Chapter 21

"Really? Those five girls?"

"Yeah along with at least two others."

"Wow, they don't look like the type."

"Believe me, when I first saw them fighting, I thought I had lost my mind." Quatre laughed. They were walking down the street on their way to get a school uniform for Quatre and Heero was more or less showing him around as they walked. To kill time, Heero had told him some of the more interesting events that he had encountered during his stay in the universe, more precise, the fact that Usagi and the other girls are warriors who defend the city…in short mini-skirts.

"I think Duo would like it here."

"And Wufei would kill himself if he had to live here." Quatre chuckled again imagining Wufei having to live in a world protected by "weak little onnas."

"It seems you've taken quite a liking to those girls though Heero."

Heero replied, "I suppose they have…grown on me. They certainly haven't made my stay here boring to say the least."

"They seem like very good girls."

"Yeah well be careful, those girls it seems has the power to manipulate you into doing whatever you want."

Quatre became confused. "What do you mean?"

"I mean…"

"Heero! Quatre! Over here!"

The two Gundam Pilots turned towards the source of the voice, and surprise, surprise, Minako was waving and calling out to them, along with the four other girls and Mamoru. "A city of over 13 million people, and they seem to find me off the street whenever they want." Heero mumbled.

Quatre smiled, "C'mon, lets go over there."

"We really have to go…"

"Oh come on Heero they are friends, besides, I would like to just forget about being a Gundam pilot for once and just live a normal life, even if it is for just a short time."

Heero resigned. "Fine, let's go." It was true that Heero has had some "time off" from being a Gundam pilot, however he wouldn't say the his life has been "normal" because of it. In his short stay here he had managed to see girls throw fire, gotten his heart stolen which nearly killed him, fought biological weapons, nearly obliterated the city, introduced forbidden technology to a civilization which had no right to have, and nearly gotten killed again by a sadistic woman with nano-machines. To Heero it definitely wasn't a "normal life." Interesting? Yes. Normal? Hell no. "I hope you are prepared for whatever mess we're going to get into for going over to them."

Quatre laughed again. "Heero we're just going to hang out with them, what could go wrong?"

Heero, for the first time in a long time, had to try his hardest to suppress a laugh. Quatre obviously will have to find out first hand what happens when you become friends with these girls. "Hi Quatre! Heero!" Usagi chirped as they reached the group.

"Hello everyone!" Quatre replied while Heero merely nodded at the group.

"What are you two up to?"

"Heero and I thought it would be a good idea for me to go to school here if anything just because it would be boring for me during the day so I'm going to enroll tomorrow and we're on our way to get a uniform for me."

"Really? You're going to be at our school?" Makoto asked, "that's great! You can hang out with all of us!"

"We're on our way to a movie." Ami said.

"Yeah!" Rei spoke up. "Why don't you two join us?"

"Well…" Heero was about to answer.

"That sounds great! Come on Heero, this'll be fun!" Quatre interrupted obviously having no intent of caring whether Heero wanted to go or not.

Heero looked at the entire group, including Quatre, staring at him with pleading begging eyes. 'Quatre, they've gotten to you so easily…' Heero thought to himself, a bit disappointed his fellow Gundam pilot could be swayed so easily. But then again, these girls were the only ones who could "control" him so Quatre would be no problem. "Fine…"

"Alright! Let's go!" Shouted the entire group of girls who then proceeded to grab Heero and Quatre's arms and drag them down towards the movie theater.

"Eager aren't they?" Quatre asked his friend as they were both being pulled by the arm, courtesy of Minako, Rei, and Makoto.

"You have no clue." Heero responded monotonously.

"So what movie are we seeing?" Quatre inquired to the group.

"It's called "Ringu" I hear it's really good!" Usagi replied.

"Yeah, and it's really scary too!" Minako said in a dramatic voice before grabbing on to Quatre's arm forcefully. "Quatre, you'll protect me right? I get scared sooooooo easily!"

Quatre blushed. "Um…yeah, sure."

The group went into the theater and took their seats. Heero was determined to get an end seat so he wouldn't have to sit between two girls because if the movie really was scary, he could predict what would happen to the guy sitting in between them. As it turned out, the order of the seats in the theater from end to middle went as: Heero, Ami, Mamoru, Usagi, Rei, Quatre, Minako, and Makoto. He looked down the isle and saw that Quatre was in between Minako and Rei. "Have fun Quatre." Heero whispered to himself.

The lights began to dim.

"Usa-ko you sure you want to see this? Are you sure you like scary things?" Mamoru asked her.

"Of course! I'll be fine; after all, I fight evil on a regular basis! No movie is going to scare me!"

10 minutes later

"AAAHHH! Mamo-chan save me!" Usagi wailed burying her face into Mamoru's shoulder.

"Usa-ko the movie hasn't started yet, these are just the previews." Mamoru replied.

Usagi laughed nervously. "Oh…uh…yeah, I was just…getting all the anxiety out of my body!"

Mamoru sweat-dropped.

Later on the movie started and as the plot progressed, the motion picture began to have various effects on the group. Usagi, for one, was nearly crying as she was burying her face into Mamoru's chest who really couldn't pay attention to the movie as he had his attention focused on trying to comfort an calm down the odango-haired girl. Quatre had seen a lot of horrors in his life, so he was doing okay at keeping his fear under control. Of course, he still tensed up during anxious situations and his heart beat increased, but otherwise, he was enjoying the movie, that is, he was trying to enjoy the movie. Rei and Minako, had a death hold on each of his arms throughout the film, as pure horror was coursing through them. During each scary scene, they would both nearly dive into his seat looking for comfort from the terror of the film. Needless to say, Quatre's arms were numb within the first fifteen minutes of the film. As Quatre looked down to see both Rei and Minako whimpering into his shoulders he didn't know whether to be happy or not as he had never been in a situation like this, hell, he had never been with any girl who either wasn't a sister of his or hadn't stabbed him in the stomach. Quatre smiled. 'Poor girls, they really are scared.' He thought.

"Hey," he whispered. "please don't be scared it's just a movie."

Both Rei and Minako looked up him, bodies shaking in fear, with tears in their eyes, "It's so scary!"

"I promise nothing will happen to you, it is just a movie."

Minako tried to smile. "You're right." She whispered trying to relax, that is, until the next horror-filled plot point was shown, "But I'm still holding on to you!" she shrieked hiding her eyes into Quatre's shoulder.

"Me too!" Rei agreed doing the same.

Quatre chuckled and glanced over at Makoto, who was just staring at the screen with a determined look on her face, but her knuckles were white from gripping the arm rests of the seat. 'She must be the tough one.' Quatre thought with a smile. Of course throughout the entire movie theater, there was one person who which this movie was having no impact on at all…Heero Yuy.

"This movie is not logical. There is no physical way for any of these plot devices to be happening and it is unrealistic and pointless." Heero's demeanor had not changed one bit since he entered the theater. Of course, having the ability to nearly suppress every human emotion had it's benefits, as fear was one thing that Heero had lost a long time ago. 'How long is this thing anyway?' Heero thought. He looked down the isle. Minako and Rei had pretty much stayed attached like glue to Quatre and were using his shoulders as a shield to cover their eyes. Usagi was still hysterical, trying to find comfort from Mamoru…and next to him was Ami…curled in her seat nearly into a ball, head buried in her arms, shaking and whimpering. Heero felt a strange urge within him. He definitely didn't want Ami to be scared like that; especially after all she's done for him.

'I guess it's the least I can do for her.' Heero thought to himself.

Slowly Heero reached his arm out, and wrapped it around Ami's shoulders and rubbed Ami's shoulder in a soothing manner. Ami looked up teary eyed and saw a steely eyed Heero staring back. Heero didn't smile, he didn't say anything but, the look in his eyes that he gave Ami seemed to say, "Do you actually think I would let something happen to you?" Slowly and unsure, Ami leaned her upper body against Heero's arm, and then slowly began to relax all her fear and tension as Heero allowed her to remain there. Ami did not shake or whimper for the rest of the film.

By the time the movie ended, it was night, and the group for the most part felt like they had enough excitement for one day. "Man! That was pretty frightening!" Makoto exclaimed to the rest of the group as they walked out of the show.

"Frightening is an understatement." Came an exhausted reply from an equally exhausted Usagi, who was currently being helped out of the theater by Mamoru.

"I hope we didn't bother you too much Quatre!" Minako said, "I'm sorry, the movie really was scary!"

Quatre smiled. "No, I'm getting feeling back into my arms now, so everything is okay!"

Minako and Quatre laughed and Rei spoke up, "Thank you though for allowing me to cling to you though, it really helped me get through it."

"No problem, believe me, I really could tell how scared you were."

"Well, I had better get back." Ami said.

"Okay," Usagi called out from the group as they all began to walk away. "I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Do you actually think you're walking home by yourself?"

"Huh?" the rest of the group focused their attention on the source, Heero.

"Ami, you live in a different direction than all of us. You aren't walking home alone."

Ami blushed, "Um…Heero, I'll be fine, I can take care…"

"You are a fifteen year old girl walking home alone at night, you are just inviting trouble to yourself. Now come on, I am walking you home." Heero steadily insisted, beginning to walk in the direction of Ami's house.

"Oh…um okay…" Ami stammered catching up with Heero.

The rest of the group smiled watching as the two disappeared into the night.

"He's so nice, even though he doesn't show it." Makoto said.

Quatre smiled. "It seems you all have given him back some of his humanity."

"What do you mean?" Usagi asked Quatre.

"It seems to me like he's becoming more human, I bet he values his life now. Let me tell you about how Heero was back in our world…"

Oh man, I owe everyone an apology, nearly a whole month without an update! That's a record! Of course partial blame goes to finals, and the rest of the blame goes to my first actual case of writers block. But now that I'm on break it should be easier to get some chapters up faster. Next chapter will be a direct continuation of this one, so I won't skip over the night that is taking place in the story.

If you didn't figure it out earlier, Quatre was referring to his "Uchuu no Kororo" (Space Heart, Soul of the Universe) when describing how he could tell how scared Minako and Rei were. I'll probably make it a subject next chapter between him and the girls, since I think it's interesting (afterall Rei has a 6th sense too).

I can't believe the outcry for romance in the reviews. I was surprised cause I never thought it really was a subject but when those reviews wanting romance came in I thought "damn, I better do something." I hope this calms at least some of you down for now.

Oh yeah, I also had two people who actually thought this was going to be a yaoi story. I will go ahead and offer them a free trip to my moonbase ski resort with every purchase of a Nicaraguan Island. See you next time!
