Chapter Three
is now out! Sorry it took so long, but I've been busy, and haven't had time to
get on.
I don't own
Gundam Wing, never have; never will. Endless Waltz ended really stupidly, and
if I had my way, it would have been better.
CHAPTER THREE
The following morning, Andrea awoke to the sound of her alarm clock buzzing. It was 5:30 AM.
Lifting her slightly sticky face from her math book, she found her homework strewn across the floor. Crap! She thought. I can't believe I fell asleep doing my homework. Andrea rushed into the shower, hoping to not take much time. She threw on a black t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. She brushed out her hair and put it back in a ponytail. She didn't have time to braid it; she'd do it in class. Quickly, she packed her bag, rechecked for anything and ran into the very small kitchen. She put some poptarts in the toaster and got a bottle of water out of the freezer. Her poptarts done, she ran into the living room, grabbed her coat, put on her helmet, got her backpack, and pulled her bike out of the house. It was 6:30.
Andrea then rode like heck to school.
When she got there, as her watch told her, it was 7:00. What the heck was I thinking? I had plenty of time! Why did I want to get to school early? She thought to herself. Looking around her to see if anyone was there, she spotted the braided boy, Duo. Andrea ran quietly over to the boy, making sure she was not spotted, stopped just behind him and smiled. "Hi Duo!" She yelled, startling him.
Duo jumped and spun around really fast, his braid smacking a member of the group, the Chinese boy, in the face. "I will kill you Maxwell!" He growled.
"Sorry Wu-man didn't mean to."
"DON'T CALL ME WU-MAN, MAXWELL! IT'S WUFEI!"
"Gosh, he has an attitude, doesn't he?" Andrea stated, in the midst of giggles.
"Yup, sure does." Duo answered, grinning. "How ya' doin'?"
"Good," She said looking at his friends. "Care to introduce me to your friends."
"I don't mind, but I don't think they'd like you to know, they're really touchy about it." He faced her towards his friends. "The one I hit with my braid is Chang WUFEI. The "blonde boy" as you so call him, is Quatre Winner…"
"Winner? Man, you're families
rich! I heard you're the only boy with 29 older sisters!" Andrea said.
"Yeah, it's true," Quatre, said quietly.
"Anyway, back to what I was saying, the one who you said was glaring at me like he was going to kill me, is Heero Yuy." Duo received a death-glare. "Um, he doesn't like people to know his name.
"I can tell." Andrea giggled, not afraid of the glare she was receiving from Heero. The other four boys looked at her funny. "Sorry, I'm a hyper person, I laugh at a lot of things. Frankly, that face is nothing compared to the face I get when I got in trouble with my guardians." Again, the group looked at her. "What?"
"Lastly, the tall silent guy over there is Trowa. He doesn't say much."
Andrea looked at the boy. His long, light brown bangs covering one of his green eyes. Her eyes widened, I know that face! What is he doing here? "NO WAY!"
"What?" Quatre asked her.
"Uh…uh…nothing," She answered, stuttering as she tried to think. "He just looks like someone I met before."
Trowa looked at her, he also recognized her but said nothing. If she wanted to say who she was, it was her business, her mission, not his. He wouldn't give out that information.
Just then, the bell rang for the students to go inside. Andrea broke her starring match with Trowa and headed inside, talking to Duo on her way.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
The week went by as normal as possible. Andrea began to hang out with the band of "new kids", as most of the students called them. She received glares of jealousy from some of her fellow classmates for becoming a close friend with Duo in only a matter of days. It seems the girls thought he was cute. Life was beginning to feel normal until a visitor came to the school.
"Andrea Thomas, report to the main office ready to go home!" The P.A. boomed during lunch. Quickly, she headed down towards the office, her bag slipping off her shoulder. When Andrea arrived in the office a familiar woman was waiting for her.
"Andrea? How are you?" The woman asked; arms outstretched toward her. "I've missed you so much.
"Professor D?" Andrea asked, hugging the woman. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on L6 with Professor Y?"
"Andrea, please, call me Ellen, there's no need for formalities between us. And Andrew wanted me to come, we were worried about you." Ellen answered, filling out the "pick up student from school"[1] form. "I'm taking you home, we have a funeral to go to."
Ellen led Andrea out to the car parked outside the building. When Andrea climbed in, and they drove away, she turned to the woman. "Alright, the funeral thing was just a cover up, what's going on?"
"Andrea, Andrew and I have decided that you need one of us here on Earth with you in case something goes wrong. People will get suspicious of a teenage girl living all alone even in this day and age."
"So, basically, you're here as my babysitter?" She asked. "You don't think a girl can handle this."
"I'm sorry butt the point is…"
"The point is, is that, I wasn't even supposed to be on this mission! I'm a GIRL! Everyone always said I wouldn't make it; I'd either die, or go insane. Now I'm being baby-sat because you still don't think I can do it!"
"That doesn't have anything to do with this. I told you before you left that you could do it, and to show those idiots. I'm tired of you bringing it up. When we get back to the hideout, pack your bags. We're leaving tonight."
"What?"
"You have a mission on the Eastern United States. We'll be leaving tonight if possible."
"Great…" Andrea turned her head away and looked out the window.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
When they arrived, Andrea headed straight for her room. She grabbed her laptop, putting it into her large duffle bag. She then cleaned out the rest of the room, stuffing stuff into her bag. When all was cleared from her room, she took one last look. Something under the bed caught her attention. She reached under and pulled out her photo album. It had been started by her parents and had pictures leading all the way up to yesterday, when she insisted on getting a picture of her and her new friends. She put it into her bag and left the room.
Ellen had finished clearing out everything else by that time, and it was all loaded up into the semi-type thingy[2]. Together, they loaded up her bike, motorcycle and then Andrea loaded up the gundam.
When they finally climbed into
the cab it was 10:45 pm. Andrea leaned on the side window. See ya' later
guys.
That's it! I don't think this was one of the better chapters. I had to introduce those characters somehow, and I don't think I did a good job. There I go again, saying I suck.
You know how you could help
me? R&R my story! That would help a lot!
