* Quatre's Mansion*

It had taken one day for Wufei to pack, move into Quatre's new house, unpack, and make school records.

The former pilots decided they were going to school together. Well, Quatre decided, but they agreed with it anyways.

They were going to attend a public high school, Juuban High. Wufei was a little upset he had to go to a school full of onnas. They started school tomorrow, how devastating!

Wufei went downstairs to see everyone in the living room. Quatre stood up, "Now that everyone's here, let's go to dinner," and they walked into the dining room.

"FOOD!" Duo yelled happily.

*Cherry Hill Temple*

The senshi, both inner and outer, were settled around the dining table of Rei's home. They stayed for dinner. Afterwards Rei's grandfather took Chad outside to train. Rei and Hotaru had called this meeting.

Minako spoke up, "Alright, we're alone. What's up Rei?" she asked in her ever so bubbly voice.

"Well..." Rei started, "I had a vision the other day, and it wasn't very pretty." This caught everyone's undivided attention, and they tuned into everything she was saying. "To get right to the point, I think Usa-chan's in trouble."

Usagi stopped cramming her mouth with desert and looked puzzled. 'But we defeated Chaos. What could be wrong?' she thought.

Haruka looked around at the worried and confused looks, "We don't know what the problem is, but to be safe, we should start looking out for each other more, and especially our hime." she stated, looking at Usagi.

'This isn't good.' Usagi thought, silently and stayed that way for the rest of the night.

*The next day*

Quatre somehow managed to set Duo's alarm clock an hour early, making Duo do a 10 minute record for getting ready.

Once he got downstairs, and into the kitchen he dropped his stuff, "HEY!" he yelled, "What time is it?"

"Ohayo Duo." Quatre greeted, "It's 8:30 a.m."

"Demo, it was 8:30 half an hour ago!!" Duo whined.

"Maybe you should set your alarm clock right, Maxwell." Wufei smirked. He loved these moments.

Duo= HUFF!!

*At school*

The pilots took a convertible to school. They proceeded to get out and walk into the seemingly friendly, and popular school. They had hacked into the school system and made all their classes together.

They walked into the office and waited for their sensei. About five minutes later, their sensei arrived and took them to their class.

Once they were in their class. Minna shut up.

The sensei started, "Please introduce yourselves."

Duo, of course, walked up first, "How you doing? I'm Duo Maxwell."
Then Quatre, " Good morning, I'm Quatre Rabarba Winner."
Next was Trowa, "Trowa Barton..."
"Chang, Wufei."
"Yuy, Heero."

They were seated near the back, until the principle walked in with a tall brunette. Duo recognized her to be the tenshi he bumped into the other day. Makoto!

"Excuse me, Funtashi sensei. I would like to take the new students and allow Kino-san to show them around. She was late yesterday and this is her punishment." he stated, trying his best to humiliate her. Duo could of just punched him in the face, but restrained himself.

So the boys walked out the door and was greeted by Makoto. After the principle left, Makoto grumbled, "Baka, principle," and then she turned her attention towards the five new boys looking at her. The one in the middle looked familiar, 'Oh! Of course! It's Duo!' "Ohayo, Duo!" she said.

"Hey, Makoto, wazzup?"

"Lots of nothing, demo who are your friends?" she asked.

(AN: HERE WE GO AGAIN! 0_o)

Duo took in a deep breath, "Well, the one with the platinum blond hair is Quatre, the one with one eye is Trowa, the one with the glare is Heero, and the one with black hair is Wu-man."

"MAXWELL! I said stop calling me that!!" Wufei was getting more paranoid than before.

Makoto laughed, "duo-chan you're not making a good impression. We have to go look around now, so follow me." And they walked off.

*After School*

Makoto had spent the whole day showing the boys around and actually had a good time doing it. Duo insisted on walking Makoto home, when something clicked in her mind. Her friends?

"Oh, KUSO! I forgot, I was suppose to meet the girls at the arcade. You didn't get to meet them today because of the time I was showing you around." Makoto said.

"Well, why don't we meet them with you?" Duo suggested with a shrug, and a famous grin.

"That's a great idea!!"

*In the arcade- a few minutes before Mako-s scene*

Rei and Hotaru had been talking again after school so Rei invited Hotaru to go to the arcade with her.

They waited in the arcade for about fifteen minutes before Usagi, Minako, and Ami ran in. "Gomen-nasai for being late, but we're looking for Mako chan, and we couldn't find her." Minako stated.

Just then Makoto walked in, being escorted by a new guy from school that none of them had met. They were followed by four other boys. One boy, Rei immediately recognized. 'Hm. So these are Wufei's friends. How ironic, Makoto has befriended the one with the braid...' she thought.

~* Wufei's P.O.V. *~

'Gods!! I've gone soft haven't I?' Wufei thought to himself. 'Why are we following Maxwell and his onna?' he growled as they walked into the arcade.

Makoto and Duo led the rest to a group of girls, there were five of them. One of them in particular caught his eye, 'How is it, I keep meeting this mute onna?' he thought.

~*No one's P.O.V.*~

Makoto waved excitedly to the others. They walked over to the group, and sat down. Makoto started, "Moushi moushi. Hotaru-chan, you look great." and then she laughed. Only the girls knew what she meant.

"Hello Wufei- kun." Rei said. Everyone looked at Rei, and then Wufei and back at Rei.

Oh, of course Duo had to have this moment, "Wu-man you have a girlfriend you didn't tell me about?"

In unison, Rei and Wufei retorted,
"I'm not his girlfriend!!!"
"She's not my girlfriend!!!"
And they both blushed and looked away.

The rest just laughed it off, save Heero, Trowa and Hotaru.

Usagi perked up, "So Mako-chan, you going to introduce your new friends?" she said in her bubbly, friendly voice.

Duo and Makoto looked at each other and sighed in defeat, they were never going to get a break, Duo whined, "Not again!! .... I'm Duo, that's Quatre, Wufei, Trowa and Heero." he said pointing to the correct people, "your turn."

Usagi cleared her throat, earning sweatdrops from her friends, "This is Usagi," she said pointing to herself, "And these are her friends, Hotaru, Rei, Ami, Minako, and you know Makoto." she finished it off with a giggle. Duo laughed nervously with her giggling, Quatre sweatdropped, Wufei glared, Heero kept his eyes closed, and Trowa only stared at them. "Well," continued Usagi, "Since we're all here, what are we going to do?"she asked looking around.

Then Ami spoke up, "Why don't we try the new game? I think it's called laser tag?" she informed, not totally sure herself. She received speechless, blank stares from everyone.

"Umm, Ami? You actually know about a new game?" asked Minako, looking shocked, the boys sweatdropped... well most of them did. "Anyways... do you want to try it?" she asked, everyone shrugged a yah, sure. "Well, um, it's in teams..." she trailed off.

Rei looked at Wufei, who just happened to look her way, and they locked gazes. Then Wufei nodded and said, "I accept you challenge, onna." They both smirked, and stood up. The rest of the group stood and followed Rei and Wufei to the game with secret smiles on their faces.

' Hmm, they make a cute couple. OH! I have a great idea.' thought Duo. He whispered a message into Makoto's ear. She chuckled a bit, and whispered the same thing into Minako's ear. Minako started to laugh, but she stopped herself. She whispered to Quatre, so on and so forth.

Once they reached the game they had to figure out who's partner was who's. Hotaru sighed in relief as she realized she wouldn't have to play, because there were eleven people there. "I don't think I'll play." she decided was the best to say, though she was skeptical about the boys she hardly knew.

"Ohh! Taru-chan, onegai, don't leave!!" Usagi pleaded with puppy dog eyes, but decided better of it and dragged Hotaru and Heero with her to the start. "No one said you couldn't have three to a team!!" she chirped.

"Hnn." was the direct response she was given from Heero.

"Well, Mako-chan. Want to be my partner?" asked Duo.

"Sure!" was her reply, they linked arms and made their way into the game.

Rei looked around. 'Hm. Can't have Chang, or Duo, so...' "You!" she claimed pointing towards the blonde.

"Me?" he asked pointing to himself as well, "What about me?"

"You're going to be my partner!" she announced, pulling him to the start.

"Alrighty then, Wuffy, or whatever your name is. You're my partner!" Minako decided, walking up closer to him.

"My name is Wufei! And you don't know how to ask you on........"he couldn't finish his sentence. She rolled her eyes and towed him along to the start.

"Well, I guess we're partners then." Ami stated while smiling. Trowa tried not thinking about the smile, and such and nodded his head in response.

*In Laser Tag*

The groups entered laser tag, some regretfully, some angrily, and the rest happily. They were all suited up, and they looked like people gundams with their armor and guns. (AN: This is different from real laser tag, of course.)

Everybody had to be careful not to step into a booby-trap. Oh yes, there were booby-traps, escape routes and of course, lift cages. Makoto and Duo had ran into Trowa and Ami to make sure they knew the deal. And then they ran into Usagi, Hotaru and Heero.

"Hey guys, you remember the plan right?" asked the always hyper active Duo.

"Yah, yah. I remember," Usagi stated, "We're not supposed to shoot anyone until we catch Rei and Wufei together, alright? Are you satisfied? Besides, it's not like I can shoot anyone anyways, I have to drag these two party poopers around." she exclaimed.

"Hnn." Heero replied annoyingly, and was dragged away by Usagi again. He looked at the other victim of Usagi's torture. Hotaru was her name, that seemed to suit her.... firefly.

They rounded a corner as they came into view with Minako and Wufei. Immediately Wufei pulled out his laser gun and started shooting. The trio dropped to the ground, and Heero pulled out his real gun in mistake and started shooting as well. He shot at Minako, the easier target.

Minako saw she was being shot at... by a real gun!?!?!?! With her good training, she instinctively dodged the bullet, hearing it pierce the wall behind her, where she once stood, and echo through the cave-like-building. Her anger flared, "Hey! Are you crazy? What do you think you're doing???" she squeaked, She started walking towards them, "First of all, you're not supposed to shoot at us, and second of all-" she was pulled back by Wufei.

"Onna, what are you doing? You just walked into the line of fire, and what do you mean they're not supposed to shoot at us?" he asked, his anger also flaring.

Minako ignored his question, "You baka, you didn't let me finish!"she started to walk again. Wufei, of course, followed her.

"ONNA!!" he yelled in anger. He caught her arm again, "You ba....."he wasn't able to finish. The floor had opened up, it was a trap door to an underground tunnel.

The trio looked up in surprise, and then stood. "Ohmikami! The floor just at Wufei and Minako!!" Usagi squeaked. Hotaru rolled her eyes, sometimes her hime could unlogical. Then to her disagreement, she, once again, was pulled away with the impassive, mysterious boy Heero. Questioning the reason he had a real gun with him.

* With Wu-chan and Mina-chan*

"Owie!!" Minako complained, while brushing the dust off of her skirt. She glanced around. It was very dark, and Wufei had the night vision glasses. Wufei? Where was Wufei? She looked all around, but couldn't spot him. 'Where could he have gone? I know he fell too, I felt him hold onto my arm.' she looked around some more, before calling out his name. "Wufei? Oh Wufei? Come out, come out wherever you are!" But no answers were given. She sighed, and then thought better of it. She started to run around in the dark, 'I can find Rei and Quatre, and tell them Wufei has gone after them without me, and then Rei will....." she tripped over something.

"Watch where you're going!" whispered a harsh voice. Though Minako couldn't see him, she knew it was Wufei, much to her disappointment. 'Kuso! He always has to do that, doesn't he?' she thought angrily. Then she realized, Wufei was hiding. From what? She had no idea. She looked over his shoulder, and saw Rei and Quatre slowly walking towards them, 'I guess my plan doesn't matter...! Oh my kami! Rei is coming though!' her eyes widened, 'If Rei comes close to Wufei, then he's going to definitely try and shoot her... or they're going to shoot each other.' She looked around in panic, the only thing there was a rock. So Minako picked it up and hurled it past Rei and Quatre. As quickly as she threw the rock, she sat down behind Wufei in time for him to turn around with a questioning look. She just shrugged her shoulders. Wufei turned around again, but the other two were gone.

'Kuso!' thought Wufei, 'These onna's are better than they look.' he mused. Then he turned to his partner in anger, "Come on." he commanded, walking in the direction the others had just been standing.

They walked down the path until they heard a sound. minako stopped dead in her tracks. Then they heard it again, "oooooh." Minako's eyes widened as much as they could and she gritted her teeth in fear , "Wha-a-, what... is that?" she finally asked, "Is... is that a-a ghost?" she squeaked.

"Weak onna, of course it's not!"
"Hey! I'm not weak!"
"CLICK!" was the next thing they heard. Wufei slowly turned around, he was facing his rival... Rei.

"Konnichiwa Chang." she said in a sarcastic voice.

"Iie! Iie, iie, iie! Rei, you can't ruin this!" Minako screamed at the top of her lungs. It was so loud, it pricked at their ears lick a needle, they had to cover their ears, in pain.

"Kami onna, must you screech so damn loud?" (It is soooo obvious who said that!)

"Hai!" She said in a very cheerful voice, "Hey Quatre-chan, you might want to stand out of the entrance way." she added.

Quatre did as he was told, and as if on cue, everyone poured into the room, through the entrance where Quatre once stood. Of course, Duo and Makoto were first to enter. "Hey minna-chan, what's going on?" he said as stern as a parent.

Wufei pointed to Minako, "This baka-onna was trying to break our ear drums!" He yelled in more anger, followed by a short 'humph.'

"Chang, you're unbelievable.... Now you're blaming others for your mistakes!!" Rei interrupted.

"My mistakes? Onna, you have got to be kidding yourself! Didn't you hear her? Or are you deaf?" He roared back.

Everyone else just watched, some annoyed, some angrily and of course some happily.

Hotaru looked around, 'Are they all enjoying this?' she thought,'If they want their plan to work, they should do something instead of just standing there watching them act like crazy children arguing!' Hotaru wasn't the type to get mad but this was ridiculous! Heero seemed to have the same thoughts exactly. Heero stepped out and pointed his gun at Wufei and Rei, "Omae o korosu," was all he said. Usagi gasped with excitement, and the others gasped with horror.

Rei and Wufei abruptly stopped arguing, and slowly turned around to face Heero , and for the second time shouted, together, "But out Yuy!!"

Now it was Hotaru's time to show her anger, she stepped up next to Heero, "Enough! I can't take your constant bickering anymore!" she said monotonously and growled. Then she thought better of the situation. She quickly stepped up towards Rei and pushed her into the lift cage behind her. Everyone else tried their hardest not to burst with laughter, everyone except Wufei.

"I told you, you were a weak onna!" Next Heero plunged forward, pushing Wufei , also, into the lift cage, directly on top of Rei.

"In your face, Wufei." Heero retorted sarcastically, but it was hard to tell from his very own monotone voice.

Duo, of course, took this sly opportunity to tip toe over to the side of the lift cage, shut the cage, and push the 'up' button, until it reached half way, then he stopped it completely. All they could hear now, was the faint desperate pleas from Rei and Wufei, to get them out. Once that was done, everyone burst out laughing....
