Chapter 13
When they got to the library Quatre and Relena were sipping tea and enjoying polite conversation. Chris sat on the short sofa next to Quatre and draped her arms along the back of the seat. Duo took a plush seat next to Relena. Each grabbed a sweet and popped it in their mouths before saying a word.
Reaching for another tart Chris cast a glance at Relena who stared at Chris with a doubting glance. Ignoring her Chris offered Quatre a smile.
"Um, Chris? I was wondering." Quatre started. "I realize you and Miss Cookie are not on the best terms right now, but may I ask you a question?"
Chris frowned but said "Shoot."
"Does Miss Breton tend to buy more when she's upset?"
Chris gave him a pitying glance. "Not more.but jewelry seems to be a great comfort to her."
Poor Quatre, Chris thought. "She made off with one of your credit cards didn't she?"
Visibly paler he nodded. At that moment Cookie entered the room, with her arm draped over Heero. She glared at Chris when she spotted her and said, "I heard those last comments.do you think I don't have any self control?"
Quatre, only seeing one bag sighed with relief and some color returned to his face.
It was then that Cookie spotted Duo and practically pounced on him, leaving Heero by the door. "Hi Duo!"
Duo, also only seeing one bag said, "No fair Heero! How come you only have to carry one bag? When she took me shopping I ended up with a lot more than that!"
"What's wrong with that?" Cookie narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
Duo unconsciously rubbed his shoulder. Cookie noticed this and turned to Chris, "Showing off your battle scars?"
Duo, in an attempt to avoid another fight, said, "I just noticed it and asked what he did to deserve it."
"Would you like to see?" Cookie scowled as she lifted up the side of her shirt a little way, showing a slightly wider scar that wrapped from her side to the back.
Duo cast an accusing glance at Chris. Chris jumped up lifting a baggy pant leg stating, "That was for this nice metal memento that I happen to be forced to keep in my leg now in fear of further damage."
They stood glaring at each other when an unwise and most unwelcome voice intruded.
"You two shouldn't be fighting. You're partners, which means you work together and."
"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!" They both snapped in unison. Relena flinched and backed down cautiously.
"Maybe if you had been paying attention instead flirting with the nearest girl . you could have easily avoided that attack."
"Look who's talking! You drool after every pretty boy we've ever met!
Cookie flushed and balled her fists. "What are you talking about you big gay freak?"
Chris's cheeks turned red and she bared her teeth. Cookie continued. "And don't bother trying to deny it either. I've read everyone of those sick love letters."
"Well at least I get love letters! It's so nice to be wanted."
The slap Cookie gave Chris echoed throughout the room. Chris's head snapped back and she slowly brought it forward. Gently rubbing the sore spot Chris's eyes narrowed with deadly intent and drew a hand back.
Relena, no longer able to stand back and watch the horrifying display jumped in front of Cookie. "No! Stop this please! I can't allow you two to continue like this! It's just not right!" Relena cast Chris a pleading look. Chris turned her back on both Relena and Cookie. Cookie stormed from the room, Duo shot Trowa a glance and Trowa quietly exited, following Cookie at a safe pace.
Relena looked at Chris with distress. She walked up and put her hand on Chris's back. "Thank you for not striking her. You two will work out your differences in time and be closer friends for it I'm sure."
Chris spun around and took Relena's hands into a painful grip that made her cry out. "Go preach somewhere else you loud mouth little twerp. This fight doesn't concern you."
Chris shoved her backwards and she landed awkwardly on her chair. Turning again Chris bowed to Quatre. "If I could have a word with you in more private quarters? We'll discuss my escorting Miss Relena back home." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cookie stormed down the hall until she entered a den, closing the door behind her.
"That jerk!" She thought as she sank down to the floor.
She brought her head down on her arms, resting her chin on her knees. She shook her head back and forth a bit thinking, "Why did I get stuck with such and idiot for a partner.always starting fights."
She spoke out loud with the next line, "Chris is the one person I don't fully enjoy being angry at."
"Well then, you should be nicer to your partner. Chris spoke highly of you while she was at the circus." Trowa said as he entered the room and sat down on a chair.
"Leave me alone!" She snapped as she looked up and saw Trowa.
He simply sat there until Cookie continued, "Sorry, but Chris makes being nice impossible!" Her eyes narrowed and then she said, "She makes me so mad!"
"All that shows is that you two are close friends. You know each other so well that you both know exactly what to do to make the other truly angry." Trowa told her in response.
Cookie cocked her eyebrow at him, but considered what he said. "I guess I do know Chris pretty well.unfortunately."
"You two have a good partnership, even if it is one of the most violent I've ever seen." Trowa answered thoughtfully.
With that, Cookie laughed and stood up. "So, what do you think we should do?"
"Just stay away from each other long enough to calm down." Trowa answered and stood up, intending to leave.
"You're right.I need to calm down and release some stress.Come on!" Cookie said, grabbing his arm and pulling him out of the room.
A few minutes later found them in the hangar. Cookie retrieved her gun and reloaded it, with regular bullets. She pulled Trowa with her into the practice range. "Set up the target! Oh, and hold onto this extra ammo for now." She instructed, handing Trowa a purple box.
Trowa, being the gentleman he was, decided to listen. As soon as he set up the target and got out of the way, she began.
He watched and noted her aim was completely perfect in all conditions. "I'll have to remember to thank Duo for stopping you back at the base."
Cookie looked at him strangely and said, "What? Did you think I would miss?"
"No, but I didn't realize your aim was perfect." He said trailing off.
She grinned evilly, "Good thing you got to learn the easy way."
Cookie then handed him her gun and said, "Reload."
Trowa obliged and handed her back the revolver. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chris: That was a good meal! I love Quatre's cook!
Cookie: Oh really now? Is she one of you admirers?
Chris: (Glaring) Don't go there!
Cookie: Oh, why not? Is Chris embarrassed?
Chris: I'm warning you.(Hand goes to pocket where gun is hidden)
Cookie: You have such a short temper.I'll just have to retaliate if you try anything.
Chris: ME? WHAT ABOUT YOU?
Cookie: Now I'm angry! You called me short tempered.you must die for that! (Instead of Lavendar, Cookie goes to sol and aims her beam cannon with the cute little grenade launcher)
Chris: (Gets in own gundam and battle ensues) Well, while I kill my partner here, you better review!
