Mock Mission
Near the end of the
month, after the girls had arrived home, the notice about them staying at the
Wing School's dorms came in the mail. Their parents weren't happy, but the
girls convinced their families that it was a great idea, well… most of their
families anyways.
Chris glared at the
boxes in his cousin's room and then at the poor boy that was helping Miroki
pack. Quatre Winner was having a hard time with Chris Sekkio, Miroki's cousin,
Miroki's over protective cousin. Miroki though had no idea that her cousin was
in her room; she was in the basement looking for a few things. The Sandrock
pilot tried his best to not piss off Chris, which was impossible to say the
least.
"Why in the hell are
you in my cousin's room?" Chris growled.
Quatre explained,
"Miroki is going to say in the Wing School dorms from now on, and she said she
needed help packing."
"Quatre! Do you
think this suitcase will be big enough?" Miroki asked as she threw a medium
size suitcase onto the bed.
She blinked as she
noticed her cousin, and then noticed that he was glaring at Quatre.
"Chris, what's the
matter?" she asked, though knowing full well what was the matter.
"What," Chris
pointed at Quatre, "Is he doing here?"
Miroki pouted,
"Quatre-kun is here to help me with my packing of course!"
"Quatre-kun?" Chris
growled.
Miroki smirked,
though she and Kara had just recently was starting to learn more Japanese, her
cousin knew a lot. To say the least having Miroki call Quatre that was not a
good thing.
"The next thing
you're going to say is that he's leng jai!" Chris could barely keep his voice
down.
"Too late, Miroki
already said that he's leng jai," Kara grinned walking into the room.
"Miroki!"
Miroki frown, "Grow
up already! No one else could help me with my packing so I asked Quatre to help
me pack. Besides he lives in the room right across from Kara's and mine's so it
wouldn't be a problem."
"Uh oh, you
shouldn't have mentioned that," Kara murmured, seeing Chris's face turn a
lovely shade of red.
"Kara!" a voice
yelled from downstairs.
Kara giggled, "Oh
dear, I think Zack found out about the dorm arrangement. I knew he wasn't going
to be happy about it."
Zack came storming
up the stairs. You had to admit, it was weird, since Kara was at least three
years older than Zack. Yet, Zack always acted like Kara was the younger, the
younger that needed to be protected. His face was equally as red as Chris's,
though Kara paid to heed to her cousin. During this time, Quatre's face was
also turning red, only he was blushing.
Quatre coughed,
"Should we get to your rooms now?"
Miroki nodded, "Good
idea, we should, come on, and Chris, see you later."
"Don't do anything
stupid, we'll be fine," Kara added.
"Get back here!" both
cousins yelled at once.
Too late, they were
out the door, and on their way to the school. When they got to the dorms they
noticed that Nick was there.
"Hyia girls!" he
gave a goofy grin.
Kara stared, "Nick!
What are you doing here?"
"Same as you girls,
some kids here got invited to stay in the dorms, cool huh?" Nick grinned
looking around, "Too bad you girls have to stay in the dorm on the other side
of the school, anyways, see ya."
With that Nick left,
the girls shrugged it off. After all it was probably just another cover, which
other kids would be picked. Only different was, that they were separated by the
dorms, in which they lived. After some time, they finally got to their rooms.
Miroki's room was right beside Kara's, while the boys' rooms were right across
from them. They were met in the hallway by the rest of the pilots, Noin,
Milliardo, and five familiar looking scientists.
Kara lowered her box
she was carrying a bit, "Uh, hi."
Dr. J nodded,
"Hello, you must be the new pilots."
Heero and Duo took
the boxes from the girls, "Here, we'll take care of that," Duo grinned.
Dr. J looked each
girl over closely; he nodded everyone once in awhile. The scientist, which Kara
was sure, was Master O was looking through two files. Miroki just shrugged, letting
the scientist study them for a while.
"Alright, now that
we know who the pilots are going to be, we can name and finish the Gundams
within a month. If everything goes according the plan," Dr. J says after a few
minutes.
Miroki frowned,
"Name and finish the Gundams?"
Master O nodded, "As
you might have noticed, the Gundams that your friends pilot are suited to their
personally. We want the same for the both of you, to have Gundams to fit your
personalities was well, but we won't know, till we see you in a mobile suit.
That is, till you learn how to pilot one at least."
"That makes sense,"
Miroki nodded.
Kara turned to Noin,
"Anything else we need to know?"
"A lot, first of all
the training rooms for you girls are down in the hidden base. It is below the
school, your dorm leads right to those rooms. Of course, this is where you
girls have the advantage, each of the pilots will be teaching you their
specialty, but we mostly want to concentrate on what we think will be your
specialty."
"So in other words
we'll be learning the same things, but in some areas will be learning more,"
Kara thought aloud.
Noin nodded, "Yes,
more or less that's the idea, but we don't have much time."
"This is going to be
a long school year," Miroki muttered.
"We'll start today,
Miroki, you're with me, Wufei and Quatre. Kara you go with Trowa and Duo,"
Heero stated, "Be back in the hallway after lunch."
The girls unpacked
before heading to the café for lunch. The pilots weren't there, but Nick was.
Nick motioned for them to join him.
"Come on, there's
lots of room," Nick grinned.
Both girls sat down.
"Guess what going to
happen," Nick asked in a sing-a-song manner.
Miroki rolled her
eyes, "What?"
"Secret and Hearts."
Kara raised a brow,
"They do that here?"
"Secret and Hearts?"
Miroki asked.
"It's another form
of Secret Valentine, remember? That thing we use to do every year?" Kara
explained.
Miroki grinned, "I
remember…"
Nick looked from one
girl to the next, "Hello… I just met the two of you this year. Care to fill me
in?"
"Well, during Secret
Valentine, Miroki and I take our little books, and write down couples. We work
together to bring these couples together," Kara told.
"Ah, in other words,
you two play cupid."
Miroki nods, "Right,
every year we do this, this year we hope to get everyone on our list together."
"More like mission
impossible this year," Kara shook her head, knowing full well who was on their
list.
Nick mocked a cough,
"So, how do you get these couples together."
"Easy, make them do
the Secret Valentine," Kara tells him, "See, tradition is around here, there is
this dance club that sell tickets for Valentine's Day."
"On that day, the
people doing this, gives the person a ticket to the dance club, and they go
together as a date," Miroki finishes.
"And pray tell, how
do you get these people to play Secret Valentine?" Nick looked at each girl.
Kara cleared her
throat, "Well, sometimes, we just need to ask if the person is doing
Valentine's Day, and they pick the person we have on our list, like they
already like each other, but…"
"But?"
"Most of the time is
has to do with favors and blackmail," Kara grinned sheepishly.
"So then, they don't
like each other," Nick stated.
Miroki shook her
head, "No… They like each other, they're just stubborn, or shy, or both."
"A little push, so
to speak," Kara explained.
"So, who's on your
list this year? Please not me," Nick pleaded.
"Nope, the boys in
our dorm, just three of them anyways," Kara thought for a minute, "Make that
two, he'll be easy, anyways, and the two are the biggest problem."
"Good luck, you'll
need it. Duo I can see, Quatre I can see, but Trowa, Wufei or Heero, you girls
have your work cut out for you," Nick replied.
~Later That
Afternoon~
Everyone had split up
into his or her respective group. Miroki was sparring with Wufei (again) that
day. Heero and Quatre were setting up another mock mission. Supposedly, Miroki
had to enter the 'target' alone, hack into a computer mainframe which Heero had
set up, and cryptic himself.
Wufei was briefing
Miroki, while sparring with her, "Okay Sekkio, this is how it works. Treat this
like a real Oz base. You must sneak in, pass the guards, hack into the
mainframe, download the information, and get out without being caught."
Miroki nodded,
"Okay, and then?"
"Remember, us pilots
will be along with Noin and Milliardo will be acting like Oz soldiers. Once you
get out of the base, meet Winters at the appointed meeting place. Pass the
information to her; her job is to get that information safely back to the
school. That is if you get out of the base," Wufei smirked.
"You have no faith,"
with that Miroki kicked him.
Meanwhile, Kara
trying to keep warm, she was standing beside Duo, on the edge of a semi-busy
street."
"Okay, so tell me
what I'm suppose to do," Kara murmured.
Duo grinned, "That's
the spirit, anyways it's simple. Miroki is supposed to be giving you
information, which she downloaded from a base. Your job is to get it, back to
the school safely, and without getting caught. Remember, there's a good chance
there's Oz soldiers about, or in this case us. So you have to avoid us, and
make use we don't see you."
"How, in the hell am
I supposed to do that?" Kara growled.
Duo just shrugged,
"Blend on in, act, in a crowd like this, it could go neither way, you could
just simply disappear in the crowd like this and turn that into your advantage.
Anyways good luck."
With that he left,
leaving Kara there to face everything alone. Meanwhile, Miroki had already
started her part of the mock mission. She snuck in, without much of a problem.
It was just getting around that was the problem, after all, how do you get
around in a place you've never been in? Some doors were locked, while others
were open, but it wasn't the room she was looking for. After sometime, she
started feeling slightly annoyed, partly because she couldn't find the room.
Then after checking the tenth door, she found it. The computer was just like
any in the school; only Miroki knew that this is what she was looking for. Her
hopes dropped when she saw how encrypted the information was. It was more
advanced than anything Kara used; this was going to take awhile.
Back at the street,
Noin noticed that no one had come for Kara yet. She decided to see how Kara
would act if she came now. Kara rubbed her hands together; she noticed that
Noin was already coming. She could leave, but then where would Miroki be?
"Excuse me Miss?
You've been waiting out here for a long time," Noin addressed the half frozen
girl.
Kara smiled, "I
know, I'm afraid my friend is late. We'd promise to meet here so I could give
her something, but I'm afraid that she might not come."
Noin nodded, that
was quick, "What are you giving your friend?"
Kara blinked, she
hadn't thought of that, to make it worse. She left her schoolbag back in her
dorm. Clutching her chest, she noticed that she was still wearing her house
key. She took it off.
"My house key, I
have to be in my dorm, and my mom said she had more stuff for me to, but I
don't have a car, so I'm asking my friend to help me," Kara explained.
Noin smiled, "Quick,
not bad, but let's see how she handles one of those unexpected glitches," she
thinks to herself, "Why don't you take my car? It's not too far from here, and
it wouldn't be much trouble."
Kara was about to
look surprised, but quickly looked down, as if thinking, which she was, "Hurry,
Miroki…"
"Bingo!" Miroki
whispered.
She grinned, it took
her long enough to break the code. Now she could download and get out of here.
Though with all of this stress, Miroki wondered how the boys could do this day
in and day out. Sighing a breath of relief as she took her reward and pocketed
it. A click made her turn around, Wufei was there, pointing a gun at her.
"Well, well, look
here onna, you're caught," Wufei smirked.
Miroki smiled
sweetly, "Caught, only when you handcuff me."
With that she
dropped to the floor, sweeping Wufei off his feet. She jumped over him, and
opened the door. Only to see Heero glaring back at her.
"Oops!" Miroki
slammed the door on Heero, "Okay, I need a way out."
She looked up, "Not
a vent, again…"
That's when Miroki
notice the door was opening, quickly using her body; she slammed the door shut
and locked it. The climbing the rafters for the building, Miroki once again
takes a vent out of the room. Unfortunately she knew that she couldn't take the
vent all the way out of the base. So, it meant, braving the halls. Running down
on hallway a full speed, she really wished she remembered the way back. She
barely stopped in time, as she saw Quatre walking down the other way, doubling
back, she turned a corner with her back against the wall.
"Please, please, please
don't come over here. How in the hell do the boys do this day in and day out? I
swear I'm gonna suffer from a heart attack very soon," Miroki thinks.
Heero runs up the
Quatre, "She's here, seal off the exits," then gives an evil grin, "A rookie is
not going to get out of here without being handcuffed."
"Gee, I thought he
was going to say without being killed. This is going to be a long day," Miroki
sighs quietly.
Meanwhile, back with
Kara, "……………… My friend might worry if she doesn't find me here," Kara
explained and hoped that Noin would leave it at that."
Not a chance, "Well,
maybe you should call your friend."
"Kara!"
Kara looked up there
was Miroki! Miroki had finally gotten out of there, without too much trouble.
Okay, a lot of trouble, she nearly had run into Heero more times than she could
remember. To make it worse, they found out that Miroki had left the building,
and now where looking the streets for her. Of course seeing Noin there, didn't
help in the problem, just made it ten times worse.
Kara smiled,
"Miroki! Over here!"
Miroki walked up to
the two of them, eyeing Noin, while Noin eyed back, "Kara, who is…"
"Miroki! If you were
stuck in traffic, why didn't you tell me? I was so worried!" Kara hugged her
friend, searching for the disk.
Miroki got the clue,
and shoved the disk into Kara's hand, "Sorry, I couldn't my cellphone went
dead."
Kara gave Miroki her
house key, "Well, here, remember to tell my mom to put my name on the box, and
that you'll drop my stuff off at my dorm, okay?"
"Okay."
With that Kara left,
hiding the disk in an inner pocket. She smiled, it went well, that might have
been to close for comfort, but it went well. Noin looked at Miroki, before
asking, "Where's your cellphone?"
Miroki blinked, as
Noin checked her before she could say anything, "Hey! What in the hell do ya
think your doing?"
"No cellphone,
interesting," Noin murmured before yelling, "The disk is with her partner!"
Kara heard that
yell, and looked up, the pilots were now looking for her. The only thing that
she could do was go with the crowd and hope they didn't notice her.
Unfortunately, she didn't see to two figures up ahead. She bumped into Duo and
Milliardo, the two of them grinning down at her.
"Sorry about that,"
Kara said before moving on.
Duo grabbed her arm,
"Uh, uh… like I said, it can go two ways. Even soldiers have an advantage using
crowds, cause no one would notice if you disappeared."
Kara looked up,
"Excuse me?"
Milliardo walked up
behind her, looking through her coat, "You have the disk rebel, now where did
you hide it?"
"I don't know what
you're talking about," Kara murmured pulling away.
Duo just pulled her
back, harder, "No can do, we saw you exchange with your partner."
"Nice acting…" Kara
smiled, "But I'm better…"
Duo looked confused,
as Milliardo found the disk.
Kara slapped him,
"How dare you!" she whirled around and grabbed the disk from Milliardo.
Some people turned
to watch Kara yelling. Trowa came up behind her and grabbed her roughly, more
roughly than he'd like to, "Stop making a scene rebel," he whispered.
Kara looked at him,
and whispered back, "I don't think so, sorry Trowa."
Some people frowned
at the way the taller boy grabbed her, but that's what Kara wanted.
"I can't believe
you!" she yelled, "Both of you!" she pulled her arm away from Trowa, "I wanted
to believe that you were my friends! Stay away from me! Now!"
More people stopped
to watch, Duo noticed how Kara's yelling was grabbing a lot of attention. His
first reaction was to probably grab her, but seeing the amount of people,
that's probably what Kara wanted.
"Stay away from me,
you hear?" Kara growled, before running off into the crowd.
Duo whispered to
Trowa, "That was hell of an act, though I wish she wouldn't slap me that hard.
No one gonna be able to catch her now."
"Maybe… she knew
what she was doing," Trowa nodded.
Kara grinned as she
slammed to door shut to her room, Miroki was already there waiting. The girls
gave each other high fives.
"That was quite an
act Kara," Miroki grinned.
Kara smiled, "And
you caught on, I can't believe that worked."
"Man, so now that we
have some spare time, what about our little list?" Miroki asked changing the
subject.
Kara pretended to
think, "Of course, Duo, no prob, Heero and Wufei will need a little
convincing."
Miroki grinned, thinking
to herself, "They won't be the only ones, if I remember correctly, Trowa still
owns me a favor from my birthday…"
~The Next Day~
Everything was like
it was a normal school day. Only the girls were already up to their plans.
Miroki knew just where to find Trowa, of course, she knew her best friend would
throw a hiss fit if she found out.
Miroki leaned
against the next locked, "Morning Trowa."
Trowa nodded, "You
do, nice work on the mock mission yesterday."
"Yea, anyways… Trowa
remember what you told me on my birthday?"
"Yea, that Quatre
was going to take you out for tea," Trowa frowned; he couldn't understand why
Miroki was bringing that up.
She pulled out a
black book, "It says here, that Trowa Barton, as of Decemember 1st
owns Miroki (me) one favor, which can be used at anytime."
Trowa blinked.
"That was my
birthday present remember?" she asked sweetly, too sweetly.
Then it clicked, and
Trowa remembered, he nodded.
Miroki stood up
straight, "Trowa, now I need you to do me that favor."
Trowa was now really
frowning, "And that would be…"
"Nothing would make
me happier than to thank my best friend for everything she has done."
"Get to the point."
Miroki's grinned got
wider by the second; "I want you to play Secret Valentine to Kara!"
Trowa's masked dropped,
"I can't…"
"Come on! You said
you owed me a favor!"
"I wouldn't know…"
Miroki pouted, "Kara
has never had a Secret Valentine, and the girl is so serious! This would be
great for her."
"………"
"For Kara Trowa,
please?"
"Okay."
"Thank you! She'll
love this, uh… here," Miroki handed Trowa keys and a piece of paper.
"What are these?"
"Key to Kara's room
and her locker combination."
"………………………"
Meanwhile, somewhere
else in the school, Duo had just signed up, with the help of Kara for the
Secret Valentine. Of course, the lucky lady didn't live or even go to the
school. It didn't take a genius to figure out who was the lady.
"Hilde is going to
be so surprised…" Kara smiled thoughtfully.
"Kara!"
Kara turned around
to see Quatre running up to her, "Hey, Quatre! What's up?"
"I heard that people
are signing up for Secret Valentine, I was wondering if I could too," he
explained.
"Sure, who's the
lucky lady?" Kara asked holding up a clipboard and pen.
Quatre smiled, "The
lady is a fellow comrade of yours."
Kara grinned,
"Miroki Sekkio it is then."
"Thanks Kara, are
you going to sign up?"
Kara shook her head,
"Nah, I don't do this kind of thing, and I don't expect anyone to chose me
neither. I just play cupid."
"Maybe this year
will be different," Quatre suggested.
"Don't think so…"
Author's Note:
Yea!!! I'm done this one; you can guess now what's going to happen. Also if you
noticed, because the fanfiction site is allowing chapters, and they must be
together, so you no longer have to search everywhere for them!
Thank you to Female
Mewtwo, all her help, her character Miroki Sekkio, and her support. The black
book thing is her idea, and we'll be seeing it again. Poor, poor G-boys.
So… what do you think?
Like the mock mission? There's be more and a real mission of course. Of course
this time, we'll be looking into more on the relationships, if they ever get
off the ground. Next time on Wing School!
