ALONG FOR THE RIDE
chapter 2
"Those are the guys from the pizzeria!" Alex whispered excitedly to her companion, who was now staring into the face of a handsome young man with bright green eyes and long, brown bangs covering one side of his face. 'Wow.' she thought to herself. 'too bad I can tell that he's taken.'
Jessie took a good look at each of her new teammates, and quickly assessed their ethnic origin, age, and a general idea of how they fight. She glanced over at Alex, who was standing next to her, and knew that she was also trying to get any information she could on just the boys' looks alone.
"Hi! My name is Alexandra, and this is my friend and roommate, Jessica. But you may call us Alex and Jessie." she said.
"Starting from the left: Trowa Barton, Duo Maxwell, Wufei Chang, Quatre Rebarba Winner, and I am Heero Yuy. May we talk inside?" Heero said.
"Uh, sure. We can speak alone in our dorm room." Alex said, as Heero opened the door and let Jessie lead the way.
The group headed to the fifth floor, where they walked through three long hallways lined with doors and dimly lit. They finally stopped at room 111, and Alex put the key card in, unlocking it.
"Our room is to the right of yours," Duo noted," and Trowa and Quatre's is to the left. Wufei is right across from you."
"Good. We can get a hold of each other easily then." Jessie replied, plopping down into a chair. Wufei, Heero, and Duo got a couch, while Trowa and Quatre sat down on the loveseat. Alex pulled up a beanbag.
"Okay, my serial number is 100456, and I work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I am agent Harnes." Alex said, and she pulled out her badge and let Heero examine it.
" I am agent Chin, and my code number is 100472. Here is my ID." Jessie handed her badge to Trowa.
"This is relevant." Heero said, giving back the ID.
"Hn." Trowa did the same.
Duo wanted to have some fun, and the best way he knew how to do this was a prank.
"Do you have any drinks?" he asked Alex.
"Oh, yeah. Anybody else want anything since I want to get a coke myself?" she asked.
"I'll go with you." Jessie replied, standing up and following her friend out to the kitchenette down the hall.
As soon as they left, Duo stood up and ran to the entertainment system and placed something very small into the fake flower arrangement on top of the T.V.
"What did you do?" Wufei asked Duo, giving him a suspicious glare.
"Oh, nothing." Duo replied, giving his companion a wink.
"Duo...you are going to give them a bad impression of us all!" Quatre hissed, getting up to see what Duo had done to the two girl's poor silk flowers. But he was interrupted when Trowa coughed, he quickly sat down just as Alex bounded into the room with a tray full of drinks.
"Alrighty, here are the drinks: we got coke, sprite, mountain dew....what?!" Alex said, seeing Duo grinning at her.
" Oh, may I use your bathroom, please?" he said, putting on his best innocent face.
"Sure. It's in the bedroom." Jessie said, wondering what this funny guy with the long hair was up to.
"Thanks." he replied.
While he walked through their bedroom, he planted another one of his devices in the framed picture on the wall just left of the bathroom door.
"Perfect." he muttered, grinning to himself.

the next day: first official day of school:
Jessie waited tapping her foot while Alex rushed around the room trying to put her shoes on while holding a piece of toast in her mouth.
"Will you please hurry up?!" Jessie muttered, watching her roomate trip and fall flat on her butt.
"Ow! I'm done, let's go!" Alex said, as she picked herself up and smoothed out her school uniform. "Did you check the boys' schedule?"
"Yes, Alex, for the last time! They have all of our classes!" Jessie snapped, glancing at her watch as she threw her backpack over her shoulders. Jessie let Alex rush out before her, still holding her toast as she locked the door.
"I wonder if Heero has this much trouble getting Duo up..." Jessie murmured to herself as she and her companion started headed down the hall to the stairway.
~*~*~*~*~*~
in Duo and Heero's dorm room:
"Duo! We'll be late if you don't get your lazy ass out of bed!" Heero growled, balancing the bucket of cold water over his head.
"mph, Heero. I need my beauty...ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!" Duo shrieked, as Heero dumped the bucket onto him.
~*~*~*~*~*~
the dorm hallway:
Jessie and Alex stopped dead in their tracks as a loud piercing scream echoed through the hallway.
"What the hell was that?!" Jessie said, scanning the hall.
"It came from behind us....actually, from Duo and Heero's room!"Alex answered, doing an about-face and running towards room 112, with Jessie right behind.
"Heero, Duo, what's wrong?" Alex said as she banged on the door.
"Open up! Who screamed?!" Jessie said as she tried to bust the door down.
~*~*~*~*~*~
in the dorm room:
"Shit, Duo, now everyone in the whole school is going to come break down the door!" Heero growled as he heard Alex and Jessie finally pull out the screws in the hinges and enter the living room.
"What the hell are you two doing?!!" Jessie yelled, noting Duo's wet half-naked body in bed, with a fully dressed Heero standing over him with a scowl on his face.
"Put the guns away, no one is being attacked." Heero said flatly.
"Except me!" Duo shot back, wringing out his long dripping hair.
Jessie and Alex, who had their guns held up and safety's off, shoved them back into their holsters under their long skirts{a/n: think Ms. Congeniality}
"He wouldn't get up." Heero answered calmly,"so I took drastic measures."
"I remember when my mom used to do that to me..." Alex flashbacked, staring at the ceiling."It was not the most pleasant of experiences, I might add."
"God damnit, Heero, can you at least get me a towel or something?!" Duo yelled, shivering from the cold ice water that had soaked through the sheets.
"You guys are funny, but we only have 15 minutes to get to the school, which is a mile away from here." Jessie said, picking her backpack up and pulling Alex to the door. "Meet ya in home room."
The two girls ran downstairs, and unlocked the gate to the bike garage. Their prized possessions, their two Harley Davidson's, sat in a corner, gleaming in the light.
"Oh, shit! Did you refill the gas tanks, 'cause I sure didn't!" Alex swore, checking her fuel gage.
"I didn't, either." Jessie said, slightly amused at how much bad luck they had run into in just the first hour of the first day of school.
Duo and Heero came into the garage and saw that the girls were standing forlornly around two very expensive looking motorcycles.
"Need rides?" Heero said, noticing Alex's fuel gage at empty.
"Are you psychic or something?" Alex asked, already heading over to him.
"Hn."
The two pilots walked over to two other motorcycles, except these were Suzuki's.
"Hop on, Alex." Duo said, patting the seat behind his. Jessie got on behind Heero, and they sped off to the campus.
