My Heart Will Go On
Chapter four: Friends in the Making
Jennet stared out side the spacecraft MO2 in shock. 'Earth' she thought had always been what she had expected. She remembered the day she left earth with her family. 'It was so long ago.' She thought once again. 'But were we suppose to come here? Did that man mean to send us here?" in the back Quatre slowly opened the cabin door and entered sitting down next to her. He stayed quiet so not to disturb her.
"Its so beautiful." She whispered to him.
"How did you know I was here?" he asked, her shoulders just shrugged. Quatre took the seat next to her. He studied her profile carefully; she was one of the most beautiful women that he had ever seen there was something very different about her, which was very intriguing. "Who are you?" he said, seconds later wishing that it had stayed in his mind.
"I'm Jennet Star." She said turning towards him.
"I'm Qu- Preventers Winner."
"Its nice to meet you."
"The pleasure is all mine." They both returned to their silence.
"What's it like?" she suddenly asked.
"What is what like?"
"Living on Earth."
"You must have been to Earth sometime." He said.
"Not really I left when I was very young." She said looking a way.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
"Where have you been all this time then?"
"Here there just about every where. I'm actually surprised that you guys didn't recognize us."
"Well you shocked my friends when you didn't know who we were." She smiled at him.
"Yeah."
"Can I ask you a personal question?" Quatre asked.
"Um sure."
"What were those…things that you guys were fighting I noticed that similar arms came from your ship. They were incredible who designed them?"
"O. Well Jim Hawking and I worked on your ship. He's the other guy not the one with same colored hair as me. And the other ship…well…you could say that they were some old friends checking to see that we had a nice welcoming present."
"Nice friends. So tell me more about your ship. I find it very different."
"That's because it is you see the genetic outline is controlled by a very different power source none that the entire universe has ever used, unfortunately we decided to test it and-"
"Winner!"
"Jennet!" both looked up to see Wufia at one door and Gene at another, both glaring. Jennet sighed and stood up.
"Well it was nice talking to you while it lasted."
"Same here." The two walked past eachother and headed towards their respective comrade. Jennet followed Gene out,
"What was that all about?" she asked.
"You were going to tell him about Mel."
"So what its not like he could do anything we have already discovered that they are under developed and therefore pose no threat to us."
"But they might have friends that understand the structure of the ship."
"What if I could talk them into only letting us touch it plus we still have Ashia in there to guard it and I have a feeling that she would be able to take on this whole base after all the stuff that you guys have been through together."
"Maybe but still I'm not taking any risks."
"What Gene are you feeling okay. You are actually being responsible."
"Shut up." He smirked patting his head. "Plus what would Jim say if he found out that you were flirting with a Preventers?'
"I was not. There aren't that many people that share my interest in ship structure. Plus I would like to learn about those things that they piloted themselves."
"Sure sis whatever you say."
**
"Winner what were you doing with that girl?" Wufia asked as they walked down the hallway.
"We were having a nice conversation until you interrupted it."
"Well Lady Une wants to see you. Each of us are being assigned to watch one of them and if you ask me all of them are a little weird if you know what I'm saying."
"I know there is something very different about all of them and its kinda creepy in a way."
"True. Well I'll see ya later Wufia."
"Bye." Quatre slowly entered Une's office.
"You wanted to see me, Lady?"
"Yes Quatre. Quatre how much do you know about that ship that you found?"
"Just about nothing. The scanners didn't pick up any energy sources on board so we have no idea how it runs."
"I see."
"Do you know any way to retrieve this information."
"Yes one of the people that we took into custody was on board the ship and she seems to know a lot about it. She and this other young man seem to be the handy workers on board."
"Quatre I want you to see how much information you can get out of this girl and at the same time I want you to protect her."
"What for Lady?"
"We scanned their names into our database and they have no signs of existence. If people learn that we have a very unusual ship in our possession then they might think that aliens are coming or some might want to get there hands on it. To make it short it would make world chaos
"I understand."
"Then you know why we must protect the girl."
"Well know."
"Because Quatre. Anyone trying to get their hands on it will try to go for the weakest link."
"Like her."
"That's right Quatre so you better start making friends with her real fast and may I suggest that you get you fellow comrades involved to especially Heero and Duo."
"Yes mam."
"Good night Quatre."
"Good night lady." With that Quatre left the room and headed towards his own. 'I wonder what's going to happen next.' He sighed as he entered his room.
**
Jennet turned and entered the cafeteria. 'This makes no sense they take us captive but yet they don't even lock us up, weird."
"Well hello beautiful." Jennet turned to see Duo standing there smirking, "Hungry?"
"Well yes actually."
"Follow me I know what foods you should eat and not eat." She smiled and followed him.
"Can I ask you a question?" she asked as she picked up some food."
"Sure."
"How come you guys didn't lock us up?"
"Cause," Duo said sitting down, "You guys came quietly and you surrendered all your weapons."
"Even with that little scene on the ship where I broke your handcuffs you trust us?"
"Well yeah I guess we do."
"Wow! There's a first, in the past we are locked up so fast it makes are heads spin."
"You very experienced, then?"
"You know it." He smiled and put his hand forward.
"My name is Preventers Duo Maxwell."
"Nice to meet you Preventers Maxwell I'm Jennet Star."
"Nice to meet you Miss Star-"
"Please just call me Jennet, I hate formal names." Duo chuckled.
"You remind me so much of one of my friends."
"Jennet!" Jennet looked up to see Jim coming towards her, when he noticed Duo he glared.
"Jim I would like you to meet Preventers Maxwell."
"Hello." Jim said bluntly.
"Nice to meet you to Jim." He said smirking.
"What is it Jim?" Jennet asked.
"Gene wants to talk to us about something with Melfina he said she's," he glanced at Duo, "You know…" Jennet frowned then it clicked.
"O." she looked at Duo, "Sorry I got to go, it was nice chatting with you maybe I'll see you around, bye." The two ran out of the room.
"Later." Duo called after them.
**
"Mel are you alright?" Jennet called as soon as they got to their chambers.
"I'm alright Gene is making a bigger deal out of it then he should. I'm fine really."
"What happened Gene?"
"You tell me. All of a sudden she started flashing lights."
"It's just my way of checking to make sure all my circuits are in proper order."
"Okay then." Jennet said sitting down on one of the beds.
"Well it's a good thing that you got her in here Gene, who knows what they might have done if they saw Melfina."
"They might wanna know everything about her." Gene said glaring at Jennet.
"What?" she asked defensively.
"We don't want them to know everything about us, Jennet."
"You need to be more careful around them." Jim added.
"I caught her talking to one of them earlier this evening." Gene said shaking his head, "They were talking about ships."
"What? I just caught her talking with one in the lunch room."
"JENNET!" the both yelled.
"Well excuse me if I have a strange fascination with actually talking to people. We don't know how long we are going to be here so we might as well get comfortable."
"Let's just all go to bed we have a long day tomorrow."
**
Quatre came out of his room and brushed his wet bangs from his forehead. "Morning" he said as some people past him on their way to wherever they were going. He slowly headed down the cafeteria. He slowly entered and looked at his friends, they were all looking at a section of that day's newspaper, minus Duo who was making towers with his French toast sticks. "Morning guys." Quatre said taking a seat.
"Business?" Trowa asked not looking up from his section of the paper.
"Sure." Heero tossed the section over to Quatre while he served himself, and the friends ate in silence.
"How many days till we get back to headquarters?" Duo asked, "Hilde is gonna kill me if I don't get home soon." Wufia chuckled,
"She has you so rapped."
"Not as rapped as Sally has you."
"Don't bring her into this! And I am not whipped."
"Sure." Duo said rolling his eyes. The others couldn't help but laugh at Wufia.
"So how are we going to get our prisoners to headquarters, they may have come quietly this far but once we get there they might not." Trowa said.
"I say we turn on a little of my fabulous charm and the girl will be ours for the taking and I'm sure those boys will follow her any where." Duo said, suddenly his chair whirled around and he was faced to face with Gene,
"You stay away from my sister," he growled, "You wanna know something about the ship you ask him," he pointed towards Jim, "But never ever go near Jennet, do you understand braid boy?" he growled.
"Yep." Duo said sitting as far back in his chair as he could.
"Good." Gene let go of his chair,
"Where is she anyway?" asked Quatre, "She shouldn't be alone on this ship." He quickly added. Gene smirked,
"Late sleeper." Jim and Gene headed towards another table and began eating.
"Well this does but a damper on things." Quatre mumbled.
"For what?" Duo asked before he stuffed his face with food.
"I was assigned to her as protection and its not going to be real easy if I have to keep protecting myself against an insane older brother."
"You got that right." Heero said with a slight smirk on his face.
**
Jennet walked down the halls again, "Hello Jennet." She stopped and turned to see Quatre walking down the hall towards her.
"Morning Preventers Winner."
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yes. Did you?"
"Yes." The two started walking in an uneasy silence.
"Did my brother give you the talk yet?"
"Talk?"
"The stay away from Jennet one?"
"O that one yep got that one this morning along with all my other friends."
"Sorry about that. Just ignore him he won't do anything."
"Good morning Miss Star. Quatre" the two looked to see Heero standing before them.
"Good morning, Preventers Yuy."
"Please just call me Heero. If there is anything that you need please feel free to ask me or any of my comrades, good day."
"Bye." Jennet called after him, "You know what?"
"What?"
"You people have weird ways of holding prisoners."
"Its mostly because of your intelligence, he probably wants you to fix his ship."
"All he had to do was ask, I'd be more then happy to."
"I'll tell him that." The two walked down the corridor together. When alarms started to flash they heard Duo's voice come over Quatre's walkie-talkie.
"Quatre get one of those guys from the Outlaw Star, something weird is going on this cat thing lunged at one of my-"
"Whatever you do don't shoot at it." Jennet said grabbing the walkie-talkie.
"What? Are you kidding?"
"I'm dead serious."
"Alright then you better get your butt down here and stop it."
"Jennet!" Jennet turned to see Jim running towards her. "What happening?"
"Ashia."
"Oh no."
"Lets go." The three some ran down to where the ship was being held. Jim and Jennet ran into the ship pushing past the guards.
"Hey." One of them yelled.
"It's all right, let them through." Quatre said.
"We got it from here boys." Jennet said as soon as Jim and herself made it to the platform.
"Whatever you say babe." Duo said then motioning for he men to follow him left.
"Cover me." Jim whispered.
"No you cover me." Jennet said back, Jim just smiled and followed her.
"Ashia?" Jim called.
"Ashia, its us Jim and Jennet. You can come out now." Slowly a figure emerged from the shadows, "Oh my god Ashia what did they do to you?" Jennet said running towards her friend that now looked like she had been through a hurricane.
"The shot at me for awhile." She said while Jim pulled out the first aid kit and started to patch her up.
"Are you alright though?" Jennet asked looking over her carefully.
"Yes I'm fine."
"Ashia what made you come out when we told you to stay hidden." Ashia blushed,
"I fell asleep." The three broke out laughing.
**
All eyes turned towards the Outlaw Star, "What could be going on in there? There has been no screams or yelling and no shots fired." Duo said.
"Q-man I'm worried about them."
"Its sounds like to me that they know this…this thing and will get it to come out quietly." Just then three figures emerged from the ship. All eyes stared at Jim and Jennet but turned heads to the creature that walked behind them, standing at a good few inches taller then them with long white hair and very cat like.
"Oh my god." Trowa whispered, from behind them. "That's amazing."
"What is it?" Quatre could only stare at the creature till he felt a tug on his arm and looked down the see Jennet looking up at him.
"Hmm?" suddenly becoming very aware of how close they were to eachother.
"Um could you get everyone to stop staring at her its making her uncomfortable?"
"Um sure." Quatre said still looking into her eyes.
"Jennet sweetheart could you come here please." Jim said glaring at Quatre.
"Sure be there in a sec. Thank you." Jennet said to Quatre.
"No problem." He looked at Jennet who seemed to hesitate for a minute before she pressed a kiss on his cheek and then walked over to where Jim and Ashia were standing.
"Come on we better go find Gene he is not going to be happy about this to say the least." Jim grabbed Jennet's hand and pulled her out of the room with Ashia in tow. Quatre just stood there watching them go, he slowly raised his hand to where she had pressed her lips to his cheek feeling a strong blush come on.
"Quatre?" he turned his attention back to his friends.
"What?" they all looked at his suspiciously. "What?"
"You have got it bad." Duo said turning and walking away.
"And I thought Maxwell was whipped." Wufia added and followed Duo out. Trowa just stood there looking at him.
"What?"
"You must have a death wish or something." Trowa said and left the room.
"What?" Quatre said innocently not getting what his friends were trying to say.
**
"Jennet what were you thinking?" Jim asked as he hauled her down the hallway to where Melfina and Genes room was.
"What are you talking about?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about." He yelled. Every one in the hallway stopped and looked at them. "What are you looking at?" he snapped they all turned and went about their business.
"Um guys just tell me where Gene is and I'll go and tell him what happened." The two pointed towards a door and Ashia went in as soon as she was safely inside. Jim grabbed Jennet and hauled her into there own room.
"Jim will you calm down your not making any sense."
"Any sense? Me not making any sense. Jennet you just kissed him."
"He was being kind and he earned it, he made people stop looking at us and all he has ever done since I met him is be nice to me."
"Jennet wouldn't I love to know what's going on inside your head. Don't you get it, he's just going to end up using you." Jennet burst out laughing, catching Jim off guard.
"Jim you have at all wrong." She said pushing him down onto the bed and sitting in his lap. "I'm using him." He gave her a puzzled glance, "Can't you see it he has got a total thing for me, all I have to do is rap him around my little finger and before you know it we will be out of here." Jennet looked at her in surprise.
"You know that's crazy enough that it just might work."
"I know." Jennet smiled and pressed her lips against his. "Now get out of here before Gene comes in and thinks that you and I were making out."
"What ever you say." He got up pressed another kiss on her lips and walked out the door.
**
Jennet wandered around the base looking for anything that might entertain her, she was very aware of the figure following her. She sighed,
"Why don't you come out already?" she called over her shoulder, yet she was surprised when a figure appeared out of the shadows. She stumbled back in surprised when Heero emerged,
"You shouldn't be out here alone." He stated flatly watching her.
"Sorry I didn't know I got bored in my quarters and decided to walk around."
"Mind if I join you?" he asked.
"Sure." She said and he joined her walking, with a thick silence between them, it was as if they were talking together in their minds.
"Are you ready to tell me?" he suddenly asked. Jennet stopped in her tracks.
"Tell you what?" she asked. He smirked and stopped.
"Who you really are."
"You already know every thing."
"No we don't, according to all records you and your friends never existed and that ship hasn't even been built yet."
"That's because…"
"You can tell me."
"I don't know if I can."
"How come."
"It might but myself and my friends in danger. But I can tell you this much you will never find any power device on board, it's powered by a being. That's all I can say, I must go." She suddenly took off down the hall towards her quarters part of her telling herself that she did the right thing the other saying that she shouldn't have ever said anything.
