Hey there! How are all of you guys who sick with the story? I am really glad you do. Well, I don't think I have anything to say, so here's the fic!
Disclaimer: (singing) Where oh where has my little dog gone?
So that's how they all ended up in their Aquarius' facing each other.
"The only rule is no killing each other. The battle pairs are as follows. Duo and Hilde, Trowa and Emily, Quatre and Dorothy, Wufei an Liz, Heero and Relena. We will start as soon as the sun comes out from behind that cloud." A very official sounding Quatre announced. Everyone turned their attention to the cloud anxiously. The sun peeked out, but was soon quickly hidden again. Everyone took this to mean the start of the battle and charged at their opponent. Liz went straight for her gun and shot off Wufei's shooting arm. Wufei took out his army knife from his other arm. Wasting no time, Liz shot off that arm as well. A loud "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!…" Could be heard from Wufei as he admitted defeat. Dorothy was not doing as well as Liz. (an: Hey, I don't like Dorothy ok?) Quatre had used his army knife and chipped hers, rendering it useless. Then he plugged her gun with his knife so she had to throw it to the side when it exploded. Sighing, she surrendered. Emily and Hilde were doing as much damage as Trowa and Duo, neither side was winning. Hilde connected with Emily.
"Hey, Em, we aren't getting anywhere."
"Yeah, what we need is a diversion…"
"Operation Flash!" Hilde yelled while blocking a hit from Duo.
"Yes!" responded Emily, "It's perfect!"
"Um, Trowa? Has Emily stopped fighting?" asked Duo.
"Yeah, has Hilde?"
"Yeah…"
"Hmm… let's ask them why." But when Duo and Trowa connected with Hilde and Emily their jaws dropped. The girls were both unzipping their flight suits seductively down to their waists. Duo and Trowa gulped as the girls removed their arms, revealing a bikini top underneath. (an: did you really think I'd have them naked?) The guys were speechless. The girls looked at them, smiled their evil smiles, and attacked. The guys didn't see it coming. Cutting off their sword hand, the guys were forced to surrender. They would've used their guns but Trowa was out of bullets and Duo's was missing. The two sullen guys jumped out of their suits and followed two very happy looking girls towards the others on the blanket.
"What?! You guys lost?! That's pathetic, you weaklings."
"Oh please Wufei, I beat your sorry ass too."
"Oh yeah…" Liz rolled her eyes.
"But how could you guys lose?" Duo and Trowa blushed and looked away.
"Am I the only guy who won here?" Quatre asked.
"It looks like it. A now happy Duo replied.
"Hey where's Lena and Heero?" Hilde asked. Liz, Dorothy, Wufei and Quatre pointed up. Following their fingers, she saw two very beat up mobile suits battling.
"They've been at it forever. As soon as you think one is going to win, the other fights back. They are completely evenly matched."
"She should try operation flash." Whispered Hilde as she nudged Emily and smiled. They all watched the two above them. Every blow given was either blocked or returned with equal force. At this rate they could be there forever. They watched in silence for a while.
"I'm bored." Said Duo finally.
"We know Duo." They all replied. A few minutes passed.
"Well, me and Hilde are going for a walk." Duo announced as he jumped up.
"We are/ Oh, oh yeah, we're going for a walk over, um, there! Yeah, so, um, see you guys later then!" They ran together towards a grove of palm trees.
"Care to spar with me Wufei?" Liz asked as she walked away. Wufei followed her.
"Well me and Trowa are going swimming." Emily said, taking off her flight suit completely revealing her green bikini.
"Uh, sure." Trowa mumbled, blushing in the slightest.
"That sounds like a good idea, come on Quatre!" Dorothy agreed, taking off her suit to show off a pale blue bikini. The four ran off towards the ocean.
Up in the sky:
Relena and Heero were battling still. Finally Relena connected with Heero.
"Heero, we aren't getting anywhere."
"Yea…"
"I say we stop and call it a draw."
"Fine by me." They both released each other and drifted to the ground. They both exited their suits at the same time, not showing any injuries if there was any. They met at the now deserted tablecloth.
"Where is everyone?" Relena asked.
"Duo and Hilde- 'walk', Wufei and Liz- sparring, all others-ocean."
"Oh… Well, I'm hot." Relena unzipped her suit to her waist and removed her arms, showing a black bikini top. Heero was watching her silently out of the corner of his eye. He didn't think anyone could get more beautiful. Relena saw his eyes watching her and giggled. Heero heard her and looked away, blushing slightly. Then an idea hit him. He stood from his sitting position and unzipped his flight suit to his waist revealing his bare chest. It was Relena's turn to watch. He is so wonderfully handsome… Heero smirked lazily art her and sat back down. She noticed this and blushed a little bit before trying to spark up a conversation.
"You know you were pretty good up there."
"You weren't bad yourself." She paused at this.
"Have you been a pilot long?"
"A couple of years."
"Oh…" he noticed her exasperation. Sighing, he asked her a question.
"You?" She was startled by his attempt to talk to her. Sure, it was only one word, but it was a start…
"I've been at the academy for two years. But I've been interested in piloting for ages."
"Oh." Relena sighed. It was impossible to get him to talk to her.
"Um, Heero, why don't you ever smile?"
"There isn't a need to."
"What do you mean?"
"Why do I have to?"
"It doesn't hurt to let people see you happy."
"I'm not happy."
"Why aren't you happy?"
"I have nothing to make me happy."
"What would make you happy?" Heero paused. A kiss from you would be fine for now his mind seemed to yell. (an: Happy Jadet?) But it was only a thought… He realized too late that he'd said it out loud. His cheeks were burning and he was looking down. "Oh, well, um, well, I, … guess that can be arranged…" But then it jerked up, What?! He looked at her stunned. She was leaning into him, inching closer, and he didn't realize he was seconding the motion. They were so close… so close….
"Heero! Lena! You guys are finally done!" The two jerked away from each other suddenly.
"Uh… what?" Relena asked dazed.
"You guys finally finished your battle! Who won?" Emily continued.
"Uh… it was a draw."
"Wow, you are that good?" Quatre asked.
"Um, yeah I guess. Hey, where's Liz and Hilde?"
"Liz is coming here now with Wufei, and we have no idea where Hilde and Duo are."
"Did you check the trees?"
"Yeah, no sign of them."
"Hmmm… Oh! Here they come!" In fact the two were coming up the hill, Duo's arm around Hilde's waist. When the two made it up there, Trowa chuckled.
"Duo, you have lipstick all over you."
"What…? Oh, um, hehe..he…he……." He started wiping all the lipstick off his cheeks and lips. Hilde looked away, blushing furiously. (an: Happy now Jadet?) Liz was coming up the hill from the other direction. She was looking very happy with herself. Wufei was sulking silently behind her.
"I'm guessing Wufei lost." Quatre noticed.
"DAMN OPERATION FLASH!!!" Wufei yelled. All of the girls smiled. Duo and Trowa chuckled, and Heero and Quatre looked confused.
"Anyways…" Liz interrupted, "It's time to go."
"Yeah, But we have to get together again later this week, is that alright with you guys?" Emily asked.
"Yeah, of course, we'd love to see you again." Trowa replied for everyone.
"Great! Well, we'll see you back at base, alright?"
"Okay, but NO operation Surprise!" Hilde and Relena giggled. The ride back went fairly smooth. Besides the fact that all of the suits were missing some body part except Liz's, and all were battered and occasionally emitted electric sparks. No one knew that what awaited them back at base was far worse…
"RELENA!!! GET DOWN FROM THERE RIGHT NOW!!!"
"Milliardo?"
"YES IT IS MILLIARDO! I HAVE TOLD YOU REPEATEDLY THAT I DON'T WANT YOU NEAR HERE!! NOW GET DOWN!"
"Oh yeah, um, sorry." Relena jumped out of her suit and the others followed.
"Please, Milliardo, it wasn't her fault, we, um, forced her to come with us." Hilde tried to stick up for her friend.
"Yeah right! I have heard that one before!!"
"Milliardo, please, what's past is past, let's just go home, okay?"
"Not until you explain a few things. First, what are you doing here, with, with, other BOYS?!!!"
"Milliardo, don't you remember? These are my friends from school."
"Humph."
"That's it Milliardo, we're just friends." She looked over to Heero, "You have nothing to worry about."
"Then why are you all dressed like, that!?"
"What?" Relena looked down at her apparel. Her suit was still zipped down to her waist, still exposing her bikini top. "Oh, yeah, um, well, it was hot…"
"Right, come on, I'm taking you home!"
"Fine, I'll be right there, just let me say goodbye, ok?"
"Fine, but I want to see you at the car in five minutes!"
"Alright, alright." They all watched him leave the hangar. "Sorry, he can be a little… protective at times." They all gave her the "no-kidding" look. There was an odd pause.
"Right, well, I don't think that he would want us to ride home with you after what just happened. We better get our bikes." Quatre explained.
"Yeah… I guess you're right."
"Hey, Lena, do you think that you could give us a ride home?"
"Sure Em, do you guys still live in the apartment?"
"Yup, sure do!"
"Then of course I will." The girls grabbed their clothes and piled into Relena's car after Relena explained to her brother that she had to give them a ride home. The guys were about to leave on their bikes.
"Wait, Heero!" Relena ran over to him. She waited for him to say something, but he just looked at her. "Right, well, I guess I'm just saying goodbye then, and I'll see you tomorrow." She turned to leave but noticed that Heero was holding onto her hand. "Is there something the matter, Heero?"
He looked at her sadly.
"Oh yes, I never got to make you happy, now did I?" He looked at her and his mouth twitched. Relena smiled and leaned upward to get closer… and closer….
"STOP IT RIGHT THERE MISSY!!" Relena groaned. "JUST FRIENDS, HUH? IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE 'JUST FRIENDS' TO ME!"
"Fine, fine, I'm coming Milliardo. I'll see you later, alright Heero?" She turned back to where he was only to find him already speeding along the roadway with the other guys. "bye…" she whispered and gave him a small wave with her fingers after him. Then she went and jumped into the car with the other girls and began down the roadway.
Okay, Okay, I know, that was corny as hell, but hey, I did it for you Jadet!! This has got to be one of my worst chapters. Hm… I wonder what kind of reviews I'll get… probably none. Oh well. The next one will be out soon, I hope. The website Gallery has been fixed, and is best viewed with internet explorer, but will work with anything. Hopefully the next chapter won't contain all of the mindless fluff! And NO, she did NOT just tell them to fuck off! Just in case you're wondering…
