Road Trip From Hell
"Come on guys, it'll
be fun!" Duo was practically jumping up and down on the table.
Miroki shook her
head, "How will we get there?"
"Drive of course."
Duo exclaimed.
The other boys were quiet;
Kara was wondering what they were thinking about.
She turns to Duo,
"And you came to us because…"
"Because you two
girls are the best, and we thought you two should come along."
Kara eyed the other
boys, "Right… Okay Duo, now the truth please."
Miroki looked at her
friend questioningly.
The rest of the
G-boys looked a bit worried.
Kara just crossed
her arms and gave Duo her serious look.
Finally Duo sat
down, "Okay, you have us. Truth is we need a guide around the place, so could
you girls please, please come with us?"
Kara stood up,
taking Miroki by the shirt, the two girls walked into another room.
"I take it, you had
a sinking feeling about that?" Miroki asked.
"And I still do, I
don't thing this is purely a social trip Miroki." Kara leaned against the wall.
Miroki eyed that
room that the G-boys were sitting in, "What do you think of the problems that
we'll be facing?"
"Normal problems
will just be the usual when planning a trip, but…"
Miroki raised a
brow, "But?"
"But, we can easily
know that this is not normal. They do need guides Miroki, but not for
the reason they'll giving us."
"A mission?"
Kara nodded, "My
thoughts exactly, the question is, do you want to go?"
"How about you
Kara?"
"I don't know, truth
is, I'm guessing it's serious, so I would help them, they are, our friends."
Kara sighed.
"Then I'm coming,
we'll just stay out of their way." Miroki nodded.
Meanwhile back in
the kitchen, Quatre was wondering if it was becoming such a good idea.
"Are you sure there
isn't another way, there has to be someone else that can go." Quatre asked
Heero.
Heero frowned and
shook his head, "No, we need someone to show us around, it'll also give us a
cover."
"But the girls?"
Quatre asked with more force.
"The girls have
proven time and again that they can take care of themselves. If anything
happens, they might be able to get themselves out of there without much
problem. Unfortunately, they seem to be the only people we can turn to right
now." Trowa stated.
Duo added his two
cents, "Besides we aren't going without backup, if anything happens, we have
something to make sure the girls get back home safely."
"It would be foolish
to do anything without thinking of their will being any how." Wufei backed Duo
up.
Quatre nodded, "I
hope you're right."
The sound of the
girls coming back, their conversation stopped.
The girls sat down,
Kara nodded, "Okay, we'll go, but someone will have to drive."
Miroki explained,
"We both don't have our G2s, so we can't drive on the highway."
Trowa nodded,
"That's okay, one of us will drive to Toronto."
"Also, we have to
tell you girls ahead of time, that we'll be staying in Toronto for a few days."
Heero added.
Miroki frowned,
"What about school? This trip will take up our what's left of our Christmas
break, and then the beginning of school.
Wufei already had
that covered, "We already have permission to go on this trip."
"The teachers are
letting us off, but in return we have to all come up with a project about our
stay in Toronto." Duo explained.
"Okay…" Kara nodded,
"So now that's taken care of, how long?"
"Probably a week,
but we're not sure." Quatre shrugged.
"We are leaving
tomorrow." Heero told them.
The girls nodded,
though truth be told, they were starting to have second thought about all of
this. That night each person started packing for the trip.
Heero looked around
his room, which in this case was pretty simple. He packed more than a week's
worth of clothes, his gun, his laptop, a few disks, some papers, and some
school things.
"That's it, now I
just wait."
Duo was just
chilling for a few minutes before packing. First he took out his cross and
bible, and made a quick prayer before packing.
"Duo, here, this isn't
very formal I know, but… Please make sure that this mission is a success, and
if not, make sure the girls get home safely. Ahem."
Packing up, he took
his school things, clothes, his gun, and lock picks.
Trowa watched as the
snow fell outside his window, on his bed were the outline of a base, his gun,
clothes, and his school stuff.
"No regrets."
Quatre was packing
too, when he was finished, he started playing his violin, which the music fit,
his mood. He had packed what he needs to plan the attack, his gun (yes, even
Quatre had to carry a gun), clothes, his school stuff, and he was thinking
about packing his violin too.
"I hope everything
turns out okay."
Wufei was in his
room, practicing katas with his sword, he was going to pack his sword along with
his gun, explosives, clothes, his school stuff and a book or two.
"We better be right
about these onnas."
Miroki was sitting
on her bed, drawing a picture of her, Kara and the G-boys all together. Beside
her bed was her suitcase ready and packed. She decided to bring a video camera
with her, along with her laptop in case she got bored, or needed it. She looked
at her work.
"Well, this is it,
it's now or never."
Kara paced in her
room nervously, wondering if this was such a good idea. She checked and
double-checked to see if she had everything. Camera, her things, clothes, you
know, normal stuff any normal person would bring along.
"Okay, I think I
have everything, just hope nothing remotely goes wrong."
~The Next Day~
Everyone was standing
in front of Kara's house. A perfect day, no clouds, and yet the girls were a
bit pale. Maybe they weren't feeling well, or maybe it was because…
"Duo is driving?"
Miroki asked in disbelief.
Sure the girls only
heard rumors of Duo's driving ability, but it still didn't help much. This was
Duo Maxwell they were talking about, and he was called the 'God of
Death' for a reason.
Kara looked at the
van, then at Duo, "It can't be that bad, for god's sake, if the guy can pilot a
Gundam, he can certainly drive a van," she thought to herself.
Miroki wasn't as
sure, "I'm going to need a will before getting into that van," she thought as
she saw Duo's grinning face.
Quatre whispered to
Kara, "How long is the drive?"
"About an hour and a
half," she answered back.
Trowa muttered under
his breath, "This is going to be a long ride."
"Injustice, I rather
have one of the onnas drive than Maxwell."
Heero looked around,
"Doesn't anyone else have a G2?"
It seemed like the
answer was no, no one else could drive but Duo. Kara at this point wondered how
Duo got his G2 in the first place. Unfortunately there wasn't anything else
they could do, so they all packed into the van. Duo of course was in the
driver's seat, with Wufei sitting beside him. Right behind Duo was Quatre, the
following Miroki and Heero. Trowa and Kara played it safe and decided to sit
right in the back of the van.
Sometime later, the
van was going down the highway. With some scared passengers in the back, Kara
tapped Miroki's shoulder, pointing to the front, Miroki nodded.
"Duo…" Miroki tapped
on his shoulder.
Duo was listening to
music.
"Duo…"
Still listening to
music.
"DUO!"
The car swerved,
"Hey! Don't do that Miroki, you startled me."
"Turn down that
music," Miroki growled.
"Okay, gee, what is
it?" Duo asked, turning down the music.
Kara spoke up, "Slow
down Duo, we're going to hit Toronto…"
Duo suddenly hit the
brake on the van, everyone lunge forward.
"Traffic," Miroki
finished for Kara.
Kara checked her watch,
"I told you we should have left sooner. We'll be stuck here for a good whole
hour."
Heero looked over
Wufei's shoulder, "Isn't there another way around?"
"Nope," Miroki shook
her head.
~An Hour Later~
The van pulled up to
the hotel, everyone got out to stretch. It was a relief to get out of there.
"Finally! Didn't think we'd get here," Duo took a big stretch.
Miroki got up and
whistled, "We're staying here? It's big."
Kara nodded, "So,
what's the room set up?"
"Well, you and
Miroki will be staying in one room, and we'll be staying in another. The rooms
are connected by a door so if you need us just knock," Quatre explained.
Duo grinned, "Only
this time, there's a lock on the door, so you have to knock."
"I think they are
now scarred for life, from that truth and dare game," Miroki whispered.
Kara just giggled.
They got in, in
record time, unfortunately for the girls; they weren't going to rest any time
soon.
"Alright! Now let's
go around town!" Duo yelled.
"You must be
kidding, we just got here," Miroki pulled Duo back down.
Kara leans against
the wall, "So, what do you want to check out?"
Heero just stated,
"The outskirts of town."
Kara and Miroki
glanced at each other, but didn't say anything.
So here they were,
driving around the outskirts of Toronto, Quatre was driving. The girls rarely
went to the outskirts of Toronto, but it was a change of pace at least. Kara
explained to the G-boys about the different places, Miroki noticed a building
way out in the middle of nowhere. Though Miroki knew very well it wasn't there
before. As they went back into the city, they decided to stop to grab something
to eat before going on again. Once they got back into the hotel the girls
decided their next course of action.
"So, what are we
going to do tomorrow?" Miroki asked.
Kara searched around
for some soda, "Well, it depends on what happens. If the boys are with us
tomorrow then we'll go to the CN tower, if not, then I want to visit Mama."
Miroki watched her
friend, "Mama?"
"Huh? That's my term
for Grandma, at least that's how I think you should say it, my Chinese is
really bad."
"I know what you're
talking about, but I don't know her!" Miroki explained.
"Oh, well, she's
this nice, old lady I visit, she's the reason why I'm learning Chinese, but like
I said it's really bad. Anyways she happens to know about what goes on around
here, so maybe we could ask her about that new building we saw earlier today,"
Kara got out two glasses.
Miroki takes a
glass, "Uh huh… So that's the game plan?"
"Yep!"
"Will someone tell
me again, why we are doing this?" Miroki asks as she pours herself some Root
Beer.
Kara pretended to
think for a minute, "Because somewhere inside of us, there are crazy girl fans
wanting to get in on the action?"
"You had too much
sugar didn't you?"
Kara grinned, "Three
packs of pure sugar, makes Kara less nervous."
"But also makes Kara
very hyper. Didn't anyone tell you that curiosity killed the cat?"
Pouring herself some
Coke, "Yea, but curiosity killed the cat, not the insane girls."
"………"
Kara just shrugged
before gulping down her Coke, "Seriously though Miroki, we are going to have to
tell them sooner or later."
"Tell them what?"
"That we know. I
mean, come on Miroki! You know as well as I do, we both could rattle of
information about the G-boys, it would make their heads spin," Kara poured
herself more Coke.
Miroki took a sip of
Root Beer, "Not only would it make their head spin, Heero would have our
heads."
Meanwhile, in the
boys' room, the pilots were getting ready for their mission.
Duo looked around
the room, "Uh… Guys are you sure it's okay to leave everything like this? What
if the girls come in?"
"Maxwell, the door
is lock, you're not suggesting they could pick the locks are you?"
Trowa looked up from
his work, "I wouldn't put anything pass those girls right now."
"Not you too, Trowa,
these onnas don't know, and they won't find out," Wufei scowled.
"Don't be too sure
of that…" Trowa muttered.
~Morning, Next Day~
Miroki woke up the
next morning to find that the pilots had left a note under their door.
According to the note, the G-boys they wouldn't be back for a whole day, and
that girls should go on without them.
"Kara, wake up! It
seems that the boys had gone, so they should be back by the afternoon."
Kara muttered from her
pillow, "If they're lucky."
"Have some faith,
they are Gundam pilots," Miroki pointed out.
Getting up, Kara
looked into the mirror, "Put it mildly, one of these days we are going to have
to tell them."
"Didn't we already
talk about this?"
Kara mocked a glare,
"Yes, but really Miroki, I bet anything if we rattled off their stats one by
one, they'd freak."
Miroki gave this
evil grin, "I have no doubt of that in my mind."
"I hope they're
alright…"
Somewhere else, say,
a base of some sort the pilots were having a slight problem.
"We're in a bit of
trouble here," Duo looked around for a place to hide.
Wufei growled, "A
bit Maxwell?"
"They were expecting
us," Trowa muttered.
Quatre frowned, "We
better spilt up."
Everyone nodded.
Back in the heart of
Toronto, Kara and Miroki were paying a visit to Mama. Miroki wrinkled her nose,
the place was kind of dim, and she could smell Chinese medicine the minute she
stepped into the apartment. Kara didn't seem to notice, which suggested that it
always smelled like that. A lady was sitting in front of a TV, knitting
something.
The lady looked up
and spoke to them in Chinese, "Ah, hello Kara, I see you brought a friend with
you."
Kara took a seat in
front of Mama, "Yes, this is Miroki Sekkio."
"Hello," Miroki took
a seat beside Kara.
"So, is your family
taking a trip here Kara?" Mama asked, knitting.
"No Mama, I'm here
with friends."
Mama smiled, "Why
aren't they here?"
Miroki spoke up,
"They have some business to take care of."
Kara changed the
subject, "Mama, I have a question to ask you?"
"Oh?"
"There is a new
building on the outskirts of Toronto, could you tell us about it?"
Mama frowned, which
was strange because she rarely did, "I do not like those people."
"What people?"
Miroki questioned.
"The people in the that
building you girls are talking about. Do not like them at all."
"Why not?"
Mama scoffed, "They
have no respect, they just came one day, and soon that building was there. They
come into the city, in their uniforms."
Kara and Miroki echo
in unison, "Uniforms?"
"Yes, uniforms, like
they were from the military, do not like them at all. It's peaceful in this
country, to is anything military is out of place here."
"But surely Mama,
that they can not be military people," Kara replied.
"True, not our
military, but they look it. No one but their own is allowed in their building.
Some say they carry guns."
Kara and Miroki
looked worrily at each other.
Mama continued,
"Something strange is going on, all of these strange sightings, and attacks.
Most of them happen near where you live, do they not?"
Kara nodded, "Yes,
Mama."
"These people will
bring nothing but trouble, I'm sure of it. Do not trust these people, but I do
trust the other kind."
Miroki looked
confused, "The other kind?"
"Yes, they too dress
in uniform, but they are nice, respectable people. A lady, a doctor, called
herself Sally, came by here the other day. She's so nice, yes a really nice
person."
Kara smiled, "Thank
you so much Mama."
"Your welcome, and
Kara?"
"Yes, Mama?"
"Be careful, okay?"
"Yes, Mama."
As they walked back
to the hotel, the girls were since trying to make sense of what they had just
heard. There was just more questions than answers right now, and they were sure
it wasn't going to be the end of it.
Back in the base,
Duo was pacing back and forth, in his cell. Heero was trying to figure out,
what would be the best course of action, not to mention wished he had a gun
with him. Things were getting bad, really bad.
It was evening; the
girls were in their hotel room waiting. The boys had not returned, and they
were getting worried. Miroki was sitting on the edge of her bed, frowning, and
staring at the clock. Kara was pacing back and forth between their beds, every
once in awhile glaring at the door which separated their rooms. Finally after
half an hour of pacing, Kara couldn't take it anymore. Briskly walking over to
a drawer, she looked around till she found a small box full of Miroki's bobby
pins.
"Kara, what are you
doing?" Miroki watched her friend.
"I am going to find out
where they went to."
Taking a bobby pin
Kara walked over to the door, kneeing she picked at the lock, till she heard
the wonderful sound of the door being unlocked. Grinning from ear to ear, she
opened the door and walked in, with Miroki following closely. Inside, the room
looked something out of those old war movies, well almost. On the bed were
plans for the base; on the desk was Heero's laptop, in the corner of the room
some leftover explosives, among other things.
"It would be safe to
say that they got caught," Miroki stated walking over the Heero's computer.
Kara looked over the
plans, "So what do we do now?"
"Do what any friend
would, we bust them out."
Kara eyed the maps,
"How? We need a way to get in."
"Does those plans
say anything?" Miroki started typing on Heero's computer.
"There are vents
lending in and out of the place," Kara studied the map, before pointing to a
certain spot, "Here would be our best bet."
"Great, this
shouldn't be a problem."
Kara frowned, "Well,
there's one problem."
"Oh?"
"No guns, we don't
have any, but…" Kara looked at the corner, "We could use those explosives for a
distraction."
"Probably more than
that, the boys were supposed to destroy the base, know anything about
explosives?"
"Not a clue, but, I
think I know how to turn to," Kara said thoughtfully.
"Before you try
anything, could we not tell the boys it's us till after we get back safe
and sound?"
"Okay, so I'll get
these people to keep our secret for a while."
Meanwhile,
Milliardo, Noin and Sally were sitting talking over what had been happening for
the past few days.
"So, has anything
been decided?" Sally asked.
Noin shook her head,
"We're getting close, but we don't want to make any mistakes right now."
"Then why are you
and Milliardo here?"
Milliardo spoke up,
"The pilots brought along two girls, if they don't come back, Noin and I are
suppose the make sure they get back home safely."
Sally perked up,
"They don't know?"
He shook his head,
"They don't have a clue about the pilots, to them, the pilots are just fellow
students."
At that moment
Sally's phone rang.
"Hello, Sally Poe
speaking. Hello Mrs. Wong, is there something I can help you with?"
Kara takes the phone
from Mama, "Hello? This is Kara Winters speaking, is Mr. Peacecraft and Miss.
Noin with you?"
Sally frowned, "Yes
they are."
"I need to talk to
them."
Sally handed the
phone over to Noin, "It's for you, from a Kara Winters."
Noin grabbed the
phone, "Kara?"
"Hi Miss. Noin, look
the G-boys aren't back yet, and we think they're in trouble. Do you think you
could help us with the leftover explosives they left in their room?"
Milliardo watched as
Noin's jaw dropped to the table, "G-boys? Explosives? Trouble?"
Kara got a bit
nervous, "Well… We didn't tell them that we already knew about them, but they
need help, so could you please help us?"
Noin tried to calm
down, "What do you mean 'knew about them'?"
Miroki this time
took the phone, "You see, we in private, and out of earshot of the boys, call
them G-boys, which stands for Gundam boys."
Kara could just imagine
Noin really losing it, as she heard, "Gundam boys?!?!?!"
"Hehe, well, we're
Gundam Wing fans, so we always knew, we just never told them, always, are you
going to help us or not?"
~Midnight~
In the darkness of
the night, the girls went for the base. Making Mama, promise not to tell their
parents about this, which for some reason, she promise she wouldn't. While
making Sally, Noin and Milliardo promise not to tell the G-boys that they knew
about them, till they told the boys themselves. Both girls wore loose black
clothes provided by Sally, along with black caps to cover their eyes. Miroki
made it so that her hair would hide under the cap, if you didn't know any
better, you'd say they were boys. Right were Kara said it would be, was the
vent leading in, Kara had chosen that place, because she was sure it wasn't
heavily guarded. Crawling through the vents wasn't very hard, it fact it was
pretty easy if you thought about.
In the cell, Duo had
finally stopped pacing, but it was getting late. Knowing the girls, they would
be wondering where they were.
"If we ever get out
of this, we'll need a pretty good excuse," Duo thought to himself.
All of the pilots
looked up to the sound of fighting outside, and the sound of people getting
hit. The door opened to reveal two boys dressed in matching black clothes and
caps. One of the boys smiled from ear to ear, bounding up to Quatre, "Quatre!
You're alright."
While the other
slapped himself on the forehead.
The girls were lucky
to surprise the guards, it took a bit of hot wiring, but they were able to open
the door. Unfortunately, Miroki just had to go up to Quatre Not that Kara
wasn't happy too, but still. Kara groaned slapping herself on the forehead,
grabbing Miroki before she could hug Quatre. Heero glared at the girls.
"Who are you, and
how do you know Quatre?" he growled at them.
Kara pulled the cap
over her eyes, "We were sent to bust you guys out of here, come on. We aren't
sticking around."
Miroki nodded,
"They'll know soon, so we better jet."
Quatre and the other
followed as the two boys ran out of the cell. Quatre knew that they weren't
telling the whole truth, but then again, what could you say to two guys who are
saving you? Before they could get down one hallway, alarms went off, throughout
the base. Both boys cursed under their breath. They all stopped, Duo watched
them as the one boy with green eyes pulled out a detonation device.
The other boy turned
to them, "Be prepare to run."
Soon explosions
could be heard, as they ran for dear life. It reminded Duo of the first time
Heero had busted him out of a base. Unfortunately the next corridor they were
running down had soldiers there. One boy jumped up and gave two soldiers a good
roundabout kick to the head, while the other took the third down by decking
him. Heero took the fallen soldiers' guns, giving one to Duo and Trowa.
Everyone turned their heads back from the way they came, as shouts for someone
giving orders could be heard. Another detonation device was pressed, and fire
from down that way could be seen.
"Come on."
They all keep
running, while one boy talked to the other.
Kara and Miroki were
panicked, they had planned to get out the way they came, but it looked like
they would have to find another way out.
"Tell me, you know
another way out," Miroki shouted.
Kara nodded, "This
way, follow me, just keeping setting off those explosives each time we clear a
corridor."
"Duck!"
Everyone dropped to
the ground as a hail of bullets met them. Heero started shooting back, followed
by Trowa and Duo. Kara crawled on her belly to a near by wall.
"Hand me the last
explosive!"
Miroki handed the
last one to her. Kara set it down, this time using the timer, she signaled for
everyone to move back. Everyone ran, with Kara close behind as the bomb went
off. Duo grinned as he saw the hole in the wall, leading to the outside.
"We're out of here!"
Duo shouted.
Sometime later,
actually a long time later, everyone arrived back at the hotel room safe and
sound. With Sally, Noin and Milliardo waiting for them. Duo thumbed towards the
girls.
"Thanks for sending
back up," he said.
Noin smiled, "Well,
they asked us for help, but they wanted to help you guys."
Trowa frowned, "Oh?"
The girls grinned at
each other before Miroki spoke up, "Well, there is something we have to tell
you guys."
Heero started to
reach for his gun, "And that would be?"
Miroki took off her
cap, letting her raven black hair fall down. There was a stunned silence;
Quatre stared at Miroki in pure shock.
Trowa finally pieced
it together, "If that's Miroki then…" he pointed to Kara.
Kara smiled, before
taking off her cap, "That's right."
"Are you telling me,
that the girls busted us out?" that was more of a statement than a question.
Kara took a deep
breath, "Not only that, but there is something that Miroki and I need to tell
you. Maybe we should all sit down."
Wufei nodded, "You
have a lot of explaining to do."
"You have no idea
Wufei, no idea."
Author's Note: Hehe,
finally I did it, but that won't end there. Just the beginning of something
more.
Thank you Female
Mewtwo for all of your help, support, and your character Miroki Sekkio. Let's
see, the part of nearly blowing their cover was her idea, among other things.
She's the best.
So what do you think
will happen next? How are the boys going to take this? What new adventures will
lie ahead, and how is this going to effect their friendship or relationship?
Next time on Wing School!
