Welcome to Chapter 5 of my ficcie. This chapter is mostly humorous, 'cause Wufei is forced to bring Meiling to the Preventer's headquarters. Boy, who'd have ever thought a girl could cause so much trouble?

Card Captor Sakura and Gundam Wing aren't my shows. Characters might be OOC.

Friends From The Past

Chapter Five

----

Wufei groaned and rolled over to face his small red alarm clock. He turned it off... and went back to sleep.

----

Meiling's eyes popped open. She got up and yawned.

Walking over to a dresser, Meiling picked up a brush and started brushing her long, silky black hair. After doing so, Meiling put her hair into its usual hairstyle.

Quatre, being his good-hearted self, had let Meiling use one of his sister's old pajamas. The enormous yellow nightgown hung loosely on Meiling's tiny frame.

Meiling walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth and do her business. She came out five minutes later.

----

Wufei rolled to his left, and instead of staying on his bed, he landed on the hard floor, wrapped in his blanket. He awoke immediately after the impact.

"Kisama!" cursed Wufei as he rubbed his head. He then looked at his clock. 6:15. Wufei always woke up at 6:00.

"Shit! I'm late!" cried Wufei and he scrambled to get ready.

----

Meiling was calmly eating breakfast when Wufei ran into the kitchen, soaking wet and wearing a towel around his waist. His hair wasn't in its normal ponytail.

Meiling turned crimson red and almost choked on her dim sum (AN: Dim sum is like dumplings, but they're shaped like volcanoes. They are usually eaten for breakfast).

Meiling took a deep breath and said, "Nihao, Wufei-kun."

Wufei turned around and gasped. "What are you doing awake at this time?! Weak women should be in their fifth dream about now!"

"Weak men should learn to dress properly around women," retorted Meiling.

Wufei looked down and blushed when he saw the towel. He sprinted out of the kitchen, but not before stealing a dim sum off Meiling's plate.

"Hey, that was mine!" hissed Meiling.

"Xiè xiè!" replied Wufei as he started eating it. (AN: "Thank you".)

----

Wufei was dressed and ready to go. As he walked outside, he suddenly remembered Meiling. Damn! What was he going to do with her?! He could either (a) leave her home alone, or (b) take her to work. He thought about it, and decided that (b) was best. So Wufei walked back inside, grabbed Meiling, walked back outside, forced Meiling into the back motorcycle seat, threw his extra helmet on her, put his helmet on, sat down, and started the motorcycle, drowning out the soft growls coming from Meiling.

"Hang on," commanded Wufei. Meiling slid her tiny arms around Wufei's stomach.

Wufei then started moving the motorcycle, and they were off... to the Preventer headquarters.

----

Wufei had heard some sputtering in the engine, so he decided to check his bike out when he got to work.

Wufei parked his bike, and he and Meiling got off. Meiling took her helmet off and said, "Why didn't you leave me at home?"

Wufei took his helmet off and replied by saying, "Because there are some things that are in the house that you shouldn't find or see."

"Things? What things? You mean like Playboy magazines or videos?" inquired Meiling.

Wufei was facing the opposite direction, so Meiling didn't see him blush. "I mean top secret files," explained Wufei. Meiling sighed and gave up.

----

Wufei entered the men's room and found Quatre and Duo laughing over the sink.

"Good morning Wufei," greeted Quatre and Duo.

Wufei just looked at them angrily and said, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You locked your door. We knocked, but you didn't answer," explained Quatre.

Wufei didn't say anything; his door had been locked.

"Speaking of locks, where is Meiling?" asked Duo.

"She's here," answered Wufei.

"You brought her here?" cried Duo.

"You want me to leave her home alone, so she could find assasination files, gundam blueprints, and porn tapes?!" screeched Wufei.

"Ok, Ok, you're right, I'm wrong," said Duo.

Wufei, Quatre, and Duo left the bathroom to find a very angry Meiling.

"Wufei, how could you leave me out there alone?! I don't know this place!" cried Meiling.

"Then I'll show you around!" replied Wufei. He grabbed Meiling's hand and dragged her to the lobby, leaving Quatre and Duo speechless.

----

"Nihao. Wo xing Li Meiling," said Meiling, bowing down gracefully. She was introducing herself to Wufei's boss, Sally Po. Sally bowed also.

Meiling took this opportunity to strike up a conversation.

"Duo told me that Preventer people have codenames! He told me that yours is Water!"

"Duo told you that?" asked Sally. Meiling nodded. "Well, that is true. My codename is Water..."

"I want a codename too!" begged Meiling.

Wufei began to get embarrassed.

Sally chuckled. "What would you like your codename to be?" asked Sally.

Meiling looked down, thinking of a name. A minute later, she looked at Sally and, beaming happily, cried "Lotus!"

Sally smiled. "Welcome to the force, Preventer Lotus."

----

For lunch break, Duo ordered three small pizzas and shared it with Heero, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Sally, and Meiling.

"I want another slice," announced Meiling as she began reaching for a third slice. Wufei pushed her hand away.

"You've eaten enough, onnako! Have some liquid!" said Wufei.

Meiling angrily downed a cup of soda. Then she looked at Wufei. "Chi bao le," said Meiling. (AN: That means "I'm full" in Chinese.)

"Thanks for the food, Duo!" said Meiling as she walked back to Wufei's desk.

----

Wufei decided to stay a few minutes after work so he could check on his bike. So he grabbed some tools and got to work.

Meiling casually walked into the garage and picked up Wufei's power drill. She started to mess around with it.

Wufei discovered that he needed some oil in the oil tank, so he walked back inside to get some oil.

Meiling, meanwhile, was pressing the drill's power button, and was amazed by how it moved. But little by little, the power drill was getting too close to Meiling, and it got tangled up in Meiling's shirt. As Meiling struggled to get her shirt free, she kept on pressing the power button by accident, making the situation worse and ruining her shirt more.

Duo happened to walk in at this moment, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw her. "Come in here, you guys! She drilling her boobs!" screamed Duo.

Wufei and Quatre ran in to "save" Meiling, but ended up laughing at her instead. Meiling, of course, didn't find it funny at all, and she almost cried when Sally came and cut her shirt off! (Thank God she wore a training bra!)

----

Wufei let Meiling borrow his Chinese robe until they got home. Meiling felt miserable as she climbed onto the motorcycle and wrapped her arms around Wufei's stomach a second time.

15 minutes later, they arrived at the Winner mansion, tired, miserable, and hungry. Meiling took a shower and crawled into bed. Wufei did the same thing.

Later on that night, Wufei walked to the refrigerator, hoping to cop a small bowl of leftover ramen from yesterday. But when he looked in the fridge, it wasn't there!

"Kuso!" grumbled Wufei.

As he walked back to his room, he heard munching sounds coming from Meiling's room. The door was half open, so Wufei peeked inside and saw Meiling eating his ramen! Wufei would have taken it from her, but she looked so content while eating it...

Wufei grinned slightly and slowly closed the door to her room. He tiptoed to his room and jumped into his bed. As he started to sleep, he thought, I'm starting to get weak because of that girl... and I don't like it, not one bit.
