This is a co-written piece between Bloom of Tears (Blossom/Katrina) and Me
(Mogura). Check it out!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~
*~*~*~*
Mogura sat at her computer, chatting with her best friend and adopted sister Blossom, who happened to be at a friends house at that time. (Blossom and Mogura have the same internet thing, but Blossom's chatting on her friends AIM)
BlossomGurl: Whats up?
SugerBowl: nothin much u?
BlossomGurl: gotton n e new GW stuff?
SugerBowl: QUATRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's the site?
BlossomGurl: www.livebishie.net it's so awesome! I got tons of cute piccies of Duo and Heero there!
SugerBowl: one minute let me check it out.
Mogura clicked around and got a life sized pic of Quatre and printed it out.
BlossomGurl: u like it? I got life sized pix of Duo and Heero and I'm going to put them on both sides of my locker on Monday! ^.^ *on cloud nine*
SugerBowl: Kewl me 2! Especially since we get the nice long lockers this year. Remember when Mary stuffed herself into those short 7th grade lockers?
BlossomGurl: Yup I thought she was going to get hurt, not to mention a teacher would come by and stop her. I also thought Mark was going to shut it on her!
SugerBowl: What's with Mark any way he's not in our group we don't mix, remember that. Plus hes a player whos he with now? Don't try it and lose it all to him.
BlossomGurl: I dunno who hes w/ now. Probably Gabi again. But he's being really nice to me for sme odd reason. I no we don't mix, but he's really nice!
SugerBowl: G2G see u tomorrow come in early and we will paste our pix in the locker.
BlossomGurl: kk. Bring lots of tape!
-Sugerbowl has signed off-
The next day the girls met in the hall way of Watishima High School. Blossom's blonde pink highlighted hair was tied into a messy braid. While Mogura had her long black in a neat pony tail.
Mogura: Got my pix what about u?
Blossom: No I don't have it. I left it at Antares' house.
Mogura: Spare me the sarcasm my friend.
Blossom: ^.^ Sorry. It's my way of life. I live for sarcasm.
Mogura: Well let's paste and get back to the cafeteria. We have first period free!
Blossom: Thank god for that. Angelo will totally get on my nerves if I had French right now. But doesn't Mark have first period free too?
Mogura: *while taping Quatre pic to locker* didn't we talk about him, please look for a nice boy. but in OUR group.
Blossom: *rolls eyes and finishes taping Duo to locker* Like who? James, or what about that poseur Mike? Those are the only two boys in our group remember!
Mogura: *slams locker closed* Spare me the eyeball rolling. Now come on we're like sisters I don't want you with someone like Mark even if your 16. Duo is kewl don't you wish they were real? I'd let you date him anyday.
Blossom: ditto for Quatre. *closes locker carefully, making sure the pictures don't fall* But I don't want to go out with Mark. I'd get Gabi, Liz, and Fianna on my tail like that. *snaps fingers and stops in front of cafeteria door*
Mogura: Fine now lets go. *grabs Blossoms arm and pulls her in, sits her down and starts a game of blackjack (aka 21)*
Blossom: *deals cards that came out of nowhere* Lets see. How many guys won't you let me date? How about the whole student population?!?!?!?
Mogura: You're too good for those jerks. Plus being almost 16 is way to young to date. Ms. Cole says so.
Blossom: *sighs* I know, but think about it. We're the only two people in the whole grade not going out with anyone! Mike and Antares are going at it even! James, on the other hand, is going out with Kim, which is really strange if you ask me.
The girls play for the remainder of free period chatting about weird couples and how Blossom is too young to date.
Blossom: Can you go to my locker to see if my pictures are still intact? I'd really appreciate it.
Mogura: Fine. Lets go. *the girls walk to blossoms locker and stop* What on earth is that sound?
Voice1: Heero Get your damn foot out of my face.
Voice2: *sounds muffled* Once you get your stupid braid out of my mouth!
Voice1: Hello? Anybody out there? Open this pleassssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. He's spitting on my beautiful braid!
Mogura: Oh God a bully stuck two nerds in your locker again! Will they ever learn?
Blossom: *sighs and flicks braid over shoulder* No. But I'll let them out this time. *dials combination and opens locker*
Mogura: *guys fall at her feet* Blossom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What are little *sharp intake of breath* boys doing in your locker. Explanation please?
Blossom: I dunno, but they look kinda familiar. *looks in locker for any damage* HEY! What did you two punks do to my pictures? I just got them yesterday!
Mogura: *picks Duo up by his collar* You better tell her where they are or else little boy you are in bigggg trouble.
Duo (aka Voice1): No I didn't do anything. Lemme goooooooooooo.
Mogura: *turns to Blossom* he looks familiar to me too. What do you think?
Blossom: Yup he's cute. Kinda like..*gasps* HEY! It's Duo! *nudges Heero(aka voice 2)* then he must be Heero! *picks him up* I'm on cloud nine again.
Strange voice from three lockers down: help meee. I can't breathe..pleaseeeeeeeeeeee help me....*goes on like that for several minutes*
Duo: Hey. That sounds like Q-man, right Heero? By the way, you owe me for spitting on my precious braid.
Heero: hn.
Blossom: *glomps Heero and Duo and launches herself at Mogura's locker* Let's go see if what happened to me happened to you Mogura!
Mogura: *shaking head* It's all in a dream. It's all in a dream. *walks her lockers which is three lockers down and opens it. Quatre falls out* Christ. My god its.its all in a dream. *turns away to Blossom* please pinch me now *Pinched* owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Shit Blossom that hurt!
Blossom: you asked for a pinch, and you got a pinch! Her Quatre, what are you doing here? Same thing for these ultra cute boys. *shows Quatre Duo and Heero*
Quatre: I don't feel so hot.
Mogura: Geez hot is an understatement. You look terrible. Come here and I'll take you to the nurse.
Blossom: I don't think that's a good idea. She might ask questions. But let me feel him first. *feels his forehead with her wrist* Woah! He's got a mega temperature. Maybe I'll figure out a way to get us all home.
Duo: Does home mean food?
Mogura: Great now we have to fit three boys in our apartment.
Blossom: But Mogura! T.T Think about the good side of this. Your wish came true. Let me take care of Quatre for a couple of days, then he'll be as good as new! *anime like pose, with a V symbol* CAUSE I'M A NURSE!!!!!!!!
Mogura: *shakes head* Fine. I'll hack into the school's computer and put in that we ave contracted the Spanish Flu. No come on! *grabs Blossom by the shirt* Let's go I have the keys.
Blossom: Can't I drive? I promise not to go too fast! *halo appears above Blossom's head*
Mogura: Fine now lets go. *drags everyone to her convertible* Quatre sit between Duo and Heero.
Blossom: *takes a plastic bag out of no where* and take this bag with you. Try not to throw up, I'm kind of squeamish.
They all get in the car and Blossom drives like a bat out of you-know- where. While she does that, Mogura does some typing on the laptop with Heero watching her.
Heero: You know, you're almost as good as I am.
Blossom: Heero? Can you keep an eye on Quatre? I asked Duo to, but he's staring at the scenery.
Heero: Fine.
Mogura: Hey Mr. Hacker, I can tell you I'm wayyy more advances then you. Your techniques are like 20 years old.
Blossom: Mogura, stop making him feel bad. Do we have any Pepto-Bismol at home? I think our blonde friend will need it. Also, say that we're on a vacation and we're bringing back some relatives of ours. Then we have enough time to make Quatre feel better and we have a good excuse for having these guys!
Mogura: *types while Blossom tells her what to do* Done.
Heero: What? That takes me at least an hour or two!
Duo: ooooooooooo the girls a better hacker! Heero got whooped by a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heero: hn.
Blossom: *reaches behind her and smacks Duo on the head* Shut up cute man! Mogura's talented at this because she helps me with stealing files. It's a lot of fun, you should try it sometime.
Mogura: *raises an eyebrow at the term "cute man". The car comes to a stop and she gets out* Lets move. Quatre looks a bit green.
Blossom: *turns a bit green herself* NO! I'll open up the apartment, you keep Quatre near a garbage can, and I'm taking these two hot bishie with me. *grabs said bishie and runs towards the apartment building, keys almost flying out of her hands*
Mogura: *raises eyebrow once again at the term "hot bishie"* Thinks if they even so touch her God help their souls. *she helps Quatre up and carries him to the apartment building*
Blossom: *sees Mogura carrying Quatre, who looks slightly less green* You are sooooooooooooo torturing me with him, aren't you? Or can you not trust me with two boys alone? T.T
Mogura: Actually I am more worried about him. He's burning up. Come on Blossom, you're the nurse here. HELP HIM!
Blossom: *taken aback by her force and goes into nurse mode. She opens the door* Ok. Duo, Heero, you'll see the kitchen right on your left. Can you fill up a bowl of cold ice water and take it to me? Mogura, I might need some Tylenol, Pepto-Bismol and Nyquil. Also, can you get some wash clothes? I'll take him into my room and get him a large bowl, just in case he does throw up. Then Mogura, can you get some ginger ale?
Mogura: Ok.
Duo: *from kitchen* What ginger ale? I want a fever.
Blossom: Vernors, and the flat ginger ale helps settle your stomach, and it tastes good both flat and carbonated!
Heero: *also from the kitchen* Where are the damn bowls?
Blossom: *sighs and goes into kitchen* You total bakas. *opens the only cabinet they didn't open and takes out a bowl, then goes over to the sink and turns on the cold water, after a few minutes, she turns it off and takes the bowl out of the sink* Come with me. *they follow her like lost dogs*
Duo: Is Q-man going to be Ok?
Blossom: He's going to be fine. It's probably just a 24-hour flu. *waves good-bye to Mogura, who looks like she doesn't want to leave just in case the boys do something to Blossom*
Heero: *peers at Quatre* Are you totally sure he's going to be ok?
Blossom: Positive.
Mogura: *back from store* I got the non-existent Vernors from Michigan. Duo could you help me with something?
Duo: Sure. *comes over* What do you need, hot lady?
Mogura: *raises eyebrow at the words "hot lady"*
Blossom: Duo, we need you to help me take care of Quatre. Heero, you too.
Duo: Why? We didn't get him sick!
Blossom: *sends him a glare Wufei would be proud of, if he was here* Because I said so, now git!
Quatre: *slowly sits up* Huh? What's going on?
Blossom: *rushes over to him* Don't sit up to quickly Quatre, you need to lie down! *hands him a open can of flat Vernors* Here drink this.
Quatre: *looks at her suspiciously* What is it?
Duo: *coming back from his hiding place* It's flat ginger ale. I can't drink it!
Blossom: You'll get a carbonated version of this stuff, but it depends on how well Mogura knows me. I could drink a case of these in a month!
Mogura: Quatre *winks at Blossom* we are nurses. You have a very high fever and you ned medical attention. We will give you some time to visit with your friends. *she winks at Duo who gets the idea and drags Blossom out and closes the door*
Blossom: *protesting against being dragged by Duo* HEY! GET OFF ME YOU BAKA!!
Mogura: Stop that vulgar language at once Missy. That is not polite now help me clean this up. *gestures to the mess Heero and Duo made looking for a bowl*
Blossom: That's not my fault! Heero and Duo should clean it up! They're the ones who made it!!
Mogura: Oh come on. *both begin to work*
In Blossom's room.
Duo: Q-man are you ok?
Quatre: I feel a bit better, but I'm so cold. *shivers*
Duo: Cold? *feels forehead* Dude! You're burning up! Let me go get the girls. *walks out of room*
Heero: Hn. (translation: Why are you so cold if you have a fever?)
Quatre: I don't know Heero. It's a mystery.
Outside the door, Duo has found the two cleaning up the pots and stuff.
Duo: Hey babes come on. Quatre's burning and he says he's freezing.
Mogura: *raises eyebrow at the word "babes"*
Blossom: *unfazed by the word because she hears it almost everyday* That happens with a fever. I'll bring him some extra blankets. Duo, come with me so you can learn where they are. Mogura, can you get a glass of water, some Tylenol, and make some chicken soup? *leaves room with Duo in tow*
Mogura: *gets a cup full of ice water, finds some Tylenol, and heats up some soup in the microwave. She puts it all on a tray and goes into Blossom's room* Here you are. Are you ok? Here's some stuff to eat. Take the Tylenol first then ok?
Blossom/Duo: *comes in room* AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! How cute!
Quatre: *blushes from both fever and embarrassment* Ok.
Mogura: Here Heero, you help him eat. *red color rises to cheeks as she leaves the room*
Blossom: Hey Duo, did we say anything that might make Mogura blush? It's hard to do. *puts the extra blankets on her bed, covering Quatre with them*
Duo: None that I know of, you?
Blossom: Nope.
In the garage Mogura pulls on a helmet and gets on her motorcycle that she and Blossom share. She decides to go to the park for a walk. Blossom hears the noise coming from the garage.
Blossom: She's off on another trip again. I hope she brings back food. I also hope she's not angry at us. Duo, what the hell are you doing??
Duo: *looking through some of Blossom's drawers* Looking for something for us to wear. We can't wear these clothes forever you know!
Blossom: . Then why are you looking in my underwear drawer instead of in the closets??? Try some of Mogura's clothes. She keeps some guy stuff. Tomorrow, once Mogura comes back, she always does, we'll go shopping for some stuff for you guys to wear.
Duo: *still digging through the underwear drawer* Yeah, whatever.
Blossom: *getting really mad* You'd better not let Mogura know what you're doing. She'd beat you up!
Duo: *looking up from drawer* Really? I'm so scared.
Blossom: You should be. She beat up my boyfriend from 7th grade! Now he doesn't even come near me when I'm with Mogura, in fear of getting a broken arm and leg again. Not to mention his nose.
Duo: *shuts drawer quickly* Okie then. Come on Heero, let's check out the closets instead.
Heero: hn. (translation: no way am I going into a girls closet!)
Duo: Fine. *opens a closet by himself and jumps in surprise* What the hell is all this stuff?
Blossom: *calmly looks at which closet he opened from her position by her bed* You opened my anime closet! I dress up as an anime character for the Big Apple Anime con every year! I have tons of outfits, 'cause I always keep them.
Duo: *shuts closet door, and moves to another one* What about this one?
Blossom: *looks at his closet choice, and smiles a sly smile* Go ahead. But Heero, you might want to catch him incase he faints.
Duo: I NEVER FAINT!!!! *opens door, and falters* Now what would a hot babe like you do with all these guns?
Blossom: *waits for Mogura to raise her eyebrow at the words "hot babe"* Wait a sec. She's not here! Duh! *hits her head with her hand* I'm a sort of killer/thief person. I kill people, then steal their stuff. Usually food or money, since we never have any of either.
Heero: O.O *looks at all her big guns, then at his pun gun* Is there anyway I can take one of yours?
Blossom: NO! These babies are my pride and joy. But I might give you one that I never use if your really nice to me.
Heero: hn (translation: Damn you woman, but I'll try to do it.)
Blossom: Such language! I hear worse from the police. *Duo face faults at the word "police"*
Duo: You've been caught by the police before? How did you escape?
Blossom: I have my ways. But once, they didn't fall for them and Mogura bailed me out. It was great.
Duo: Jail was great?
Blossom: NO! Knowing someone cares about you so much they bail you out of jail is great. That's when we started to live with eachother, since my parents kicked me out of their house for being in jail in the first place.
Mogura enters back from her ride sporting a new haircut.
Mogura: Who wants sushi!
Heero: Thank god real food!!!!
Blossom/Duo: ewwwwwwwwwwwww.
Mogura: I figured for you guys.. Did somebody say.......McDonalds?
Blossom/Duo: We bow down before you!
Quatre: Did you guys forget me?
Mogura: *blushing* Er, no. Here, I picked you up some Sweet and Sour soup. It's my favorite.
Everyone but Quatre goes to sit at the dining room table and Duo takes a good look at the girls. He looks at Blossom first. She has long dirty blonde hair in a messy braid that rivaled his in length, and she had pink streaks in it. She also had sweet blue eyes. She wore a light pink shirt that had a low neckline that he was sure Mogura disapproved of. He then turned his sight to the over-protective sister. She had her black hair cut short so she looked like a guy from the back. She was wearing a black t- shirt and leather jacket. Actually Duo would of thought she was a he if she didn't have the tell-tale curves on her front. He then observed that Blossom was curvier than her sister was.
Mogura: Duo??? What are you staring at?
Blossom: *puts finger to lips and brings back her hand and hits him SLAM! On the back of his head* Wake up you baka!
Mogura: Whatever. Ok so what were you guys doing while I went for a ride?
Blossom: *smiling an evil smile* Well Duo was looking at my.
Duo: *interrupts* Shut up. *looks at Mogura fearfully* err I'm going to go check on Q-man. *gets up and leaves*
Blossom: *looking disappointed she didn't get to bust Duo* So Heero, what do you do for a living?
Heero: hn (translation: why should I tell you?)
Blossom: because I'm sooooo nice and you think I'm cute.
Heero: Hn. (translation: You can't make me bitch)
Blossom: *takes a gun out of no where and points it to Heero's head* I can make you do whatever I want.
Heero: Fine. I'm a Gundam Pilot OK?
Blossom: hmmmm (translation: let me think about it.)
Mogura: Well it looks like everyone's done. Lets clean up and get some sleep.
Blossom: What about karaoke? (A/N: Blossom. I don't know how to spell that.)
Mogura: Maybe after you go check on Quatre.
Blossom: OK! *gets up and leaves*
Mogura: *shakes her head* Come on Heero you help me wash.
Heero: Whatever. *they get up*
In the bedroom.
Blossom: Well Quatre, your fever is finally going down. You should be as good as new tomorrow.
Quatre: Thanks Blossom. *blushes then points at a machine* By the way, what's that?
Blossom: *smiles* It's a karaoke machine. I love to sing, so Mogura got me one for my birthday last year.
Quatre: Oh.
Blossom: I'll sing later. Get some sleep. We go to the mall tomorrow.
Quatre: Ok. *Blossom and Duo exit the room*
Blossom: *walks into the living room to see Mogura helping make a bed on the couch* So I guess you and me will sleep in your bed and Duo and Heero sleep here?
Duo: No way. Sleeping with Heero will probably be like sleeping on a rock all night. I'll sleep on the floor. *gestures to assorted blankets on the floor*
Mogura: fine with me. *tosses them 2 big t-shirts* You guys can wear them. They're t-shirts to sleep in.
Duo: *already taking off his shirt* Cool. Thanks a lot.
Blossom: *drools at Duo's bare chest in front of her* Nice body Duo.
Mogura: *covers Blossom's eyes. Eyebrow goes up at the words "Nice body"* I think not. Come on Blossom you and I need to get ready for bed and you're definitely changing in my room.
Blossom: But what about karaoke? You said I could.
Mogura: No special outfits tonight. Tomorrow.
Blossom: ^.^ OK! *runs to her room to grab some clothes* Come on Mogura. We should get changed, then we need to drag the machine here so the bishie can listen!
Mogura: *shakes her head and drags Blossom to her room across the hall, Blossom is to happy to notice*
A couple of minutes later, the machine was in the living room, with enough room for Blossom to sing and dance in. Mogura carried Quatre in the room because he said he wanted to watch and Blossom said it was ok since his fever was down.
Blossom: What should I sing, Mogura?
Mogura: 'Goodbye' by Natalie Imbrugllia. It's so wonderful, and you sing it so well.
Blossom: *nods and puts in the CD. She flicks to the song and starts singing* Everyday's the same, I feel them merge/ I try to separate, resist the urge/ But they tell me I'll be fine/ that it will all get better/ Just try to write it down/ Or put it in a letter/ But the words won't play/ cause there's no easy way to say/ Goodbye, Goodbye/ Keep my head on straight and don't look down/ With all I've pushed around I'm losing ground/ But they tell me I'll be fine/ that it will all get better/ Just try to write it down/ or put it in a letter/ but the words won't play/ cause there's no easy way to say/ Goodbye, Goodbye/ And from all the sidelines/ Watch me fall down/ And I don't understand the things I do/ But I'll probably be fine/ As long as I keep on moving/ I'll try to write it down/ So things just keep improving/ Still the words won't play/ cause there's no easy way to say/ Goodbye, Goodbye/ Goodbye, Goodbye
All GW boys: *stare at Blossom in shock that she can sing that well*
Mogura: *starts clapping, tears in her eyes* I always love it when Blossom sings that song!
Duo: Were you lip-syncing?
Blossom: *proud of herself* Nope! *tries to sing the next one, but Mogura stops her*
Mogura: Tomorrow. *she shuts off the machine to save on the electricity*
Blossom: *sighs and lets herself be dragged to Mogura's room to sleep* Good night boys! *blows a kiss to them before she goes in the door*
Quatre: O.O wow. She's a really good singer. Good Night Duo, Heero.
Duo/Heero: Good night.
After a lot of sleep, Blossom wakes up to the smell of pancakes and oranges.
Blossom: *comes in kitchen* Yum. Pancakes!
GW boys: *stare at her and get nosebleeds*
Blossom: What?
Mogura: Blossom, your shirt.
Blossom: *looks down to see that it isn't there* Oopsie. Guess I threw it off during the night.
Mogura: *frowns* You did. I woke up with it on my face
Blossom: *blushes* sorry. *grabs a towel from the stove and makes a makeshift tube top* Better?
Mogura: Kind of. But at least it covers.
Blossom: *sighs and goes to get some disinfectant and some paper towels*
Mogura: Where are you going?
Blossom: They're getting blood all over the table.
Mogura: *looks* Shit. You're right.
Blossom: *comes back* Now I have to wake them up.
Mogura: I'll do it. *pours ice cold water over their heads*
Duo/Quatre: THAT'S COLD!
Heero: HN! (translation: DAMN YOU MOGURA!)
Blossom: *frowns* Get up. I have to disinfect the table. You got blood all over it. *they obey, avoiding eye contact with both women. Blossom wipes off all the blood and disinfects it*
Duo: why did you come in like that?
Blossom: *blushes* I got hot during the night, which is weird, since Mogura kept the fan going all night.
Mogura: I was fine.
Quatre: If you were cold, how come you took your shirt off?
Blossom: *blushes* When I'm cold, I burrow under the sheets, then I get hot and I take my shirt off.
GW boys: *stare*
Heero: hn (translation: and you offered her your bed why?)
Mogura: *sighs* because she's my sister and I'm supposed to be sisterly.
Blossom: *sticks her tongue out at her* I could've been fine in the kitchen.
Mogura: *frowns* Too close to the guys.
Blossom: *sighs and shakes her head* Let me get dressed, then we'll all go shopping. OK? *walks out of room*
Mogura: *yells after her* I have to check your outfit before we leave!
Blossom: *sighs from room* OK!
Blossom comes out of her room wearing a low-cut belly shirt and short shorts.
Mogura: *looks at shirt, b/c Blossom always wears those shorts* No.
Blossom: *sighs and goes back in her room* Fine.
Everyone hears drawers being opened and closed, and some swearing. Blossom comes out, wearing only her bra and the shorts.
Blossom: *smiles sweetly at Duo* Duo, what time did you get up?
Duo: Six thirty.
Mogura: *eyes her outfit* Why?
Blossom: *ignores her* Do you have any idea what happened to all my clothes?
Duo: *halo appears over his head* Noooooo.
Mogura: *thinking* Where did that halo come from? *talking* Is that your final answer?
Duo: *gulps* Yes.
Mogura: *raises eyebrow for the sake of raising it and cracks knuckles* Sure?
Duo: OK!! I hid them!
Blossom: Where?
Duo: Ask the Perfect Soldier.
Heero: Omoe o korosu. (A/N: Blossom again. I dunno how to spell that either! Help me plz!)
Blossom/Mogura: I'm sorry, but under no circumstances do we allow killing in the house.
Heero: *lowers gun* Fine.
Duo: They're under the couch.
Blossom: Thank you. *skips to the living room and more curses are heard* SHIT! Why did we have to have this couch? It's so damn heavy! *cursing stops and they hear footsteps in the bathroom*
A couple minutes later, Blossom comes back in the kitchen wearing a yellow halter top and the short shorts. Her hair was down except for a red bow in her hair.
Duo: *drools at her* What's the bow for?
Blossom: My favorite Sailor Scouts are Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus. I dressed up like Rei once for the Anime Con, and this year I'm going as Minako. I'm practicing!
Duo: Oh. What about you Mogura?
Mogura: Later. Come on lets go! *drags Blossom out of house before she can put on her makeup, which takes several hours*
Half an hour later, they arrived at the mall. It had every store imaginable. The group got out of the car, looking wind slapped, since Mogura allowed Blossom to drive once again.
Duo: I'm never going in that car with you again!
Blossom: *twinkle in eye* Never?
Mogura: *raises eyebrow at the twinkle*
Duo: *mumbles something Blossom can hear but Mogura can't*
Mogura: What was that Duo?
Duo: Nothing!
Blossom: *grabs Mogura's arm and drags her in front of a store* Let's go in this one!
Duo: *looks at what the store was called, mouth drops open* Spandex-R-Us? Why are we here?
Heero: *grunts and walks in*
Blossom: *starts to walk in too but is held back by Mogura* Hey! Let me go!
Mogura: *lets her go and walks by* You stay here *walks in store*
Blossom: *yells to her* Fine. I'll stay here with DUO! *looks around for Duo* Duo?
Duo: *pokes his head out of a nearby store called Priests R Us* Wha?
Blossom: What are you doing?
Duo: *pulls his head back in* Lookin.
Blossom: *shakes head, sits down on a nearby bench*
In the spandex store.
Mogura: *walks in just as Heero looks ready to pull out his gun* Hey Heero over here. *walks over to him*
Quatre: *tries to blend in with the background*
Heero: The damn salesmen won't give me the spandex I need!
Mogura: *sighs and settles score*
Outside, a suspicious looking person comes to Blossom.
Angelo: Well, well, well. What do we have here?
Blossom: *not realizing it was him* Go away bastard.
Angelo: *comes into her view* Really? I thought you loved me.
Blossom: *getting scared, but hiding it* Go away.
Angelo: *advancing on her* No. *kisses her*
Blossom: *tries to scream, to pull away, but can't in Angelo's crushing hands*
In the priest store, on the other hand.
Duo: *at the cash register* I wonder how Blossom's doing alone.
Register Man: *solemn* How are you going to pay for this, disciple of Christ?
Duo: ummmm. Hang on a sec ok?
Register Man: *looks around empty store* Not like this place is full of disciples.
Duo: Right. Thanks. *runs out of store*
Outside, Angelo stopped kissing Blossom finally.
Blossom: *shaking from fright* Damn it! Get away from me! It's your fault I'm in this mess anyway!
Angelo: You resisted, I had to show you the glory of it.
Blossom: You know, a good boyfriend doesn't pressure his girlfriend into sex!
Angelo: *faking a sad look* I wasn't a good boyfriend?
Blossom: *opens her mouth to say something, but Angelo kisses her silent again. Blossom once again tries to pull away, but he has her in a sort of lip lock*
Duo: *coming toward the bench they're at* Wha? *freezes*
In spandex store.
Mogura: *pays for clothes* Come on Heero, Quatre. Let's go see how Blossom and Duo are doing. *they walk out*
Now, all of them are outside near the bench.
Mogura: *freezes in tracks at the two people on the bench* God. Can't people get a room?
Duo: *slaps himself awake* Mogura! Blossom's being attacked by some odd guy! He's kissing her on the bench right now.
Mogura/Heero/Quatre: WHAT?????????????
Mogura: What does he look like?
Duo: He's right there. *points to the bench Mogura made a comment about before*
Mogura: Oh God.
Angelo: *finally pulls away and looks behind him* We have company.
Blossom: GET OFF ME YOU FREAK!!!
Angelo: *wags his finger in her face, but gets off anyway* Temper, temper.
Blossom: You'll feel more than my temper once I'm done with you!
Mogura: *snaps her fingers, lightbulb appears over her head* I got it!
Duo/Quatre: Got what?
Heero: hn? (translation: Where did that lightbulb come from?)
Mogura: Duo, you go restrain Blossom before she kills our guest. Quatre, Heero, turn our guest around. *they go to do their appointed jobs*
Blossom: *trying to escape Duo's arms* Let me go! I need to kill the bastard for real! He's the one who put me in jail!
Duo: *turns her around so she's facing him* No. Mogura will take care of it.
Blossom: *calming down a little bit, and is now crying* But Mogura's been taking care of everything! It makes me mad sometimes!
Duo: *comforting her* Shh. It'll be ok.
Blossom: *breaks down and collapses in Duo's arms, crying*
Duo: *looks at Mogura, whose face is blank as she beats up Angelo* I hate to be that guy. *sits down with Blossom in arms still*
Register Man: Young disciple, are you going to come back in and pay for your holy clothes made by the hands of God?
Blossom: *stops crying and gets up* I'll deal with it Duo. Come on. *walks to the store with shaky legs and falls once* Ow.
Duo: *helps her up* Come on. I'll help you.
Blossom: *smiles a dazzling smile* Thanks. *together they walk into the store and Blossom pays for the stuff*
Duo: *bows down before her* Thank you almighty Goddess!
Blossom: *laughs so hard she falls down again* Stop it! That's too funny!
Mogura: *kicks Angelo's lifeless looking form* That takes care of him.
Blossom: *frowns down at him* Did you leave him alive?
Mogura: Unfortunately, yes. You'd kill me if I'd killed him.
Blossom: Damn straight.
Mogura: *finally sees who's holding Blossom straight* Maxwell.
Duo: *gulps but doesn't let go of her*
Mogura: *growls threateningly* Let go.
Duo: Can't.
Blossom: If he did, I'd be on the floor right now.
Mogura: *sighs and gives in* Come on Quatre-kun. Let's finish. We've got to get home so I can see if Blossom has any injuries.
Blossom: None.
Duo: *at the same time* Some.
Blossom: *turns her head and sticks her tongue out at him* Meanie.
Duo: Protective.
Blossom: Pervert.
Duo: *shrugs* Guilty.
Mogura: Blossom, you stay out here with Heero. Duo, I don't trust you, so you're coming in with me. Come on Quatre. *Duo sets Blossom down on a nearby bench reluctantly and follows Mogura and Quatre into a store called Arabian Nights*
Heero: *sits down next to Blossom and keeps his gun handy*
Blossom: Don't worry. Angelo's the only sick-o who would try to make out with me when I'm at the mall. Everyone knows I don't go anywhere without Mogura. I wish I could though. *sighs*
Heero: Why?
Blossom: Why what?
Heero: Why do you wish you didn't have to everywhere with Mogura?
Blossom: *leans back into a comfortable position* She's so protective. She thinks every guy who looks at me wants to have sex with me. After a scare like what just happened, she's going to tighten my leash. I can't talk to some guys at my school without her next to me. It gets kinda annoying.
Heero: Could you run away?
Blossom: I could, but she would find me somehow. Plus, I would probably get a job as a bartender, and once I leave, Mogura would start to drink her sorrows away. *she shuts up as Mogura, Quatre and Duo come out carrying bags* Never mind.
Duo: *rushes over to her* Have fun with the Perfect Soldier?
Heero: Maxwell.
Duo: *shocked* He didn't threaten to kill me! It's a miracle!
Blossom: *laughs* Hot Topic. Now. Please?
Mogura: *frowns* I hate that place.
Blossom: Please??? After that, Delia's. Promise!
Mogura: Fine. We're not getting much in there though.
Blossom: *smiles an innocent smile and crosses her fingers behind her back. Duo, Heero and Quatre who are behind her, try not to laugh, only Heero's succeeding* Right. *she runs into a store with the music blasting Avril Lavine's Sk8er Boi and starts pulling things off shelves*
Mogura: *shakes her head* And it starts again. Save us, hopefully she doesn't buy out the store again. If we spend anymore money, we'll have to do a job again. I don't have anything set up! This totally sucks.
Duo: *walks into store wincing at the loud music which is now playing Blink 182's Online Songs* You say something Mogura?
Mogura: *walks into store where Blossom is at the check out desk talking to the Sales man* No.
Blossom: And then I said, 'I don't flirt! I talk, but I don't flirt.' It got me really pissed, you know? I mean, it was a total insult!
Sales Guy: *lost in her eyes* Right.
Mogura: Stop talking now Blossom. Are you done? *whispers* Once we get home, get out your feline outfit. We're going to have a job tonight.
Blossom: *also whispering* Ok. Maroon, Dark Purple, Dark Blue, or Black?
Mogura: Don't care. Ask the guys. Talk to them while I pay.
Blossom: *in normal voice* Got it! *skips away*
An hour later, Blossom, Mogura, Duo, Heero, and Quatre all come out of the mall with many bags. Most of them are Blossom's.
Mogura: I'm driving. You get to pick the place this time.
Blossom: Right. And it's going to be Maroon.
Mogura: *nods* Bank?
Blossom: *pulls out map conveniently kept in the holder thing all cars have.* Of America. We haven't done that one yet.
Duo: What are you two babes talking about?
Mogura: *raises her eyebrow at the word "babes"*
Blossom: *giggles* I'm thinking of ways to seduce you without Mogura killing you.
Mogura: *growls* No you won't.
Blossom: Kidding!! *whispers to Duo* I'll figure it out someday.
Duo: *grins like a little boy given candy*
Quatre: Is there such thing as a Bank of America?
Blossom: Yeah. It's huge! It's like where everyone in the state deposits his or her money. Actually, they deposit it at a branch of it, but this is the main place, and it's where all their money goes. It's really rich, but it has a lot of security.
Heero: hn? (translation: How does a person get past it if they want to rob it?)
Duo: And why did you want us to pick a color?
Mogura: Later. And tomorrow, if Blossom doesn't wake up before noon, don't worry.
Blossom: It's natural.
The hours pass, until all the guys are in bed. Blossom and Mogura are in the garage, talking quietly.
Mogura: Ready?
Blossom: *zipping up her cat suit* Yup. Just about. *puts on helmet*
Mogura: *types something on her laptop, and closes it. She then pulls out a mini microphone and speaks into it* All secure. Ready to launch.
Blossom: *nods helmet, signaling Mogura to open the garage door, and revving the motorcycle quietly because of the extra muffler* Launch away. *the garage door opens and Blossom speeds off into the night*
In the living room, the G-boys were actually awake and wondering what Blossom was doing on the motorcycle.
Duo: Wonder what she's up to?
Heero: Robbing a bank.
Duo/Quatre: WHAT? Why would she do that?
Heero: Money. *he gets up and walks over to where he kept the clothes he came in. he opens up a hidden pocket in his shorts and pulls out a remote control and presses a button* a ride will be her in a minute, get dressed.
Duo: Why? Where are we going?
Quatre: Who would assign us a mission here?
Heero: Me. Get dressed. *reluctantly, they do so, and follow Heero's lead of jumping out the window onto a open-top convertible.*
In the Bank of America.
Blossom: *whispering into the mask she slipped over her head after putting her motorcycle in a safe place that's easily accessible* Ok Mogura. I'm in. Now what? *she hears Mogura's voice in her head, and follows it exactly and soon finds the safe*
In the safe.
Duo: *whispering* Heero, what are we doing here? Why are we in a safe?
Heero: We're waiting for a guest. *the door opens quietly, and someone in a maroon cat suit enters and sees them*
Blossom: *shock and whispering* Mogura! We've got a problem!
Mogura's voice: what is it Blossom? The coast was clear!
Blossom: Go check on the guys.
Mogura's voice: They aren't....
Blossom: They are.
Mogura's voice: SHIT! Grab money and leave ASAP! We can't let them catch you!
Heero: Drop the mask Blossom. We don't want to hurt you.
Blossom: This is my problem, not yours!
Duo: But why?
Blossom: I'm only getting two stacks of money. It's a sort of revenge on my ex and my parents.
Quatre: You're risking going to jail for REVENGE?
Blossom: *tears welling up behind her mask* You don't get it.
Heero: *walks toward her quickly and grabs her mask* Try me.
Blossom: *presses a button on her palm, and smoke comes out of the mask. Blossom puts on a air mask* I will.
G-Boys: *fall to floor*
Blossom: *presses another button and they disappear* Sorry guys. I have to do this. *grabs money out of two places and leaves two notes there* I wish I didn't have to do this, but hate and anger press me on. The only way out is love, or a good paying job with cute boys. *she jumps to a window and climbs out of it. Taking the bag of money, she jumps onto the motorcycle and speeds off into the night, crying*
At the apartment the next morning.
Mogura: *looking at the clock and thinking* Where's Blossom? I got the money, but not her. Not even a note. I hope they didn't tell her anything.
Duo: *coming into the kitchen yawning* Mogura? Where's Blossom? It's almost 10:00!
Heero: What did she do to us?
Mogura: *ignoring the questions and puts out her hand* Mask. Give it.
Quatre: *also coming in yawning with the mask* Here you go.
Mogura: Thank you. *phone rings and Mogura races to get it* Hello?
Voice on phone: Is Blossom there?
Mogura: No. May I take a message?
Voice on phone: Can you tell her to call Zack? It's really important.
Mogura: *frowns. She doesn't like Zack* Sure. Whatever. I'll tell her as soon as she gets home. Bye. *she hangs up*
Duo: Who was it?
Mogura: A guy that likes Blossom. His name is Zack. I hate him. *frowns*
Quatre: You think Blossom will ever come back? *just as he finishes saying that, Blossom comes in*
Blossom: *looking flushed and singing* Oooooooo Rock me Amadeus! (A/N: B. It's an inside joke between me and my good friend James)
Mogura: Where were you? I was worried when you sent only the money!
Blossom: *frowns* That not true! I sent the hot bishie too! *winks at Duo and Heero. Duo blushes, while Heero's eyes widen a fraction of an inch*
Mogura: *raises eyebrow at the words "hot bishie" and the wink* Zack called. He told me to tell you to call him back.
Blossom: *blood drains away from her face* Give me the phone! NOW!
Mogura: What does he want?
Blossom: *blushes* Nothing.
Duo: Where were you last night anyway?
Blossom: *shoots him a look* MYOB.
Duo: Huh?
Mogura: *hands Blossom the cordless phone, who runs into her room and locks the door* Mind your own Business.
Duo: Oh.
Heero: *goes over to Blossom's locked door and listens in on her side of the conversation*
In the room.
Blossom: Zack! I was drunk!
Zack: And that means what?
Blossom: I didn't mean to make out with you. I barely remember anything!
Zack: And yet you hide it well. Were you actually drunk?
Blossom: Yes, why?
Zack: You didn't look it. A drunk girl doesn't act the way you did.
Blossom: Be glad Mogura can't hear anything. If she could, she'd kill you!
Zack: I know that! When are you going to be back in school?
Blossom: Soon. I'm supposed to be on vaka (pronounced vay-kay), remember?
Zack: But I miss you. Brianna, Kim, and Antares have been hanging all over me once they found out you were gone.
Blossom: But we aren't going out!
Zack: Wanna try?
Blossom: What? Going out?
Zack: Yeah.
Blossom: Can't.
Zack: Why not?
Blossom: Mogura, other guys that like me that would kill you. Shall I go on?
Zack: No. I'll call later. James' here right now.
Blossom: Tell him I said, "OOOOOOO Rock Me Amadeus!"
Zack: Will do.
Blossom: Bye. *she hangs up and calls.* You can stop listening now Heero!
Outside during the conversation.
Mogura: *whispering* What's she saying Heero?
Heero: Hn. (translation: something about being drunk.)
Mogura: DRUNK?????? I'll kill her!
Duo: No you won't. There's got to be a perfectly logical explanation for this!
Blossom: *voice sound muffled* You can stop listening now Heero! *door opens and Blossom comes out, looking pissed* You stoop to such low standards? I'm ashamed!
Mogura: What do you mean, DRUNK?
Blossom: None of your business!
Duo: You made out with someone we don't know?
Blossom: I know him! He's a really good friend of mine!
Mogura: Who happens to be a guy you like.
Blossom: Big deal! I like lots of guys! Like Duo and Heero, for instance!
Duo: Really?
Heero: *thinking* Oh no.
Mogura: Out. Now.
Blossom: I was about to go out anyway! *grabs her jacket and some other clothes and leaves*
Quatre: *standing shocked* You didn't mean that, did you?
Mogura: She'll come back. As for where she goes, I have no idea.
Heero: *opening his laptop* She went to Zack's house. Apparently, she always goes there when you tell her to leave.
Mogura: WHAT?????? WHY?
Heero: Don't ask me.
Duo: Should we follow her?
Heero: No. She'll be leaving his house soon anyway. He'll be with her.
Mogura: We will follow her. *grits teeth* Once I find her, I'll kill Zack.
Quatre: Please don't.
Mogura: Whatever. *grabs jacket* You guys coming or not? *the boys nod and follow her, Heero brining his laptop to keep track of where Blossom goes*
Where Blossom, Zack and James are.
James: Once again, she tells you to leave.
Zack: *driving to the clubbing part of town* Why does she do that anyway?
Blossom: I have no idea. *Zack pulls into the parking lot of a club named Club Scouts (A/N: interesting, ne?)*
Guard: Names?
Blossom: Arianna Sky and friends.
Guard: Nice to see you again Sky. Will you sing tonight?
Blossom: Maybe. Is Adam here?
Guard: Everyday. You're clothes are in the back.
Blossom: *send him a smile that melts a guys heart* Thanks Greg. Come on guys. I need to change.
Zack: I'll never get over you getting into every club in town just by changing your name.
James: It's so freaky.
Blossom: True. Can you guys get the usual spots at the bar while I change? I need it badly.
Zack: Sure. I'll tell Adam you're here too.
Blossom: Thanks.
Outside the club, the others are arguing with the Guard.
Guard: I let no one in today named Blossom.
Heero: What about an Arianna? Arianna Sky?
Guard: She came a few minutes ago with two male friends. Looked kinda sad. She might be singing tonight. Be on the lookout, she sings like a dream. Are you four friends of hers?
Mogura: *getting steamed* You could say that.
Guard: Ok then. You can go in. *he moves aside for them*
At the bar. (A/N: Blossom is going to be called Arianna now, or Air, as some call her. The name change is because everyone at the club knows her as that.)
Arianna: *coming back, wearing a micro-mini skirt and a cropped maroon and blue halter top, with glitter in her hair, which is also streaked dark blue, and her eyes looked smoky. Her skin had glitter on it too, and her lips were a peach color. In other words, she was drop-dead-gorgeous* Hi guys. Sorry it took so long. I couldn't decide what to wear.
James: It's ok.
Zack: Yeah. It's ok.
Bartender: *coming over* AIR! Finally you come back. No problems with Mo lately?
Arianna: Hi Adam. None in at least a month.
Zack: Speaking of Mogura, she just walked in with three guys. She looks so pissed.
Arianna: *looking behind her* Shit. I think I'll go sing something. Any suggestions?
James: Something by S Club 7.
Arianna: *over at the DJ* Right. Umm. The Color Of Blue by S Club 7 please.
DJ: Sure.
Arianna: *on stage, crowd quiets and watched Arianna on stage starting to sing* I have always wondered How it can be done, to pick the one Who's gonna be the lover for life, baby Be there to hold me, through the night When it happens, you can see it in his eyes They tell no lies Brighter than the sky in July, my baby Cooler than anyone I've known
The colour of blue Reminds me of you I never see gray, green, black You're true The colour of blue No other will do In my heart I only feel The colour of blue
I say, of you ever felt the way I do, then lucky you So never go for less than a perfect thing Seek and then hopefully you'll find There's a rhythm and a rhyme you gotta find it. Then you'll see 'Cause baby, we can go on all night just dancing Doin' it till the break of dawn
The colour of blue Reminds me of you I never see gray, green, black You're true The colour of blue No other will do In my heart I only feel The colour of blue
In the rainbow I can see, colours of misbelief There is only one for me, and it will forever be
The colour of blue Reminds me of you I never see gray, green, black You're true The colour of blue No other will do In my heart I only feel The colour of blue
Crowd: ARI! ARI! AIR! WE LOVE YOU ARIANNA!!!!!!!!
Heero: And that would be Blossom.
Mogura: Maybe, but then where's Zack?
Quatre: Not to mention the other guy. *looks at Duo who's drooling* Duo? Are you ok?
Zack: *gets up from bar* Come on James. Lets go see Mo and company.
James: Right. *follows him, and Arianna catches up*
Arianna: Where are you going?
Zack: To see Mo.
Arianna: *gulps*
Heero: We have company.
Mogura: *looks up from her spot near Duo to see the trio coming torwards them* Oh no. How did they know we were here?
Zack: I can answer that. James and I saw you come in.
Arianna: Why are you here?
Mogura: I think I should be the one asking that question, Blossom!
Fan: *coming up to Arianna* Ms. Sky? Can I have your autograph?
Arianna: *smiling at the boy* Sure. *signs the paper the fan holds out to her* There you go
Fan: Thank you! *runs away*
Duo: Arianna Sky? You're Arianna Sky? I've heard about you! All the clubs I went to before I went on any missions had you performing! You're sensational!
Arianna: Duo? Are you ok?
Adam: *abandoning his post at the bar* Air? It's almost closing time. Here's your money.
Arianna: Thanks Adam. *takes wad Adam holds out to her*
Adam: Hi Mogura.
Mogura: How do you know me?
Adam: Everyone who works here knows that Air always comes here when Mo tells her to go away. She sings and dances her frustrations away. In fact, she was here yesterday, crying her eyes out.
Mogura: Why?
Adam: Something about knocking out her true love or something like that. Though yesterday she drank away her sadness. Soon after, Air and Zack disappeared into her dressing room
Arianna: *shocked at Adam* ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're too observant!
Zack: Way too observant.
Mogura: *eye twitching* Thank you Adam. But I'm afraid Arianna must leave now. *drags her and a star-struck Duo outside*
Quatre: How high of a tolerance does Arianna have when it comes to alcohol?
Adam: It takes about 100 of my strongest stuff to get her drunk.
Zack: How many did she have?
Adam: Only one, but she's a pretty good actress.
Quatre: O.O come on Heero, let's go.
Heero: *follows Quatre, eyes wide at her tolerance*
Zack: I KNEW SHE WAS ONLY ACTING!!!!!!!
James: Come on buddy, let's go. You don't want to trash the place. *drags a very angry Zack outside*
Adam: *shrugs* That girl has to figure out what guy she likes more. It's either Zack, that Duo guy, that Heero dude, or Angelo.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~ *~*~*~*
WHAT? DOES BLOSSOM ACTUALLY LIKE ANGELO?
MoonGun: Ok. Calm down. It'll be ok.
Right. Whatever you say.
Both: REVIEW!!!!!!!!
Duo/Quatre/Heero: *comes into room*
MoonGun: QUATRE!!!!!!!!! *glomps*
Katrina: DUO!!!!! HEERO!!!!!!!!! *glomps both* Part 1a is over finally! Thank god! Watch out for Part 1b!!
Mogura sat at her computer, chatting with her best friend and adopted sister Blossom, who happened to be at a friends house at that time. (Blossom and Mogura have the same internet thing, but Blossom's chatting on her friends AIM)
BlossomGurl: Whats up?
SugerBowl: nothin much u?
BlossomGurl: gotton n e new GW stuff?
SugerBowl: QUATRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's the site?
BlossomGurl: www.livebishie.net it's so awesome! I got tons of cute piccies of Duo and Heero there!
SugerBowl: one minute let me check it out.
Mogura clicked around and got a life sized pic of Quatre and printed it out.
BlossomGurl: u like it? I got life sized pix of Duo and Heero and I'm going to put them on both sides of my locker on Monday! ^.^ *on cloud nine*
SugerBowl: Kewl me 2! Especially since we get the nice long lockers this year. Remember when Mary stuffed herself into those short 7th grade lockers?
BlossomGurl: Yup I thought she was going to get hurt, not to mention a teacher would come by and stop her. I also thought Mark was going to shut it on her!
SugerBowl: What's with Mark any way he's not in our group we don't mix, remember that. Plus hes a player whos he with now? Don't try it and lose it all to him.
BlossomGurl: I dunno who hes w/ now. Probably Gabi again. But he's being really nice to me for sme odd reason. I no we don't mix, but he's really nice!
SugerBowl: G2G see u tomorrow come in early and we will paste our pix in the locker.
BlossomGurl: kk. Bring lots of tape!
-Sugerbowl has signed off-
The next day the girls met in the hall way of Watishima High School. Blossom's blonde pink highlighted hair was tied into a messy braid. While Mogura had her long black in a neat pony tail.
Mogura: Got my pix what about u?
Blossom: No I don't have it. I left it at Antares' house.
Mogura: Spare me the sarcasm my friend.
Blossom: ^.^ Sorry. It's my way of life. I live for sarcasm.
Mogura: Well let's paste and get back to the cafeteria. We have first period free!
Blossom: Thank god for that. Angelo will totally get on my nerves if I had French right now. But doesn't Mark have first period free too?
Mogura: *while taping Quatre pic to locker* didn't we talk about him, please look for a nice boy. but in OUR group.
Blossom: *rolls eyes and finishes taping Duo to locker* Like who? James, or what about that poseur Mike? Those are the only two boys in our group remember!
Mogura: *slams locker closed* Spare me the eyeball rolling. Now come on we're like sisters I don't want you with someone like Mark even if your 16. Duo is kewl don't you wish they were real? I'd let you date him anyday.
Blossom: ditto for Quatre. *closes locker carefully, making sure the pictures don't fall* But I don't want to go out with Mark. I'd get Gabi, Liz, and Fianna on my tail like that. *snaps fingers and stops in front of cafeteria door*
Mogura: Fine now lets go. *grabs Blossoms arm and pulls her in, sits her down and starts a game of blackjack (aka 21)*
Blossom: *deals cards that came out of nowhere* Lets see. How many guys won't you let me date? How about the whole student population?!?!?!?
Mogura: You're too good for those jerks. Plus being almost 16 is way to young to date. Ms. Cole says so.
Blossom: *sighs* I know, but think about it. We're the only two people in the whole grade not going out with anyone! Mike and Antares are going at it even! James, on the other hand, is going out with Kim, which is really strange if you ask me.
The girls play for the remainder of free period chatting about weird couples and how Blossom is too young to date.
Blossom: Can you go to my locker to see if my pictures are still intact? I'd really appreciate it.
Mogura: Fine. Lets go. *the girls walk to blossoms locker and stop* What on earth is that sound?
Voice1: Heero Get your damn foot out of my face.
Voice2: *sounds muffled* Once you get your stupid braid out of my mouth!
Voice1: Hello? Anybody out there? Open this pleassssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. He's spitting on my beautiful braid!
Mogura: Oh God a bully stuck two nerds in your locker again! Will they ever learn?
Blossom: *sighs and flicks braid over shoulder* No. But I'll let them out this time. *dials combination and opens locker*
Mogura: *guys fall at her feet* Blossom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What are little *sharp intake of breath* boys doing in your locker. Explanation please?
Blossom: I dunno, but they look kinda familiar. *looks in locker for any damage* HEY! What did you two punks do to my pictures? I just got them yesterday!
Mogura: *picks Duo up by his collar* You better tell her where they are or else little boy you are in bigggg trouble.
Duo (aka Voice1): No I didn't do anything. Lemme goooooooooooo.
Mogura: *turns to Blossom* he looks familiar to me too. What do you think?
Blossom: Yup he's cute. Kinda like..*gasps* HEY! It's Duo! *nudges Heero(aka voice 2)* then he must be Heero! *picks him up* I'm on cloud nine again.
Strange voice from three lockers down: help meee. I can't breathe..pleaseeeeeeeeeeee help me....*goes on like that for several minutes*
Duo: Hey. That sounds like Q-man, right Heero? By the way, you owe me for spitting on my precious braid.
Heero: hn.
Blossom: *glomps Heero and Duo and launches herself at Mogura's locker* Let's go see if what happened to me happened to you Mogura!
Mogura: *shaking head* It's all in a dream. It's all in a dream. *walks her lockers which is three lockers down and opens it. Quatre falls out* Christ. My god its.its all in a dream. *turns away to Blossom* please pinch me now *Pinched* owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Shit Blossom that hurt!
Blossom: you asked for a pinch, and you got a pinch! Her Quatre, what are you doing here? Same thing for these ultra cute boys. *shows Quatre Duo and Heero*
Quatre: I don't feel so hot.
Mogura: Geez hot is an understatement. You look terrible. Come here and I'll take you to the nurse.
Blossom: I don't think that's a good idea. She might ask questions. But let me feel him first. *feels his forehead with her wrist* Woah! He's got a mega temperature. Maybe I'll figure out a way to get us all home.
Duo: Does home mean food?
Mogura: Great now we have to fit three boys in our apartment.
Blossom: But Mogura! T.T Think about the good side of this. Your wish came true. Let me take care of Quatre for a couple of days, then he'll be as good as new! *anime like pose, with a V symbol* CAUSE I'M A NURSE!!!!!!!!
Mogura: *shakes head* Fine. I'll hack into the school's computer and put in that we ave contracted the Spanish Flu. No come on! *grabs Blossom by the shirt* Let's go I have the keys.
Blossom: Can't I drive? I promise not to go too fast! *halo appears above Blossom's head*
Mogura: Fine now lets go. *drags everyone to her convertible* Quatre sit between Duo and Heero.
Blossom: *takes a plastic bag out of no where* and take this bag with you. Try not to throw up, I'm kind of squeamish.
They all get in the car and Blossom drives like a bat out of you-know- where. While she does that, Mogura does some typing on the laptop with Heero watching her.
Heero: You know, you're almost as good as I am.
Blossom: Heero? Can you keep an eye on Quatre? I asked Duo to, but he's staring at the scenery.
Heero: Fine.
Mogura: Hey Mr. Hacker, I can tell you I'm wayyy more advances then you. Your techniques are like 20 years old.
Blossom: Mogura, stop making him feel bad. Do we have any Pepto-Bismol at home? I think our blonde friend will need it. Also, say that we're on a vacation and we're bringing back some relatives of ours. Then we have enough time to make Quatre feel better and we have a good excuse for having these guys!
Mogura: *types while Blossom tells her what to do* Done.
Heero: What? That takes me at least an hour or two!
Duo: ooooooooooo the girls a better hacker! Heero got whooped by a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heero: hn.
Blossom: *reaches behind her and smacks Duo on the head* Shut up cute man! Mogura's talented at this because she helps me with stealing files. It's a lot of fun, you should try it sometime.
Mogura: *raises an eyebrow at the term "cute man". The car comes to a stop and she gets out* Lets move. Quatre looks a bit green.
Blossom: *turns a bit green herself* NO! I'll open up the apartment, you keep Quatre near a garbage can, and I'm taking these two hot bishie with me. *grabs said bishie and runs towards the apartment building, keys almost flying out of her hands*
Mogura: *raises eyebrow once again at the term "hot bishie"* Thinks if they even so touch her God help their souls. *she helps Quatre up and carries him to the apartment building*
Blossom: *sees Mogura carrying Quatre, who looks slightly less green* You are sooooooooooooo torturing me with him, aren't you? Or can you not trust me with two boys alone? T.T
Mogura: Actually I am more worried about him. He's burning up. Come on Blossom, you're the nurse here. HELP HIM!
Blossom: *taken aback by her force and goes into nurse mode. She opens the door* Ok. Duo, Heero, you'll see the kitchen right on your left. Can you fill up a bowl of cold ice water and take it to me? Mogura, I might need some Tylenol, Pepto-Bismol and Nyquil. Also, can you get some wash clothes? I'll take him into my room and get him a large bowl, just in case he does throw up. Then Mogura, can you get some ginger ale?
Mogura: Ok.
Duo: *from kitchen* What ginger ale? I want a fever.
Blossom: Vernors, and the flat ginger ale helps settle your stomach, and it tastes good both flat and carbonated!
Heero: *also from the kitchen* Where are the damn bowls?
Blossom: *sighs and goes into kitchen* You total bakas. *opens the only cabinet they didn't open and takes out a bowl, then goes over to the sink and turns on the cold water, after a few minutes, she turns it off and takes the bowl out of the sink* Come with me. *they follow her like lost dogs*
Duo: Is Q-man going to be Ok?
Blossom: He's going to be fine. It's probably just a 24-hour flu. *waves good-bye to Mogura, who looks like she doesn't want to leave just in case the boys do something to Blossom*
Heero: *peers at Quatre* Are you totally sure he's going to be ok?
Blossom: Positive.
Mogura: *back from store* I got the non-existent Vernors from Michigan. Duo could you help me with something?
Duo: Sure. *comes over* What do you need, hot lady?
Mogura: *raises eyebrow at the words "hot lady"*
Blossom: Duo, we need you to help me take care of Quatre. Heero, you too.
Duo: Why? We didn't get him sick!
Blossom: *sends him a glare Wufei would be proud of, if he was here* Because I said so, now git!
Quatre: *slowly sits up* Huh? What's going on?
Blossom: *rushes over to him* Don't sit up to quickly Quatre, you need to lie down! *hands him a open can of flat Vernors* Here drink this.
Quatre: *looks at her suspiciously* What is it?
Duo: *coming back from his hiding place* It's flat ginger ale. I can't drink it!
Blossom: You'll get a carbonated version of this stuff, but it depends on how well Mogura knows me. I could drink a case of these in a month!
Mogura: Quatre *winks at Blossom* we are nurses. You have a very high fever and you ned medical attention. We will give you some time to visit with your friends. *she winks at Duo who gets the idea and drags Blossom out and closes the door*
Blossom: *protesting against being dragged by Duo* HEY! GET OFF ME YOU BAKA!!
Mogura: Stop that vulgar language at once Missy. That is not polite now help me clean this up. *gestures to the mess Heero and Duo made looking for a bowl*
Blossom: That's not my fault! Heero and Duo should clean it up! They're the ones who made it!!
Mogura: Oh come on. *both begin to work*
In Blossom's room.
Duo: Q-man are you ok?
Quatre: I feel a bit better, but I'm so cold. *shivers*
Duo: Cold? *feels forehead* Dude! You're burning up! Let me go get the girls. *walks out of room*
Heero: Hn. (translation: Why are you so cold if you have a fever?)
Quatre: I don't know Heero. It's a mystery.
Outside the door, Duo has found the two cleaning up the pots and stuff.
Duo: Hey babes come on. Quatre's burning and he says he's freezing.
Mogura: *raises eyebrow at the word "babes"*
Blossom: *unfazed by the word because she hears it almost everyday* That happens with a fever. I'll bring him some extra blankets. Duo, come with me so you can learn where they are. Mogura, can you get a glass of water, some Tylenol, and make some chicken soup? *leaves room with Duo in tow*
Mogura: *gets a cup full of ice water, finds some Tylenol, and heats up some soup in the microwave. She puts it all on a tray and goes into Blossom's room* Here you are. Are you ok? Here's some stuff to eat. Take the Tylenol first then ok?
Blossom/Duo: *comes in room* AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! How cute!
Quatre: *blushes from both fever and embarrassment* Ok.
Mogura: Here Heero, you help him eat. *red color rises to cheeks as she leaves the room*
Blossom: Hey Duo, did we say anything that might make Mogura blush? It's hard to do. *puts the extra blankets on her bed, covering Quatre with them*
Duo: None that I know of, you?
Blossom: Nope.
In the garage Mogura pulls on a helmet and gets on her motorcycle that she and Blossom share. She decides to go to the park for a walk. Blossom hears the noise coming from the garage.
Blossom: She's off on another trip again. I hope she brings back food. I also hope she's not angry at us. Duo, what the hell are you doing??
Duo: *looking through some of Blossom's drawers* Looking for something for us to wear. We can't wear these clothes forever you know!
Blossom: . Then why are you looking in my underwear drawer instead of in the closets??? Try some of Mogura's clothes. She keeps some guy stuff. Tomorrow, once Mogura comes back, she always does, we'll go shopping for some stuff for you guys to wear.
Duo: *still digging through the underwear drawer* Yeah, whatever.
Blossom: *getting really mad* You'd better not let Mogura know what you're doing. She'd beat you up!
Duo: *looking up from drawer* Really? I'm so scared.
Blossom: You should be. She beat up my boyfriend from 7th grade! Now he doesn't even come near me when I'm with Mogura, in fear of getting a broken arm and leg again. Not to mention his nose.
Duo: *shuts drawer quickly* Okie then. Come on Heero, let's check out the closets instead.
Heero: hn. (translation: no way am I going into a girls closet!)
Duo: Fine. *opens a closet by himself and jumps in surprise* What the hell is all this stuff?
Blossom: *calmly looks at which closet he opened from her position by her bed* You opened my anime closet! I dress up as an anime character for the Big Apple Anime con every year! I have tons of outfits, 'cause I always keep them.
Duo: *shuts closet door, and moves to another one* What about this one?
Blossom: *looks at his closet choice, and smiles a sly smile* Go ahead. But Heero, you might want to catch him incase he faints.
Duo: I NEVER FAINT!!!! *opens door, and falters* Now what would a hot babe like you do with all these guns?
Blossom: *waits for Mogura to raise her eyebrow at the words "hot babe"* Wait a sec. She's not here! Duh! *hits her head with her hand* I'm a sort of killer/thief person. I kill people, then steal their stuff. Usually food or money, since we never have any of either.
Heero: O.O *looks at all her big guns, then at his pun gun* Is there anyway I can take one of yours?
Blossom: NO! These babies are my pride and joy. But I might give you one that I never use if your really nice to me.
Heero: hn (translation: Damn you woman, but I'll try to do it.)
Blossom: Such language! I hear worse from the police. *Duo face faults at the word "police"*
Duo: You've been caught by the police before? How did you escape?
Blossom: I have my ways. But once, they didn't fall for them and Mogura bailed me out. It was great.
Duo: Jail was great?
Blossom: NO! Knowing someone cares about you so much they bail you out of jail is great. That's when we started to live with eachother, since my parents kicked me out of their house for being in jail in the first place.
Mogura enters back from her ride sporting a new haircut.
Mogura: Who wants sushi!
Heero: Thank god real food!!!!
Blossom/Duo: ewwwwwwwwwwwww.
Mogura: I figured for you guys.. Did somebody say.......McDonalds?
Blossom/Duo: We bow down before you!
Quatre: Did you guys forget me?
Mogura: *blushing* Er, no. Here, I picked you up some Sweet and Sour soup. It's my favorite.
Everyone but Quatre goes to sit at the dining room table and Duo takes a good look at the girls. He looks at Blossom first. She has long dirty blonde hair in a messy braid that rivaled his in length, and she had pink streaks in it. She also had sweet blue eyes. She wore a light pink shirt that had a low neckline that he was sure Mogura disapproved of. He then turned his sight to the over-protective sister. She had her black hair cut short so she looked like a guy from the back. She was wearing a black t- shirt and leather jacket. Actually Duo would of thought she was a he if she didn't have the tell-tale curves on her front. He then observed that Blossom was curvier than her sister was.
Mogura: Duo??? What are you staring at?
Blossom: *puts finger to lips and brings back her hand and hits him SLAM! On the back of his head* Wake up you baka!
Mogura: Whatever. Ok so what were you guys doing while I went for a ride?
Blossom: *smiling an evil smile* Well Duo was looking at my.
Duo: *interrupts* Shut up. *looks at Mogura fearfully* err I'm going to go check on Q-man. *gets up and leaves*
Blossom: *looking disappointed she didn't get to bust Duo* So Heero, what do you do for a living?
Heero: hn (translation: why should I tell you?)
Blossom: because I'm sooooo nice and you think I'm cute.
Heero: Hn. (translation: You can't make me bitch)
Blossom: *takes a gun out of no where and points it to Heero's head* I can make you do whatever I want.
Heero: Fine. I'm a Gundam Pilot OK?
Blossom: hmmmm (translation: let me think about it.)
Mogura: Well it looks like everyone's done. Lets clean up and get some sleep.
Blossom: What about karaoke? (A/N: Blossom. I don't know how to spell that.)
Mogura: Maybe after you go check on Quatre.
Blossom: OK! *gets up and leaves*
Mogura: *shakes her head* Come on Heero you help me wash.
Heero: Whatever. *they get up*
In the bedroom.
Blossom: Well Quatre, your fever is finally going down. You should be as good as new tomorrow.
Quatre: Thanks Blossom. *blushes then points at a machine* By the way, what's that?
Blossom: *smiles* It's a karaoke machine. I love to sing, so Mogura got me one for my birthday last year.
Quatre: Oh.
Blossom: I'll sing later. Get some sleep. We go to the mall tomorrow.
Quatre: Ok. *Blossom and Duo exit the room*
Blossom: *walks into the living room to see Mogura helping make a bed on the couch* So I guess you and me will sleep in your bed and Duo and Heero sleep here?
Duo: No way. Sleeping with Heero will probably be like sleeping on a rock all night. I'll sleep on the floor. *gestures to assorted blankets on the floor*
Mogura: fine with me. *tosses them 2 big t-shirts* You guys can wear them. They're t-shirts to sleep in.
Duo: *already taking off his shirt* Cool. Thanks a lot.
Blossom: *drools at Duo's bare chest in front of her* Nice body Duo.
Mogura: *covers Blossom's eyes. Eyebrow goes up at the words "Nice body"* I think not. Come on Blossom you and I need to get ready for bed and you're definitely changing in my room.
Blossom: But what about karaoke? You said I could.
Mogura: No special outfits tonight. Tomorrow.
Blossom: ^.^ OK! *runs to her room to grab some clothes* Come on Mogura. We should get changed, then we need to drag the machine here so the bishie can listen!
Mogura: *shakes her head and drags Blossom to her room across the hall, Blossom is to happy to notice*
A couple of minutes later, the machine was in the living room, with enough room for Blossom to sing and dance in. Mogura carried Quatre in the room because he said he wanted to watch and Blossom said it was ok since his fever was down.
Blossom: What should I sing, Mogura?
Mogura: 'Goodbye' by Natalie Imbrugllia. It's so wonderful, and you sing it so well.
Blossom: *nods and puts in the CD. She flicks to the song and starts singing* Everyday's the same, I feel them merge/ I try to separate, resist the urge/ But they tell me I'll be fine/ that it will all get better/ Just try to write it down/ Or put it in a letter/ But the words won't play/ cause there's no easy way to say/ Goodbye, Goodbye/ Keep my head on straight and don't look down/ With all I've pushed around I'm losing ground/ But they tell me I'll be fine/ that it will all get better/ Just try to write it down/ or put it in a letter/ but the words won't play/ cause there's no easy way to say/ Goodbye, Goodbye/ And from all the sidelines/ Watch me fall down/ And I don't understand the things I do/ But I'll probably be fine/ As long as I keep on moving/ I'll try to write it down/ So things just keep improving/ Still the words won't play/ cause there's no easy way to say/ Goodbye, Goodbye/ Goodbye, Goodbye
All GW boys: *stare at Blossom in shock that she can sing that well*
Mogura: *starts clapping, tears in her eyes* I always love it when Blossom sings that song!
Duo: Were you lip-syncing?
Blossom: *proud of herself* Nope! *tries to sing the next one, but Mogura stops her*
Mogura: Tomorrow. *she shuts off the machine to save on the electricity*
Blossom: *sighs and lets herself be dragged to Mogura's room to sleep* Good night boys! *blows a kiss to them before she goes in the door*
Quatre: O.O wow. She's a really good singer. Good Night Duo, Heero.
Duo/Heero: Good night.
After a lot of sleep, Blossom wakes up to the smell of pancakes and oranges.
Blossom: *comes in kitchen* Yum. Pancakes!
GW boys: *stare at her and get nosebleeds*
Blossom: What?
Mogura: Blossom, your shirt.
Blossom: *looks down to see that it isn't there* Oopsie. Guess I threw it off during the night.
Mogura: *frowns* You did. I woke up with it on my face
Blossom: *blushes* sorry. *grabs a towel from the stove and makes a makeshift tube top* Better?
Mogura: Kind of. But at least it covers.
Blossom: *sighs and goes to get some disinfectant and some paper towels*
Mogura: Where are you going?
Blossom: They're getting blood all over the table.
Mogura: *looks* Shit. You're right.
Blossom: *comes back* Now I have to wake them up.
Mogura: I'll do it. *pours ice cold water over their heads*
Duo/Quatre: THAT'S COLD!
Heero: HN! (translation: DAMN YOU MOGURA!)
Blossom: *frowns* Get up. I have to disinfect the table. You got blood all over it. *they obey, avoiding eye contact with both women. Blossom wipes off all the blood and disinfects it*
Duo: why did you come in like that?
Blossom: *blushes* I got hot during the night, which is weird, since Mogura kept the fan going all night.
Mogura: I was fine.
Quatre: If you were cold, how come you took your shirt off?
Blossom: *blushes* When I'm cold, I burrow under the sheets, then I get hot and I take my shirt off.
GW boys: *stare*
Heero: hn (translation: and you offered her your bed why?)
Mogura: *sighs* because she's my sister and I'm supposed to be sisterly.
Blossom: *sticks her tongue out at her* I could've been fine in the kitchen.
Mogura: *frowns* Too close to the guys.
Blossom: *sighs and shakes her head* Let me get dressed, then we'll all go shopping. OK? *walks out of room*
Mogura: *yells after her* I have to check your outfit before we leave!
Blossom: *sighs from room* OK!
Blossom comes out of her room wearing a low-cut belly shirt and short shorts.
Mogura: *looks at shirt, b/c Blossom always wears those shorts* No.
Blossom: *sighs and goes back in her room* Fine.
Everyone hears drawers being opened and closed, and some swearing. Blossom comes out, wearing only her bra and the shorts.
Blossom: *smiles sweetly at Duo* Duo, what time did you get up?
Duo: Six thirty.
Mogura: *eyes her outfit* Why?
Blossom: *ignores her* Do you have any idea what happened to all my clothes?
Duo: *halo appears over his head* Noooooo.
Mogura: *thinking* Where did that halo come from? *talking* Is that your final answer?
Duo: *gulps* Yes.
Mogura: *raises eyebrow for the sake of raising it and cracks knuckles* Sure?
Duo: OK!! I hid them!
Blossom: Where?
Duo: Ask the Perfect Soldier.
Heero: Omoe o korosu. (A/N: Blossom again. I dunno how to spell that either! Help me plz!)
Blossom/Mogura: I'm sorry, but under no circumstances do we allow killing in the house.
Heero: *lowers gun* Fine.
Duo: They're under the couch.
Blossom: Thank you. *skips to the living room and more curses are heard* SHIT! Why did we have to have this couch? It's so damn heavy! *cursing stops and they hear footsteps in the bathroom*
A couple minutes later, Blossom comes back in the kitchen wearing a yellow halter top and the short shorts. Her hair was down except for a red bow in her hair.
Duo: *drools at her* What's the bow for?
Blossom: My favorite Sailor Scouts are Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus. I dressed up like Rei once for the Anime Con, and this year I'm going as Minako. I'm practicing!
Duo: Oh. What about you Mogura?
Mogura: Later. Come on lets go! *drags Blossom out of house before she can put on her makeup, which takes several hours*
Half an hour later, they arrived at the mall. It had every store imaginable. The group got out of the car, looking wind slapped, since Mogura allowed Blossom to drive once again.
Duo: I'm never going in that car with you again!
Blossom: *twinkle in eye* Never?
Mogura: *raises eyebrow at the twinkle*
Duo: *mumbles something Blossom can hear but Mogura can't*
Mogura: What was that Duo?
Duo: Nothing!
Blossom: *grabs Mogura's arm and drags her in front of a store* Let's go in this one!
Duo: *looks at what the store was called, mouth drops open* Spandex-R-Us? Why are we here?
Heero: *grunts and walks in*
Blossom: *starts to walk in too but is held back by Mogura* Hey! Let me go!
Mogura: *lets her go and walks by* You stay here *walks in store*
Blossom: *yells to her* Fine. I'll stay here with DUO! *looks around for Duo* Duo?
Duo: *pokes his head out of a nearby store called Priests R Us* Wha?
Blossom: What are you doing?
Duo: *pulls his head back in* Lookin.
Blossom: *shakes head, sits down on a nearby bench*
In the spandex store.
Mogura: *walks in just as Heero looks ready to pull out his gun* Hey Heero over here. *walks over to him*
Quatre: *tries to blend in with the background*
Heero: The damn salesmen won't give me the spandex I need!
Mogura: *sighs and settles score*
Outside, a suspicious looking person comes to Blossom.
Angelo: Well, well, well. What do we have here?
Blossom: *not realizing it was him* Go away bastard.
Angelo: *comes into her view* Really? I thought you loved me.
Blossom: *getting scared, but hiding it* Go away.
Angelo: *advancing on her* No. *kisses her*
Blossom: *tries to scream, to pull away, but can't in Angelo's crushing hands*
In the priest store, on the other hand.
Duo: *at the cash register* I wonder how Blossom's doing alone.
Register Man: *solemn* How are you going to pay for this, disciple of Christ?
Duo: ummmm. Hang on a sec ok?
Register Man: *looks around empty store* Not like this place is full of disciples.
Duo: Right. Thanks. *runs out of store*
Outside, Angelo stopped kissing Blossom finally.
Blossom: *shaking from fright* Damn it! Get away from me! It's your fault I'm in this mess anyway!
Angelo: You resisted, I had to show you the glory of it.
Blossom: You know, a good boyfriend doesn't pressure his girlfriend into sex!
Angelo: *faking a sad look* I wasn't a good boyfriend?
Blossom: *opens her mouth to say something, but Angelo kisses her silent again. Blossom once again tries to pull away, but he has her in a sort of lip lock*
Duo: *coming toward the bench they're at* Wha? *freezes*
In spandex store.
Mogura: *pays for clothes* Come on Heero, Quatre. Let's go see how Blossom and Duo are doing. *they walk out*
Now, all of them are outside near the bench.
Mogura: *freezes in tracks at the two people on the bench* God. Can't people get a room?
Duo: *slaps himself awake* Mogura! Blossom's being attacked by some odd guy! He's kissing her on the bench right now.
Mogura/Heero/Quatre: WHAT?????????????
Mogura: What does he look like?
Duo: He's right there. *points to the bench Mogura made a comment about before*
Mogura: Oh God.
Angelo: *finally pulls away and looks behind him* We have company.
Blossom: GET OFF ME YOU FREAK!!!
Angelo: *wags his finger in her face, but gets off anyway* Temper, temper.
Blossom: You'll feel more than my temper once I'm done with you!
Mogura: *snaps her fingers, lightbulb appears over her head* I got it!
Duo/Quatre: Got what?
Heero: hn? (translation: Where did that lightbulb come from?)
Mogura: Duo, you go restrain Blossom before she kills our guest. Quatre, Heero, turn our guest around. *they go to do their appointed jobs*
Blossom: *trying to escape Duo's arms* Let me go! I need to kill the bastard for real! He's the one who put me in jail!
Duo: *turns her around so she's facing him* No. Mogura will take care of it.
Blossom: *calming down a little bit, and is now crying* But Mogura's been taking care of everything! It makes me mad sometimes!
Duo: *comforting her* Shh. It'll be ok.
Blossom: *breaks down and collapses in Duo's arms, crying*
Duo: *looks at Mogura, whose face is blank as she beats up Angelo* I hate to be that guy. *sits down with Blossom in arms still*
Register Man: Young disciple, are you going to come back in and pay for your holy clothes made by the hands of God?
Blossom: *stops crying and gets up* I'll deal with it Duo. Come on. *walks to the store with shaky legs and falls once* Ow.
Duo: *helps her up* Come on. I'll help you.
Blossom: *smiles a dazzling smile* Thanks. *together they walk into the store and Blossom pays for the stuff*
Duo: *bows down before her* Thank you almighty Goddess!
Blossom: *laughs so hard she falls down again* Stop it! That's too funny!
Mogura: *kicks Angelo's lifeless looking form* That takes care of him.
Blossom: *frowns down at him* Did you leave him alive?
Mogura: Unfortunately, yes. You'd kill me if I'd killed him.
Blossom: Damn straight.
Mogura: *finally sees who's holding Blossom straight* Maxwell.
Duo: *gulps but doesn't let go of her*
Mogura: *growls threateningly* Let go.
Duo: Can't.
Blossom: If he did, I'd be on the floor right now.
Mogura: *sighs and gives in* Come on Quatre-kun. Let's finish. We've got to get home so I can see if Blossom has any injuries.
Blossom: None.
Duo: *at the same time* Some.
Blossom: *turns her head and sticks her tongue out at him* Meanie.
Duo: Protective.
Blossom: Pervert.
Duo: *shrugs* Guilty.
Mogura: Blossom, you stay out here with Heero. Duo, I don't trust you, so you're coming in with me. Come on Quatre. *Duo sets Blossom down on a nearby bench reluctantly and follows Mogura and Quatre into a store called Arabian Nights*
Heero: *sits down next to Blossom and keeps his gun handy*
Blossom: Don't worry. Angelo's the only sick-o who would try to make out with me when I'm at the mall. Everyone knows I don't go anywhere without Mogura. I wish I could though. *sighs*
Heero: Why?
Blossom: Why what?
Heero: Why do you wish you didn't have to everywhere with Mogura?
Blossom: *leans back into a comfortable position* She's so protective. She thinks every guy who looks at me wants to have sex with me. After a scare like what just happened, she's going to tighten my leash. I can't talk to some guys at my school without her next to me. It gets kinda annoying.
Heero: Could you run away?
Blossom: I could, but she would find me somehow. Plus, I would probably get a job as a bartender, and once I leave, Mogura would start to drink her sorrows away. *she shuts up as Mogura, Quatre and Duo come out carrying bags* Never mind.
Duo: *rushes over to her* Have fun with the Perfect Soldier?
Heero: Maxwell.
Duo: *shocked* He didn't threaten to kill me! It's a miracle!
Blossom: *laughs* Hot Topic. Now. Please?
Mogura: *frowns* I hate that place.
Blossom: Please??? After that, Delia's. Promise!
Mogura: Fine. We're not getting much in there though.
Blossom: *smiles an innocent smile and crosses her fingers behind her back. Duo, Heero and Quatre who are behind her, try not to laugh, only Heero's succeeding* Right. *she runs into a store with the music blasting Avril Lavine's Sk8er Boi and starts pulling things off shelves*
Mogura: *shakes her head* And it starts again. Save us, hopefully she doesn't buy out the store again. If we spend anymore money, we'll have to do a job again. I don't have anything set up! This totally sucks.
Duo: *walks into store wincing at the loud music which is now playing Blink 182's Online Songs* You say something Mogura?
Mogura: *walks into store where Blossom is at the check out desk talking to the Sales man* No.
Blossom: And then I said, 'I don't flirt! I talk, but I don't flirt.' It got me really pissed, you know? I mean, it was a total insult!
Sales Guy: *lost in her eyes* Right.
Mogura: Stop talking now Blossom. Are you done? *whispers* Once we get home, get out your feline outfit. We're going to have a job tonight.
Blossom: *also whispering* Ok. Maroon, Dark Purple, Dark Blue, or Black?
Mogura: Don't care. Ask the guys. Talk to them while I pay.
Blossom: *in normal voice* Got it! *skips away*
An hour later, Blossom, Mogura, Duo, Heero, and Quatre all come out of the mall with many bags. Most of them are Blossom's.
Mogura: I'm driving. You get to pick the place this time.
Blossom: Right. And it's going to be Maroon.
Mogura: *nods* Bank?
Blossom: *pulls out map conveniently kept in the holder thing all cars have.* Of America. We haven't done that one yet.
Duo: What are you two babes talking about?
Mogura: *raises her eyebrow at the word "babes"*
Blossom: *giggles* I'm thinking of ways to seduce you without Mogura killing you.
Mogura: *growls* No you won't.
Blossom: Kidding!! *whispers to Duo* I'll figure it out someday.
Duo: *grins like a little boy given candy*
Quatre: Is there such thing as a Bank of America?
Blossom: Yeah. It's huge! It's like where everyone in the state deposits his or her money. Actually, they deposit it at a branch of it, but this is the main place, and it's where all their money goes. It's really rich, but it has a lot of security.
Heero: hn? (translation: How does a person get past it if they want to rob it?)
Duo: And why did you want us to pick a color?
Mogura: Later. And tomorrow, if Blossom doesn't wake up before noon, don't worry.
Blossom: It's natural.
The hours pass, until all the guys are in bed. Blossom and Mogura are in the garage, talking quietly.
Mogura: Ready?
Blossom: *zipping up her cat suit* Yup. Just about. *puts on helmet*
Mogura: *types something on her laptop, and closes it. She then pulls out a mini microphone and speaks into it* All secure. Ready to launch.
Blossom: *nods helmet, signaling Mogura to open the garage door, and revving the motorcycle quietly because of the extra muffler* Launch away. *the garage door opens and Blossom speeds off into the night*
In the living room, the G-boys were actually awake and wondering what Blossom was doing on the motorcycle.
Duo: Wonder what she's up to?
Heero: Robbing a bank.
Duo/Quatre: WHAT? Why would she do that?
Heero: Money. *he gets up and walks over to where he kept the clothes he came in. he opens up a hidden pocket in his shorts and pulls out a remote control and presses a button* a ride will be her in a minute, get dressed.
Duo: Why? Where are we going?
Quatre: Who would assign us a mission here?
Heero: Me. Get dressed. *reluctantly, they do so, and follow Heero's lead of jumping out the window onto a open-top convertible.*
In the Bank of America.
Blossom: *whispering into the mask she slipped over her head after putting her motorcycle in a safe place that's easily accessible* Ok Mogura. I'm in. Now what? *she hears Mogura's voice in her head, and follows it exactly and soon finds the safe*
In the safe.
Duo: *whispering* Heero, what are we doing here? Why are we in a safe?
Heero: We're waiting for a guest. *the door opens quietly, and someone in a maroon cat suit enters and sees them*
Blossom: *shock and whispering* Mogura! We've got a problem!
Mogura's voice: what is it Blossom? The coast was clear!
Blossom: Go check on the guys.
Mogura's voice: They aren't....
Blossom: They are.
Mogura's voice: SHIT! Grab money and leave ASAP! We can't let them catch you!
Heero: Drop the mask Blossom. We don't want to hurt you.
Blossom: This is my problem, not yours!
Duo: But why?
Blossom: I'm only getting two stacks of money. It's a sort of revenge on my ex and my parents.
Quatre: You're risking going to jail for REVENGE?
Blossom: *tears welling up behind her mask* You don't get it.
Heero: *walks toward her quickly and grabs her mask* Try me.
Blossom: *presses a button on her palm, and smoke comes out of the mask. Blossom puts on a air mask* I will.
G-Boys: *fall to floor*
Blossom: *presses another button and they disappear* Sorry guys. I have to do this. *grabs money out of two places and leaves two notes there* I wish I didn't have to do this, but hate and anger press me on. The only way out is love, or a good paying job with cute boys. *she jumps to a window and climbs out of it. Taking the bag of money, she jumps onto the motorcycle and speeds off into the night, crying*
At the apartment the next morning.
Mogura: *looking at the clock and thinking* Where's Blossom? I got the money, but not her. Not even a note. I hope they didn't tell her anything.
Duo: *coming into the kitchen yawning* Mogura? Where's Blossom? It's almost 10:00!
Heero: What did she do to us?
Mogura: *ignoring the questions and puts out her hand* Mask. Give it.
Quatre: *also coming in yawning with the mask* Here you go.
Mogura: Thank you. *phone rings and Mogura races to get it* Hello?
Voice on phone: Is Blossom there?
Mogura: No. May I take a message?
Voice on phone: Can you tell her to call Zack? It's really important.
Mogura: *frowns. She doesn't like Zack* Sure. Whatever. I'll tell her as soon as she gets home. Bye. *she hangs up*
Duo: Who was it?
Mogura: A guy that likes Blossom. His name is Zack. I hate him. *frowns*
Quatre: You think Blossom will ever come back? *just as he finishes saying that, Blossom comes in*
Blossom: *looking flushed and singing* Oooooooo Rock me Amadeus! (A/N: B. It's an inside joke between me and my good friend James)
Mogura: Where were you? I was worried when you sent only the money!
Blossom: *frowns* That not true! I sent the hot bishie too! *winks at Duo and Heero. Duo blushes, while Heero's eyes widen a fraction of an inch*
Mogura: *raises eyebrow at the words "hot bishie" and the wink* Zack called. He told me to tell you to call him back.
Blossom: *blood drains away from her face* Give me the phone! NOW!
Mogura: What does he want?
Blossom: *blushes* Nothing.
Duo: Where were you last night anyway?
Blossom: *shoots him a look* MYOB.
Duo: Huh?
Mogura: *hands Blossom the cordless phone, who runs into her room and locks the door* Mind your own Business.
Duo: Oh.
Heero: *goes over to Blossom's locked door and listens in on her side of the conversation*
In the room.
Blossom: Zack! I was drunk!
Zack: And that means what?
Blossom: I didn't mean to make out with you. I barely remember anything!
Zack: And yet you hide it well. Were you actually drunk?
Blossom: Yes, why?
Zack: You didn't look it. A drunk girl doesn't act the way you did.
Blossom: Be glad Mogura can't hear anything. If she could, she'd kill you!
Zack: I know that! When are you going to be back in school?
Blossom: Soon. I'm supposed to be on vaka (pronounced vay-kay), remember?
Zack: But I miss you. Brianna, Kim, and Antares have been hanging all over me once they found out you were gone.
Blossom: But we aren't going out!
Zack: Wanna try?
Blossom: What? Going out?
Zack: Yeah.
Blossom: Can't.
Zack: Why not?
Blossom: Mogura, other guys that like me that would kill you. Shall I go on?
Zack: No. I'll call later. James' here right now.
Blossom: Tell him I said, "OOOOOOO Rock Me Amadeus!"
Zack: Will do.
Blossom: Bye. *she hangs up and calls.* You can stop listening now Heero!
Outside during the conversation.
Mogura: *whispering* What's she saying Heero?
Heero: Hn. (translation: something about being drunk.)
Mogura: DRUNK?????? I'll kill her!
Duo: No you won't. There's got to be a perfectly logical explanation for this!
Blossom: *voice sound muffled* You can stop listening now Heero! *door opens and Blossom comes out, looking pissed* You stoop to such low standards? I'm ashamed!
Mogura: What do you mean, DRUNK?
Blossom: None of your business!
Duo: You made out with someone we don't know?
Blossom: I know him! He's a really good friend of mine!
Mogura: Who happens to be a guy you like.
Blossom: Big deal! I like lots of guys! Like Duo and Heero, for instance!
Duo: Really?
Heero: *thinking* Oh no.
Mogura: Out. Now.
Blossom: I was about to go out anyway! *grabs her jacket and some other clothes and leaves*
Quatre: *standing shocked* You didn't mean that, did you?
Mogura: She'll come back. As for where she goes, I have no idea.
Heero: *opening his laptop* She went to Zack's house. Apparently, she always goes there when you tell her to leave.
Mogura: WHAT?????? WHY?
Heero: Don't ask me.
Duo: Should we follow her?
Heero: No. She'll be leaving his house soon anyway. He'll be with her.
Mogura: We will follow her. *grits teeth* Once I find her, I'll kill Zack.
Quatre: Please don't.
Mogura: Whatever. *grabs jacket* You guys coming or not? *the boys nod and follow her, Heero brining his laptop to keep track of where Blossom goes*
Where Blossom, Zack and James are.
James: Once again, she tells you to leave.
Zack: *driving to the clubbing part of town* Why does she do that anyway?
Blossom: I have no idea. *Zack pulls into the parking lot of a club named Club Scouts (A/N: interesting, ne?)*
Guard: Names?
Blossom: Arianna Sky and friends.
Guard: Nice to see you again Sky. Will you sing tonight?
Blossom: Maybe. Is Adam here?
Guard: Everyday. You're clothes are in the back.
Blossom: *send him a smile that melts a guys heart* Thanks Greg. Come on guys. I need to change.
Zack: I'll never get over you getting into every club in town just by changing your name.
James: It's so freaky.
Blossom: True. Can you guys get the usual spots at the bar while I change? I need it badly.
Zack: Sure. I'll tell Adam you're here too.
Blossom: Thanks.
Outside the club, the others are arguing with the Guard.
Guard: I let no one in today named Blossom.
Heero: What about an Arianna? Arianna Sky?
Guard: She came a few minutes ago with two male friends. Looked kinda sad. She might be singing tonight. Be on the lookout, she sings like a dream. Are you four friends of hers?
Mogura: *getting steamed* You could say that.
Guard: Ok then. You can go in. *he moves aside for them*
At the bar. (A/N: Blossom is going to be called Arianna now, or Air, as some call her. The name change is because everyone at the club knows her as that.)
Arianna: *coming back, wearing a micro-mini skirt and a cropped maroon and blue halter top, with glitter in her hair, which is also streaked dark blue, and her eyes looked smoky. Her skin had glitter on it too, and her lips were a peach color. In other words, she was drop-dead-gorgeous* Hi guys. Sorry it took so long. I couldn't decide what to wear.
James: It's ok.
Zack: Yeah. It's ok.
Bartender: *coming over* AIR! Finally you come back. No problems with Mo lately?
Arianna: Hi Adam. None in at least a month.
Zack: Speaking of Mogura, she just walked in with three guys. She looks so pissed.
Arianna: *looking behind her* Shit. I think I'll go sing something. Any suggestions?
James: Something by S Club 7.
Arianna: *over at the DJ* Right. Umm. The Color Of Blue by S Club 7 please.
DJ: Sure.
Arianna: *on stage, crowd quiets and watched Arianna on stage starting to sing* I have always wondered How it can be done, to pick the one Who's gonna be the lover for life, baby Be there to hold me, through the night When it happens, you can see it in his eyes They tell no lies Brighter than the sky in July, my baby Cooler than anyone I've known
The colour of blue Reminds me of you I never see gray, green, black You're true The colour of blue No other will do In my heart I only feel The colour of blue
I say, of you ever felt the way I do, then lucky you So never go for less than a perfect thing Seek and then hopefully you'll find There's a rhythm and a rhyme you gotta find it. Then you'll see 'Cause baby, we can go on all night just dancing Doin' it till the break of dawn
The colour of blue Reminds me of you I never see gray, green, black You're true The colour of blue No other will do In my heart I only feel The colour of blue
In the rainbow I can see, colours of misbelief There is only one for me, and it will forever be
The colour of blue Reminds me of you I never see gray, green, black You're true The colour of blue No other will do In my heart I only feel The colour of blue
Crowd: ARI! ARI! AIR! WE LOVE YOU ARIANNA!!!!!!!!
Heero: And that would be Blossom.
Mogura: Maybe, but then where's Zack?
Quatre: Not to mention the other guy. *looks at Duo who's drooling* Duo? Are you ok?
Zack: *gets up from bar* Come on James. Lets go see Mo and company.
James: Right. *follows him, and Arianna catches up*
Arianna: Where are you going?
Zack: To see Mo.
Arianna: *gulps*
Heero: We have company.
Mogura: *looks up from her spot near Duo to see the trio coming torwards them* Oh no. How did they know we were here?
Zack: I can answer that. James and I saw you come in.
Arianna: Why are you here?
Mogura: I think I should be the one asking that question, Blossom!
Fan: *coming up to Arianna* Ms. Sky? Can I have your autograph?
Arianna: *smiling at the boy* Sure. *signs the paper the fan holds out to her* There you go
Fan: Thank you! *runs away*
Duo: Arianna Sky? You're Arianna Sky? I've heard about you! All the clubs I went to before I went on any missions had you performing! You're sensational!
Arianna: Duo? Are you ok?
Adam: *abandoning his post at the bar* Air? It's almost closing time. Here's your money.
Arianna: Thanks Adam. *takes wad Adam holds out to her*
Adam: Hi Mogura.
Mogura: How do you know me?
Adam: Everyone who works here knows that Air always comes here when Mo tells her to go away. She sings and dances her frustrations away. In fact, she was here yesterday, crying her eyes out.
Mogura: Why?
Adam: Something about knocking out her true love or something like that. Though yesterday she drank away her sadness. Soon after, Air and Zack disappeared into her dressing room
Arianna: *shocked at Adam* ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're too observant!
Zack: Way too observant.
Mogura: *eye twitching* Thank you Adam. But I'm afraid Arianna must leave now. *drags her and a star-struck Duo outside*
Quatre: How high of a tolerance does Arianna have when it comes to alcohol?
Adam: It takes about 100 of my strongest stuff to get her drunk.
Zack: How many did she have?
Adam: Only one, but she's a pretty good actress.
Quatre: O.O come on Heero, let's go.
Heero: *follows Quatre, eyes wide at her tolerance*
Zack: I KNEW SHE WAS ONLY ACTING!!!!!!!
James: Come on buddy, let's go. You don't want to trash the place. *drags a very angry Zack outside*
Adam: *shrugs* That girl has to figure out what guy she likes more. It's either Zack, that Duo guy, that Heero dude, or Angelo.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~ *~*~*~*
WHAT? DOES BLOSSOM ACTUALLY LIKE ANGELO?
MoonGun: Ok. Calm down. It'll be ok.
Right. Whatever you say.
Both: REVIEW!!!!!!!!
Duo/Quatre/Heero: *comes into room*
MoonGun: QUATRE!!!!!!!!! *glomps*
Katrina: DUO!!!!! HEERO!!!!!!!!! *glomps both* Part 1a is over finally! Thank god! Watch out for Part 1b!!
