"Oh!!" Relena yelped.
"It's ok Relena," Jasmine said trying to comfort her. "Catherine's an expert
knife thrower."
Relena blushed as Jasmine took hold of her hand. "I know Heero. Nevertheless
I still get uneasy watching Trowa just stand there tied up."
Daa
da da daaaa. Daa da da daaaa (from Beethoven's 5th symphony)
Relena picked up her cell. "Damn it. I can't go an hour without them hassling
me. Y'know Heero sometimes I wish I could just give up this political business."
She listened intently to the other end tossing in affirmatives where needed
to feign interest all the while rolling her eyes.
"I'm sorry Heero. It looks as though I've got to run once again. Some nonsense
they can't handle without me." She gave Heero a quick peck on the check
and headed out.
"Well at least it makes my job of talking alone with Trowa a little easier."
Jasmine sighed to herself and resumed watching the show.
After
the show Jasmine headed backstage to have her talk with Trowa desperately
hoping that he had a solution to her predicament. Luckily for her Catherine
was meeting with the manager so Trowa was all alone backstage.
"Trowa!" greeted Jasmine.
Trowa nodded with a smile as he turned from locking up the lions. "How
are you Heero?"
"Good. I've come for your help, though I'm not entirely sure you can help."
"Let me guess. You're a woman who's switched places with Heero's body."
Trowa stated without hesitation.
Jasmine was dumbstruck. "Eh… how'd you get that so quickly?"
"Well aside from the reports I've heard regarding your encounters with
Relena from Quatre; your greeting and especially your feminine gait. Your
posture is slouched and your head is turned slightly downward. Also your
body language and hand gestures are way off kilter… need I go on?" At this
Trowa smirked ever so slightly.
"I suppose I should have guessed I couldn't fool you Trowa. Where'd you
learn to read people so well?"
"It comes from years of listening and watching to people first instead
of running off at the mouth. I've learned that listening and watching especially
will tell one more about a person that they could ever tell you directly.
Wufei and even Heero himself had a hand in helping me realize that, especially
in regards to nonverbal movement. I imagine that's why Duo didn't pick
up anything."
Jasmine chuckled. "Yeah I'd have to agree with that. I noticed at the hospital
the nurse had trouble getting a word in edgewise with him. Probably also
the reason he didn't see the slap from Hilde coming for flirting with the
nurse."
"I assume you're here so you can figure out how to get back to your old
body?"
"Oooh, the clairvoyant's right on the mark again! That manager of yours
should set you up with a tent and magic ball buddy."
"Right." Trowa coughed unamused. "Well the quicker the better in getting
Heero back."
"Hey was that a crack?"
"Time is of the essence. We don't know if there is a window of opportunity
for this event to occur so we must solve this as soon as we can. Besides
I don't think Heero will take kindly to how your handling situations with
Relena. By the way nice suit," Trowa said noticing Jasmine's apparel.
"Everyone's a comedian. Sheesh. I take the initiative and dress to impress
to help Heero along and all I get are jokes from you pilots. I get no respect."
Jasmine tugged at her tie in a mock Rodney Dangerfield.
"Alright. First thing's first. How did this happen?"
"Well first of all my name is Jasmine. I'm from Earth in a parallel dimension
or something like that. I'm a high school student and am very fond of the
strong silent type." She glanced over at Trowa with a smile.
Trowa raised an eyebrow. "Um, well thank you. Please do get to the point
though."
"Well I was coming home to pick up my lunch when the air became distorted
and everything went black. Next thing I know I'm in biker shorts with my
very own joystick, and I ain't talking 'bout no Gundam controls if ya know
what I mean."
Trowa couldn't help but laugh.
Jasmine continued her little tirade. "How do you deal these things anyways?
I've tried boxers and briefs, but no matter what this little thing, or
in this case big thing keeps jostling around on its own. When I had those
boxers on it started to grow and I just had no idea what to do with it.
I had to wait in the bathroom for the little perfect soldier to return
from mighty mode. Relena was wondering what I was doing in there for ten
minutes. I just told her that I had Mexican the night before. One plus
at least is the lines are shorter for the bathroom. Oh and the other day…"
"I'm guessing you're a talker, not a listener," interrupted Trowa
"Trowa the magnificent strikes again!" cheered Jasmine.
"Ok, back to business. It seems to me we're gonna need some bigger guns
on this. I suggest you enlist Hilde's help in order to track down some
info off the Wired.
"Thanks Trowa. One last thing though. Do you mind if I give you a peck
and a hug?"
Trowa sat silent for several moments. "Just a hug."
Jasmine giggled. "Ok." With his consent given Jasmine barreled toward the
terror struck Trowa. Just then Catherine walked in.
"Ahem." Catherine shouted out to make aware her presence.
"Hey Catherine." Jasmine stammered looking up from the ground where she
lay on top of Trowa.
Trowa got up calmly brushing off the dirt. "Thanks for teaching me that
counter Heero. I'm sure that will be effective next time I have one on
one combat."
Jasmine caught on missing only a beat or two. She replied in deadpan, "No
problem. Next time around we should do a little more sparing to hone our
techniques."
Catherine looked on hesitantly but nevertheless a smile soon lit up her
face. "Next times do it outside boys. You're liable to hurt someone else
in here."
"Sure thing Catherine," replied Trowa. "I'll see Heero out then."
At the exit the two exchange well wishes though Jasmine was denied another
hug. Jasmine then set out to complete her mission giving Trowa a puppy
dog frown as she walked away.
