To Be Thankful
Miroki moved around on the dressmaker's stool as Kara was putting pins in the dress.
"Kara, tell me again why I'm doing this?" Miroki asked for the third time that day.
"Huhmmp, hmmm huhmp!" Kara said with a mouth full of pins.
Miroki growled, "Take those damn pins out of your mouth Kara! You're starting to act like Tomoyo."
"Hmmm?"
The annoyed girl sighs, "You keep wanting to make me dresses, and I don't wear dresses!"
Kara takes the pins out of her mouth, "It's your costume Miroki, Halloween is at the end of the month and I need time to get ready."
"What's so special that you insist on making my dress?"
"It's a surprise…" Kara murmured as she puts in more pins.
"I really hate it when you say that, it sounds like you're up to something."
"…………"
"I still can't believe you set me up last month."
"I can't believe Quatre saw that picture you drew of him." Kara replied back before asking, "So my family will be coming over to your house for Thanksgiving?"
"Right, and my cousin Chris is coming too, I suppose Zack is coming is coming as well."
Of course he is, Zack is my cousin after all. Which reminds me I am going to take more measurements after this, and then I need you to come to my house tomorrow."
Miroki groans, "What for?"
"This Thanksgiving is formal, so I need to make something for this occasion too."
"Kara………"
After Miroki left, Kara went to her mother, "Mom?"
"Yes Kara?"
"I was wondering, if I could invite five people over for Thanksgiving."
"If it's all right with their parents."
Kara grins, "Good."
~At The School The Next Day~
Kara walked down the hall till she found the people she was looking for. The G-boys were just talking, most of them anyways when Kara came up to them.
"Hi Kara, what's up?" Duo asked grinning.
"I was wondering if all of you would like to come for Thanksgiving on Sunday."
Quatre frowned slightly, "Are you sure its all right with your parents?"
"Don't worry I asked, mom said it was okay." Kara grinned, "If you're coming here's the address…"
After Kara left, Miroki came on the scene.
"Hi guys, what's up?"
"Not much, just the usual, and don't forget we're coming over." Duo replied.
Miroki frowned, "For what?"
"For Thanksgiving remember? Kara asked us to come for Thanksgiving."
Miroki's first reaction would have been to find Kara and scream bloody murder at her, but right then and there she got this idea in her head.
"Trowa, can I talk to you privately?"
"Okay Miroki."
Both Miroki and Trowa walked off to the music room.
Miroki closed the door behind them, "Remember when that girl Louisa was after you, and I hid you from her? Afterwards you said that you owned me?"
Trowa eyed Miroki warily, "Yes…"
"Well, it's time to return that favor."
"Oh?"
She grinned, "Let's say I'd like to return a favor, to an unknowingly to Kara. I want you to………"
Later that day Kara noticed that Miroki was grinning more than usual.
"Hey Miroki, what's with the happy face?" Kara asked.
"Nothing, I'm just in a happy mood." Miroki said in a sing a song way.
"That's good, so seemed pleased with yourself."
"Oh, I'm really pleased with myself…" Miroki grinned, then continued, "So Kara what are you making for both me and you for Thanksgiving?"
Kara thought for a moment, "Well, for you, and since I know you don't like dresses. Maroon dress pants, purple shirt, and a blue vest. Also I'm hoping to embroider the vest with silver threads. I'm going to wear a sea blue dress, with a V shape neckline and have the top embroider."
Miroki raised a brow, "Where are you going to find the time to do that?"
Her friend looks at the ground, "Well I brought the stuff to school, and have been doing it in my spare time."
"Sometimes I don't believe it."
Kara changes the subject, "So how did you and Heero do on the project?"
"Got the highest grades in the class." Miroki said proudly.
"So that means that you and Heero maybe are now good friends?"
The other girl shook her head, "We may have respect for each other, but it'll be a cold day in hell before we will really stop being rivals."
"Rivals don't give each other death glares and threatened to delete each other's account." Kara sighs.
"Don't be too sure of that."
Kara just shakes her head.
~Sunday~
Both girls were in Miroki's room getting ready when there was a knock on the door. They turned to find their cousins Chris and Zack at the door.
"So, how are our two cousins?" Chris asked grinning.
"Just fine." Miroki smiled back, giving her cousin a hug.
Zack just smiled leaning against the door, "So, how much money did you rob your poor parents for those clothes?"
Kara mocked a frown, punching her cousin lightly on the shoulder, "Idiot, I made these myself."
"You're kidding, since when did my cousin, sew?" Zack laughed as Kara tried to whack him over the head.
"So I hear we have five extra guests coming over." Chris changed the subject.
Miroki pretended not to know what he was talking about.
Kara grinned, "Yep! Five boys from our school are coming over."
"First she sews, now she invites boys over. Okay, where is my cousin, and what have you done to her?" Zack asked trying to keep a straight face.
"Jerk, you would say that." Kara laughed.
"These two insult each other every chance they get, and they still laugh about it," Chris shook his head.
"Miroki! Kara! Your friends are here!" Miroki's mother yelled from downstairs.
Kara grinned, she ran downstairs with Zack and Chris following her. Miroki stayed a bit behind, knowing what would come next. Downstairs all of the G-boys were waiting. Wufei was wearing a white silk shirt and matching pants. Duo was wearing a white shirt, with a black bow tie, and black pants. Heero was wearing the same, but he had a black tie on. Quatre was wearing a lavender shirt and a vest. Trowa just wore a plain green shirt, and a tie. Though it wasn't seeing them all dressed up that shocked her, it was Trowa. See it seems that Trowa was carrying some roses with him. He walked up to Kara, giving her the roses. Thankfully her mother wasn't there to tease her. Kara was blushing too hard to notice that both Chris and Zack were looking suspiciously at the boys. Miroki came downstairs, and couldn't help but smile.
"Hi Miroki!" Duo waved.
"Hi, guys I'd like you to meet Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei. You guys I'd like you to meet my cousin Chris, and Kara's cousin Zack." Miroki introduced everyone.
Their cousins nodded, and the boys nodded back.
"Uh, I should put these in a vase." Kara said quickly, then leaving everyone at the door.
Later, everyone got settled in, the pilots were introduced to the rest of Kara and Miroki's families. An hour had pasted and everyone was talking, almost everyone. Kara was chatting with Duo, when she noticed that Trowa was standing alone. Miroki had amazedly gotten up the courage to strike up a conversation with Quatre. Wufei and one of Miroki's Aunts was talking to Wufei in Mandarin. Heero ended up talking to Kara's father about computers. Kara excused herself to talk to Trowa, Trowa looked up from his drink to see Kara there.
"Hi." Kara said.
"Hi."
Kara tried to think of something to say, "Uh, well, thank you for the flowers earlier."
"You're welcome."
She leaned against the fireplace, "I bet Miroki set you up to it, huh?"
"How did you guess?"
She giggled, "I set Miroki up last month."
"I was wondering about that, what did you do?"
Kara pretended to look innocent, "I kinda set her up on a date with Quatre."
Whether Trowa was shocked or not, Kara couldn't tell, "And me giving you flowers was a get back?"
"Well, I'm not a people person very often. Also to be quite frank, I've never gone on a date, much less been given flowers." Kara shrugged.
"Never been kissed?"
"Never, I rather be at home with a good book. Miroki is a lot more social, then I am." Kara turned to watch Miroki and Quatre talk.
Meanwhile Zack and Chris were having a little chat of their own.
"So what do you think of their friends?" Zack asked casually.
"Don't trust them. Something isn't right about them." Chris carefully watched Quatre and Miroki.
Zack looked over his shoulder to Kara and Trowa, "It's like they're keeping one big secret, and that worries me."
Chris raises a brow, "You worried about what they might be hiding, or worried that Kara might be growing up?"
Kara's cousin snapped back, "Look you're worried about Miroki as much as I worry about Kara, so butt out!"
"Ease up Zack, I know."
Their conversation was cut short by a ringing from Quatre's phone. They watched has Quatre's smile turned into a frown. He nodded a few times, and then went to get his friends. Quietly he talked to them, they nodded, with this worried frown on their faces. Quatre turned to Miroki's mother, "I'm sorry Mrs. Sekkio, but it seems there is a slight problem back home, I promise that my friends and I will be back shortly."
Kara was also watching the whole thing. She didn't think it was a good idea that they were going, but she knew the secret they've been trying to keep from her and Miroki. She also knew that she had no choice. Miroki seemed to be also on Kara's same train of thought.
"Don't worry you guys, go on, I bet it's family or something, we'll wait." Miroki put on a fake smile.
"Miroki's right, we'll wait." Kara nodded.
Duo grinned, "Thanks girls, you're the best."
With that they left. They were driving down back to their safehouse, as quickly as they could.
"Man, I can't believe that happened! Don't they ever take a break?" Duo shouted.
Heero tried to see if he could speed up, "Agreed, fortunately the girls gave us an out."
"We better hurry." Quatre warned.
Duo just gave his manic grin, "Don't worry, we'll beat the crap out of them, and be back in time to carve the turkey."
The boys reached the place where their Gundams were being kept. Back at Miroki's place the girls were have a private conversation up in Miroki's room.
"I hope they're alright, I'm sure they are fighting as we speak." Kara frowned looking out the window.
Miroki's worried looked matched Kara's, "Me too, but maybe we're over reacting, maybe it is family trouble."
Both girls looked at each other for a second, then sighed together, "Fat chance."
Kara got up and paced, "If they are here to fight, then why here?"
"We don't know that yet, don't worry, they'll be back."
The Deathscythe had just finished off two mobiles suits when three more came up behind it.
"Duo watch your back!" Heero shouted.
Heero laser canon destroys two of them; the third is taken out by Duo's scythe.
"There's a carrier taking off, it's carrying a load of materials. Probably ammo, computers and other things to make more mobile suits." Quatre informs them.
"Well, then let's catch that thing!" Duo yells.
Trowa frowned, "They didn't come unprepared."
They watched as a dozen more mobile suits come springing up…
The girls figure there was no point into staying upstairs. When their cousins saw them, they decided it was time to talk.
"Miroki, Kara, Zack and I need to talk to you." Chris said as he walked towards them.
"Well, we don't have anything better to do." Miroki gestured to the table.
Zack sat down, "About those boys…"
"What about them?" Kara asked leaning against the wall.
"We think there's something fishy about them."
Kara and Miroki looked at each other. The same thoughts came through their heads. Did their cousins know about the G-boys?
Miroki just smiled weakly, "Look, they're okay, trust me, I went out with one of them."
"You did what?" Chris nearly shouted.
Kara just replied, "Take a chill pill Chris, she just went out with Quatre once. You two need to be a bit more trusting."
"Whatever cuz, I think both of you are hiding something." Zack carefully looked his cousin in the eye.
Kara looked away, "Look cuz it's our life, and you are younger than me, so leave my life to me."
Chris put his hand on Miroki's shoulder, "We understand, but be careful, okay?"
Miroki grinned, "Don't worry what's the worse that could happen?"
Zack shook his head, "Famous last words."
Miroki would have said something back, but the boys timely arrive stopped her. Both girls ran up to them glad that nothing terrible had happened to them. Though they had noticed that Duo was missing his bow tie, and Heero was limping, but other than that everything was fine.
Later that evening before the pilots left from home after a wonderful meal, and time with the girl's families. Their cousins Zack and Chris came to have a heart to heart chat. Actually it was more like a heart to heart threat.
Heero glared at the two boys, "What do you want?"
"Nothing, just want to tell you boys something." Chris glared back.
"Well, what? No need for glaring." Duo laughed.
Zack frowned, "You guys are up to something…"
Trowa watch them carefully, Wufei prepared to fight, Duo was at a lost for words, Quatre looked worried, Heero just asked in a monotone voice, "And that would be?"
Zack continued, "It's just a warning for all of you guys."
Chris stepped up, "We don't know, but if anything happens to Miroki."
"Or Kara."
Chris who was older, and bigger of the boys there, took Duo and rammed him into their car, "You will hurt so badly you'd wish you haven't been born."
"Chill man, we ain't gonna to anything to your cousins." Duo pushed Chris off of him.
With that they parted they're separate ways. Kara who watched the whole scene shook her head.
"One more glitch for everyone, and Miroki says that things couldn't get any worse."
Author's Note:
Okay! First a few things to tell. First of all I'd like everyone to know, since everyone always seem to say they can't wait for me to get the next story out. That I'll try, try is the main word here. That I'll try to get a story out once every week. Remember though that I have something we call highschool, so I can't say I will. Second this fic is suppose is a long term project, and I the story the whole school thing goes over a year. I might skip a few months, but the idea is to go by our calendar. So Thanksgiving was last week, and this was supposed to be out last week. My bad.
Thank you co-author Female Mewtwo the person who owns Miroki Sekkio, it was also her idea for the flowers thing, she really wanted to do that. She is my co-author.
So what do you think will happen next? What adventures lies ahead? What more glitches will happen? Next time on Wing School!
