Sailor Pilots 10
Are You
Satisfied?
.
I
do not own Gundam Wing nor Sailor Moon in any way, shape or form.
Quatre was doing some repairs to his gundam and the other magunac mobile suits. For him, he was just doing his job and he didn't really mind. But for Mina, it didn't matter if it was his job and she did mind. She peered over his shoulder.
"You've been working on your gundam for a long time, Quatre," she said, "it didn't get damaged much in the battles and plus, I don't think we'll have to fight again any time soon. So why are you working on it?"
"I just want to be prepared, that's all." Quatre told her. "I have a lot of other work to do too."
She folded her arms and watched him work a bit longer. Quatre was going to work himself to death if she didn't do anything soon. Of course he was rich and famous and had a lot on his shoulders. She knew that. But even Quatre Rabera Winner was entitled to some fun too! As an idea popped into her head, a smile spread across her face. Giggling, she reached over his head and whipped his goggles off in one fast motion.
"Got your goggles, Quatre!" she shouted.
"I don't have time for this," Quatre moaned, standing and turning around. "Give them back, please."
She hopped back, "you want your goggles back, Quatre?" she asked, swirling them on her finger.
"Yes."
"Then you'll have to catch me!" she laughed, turned around and burst into a run like everything was half off at the mall.
"Hey! Mina!" Quatre yelled from where he stood, "Please give me my goggles! They were a present from Rashid!" He groaned, 'Does she really expect me to chase her?'
"Come and get me if you want your goggles back!" she cried, throwing them in the air and catching them.
"I'll never forget this day!" he roared and ran after her, "this isn't funny!"
"I won't forget either!"
Abdul laughed and snickered to Ahmad, "is Master Quatre after his goggles or the pretty girl?"
"I heard that, Abdul!" Quatre snapped over his shoulder, his face turning scarlet. He really didn't need this. At least, he thought he didn't.
"Sorry, Master Quatre," Abdul apologized.
"Mina, come on! I have a lot of work to do! It's hard being an heir of a family business! If you think it's easy, you try it someday and see how you like it!" He followed her outside. "Please, please give my goggles back! I even said please!" He started panting, "You're going to give me a heart attack, Mina!"
"Oh, poooooor baby!" she laughed.
"How dare you take my goggles away!" he shouted, "I'm, I'm, QUATRE RABERA WINNER!"
"Oh, Quatre, you sound so cute when you're angry!"
Quatre gritted his teeth and ran harder. He was gaining on her. "Give me back my goggles!" He jumped and tackled her to the ground.
"Whoa!" She gasped.
"Now can I please have my goggles back?" he asked, once again trying to be polite.
"I'll remember again how important they are to you," she handed them back. "Here."
"Thank you." He pulled them back on his head.
"Satisfied now?"
"No," he grinned and reached over to the bow on her head. He undid the bow quickly and stepped back, swaying the ribbon side to side, "Now I am!" he turned and ran.
"Hey!" she shouted, "that's not fair!"
"Oh, yes it is!" he laughed. "Now we're even!"
"You're supposed to be a nice guy!" she got up and ran after him. "I'll never forget this, Quatre! Give me back my ribbon!"
"You'll have to catch me first!"
The magunacs ceased from whatever they were doing and watched Mina chase Quatre around.
"Run, Master Quatre," Ahmad said, "run, run!"
"Kids," Rashid muttered.
"I didn't know Master Quatre could run so fast!" Abdul shouted, "She's gaining on you, Master Quatre!"
"Don't encourage him!" Mina snapped at the magunacs as she chased him, "Help me get my ribbon back! My hair's flying in my face!"
"This is too priceless," Abdul commented. "Anyone have a camera?"
"You're embarrassing me in front of the magunac core, Quatre!"
"So did you!" Quatre barked.
"I'll never take your goggles again, I promise!" she shouted, starting to cry fake tears in hopes that he'll feel sorry and give the ribbon back. "Please give me back my ribbon! Whaaaaa!"
"Master Quatre, you made her cry!" shouted Rashid.
"I didn't mean too!" Quatre cried he stopped and turned around. "I'm sorry, Mina."
"I guess you had a reason to," she said. "I'm sorry too."
"We're not!" Abdul laughed.
Ahmad sighed. "Don't make Master Quatre angry!"
He walked up and tied the ribbon in her hair. "I'm going to go back to work now."
"So soon?" she asked, "Let's go out for lunch or something!"
"What?"
"It's a beautiful day, Quatre!" she shouted. "Let's go to the beach, you need a tan! Are you sure Arabian?"
"Yes I AM Arabian, Mina!"
She raised an eyebrow and looked at the Maguanacs. They nodded, proving that the blond, pale boy was actually Arabian.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled, "but you still need to go out and have some fun! Too much work is not good for you!"
"She's right, Master Quatre!" Ahmad shouted, "We'll do it for you while you go and have some fun. You're a teenager."
"Are you guys sure?" Quatre asked.
"Of course!" the 40 men shouted in unison.
"Are you insecure with being seen with me?" she asked. "You don't like me, do you?"
"Oh, no, no, no!" he said, taking her hand, "You're beautiful and I think you're great! It's just that, people know who I am! I might draw a croud!"
"Oh, you worry too much!" she smiled, "Don't
worry, Quatre, we'll blend in juuuust fine!"
*******************************************************************
They were walking down the street hand in hand window-shopping.
"Hey, look!" a bystander cried, "It's Quatre Rabera Winner and what looks like a date!"
"Uh-oh!" Quatre groaned.
"Quatre Rabera Winner? No way!" a huge crowd of people-the press included--ran to Quatre and Mina and started asking them a bunch of questions and taking photos of them.
"Hey, you're blinding me!" Quatre hissed, covering his eyes with his hand.
"When I said I wanted to be an idol," Mina mumbled, "this is something I could do without! Hey, you almost poked my eye out with that microphone!"
"Where did you meet?"
"Are you madly in love?"
"What's your name?"
"Can you smile for us and look happy? How about a kiss?"
Mina and Quatre sighed, exchanging glances. There was no way to wriggle out of the crowd so they might as well play along. It was only a matter of time until the public found out that Quatre liked someone.
"Hey," he said, wrapping an arm around Mina, "could you get a close up of this?"
"Certainly, Mr. Winner!" a photographer said.
Quatre kissed Mina on the cheek and all the cameras started flashing. Mina blushed.
"So tell us, what is it like to date someone like Quatre Rabera Winner?" someone questioned Mina.
Mina smiled, "It's like a dream come true!"
Everyone opened his or her mouths to say, "aaawwwww."
Quatre answered a few more questions, "Quatre Winner, we understand you were in a duel with Dorothy Catalonia? Care to share about that?"
"Who?" Mina mumbled.
"I'm sorry, but my new lady friend and I are starving!" he smiled, "Please, no more questions!" he led Mina out of the crowd and went into a restaurant.
When they got inside, all the other customers stopped eating and talking to watch Quatre and Mina walk to their table and order.
"Um, hello," Quatre said.
People gasped and whispered around. "I can't believe he said hello!"
"I told you all the important people eat here!"
"Um, waiter?" Quatre asked.
"Yes, Mr. Winner?"
"Do you have a banquet room or something?" he asked. "Someplace that is out of the open?"
"Why, yes, Mr. Winner, right this way."
They followed the waiter to a separate room and took their orders. He set up a nice table and lit the candle.
"I'll have Caesar salad," Quatre said.
"And for the lady?"
"A chicken sandwich," Mina said.
"I'll be right back," the waiter said and closed the door. Some people were caught peaking through the small round window at the top.
"Who's Dorothy?" Mina questioned.
"What?"
"Did you like her?"
Quatre sighed, "I guess I might as well tell you. She's Treize's cousin."
"Yeah, but what does she have to do with you?"
"She developed the mobile dolls."
"Mobile what?"
"They're kind of like mobile suits," Quatre said and noticed a hint of jealousy in Mina's face. "We didn't date or anything."
"But did you like her? And tell me about that duel."
"She was mad at me. So we had a duel on the battleship Libra."
"What kind of a duel?"
"Fencing."
"Fencing!"
"Yeah. She had a duel with Heero one time too."
"Who won?"
"Heero did."
"Did you win the duel with her?" she questioned.
"Well," he paused, "It was more like a tie. Anyway, I didn't know her all that well. She spent more time with Relena Peacecraft. I think she was trying to be like her best friend or something." Quatre smiled, "you're jealous of Dorothy, aren't you?"
"What makes you say that?"
"Because you're wrinkling your napkin," he stated.
"Oh," Mina blushed. "I just didn't know."
"Don't worry. I don't even know where Dorothy is."
"I don't understand why she didn't come to help Relena," Mina said, "if she was her friend, she should've been there for her." (Yeah, where was Dorothy in Endless Waltz? I saw pictures of her and I know she's supposed to be Endless Waltz but I didn't see her!)
"You know what?" Quatre demanded.
"What?"
"I don't want to talk about this," he said, "There was nothing special between Dorothy and me. Let's talk about you."
"Well, okay," she smiled, "I wasn't supposed to tell anyone this but I used to be a superstar."
"Superstar?"
"Yeah, Sailor V. I had my own video game and my own comics," Mina admitted. "I lived in England. Then I met the other scouts."
"You were a sailor scout even before Serena?"
"And I was the last one to join the group," she said, "because everyone and England thought I died." She shrugged, "it's kind of painful to talk about."
"I understand. But at least you've met the other scouts."
"But we're not sailor scouts anymore," she said. "We're gundam pilots, like you and the others."
"Well, I'm glad you could join us," Quatre said.
"Me too."
The waiter came with their food. "Here you go. I hope everything here will be to your satisfaction." He left.
Quatre smiled and looked at Mina, "Yeah, I can say I'm pretty satisfied right now…"
