Part Eleven

"Michiki you go talk to Duo and I'll talk to Heero, ok?" Chardae asks walking off.

Michiki turns and walks towards Duo when Chardae yells out, "I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU!" With a HUGE sweatdrop, Michiki continues walking towards Duo.

Chardae walks up to Heero and sits on the table and starts talking.

"So, what happened for you two to split the table? I really don't appreciate it." Chardae says stealing piece of food.

Heero keeps his straight face, "He was flirting with some girl."

"You mean to tell me that all of this was over that!" Chardae exclaims.

Heero shakes his head, "No, I kissed Mosiom to get back at him."

With a loud BAM Chardae falls out of the table...

To Michiki and Duo:

"Hey Duo! What's up?" Michiki says with a big smile.

"I don't want to talk about it." Duo says sternly and looks at some people walking by.

"Why are you and Heero fighting?" Michiki says pulling up a chair.

"Because he kissed Mosiom!" Duo screeches.

"Oh my god! He did what?" Michiki says in a state of shock.

"He kissed her for no reason!" Duo says pouting.

"Are you sure? I mean sure Heero's not all there but are you sure you didn't do something to provoke him?" Michiki asks sounding like a detective.

"It's probably because I was talking to some girl I know to see if there are apartments available," Duo lowers his head. "I got evicted from where I used to live."

"Oh you poor thing!" Michiki gives Duo a hug.

Back to Chardae and Heero:

Heero looks over and sees Michiki give Duo a hug and his eyes go squinty. "That's the problem.he's too much of a flirt!"

Chardae gets frustrated, "She's only talking to the boy! Will you two just apologize?"

"No! Not until he does it first!" Heero tells her stubbornly.

"Geez! You're acting like Wufei!" Chardae tells him as an insult.

Wufei turns to them, "I heard that!"

Chardae looks over and sees Shane talking to Zechs. Chardae gets even more frustrated, "Come on! You two will apologize to each other whether you like it or not!" Grabs Heero's arm and drags him to the table that Duo and Michiki were at.

"Here comes Chardae and she seems to be dragging Heero with her." Michiki informs Duo.

"Like I care." Duo crosses his arms.

Chardae walks up with a beat up Heero (who was basically dragged across the floor) and an upset look on her face. "You two will apologize to each other because I will not have anymore of this!"

Heero and Duo look at each other. They look in to each other's eyes and right when they were about to apologize. "HEEEEEEEEEEERO!" rings out through the lunchroom.

"No no no no! This is not happening!" Chardae cries out in frustration.

Relena walks up to Heero and blabs on and on about something that went right through both of Heero's ears. Michiki and Chardae frantically look around for Shane but remember her screaming that she was going to get some cookies so that both tables would hear her.

Zechs walks up to all of them, "Relena we're doing something so why don't you go back to your friends?"

Relena looks up at him, "But, but.fine!" Relena storms off upset.

Shane walks up happily eating cookies, "Did I miss anything?"

Chardae elbows Heero at the same time Michiki does to Duo.

Both of them at the same time apologize and the tables get put back together. Everyone continues to talk as if nothing happened.

"Wufei, where were you? You missed the most interesting thing in class." Quatre tells Wufei as he gives Chardae and Michiki three cookies for solving everything.

"Really? What happened?" Wufei asks cringing to know the answer.

"The book has way more detailed than the Cleo videos." Quatre says cheerfully.

Chardae turns to them at the name of "Cleo".

"Hey! Cleo's my cousin! I don't know if he came out yet but my cousin is engaged to the really hot guy. Isn't it weird to meet the man of your dreams in a Sex Ed. Tape?"

Trowa blushes somewhat thinking about the video and the picture in the book. Hilde runs up to the table, "Oh my god! The teacher from Trowa's class was telling his class about how Relena ran into the principal! Everyone started laughing!"

"ACK! I almost forgot! I have to get my purse!" Chardae gets up and stops when Zechs grabs her hand.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Zechs asks with concern of her getting yelled at by Mr.Bell.

Chardae blushes, "No, I'll be okay going by myself.I'll be really quick. But thanks for the offer!" She gives him a smile and runs off to get her purse before the bell rings to leave lunch.

Hiryu sits by himself in at a table near the gang. He sees Michiki sitting next to Duo contemplating about Christmas presents and how she did not know what she wanted. Michiki also mentions more than once that she loved Duo's hair. Hiryu glares at the braided baka silently. All of a sudden, Duo sees Hiryu and walks up to him.

"You're the one who hit me with my own braid! What the hell's your problem?" Duo exclaims.

Hiryu's eyes narrow, if possible, even more. With a reason beyond anyone's comprehension, Hiryu pulls out a grappling hook and manages to snip the end of Duo's braid. EVERYONE stays in a state of shock at this reaction for about five minutes. Hiryu hands Michiki the chopped end of Duo's braid and begins to walk away.

Duo finally snaps out of it and attacks Hiryu in a fury of fists. However, in his rage, Duo's common sense and pure instinct leaves him. Hiryu takes this opportunity and sucker punches Duo in the gut before stalking through the crowd and out of the cafeteria.

"Bitch! Get your motherfucking ass back over here; I'll beat your ass down! Bitch! Slut! Ho!" Chardae yells at Hiryu.

Upon seeing Duo keel over, Michiki runs to the boy. Duo seems to be fine. Despite the fact that his hair was in loose ruffles around him, Duo is perfectly okay.

Michiki and Chardae find this as the greatest opportunity to mess with Duo's hair.

"Don't worry we can fix it!" Chardae says while petting his hair.

"Who has a hair tie?" Michiki screams out.

All the girls in the lunchroom raise their hand and scream "Me!"

Chardae and Michiki exchange the same look of disgust and decide to use both of their extras. Michiki re-braided it and Chardae tied it up at the end.

"There you go.almost good as new!" Chardae and Michiki say in unison.

After everything gets settled back down, they all look at Michiki who still has the end of Duo's old braid.

"What?" Michiki asks.

Mosiom leans in; "Don't you think it's a little creepy that some kid cuts off the end of the braid of the guy you like and hands it to you? Personally I'd hand it back to Duo so he can get out of the shock he's in right now."

Everybody continues to stare at Michiki. Shane looks at Heero who's talking to Duo and hits Michiki in the arm. "Give it back to him!"

{Aw, shit} Michiki thinks as she walks up to Heero and Duo.

Michiki raises one trembling hand towards Duo.

"I think this belongs to you."

Duo looks at Michiki with a sad look on his face. He takes Michiki's hands and closes them around the hair bundle. "Not anymore."

In the evening, a dark female figure is seen hovering around a building on the outskirts of Gundam High once more. She searches the parameters and takes a small control from a pouch that rests at her side. With a push of a button, the building explodes.
