1 Chapter 13
I awoke to the feeling of being shaken and realized it was Hotaru. Miraculously my ankle was almost fully healed. This new technology thing is seriously kinda freaking me out. Anyway, I brushed my teeth and changed into a short white dress with long red sleeves that clung tightly to my arms. It felt rather uncomfortable so I changed out of it and into a sky blue halter-top and dark blue flares. I decided to take off my sun necklace because it didn't really go with what I was wearing. I put on my baby blue Adidas superstar shoes and a light jacket and Hotaru and I both left. Hotaru told me she had to go pick up her fencing sword from the fencing room and I nodded in agreement. I stood outside for a while and just looked around at the walking people and the surroundings. I heard the doors to the fencing room open and I thought it was Hotaru and I turned around. Instead, it was Trowa, Quatre, and the rest of them. I didn't bother saying "hi" because they looked like they were in a rather bad mood. I just eyed them as they passed. Soon after them Hotaru came running out of the fencing room with a concerned look on her face.
"What?" I asked.
"I was just in there when I heard the guys talking," she signed.
"About what?" I asked.
" Something about gundams and robots and some attack that happened that night at Relena's party." She signed. I thought for a minute and replied.
"Well yeah, I think I do remember something about robots or something. But what does that mean? I mean, why should we care?" I asked. We talked about it for a while.
"Riona, they're not from our world. They're from that t.v. show remember?" Hotaru pointed out and for a minute I had to agree with her.
"So what can we do? I mean, whatever they're doing is no business of ours but we deserve to know right? They have been hiding a lot of things from us." I added and Hotaru nodded in agreement.
"Hey I got an idea! We have to go get some type of evidence from them. I think their dorm room is somewhere near the west side of the campus." I said. "I'll worry about the distractions and you worry about getting the evidence or whatever you want to get from their room. Personally, I think the easiest room to sneak into is Duo's." Hotaru signed and I nodded.
"Alright then we'll go into Duo's room. We gotta find like a disc, c- d or something." I said and we headed for their dorms.
We luckily got there with ease and I used a paperclip to get into his room. Hotaru waited outside just incase any of them decided to show up. I unlocked the door, walked in and closed the door behind me.
"Geez!" I whispered at the sight of his room. It was a total pigsty. Clothes, books, and food were scattered throughout the room. And Hotaru said this would be the easiest room to look through, yeah, she's in for a rude awakening! I walked further into the room and began looking through desk drawers. Nothing but scattered pens, pencils, and paper balls. What does this guy do? He must get really bored or something! I said. I continued to search for a disc, c-d, or blueprints of some sort. After a long search I came across a c-d. Bingo! I smiled and continued looking for anything else. I was in the middle of looking when I heard voices outside the door.
"Hey Hotaru, what are you doing here?" I heard Duo say.
" She says she's just taking a walk." I heard Wufei translate. Okay so there are two of them.
"What about Riona, is she around?" I heard Trowa ask and then I pause as Hotaru probably signed.
"She's back at the dorm!" Wufei translated. Great, there's three of them!
"Hey, if you don't mind could you step aside, I need to get something from my room." Duo said and I jumped at the thought. I began searching a little more quickly. There were sounds of shuffling feet and I became more nervous.
"She says you're one of her good friends." Wufei translated in a startled voice.
"Hey! It's nice to know that I'm one of your good friends, thanks for the hug Hotaru but I still have to go get something from my room." I heard Duo exclaim and I couldn't help but giggle. Wufei translated another thing,
"No that's okay, I don't want to go out for coffee, I need to get into my room and get something!" I heard him say and I heard the lock being picked at and the door began to open. I quickly found a place to hide. I heard Duo walk in and walk over to the desk. Oh my god! I said inside because I left the desk drawer open.
"Hmm…that's funny…"I heard him say and close it. I held my breath the whole time he was in the room. He grabbed something I couldn't see and left. I let out a big breath. I got out of my hiding spot as soon as I was pretty sure the guys had already left. I took one look around the room to see if I could find anything else, but couldn't so I left.
" So what did you find? Did Duo see you when he came in?" Hotaru signed.
"No, I hid behind a shelf so he didn't see me. I managed to get a c- d. Come on, let's go back to our dorm and check it out!" I exclaimed and began walking back.
We reached the dorm and I turned on our laptop and was about to get up for a piece of candy when Hotaru pointed something out.
"Riona…where's your jacket?" she asked in sign language. I looked around the room. Where was my jacket? I asked myself.
"Oh my gosh! I left it in Duo's room! I was looking for the stuff and then it got hot so I took off my jacket! Darn it!" I exclaimed in anger.
"Lets just hope they don't find it!" Hotaru signed and I nodded in agreement. I turned back to the laptop and put in the c-d and I couldn't believe what I found.
"Hotaru come take a look at this!" I exclaimed and she ran over to me and I saw her jaw literally drop to the ground.
"What is this stuff?" I asked.
"I don't know, some sort of gundam or robot information!" Hotaru signed and pushed me aside and took over the searching. I didn't complain because she was better at this than I was.
"It's some sort of blueprint and top secret information. I can't believe Duo left something like this laying around in his dorm." Hotaru signed.
"Oh it wasn't laying around! It was buried in a whole bunch of papers and junk. I don't know what you were thinking when you said his room would be the easiest to search in." I said and Hotaru giggled. She continued to search and I went to go pick up some Chinese food. When I got back Hotaru was still searching. She looked fascinated by this stuff. I had no idea what it was all about but Hotaru told me she would explain it to me later. I watched over her shoulder for a while and I got bored so I did some of my homework. Hotaru finished searching but she got online to research and do all these things. It was getting pretty late so I brushed my teeth and changed into pajamas. I watched Hotaru a little bit more and then fell asleep.
* Trowa's point of view*
"What do you think Hotaru was doing around your dorm Duo?" I asked as we all took a seat in Duo's dorm.
"I don't know. She said she was going for a walk." He replied.
"I hope she doesn't know about the gundams!" Quatre exclaimed.
"Nah, I seriously doubt it!" Duo added. "I think…" and he stopped talking.
"What is it Maxwell?" Wufei asked.
"Uhh…does this belong to any of you?" Duo asked as he picked up a jacket from the floor.
"No, but I think I know who it does belong to." Heero said in his usual monotone voice.
" Riona…" I replied.
"So that's why Hotaru was around here. Riona was in my dorm!" Duo exclaimed. "I hope they didn't take anything, or find anything about…"Duo stopped.
"The gundams…" we all answered in unison. This wasn't good news.
"Oh well, tomorrow we'll go return this to her!" Duo smiled, holding Riona's jacket in his hand.
