The Valentine's Day Dance Chapter 1
Disclaimer: The only characters I own here are Juniper and Hart. I do NOT own Duo and Quatre. Though I wish I did! Please read and review! This is my first fan fic, so don't kill me! I know it's really weird, but if I get the second chapter up (eventually) it might get better. I hope. This is the strangest thing I've ever written.
Hart's fingers moved over the keys of his computer with quick ease. The light from the computer lit up the otherwise dark room and bounced off of the chocolate brown hair of the boy standing next to him.
"Good afternoon, Duo," Hart greeted the boy, just noticing him. "What can I do for you today?" He looked away from the screen.
Duo blushed slightly. "Um, well, you see..."
"You need a date for the dance?" Hart smiled when Duo nodded. "Everybody is coming to me for that." He turned around in his swivel chair.
"Well," Duo looked around at the complex computer systems scattered around the cramped room. "Your computers are so helpful... You've got everything from Spanish dictionaries to files of people... How did you get these files of people, anyway?"
Hart laughed. "I simply hacked into the town's main computer and collected the names of the people. I divided them up into groups of boys and girls and arranged them by age group. The files came with pictures and vital statistics. I added the character traits on my own." He winked. "Aren't I brilliant?"
Duo nodded somewhat speechlessly.
"Okay, give me a trait that you like in a girl." Hart turned to a large computer.
"Ano...(umm.)" Duo tapped his chin. "Well, I don't know... Smart?"
Hart quickly typed the trait into the age 16 search column and pushed enter. A list of names popped up. "You got a huge response to that. People in this colony tend to be naturally smart. Give me another one."
"Strong," Duo replied. "That should narrow it down a bit."
Hart nodded. "Yes, the computer is having trouble coming up with answers to that search." The computer did a corner fade out and faded back in with a list of vital statistics. "Name: Juniper Star Swift, Height: 5'6", weight: 106 lbs... Wow, she's skinny!"
Duo smiled. "She sounds nice... She's taller than I am, but that doesn't matter. Let's see the picture."
Hart punched a key and the pictured rolled on. He gasped. "Oh my! She's the girl who lives with the boys!"
Duo raised his eyebrows. "She doesn't LOOK gay..." he eyed the girl with semi-long dark brown hair, deep brown eyes, and a pointy nose.
Hart laughed. "Of course she's not gay! If she was, I'd have her in a different file!" He gasped for air because he was laughing so hard. "No, the only reason she lives with the boys is because she trains with them as well. Hah, no wonder she's listed as strong! She's an amazing fencer, an outstanding horseback rider, and is a talented martial artist."
"She sounds perfect!" Duo stated, pushing the print button to print Juniper's school and training schedule. "Sheesh, do you have everybody's schedule?"
"Of course... The school computers have everybody's schedule on them."
"Do you think I have a chance with her?" Duo asked hopefully.
Hart shook his head. "No offense, but no way. Every boy who has asked her out has been turned down." He went back to the vital statistics. "In fact, she's been available for two years."
There was a knock on the door and Duo and Hart turned around.
"Duo, hayaku (hurry), we have to get ready for the banquet!"
"Coming, Quatre!" Duo called back. He turned to Hart, his long brain swishing. "Introduce her to me anyway, will you?"
Hart winked. "She'll be introduced at the banquet, believe me."
"Huh, what do you-"
"Duooo!" Quatre called again.
