Part 2: The Upper Hand
Heero and Duo chased the
girls through the department store. They only stopped when they saw them, and
then realized where they were standing, in the middle of the lingerie
department. Duo instantly felt his cheeks turn a bright crimson as he realized
he was faced with lacy bras. Heero too felt his cheeks stain with a very faint
shade of pink.
In the near by makeup
counter conservative old ladies were buying perfume. They saw Heero and Duo and
stared for a moment. The stares quickly changed to dirty looks. They leaned over
and started to whisper to each other "How improper...how dare those
boys....the nerve of those young men....how dreadful..."
Miranda noticed Heero, Duo,
and the old ladies she leaned over to Relena "Check it out Relly, looks
like we've embarrassed, the preventers. We've got the upper hand now."
Relena looked at the two ex-gundam pilots and giggled. Miranda watched her,
shiny eyes and cute dumb smile. There was no doubt about it, Relena was in love
with Heero Yuy.
Love. She hated that word,
it was the stupidest emotion she'd ever seen. Sensible mature adults turned into
lightheaded ninnies. Miranda took pride in the fact she never loved anyone. Why
love? Love was a way to break your heart, to let someone use you, to be a
victim. She didn't need love, a frozen heart worked fine for her.
Miranda looked at Relena grinning
in her reverie and rolled her eyes "Relena! Earth to Relena! Relly!"
Relena snapped back into reality "Uh what?"
Miranda
stated "We're going out tonight." Relena raised an eyebrow "And your parent's will let us?"
Miranda smiled "No, but that doesn't matter. I'm an expert at sneaking out
of the house."
Her voice dropped to a whisper
"Here's what you're going to do. Tell your brother you're sleeping over at
my house. Bring your shopping bags over. At my house we'll get dressed and sneak
out to the club."
"How will we get past your
dad?" Relena asked. Miranda replied "Oh, my dad never notices. I do it
all the time." Relena smiled "Okay."
By this time Heero and Duo had
come to their senses and started walking towards the two girls. Duo stepped up
to them "You are in big trouble, do you know how long, it took us to find
you-"
Miranda cut him off "Oh
you're finally here, good. You can carry our bags now." Duo groaned.
Relena took a deep breath and
tried hard to act, aggressive like Miranda had explained she repeated to herself
I have the upper hand. I can do this. I am a strong independent woman, I do
not need Heero Yuy. have the upper hand. I can do this. I am a strong independent
woman, I do not need Heero Yuy. have the upper hand. I can do this. I am a
strong independent woman, I do not need Heero Yuy....
"Heero," Relena
began "I'm staying over Miranda's house tonight. You can take our things to
her house and notify Milliardo." Miranda gave an encouraging smile as she
thought That's it Relena, you've got! Make the bastard suffer!
Heero stood in total shock. How
did this happen? He thought How did my Relena-wait MY Relena? Where did
that come from. How did Relena, get to be so different. Normally Relena
listened to what he said. She was compliant and well behaved, but today...Today
she ran away from him and went on a shopping spree. Bitchy spoiled friend of
hers!
Duo felt his arms sink at
the weight of the shopping bags Shimatta! Why do these bags have to be so
heavy? What did they buy, bricks! And what the hell has gotten into oujosan?! Duo
ran after the girls who hadn't bothered to wait for him and Heero. And already
were getting ready to leave the store.
