Chapter 3

Duo, Heero and Trowa were sitting at their usual lunch table, discussing the location of the new Whitefang base and methods of surveillance and attack they could use to see if that was truly where Relena was. Quatre walked up and stuck his head over Duo's shoulder, causing the braided one to jump. The blonde smiled and whispered to Duo, "Look slowly to the table three to the left and up one." then sat down on the other side of him.

Duo nonchalantly stretched and looked over. Sitting at the afor mentioned table were Reena, Ami and Lys, all of them were looking their way. Duo caught Reena's eye and winked, she blushed and turned around, as did the other girls when the rest of the guys, minus Heero, waved. The boys laughed, all but Heero. The conversation turned to the girls and who each of them had their eyes on. Reena was Duo's, the guys laughed at this. Trowa liked Ami, which wasn't surprising, and Lys obviously liked Quatre. Quatre wasn't sure about his feelings for her right yet, though he did admit she was quite cute.

The girls were at a their regular lunch table, Reena had joined them, and they were starring, as usual, at their respective guys.

"Hey, Reena. I hope you're not after Trowa." Ami warned when she caught Reena looking at the boys table as well.

"Take a pill Ami, Reena's eyes are all for Duo...right Reena?" Lys poked her and Reena jumped.

"Hmm? Ya, Duo." she mumbled, looking around surprised. She then turned back to watching the boys.

"Geeze, you two are pathetic! They're just guys!" exasperated, Lys turned to talk to another girl.

"Hey Lys, Quatre just walked over." said Reena absently, Lys immediately joined them in their admiring. Reena and Ami spared enough time to give her a weird look.

"What?" she asked, noticing them.

Just then Duo stretched and caught Reena's eye, he winked. Reena blushed and turned away. Ami and Lys didn't notice until their respective guys raised their hands and waved. Both blushed crimson and turned back to their lunches.

"Hey guys, how 'bout you come over after school today," suggested Reena, changing the subject, "I have a pool so we could go swimming."

"Really?" asked Lys as she ate her last bit of chocolate pocky, "Where do you live?"

"Within walking distance." Reena answered, "Six Swanmay Terrace."

"Honto!?" Lys almost choked on her pocky before she continued. "I live in number two and Ami lives across the street from me! Number six? Isn't that that big mansion? You live there?" asked Lys, a bit loudly.

"Hai, it's great that you two live so close. You could just grab your stuff on the way over." Reena answered and gathered her things. "Ami? Are you gonna come?" Reena asked, the girl had been keeping quiet.

"Hai, I'll come. I was just thinking...why don't you invite the guys over too?" she suggested, nodding toward the guys table.

"Wai! Ami, that's a great idea! C'mon Ree, you should invite them too! Just think," Lys got a mischievous look in her eyes as she was trying to convince Reena. "Duo, in swim trunks...all wet..."

"Fine, fine! You convinced me!" she sighed and got up from their table. She looked back to see Lys urging her on and Ami smiling encouragingly. Blushing slightly, she began walking over to the boys table.

* * *

"Oi, mutt," Trowa nudged Duo and nodded down the cafeteria hall, " here comes the Porshe." Duo looked up to see Reena nervously walking toward the table amidst whistles and catcalls from many other students on the boys side.

"Hey doll face, what's up?" Duo asked and leaned back a bit on his chair, trying to look cool. He almost fell but quickly righted himself, he was sure she hadn't noticed. Quatre stifled a laugh and Duo shot him a good imitation of Heeros' death glare.

"Hi braid boy." she smiled at him sweetly. He blushed. "I was wondering if you guys wanted to come over to my house after school. I have a pool so you could all cool off." she suggested.

"Well," said Duo a little too quickly, "I'm in. Guys?" he looked around questioningly. "Ami and Lys are coming too." Reena added, seeing the guys were a bit confused. Mou, do they think I'm that friendly?! I only like Duo...

Understanding dawned on the boys and they quickly nodded. Duo looked at Heero questioningly.

"I have better things to do with my time then frolicking in a pool," Heero said coldly, "especially in her pool." He gave Reena a dirty look. Heero knew he was acting childish but he really didn't care. Duo was his before, and even though it was a mutual break-up, he still felt jealous. You have Relena, remember? Get yourself together Yuy!

That was the last straw for Reena, "Ok Heero, I don't know what I ever did to you, but I can list a lot of things you've done to me, and I've only known you a day." She started, her sapphire eyes clouding over as she continued. "I'm trying my best to be nice to you and you're acting like a spoiled brat!" Heero kept his head down but did his best to glare at her. It was painfully clear to him how right she was thus far but he refused to admit it. Reena placed her hand on her hip and matched his death glare with one of her own as she continued. "Excuse me if I decide to try to be nice to you, even though you threatened me this morning. I felt I should give you another shot to smooth things over and prove you're not a total baka. I think you should learn when, and when not to, open your big mouth because your opinions are not always needed, or particularly wanted." she sighed exasperatedly and apologetically turned to the other guys, "See you later? I live on Swanmay Terrace, number six."

They all nodded, too shocked to say anything. Reena turned and began to walk across the now silent cafeteria. She paused a minute, as if thinking about something. She sighed again before calling over her shoulder. "The invite still stands for you Heero."

Heero looked up, his Prussian eyes big with shock. The others were just as speechless. Duo recovered first, "Heero," he said solemnly and shook his head, "you got told!" he looked up with a huge grin. Man, Duo thought, even I've never said anything like that to Heero. She has guts. I like her!

Heero looked at Duo, still shocked. Trowa and Quatre looked at each other, smiled, then said in unison, "Oh ya!"

All but Heero exploded into laughter, he was still too shocked. No one's ever stood up to me like that...maybe she's right for Duo...

"So," asked Trowa after they had calmed down, "Duo, now that the mutt's closing in on the car, does he have any idea yet of what he'll do if he catches it?"

Duo just looked at Trowa and gave him his trademark smirk.
