Disclaimer: Nothing from the Gundam Universe doesn't belong to me. But I wished I had the Gundam Fist going through the wall in the Kiddyland of Denden Town. That would make an interesting story to tell people.

Author's Note: So…I'm horrible with deadlines, even ones I give myself. Oops. I have a couple of projects that I am working on so I've been working on those to finish. And I went to visit relatives who do not have a computer so no internet so I haven't been able to upload anything. But I did get lots of cool old pictures. Since this is my first time actually writing something that isn't a school paper, I think I now know what I will do with this story. If there's any suggestions or comments then free feel to review or send me a message.

Chapter 4: With or Without You

Sunday at the County Library

Heero arrived an hour early to the library. Across from the library was a church with a clock on its tower. Heero wasn't one for meeting nor waiting for people. He would have rather done the project himself and work on various missions instead of having to work with Erica. It was now 6:57 and Erica still hasn't appeared and Heero still hasn't moved from his location causing various of locals to stare at the strange kid glaring at the church.

2 minutes and 30 seconds remain. If she doesn't show at 7 pm exactly then I will not wait for her.

1 minute and 30 seconds…20 seconds….9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3,2,1, and 0.

The church chimed 7 times to show that it was now 7 o' clock. Heero started to walk away from the library when he heard running followed by a shout, "Heero!" Before he had time to turn, Erica tackled him to the ground.

"Please tell me you weren't seriously gonna leave. I mean there is such a thing as fashionable late which is lik 10 minutes late. It's common curtesy to wait that lose at least." Erica panted sitting on Heero.

"You have 10 seconds to get off of me or I will shot you." Heero could only glare at the girl above him wondering why he always got some girl yelling his name.

That caused Erica to jump immediately to her feet allowing Heero to get up. "Sorry. Totally didn't notice. But I'm on time which is rare for me. It's 7."Erica cheerfully stated with a sweatdrop. I hope to any all mighty dieity that he doesn't have a gun in his house. I can see his antisocial self coming to school with it causing a lockdown. Hell since I'm the only person who talks to him I'd probably be on his list of people to knock off…

"No you are not on time. A couple of seconds passed after 7 which makes you late. Which means that I will not work with you on this project but work by myself. "

"WHAT! What a second. You said 'Meet by 7pm.' I came at 7. So a couple of seconds passed. Do I look like I can freeze time? I'm on time so we still work on this together." Erica replied preparing to force Heero to work with her.

"'By 7' means exactly 7. This is unacceptable. Your grades are of no concern to me. I am willing to request a different subject for this project and work on it by myself." Heero started to turn preparing to leave again.

"But why work alone? I mean 'two heads are better than one.'"

"If the second head is you, then it's safer to only use one according to your records." As if anyone wanted to work with you, you jerk!. I'd rather walk on fire. I'm a saint for just trying to talk to you, Erica thought but verbal replied with, "Sometimes there comes a moment where we have to do things we don't want to." Like talk to you! "But it's part of being a team right?"

Heero continued to walk ignoring Erica. "There's no consequence from not working with you. Good luck with your project," He said without turning to look at Erica. If he did he would have probably seen Erica's face change from devastated to determined. Heero Yuy! I'll be damned if I fail this class because of you. If this was a 'mission' that my 'mission' will be to tempt you into working with me. Failure isnt an option for me. Just wait till we're at school.

Heero on his way to his home only had one thought, I'm finally free of her. I refuse to let my time be wasted when there are other things to do. Mission accomplished.
