Chapter 7
Chris flipped the cell phone shut as the others talked.
"You know, I think Chris is enjoying this. Don't you agree, Duo?" Cookie asked after sending the maid away with the dirty plates.
"He definitely has a healthy appetite."
Chris, still stuffing her face, ignored Cookie for the time being. Duo and Quatre were watching in amazement, wondering how Chris could eat so much in such a short time.
"I thought I taught you how to chew two months ago.oh well, so much for charm school. I wonder how so many girls could fall in love with such bad table manners."
Chris glared at Cookie and threw a crescent roll at her head. Cookie flipped her hair around, avoiding the roll, but Duo wasn't quite so lucky. He got hit by not only a buttery roll, but Cookie's mass of hair.
"Duo! You're getting my hair all greasy!"
Quatre sweat dropped and ducked out of the room saying, "I'll go check on dessert."
"Dessert!" Chris stuck another fork full of food in her mouth, "Man! I could kiss your cook Quatre!"
Cookie grinned evilly and rested her chin on the back of her hand. "And I'm sure she would enjoy it too."
Chris tossed another roll, and it started all over again.
Down in the Hangar, after eating, Chris was showing Duo her new gundam. "After our last battle, I went back to pick up a few pieces. I found the main parts and began to rebuild it. You might recognize Nemesis' new leg design, it even has a few of the original's parts."
"Let me guess, my suit was used for spare parts again."
"Maybe. Don't feel bad, yours wasn't the only one I used. Take a look at the arms."
Right away Duo recognized the design of the arms as those of Zero One. "At least it was put to good use." He sighed in defeat.
Chris laughed and commented, "I guess you could say that last battle really cost you and Heero an arm and a leg."
Duo, not appreciating the joke, turned to save Quatre from the unfolding drama caused by Cookie. Though most obeyed her every whim, Rasheed and a few other of the older pilots didn't take well to her commands.
Before he could leave Chris whistled to get his attention.
"Catch!" Chris threw him a large, and rather heavy box with a big purple bow on it.
Chris cast a glance at Cookie, who looked very unpleased. "Trust me, after a few years dealing with girls you find you'd rather run through gunfire naked than go into that battle unarmed. If your going to tell her, of all people, to calm down.you had better give her a good reason to."
Duo looked down at the package. "So what's this for?"
"Just give it to her at the first sign of trouble."
Cookie turned around when she saw Duo and whined. "Why won't these stupid, ugly, old men do what I say?! Everybody's supposed to listen to me. It's not fair!"
Duo knew what to say. "I don't know, they just don't appreciate your. beauty and intelligence."
Chris hid from the chaos behind Sol's leg. He gave Duo a silent thumb up for handling that so well.
"You know what, you're right, they don't appreciate me. I have to do something about that." Cookie turned and started heading over to Rasheed.
Chris whispered desperately "The box! The box!"
Duo heard him and said, "Wait Cookie! I have a present for you. Why don't you open it."
"Really?! Oh, how nice! It's kind of big. It doesn't look like the usual flowers or candy.but it could be fun." Cookie said, suddenly changing tone, as she took off the bow.
"Oh!!" she squealed when she saw it. "It's a new toy! Thank you Duo! I was waiting for Chris to make this for me, but Chris was too lazy. That's okay, coming from you is even better." She hugged him.
Quatre was relieved that Cookie's rampage had been stopped. He went over to her and asked, "What's that?" and gave Duo a very grateful look as he passed by.
"It's a model of the new gun for Sol! Look! It's a beam cannon that rivals the power of the cannon of Zero one, and it comes with the cutest little grenade launcher!"
Quatre and Duo sweat drop.
Duo walked over to Chris and whispered "Are you sure you should give that thing to her?"
"Relax, that's only a model. Anyway, if you think she's dangerous with that, wait until I build the full size model for her gundam."
"In that case, I'm going to go have a last meal."
Chris jumped up at the word meal, grabbed Duo's arm, and said, "Let's go!"
Cookie remained in the hangar happily looking at her new toy. Quatre backed away and went to reassure Rasheed the crisis was over.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo convinced Chris to distract the cook while he snagged the barely touched dessert cart. So Chris flirted with her by lavishing praise from dinner as Duo stole the cart and waited outside. A few minutes later Chris came out of the kitchen with a huge slice of cake with a candy rose on top.
"Hey, what ya got there?" Duo asked before taking a bit of a raspberry tart.
Chris let out a small belch. "Ahh.Just a small preview of tomorrow's dinner, that's all."
Duo laughed and tossed Chris a ladyfinger as Chris took a seat among the desserts Duo had laid out.
Duo and Chris sat huddled over the treats eating and laughing when a shadow loomed over them. Chris dramatically gulped the mouth full she had been chewing and in unison both Chris and Duo slowly turned their heads to see Cookie, standing with her arms crossed, and a angry frown on her face.
"When I over heard the cook fretting over the loss of her dessert cart I knew you two were up to something."
Chris smirked. "So? It's missing, it just so happens that nice lady gave me a bit of a snack."
Duo jumped in quickly. "Yeah. And My man Chris here was kind enough to share."
Cookie lifted a brow. "Chris share food? Doubtful. Besides." Cookie walked over and scooped up a handful of paper wrappers. "This many wrappers for one piece of cake?"
Chris draped an arm around Duo and gave him a confident wink.
"Sorry Cookie, but you've got no evidence."
"You think not huh? Well how about the empty cart I found disassembled and folded neatly into one of your suitcases. Cook won't be to happy about that now will she Chris?"
Duo and Chris's faces fell. They had to admit, she had them, but that didn't mean they had to be happy about it. "I was gonna put it back together ya know?"
"So." Cookie continued. "Unless you want your snack-well (a cookie pun.get it?) to dry up, you had better to get to work on building my new toy." And with that she left the room.
Duo stood up and brushed some crumbs from his shirt. "Man, and I though Heero was ruthless."
"Yeah, but gotta say, Heero looks a lot better in spandex ne? Hey, ever wonder where he hides his gun?"
Duo blushed a bit but didn't answer.
Shaking that thought from his mind Duo changed the subject.
"So how come you put up with her high-and-mightiness anyway?"
"She's not just some selfish spoiled brat you know." Chris snapped defensively.
"She sure seems stuck up to me." Duo commented, not noticing the angry look come over Chris.
Chris grabbed him by the collar and shook him once.
"Just because we're mercenaries now, unlike you fancy-pants Gundam pilots, doesn't mean we take our money and spend our days sipping lemonade."
Chris shoved Duo away and started picking up wrappers.
Remorsefully Duo put a hand on Chris's shoulder.
"I didn't mean that man, I'm sorry. She just acts like a princess who just expects everyone to jump at her command."
Chris slapped his hand away. "That's because she is a princess. Men can be so brainless sometimes."
Duo missed the man bashing and stumbled back in shock.
"A princess?" Chris waited for that information to sink in when Duo grabbed Chris by the collar. "She's a princess and you're letting her do something as dangerous as mercenary work? What kind of man are you?"
Insulted, Chris knocked Duo's hands away and pushed him back. "For your information I'm Royalty too! Just because my colony was destroyed so long ago doesn't change who I am."
"You're both true royalty then?" Duo asked confused.
Chris thought of how to word this. "Well, Cookie isn't really a crown princess. She was more like Quatre ya'know? Her family was the wealthiest, most highly respected family on her colony."
"And you?"
"Unlike Heero, who took his name from the original Heero Yui, I simply kept my name. The colony I came from was the first colony to break away from the earth, and my forefathers lead the revolution. In fact my family was probably far wealthier than Cookie's. Anyway, because all the leaders of my family were referred to as King or Queens that technically makes me-"
"A prince!" Duo finished.
Chris gave up. "Yeah.that's it.a prince."
"For a prince you sure act normally enough. How come you don't seem more like Cookie?"
"Like I said, my colony was totally destroyed probably around the same time you were born."
Duo looked Chris over with a slightly stunned look. "No. I'm not that old. Though I may be a year or two older than Trowa. But I wasn't even three when my colony was destroyed."
"I get it. You weren't royalty long enough to become spoiled." Duo summarized.
"I guess you could put it that way." Chris responded, scratching her head. "Cookie isn't as bad as she seems ya'know."
"Huh?" Duo asked as he leaned back and looked sort of confused.
"She was actually very caring and made sure everyone was happy, especially the servants. She made sure that they were well taken of by having her parents give them lots of benefits and she had newer, modern quarters built for them. One time, when a servant was injured, she paid for their hospital stay, out of her own allowance, even though it wasn't a work- related incident. She stopped shopping for a week in order to pay for it herself. She was the wealthiest, most well loved person on her colony. She had everything in the world she ever wanted ready to be handed to her on a silver platter.and she risked all that to save me." Chris left things at that and went to build Cookie her new toy.
Cookie: Hi everyone! I just wanted to tell you that we are thrilled to have been reviewed! Thank you! It keeps us motivated!
Chris: Hey there, I just wanted to thank our reviewer as well. Keep the reviews comin!
