Chapter 9

"So you two are mercenaries hired to protect Miss Dorlin?" Wufei asked Cookie.

Chris was tucking the rescued letter into a tin box with the others then left the tent to join Cookie and Wufei out by the fire.

"We were hired to watch her." Cookie stated.

"Yeah, but not paid enough to bother saving her if someone were to attempt an assassination due to idea conflicts." Chris said, throwing in a personal opinion.

Cookie elbowed Chris, who was standing behind her, and said, "We will save her if that situation comes up. We need the money to complete our plans."

"Oof!" Chris said as the elbow knocked some of the wind out of her.

Wufei gave Chris a knowing smirk. "You shouldn't let your woman get away with things like that."

Cookie doubled over laughing. Chris blushed and sputtered. "She's not my girlfriend!"

"Like I could compete with all Chris's girlfriends." Cookie remarked dryly.

Chris snarled at Cookie and added. "And I was going to teach her a lesson till somebody attacked me."

Wufei's grin didn't disappear. "If I had known you were only pretending you were going to beat her I would have let you continue.

"Who was pretending?" Chris mumbled.

"Hah! Like you could actually get a hit in on me." Cookie retorted.

Chris turned around at that and flicked Cookie in the forehead.

"Hey! That almost hurt you bastard!" Cookie said pulling out her gun to check the reflection to make sure that Chris hadn't left any mark on her perfect forehead.

"Chris, you really shouldn't hit a woman, no matter how lightly you do it or how strong she is." Wufei said matter-o-factly.

Still soar and in a bad temper, Chris snapped. "Then why the hell did you feel so free to go off on me like you did? I am, after all.a girl too ya know."

Wufei gave Chris a doubtful look.

Chris started lifting her shirt. "You want proof?" She snapped angrily.

Wufei averted his eyes and Cookie stepped in to calm Chris down.

"Chris stop! No one is supposed to see the bare skin of royalty. If he sees your bare skin you'll either have to kill him or make him your boyfriend!" Cookie said, enjoying this thoroughly.

Wufei turned his head and pretended he hadn't heard that. He reached down to fix his collar but Cookie still had his coat and was wearing it happily.

Cookie noticed this and purposely pulled the coat around her tighter.

Wufei slicked back his hair and grimly realized he wouldn't be getting it back anytime soon.

Chris untied the coat that hung around her hips and tossed it at Wufei. "I can tell you learn fast. Just don't be so gallant next time." Chris said with a grin.

Cookie took Chris's hand and slapped a spoon in it. "Foods done. You serve, and remember to leave some for our guest."

Chris's scowl came back full force. "Oh.die."

Later that night Chris offered to take on the job of hunting down their ward.

"Fine with me. That chick bugs me. Give me a gun over a speech any day." Cookie answered as she opened up a bag of rolls.

Chris gave her a doubtful look and made the comment, "Oh well, I'd rather spend a couple days surrounded by a group of lovesick girls than be in Wufei's shoes."

Cookie threw a roll at Chris, but Chris simply caught it and said, "Thanks, I was getting hungry."

As Chris ducked out the door, Wufei asked, "What did Chris mean by that comment?"

"Oh nothing.Chris is still a little upset at having to leave her newest girlfriend, Quatre's cook." Cookie answered the question as she got the look that said she was planning on having some fun on her face.

While Chris flirted information out of Relena's friends for the next few days, Cookie put Wufei to work doing a few.small things for her.

Chris got back to camp two days later.

"Ya' miss me?" Chris asked with a silly grin.

"Oh, you mean you were gone? And I missed basking in the absence of you and your power tools?"

Chris picked up a wide silk ribbon from the floor and came up behind Cookie tapped her lower lip in thought. "A touring group of your admiring girlfriends from our last school? Or that girl you saved from last month's Oz attack? I know! It was that blonde from the circus that did the human pretzel act! Did she want to show you what positions she could get into?"

"Die." She used the ribbon she was holding to gag Cookie. Laughing, Cookie pulled the ribbon away. "I was just kidding."

"So where's Wufei?" Chris asked as she glanced around and suddenly doubled over laughing.

"Now how did you manage that?" Chris asked as she saw Wufei diligently sewing the strap back onto Cookie's shirt.

Cookie shrugged and simply said, "Well he said he wouldn't take orders from a woman, but it turns out he will take orders from a woman with a gun to his head. Would you like an example?"

Cookie pulled out her gun and flashed it at Chris who put her hands up and slowly backed out of the tent.

After Chris helped Wufei finish up the laundry she went back into the tent to find Cookie polishing her gun. "Oh yeah, I met Relena's mom while I was there. She handed me this, it's a note thanking you for saving Relena and a bonus of a few thousand yen. She asked us to watch over her again."

"Oh good, we need another job. Rebuilding your gundam, which you managed to destroy, cost a lot even with the borrowed parts." Cookie responded, fitting in another opportunity to insult Chris.

"Would ya shut up about that?" Chris answered.

Just then the cell phone rang and Cookie picked it up. "Yes Dr. L?"

"The lamb has been kidnapped. It's time for you to go to work." Came the response.

"Dumb chick, always getting in trouble. It makes our job so much more annoying." Cookie said as she exited the tent and headed to her gundam.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Chris said as she headed toward her gundam as well.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot." Cookie pivoted and headed over to where Wufei was. "Now, you sit and stay. We'll be back soon. Watch our stuff for the time."

Wufei stood up and seemed sort of upset. "Why should I listen to you?"

"Because of Lavender here." Cookie tossed him his coat and headed out the door.

Chris wandered over there and said, "Just make sure you secure the premises before you run away. Catch ya later!"Cookie and watched her apply violet eye shadow. "You might get your chance yet. Guess who stopped off at the school while I was there?"

Cookie: Hi to all my loving readers out there!

Chris: Hey! What about me?

Cookie: Oh yeah, hello to all our loving readers out there.

Chris: Gee thanks.

Cookie: What are you complaining about? I gave you recognition!

Chris: Only after I reminded you!

Cookie: Are you implying that I'm not a nice person? (She pulls out Lavender and releases the safety) (Shots ring out, but Cookie huffs in disgust) Blanks?!

Chris: Ha-Ha! Haven't you learned yet? I always fill your gun with blanks.

Cookie: (Dumps ammo and reloads with regular bullets) What about now?

Chris: (Pulls out own gun in retaliation)

After a few shots, they calm down and Cookie speaks up: You know, it's been awhile since we ate. Are you hungry?

Chris: Food? I'm all for it. Oh yeah! Review! See ya!
