Chapter 2
All they did was stare at her. Aqua's smile faltered a little as she turned around nervously to check if her skirt was torn or if there was anything stuck to her foot. Duo made the first move on reching out his hand to shake hers. As though they were conjured by magic, several body gaurds appeared infront of them sepparating Aqua from Duo.
"Eh-heh" Duo said as he backed away into the crowd. Aqua rolled her eyes and put her hand on one of the large men's shoulder.
"It's ok, Vinnie... I'll be fine with out you guys while im under these people's watching eyes" Aqua said with a nervous smile to the pilots.
"Ov Curse Mees Boowater's" He said, frowing at Duo. Aqua smiled more confidently.
"Off you go then" She said jesturing toward sthe limo. Rather unhappily, the body gaurds cleared off into the dark back seat and she waved the limo away. She stood turned around and waited until every last part of the limo was out of sight.
Finally, Aqua turned around and smiled again.
"Shall we?" She said as she looked up into the bright windows of the mansion.
"Um...I guess so..." Trowa said as he opened the door to the front foyer. They all stepped inside and showed Aqua around.
"This is your room" Luna said tonelessly as she opened the door. Inside the room was painted a deep blue and a small single bed was in the corner. A bathroom was off to the left behind a heavy oak door. A rosewood dresser and a matching armoire. Aqua looked around the room with a little bit of a surprised look. She turned around, unsurley.
"I'm sorry we were expecting-" Quatre started apologetically.
" A guy" Aqua finished for him with a grimace. "Thats how it is always." she added under her breath. "Well... I guess I'll have to redo it, not a problem." She ended with a light note.
"So um...I guess you all know me... Princess Aqua Bluewaters the second..." she said as she walked back down to the foyer to grab her bags. "But I don't know any of you...personally that is...."she added as she walked into the living room, dragging her bags behind her.
"Because before I left I bought you all presents!" She said to all of them with a grin as she sat on the couch and opened a large suitcase. They all took a seat as she started to pull out brightly wrapped packages.
"uhm...I know which one is Luna...but you might not like this so..." Aqua said as she surveyed Luna with an apologetic smile.
"...try me..." Luna said as she stepped forward. Aqua shrugged and handed her a large box. Luna tore it open and took the lid off the top of the box. Inside, was a mignight blue crushed velvet tank top. On it was silver embroidered astrological sign's.
"hmm...it's ok I guess..." Luna said picking it up gingerly and tuning it around. Trowa, who was sitting beside Aqua leaned over and whispered "Thats the highest praise you'll get from Luna...you should be happy..."
Aqua pressed her fingers against her lips trying not to laugh. She pulled out another box and read the label outloud..."ok 'To: Heero' now let's see who's Heero..." She pointed to Heero and handed him the present. He took it rather restentfully but when he opened it, Aqua was sure she saw a small smile flicker on his face. Heero pulled out a shiny silver handgun.
"Thanks..I guess..." Heero said as he stashed it away. After handing out the rest of the presents to Duo (A refilling Candy Jar), Trowa ( a small musical Carosel that palyed circus fanfare), Li ( A pair of ivory nunchuk's), Wufei ( A jade handled Kantana) and Quatre ( A silver pocketwatch with Latin inscriptions all over it).
Aqua yawned "Would you guys excuse me? I'm kinda tired" She said as she checked her watch.
"Sure...do you remember where you room is?" Li said as he put down his nunchuks.
"um yeah I think so" Aqua said getting up and stepping over the wrapping paper. " 'Night everyone" she said as she walked up the grand marble staircase. she reached her door and swung it open. Aqua stepped inside and locked the door. She opened her trunk and pulled out a stick and a few books. One of Aqua's secrets was that she was a fully qualified witch. After half an hour everything was changed, her once dark walls were now a lavender purple color. And her small bed was turned into a large Rosewood four-poster with purple and blue sheers for hangings. There were matching curtains over the large bay window. She had also changed the carpet color to a plush navy blue. Her clothes were hanging inside the armoire, walk in closet and dresser. Her laptop, Stereo and CD collection were stacked neatly on a rosewood desk and matching chair. Beside her desk, was two french door's that lead out onto a balcony with a Chaise Lounge, a few potted plants and a small glass table.
Aqua smiled as she unwraped the glass orb's, music boxes and jewlary cases and set them in the built-in shelves in the wall. She unwraped a large glass orb and held it in her hands. She peered into it and saw a tiny revolving Solar System. She placed that on the shelf also. She reached into the box and pulled out a small wooden box. She ran her fingers over the wave pattern on the top. Aqua opened it and saw a shining mother-of-pearl shell sitting in the box. She smiled and put it on the shelf right above her bed. fianlly she brushed her teeth and changed into her PJ's and got into bed.
The next day
Aqua woke up to the sunlight pouring through her bay window. She smiled into her pillows and threw back her covers. She jumped out of bed and made it. Aqua grabbed her bathrobe a couple of towels and her clothes for the day and stepped into the bathroom. As soon as she walked into the bathroom, she bumped into something wet and warm. She looked up and dropped all her things in shock. There stood Quatre, who had just stepped out of the shower. Aqua turned around abruptly and started to gibber away.
"I'm really sorry... I didn't know...we share a bathroom?...I'm really really sorry!"
"It's ok! I was covered...and I still am!" He added quickly.
"Then, I'll just go..." Aqua said, turning around to pick up her stuff.
"It's ok.. I'm done..." He said with a smile. Aqua looked up into his eyes and felt as though she was drawn to him. She shook her head.
"Thanks Quatre..." She said as he left through another door. Aqua's breathing steadyed as she turned on the taps and decided she needed a long, hot shower.
"I wonder where Aqua got to..." Duo said as he stuff more sugar coated cereal in his mouth. Luna leaned over and grabed the box from him and read the ingrediants out loud.
"Glucose-Fructose, Blue dye#4, Dehydrated Cardboard Bits... Duo is there any real food in this?"
"Dunno, but it tastes good! Want some?" he replied.
"I don't think so..." Luna replied with a disgusted look. Just then, Aqua walked in. One look, and Duo spat out his juice in surprise. Today, Aqua had uncurled her hair and let it fall to her waist. She was wearing a cropped pink baby tee that stopped just above her ribs, revealing her muscely flat stomch and pierced bellybutton. She was wearing a pair of tight boot cut jeans and alot of jewlary. Her glasses were gone and she was wearing make up. If you compared her to what she looked like yesterday you couldn't even tell it was the same person.
"Um... Morning" She said with a sheepish grin. Everyone was speechless except Luna and Li. Li had his tounge hanging out the side of his mouth and luna grunted "Nice jeans"
"Um thanks I guess..." she replied with a small smile. " I know I look different from yesterday but I guess I'm ready to start training..."
"Great" Piped up Li. "I'll take you to your Gundam!" He said jumping up grabbing her hand and dragging her out of the kitchen. He pulled her up to the huge storage Garage and opened it with an electronic device.
"Aqua! Meet your Gundam...Violet Lightning!" He said, pointing his finger up.
All they did was stare at her. Aqua's smile faltered a little as she turned around nervously to check if her skirt was torn or if there was anything stuck to her foot.
