What If - Chapter 4
By: Fyre_faerie_gyrl
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Duo screamed for about ten seconds before passing out once again. Lorelei stood in shock, she knew it was going to hurt but she didn't think he'd scream that way.
She felt as though she had been killing him or something. She stared for a few more seconds and then snapped out of it and finished wiping away the blood. When she was done she gently wrapped his wound.
Just as she was finishing up Heero appeared from below. He shut the trap door and then walked over to Duo's bedside. Heero looked him over, gave a short nod, and then walked over and sat in the pilot seat.
She watched as he reached down beside his seat and lifted up something.
"My backpack!" she exclaimed happily. He gave another nod and tossed it toward her. She caught it but the momentum of the very heavy backpack sent her on a one way trip to a sore rump.
"Ouch." Heero raised an eyebrow at her and she found herself blushing again as she inquired, "How did you find it?"
"I didn't. Duo did." Heero answered before turning back to the controls.
"Well, thank you for saving me," she said quietly as Duo shifted beside her.
"Hn." Was all she got from Heero.
"Hey what about me? I saved you too!" the now wide-awake Duo pointed out. Lorelei smiled brightly at him.
"Thank you for saving me, Duo." To her surprise, Duo blushed, which made her smile more. He then laughed.
"Don't mention it! You saved me first after all. Um," he looked confused," Where did you come from? You kinda fell on me, were you climbing trees or something?" Lorelei looked away.
'How can I explain this without them coming to the conclusion that I'm insane?' she wondered, 'Although I think I've already certified my insanity by believing that I'm actually talking to a gundam pilot.' Something waved in front of her face. She blinked and focused on the object, otherwise known as Duo's hand.
"Hello? Hello? Come back to the Earth sphere! Can you read me?" Lorelei wished she could disappear. Duo laughed again. She looked at Duo and their eyes locked. 'He has the most beautiful eyes,' she thought, 'stop it Lorelei! He is a fictional character! Snap out of it! Oh wow. His eyes sure are blue.' A beeping sound brought her to her senses. She tore her eyes away from his to locate the source.
"What is it Heero?" Duo asked.
"We are nearing the safehouse," Heero stated, "I alerted Sally to your injury. She should be there by the time we get there."
"What? Did you not listen to a word I said before?" Duo flipped onto his back and moaned, "Oh no! I'm gonna die!"
"Hn." Lorelei blinked.
"What does 'Hn' mean exactly? I've always wanted to ask you that." Heero whipped around to stare at her in surprise. Duo started laughing hysterically. Lorelei swallowed hard when she realized she was thinking aloud again.
"Did I just say that out loud?" she laughed nervously, "Never mind. Forget I said that." Heero shot her a weird look before turning back to the controls in order to maneuver the plane to land. Duo stood up shakily and sat down in the co-pilots seat while still wiping away tears of laughter and giggling every once and a while. Heero shot him a death glare and then focused on landing. Lorelei went and strapped herself in and then glanced out the window. To her dismay, she didn't see an airport, all she saw were trees and a large clearing below them. Heero headed the plane toward the clearing. Lorelei gripped her seat. With a thud the plane touched ground and skidded to a halt. Heero turned the plane off.
"Sorry." Heero mumbled. Lorelei looked at Duo. He had been gripping his seat as hard as she had. She turned and watched the no-so-perfect soldier get up, open the door, and jump out onto solid ground. Lorelei unbuckled her seat belt and went to get her backpack. She retrieved it and then headed for the door. Duo slowly stood from his seat and then walked over to the door and hopped out. She heard a dull thud and when she looked down from the door Duo was crumpled on the ground. She threw her backpack out and then dropped down beside him.
"Are you alright?" she said worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm just a little tired is all." Heero walked over and threw one of Duo's arms around his neck and helped him to stand. He then began to leave. Lorelei quickly threw her pack over shoulder and hurried after them. They walked for about a mile before they came to a huge two-story house surrounded by a huge amount of landscape in the middle of the woods. She gaped at it. It was even bigger than Matzu's house. She heard a door slam and looked over to see four people running towards them. Duo raised his head.
"Eek! Sally's coming! Heero let go of me!" Duo yelled as he struggled feebly in Heero's grip. The people finally got to them and surrounded Duo. Lorelei backed up a little. No one had really noticed her yet; they were all too concerned with Duo's well being. She studied the new comers and then she gasped aloud. To her disbelief, Quatre, Trowa, Wufei and Sally, plus Duo and Heero were standing before her. She once again tried pinching herself to wake up from what had to be a dream, but once again it failed to work.
"Duo! Heero!" Quatre cried, "I'm so glad you are okay!" He enveloped them in a hug. Trowa nodded in agreement. Wufei stood back with his arms crossed and looked them over. Duo looked over at him and one of his trademark grins spread across his face.
"Wu-man! Did you miss me?" Wufei scowled.
"Maxwell, I told you not to call me that," He said in a menacing tone.
"So you missed me? I knew it! No one can resist the Maxwell charm! Not even Wu-man!" Wufei started to go for his throat but Sally got in the way. Duo visibly paled.
"Hullo Sally," he said fearfully.
"Hello Duo," she said with a gleam in her eye as she looked down at his bandaged side, "Hmm. I think you'll probably need stitches." Duo gulped. Then he looked around, imploring someone to help him with his eyes. Wufei grinned at his predicament. Duo made a mental note to get him later.
"Let's get you inside," Quatre offered in an attempt to ease the tension. They started to head inside when Quatre noticed Lorelei, who had slowly been backing away. She still didn't believe this was real.
"Who's that?" he asked. They all turned to look at her. She felt the blood drain from her face. She had tried pinching herself but that hadn't worked, and she didn't have any cold water to douse herself with, so she did the next best thing: she fainted.

*The curtains begin to open, but they get stuck in the process*
*Fyre_faerie_gyrl disentangles herself from the curtains and steps forward*
Fyre_faerie_gyrl: What is going on here? Those curtains are brand new!
*A guy with really big headphones walks over, studies the curtains, and nods*
Fyre_faerie_gyrl: What?
Guy with really big head phones: They are broken alright.
Fyre_faerie_gyrl: Thank you Captain Obvious.
Guy with really big headphones: Who told you my secret identity? Now what'll I do? I have to have my mom make me a new costume now. *He sticks out his tongue at Fyre_faerie_gyrl* Thanks a lot. *He storms off*
Fyre_faerie_gyrl: Ok. That was a little scary. *looks at audience* Oh almost forgot! I wanted to thank you guys for reading my story and would like you to review if you please. Thank you! *she starts to leave*
*Duo runs onstage*
Duo: Wait! You can't leave yet!
Fyre_faerie_gyrl: Why not?
Duo: You haven't bashed Wufei yet!
*Audience gasps*
Fyre_faerie_gyrl: But he didn't do anything.
*Audience is silent and in shock*
*Duo pouts and then pulls hard on the curtains to make a space for him to leave through*
*Suddenly a loud yell of surprise is heard and then Wufei plummets from above and lands on the stage with a sickening crack*
Fyre_faerie_gyrl: What were you doing up there Wufei?
*Wufei starts twitching*
Duo: He's the one who broke the curtains!
Fyre_faerie_gyrl: Wufei! You did that on purpose didn't you?
Duo: How could you Wu-man? *notices the twitching* Um, Wu-man?
*Wufei is still twitching*
Fyre_faerie_gyrl: Uh oh. I think he's really hurt. Um, can we get Sally over here?
*A siren sounds and lights flash. Sally comes running up making siren noises and with a flashing light strapped to her head*
*She pulls out a huge syringe and administers it to Wufei*
Wufei: YEEOWCH!!!!!!!!!!!
*He runs off the stage gripping his rear end*
Duo: That's what he gets for trying to play a joke on you. Besides, he should leave pranks to the professionals. Hey, that gives me an idea!
*He grins and runs off*
Fyre_faerie_gyrl: Uh oh. He had that diabolical grin on. I better go before he tries to steal Heero's laptop and mess with it again. Last time he was in a coma for a week. Gotta go, see you later! Bye! *ahem* *She dons her heroine costume* HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY!!!
*Attempts to fly off, falls flat on her face, gets up, and runs the rest of the way off of the stage*
