And here we go with the next chappy also in the beginning of this I may
sound a bit hostile cause I just finished fighting with my sister who I am
so desperately mad at about now. So lets get started ramblings at the end.

I awoke the next morning I found the Gundam pilots had gone to the coordinates I had given them. The Drs were still here though but I knew that the Maganacs would make sure they didn't bother me. I rubbed my eyes as I opened them. The sun was already fully up and its bright morning rays shown through the windows feeling warm on my cheeks and face. I stood up and went into my room. I changed into a workout outfit and went to the basement of Quatre's home. The basement was a gym. Some of the Maganacs were working out. I walked over to a kicking bag and stood back into a fighting position.
I began to say the moves as I did them in my head. I would punch left- handed punch right handed and swing a round house with my right to where the ribs of a person would be. I began to do these again and again getting stronger kicks each time. Left right right, left right right, left right right, left right right. After a while I switched and did the exact opposite repeating everything in my head as I did it. I began to break out into a sweat. I saw out of the corner of my eyes the Drs walked in with some of Wufei's old sparing partners for when he got back and for me to train with because as Dr. J had said and thinks I am loosing my touch.
The scientist that had trained Wufei walked over to me. "Keep your shoulders back so you stand up straight you'll fight better" he said. "No." Was all I said continuing my pattern. "You should." He said. I stopped and turned to him wiping the sweat from my forehead with my arm. "Listen it's hard for me to stand straight so just shut up this is why I liked having a normal life no sensei's who couldn't understand some people can't do certain things standing straight." I spoke harshly. "If your so confident you should fight one of my students" when he said this all his students walked up in a line beside him. "I think I'll pass" I said. "No you won't" he said. I rolled my eyes I was not in the mood for this. I did a flip over them and walked to my room. I grabbed my duffel bag and stuffed everything in there.
I walked into the living room and picked up the phone. I called Meg. I knew it was the middle of the day and it was Wednesday and she would be in school but I called anyways. When the answering machine came on I spoke. "Hey Meg its me Lori, I bet you miss me in school or as I call it prison, I just called to let you know I actually miss Stafford and am going to be back in school tomorrow, oh yeah for our county track meet. Anyways I'll see you tomorrow ok? Byes and lylas" I said and hung up. I picked the phone up again this time I called Jessica to leave a message. "Hey Jessie was up girl? Listen I bet you have missed me I'm sorry I missed the 8th grade formal and didn't get to go I'll make it up to you. I'm going to be back in school tomorrow so I'll see you at our last track meet alrighty bye" I hung up knowing certain people were listening out side the door.
I picked the phone up one last call. "Hey Corey bet your just having a joyous time at school aren't you? Probably hyper as always well I just called to say hey and I'm going to be back in school tomorrow so you wait for me k well listen I got to go I will be sure to talk to you before our big track meet tomorrow K? Byes" I hung up with a sigh. "You know we agreed no personal phone calls" said Wufei the Drs recruits Wufei's training partners and the pilots were all standing there. "I don't care I'm leaving I'm going back to a normal life where I still have good friends to trust. Plus I have a track meet the county track meet to go to. I have to throw discuss and run the 400. I already missed the 8th grade formal and my one friend is about to move so I have to get back." I said. "You can't go anywhere it's the middle of a war" said Duo lightly. "Guess what I don't care Stafford is still a normal place and hasn't been affected much by the war and I'm going home." I said and as I picked up my duffel bag a faint click was heard as I looked up to see Heero's gun pointed at my head.
"I'm not scared of your gun you should know that by now Heero." I said, "Listen you don't know me that much anymore I have to get back to Stafford. I have some things to take care of." "What could be more important then a war" asked one of Wufei's training partners. "Friends, and track, and a life. I doubt you could understand. I have a county track meet that I have to be in tomorrow I have a discuss awaiting me and a track to run. I plan to be there with my friends and I plan to win." I said. "That's not very important" said Wufei. "It is to me." I said and turned to use the window to leave. "Don't make me shoot Lauren." Said Heero.
I dropped my bag and whipped around. "Never call me by my real name not even my best friends at home call me bye that anymore you can call me cat woman Lori Lorim or a bunch of other names but not Lauren." I said harshly he knew better then to call me by that name. I picked up my bag and opened the window I heard a shot ring through my ear as I jumped out the window, barely, not getting hit. I landed on the soft grass that seemed so hard and began to sprint, which felt good to me. I ran until I had trouble breathing and then walked. I hitchhiked back to Stafford. I then got close to my school. I went to a small nearby gas station (which isn't really there but will be in the near future so for the sake of my fic its there) I went into the bathroom and changed into a dress I used a mirror to do my hair and slipped on my sandals and walked to school. I signed in and went to class. I missed all but reading class and when I walked in everyone was amazed to see me and especially in a dress.
I didn't know it but the Gundam pilots were spying on me trying to figure out what the big deal about my friends was. They day wore on and finally track was dismissed to the locker rooms. Me and Corey and Meg and Jessie all stood together I getting hugs they were happy I was back. We walked through out the locker rooms cheering saying we were gonna win this county meet! We were all hyper and excited one of our coaches walked in and was happy to see us excited about the meet. We all ran down to the tracks and ran our two laps did our warm ups and waited. I looked around as we waited so many people watching so many parents that I didn't have it almost made me sad but I snapped out of it because the field events were called we all split up. I through discuss and came in second I couldn't have been happier. When girls' shot put was finally called I went over. Somehow I made it on the list. I threw and came in first.
We ran down to the team area and everyone of the team members even ones I didn't care for were happy. Then they called the 400-meter runners. Oh god I thought nervously. When it came time to run we all sat at the starting line. The shot of the gun rang and we all ran. I didn't care about my breathing problems. I hung around in the middle of the group and as we came around the last curve I sprinted. Passing people one by one. I saw the finish line just a 100-meters I gave it my all despite the dizziness and being light headed. I came in first. Everyone was cheering for me. I walked out over off of the track and began to walk to the team area. Next thing I knew I was sitting on the ground I had collapsed but not passed out. I was glad my friends were right beside me. Everyone's voices became distant. I was breathing hard. Someone handed me my water and one of the coaches I think coach Barr began to help me walk up to the gym. I got up to the gym and sat on the floor cool air so good. Coach Barr went to get some help as I slowly brought my water to my lips and drank barely being able to breathe.
Coach Barr came back with Coach Reed and they decided to just let me rest. They knew about my breathing problems. Since my friend Corey (who yes is a girl) didn't have any more events they let her come up and sit with me to keep and eye on me. After a while I was ok and we went back outside.
We watched the rest of the meet and we won we all cheered running back inside our own school cheering and running through the gym yelling and screaming after we got dressed. The coaches finally got us out the door around 7:30 and said no practice tomorrow cause we deserved it. That made us even happier. I walked out to my motorcycle and slipped on my sweat pants and a sweatshirt cause after all our track uniforms are really skimpy (swear to god they are sssooo skimpy). I decided to go back to the Gundam pilots I had no better place to be but I had to be at our county meet.
I rode to the Winner estates parked and knocked on the front door soon enough Quatre appeared and instead of greeting me this is what I got. "What do you want you're no longer welcome here" they were mad because they think I didn't care about them anymore but I did but my anger flared. "Fine if that's the way you want it that's fine with me!" and with that I got on my bike and drove off.
A few days later I was in my room hitting my punching bag with the door bell rang I answered it to see the g-boys and Xamick standing there laving the door open I walked back to my room they came upstairs as I began to take my anger out on the bag my eyes were blood shot from being upset. "What's wrong Lorim you don't normally get this upset:" said Xamick. "How could you understand" I said and stopped punching and just sat there on the ground ready shove my fist into the bag again. "Come on you can tell me what's wrong you know you can" she said, "I hate doctors they don't know what's wrong with me Xamick now they say its not my heart now there saying run and exercise for another month and if I still have these problems they said to come back and they would run more tests, I'm sick of tests and doctors" I said. "I'm sorry I know how you hate having problems but it can't be helped" she said she wasn't helping she was making matters worse. "Just shut up" I said and left the room. I walked out the front door and got onto the boat parked in my driveway I went down into the cabin no one would think to check there for me.
What couldn't anyone understand me anymore? I went into a small piece of the cabin which was a bed hidden by a curtain. I crawled into it shut the curtain and fell asleep. I awoke a bit later to someone shaking my gently. "Lorim wake up its 11Am its not like you to sleep in please wake up" said a female voice but I was so tired I didn't know who it was. "wha?" I said. "good your awake said Heero. I opened my eyes and rubbed them awake. "Why can't you guys let me sleep I'm really tired" I said. "Well for one its 11Am and for 2 we've been searching for you all night and we finally found you and you looked really pale are you feeling ok?" Said Quatre in his usual kind voice. "I feel tired" I said still laying down.
Xamick spoke again "Oi Lorim I don't see how you could sleep out here all night" at this I jumped up "You said the O word now you must pay!" I said she knew I got annoyed with the word just because she used it so many times. She ran off the boat and I followed her. I chased her down the street until I had no breath and started to walk back Xamick followed me, and neither of us had the energy to play cat and mouse anymore.
We walked to the garage with the pilots my face had gone pale and I looked tired and I was. "Lorim what happened to your arm?" asked Xamick pointing to a gauze wrapped around my arm that I didn't want her to see. "I just got shot no big deal and there was some poison in it but I'll be fine" I said. "Whatever" said Xamick. At that moment Dr. J and Dr. O showed up and called Xamick and the pilots to go. I turned to walk inside and I heard Dr. j and Xamick fighting. "I'm not going to leave Lorim she's not well" said Xamick I turned back to her "Xamick go I'll be fine don't screw what you have up I'm amued to this poison I'll be fine." I said and she gave into us and they all left.
A couple of days later Xamick came back with the pilots and the Drs and a few other people. They pulled into my driveway in two different vehicles and I didn't even notice. They got out of the cars and stood below me. "Your awfully happy" said Xamick. "Well duh it is Memorial Day weekend" I said happily acting like the always-cheerful Duo. "And" said Xamick. "And I am going to my uncles fishing boating shooting, shooting, and fishing and oh yeah did I mention boating and shooting" I smiled. Xamick rolled her eyes and I smiled and went back to work.
"You don't get it a bunch of my friends are going with me to 3 days 3 nights on the river it's a dream come true for me" I said. I went back to working I don't think they understood why I was so happy. "We were wondering if we could stay the night" Trowa. I shrugged "just beware I am going to go to sleep at 12 and get up at 3 because I'm leaving tomorrow." I said. "Whatever" said Xamick and they went inside leaving me to my work.

Ok so what did u think? I am debating on adding a bit of romance or not. Let me know if u think I should add romance or not see if I use it, it will also be to get Xamick back! Well not really but yeah got a little hyper there. Anyways let me know so I can start the next chappy.
