Now what?" The nervous pilot asked, sweat dripping down his face.
"We wait."
