Hello, 's me again. ^^;;; So soon, you ask? Anyway, here's the next chapter, yes, I know it's short, but hey, I was GOING to make it shorter, and I didn't, so.. ah.. be grateful! Anyway, here it is.
Disclaimers: This is for BOTH chapters, because I ( oops ) forgot to put a disclaimer on the first chapter. SORRY! THEY AREN'T MINE! NOTHING IS!! AHHHH!!
Pairings: Future 1+2, maybe 3+4.. later, though, not yet. ^^;; Okie dokie.

By the end of the bus ride, Heero had had about 5 different people sit by him, though at the VERY end, Trowa had returned, and somehow squished a smaller boy at the very end of their two seats. Quatre, Heero had been informed.
Three times, Heero and whoever happened to be sitting with him at the time, had to slam their pillows behind them to get the rappers to shut up; the bus driver had yelled only once at them, and Duo had moved up to the front of the bus, though somehow, his voice was the loudest, and Heero STILL heard it.
Around 9:30 PM, they arrived on the campgrounds, though for whatever reason, they rode around in a circle for about 20 minutes, before the bus lurched to a halt.
Tony said something about not messing up his bus over the comm, but nobody was listening; they were all too damned grateful to get out of the bus. The doors opened, and the kids started slowly edging out.
Heero just stood up, with no intentions of getting into the stream yet, and just managed to catch a glimpse of Duo.. before he disappeared to the floor.
" I'm OK! "
Heero snorted to himself, and tried to look outside, though the glare from inside the bus made it nearly impossible to see in the pitch black place.
*
Once everyone had gotten off the bus, the adults herded everyone into the main room/chapel, where there were chairs for everyone to sit on, a band on the small stage, and older people swarming around. A guy in a red fleece pullover ( It had gotten even colder, because a: it was late, and b: they were in the mountains. Whoa, there's logic. ), hopped up on the stage, a mic in hand, as he waved breifly.
" Hey, all you guys coming in, just take a seat, and we'll get started, alright? " He said.
Heero didn't even have to look up to find Duo, because he had yelled " OK!! " in compliance to the fleece guy, obviously sitting behind him.
After a few minutes, most of the kids had all satten down, as the guy picked up the mic again. " Alright, well, welcome to the Youth Retreat of 2001! " -- he paused to let some of the not so tired people ( Duo as one of them, naturally ) cheer -- " I'm Stuart, and I'll be the speaker this year, in this cabin out in.. uhh.." He looked around out the windows breifly, before shrugging. " Wherever we are.
" First of all, the luggage is all being sorted right now. The girls luggage will be found in Cabin 8, the boys luggage in Cabin 4. Now, about the cabin arrangements.. "
Heero tuned out for a minute, he figured he'd just ask Trowa later if he needed any help, and rubbed his eyes, before looking back up, only to have Stuart somehow get on the topic of fights.
" Now see, the guys, when they fight, y'know, they make grunting noises, and punch each other up a bit, all's done. But with the GIRLS, man, they go all out. I mean, using finger nails, teeth.
I'm serious! Guys, quit laughing. I swear, there'll be a pillow fight one night, and a girl gets hit and takes it personally, so in the morning, she'll get up, and put an alarm clock in her pillow case, and whack the other girl, while screaming, ' HOW'S THAT FOR FAIR FIGHTING!? ' or something! I'm not kidding!..
" Anyway, let's get back on track, right? Now, on your way up to the cabins, be careful, because there are like, drop offs. You'll be like, walking along, accidently step off the path, and Fwwp, you're gone down a cliff. Well, a hill, but still. Be careful. " Stuart paused to chuckle.
" And watch out for Eric Rudolph, y'know, he's still like, wandering in the woods, or something. " He made a screechy, horror movie type sound, while acting like he had a knife. Stuart then laughed. " The girls are all like, ' Who's that? ' And the guys are going, ' I gotta pee. '
" If you don't know who Eric Rudolph is, annnd.. that's it. Alright, good luck finding your cabins! C'ya tomorrow. "
Heero got up, while glancing toward Stuart again, as he shuffled off the stage, before grabbing his pillow, and all of the stuff he had on the bus, and shuffling out the door, following Trowa.
Around the building that they were in, was a complete wrap around porch, with one narrow bunch of stairs that led down toward where the cabins were, and another leading from the front of the camp.
They all walked, while talking, of course, though some listened, down toward the narrow stairs, going in a somewhat single file line. Trowa was walking next to Heero -- they were both skinny, anyway -- Duo was behind Wufei, who was standing next to someone he was introduced to as Quatre.
Glancing at his little glow watch, he noticed it was nearly midnight, and while he was doing this, he failed to notice the last step, which was abnormally steep. ( AN: Dude, I am SO not kidding, it popped up out of NOWHERE, and it was like, a foot high! I never saw it coming. x.x;; )
Needless, to say, with a thud, he crumpled.
Wufei just barely managed to stop before he tripped over Heero, Duo stumbled into Wufei, Quatre wound up falling over onto Trowa, who blinked, and managed to keep his balance.
" Umm.. ouch? " Heero mumbled, before trying to wriggle out of his uncomfortable position.
Someone -- he wasn't sure who -- but started snickering, and before long, everyone was laughing, while asking if Heero was ok.
Heero couldn't help but laugh, either, as he pulled himself up, using the odd, rickety handrail.
*
Once they got to the cabin, Heero found that only himself, Trowa, and Wufei were in the same cabin. Duo and the Quatre kid went off with some other guys to another cabin.
Trowa claimed the bottom bunk in a corner, Wufei claiming the top bunk next to Heero's, as Heero hoisted himself up to the bunk. A tall man walked over to Heero, as he noted that the man had long, platinum hair.
" Hey, I'm Milliardo. Everybody here calls me Zechs, though. It's a lot easier to remember, eh? I'm one of the leaders. Actually, I'm with these kids everyday we meet, but this weekend, I'm a cabin leader. Oh joy.
" Anyway, who are you? "
" Heero Yuy. I'm with Trowa. " Heero stated, while blinking.
" That's cool. Well, I'll let you men get situated. " Zechs, half-waved, and went back to his bed -- he actually had a bed.
Heero moved his hand, which he had been putting his weight on, and noticed that it had sticked to the matress. ( AN: You know those baby cribs that they have in like, I don't know, churchs, in the nursery, or the ones in the mall, or something like that? Those really crappy dog matress, things? THAT is what we had to use. )
He meerly shrugged, and opened up his sleeping bag, before looking over at Wufei, who had a sleeping bag AND several sheets. " What are you doing..? " Heero blinked.
" Making my bed. See, I'll put the sleeping bag on the matress, then I take the sheets, and pull it over, like so. " Wufei demonstrated, and gestured widely, while smirking. " Insta-bed. And much more comfortable. These matress things.. I don't know what genius was thinking what when they made it, but damn, what kind of man can hold his honour, AND sleep on it? Unless of course, you're sleeping in a sleeping bag, like yourself. "
Heero just shrugged again.
***
Rap-rap-rap.
BAM-BAM-BAM.
Heero woke with a start at the banging on the windows, Wufei the same.
" What the.. " Wufei growled, and flung off the covers, as Heero jumped down, avoiding the person below him, before quickly changing into a pair of clean, dark blue jeans, and a long sleeve hunter green shirt, before slipping into his jeans jacket.
Wufei had also gotten dressed, and was slipping into a heavy leather jacket, before leaning over the vacant bunk below his, and peeking through a few blinds, Heero right beside him, with Trowa just now getting clothed.
Outside the window stood three figures, one recognizable, the other unmistakable.
Duo, Quatre, and some other kid, Heero though he was called Patrick, earlier, were arm in arm, swaying to a tune that only they could hear, and singing as loud as they could.
A tall man with brown hair, and two little bang things that stuck out in his face, with freaky eyebrows, was obviously chuckling, as he put his hands on Quatre and Duo's heads, and leading them away, talking incoherent things to them.
" Hey, Zechs, can I beat the crap out of Duo if he does that again? " Wufei asked, leaning back.
Zechs laughed. " Be my guest. "
" Only if I can help. " Heero stated, before the breakfast bell rang, and they all started to herd out the cabin door.

:O Well?! What'cha think? Continue?! Oh, and by the way, sorry about the Faerie story. . Obviously no one liked it. ^^;; Umm.. I'm coming out with another story, too, so.. wait for that! As well as continuing with this if you want.
Disclaimers: This is for BOTH chapters, because I ( oops ) forgot to put a disclaimer on the first chapter. SORRY! THEY AREN'T MINE! NOTHING IS!! AHHHH!!
Pairings: Future 1+2, maybe 3+4.. later, though, not yet. ^^;; Okie dokie.
