Chapter 4-Dinner Time
At about
7:30PM everyone gets back to the Winner mansion. Quatre announces, "It's
getting to be time for dinner. I suggest we have our guest choose.". Everyone
agrees, even Wufei. "Miss Serena, what would you like to have?" asks
Quatre. Serena suggests Fettuccini Alfredo. "An excellent choice."
says Trowa. Heero sits to the left of Serena, helping her like a true
gentleman. Duo is on Heero's other side. Opposite of Serena is Trowa, with
Wufei to his right. Quatre sits at the head of the table. At the opposite end
of the table is Lucresia Noin and Zechs Marquise As a beverage, Quatre suggests
Raspberry Lemonade since it is non-alcoholic. Everyone is extremely well
mannered, probably since Heero wants to make a good impression. There is a
conversation about the dedication of the new colony. Quatre announces,"
The new colony, temporarily called L6 is to be dedicated to the leader of the
former World Nation, Treize Khushrenada.". This brings back painful
memories to Wufei, who gets tears in his eyes. Showing concern, Serena asks,
"Is something wrong, Wufei?" Wufei tries to tell Serena about the
incident with Treize, but is overcome with emotion. Hastily, he says,
"Please excuse me." and nearly runs to the bathroom. Serena asks
Heero what is wrong with Wufei. Heero doesn't know, so he asks Trowa. Trowa,
making sure that Serena hears, explains, "Wufei has a painful memory of a
duel with Treize. It ended up with Treize's death. Wufei is still a bit
depressed about it. Please, for the sake of Wufei, refrain from bringing this
up again.". Complying with Trowa's request, Serena agrees. Wufei comes
back after washing his face. Trowa suggests talking about something else, since
Treize Khushrenada is Wufei's weak point.
Serena
says in response, "How about Video Games? Everyone agrees with her. Trowa
tells the story about the Plumber game with comments from Quatre. Serena tells
everyone about the Sailor V game. This discussion lasts until about 10:30PM,
when Heero says ,"It's getting late. We should be getting to bed now. But
before we go to bed, I'm going to check on the caped man called Tuxedo
Mask.".
