One Sweet Day-Chapter Three: the Beginning-
Ozzie Wright was standing outside the room, and was the first to greet the girls.
"Well? How'd it go?" he inquired as he and the girls walked towards the exit of the warehouse, the pilots trailing behind.
Merian sighed, tiredly. "Don't ask…" she mumbled.
"It was horrible…" Dorothy told him, taking his arm into her own and leaning her head on his shoulder. She looked extremely stressed, Ozzie noted.
Ozzie looked at his girls sympathetically. "That bad, huh?"
"Let's just put it this way, Ozzie…" Catherine began.
"All hell was about to break loose. You're lucky that you weren't in there to see it," Hilde finished for her brunette friend.
"And it's only the beginning…" Relena added.
"The worst thing is?" Dorothy murmured.
"They're gonna have to live with us for the next two weeks and we have to work for them for this new mission, which just might last 1-3 months," Catherine told Ozzie.
He winced. "Ouch…harsh…"
"We know…" the girls remarked as they exited the building.
Once the group reached their blue corvette, they turned to the Gundam pilots.
"You five got wheels? Cuz we ain't gonna give you a ride," Hilde called out to them.
"There's not enough room in our car," Catherine explained, briefly.
None of the pilots said anything in return, just walked to their own black convertible, started up their car, and waited for the girls to get ready to go.
"Well, I guess that answers our question, doesn't it?" Relena pointed out.
Once the girls were settled, Dorothy at the wheel (as usual), Merian offered Ozzie, "You wanna come with us? We'll give you a lift."
"I thought you didn't have enough room in your car?" Ozzie said, slyly.
Catherine grinned. "No worries…we'll make room for you. We can fit one more in…"
But Ozzie shook his head. "I gotta work some more hours…I might drop by at your place tonight, though. You know, just to see how my Angels are holding up, and if they're behaving accordingly," he told them with a smile.
The girls couldn't help but smile back.
"'Kay, Ozzie, we'll be seeing ya!" Merian called out, blowing him a kiss, as Dorothy pulled out of their parking.
"Bye!!!" the rest of the girls called out.
Ozzie waved them off, the Gundam pilots' car following after them. Once they were out of sight, he murmured, "Good luck, my Angels…"
~*~
"The Council is doing this on purpose, you know…" Merian muttered in the front seat, next to Dorothy. It was clear that all five girls' minds were still lingering on the meeting.
"Not The Council—Bruno," Catherine specified.
"Too true…it was obvious that the bloody asshole was enjoying the whole damn thing," Relena agreed, looking over the papers in the folder.
"Hey, let's get something to eat, Dee…" Hilde said, trying to change the subject.
"Sure thing…" Dorothy replied, turning at a corner.
Relena glanced at the rear-view mirror; she could see the pilots' black convertible following closely behind them. Sighing, she muttered, "Lord help us..."
~*~
Note: the following scene is a rip-off from Charlie's Angels…sorry, but I couldn't resist! XP …it's also pretty irrelevant, but this was just for fun
They drove into the drive-in of Big Burger, only to find the fast food's message thingy [A/N sorry—I forgot what you call it. It's that thing where you first order your food when you're in a drive-in?] booming with static, and you couldn't hear a word of what the employee was asking.
Annoyed, Merian turned around in her seat and asked Catherine for her gum that she was chewing. Confused, Catherine took out her gum and handed it to her, nonetheless.
Like I said, the five were like sisters, so it wasn't much of a big deal that Catherine handed Merian her gum. It wasn't like Merian actually put it in her mouth.
Instead she leaned over the driver's seat, making Dorothy lean back, popped open the opening to the power system, and made a few adjustments to the structure, holding it with gum, and slammed the flap closed.
Immediately, the voice from the other line could be heard perfectly.
"A job well done, Merian…" Catherine complimented, as her friend sat back down.
"As always," Merian said, with a smirk.
"Welcome to Big Burger, may I take your order."
"Yes you may!" Hilde told him. "I'd like 5 cheeseburgers, with a side of French fries each, and 5 drinks: one iced tea, two sprites, one Pepsi, and one coke. Oh, and lots and lots of ketchup…don't be too cheap either, I want thick slices of cheese on my burgers." Then she turned to the others, jokingly saying, "So what do you guys want?"
Relena, Dorothy, Catherine, and Merian grinned in return.
Dorothy slowly drove to the next window. The teenage boy who was working began to gawk at the five of them, mouth hanging open.
"Excuse me?" Dorothy spoke snapping the boy into reality. "If you're quite done gawking at us, we'd like to know…"
"How much the meal's gonna cost," Hilde finished for her.
"T-twe-twelve, seventy-five…" the young boy managed to sputter out.
Hilde turned to Relena and Catherine. "You got cash, babe?"
Relena did. She took out 20 dollars from inside her bra.
"Thanks…" Hilde said, handing the guy his money, and taking the food. Dorothy immediately drove off, having Hilde calling out to the hamburger boy, "Keep the change!!"
~*~
"So what floor is your apartment room at?" Duo inquired as the girls and the other guys stepped into the elevator.
Hilde glanced at him, but did not answer. Instead, she herself pushed the floor they were supposed to go up to.
Up to the third floor.
The elevator was quiet as they reached to their floor, except when a cute passerby came into the T.D.A's view on the second floor.
Hilde had done a double take, and poked her head outside the elevator doors, calling out to the guy, "Hey, sexy papi! Nice ass you got there! Are ya single or what?!"
Merian had been the one who pulled Hilde back just as the elevator doors began to close on Hilde's head. The Chinese beauty shot her Spanish friend a scolding look, and Hilde, in return, just grinned innocently.
Catherine and Dorothy glanced at Hilde, then at each other and began to giggle, whereas Relena just shook her head, a small smile on her lips, as she murmured to Hilde, "You're crazy, Hil…"
"I know, chica…me muy loco—and damn proud of it, too!!" the shorthaired 20-year old cried out, smugly.
The boys didn't say anything—they knew better than to comment.
Seconds later, they reached the third floor.
~*~
"Well, this is our home, muchachos…" Hilde said as all 10 of them entered the Angels' home. "I wish I could say mi casa, su casa, but to be honest…"
"We don't want you here," Merian finished for her friend.
By now, the Gundam boys were obviously really, really, ticked off at the way they were being treated.
Duo was the first to say something, "Listen, I don't know what the hell you girls' problem is, cuz the way I see it, we should be the ones mad at you! Just what the hell are you all mad at anyway? It's not like we're the ones that left!!"
Immediately, Relena's expression softened. "It's a very complicated story, Duo…we all have our reasons. We're just not used to any of your presence back in our lives. We apologize for acting unreasonable and rude, but please just…" Relena stopped, looking at her friends and back at the pilots. "Give us time…"
Quatre nodded. "We understand that, Miss Relena, but we can't help but have some questions ourselves…we'd like to know…just, why? And…how?"
"You'll all find out soon enough, Mister Winner," Dorothy spoke. "In due time…like Relena said, give us some space…this is not any easier for us than it is for any of you, I'm sure."
But Wufei didn't feel like waiting any longer. He blurted out to Merian in a flat voice, "You're supposed to be dead."
Merian's heart froze and she could feel it starting to crack like ice often does, whenever hot water clashed with its surface. That's how Merian felt. Angered by the tone of his voice but also hurt by his words, freezing her heart.
She recovered quickly and looked at her husband, no ex-husband, with piercing, dark, amber eyes. "But I'm not am I, Wufei? I'm very much alive." She couldn't help but add, bitterly, "Disappointed?"
Merian could've sworn Wufei's cheeks turn slightly pink, and he was about to say something, but Hilde didn't let even let him utter a word.
"The cheeseburgers are getting cold. Are any of you gonna eat it or will I have to stuff it all down?" Sure enough, the spunky dark-eyed 20-year old sat herself on one of the seats near the kitchen counter and began to unpack their fries and other food.
Hilde began to eat already, gulping down a bite of her cheeseburger, about 4 french-fries, and a large sip of her coke all at once.
Merian gave her friend a look of disgust. "How can you eat like that?"
Hilde took another sip of her drink and shrugged. "Dunno…but I guess you sorta form a habit when you eat your meals nearly everyday with your primos [boy cousins]…they don't really care much 'bout manners, ya know."
Merian shook her head as she, Dorothy, and Relena took their seat on the kitchen counter. Catherine smiled, both sadly and happily. The conversation reminded her of her little brother, Theo…
~Flashback~
10-year old Catherine watched as her brother began to hungrily stuff himself with food, without any shame.
She shook her head, and laughed with a mixture of happiness and disgust. "Slow down, little brother. You just might kill yourself that way…one bite at a time, chew, and then swallow!"
Theo stopped eating for a moment, looking up to see his sister. Mouth full, he sputtered out, "But… I'm hungry…"
Catherine laughed again, saying, "I can tell!!"
~End Flashback~
"Cathy?" Catherine heard her blonde friend Dorothy asked in worry. The others were looking at her to, obviously concerned with her dazed look. "You okay?" Dorothy pressed on.
Catherine brushed them off, assuring them, "I'm alright, just had a weird thought cross my mind…"
The other Angels stared at her, nodding with understanding. Normally, they would've asked what the "thought" was about, but with the pilots there, they knew they couldn't—Cathy wouldn't answer in front of them.
Meanwhile, Duo had reached out to get a french-fry from Relena, when Hilde noticed what he was doing, and slapped his hand away.
"Dude, get your own food…don't steal from people!" Hilde told him, frowning slightly.
"Well, if you happened to think about me while you got the food, I wouldn't have to steal! I'm really hungry, ok?" Duo whined. He winked. "You know what food does to me, Hilde…"
Hilde rolled her eyes, while Relena giggled. "You want it that much? Here, Duo, feel free to take it all."
Duo's face brightened, taking the french-fries and then scurrying off. "Thanks 'Jousan!!" The American pilot exclaimed, using Relena's old nickname.
Hilde shot her friend a look. "Relena!! Why'd you give him that satisfaction?" she whispered hoarsely.
Relena just laughed in return.
~*~
Hours passed, with little or no conversation exchanged between the two sexes.
The girls sat in one place, either the kitchen counter conversing quietly, or in their master bedroom, while the boys stayed in either the living room or the "work room" where the computers and all the files were kept.
It was decided that the pilots would sleep in the living room. The couch was able to turn into a bed where two to three people could sleep in, and the rest of the G-Wing boys would sleep on the floor in the sleeping bags the girls had provided.
~*~
By around 6 o'clock, the girls entered their kitchen, about to start making dinner.
"Hmm…what should we cook for dinner tonight?" Dorothy pondered, aloud, her eyes roaming the fridge.
"Cook dinner? There's no need for that, girls, I assure you," a voice answered.
Everyone turned towards the new voice and found the Infamous Ozzie Wright just entering the Angels' apartment, his hands carrying 3 boxes of pizza. [A/N Ozzie had keys to their apartment, aiight? That's how he got in]
The girls grinned at his arrival and walked over.
Hilde was the first to go to him. Her face brightened at the sight of pizza. "Hey Ozzie Bear…it's great that you could come! It's real nice of you to bring over pizza, too."
"No problem, chica…" Ozzie said, grinning. "Sorry, but I had no time to buy any beer."
Hilde laughed at his comment, as she took the pizza away from his hands and walked over to the kitchen table to put it down.
Merian was next to greet him, kissing him lightly on the cheek, and hugged him quietly saying a small "Hi…" Relena, Dorothy, and Catherine did the same.
And the guys felt stabs of jealousy in the heart as they watched them.
Soon afterwards, Ozzie finally acknowledged the other guys. He nodded at them, simply saying a "Hey…"
Although, Hilde had cried out before Ozzie and the other guys could put in another word.
"Ohmigosh, Ozzie!! This pizza's the best! Muchas gracias y amor to you, man…" [A/N translation: Much thanks and love to you]
Ozzie grinned, in mock arrogance. "I know, I know…I do make the best pizza…please, no applause necessary, just money will do."
The girls laughed.
Merian rolled her eyes, after her own laughter subsided. "Yeah…considering it is take-out. Hm…Pizza Hut, eh? Is that your new job and profession?"
"Hey!" Ozzie said, in defense of himself. "It's not take-out…it's Digornio!" he told her, imitating the Italian man from the Digiorno commercials.
The girls burst into laughter again.
"Uh-huh…so how do you explain the Pizza Hut boxes the pizza's in then, Ozzie?" Catherine questioned.
"…I had no other place to put it?" Ozzie told her, in somewhat meek voice.
Hilde laughed. "Wonderful comeback, Ozzie, wonderful…"
Ozzie smiled the same arrogant smile he had before. "I know…"
Catherine sighed, putting a hand on Ozzie's right shoulder. "What would we do without you, Ozzie?"
Ozzie shrugged. "I'm not so sure…but I don't think any of you could bear your boring lives without me," he said with a playful grin.
"True…" Dorothy agreed, biting into her pizza.
"My gosh, would ya stop complimenting him? You're just feeding his ego that way…" Merian remarked.
Ozzie gave Merian a shocked look. "Why do you wound me so, my beautiful dragon-lady?"
Hilde scoffed at his comment. "Beautiful? Ozzie, baby, I think you need glasses…cuz the way I see it, Merian's not what I'd call 'beautiful'."
Hilde meant it as a small joke, but Merian didn't find it at all amusing. She shot Hilde an angry glare. "Shuddup…go look in the mirror, bitch, cuz the only ugly face in here is yours,"" the raven-haired beauty told her friend in Mandarin.
The other four Angels, along with Wufei and Ozzie understood every word. Wufei knew hat she said because he was—duh—of the heritage as Merian and grew up learning the same language, as Merian did.
The other four pilots only understood portions of Merian's sentence.
Ozzie, Relena, Dorothy, Catherine, and Hilde knew Merian what she said, because during the past years, each had taught the other how to speak fluently in each others' language: Spanish, German, Russian, French, and Mandarin.
Hilde had stiffened at Merian's statement. She returned Merian's glare with the same hard determination in her eyes. She was about to open her mouth to make a bitter retort, when Relena jumped in.
"Stop," she said in a stern, firm, voice.
Merian and Hilde turned to Relena and then back at each other, but neither said anymore about the subject. Relena was like the big sister of the group, she and Catherine were. She was also the peacemaker—well, usually…which was logical seeing that she was Relena Darlian, after all.
Ozzie turned to the pilots, who were actually still in the living room, staring at them. "Hey you five…you hungry?" Ozzie asked them, holding up a pizza slice.
The guys glanced each other, then got up and walked over, in silent agreement.
"Hey Hilde, save some for us, won't ya? Just how many slices have you had so far?" Duo inquired.
"Three," Hilde answered, indifferently. "This one's my third…"
Catherine chuckled. "That's nothing…I remember one time, Hilde was practically dying of hunger and she ate 1 whole large pizza by herself, with the side orders of breadsticks, half a liter of coke, and actually had some room left over for some ice cream, too…"
Hilde grinned at the memory. "Yeah…that was one of the
best meals I've ever had…"
"It's amazing you don't gain weight, Hil…" Ozzie remarked.
"I know…I've got high metabolism. Lucky me."
"Oh snap!" Ozzie exclaimed, realization hitting him.
"What?" the girls asked in unison.
Ozzie turned to the guys who were standing nearby. "I don't think we've been properly introduced yet…" The ever-so-friendly Ozzie Wright outstretched his hand. "The name's Oscar Wright aka Ozzie…what're yours?"
Quatre was the first to take Ozzie's hand. "Quatre Raberba Winner…pleased to make your acquaintance."
"Same here…" Ozzie said, nodding. He glanced to the other pilots, who had not said a thing. "And them…?" he inquired.
"Don't mind them Ozzie Bear, the others, excluding Duo, are the strong, silent types…" Merian explained. "Well, except maybe Wufei, too—he likes to rant and rave 'bout a lotta things," Merian also added.
Wufei shot her a glare, to which Merian smiled at, tauntingly.
"The dude who's wearing a frown is Heero Yuy," Hilde informed Ozzie.
"And the guy with his hair cascading at the side of his face is Trowa Barton," Dorothy pointed out.
"And you've already guessed that the one that looks Chinese, is, duh—" Relena began.
"Chang Wufei," Ozzie finished for her.
"Yep…" the girls confirmed, nodding.
"And I'm Duo Maxwell. I may run and hide but I never tell a lie," Duo stated, boastfully.
Ozzie smiled at them, "It's nice to meet you all…" Then Ozzie turned to his girls, whispering, "You've got one thing right…they are cute."
The guys turned slightly pink as the girls laughed aloud, and Hilde half-choking on her pizza slice and half-laughing.
"So, ladies, what's the new assignment about?" Ozzie asked, after some time.
The pilots stopped doing whatever they were doing and looked up, glancing at him cautiously and at each other hesitantly.
But Hilde didn't hesitate—none of the girls did. They trusted Ozzie enough to tell him things, secrets that they didn't think twice about not telling.
"Oh, you know, the usual…we have to teach the bad guys who want to take over the world a lesson," the young Spanish female informed Ozzie.
Relena sighed. "They never learn—ever. You'd think they'd have enough sense to learn from the past mistakes seen firsthand."
Dorothy shrugged. "Some choose not to accept defeat, I suppose."
"Too true…" Catherine agreed, sipping her sprite.
Ozzie nodded, acknowledging all that was being said. "So what's first on the list in the process of finishing off these baddies?"
Relena took out her folder and handed it to Ozzie. She pointed to the paper on top, the paper that Ozzie was now holding. "Ed Norman…our first victim. Tomorrow we meet the young man at the club and try to extract as much information from him about The Skulls as much as possible."
Ozzie smirked, his eyes roaming his profile. "Oh, what fun!" Then he glanced up at his girls. "So who's gonna pursue this Ed guy?"
Relena turned to Merian who instantly noticed Relena's gaze. "Hnnh, why?" the Chinese female inquired, her eyes widening. "You all know that I'm not the best person for this type of…maneuver!"
Relena sighed lightly and shook her head. "I'm sorry, Em, but you are the best candidate for this. According to Norman's profile, he has a great—and I mean great—liking—"
"Lust," Catherine specified.
"…For Asian women," Relena said, finishing.
Merian frowned, and leaned over to Ozzie to see the profile. She muttered something like, "Damn perverts…" then sighed, massaging her forehead. "I didn't know being a whore was part of this job," she remarked aloud.
"It's not," Dorothy stated, firmly. "But doing whatever helps us accomplish the mission is."
Merian didn't say anything in return. She knew her blonde friend was right.
Hilde patted her Asian friend on the back. "Don't worry, Em…it won't be so bad…I mean, the most you'll have to do is dirty dance with him a little, and maybe kiss him—with, or without tongue—and the worst you'll might have to give him is a HJ [[hand job]]. It's not like you're gonna sleep with him or anything. And anyways, he's not that bad looking."
Merian shifted her gaze to her usually, very loud, friend. "Nice try, Hil…real nice."
"No problema, mi amiga," Hilde told her, grinning.
Just then, Quatre cleared his throat and all attention was turned to him. "I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm completely understanding the situation at hand…just what are you planning on doing to get the needed info from Ed Norman? Get him drunk when you meet him tomorrow?"
"No…" Hilde answered, slowly.
"Although, it is a good idea…" Catherine murmured.
Merian's face brightened. "Yeah! Can't we do that instead?"
Relena shook her head. "No," the honey blonde answered, firmly.
"Why not?" Merian asked, face fallen.
"One: The maneuver has never failed us before. It's best to just stick with it. Two: We're all very accustomed to the particular procedure, and the drinking idea, we've never done before, so we don't know just how well it will go. And three: the man just might pass out or vomit before we can even get a word out of him, his tolerance for alcohol might not be so high," Relena explained.
Merian nodded, though disappointment was clear on her face. "Point taken…"
"So what's your plan, then?" Heero questioned. The sound of his voice shocked Relena at first. He hadn't said a word since they saw each other at the warehouse—the most she heard from him was a grunt.
"Well, Mr. Yuy…the strategy is quite simple. Keep in mind, sex, desire, and temptation can be three very powerful, and useful, things…" Dorothy explained.
"Basically, we seduce the guy(s) that have the information we want, just long enough to get what we need," Hilde explained, simplistically. "It's actually quite fun, sometimes," she added. And when she received disbelieving looks, she told them all, "And you know it's true…"
Quickly, the other Angels roamed their eyes elsewhere, none of them saying anything back at Hilde's comment.
Catherine went on. "So now all Merian has to do tomorrow is flaunt herself to the guy, which should distract him from noticing what she's taking from his pockets, and/or what particular info he's giving out to her. And of course, being women, we have an advantage."
"Hmmm…" Dorothy pondered aloud. "Are you sure he's not gay, Ozzie?"
"Good question…" Ozzie noted, going over the profile once more. "Nope…heterosexual--definitely straight."
And Merian muttered, "Damn!"
Wufei then suddenly asked, "So Merian has to give herself to the enemy?"
Relena laughed lightly. "Yes, Wufei, she must. Various males have various likings. Ed Norman might not be as willing as to pass out information to the rest of us, because we might be unable to arouse his interest—"
"His horniness," Hilde intruded for a moment.
"…And according to this, Mr. Norman has a fetish for young Asian women, hence Merian being the best person for the job." Dorothy continued on, smiling slyly. "Why so concerned, Wufei? Jealous, are you?"
To that Wufei snorted, and looked away, although a pinkish color stained his cheeks.
"So, dear guests, tell us about yourselves," Ozzie brought up, once all the pizza was finished and all eleven of them sat lounging about in the kitchen, chatting.
The pilots exchanged glances. "What do you wanna know?" Duo said, cautiously.
Hilde raised an eyebrow. "Paranoid, much?"
"I assure you, Duo, you have no reason to be suspicious of Ozzie," Relena stated.
The pilots gave the girls skeptical looks. To that, Catherine said, "Don't you trust our judgments?" And when silence was her only response, she muttered, "Never mind…I already know the answer."
Ozzie could sense the tension building, so he asked, "So…are you pilots single?"
Immediately the five young men's gazes jerked towards Ozzie. The girls smirked and bit back giggles at their sudden reaction.
When the pilots did not answer, Ozzie pressed on further, "Well? It's a simple question: yes or no. And go into detail, a little. Or maybe…none of you know if you're single or not?"
Wufei opened his mouth to retort, 'That's none of your business, so don't ask,' but Dorothy cut in.
"We can answer for them…" the blonde haired female remarked. The Angels studied the pilots. "None of them are single," the five stated, casually.
"Heero Yuy…" Catherine began. "Going out with Sylvia Noventa for about a year now. Not that intense, their relationship, although they have their moments here and there. She really doesn't know much about Yuy, he is still a mystery to her, arousing her in almost every sense."
"Duo Maxwell…" Merian announced. "Has a girlfriend named Laura Cummings…although, it's more of a sexual relationship than anything else. They fuck each other's brains out nearly every night when both are free." The Chinese descendent had a hint of disgust in her voice.
"Trowa Barton…" Dorothy stated. "About 7 months from now he and his girlfriend, Midii Une, will be celebrating their 4th year anniversary."
"Quatre Winner…" started Relena. "Is quite intimate with Jezebel DuBois…although she happens to be quite the flirt and slut. And she has a dangerous, jealous side, too. It is obvious she is rather spoiled."
"And finally, Chang Wufei…" Hilde proclaimed. "Has been with Preventer Agent Sally Po for the past…oh, I'd say 4 or 5 years. But their relationship goes very slowly—it took him about 2 years just to make out with the 24-year old."
Ozzie eyebrows shot up. "Hmm…older woman, eh?"
Dorothy chuckled. "You know what's even more amusing? She looks much older than she is."
"Oh snap! For real?" Ozzie asked, eyes widening.
Catherine nodded. "Yep…about 15 years older."
"Damn…" Ozzie murmured. He turned to Wufei. "She won't last very long, then, will she?"
The comment offended Wufei deeply, and his eyes flashed. He was about to pounce on Ozzie, but Merian stepped in. She stood in the way of Wufei's punch and shot him a dangerous look. Her hand gripped his shoulder firmly, threatening him not to take a step closer. "You will not hurt Ozzie Wright. Not as long as I'm alive. Back off, Chang."
And surprisingly, Wufei backed down, a frown held firmly on his face.
Merian continued to glare, until Ozzie touched her arm lightly. Her face softened as Ozzie said in a sincere voice, "It's alright, Em, it's my fault anyway for provoking him. I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry, Chang."
Wufei merely glanced toward his direction and grunted, looking away.
"There's one thing I'm sure we'd all like to know…" Trowa began.
"And what would that be?" Catherine said.
"How do you know these specific details of our personal life?" Heero questioned.
There was a pause. Then Hilde answered, "As you may have already guessed, Bruno is a sick, sick, sick bastard."
They all nodded.
"He sends us a package almost every month that explains everything from your daily routines and sex lives," Relena stated.
"Why do you choose to read it?" Quatre inquired.
Dorothy shrugged. "Sometimes the packages aren't about you, sometimes they're about a new assignment or the other people we left behind. We never know until we open it, and we end up reading the whole thing. Whether it be out of curiosity or it being something dealing with the actual mission, though Bruno would sometimes draw away from the main topic and mention a few things about you."
"He is a sick, sick, sick bastard," Merian repeated.
And they all nodded.
Ozzie glanced at his watch, reading 7:15 p.m. He looked up to see his girls staring at him.
"Planning on leaving so soon?" Dorothy inquired.
Ozzie nodded, getting up from his seat.
"Why though? You've only been here for an hour, baby," Hilde remarked.
"I'm sorry Angels, but I've got a date tonight."
Instantly, all ears perked up, and Merian asked bluntly, "Who?"
"Someone…" Ozzie answered, grinning secretively.
"Someone we know?" Catherine pressed on.
Ozzie shrugged. "Dunno…I doubt it, though. We met yesterday, and decided to meet up again tonight."
"And you failed to inform us of this before, because…?" Relena pointed out.
"Well, I wasn't able to contact any of you yesterday, and today, well…it slipped my mind, seeing all those stressed out expressions you five had after that meeting."
Merian nodded, giving Ozzie a hug. "Alright Ozzie, hope you have lots of fun tonight…"
"Yeah, I hope so too, China Doll," Ozzie teased, as they parted. The girls took turns bidding farewell to their Ozzie. Before he left, the ever so popular Wright turned and said, "I'll be back…tonight, like around 10:30 to tuck in my babes, aiight?"
The T.D.As grinned. "'Kay…if you can, bring your date over so we can meet, ok?" they pleaded with Ozzie.
Ozzie nodded. "I'll try…see you all later! Love you! Wa ai ni! Te amo! Je t'aime! Ich liebe dich! Ya tyebya lyublyu!" And he blew each girl a kiss, disappearing through the apartment door of the Angels.
The girls sighed, watching him leave. Then they walked to their living room, getting themselves comfortable.
"What are you girls tryna do now?" Duo asked.
"Friday night is usually date night. But we don't have any dates tonight. So times like these, we just watch a movie together as a small group of lonely biatches," Hilde explained.
"Oh," was all Duo could say.
"Wanna join us?" Catherine asked out of common courtesy.
The boys either shrugged, grunted, or nodded, sitting themselves down wherever a seat was available.
"So, what should we watch?" Dorothy asked her friends.
"It's Merian's turn to choose…" Relena noted.
"Okay…let's watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Fine with the rest of you?" Merian said.
"Sure thing, chica…" Hilde agreed, as did every other Angel. "Can't wait to see that fine, mustached, Chinese dude, half-naked, again!" the Spanish woman exclaimed as Dorothy put in the DVD.
Merian rolled her eyes, as Dorothy, Relena, and Catherine laughed.
