When the two walked out into the hallway, they met up with Ken and Aya, who
had just come out of the room they were sharing. Both had changed into more
comfortable clothing. Ariana had currently placed herself between the two
men, and not so subtly shoved Ken toward Liz. So, now it seemed as though
the four of them were walking in pairs. Ariana began talking to Aya,
attaching herself to his arm, not really caring if he was listening. As
they walked down the stairs, Ariana threw a wink at Liz, who did a double
take to catch it. Unfortunately, that took her concentration off the stairs
and where she was walking. So, again, Liz took a tumble down off the last
few steps, right on top of someone who had rounded the corner. Ken moved to
catch her, but she was already in a heap on the floor, entangled. Both
Ariana and Aya, blinked not quite certain how she ended up on the floor,
because they hadn't seen her fall. Liz was trying to pick herself up, when
an angry cry came from underneath her.
"KISAMA WOMAN! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO STAY ON YOUR FEET!?" Wufei screamed at her.
"Uh, I'm-" Liz was stuttering out an apology when Ariana's voice broke through.
"Jeez, Liz that's the WRONG ONE!" Ariana puffed. "Stick to the plan!"
That just caused confusion by everyone, except Liz, who had blushed furiously and ended falling back down on Wufei in her embarrassment.
Trowa gingerly picked Liz up off of Wufei, and was holding her in his arms, waiting for his fellow pilot to get off the floor. Quatre and Marron rushed down the stairs, after hearing Wufei's shout, and Duo and Heero emerged from the dining room. Ariana blinked at Liz and Trowa, not sure if she should be happy or not, seeing Trowa hold her across his chest. Then she smiled. 'The more the merrier,' she thought. She smiled even brighter when she noticed Ken did not look very happy. Her smile got even bigger, when Marron came to stand next to her.
"What happened, little one?" Marron leaned in next to Ariana, who unconsciously began to let go of Aya's arm. Aya didn't seem to like that very much.
Liz smiled at her friends unfolding situation. 'So maybe I'm not so clueless after all about guys.' Unfortunately, she failed to notice Wufei, until his bright red face popped up in front of hers. Stuttering an apology, only seemed to infuriate him even more.
"KISAMA WOMAN! CAN'T YOU EVEN TALK CORRECTLY!?" he screamed at her again.
Trowa let out a brisk, "Lay off, Wufei." before turning and carrying Liz into the dining room.
Quatre looked worried, "Is everything alright?"
"Does it look like it!?" Wufei snapped.
"Trowa's right, cool it Wufei." Duo replied. "I'm going after them, to get some lunch, care to join us?" he called out as he turned and followed Trowa and Liz out of the hallway.
Ken and Quatre walked off after them, Heero stayed to calm down Wufei.
"Wufei, don't worry about it, she didn't mean anything by it." Heero stated matter-o-factly.
"Hmph." was Wufei's only reply.
"You're one to talk, Heero." Ariana snarled. "You were the one who hit her."
Heero didn't seem to like that comment.
"She snuck up on me, it was just a reaction."
"Yea right." She retorted.
"Shut up, I'm hungry." Wufei barked, and briskly turned toward the dining room.
"You coming, Yuy?"
"Yea." Heero glared at Ariana once more, before trailing Wufei.
"You should learn to keep your mouth shut." Aya said accusingly.
"I-wait! That's-" Ariana released her hold on his arm angrily.
"It's nothing, little one." Marron interrupted, pulling her to look at him.
"You were just trying to defend your friend." He said, caressing her cheek.
Ariana blushed and nodded, staring into his deep blue eyes.
Aya just grunted, and stalked off toward the where everyone else had disappeared. He grabbed the late Yohji, and dragged him with him.
"Hey, Aya, man, where are we-" Yohji looked startled as he was pulled off by Aya.
"Shut up." Was the only response Yohji got.
Ariana watched Aya go, wondering how she had misinterpreted him.
Marron whispered into her ear, "Don't worry, little one. He's always like that. Always temperamental."
Ariana turned back toward him, and nodded slightly.
"Shall we be off then?" He asked gently.
All she could do was nod. He smiled as he led her down the remaining stairs, toward lunch.
"KISAMA WOMAN! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO STAY ON YOUR FEET!?" Wufei screamed at her.
"Uh, I'm-" Liz was stuttering out an apology when Ariana's voice broke through.
