As Alexis came into the kitchen, she yawned and stretched towards the ceiling. "Mornin' all." she said, sitting down next to Heero. Quatre passed a tray of sliced fruit towards her and smiled. "Glad to see you're up. Did you sleep well?" Alexis nodded and picked a few things off of the tray. "Very well, thanks." Heero served her some french toast and then stood up. "I have to get some things taken care of... I'll be back later." He then walked off, leaving the other pilots and Alexis at the table. As Heero left, Duo leaned back in his chair and folded his arms behind his head with a glint in his eyes. "Soo.. Alexis.. how'd you sleep again?" Alexis shot Duo a look and Quatre, Trowa and Wufei all looked at Alexis curiously. "What's he talking about Alexis?" Quatre asked, getting up from his seat to get the pot of hot water for his tea. "She just ended up in a brutal tounge war with
the perfect soldier. That's all." Duo stated matter-of-factly. Quatre froze and dropped his teacup and even Trowa could find emotion as he looked shocked. Wufei froze in his chair and nearly fainted. "Heero... kissed someone? As in.. he did it on his own will?" Trowa asked amazed. "Oh geez people!" Alexis groaned, throwing her hands in the air. "It's not like we're having sex or something! I mean for pete's sake, he kissed me. That's all!" Quatre came out of his coma and bent down to pick up the shattered pieces of teacup. "Oh Quatre.. let me help you with that." Alexis knelt down to pick up pieces of porcelain. "Well it would explain why Heero's been acting so strangely." Wufei said, putting his dishes away. "Yeah, it would." Trowa admitted. "Can we please not talk about it? It's kinda, well you know, personal." Alexis said, throwing the handful of ceramic in the trash can. "Sure Alexis, no problem." Duo said, smirking. "I'll just ask Heero!" Alexis's head
snapped up and she made a diving lunge, grasping Duo's ankle. Duo fell down onto the floor and Alexis scrambled onto the back of the pilot. "You will NOT bother Heero with all this, it's our buisiness and I think he'd agree when I say we'd like to keep it that way." With that, Alexis got up and off of Duo's back and grabbed her white jacket, walking out of the cabin in a blaze of anger and frustration. "Man.. only she'd be the one Heero'd go with. I mean, she's as insane and crazy as that guy. And hell, she's got the guts to slap him, shoot him, right up Heero's alley eh?" Duo said, standing up and brushing his pants off. "Duo, why don't you just drop it like she asked?" Trowa
inquired, getting Quatre the broom to get the last pieces of porcelain.
Alexis found herself walking through the woods alone. She kicked at some gravel and looked up into the trees. It was early in the morning, well mid-morning that is. She smiled and grasped a tree branch and swung herself up into the tree. She climbed a little ways, maybe 15 feet off of the ground. She sat on the branch and swung her feet, idly daydreaming. She remembered yesterday, when Heero'd told her that it wasn't safe for her to be about and alone. She knew she'd have felt safer if Heero were with her, but she didn't want to deal with the other four pilots. Especially Duo. Heero'd understand that. She leaned against the tree's trunk and closed her eyes, wondering how akward she'd look asleep in the limbs of a pine tree. Alexis didn't think she'd sleep long, if at all. She heard the voices of the pilots calling her name. Quatre and Trowa. She looked to the sky, at least four hours had passed. Had she really slept that long? She quietly climbed the tree higher, keeping as still as she could, so not to alert the two below her. She looked down and caught sight of Trowa ahead of Quatre. "She didn't run off you don't think?" Quatre shook his head. "No, she wouldn't run off. I don't think that is. I mean, Heero'd find her, she knows that. I'm sure he's frantic right now. When he came home, he tore the place apart looking for her. I hope Duo's okay.. Heero hit him pretty hard." Trowa nodded, "Well Duo.. was sort of asking for it. I mean, I do feel a little sorry for him. He's not going to get rid of that headache anytime soon." Quatre and Trowa walked some more, calling out Alexis's name. She made not a sound until they passed. She
breathed heavily, as she'd been holding her breath quite a while. As she did, a sound rustled in the trees and a pair of Prussian blue eyes stared into her green ones. "Heero..." Alexis sighed. Heero leaned forward and grasped her in his arms. He pulled her close, inhaling the smell of her body wash, deodorant and her shampoo all at once. "Christ Alexis.. don't scare me like that." Alexis shook her head, "Oh Heero, I'm sorry. I just.." Heero pulled back a little and nodded. "I know
Alexis.. come on, let's just get home okay? We'll talk then." Alexis nodded and Heero led her down the long descent down the tree.
