Liz, with the help of the kitchen servants, had found a tray and had gathered an assortment of Chinese foods on it. Carefully, she walked toward the staircase, but found herself somewhere else completely. She noticed a stair well, but it went down instead of up. Liz was about to pass that particular pathway, until she heard the faint strains of someone yelling loudly. Slowly, she descended the stairwell, trying to not spill anything or trip. Luckily, she made it to the bottom with out accident, but when she reached the door, she found her hands were full, and she had no way of opening it. Placing the tray on the ground next to the entrance, she timidly knocked on the door. When there was no answer, she opened it slightly, and peeked inside. It was like a huge garage. And there were five huge machines towering in hanger. She looked on in awe for a minute, until she noticed Wufei down the way. He was pacing back and forth in front of a huge, scary, green machine. Liz quietly opened the door enough to allow her passage with the tray. Once inside, she balanced herself and kicked the door shut. Walking loudly enough for him to notice and not freak out on her if he thought she was sneaking up on him. She didn't want that happening again.

"Wufei?" Liz called out in warning.

"WHAT?!" Wufei whirled around. He stared at her accusingly, "What do you want?" he growled.

She smiled shyly and lifted the tray for him to see. "I brought your lunch."

He just blinked at her. (Remember people, blinking is a sign of SURPRISE)

Her smile faltered a little, but she tacked firmly back in place, gathering her courage.

"You didn't eat much, and I thought you might be hungry." she said warmly.

Wufei gave no reply, he just continued to stare at her, but now without the anger seething within his eyes.

"You're Chinese, right?" she spoke softly, "I thought you might like these pork noodles and rice." Carefully, she bent to put the tray on the ground between them. But with her luck and coordination, she almost tipped the tray over onto the ground. Wufei had to reach out to help her keep the food from falling. Gently he set it on the ground, and sat down next to the tray.

She smiled sadly at him. "Wufei, I'm really sorry about earlier. I'm such a klutz sometimes. And I know Duo is really sorry about what happened at lunch. He really didn't mean it. I'm sorry Wufei." He looked into her sincere eyes, and blushed.

"Ah, its ok." His voice sounded small and a little lost. He didn't notice though. He was still looking into those glowing brown eyes.

"So you forgive me?" the words came out slow and hesitantly.

He nodded at her. She beamed at him.

"Thanks Wufei. Eat up." She turned to leave, looking for the door.

As she was leaving, Wufei heard her call out, "Warrior is a good word for you!"

He smiled at himself, and began eating his lunch.



Liz waltzed back into the dining room, looking incredibly happy. Everyone just stared at her. She blinked at them.

"You guys are still eating?"

"You've only been gone two minutes, stupid." Ariana retorted over a mouthful of cherries. Liz walked back over to her seat. As she walked around, Duo asked her curiously, "Where did you go?" he too had a mouthful of food.

"My secret." Liz replied grinning.

"Hmph." Ariana be-da'd her. Liz just be-da'd back, and began peeling a banana.

"I thought you were done." snorted Heero. He received several glares, though Liz just shrugged, thoroughly enjoying herself. She starting eating her banana, bouncing to an invisible beat. Trowa watched her in amusement. As did everyone else. And, obviously, she utterly oblivious. When she did notice everyone's stares, she just smiled, and continued eating. Ariana was befuddled. She had no clue who this person was, and what had happened to her friend.

"So is everyone ready for desert?" Quatre questioned laughingly, still watching Liz.

All agreed, though Duo was the most enthusiastic.

"I'll get the pie!" Liz proclaimed, jumping up from her seat. Once again, Liz took a tumble, this time backwards taking the chair with her. A small "ouch" sounded from the floor where Liz had fallen. Everyone began laughing (except those who don't laugh, they just tried not to). The poor girl's hands could be seen searching the edge of the table to bring herself up. Both Ken and Trowa took a hand and pulled her up. She blushed and smiled timidly, at everyone's amused faces.

"Um, I'm not really all that hungry for pie." Everyone laughed again.

Quatre chuckled, "Maybe Ariana and I should go get our pie."

So both of them left, heading toward the kitchen for their pastry.

Heero grunted, "Liz, can I talk to you?"

"Uh, sure. I guess." Liz didn't seem to happy about the idea of being alone with him, but consented anyway because she saw no point in being rude.
