*****Chapter Six*****
A/n: Erm…this chapter might not be all the best. I guess you could say this is where I flipped a little bit of romance in. I know, it's supposed to be humor, but…uh…okay, I don't have an excuse, sue me! And like a few other of the chapters, this is split up into different sections. Sorry if it's confusing.
Leaning against a tree stood Wufei, listening intently to the girl sitting on the ground. They'd known each other for five hours tops, and he felt like he knew her inside and out. That he could trust her with anything.
"Yea…my parents died when I was really young…" Makoto said, finishing off a sentence. She picked up a stick and started twirling it around in fingers. Why did she just tell him this? This man whom she had earlier been so angry with. Why was she telling him her life story as if it where nothing. It took months for Usagi to coax her out of her…but him? It took him…well…he didn't even coax her. She just started talking…and couldn't stop.
"My parents abandoned me and left me on one of the colonies…I guess they never cared to meet their son." Wufei said in low whispers.
"That's not true…"
"How would you know?"
"Because no parent would ever do that…"
"They did it to me." Wufei stated. It was simple and it was a fact. There was no way
Getting around it, yet this… this ^woman^ dared to contradict it.
"Maybe it was financial problems. Parents do that sometimes, ya know? Kids come unexpectedly and they don't know what to do."
"They should have been more prepared."
"I see where your coming from, Wufei…" Makoto started, "but you don't even know why they left you, do you?"
"Of course I do! Because they didn't want me!"
"Who told you that?" Makoto asked softly, looking up at Wufei.
"…No one. I just…assumed it…"
Makoto snickered.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Haven't you ever heard that you shouldn't assume things? Especially things you don't know? You'd be…oh…what's the word?" Makoto pretended to think. "Foolish."
"I'm not foolish!"
"But you're assuming that your parents left you 'cause they didn't want you. You do this without having any facts to support your assumption. That, my friend, is foolish."
Wufei growled. "The only foolish one is you!"
"Now you're just throwing words at yourself…"
Wufei stopped, closing his mouth. 'By the gods…' he thought 'she is right.'
Makoto looked towards the silenced boy. "It is awful that you never saw your parents, but I doubt it was because they didn't want you." She moved towards him, looking over his tight ponytail. "Doesn't that thing hurt?
"Does what hurt?" Wufei asked, now looking up.
"This." Makoto replied, pulling out the holder to Wufei's ponytail.
"BAKA ONNA!!" Wufei shouted and chased after the now running Makoto. "Come back here!!"
Makoto laughed, turning her head back to glance at the angry Wufei. "Goda catch me fi----rst!!"
Wufei growled and chased after Makoto. The two ran around in circles for quit sometime. Finally, Wufei hid behind a tree and waited for Makoto to circle around. It took a couple times around the tree before Makoto realized that Wufei wasn't behind her ranting about injusticeness anymore. As she was coming to a stop, she felt a harsh, but strangely gentle pull on her arm. The next thing she knew she was pinned against the tree she had been circling, gazing into the dark eyes of Wufei, who had a pleasant new look. His hair fell onto his shoulders, and that awful hairline was gone. It fell into his eyes, which were actually very nice if you looked at them up close. He was actually (: Fake Gasp: Dare I say it?) nice looking.
Wufei studied the deep green eyes of the young woman's eyes. They were magnificent…wonderful. He extended his hand and wisped away a short piece of brown, curly hair behind Makoto's ear. That's all he ^intended^ to do. Wufei found himself caressing her cheeks softly with one finger, feeling the smoothness of her skin. He opened his whole hand and gently stroked her cheek. Makoto leaned into his hand, her eyes fluttering shut. In an instant that seemed like an eternity, Wufei leaned forward and placed his lips to hers with a surprising gentleness.
"Mako-chan…" Wufei whispered, his lips brushing Makoto's as he spoke.
-----------------------------------------
"Yea," Rei nodded, agreeing with herself, " I run the temple. I mean, Grandpa's there…and this really big baka, too, but mainly I do. It's called the Cheery Hill Temple. Really nice place, actually. I live there, too. And none of my friends go to the same school, but its okay, really, because we're all so close, anyways." Rei was talking at a very quick speed, almost too fast for Trowa to pick up what she was saying. And she was still clinging desperately to Trowa's arm, which he didn't really mind…yet.
Trowa nodded, still trying to keep up with Rei. Yes, it was true. He had taken a small fancy with her, but man oh man…how much could one person talk!? He stopped and took a seat at a bench.
Rei blushed a bit, realizing that Trowa had yawned. "I'm sorry…I've been babbling all this time haven't I? I do that…when I get nervous."
"Nervous?" Trowa questioned. "Why would you be nervous?"
"'Cause you're here…I mean…well…"
Trowa smiled. "It's fine…" He said.
Rei moved the brown hair out of his eyes again. It seemed like she had done that a million and one times since they had been walking. "Is there anything you'd like to say?"
Trowa glanced at the girl with both his emerald eyes. "I'm not as interesting as you…"
Rei laughed lightly. "I bet that's a lie…"
Trowa shook his head. "No, not really." He sighed for a minute. It wasn't like him at all to do much of any talking, really. But it was obvious that this girl wasn't going to give up until he said something…not that he didn't mind talking to this girl. Ugh! He was so confused. He had never liked talking, but here Trowa Barton was sitting ready to carry on a full conversation with this raven-haired girl. What was going on? "I…worked in a circus."
"Really?" Rei questioned, smiling.
Trowa nodded. "Yea…Catherine threw knives at me…and…I worked with animals sometimes."
"Knives? That's awful…"
Trowa shook his head. "No…Catherine was very careful…"
Before he knew it…Trowa was telling exerts from his life, leaving out all the information on the gundams. Even if they did get close…he couldn't tell Rei about his former piloting. Besides…she wouldn't really believe them. 'Anyone who lies eyes on a gundam…shall never live to tell about it' Trowa thought, running the memory through his mind. Trowa shook his head once more, not wanting to remember his former job as a pilot. They had blown all them up, anyways. There was no way that anyone would ever have to see them again.
Rei nodded, listening patiently. Trowa had no parents, but had some pretty good friends. He explained how, even though he rarely showed it, he really ^did^ appreciate their company and moral support, especially from Quatre. Trowa explained how the two had become very close and had some of the same ideas about different things.
Trowa looked up from telling his story and managed a small smile. "I believe I'm the one boring you now, beautiful angel…"
Rei blushed, biting her bottom lip. Did he just complement her? "I…I…thanks..."
"For?"
"The…the compliment."
Trowa laughed a bit. "No problem…"
Rei nodded and stood up. "Should we continue our walk?"
Trowa nodded, too, and also stood up. "I think we shall." He took his hand in hers and moved his hair in front of his eyes. The two walked and had a pleasant little conversation. And this time…Rei wasn't the one doing all the talking.
-----------------------------------------
Ami looked up at the blonde who she was seated next to. He was so kind, so thoughtful. Ami considered even have feelings for him, but she didn't dare tell him such a thing.
"So you're studying to be a doctor?"
Ami nodded in response to Quatre. "Yes, I am. How about you?"
He shrugged, running his free hand through his hair. "I haven't made any permanent plans for my future. I'm still relatively young, you know? I'd like to enjoy life while I can."
"But what about…when you're too old to work or something?" Ami asked.
Quatre shrugged again. "I don't have to, really. My father was a rather wealthy man…" Quatre stopped and flushed. "My gosh…I'm bragging…I apologize, ma'am."
Ami shook her head. "What happened to your parents?"
"Well…my father died in a…an…accident…" Quatre said, recalling what had ^really^ happened. It wasnt an accident at all, truley, his father had done it to hismelf. It was in the terrible war between Earth and the Colonies. And his foolish father…went and…Quatre shook his head. He was happy now, and he didn't want to recall on hurtful memories. " I don't remember ever meeting my mother, either."
Ami frowned. "I'm sorry to hear that…"
Quatre smiled and ran his hands through Ami's silky, short hair. "It doesn't matter now. I'm happy…and I believe that's all that counts."
Ami returned the smile…and was about to speak before Quatre's lips closed in on her and met with an awkward kiss, the action unfamiliar to both of them.
-----------------------------------------
Minako growled, water dripping from her shirt. How could he? That was so rude! He just pushed her into the lake and walked off into never-never land just leaving her there. Whatta jerk!
She stormed off, going to find Duo and…and…Well…she didn't quit know at the moment. But that's what she was going to go do!
-----------------------------------------
Duo lied on the ground, panting. My, oh my, what a rush. Of course, both their clothes were now on and they looked presentable. It had bee about an hour…and they managed to get everything done in that time.
Usagi smiled in delight and licked her lips, now simply curled up under Duo's arm. She stifled a yawn as she saw Makoto and Wufei emerging from the forest. As the neared closer, both of them stood up and brushed their selves off.
"Glad to see you two have finished." Wufei muttered.
"Heh...heh…" Duo laughed nervously. He had totally forgotten about everyone else.
"Wufei…" Usagi asked, wiping a red substance off of his lips. "What's this?" She held up her finger to show the red stuff smeared across her finger.
Wufei glanced at Makoto who was blushing a very deep crimson.
"Oh…my…gosh…" Duo started, his jaw practically on the floor, and his eyes wider then plates, "Wu-man kissed a girl!! I THINK THE WORLDS GUNA END!!!" He screeched and ran around in small circles, yelling at the top of his lungs. " A GIRL A GIRL!! HE KISSED A GIRL!!"
Wufei grabbed the back of Duo's shirt. "Remember that threat I made earlier, Maxwell? Yea…you remember. Well…if you don't shut up…I'll warn you. I'm about two seconds from fulfilling that threat…" He spoke in a very low voice, growling now. His hair was back in a ponytail and he had the tough look that he had earlier.
Duo stopped and gulped. "Alright, Alright…but man o' man…you..."
Wufei nudged Duo with his usual roughness.
"Ouch!" Duo yelped and rubbed his sides. "I'll shut up, man, I'll shut up…"
Usagi walked over to Makoto, a broad grin across her face. "Makoto got a kiiiiiss…"
Makoto flushed once more and looked over to Usagi, nodding. "Did I ever."
"Was it nice?"
Makoto nodded again. "Better then I thought it would be."
Usagi giggled, realizing Ami, Quatre, Trowa, and Rei all coming back. "You'll have to fill me in on all the details later…" She whispered and walked towards Duo, waving at the approaching group.
Rei and Trowa came back to the group, Rei still clinging to Trowa's arm in an almost desperate manner. Quatre and Ami came walking up in a casual, friendly manner, showing no sign that they had bonded over the past hour or so.
"How's everything?" Rei asked, directing the question to Usagi particularly.
"Uh…things are great!" Usagi said, nodding fast-like. "Just dandy. Oh, hey! Its Minako!"
Minako approached the group, drenched to the bone. She forgot about everyone else and grabbed Duo in a wild, crazy kiss. Duo stepped back from the rather enjoyable kiss…only to see the frenzied eyes of Usagi.
"Duo-kun…how come you never told me about this?" Usagi asked, trying as hard as possible to maintain a cool voice.
"Uh…'cause I didn't know it would happened?" Duo asked in response to the question.
"Wrong answer," Usagi replied, picking up the picnic basket. She ran after Duo…(who was running for his hinny) with the basket, making wild swings, attempting to somehow knock him over and give him a piece of her mind, which would in the long run hurt fairly badly.
Fortunately for Duo…and his sexy booty, Usagi never had the chance to catch him. He stood behind Minako, quivering with fear. "I swear I'm a good boy, I swear!!"
Usagi found herself in unfamiliar arms, gazing into the Persian, emotionless eyes of a tan face. "E…excuse me, Heero." Usagi spoke.
Heero glanced away, seemingly indifferent to the gorgeous blonde that was sprawled in his arms. He was about to dispose of the girl…when he heard a loud, gut ranching screech from behind him and then a hard smack in the back of his head.
"Heeeero!! HOW COULD YOU!?" Relena's voice came from behind him.
Usagi tipped on one foot to see Relena and smiled innocently. "Whatever it was…" Usagi said through slightly clenched teeth, "I didn't do it."

^ So I was enjoying my life, right, when all the sudden I remember I don't have a life.
-.-() I am so terribly sorry, again, that this came out late. I just can't get the ideas flowing for some reason. I know I promised I just…never got around to it. Thank you for the reviews, and please find it in your heart to forgive me! The next one will be out sooner because I have school off really soon and I'll have lots of time to write!
