"Are you sure this is the right way, Duo?" the usually silent
Heero inquired.
***
It's been 2 years since the Eve Wars and Mariemaria's takeover
incident, and everything was just peaceful. As expected, the 5 gundam
pilots- Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Winner, and
Chang Wufei had gone their separate ways back to their normal lives.
Trowa had gone back to the circus, Duo had gone back to live with
Hilde, Quatre went to his usual leisure life in Arabia, and Wufei
had ended up permanently working for the Preventers.
And what about the perfect soldier? Well, he stayed in the
colonies, still intact with the media and reports, making sure that
peace was not a temporary element in life. And Relena... our busy
vice foreign minister? Actually, no one really knows these days...
It's now the year A.C 199. We're reaching the end of the
century, and the gundam pilots decided to have a little get together
to catch up on each other's lives. They're now heading to a restaurant
that Duo says to be VERY good. Yeah right....
***
"Of course I'm sure!!! I think...." Duo insisted. All the
streets had seemed familiar a while ago, but now... everything was just
a big blur for the blue-eyed American. "Wait a minute... wait... that's
it!!!! YEAH!!!"
The pilots reached a little Japanese restaurant at the edge of
town. The sign read "Dragon's Fate". Sighing and rolling their eyes,
the remaining 4 pilots followed their ecstatic comrade into the
restaurant. After all, they wouldn't be paying... this was Duo's idea,
therefore Duo's treat. He he he....
Once they reached the detailed interior, they found their
frantic friend looking around in the crowd, obviously looking for
someone.
"Hey Duo, shouldn't we get a table? I'm kind of hungry..."
Quatre commented.
"Nope... Sorry guys, but I HAVE to find this person!!!"
"Duo.........."
"Sorry Heero, not even if you threaten me with that damn death
glare of yours, I'm not gonna let you guys eat yet, even if I have to
put up with that glare of yours..."
"Omae o korosu*...."
For another 15 minutes, Duo was continuously looking in the
crowd for a special certain "someone" that he just HAD to look for.
By this time, the 4 sitting, starving pilots had just about had it.
And guess who's first to speak up...
"Hey weakling... who're you looking for? I'm starving!!" Wufei
complained. They had already spent an hour looking for the so-called
"extremely good" *quote unquote* restaurant and now Duo was making them
starve just to look for someone?!?!?! This wasn't justice....
"Oh just shut up already, baka*!! She's a waitress that works
here..." Duo replied.
"How can you tell who's who in this place anyway? All the
waitresses are wearing geisha makeup*." And so it was, all the
waiters and waitresses wore kimonos*, and the waitresses especially
had geisha makeup painted on their faces.
"She?" Quatre inquired. "Does that mean....?" At that instant,
the 4 pilots' ears perked up and their inattentive eyes filled with
interest. Suddenly, Duo immediately stumbled into a girl who was
carrying a tray with 4 dishes.
*CRASH*
Everyone and everything immediately turned silent. All eyes
turned towards the young waitress who was silently and swiftly picking
up the broken dishes. Blood dripped from her hand, but she obviously
didn't care. The customers looked in awe and shock, some in admiration.
Her face didn't turn the least bit crimson even with at least 100 pairs
of eyes on her face and the intense moment looming over her shoulder.
Then, the red-faced manager stepped out of his booth and turned
towards the serene looking girl wiping blood off her hand.
"Shinsei?!?!! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!??!"
"Some dished slipped from my tray, sir."
"This'll come outta your pay. Get this mess cleaned up
immediately!!!! I don't wanna see a speck of your mess when I come
back, is that understood?!"
"Yes sir."
"And the rest of you, get on with your eating!!!" The silence
instantly ceased and the restaurant became a bustling ruckus again.
The girl simply shook her head and starting mopping up the floor. The
pilots already recovered from their shock and turned towards their
clumsy American friend, who was still flabbergasted.
"Ya know Duo, you should really thank me. After all, I'm not
going to make you pay for these dishes." The pilots turned around to
the waitress who was bandaging her hand. "Am I right?"
"Shinsei...."
"You know I was just kidding, right? Don't worry about it...
Hold on, my break's in a few minutes. I'll join you then, alright?"
"Uhhhhh...... su-sure.." The waitress just simply smiled,
despite all that had just happened. Turning on her right heel, she
headed towards the kitchen and disappeared into the commotion.
"Let me guess, THAT'S the girl, isn't she? I wonder what gave
it away? The fact that she didn't blame her so-called "accident" on
you, or the fact that she knew your name?!?!" Wufei exclaimed.
"Oh shut up, I already feel bad about it."
"So... are you REALLY, ya know, cheating on Hilde?" Quatre
suddenly questioned.
"What the..? HELL NO!!!!! She's just an old friend!! She's 5
@#$%in years older than I am damn it!!"
"Duo?" All 5 pilots turned around to a girl in modern clothing,
the geisha makeup wiped off from her somewhat confused yet, smiling
face, just standing there, with the deepest blue eyes anyone had ever
seen. But could you really call it blue? Maybe it was just them, but
did those actually glow a mako* green?

Notes: All the asterisks (*) that I had placed by some words are ones
that some people might not know (excluding the actions) So here are
the definitions:
*Omae o korosu- Heero's trademark line in the show. It can be roughly
translated to "I will kill you." (internet source)
*baka- Japanese for idiot, stupid, etc. It's sometimes not taken that
lightly of a word, if you know what I mean.
*geisha makeup- the face is painted (or powdered I dunno...) white and
the rest of the features on the face are emphasized with eye shadow,
eyeliner, etc.
*kimonos- Japanese traditional dress from the early ages of history.
*mako- "the manufactured planet's spirit" in Final Fantasy 7 (a video game). The color is kinda like aqua, just more green.
*Tsuzuku- Japanese for "to be continued"
Author's notes: I know this seems like a Duo story so far, but it
really isn't (no offense Duo-lovers!!! I'm one too ya know, it's just
that this was meant for the Heero and Relena peeps). It'll shift to
Heero and Relena later on. So how'd ya'll like it? Good? Bad? Please
e-mail me your comments, questions, or whatever!!! Please don't flame
me, if there actually is a reason to. If you want to complain, do it
in an orderly manner, k? Thnx!!
