Part One: Moving Day
Sara flipped her long, auburn hair out of her way and picked up another box. Glancing up, she sighed at the amount of boxes still in the truck. At the rate they were moving, it would take them most of the day just to get the truck unloaded.
Walking out of the truck, she stuck her tongue out at Lissa, her roommate. Lissa smiled at her and went to grab another box from the truck. Bending down, she laughed to herself as her braids fell over her shoulders. They looked mostly normal today. Her long, brunette locks were tamed into three braids on the sides and back of her head.
Lissa bolted upright as sharp pain afflicted her ass. She looked back and down, noticing the hair elastic lying innocently on the floor of the truck. Movement from the house caught her eye and she glanced up.
Sara smiled evilly and picked the box she'd placed on the steps back up. Lissa shrugged and picked up the hair elastic.
Her braids fell over her shoulders again and she knew why Sara had given her the elastic. She pulled the three braids together and wrapped the elastic around them, making a bulky ponytail.
Looking down at the boxes around her, she got back to work.
Heero looked around the room and sighed. All the other pilots had gone shopping. They had, of course, invited him, but there was nothing he hated more than shopping.
He looked out the window and saw the rented moving van.
"Looks like we have new neighbors." He shook his head at himself. He was becoming more like Duo everyday by talking to himself. He decided to go out and meet the new neighbors to relieve his boredom.
He saw movement in the back of the truck as he walked out his front door, so he moved towards it and froze.
He was close enough to see a few details of the person in the truck. A thick brown braid hung down to the person's hips.
"Duo..." Heero breathed the name of the one person he knew with hair that long.
The person swung around with a gasp and Heero knew it was definitely not Duo.
He looked the girl up and down. She was taller than most girls he knew, maybe 5'6" at least. She was slender, yet well-endowed. Her dark brown hair seemed to perfectly compliment her eyes. They were aqua in color, with a thin band of orange ringing her pupils. One eye was partially obscured by a swoop of bangs that were angled, on side just barely brushing the corner of her mouth, the other reaching only to her nose. Her dark jeans were molded to her body and her red t-shirt said 'One sake, two sake, three sake, floor.' in black letters. He knew without a doubt that Duo would be interested in her and his heart sank.
Lissa looked at the boy who had startled her. He was small, but muscular. His brown, tousled hair fell over his deep blue eyes enticingly. One corner of her mouth lifted. At least she now knew that this town would not be as boring as the last one they had been to. She wished Sara could be out here to meet him and contemplated calling out to her, but that would be a little too obvious. Sara had to come back out anyway, since they had to get this truck unloaded and returned before seven.
"Hi, I'm Lissa. I'm guessing you're one of our neighbors?" She smiled at the boy, seeing the startled look in his eyes. She had pulled him out of deep thought and she wondered what it had been about.
Lissa saw Sara approaching from the house, but decided to let her surprise the boy in front of her.
"Yes, I am one of your neighbors. My name is Heero Yuy." The boy's voice was monotone, almost causing Lissa to close her eyes. It was the voice of a teacher, a boring, lecturing teacher.
"Heero. That's a nice name." Sara walked up from behind the boy as she said this. Surprisingly, he didn't even flinch at the sound of her voice. Sara held out her hand. "I'm Sara."
Heero looked the new girl over and sighed. She wasn't as well-endowed as Lissa, but she was just as slender. Her hair was thick, auburn, and pulled back in a ponytail, so he couldn't tell how long it was until she turned around. Her eyes were a strange brown color that held flecks of green and gold. While Lissa had a delicate, elfin look about her, Sara had a stronger appearance, muscles evident in her arms. Her light blue jeans were baggy and her camouflage t-shirt, also baggy, said 'Haha, now you can't see me.' His heart sank even more as he realized both girls would attract Duo's attention.
"Why do you look so gloomy all of a sudden?" Lissa reached out a hand to Heero and put it on his shoulder.
"I'm fine." Heero glared at her until her hand fell off his shoulder.
"Whoa, boy, calm down. You just looked glum and she's a sympathetic person. We just met; you don't want to leave us with a bad first impression." Sara's eyes flashed dangerously as she looked at him.
"Sorry." Heero turned and was about to walk back to his house when Lissa's voice stopped him.
"As long as you're here and you need to leave us with a better impression than the one you just gave, you can help us."
"Nani?" Heero's voice held a note of confusion.
Sara bent down and picked up a box. Dumping it in Heero's arms, she picked up another box and started walking.
Heero stood there dumbly for a few seconds until he realized that they needed his help to finish faster. He turned and walked after Sara, knowing that she would direct his as to where to put the box.
Staring ahead, he noticed Sara's ponytail. Before he had met these two girls, he had never met anyone except Duo with hair that long. Suddenly, he knew three. Sara's hair fell down past her hips, brushing her thighs as she walked. It was thick and luxurious, with natural blond and brown highlights throughout its mass.
Lissa smirked and watched his back as he walked after Sara. He had a very nice ass, one she wouldn't mind seeing more often, despite his attitude.
Sara grimaced, knowing they were already off to a bad start with one of their neighbors. She wished it could have been better, but Heero seemed determined to make their first impression a bad one. She led him through the house to the room they would eventually turn into a dining room and placed her box down.
Heero followed suite and immediately went back out to the truck. As he was climbing back out of the truck, he saw Quatre's SUV barreling down the road. He sighed. Duo had to be driving. He was the only one of the gundam pilots who drove so recklessly. The SUV screeched to a halt next to the moving truck and Duo hopped out of the driver's side door.
"Oi, Heero, what are you doing?" Duo bounced over to Heero, his braid waving like a flag behind him.
"Hn." Heero moved past Duo and into the house.
"Oh, okay. I understand. You're helping our new neighbors move in, aren't you?" Duo bounced onto the truck and saw Lissa and Sara. "Hi, I'm Duo Maxwell." He shook the closest girl's hand, the one with the red hair and smiled.
"I'm Sara and this is my roommate, Lissa." She smiled at him, feeling welcomed by his attitude. He reminded her of Lissa.
Duo's eyes roamed freely over the two girls. They were both pretty and he definitely wanted to be friend's with them. They had already made the acquaintance of Heero and weren't crying, so that had to mean something.
Sara looked over the boy in front of her and her smiled widened. This boy seemed to know Heero, but he seemed much more likable. She had noticed the braid hanging down his back that somehow added to his masculinity, instead of detracting from it. He was wearing tight, black pants and a shirt that matched his eyes. They were blue, an odd, vibrant shade, bordering a violet. He didn't seem as muscular as Heero, but he was wiry. She looked back into his eyes and saw him watching her with a smile on his face.
"So, do you need more help with the unloading process?" Duo's voice was bright and cheerful, compared to Heero's monotone.
"We could definitely use some help. We have to get this truck back to the rental garage by seven and it's already…" Sara trailed off as she looked at her watch, "three." She smiled at him and turned back to grabbing more boxes.
Duo flipped around and started towards the SUV again. Lissa watched him go, focusing on his ass as he walked. It was slightly bigger than Heero's, but no less appetizing. She heaved as sigh when she realized he was probably not going to help. What other reason would he be going back to the car? She picked up yet another box, sad to see Duo go.
Sara saw Lissa heave a sigh and caught sight of Duo walking away. She knew what Lissa was thinking, but Sara could just barely see human shapes beyond the tinted glass windows of the SUV. Hopefully, Duo was not leaving, but going to grab extra sets of hands to help unload the truck.
"Okay, guys. Time to meet the new neighbors. I've already offered your services up for the day. We're going to help them move in!" Quatre winced as Duo's high pitched voice got closer.
"Mattaku no baka. Maxwell, why must you always offer our services before you consult us?" Wufei ranted from the back seat.
"Because, dear Wuffie, these girls need our help and we're the nice next door neighbors." Duo smiled sweetly through the passenger side window at Wufei.
"ONNAS! I refuse." Wufei crossed his arms over his chest and pouted.
Trowa rolled his eyes and opened his door, stepping out into the sun.
Sara and Lissa both looked up in time to see Duo hanging inside a window to the SUV with his ass sticking up in the air and a door on the car open, revealing a tall, handsome brunette. He was thin, almost painfully so, and lithe. His tight jeans accentuated his utter lack of an ass. The grey tank top he was wearing displayed the muscles in his arms perfectly and complimented his emerald green eyes.
The two girls looked at each other and almost fainted when another door to the SUV opened. This time, it revealed a small blonde, with such clear blue eyes, they seemed to glow. His khakis, which would have looked dressy on any other person, looked casual on him. The pale pink t-shirt he wore seemed to fit his personality perfectly. He looked towards them and waved, smiling brightly.
The last man to slide from the car was the final straw for the girls. They leaned against the nearest box and watched as he grumpily made his was over. The slightly baggy white pants and shirt that should have hid his wiry build only helped to display it. His eyes, which were so dark they looked black, flashed at the two girls. His thick, black hair was pulled back into a severe ponytail, emphasizing the angles of his face. He was obviously of Chinese descent.
Sara looked at Lissa and sat on the box behind her. Heero came out of the house at that exact moment and the five boys walked over to the back of the moving truck.
Lissa felt someone staring at her and looked at Sara, sharing a look that said everything. 'Aren't we lucky to live next door to so many hot guys?' Sara smiled and tried to control her hormones as she looked back at the boys.
Duo bounced up into the truck to perform the introductions. He wondered why the girl named Sara had felt the need to sit down, but he kept that question to himself. "Ok, introductions. The tall one is Trowa, the short one is Quatre, and the angry one is Wuffie." Duo smiled at the two girls.
"MAXWELL, MY NAME IS WUFEI!" The Chinese one scrambled up into the truck and was about to attack Duo when he jerked to a sudden halt. Looking back, he saw that Heero had wrapped his shirt around his fist, preventing him from reaching Duo. "Yuy, let me go!" Wufei struggled against his grip.
"Absolutely not. I won't allow you to hurt my partner, just in case a mission comes up." Heero growled.
"And here I thought you were getting all sappy on me, Heero. Just in case a mission comes up." Duo snorted and pouted.
"Right. Duo doesn't perform very good introductions. I'm Quatre Raberba Winner, this is Trowa Barton, and the one trying to attack Duo is Wufei Chang. I assume you've already met Heero Yuy and Duo Maxwell?" The small blonde went about the introductions more formally and thoroughly than Duo, but he seemed uncomfortable.
"You've assumed correctly. I'm Lissa and this is Sara." Lissa smiled and held her hand out to Quatre, who immediately took it and shook. Lissa was shocked by the strength behind his grip. He had seemed to be the smallest and weakest of them, but if he was, then that would mean that the others would be impossibly strong. Lissa shook her head slightly and tossed that assumption aside. They couldn't possibly be that strong.
"Do you all live with Heero?" Sara stood and walked forward as she said this, extending her hand to shake.
"Yes, we do. We've been friends for quite a few years." Quatre looked like he wasn't willing to talk about it, so Sara dropped the subject.
A new, quiet voice joined the conversation. "Would you like us to help you unload the truck?" Sara and Lissa both shivered as they heard Trowa's voice. They had nothing against the other boy's voices, but… They nodded when they realized they hadn't answered his question.
Quickly, almost mechanically, the five boys grabbed boxes and followed Heero into the house.
Lissa looked at Sara and sighed. "Um, did you notice something about Trowa's voice?"
Sara laughed. "Of course. He has the ultimate phone sex voice!"
The two girls collapsed into giggles and were rolling around on the floor of the truck.
This was how the five boys found them when they came back to grab more boxes.
"Um, what's so funny?" Duo looked at the two of them rolling around on the ground and couldn't help but smile. They were adorable.
"Nothing…just….inside jokes…" Sara gasped while laughing like a maniac.
Slowly, the two girls calmed down and got back to work.
An hour later, the truck was unloaded. Sara looked around in amazement. Even with all the help, she hadn't expected to be done until right before seven.
"Well, all that's left to be done for today is to bring the truck back to the rental garage. Hey, what were you guys planning on doing for dinner tonight?" Sara smiled as she looked at the boys.
Quatre, Wufei, Trowa, and Duo all looked expectantly at Heero, whose face went white.
"Heero, you didn't happen to get anything out for dinner, did you?" Duo couldn't help the smile that crept back to his face as he watched Heero.
"Hn." Heero turned away and headed back towards their house.
"Right. We don't have any plans because someone forgot to get something out." Duo turned back to Sara and Lissa, grinning like a maniac.
"Why don't we cook you dinner to thank you for all your help today? It's not a problem. We have to go to the store anyway, so we can just pick up more of what we were going to get." Sara saw Duo's face light up at the mention of food and almost started laughing.
"You're going to need quite a lot of food, especially if you plan on Duo coming to dinner." Wufei snarled slightly as he said this.
Sara and Lissa stared at each other in shock. Wufei had said something that didn't involve anger.
"Hey, that's not nice, Wu-man!" Duo said and jumped on Wufei's back.
The two grappled while the others looked on. Sara shook her head and searched through her pockets until she found the keys to the truck. She looked at Lissa. "You ready to go?"
"Yeah, I'll drive the car over and pick you up." Lissa pulled her keys out of her pocket and walked to the vivid purple 2005 Mustang GT.
Duo looked up from trying to prevent himself from being strangled by Wufei and waved.
"We'll be over when we see your car back in the driveway!" He shouted and went back to trying to get Wufei off of him.
Sara climbed into the truck and looked over her shoulder at the boys. 'Life around here won't be very quite, but at least it will be interesting,' she thought to herself as she watched Heero finally pull Wufei off Duo and walk back into their house.
She started the truck and pulled away, wondering how much food they would really need for dinner. She smacked her forehead with her hand, realizing that they hadn't asked the boys what they wanted for dinner. 'Guess they are just going to have to settle with whatever we end up cooking for them.' She drove off down the street, planning a gourmet meal like no other.
