Halloween Fright
It was nearly time for Halloween; Miroki was at Kara's house. Kara was putting the finishing touches on Miroki's costume, while humming the tune from 'Just Communication'.
"Kara, do you even know how to sing the words to that song?" Miroki asked after awhile.
"Yep, and to many other songs."
Miroki tried to turn around, but Kara wouldn't let her, "It's Japanese, do you understand a single word you're singing?"
"Nope."
Miroki just shook her head, "I know, going to regret asking this, but what is this surprise you have in store?"
"It's a surprise…" Kara murmured.
"I hope you're sure about this."
Kara looked up and gave her friend a smile, thinking to herself, "I hope I'm sure too. After that e-mail message I'm not too sure of anything."
The next day the girls got to school, they noticed that the atmosphere in the school had changed. It was gossip, Miroki was sure of it. They met up with the G-boys; Kara could tell that they too, were wondering about the change in the school. Though both girls would have betted anything that the boys had no idea about the e-mail. That was the only person to come up to the boys, there talking was Nick.
"Hiya girls! Did ya hear?" Nick gave his goofy grin.
"Sometimes I wonder what's going on in his mind." Kara thought to herself.
Miroki just shrugged, "Probably, what?"
Nick lowered his voice, "Everyone got an e-mail saying that this school isn't what it seems."
Everyone tried to keep a neutral face, not revealing what was going on in their minds.
Heero was wondering who sent the e-mails, or in this case whom to kill. Duo was thinking about asking around the school to see what everyone else has heard. Trowa and Quatre were going to inform the others of this little development that just happened. While Wufei was going to do the same as Heero, look for the person that sent the e-mails. Kara and Miroki were just worried about what was going to happen next.
Miroki decided to help the boys out, "Come on Nick, I bet it was just some stupid prank someone decided to pull."
"Yea, I'm sure Miroki." Nick nudged her.
After he left, everyone went their separate ways. Heero and Wufei said they had some business to take care of, Quatre and Trowa said they needed to see a teacher about something, while Duo just stayed with the girls.
"So, did you girls get any e-mails like that?" Duo asked causally.
Kara sighed, "Yea, we did," then she lied, "But since it was Friday the 13th, we didn't think about it much, did we Miroki?"
Miroki went along with Kara, "Yep, it just something a joker would do."
Somehow the girls figured that Duo didn't buy that, "Uh huh, so it's okay with you?"
Both girls nodded.
"That's good, some people have nothing better to do." Duo grinned, "See ya both later." Duo yelled as he left.
Kara groaned, "Remind me to delete any weird e-mails I get from now on."
"Sure, do you think Heero and Wufei went to find the person?"
"I have no doubt in my mind that, that's what is happening. How long do you think we can keep quiet about this?" Kara chewed her lower lip.
Miroki frowned, "I don't know, I'd like to know why we are helping them."
"Trust Miroki, trust, right now I trust them to set whatever they have to do right. I don't think they would let anything remotely bad happen to the school."
"You have too much trust Kara."
Later that day Kara caught up with Quatre, on his way home.
"Quatre!" Kara shouted across the hallway.
Quatre turned, "Hi Kara, is there something I can help you with?"
Stopping in front of him, Kara caught her breath, "That party at the dancehall is still on right?"
"Don't worry, it's still on."
"Good." Kara grinned, "Miroki and I will be there."
As Quatre left, Kara thought to herself, "I hope I know what I'm doing, I wish I knew what was going on."
Quatre himself was going to catch up with the rest of the Gundam pilots. He had convinced them a week before to throw a Halloween party at a local dancehall, since they couldn't have it at his house. The others, but Duo had doubts about throwing a party, but Quatre convinced them that it would be fun, also they would get to know their fellow classmates better. It would be a good time to just act like a normal student, even if they weren't. He left to school to the local dancehall that he was renting out. The rest of the pilots were getting everything ready for the party.
"Hey, Quatre! We got everything set." Duo called from the ladder.
Wufei just shook his head, "I still don't see why we are doing this."
"It'll be fun, to act like normal kids for once." Duo explained.
"Who is coming?" Heero asked from the stage.
Quatre thought for a minute, "Most of our classmates, Noin, Millardo, Relena, Hilde, Catherine, Sally, and Dorothy."
"The girls are coming?" Duo asked.
"Why not? They'll like it." Quatre smiled.
Meanwhile Quatre wasn't the only person planning for the party. Kara was getting Miroki ready for the party, though Miroki had no idea about it. When Kara stepped back to see her creation, she grinned happily.
"You look amazing Miroki." Kara was smiling from ear to ear.
Miroki tugged at the fabric; "If you say so…" then she turned to the mirror, "Gah! Kara what have you done to me?!?!"
In the mirror, Miroki saw that she was wearing a long, flowing, white dress, at least this time it had sleeves. It was a creamy white, with gold snitching on the top of it. Behind her was a pair of white wings, and somehow Kara had managed to put sparkles in her hair. She turned to yell at Kara, but was shocked to see her friend was also in a costume. This one was strapless, with a skirt that went to her knees, it was yellow, and behind her was pixie wings.
"Now you look like an angel." Kara tried not to laugh at Miroki's expression.
"I am not going out in public like this." Miroki growled.
Kara pulled at Miroki's arm, "Too bad, we have a party to go to."
"Gah!"
It was a funny sight, seeing two teenage girls, a pixie dragging an angel to the car. Both Kara and Miroki tried to get comfortable since they had wings on the back. Before Miroki could say no, Kara drove off, to the dancehall.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me! What party? Who?" Miroki started asking questions.
Kara laughed, "Settle down, I didn't tell, because that's the surprise, the party is being held by the G-boys, and we are going to the local dancehall."
"You could have made a different costume for me…" Miroki grumbled.
"Well, I think you look cute, no beautiful, if your lucky no one will know it's you." Kara smiled.
"You look like an older version of Sakura." Miroki couldn't help but smile.
Kara grinned, "That was what I was trying to do, but my hair is too short to put into pigtails."
"Ever thought about growing your hair?"
"Yes, but it'll probably get in the way."
Kara stopped in front of the dancehall, since there was parking there. As both girls stepping into the dancehall they grinned happily. Each of the G-boys was dressed up. Heero was dressed up in normal clothes, and yet he had leopard ears, tail, and whiskers, it kind of reminded the girls of the character Akito Hayama from an anime show.
"Then again, his personality fits too." Kara thought to herself.
Then there was Duo, he was dressed up all in black, but that didn't surprise the girls. Almost all of the pictures they ever saw were of Duo, wearing black, white or red. Miroki figured, judging by the scythe that Duo held, he had dressed as the Grim Reaper. Though he really didn't act the part, grinning from ear to ear, and his braid swinging back and forth.
"Leave it to the guy who calls himself the God of Death to dress up as the Grim Reaper." Miroki shook her head and grinned.
Whether the girls were surprised or not, Trowa was dressed up as what he always dressed up as, as a clown. In fact both he and his sister Catherine were dressed up in their usual circus outfits. Kara grinned, sure Trowa didn't dress up even as the clowns one would normally see, but she found it better.
"And he isn't wearing that damn ruffle like in the first season." Kara murmured so only Miroki heard.
Quatre was wearing something, some people might think of when it came to his nationality. He dressed up as an Arabian knight. Kara just grinned to herself, Miroki thought Quatre looked really good like that. The Sandrock pilot was dressed for the part.
"Wow, he looks amazing…" Miroki whispered to Kara.
Lastly was Wufei, and to both of the girls' surprise, he actually dressed up! Not only did he dress up, he actually got into the spirit of the party. That was the last thing either girl expected. He was dressed up a Dracula his black hair let down, a white shirt, black pants and cape. Complete with the fangs.
"You know, I didn't think Wufei would dress up like that." Kara commented.
"Agreed, so now what?" Miroki asked.
Kara grinned, "There are some more characters here, lets mingle a bit. Millardo and Noin are over there, Relena, Hilde, and Dorothy are talking over there. Sally is trying to get Wufei to dance, good luck, and Catherine is chatting with Adam over there."
"Uh, huh… I thought you weren't into this going to dance and mingle stuff."
Miroki's friend nodded, "Normally, but I'm here, so I'd like to at least chat, since the chances of dancing are nil."
"Don't be too sure."
Making their way through the crowd they met up with Relena and the others. Relena turned to see the newcomers; she gave one of those welcome smiles.
"Hello, my name is Relena Peacecraft, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Kara kept a straight face, "Thanks, I'm Kara Winters."
"Miroki Sekkio."
Introductions went on for the evening. The girls got to chat with everyone, including their teachers. With time both girls started talking separating with other people.
"So, has my little brother been causing any trouble?" Catherine smiled as she chatted with Kara.
"Nope, so you're his older sister? Why don't you go to the school?"
Catherine had a quick answer for that one, "Can't have to take care of the family business."
Kara nodded, as she listened the music come on, more people had started dancing. Sally had somehow, both girls didn't want to ask, but she got Wufei to dance. Miroki chuckled at the sight wishing she had a camera, Kara brought a camera and took a quick picture. Duo some how grabbed the camera and started taking pictures of everyone at the party. They just let Duo run a muck for a while. Though it looked like Heero was ready to kill him, since Duo wouldn't leave him or Relena alone. Miroki was about to use Kara's prop wand to hit Duo over the head, but Hilde grabbed the wand and did that herself. Kara noticed that Quatre had started dancing with other people. Figuring this was her chance, since it seems that the girls' only fun, is to annoy each other to no end, by setting each other up, grabbed Miroki. Dragging the less than angel and more like fighter across the dance floor. By then Quatre had finished dancing, in which Kara pushed Miroki forward. Miroki didn't bump into Quatre, but this did get Quatre's attention. He asked her to dance, and since Miroki really didn't want to turn him down, agreed. Not before giving the grinning pixie a death glare. Briskly walking over to Duo, Kara took back her camera, put in some new film, and started taking pictures.
"So that's why you brought the camera."
The voice behind Kara made her jump, as she let out a yelp of surprise. She turned to see Trowa standing there behind her.
"Don't do that! You nearly scared me to death!" Kara snapped.
Trowa looked a Kara.
"Is he amused about that?" Kara thought to herself.
"Miroki is probably going to get you back for that." Trowa stated.
Kara shrugged, "I know, we always do this, trust me."
"So I see…"
Before anything else could be said, the dance floor shook violently. Everyone started to panic; Kara almost fell, when Trowa grabbed her. Miroki and Quatre made their way along with the rest of the G-boys and girls.
"What in the hell is this? An earthquake?" Duo yelled over the noise.
Miroki shook her head, "No, we can't get earthquakes in this part of the country. It's just not possible."
"We better go, it won't be safe staying here, earthquake or not." Noin voice was dead serious.
With just nod, everyone started making their way out of the dancehall. As they were running out Miroki could have sworn she saw a big robot near the dancehall, but Quatre was pulling her along, making sure that they both got out. Kara also notice it, and before Trowa grabbed her arm, took quick pictures of what she saw. When they got far enough away from the dancehall, Quatre looked over the crowd to make sure everyone was safe. Fortunately everyone had gotten out safety, without another word, everyone went home. The boys asked if they would be all right, and Kara told them they would be fine. Once Kara dropped Miroki off at her house, Kara drove off to develop the photos.
Miroki tired, wanted to go to bed, but something nagged at her. A feeling that wouldn't go away, finally, after not being able to see, she decided to check her e-mail. Unfortunately that seemed to be a bad choice. There in her e-mail box was other letter, which was addressed to all Wing School students.
It read:
Subject: To All Students
I told you, but you wouldn't listen did you, fools. I'll be gone for now, but you better leave the school if you know what's good for you.
Miroki frowned, muttering under her breath, "That guy is definitely, in my bad book."
During this time Kara had just gotten back from the one-hour photo shop. She tossed the pictures on the kitchen table. It had the usual pictures of people in costumes, and the dances. The only pictures that were out of place were the ones of the huge mobile suits. The pictures that Kara took quickly outside the dancehall. Taking those pictures Kara put them carefully in a box, then putting them in her drawer.
"Trust, I trust the G-boys, that they won't let anything really bad happen. Unless it is really bad, then I won't show these to anyone." She whispered to herself.
Author's Note: Let's see, yes if you are wondering we have always planned that some of the girls would show up in the story. This is just in time for Halloween.
Thank you to my Co-author Female Mewtwo, the creator of Miroki Sekkio. Thanks for your support as well.
Okay, review everyone! So what's going to happen next? Besides the fact that this guy is a complete wacko. Will the girls find out what's going on? Or will this whole year just go by, without more problems? Hehe, will Miroki really get Kara back for that little set up? And what adventures coming up next? Next time, on Wing School!
