Terrible Tuesday
Miaka and Yui stood on opposite sides
of their room, going through the closets. "Miaka..." Yui slowly muttered,
"Where are my clothes?" The gum in Miaka had in her mouth popped
noisily, "I dunno. I lent the top of the outfit you gave me to Soi, and
the bottom to Bra." Miaka heard something crack and when she looked up,
the closet door was hanging off of its hinges. "Tamahomeeee!" Miaka squealed
as Yui advanced upon her. In the room where Tamahome was, they were having
their own problems. "Where are most of my suits?" Tasuki wailed. "I burned
them." Nakago stated plainly, "I needed to practice my aim." Tasuki growled
and pulled out his fan. Nakago prepared an energy blast. A shrill music
brought everyone to their knees. Amiboshi stood in front of the window,
outlined by the light shining through.
"What did you that for?" Tamahome
shouted. Suboshi appeared next to Amiboshi, kneeling down. "Please, be
quiet." Amiboshi said, " No fighting. We don't know what this new author
will do." wicked laughter came down from above> Miaka and Yui ran in
from their rooms. Miaka ran to Tamahome, and clung tightly, and surprisingly,
Yui ran to Suboshi. Suboshi was shocked, but then ran his fingers through
her hair. Just then, the doorbell rang. Everyone looked at each other and
dashed out of the room. As they hit the hallway, they were met with the
others. Out of the whole group, Bra and Pan were the first to reach the
door. When they opened it, a teenage girl stood outside. She had red hair,
the was done in a ponytail; green eyes, that held no signs; and wore a
denim skirt with a black shirt, leggings, and boots.
"Who are you?" Bulma questioned.
She looked at them with emotionless eyes. "I seek the one called Vegeta."
she stated. Bulma moved in front of Bra and Pan. "He's not feeling well
and won't be able to see anyone until Wednesday." "I'll wait then." She
brushed past everyone in one fluid motion. The door slammed shut as she
crossed the room. Nakago moved in front of her. "We want to know who you
are." She looked up at him then placed her hand on his chest. The stray
pieces of her hair floated backwards as she blasted Nakago into the wall.
Heero and Duo were instantly at both of her sides, their guns placed at
her temple. She turned slightly and glanced at both of them. They flew
backwards and she pinned them to the wall with her mind. She tucked her
hair behind her ear and walked on.
She bounced up the stairs on her
tip toe. She turned back around, and snapped her fingers. Duo and Heero
fell from the wall, their indents still there. She turned back around and
was face to face with the unmasked face of Chichiri. He placed his staff
at his side and stared at her. She stared back. He gave a slight nod and
she smiled. "Android 30." She patted him on the shoulder as she walked
by. Bulma and everyone else were up the stairs in seconds flat as she disappeared
around the corner. "Who is she?" Bulma asked. Soi, helping Nakago, came
up the stairs a few minutes after. "An Android. Android 30." Bulma gasped,
"Another one!?" Amiboshi separated from the group and walked down the same
hall 30 did. He heard a door creak open, and as he went further, saw it
close.
He walked to it and stood to the
side. He reached for the doorknob, but the door opened back up. 30 stepped
back out into the hallway and looked at Amiboshi. She motioned for him
to move inside. He looked skeptical until she narrowed her eyes. He walked
inside and pinched himself, just as she shut the door behind her. Back
with the group, Suboshi gasped and jumped, rubbing his arm. He groaned
and everyone turned to look at him. He looked at them, then back at his
arm, as writing began to appear. Everyone except the FY group gasped. Suboshi
read it aloud, "Suboshi. I'm with the new girl. She's in the fifth room
down the hall. She's not saying-- Um..." More writing appeared, "Much.
I don't think she wants to harm us." He wiped his arm off and looked
at them.
He walked off down the hall. He stopped
in front of the door and kicked it open. Before he even stepped inside,
he was blown back through the door and into the other room. 30 stood up
and glared at him. "Don't do that again. I resent being disturbed. Next
time, I'll kill you." She flicked her wrist from where she was, and the
door slammed shut. Suboshi staggered to his feet. "Don't think she wants
to harm us? Amiboshi, no baka!" All after noon, everyone stayed out
of Android 30's way. Every time they saw her, they'd turn back around and
walk her direction until they found an escape route. Only a few were courageous
enough to walk past her, or even strike up a conversation with her. Whenever
someone, or something, got in her way, she'd blast it.
30 was in the den lying out on the
couch. Her eyes were closed and she had that rhythmic breathing of someone
who was asleep. Hilde, Relena, and Noin walked in and spotted her. They
quickly turned and hurried back out. 30 rolled over and her arm hung over
the side of the couch. She say up suddenly. "Vegeta..." The single word
came out of her mouth in a hoarse whisper. The rest of the day flew by
quickly. 30 locked herself in the den and never left. As soon as the clock
struck midnight, though, she got up and unlocked the door. Trowa, Quatre,
Duo, Heero, Wufei, Tamahome, Tasuki, and Chiriko fell through, landing
on top of each other in a crumpled pile. 30 growled and stepped over them.
She floated upstairs and down the
hall, towards the area where Vegeta's room was located. She stopped near
the end of the hall, and opened the door on the right. The room was dark
and the only light was the dim one coming from outside. As soon as she
shut the door behind her, Vegeta sat up in bed. "M--Masaka!" He glanced
at the door and jumped out of bed. He disappeared and reappeared in front
of Android 30. He pinned her against the wall and held her by the throat.
"You are a plague to me! You haunt my dreams! And now... you show up here!?"
He pressed the back of his arm against her throat and moved her up the
side of the wall. She looked at him with eyes calm and cloudy. "I... found
you." she choked out, "They say Androids can't love; 18 did, and I am also."
Vegeta growled, but then a remembering
feeling came back. He let go of 30 and she fell back to the floor. Vegeta
held his back and staggered back to the bed. "Damn, foolish boy..." he
grumbled. 30 moved to his side. He batted away her hand as she held it
out to help. "Are you ok? What happened?" Vegeta dropped back in the bed
and turned away from her. "Vegeta. Talk to me-- or else, I'll kill her."
Yeah, right." Vegeta laughed. 30 walked over to the bed and looked at a
little switch. "What's this do?" She pushed it and the bed folded up into
two, with Vegeta still in it. He growled and stretched himself back out,
along with the bed. "What are you doing here?" he shouted, "It's not Wednesday."
She blinked twice and stated in a little girl's voice, "Yes it is..."
