Chapter 15-Old Friends
Become New Friends
During their hour-long *girl talk*, In Quatre's
office, Heero and the others discussed how they were going to upgrade the
Gundams. Wufei suggested ,"How about we each work alone.". Quatre,
against this idea, said ,"If we work together, the Gundams can be upgraded
faster, but one at a time. What do you think, Heero?". "Let's do
something like that, but I'll be busy working on my new mobile suit. How about
each of you work on a limb and work your way in. After the Hellstorm is
finished, I'll assist you. This will speed it up by about 25%.". Everyone
agreed with Heero's proposed plan.
Back at
Serena's room, she asks everyone ,"Did you bring a bathing suit?"
They all said yes. "Good. The Winner Estate has a very nice pool."
Serena said enthusiastically.
"It
is almost 4PM, Heero. I think Serena and the girls should be done recapping the
last week's events." says Wufei.". I suggest that we give them a tour
of the Estate.", says Quatre. "That's a good idea, Quatre." says
Duo. "OK. It is settled." says Heero. "Duo, you go with Lita.
Trowa, you are with Amy. Wufei, I want you to go with Raye." Quatre, who
is blushing says ," I probably get to show Mina around.". "And
I'll get Serena acquainted." says Heero. "We'll meet back here at
4:30PM.".
With this
plan in mind, Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei shot off to Serena's room.
Heero knocks. "Who is it? Serena asks. "It's Heero and friends. May
we come in?" asks Heero. "Come on it, guys." she says. "We
thought it would be a good idea to get everyone acquainted with the Winner
Estate." says Quatre, nervously. "Okay." the girls say in unison
"What's the plan?". Heero answers ," We'll split into five
pairs, communicating by our wrist communicators." Mina whispers to Lita
,"I hope I get to go with Quatre. He's so cute.". Lita whispers back
,"I want to go with Duo.". Heero proceeds to explain the plan.
"Trowa, I would like you to go with Miss Amy, starting with the Library.
Quatre, please take Miss Mina, beginning with the Gymnasium. Duo, could you take Miss Lita to the
Kitchen? Wufei, please show Miss Raye around, starting with the Courtyard.
Last, I will be escorting Miss Serena, beginning with the Garage.".
Both the
girls and the boys are excited with their pairings. Even Wufei, who was
normally disgusted with females, was showing a little smirk, directed at Raye.
"We'll meet back at Quatre's office at 4:30PM. "Have fun, everyone. I
know that I will." said Duo.
Quatre
and Mina head for the Gymnasium, hand in hand. She liked volleyball. Quatre
liked her, since she was quite good at it and was very pretty. Mina was
thinking the whole time ,"I'd love to go out with him. He's very kind. And
cute, too.".
Trowa
brought Amy to the Library. She was amazed with the seemingly endless volumes
of books. "Wow. A compulsive
reader's paradise." she said. "Yes. Quatre has quite a selection of
books ranging from Technology to Mythology." Trowa returned.
Lita and
Duo quickly found the kitchen. Duo inadvertently blurted out ,"I can't
cook at all.". "Well, Duo. I love to cook. Maybe I could teach you a few
recipes." she shot back, smiling. "Lita, you're cool." Duo said.
Raye and
Wufei went out the Courtyard. They had a fencing match. To Wufei's surprise,
Raye was a very competent fencer. While admiring her, Raye knocked the sword
from Wufei's hand. "You are very good. I'm impressed." he said,
flashing a smile at her. "Well, Wufei, you're not too bad yourself."
she replied, smiling back.
Serena and Heero disappeared to the Garage. Serena was looking at him, when she almost fell down a flight of stairs. Heero knew a split second before she did and pushed her out of harm's way. He lay at the bottom of the stairs, dazed and confused from the fall. "Heero, are you all right?" she asked "Heero, you're hurt.". "It's not serious." he shot back, looking at the gash in his right shoulder. "But it's bleeding" she returned "We better get you some help." she said, concerned with his safety. She then helped him up onto her shoulder. Thanks Serena." he said, writhing in pain. They go to the bathroom, where Serena doctors Heero's bleeding shoulder. "It is nearly 4:30. We should get back to Quatre's office." he said.
