Chapter 14
"Need to talk to you Kinal." Mako stated as she looked into her friends eyes as they reached her apartment.
"We don't need to talk about it." she replied moving her arms around as if to shew the thought away.
"I need to talk about it, Kinal. I need to talk about it to my friend." she opened the door and let her and her friend in.
Kinal let in and went inside.
"As you know I'm the daughter of an ex-general. Even though my father was rich I attended public schools because my dad believed it would do me good. I did well in practicly all of my classes but Heero was kind of a slacker and slept through most of his classes. But he was smart deep inside I knew that. He flew we to the stars..." she paused for a while as if reliving a moment.
"I thought you said that you were a virgin." Kinal couldn't believe she was actually saying that but she really wanted to know.
Mako blushed. "Not that way." she stamered. "It's kind of compicated but Heero loved the stars."
Kinal in turn blushed. "I understand now." a devilish grin started on her face. "Woud you have liked him to have shown you the stars?"
Mako blushed even harder.
"I'll take that as a yes." Kinal was really enjoying herself.
"Shut up." she sounded angry but her face showned different as she smiled embarresed.
"Okay. But I want to know what happened next. This is sounding like a soap opera."
"Sure this makes me feel a lot better. But what would you call the name of my soap." she teased.
"Girl with a big heart sounds to lame." she relaxed some more on the sofa.
"Your right. But maybe I should write one. And I'm grateful you would call it that."
"You're stalling."
She laughed "Maybe. Maybe not. You decide."
"I chose you tell me."
"That's not an option."
"To me it is." her friend laughed.
"Fine. My father didn't approve of Heero because he was well..." she paused trying to kind the right word.
"Not a hard worker?" Kinal offered.
"Yes. He wanted Heero to go under special training and to become as soldier. But I didn't want Heero to change. He wanted by dad's approval so much that he was willing to do that for me. My father died the night he told me and I was so scared that he would die like my father. We both said some things we didn't mean and he never came back."
Kinal looked shocked at her friend. "How come you never told me?"
"Could you have helped?" she sighed.
Kinal nodded understandingly. "But I want to help. I'll help by hitting you in the face."
"What?!" but it was to late as a pillow hit her in the face.
The night continued as two voices of laugher filled the room.
Heero walked upstairs from the basement not bothering to turn on the light because he always knew where everything was. 'The perfect soldier.' he reminded himself his heart blistering.
He continued to walk into the kitchen for no reason, an unconsious decision.
Heero opened the refegerator and stared inside as if confused about why he opened it.
'I might as well get used to this.' he told himself as he walked into his bedroom. He thought about all of the other times that he walked around the house like a sleepwalker. He fell onto the bed and instantly fell asleep, letting his mind wander into the bitttersweet memories of Mako.
She stared up at the stars as if she was searching for something, like when you lose a shoe and you look everyhere even places you knew it couldn't possibly be.
'I've done everything right do how come I don't feel any better?'
The next morning at the Gundam House, Quatra was in the kitchen enjoying his breakfast when Trowa walked in.
"Morining." Quatra said cheerfully as Trowa walked in. "How did you sleep?"
Trowa porred himself a cup of coffee and after a few sips looked over at his friend. "What did I tell you about me having no mental stimulation in my brain before I drink any coffee?" He was purposly stalling. He hadn't slept well for his head hurt the entire night, not even the asprins helped much.
Quatra blushed. "Well... was it something like... Don't make me think before I have my coffee for I'm about as smart as a rock." he stamered.
Trowa nodded as he drank.
"So how did you sleep?" Quatra tryed again.
Trowa put his coffee down. "Like this." and he laiyed his head down on the counter and pretended to sleep.
"Very funny." but Quatra still laughed a little. "Since when did you become a comedian?"
"I think there for I am." he stated in a scholar voice.
Quatra just had a funny look on his face and stuck his tounge out. 'Remind me to never ask Trowa a question he could make fun of.' he thought putting a mental note in his brain.
"You were always one to add mental notes in his head."
Quatra had a look of suprize on his face that his friend knew that. After a while he regained his compecture and answered. "You talk like that's a bad thing."
"Nope. To tell you the truth I used to write on my arms because I forget stuff. I tryed using peices of paper, I would stick them in my pocket and forget about them and I would wash my pants so... yeah... I still do it sometimes." he admitted a little embaressed.
"You never seice to amaze me do you?"
"Nope." he smiled a little.
"Morning." called Quatra as Wufei poured some coffee.
"Not... a... mroning.... person." he stated slowly trying to get his friend to understand.
Quatra seemed hurt but brushed that feeling off. "What's with you people and not being able to let the sun in?" he sounded a little annoyed.
"We are both not morning people..." Trowa started.
"And we both hate the sun in our eyes." Wufei finished. Both a little bit annoyed at Quatra but Wufei showed in more.
"You both are wierd." Quatra mad a face.
Wufei in turn raised one of his eyebrows. "You're one to talk."
They all laughed. "I don't think so." Quatra contridicted.
"To bad Dou isn't up to laugh to." Wufei stated and his face suddenly became serious. "Shit." he cursed. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." but none of them really knew if it was.
"My idea is that we should find a way to get Heero and Mako in the same room and then they would have to work everything out." Quatra stated. He and Wufei and Trowa were all in eating out to discuss to the ongoing problems.
"I agree. What about you, Trowa?" he looked over at his friend.
Trowa looked at both of them. HIs usual responce would be somewhere along the lines 'Are you crazy?! You can't just play with people!' But today he wasn't really paying attention. The reason was his head just hurt to damn much.
"Trowa what about you?" Quatra repeated looking at his friend in worry.
"Yeah...sure." But he knew he really wasn't
"You look pale. Do you want to sit down." Quatra sounded worried as he got up.
"I'm already sitting." he ment to be funny but Quatra didn't get it.
"At least he's joking." Wufei commented on the situation not really seeing what's wrong.
"Don't joke at a time like this." Quatra ordered Wufei.
"What did I do?" Wufei asked angrily. "He was joking first." he pointed to Trowa.
"He doesn't know what he's doing." Quatra explained rationatly.
"I think I do." But his friend just shook that off.
"You don't feel hot." he stated after putting his hand on Trowa's forehead. "But I wonder what's wrong?" it sounded more like a question as he looked at his friends.
"My head hurts a little." Trowa admitted rubbing his temples.
"Do you want to take so asprin?" he offered.
"Nope. Asprin doesn't help much."
"Now how would you know?" Quatra reasoned. "You're being a big baby."
"Yeah, poor baby." Wufei teased.
"Shut up." Trowa muttered a little embaressed. "I know because I had some last night and they didn't seem to help much."
"Why didn't you tell me?!" Quatra sounded esaperated.
"You mean you made me run into someone I didn't enjoy-that weak onna- all because you had to have the asprin!"
"Wufei shut up. If you aren't going to help you should leave." he turned to Trowa. "You should see a doctor."
Trowa only nodded knowing he couldn't argue.
"You're turn, have fun." Quatra stated.
"Yeah, like this is going to be fun." he muttered.
Quatra laughed. Wufei had already gone home because it really didn't seem like he could help any.
"Why does it have to be so cold?" Trowa muttered under his breath once he was shown his room.
"All of our patients say that. But things need to be steril. The temperature used to bother me to but not anymore. You get used to it."
'Obviously I wasn't quiet enough.' he thought.
"Now what seems to be the problem?" she asked as she was flipping through his files, making a few hums and huhs as she worked.
'Didn't Quatra tell them before? Or is this lady just trying to be annoying?' he thought. "My head, I have migares and they don't seem to be getting better."
"Did you take any medicine before and has it had any effect on preventing the pain?" she asked.
Trowa couldn't believe his ears. 'If I the medicine had prevented to pains why would I be here?' but he didn't. Instead he stated. "I took some Asprin last night but they didn't seem to help."
"Are you sure you took the right bottle of medicine?" she asked.
'I'm not even going to justifly that with an aswer.' /Just did./ 'Shut up.'
"Mr.?" she asked after he didn't answer.
'I have to answer otherwise she'll think of me rude.' /Why would you care if she thought of you rude?/ "Just shut up."
"Excuse me? Would you like to talk to the doctor now?" she sounded hurt, and ditzy.
Trowa sighed as she left, no use fighting right? He really did want you her to leave. After a few minutes the doctor arived
"Mr. Barton are you ready?" the doctor asked. He was realtivly young, about 30 and had short blonde hair. 'But he in no way looked like Quatra.' Trowa thought.
"Yeah I am." he stated.
"I hear you had a couple of problems with the nurse." he didn't sound angry, he didn't even sound suprized
"Yeah." Trowa admitted.
"You said that you were having headaches right?" he asked.
'Do I have to go through this all again?' he asked admazed. "That's right."
"Judy said you hadn't found any relief in pain killers."
"Judy?" he asked confused. "Do you mean the nurse?"
The doctor nodded. "Yes."
"How long have you had these headaches?" he asked.
"A couple of weeks I guess. It used to hurt on and off but now if hurts more often." he reasoned.
"I see." Trowa suddenly felt he should be lieing on a coch for all the questions he was asked.
"Where exactually does it hurt the most?" he asked not looking up from his papers.
"Right here." he pointed to his left temple.
"Okay. We'll do x-rays and then we'll look at them. Is that okay?" the doctor asked in his still monotone voice.
"Sure. I guess."
The doctor simply closed his file and left, Trowa following him.
"How did it go?" Quatra asked once Trowa entered into the hallway.
But before he could answer the receptionist spoke up. "The results should be in by the 10th. I'll see you back then."
Trowa nodded in return.
"X-ray?" Quatra sounded really worried. "You aren't dying on me are you?"
Trowa laughed. "Oh course not. It's just routine."
"Oh." he seemed embarressed.
"Do you want to go home?" he asked.
Quatra just nodded as they left. "Are you sure it's just routine?"
Trowa only shoke his head.
"Hmm... lets see... nope.... no way!" Lina stated after going through the various tourist handouts she got from the lobby.
"Relena really wouldn't enjoy seeing the largest alligator." she laughed. "She's scared solid of them, plus she thinks it's rude how the hand them." she tossed that paplet on the floor.
"She really would like the see Heero." she grinned a devilish grin.
Dou rolled over on his bed and looked over at the clock. "Hilde wouldn't be pleased if she knew that I was getting up at 3 p.m." he stated as he rolled out of bed and fell out. "But she broke up with me so she doesn't care about me anymore."
"But she did tell me that she wanted me to not change." he reminded himself.
"But who cares what she says." he said bitterly.
"How did everything go?" Wufei asked once Quatra and Trowa got home.
"Don't you even want to say welcome home?" Quatra asked plopping down onto the sofa exusted.
"Sure... Welcome home."
"Say it with a little more emotion." he shook his finger in front of Wufei's face.
Wufei looked over at Trowa for help who was only laughing. "Tell your boyfriend to be nice."
"Boyfriend?" Trowa's cheeks blushed. "What are you all talking about?"
"You are boyfriends right? Me and Dou were talking about it last night." Wufei seemed embaressed.
"Did I just hear my name?" Dou asked entering the room.
"Yeah." Wufei stated.
"So what did you guys say about me?" he asked curious.
"About what we talked about." Dou nodded.
"Last time I checked I was staight. What about you Quatra?" he looked over at his friend.
Quatra nodded. "I'm to."
Wufei looked down embaressed. "I"m sorry for bringing it up." he muttered. "Some one just change the subject quick." Everyone laughed.
"That's okay. But Trowa got back from the doctor and got some x- rays." Quatra looked a little worried as he played with his hands.
"X-rays?" Dou sounded equally worried.
"It's probably just nothing. I've been working to hard on this whole Heero thing." Trowa explained.
"What do you mean by 'Heero thing'?" Dou asked. "I swear you don't tell me anything."
"I'm sorry." Quatra said remorsefully.
"It's okay, you all can tell me now." he smiled trying to prove it was okay.
"Not that, about us getting into a little fight." Quatra explained.
"Fight?" Dou sounded confused. "I don't-oh yeah, that fight. It's nothing. I guess I was just on my last wits end about me and Hilde."
"Is there anything that I could do to make it all up to you."
"I'll think about it. Now I'm going to the kitchen to eat some breakfast." Dou got up to leave.
"It's 3 in the afternoon!" Trowa stated.
"I just got up." and with that he left.
Quatra shook his head and sighed obviously annoyed at his friend's habits. "What were you saying before the whole 'insedent'?" he looked at Wufei still a little blushed.
"Oh yeah... I asked you about what happened at the doctor." Wufei looked just as embaressed.
"Yeah, but that got answered earlier." he stated. "Maybe we could talk about Heero and Mako."
"We don't know a lot but maybe we could talk to Mako, take her out to dinner or something, try to get her mind off Heero." Trowa suggested.
"That's not a half bad idea." Wufei said smiling. "Wish I thought about that."
"Maybe you didn't think about it because you aren't as smart as me." Trowa teased.
Quatra laughed.
"Maccaroni... Ramane noodles... or Cereal?" Dou stated looking through the cabinets.
"Ramane noodle." he smiled as he opened the container and opened the microwave.
"Moshi Moshi." Mako stated after answering the phone.
"It's me Quatra." he said a little nervious.
"Quatra?" she sounded suprized. "I didn't expect this."
"You gave me your phone number. Should I have not called?" he sounded worried.
"You could call. But why did you call?"
"Because I'm calling on Trowa and Wufei's behalf." he started. 'Like they made me farkle and I lost.' he looked over at his friends with a deadly look on his face. "So I was wondering if you would like to go to lunch sometime?" he finished.
"Sure I guess. Tommorrow I have the day off." she offered.
"Tommorrow's good. But where do you want to go?" he asked.
"I don't really care. But you have to promise me one thing."
"What?" he asked switching the phone to his other hand.
"Promise you willn't bring Heero with you." she whispered softly.
"Why?" Quatra asked amazed. 'Why wouldn't she want Heero to come?' he shook his head.
"You can be so native sometimes." she teased. But the joke was neither funny or lighthearted and she offered a pathetic laugh.
Quatra laughed a little but was a little confused at her statement. 'Why does everyone think of me as native?'
"Dou your going to lunch with us tommorrow!" Quatra yelled as he entered the kitchen.
Dou looked at him with food in his mouth his face saying 'Why?'
"Don't look at me like that. You're going weither you want to or not." and with that Quatra left.

"Need to talk to you Kinal." Mako stated as she looked into her friends eyes as they reached her apartment.
"We don't need to talk about it." she replied moving her arms around as if to shew the thought away.
"I need to talk about it, Kinal. I need to talk about it to my friend." she opened the door and let her and her friend in.
Kinal let in and went inside.
"As you know I'm the daughter of an ex-general. Even though my father was rich I attended public schools because my dad believed it would do me good. I did well in practicly all of my classes but Heero was kind of a slacker and slept through most of his classes. But he was smart deep inside I knew that. He flew we to the stars..." she paused for a while as if reliving a moment.
"I thought you said that you were a virgin." Kinal couldn't believe she was actually saying that but she really wanted to know.
Mako blushed. "Not that way." she stamered. "It's kind of compicated but Heero loved the stars."
Kinal in turn blushed. "I understand now." a devilish grin started on her face. "Woud you have liked him to have shown you the stars?"

"I'll take that as a yes." Kinal was really enjoying herself.
"Shut up." she sounded angry but her face showned different as she smiled embarresed.
"Okay. But I want to know what happened next. This is sounding like a soap opera."
"Sure this makes me feel a lot better. But what would you call the name of my soap." she teased.
"Girl with a big heart sounds to lame." she relaxed some more on the sofa.
"Your right. But maybe I should write one. And I'm grateful you would call it that."
"You're stalling."
She laughed "Maybe. Maybe not. You decide."

Heero walked upstairs from the basement not bothering to turn on the light because he always knew where everything was. 'The perfect soldier.' he reminded himself his heart blistering.
He continued to walk into the kitchen for no reason, an unconsious decision.
Heero opened the refegerator and stared inside as if confused about why he opened it.
'I might as well get used to this.' he told himself as he walked into his bedroom. He thought about all of the other times that he walked around the house like a sleepwalker. He fell onto the bed and instantly fell asleep, letting his mind wander into the bitttersweet memories of Mako.
She stared up at the stars as if she was searching for something, like when you lose a shoe and you look everyhere even places you knew it couldn't possibly be.
'I've done everything right do how come I don't feel any better?'
The next morning at the Gundam House, Quatra was in the kitchen enjoying his breakfast when Trowa walked in.
"Morining." Quatra said cheerfully as Trowa walked in. "How did you sleep?"
Trowa porred himself a cup of coffee and after a few sips looked over at his friend. "What did I tell you about me having no mental stimulation in my brain before I drink any coffee?" He was purposly stalling. He hadn't slept well for his head hurt the entire night, not even the asprins helped much.
Quatra blushed. "Well... was it something like... Don't make me think before I have my coffee for I'm about as smart as a rock." he stamered.
Trowa nodded as he drank.
"So how did you sleep?" Quatra tryed again.
Trowa put his coffee down. "Like this." and he laiyed his head down on the counter and pretended to sleep.
"Very funny." but Quatra still laughed a little. "Since when did you become a comedian?"
"I think there for I am." he stated in a scholar voice.
Quatra just had a funny look on his face and stuck his tounge out. 'Remind me to never ask Trowa a question he could make fun of.' he thought putting a mental note in his brain.
"You were always one to add mental notes in his head."
Quatra had a look of suprize on his face that his friend knew that. After a while he regained his compecture and answered. "You talk like that's a bad thing."
"Nope. To tell you the truth I used to write on my arms because I forget stuff. I tryed using peices of paper, I would stick them in my pocket and forget about them and I would wash my pants so... yeah... I still do it sometimes." he admitted a little embaressed.
"You never seice to amaze me do you?"
"Nope." he smiled a little.
"Morning." called Quatra as Wufei poured some coffee.
"Not... a... mroning.... person." he stated slowly trying to get his friend to understand.
Quatra seemed hurt but brushed that feeling off. "What's with you people and not being able to let the sun in?" he sounded a little annoyed.
"We are both not morning people..." Trowa started.
"And we both hate the sun in our eyes." Wufei finished. Both a little bit annoyed at Quatra but Wufei showed in more.
"You both are wierd." Quatra mad a face.
Wufei in turn raised one of his eyebrows. "You're one to talk."
They all laughed. "I don't think so." Quatra contridicted.
"To bad Dou isn't up to laugh to." Wufei stated and his face suddenly became serious. "Shit." he cursed. "I'm sorry."

Trowa looked at both of them. HIs usual responce would be somewhere along the lines 'Are you crazy?! You can't just play with people!' But today he wasn't really paying attention. The reason was his head just hurt to damn much.
"Trowa what about you?" Quatra repeated looking at his friend in worry.
"Yeah...sure." But he knew he really wasn't

"He doesn't know what he's doing." Quatra explained rationatly.
"I think I do." But his friend just shook that off.
"You don't feel hot." he stated after putting his hand on Trowa's forehead. "But I wonder what's wrong?" it sounded more like a question as he looked at his friends.
"My head hurts a little." Trowa admitted rubbing his temples.
"Do you want to take so asprin?" he offered.
"Nope. Asprin doesn't help much."
"Now how would you know?" Quatra reasoned. "You're being a big baby."
"Yeah, poor baby." Wufei teased.
"Shut up." Trowa muttered a little embaressed. "I know because I had some last night and they didn't seem to help much."
"Why didn't you tell me?!" Quatra sounded esaperated.
"You mean you made me run into someone I didn't enjoy-that weak onna- all because you had to have the asprin!"

"All of our patients say that. But things need to be steril. The temperature used to bother me to but not anymore. You get used to it."
'Obviously I wasn't quiet enough.' he thought.
"Now what seems to be the problem?" she asked as she was flipping through his files, making a few hums and huhs as she worked.
'Didn't Quatra tell them before? Or is this lady just trying to be annoying?' he thought. "My head, I have migares and they don't seem to be getting better."
"Did you take any medicine before and has it had any effect on preventing the pain?" she asked.
Trowa couldn't believe his ears. 'If I the medicine had prevented to pains why would I be here?' but he didn't. Instead he stated. "I took some Asprin last night but they didn't seem to help."
"Are you sure you took the right bottle of medicine?" she asked.
'I'm not even going to justifly that with an aswer.' /Just did./ 'Shut up.'
"Mr.?" she asked after he didn't answer.
'I have to answer otherwise she'll think of me rude.' /Why would you care if she thought of you rude?/ "Just shut up."
"Excuse me? Would you like to talk to the doctor now?" she sounded hurt, and ditzy.
Trowa sighed as she left, no use fighting right? He really did want you her to leave. After a few minutes the doctor arived
"Mr. Barton are you ready?" the doctor asked. He was realtivly young, about 30 and had short blonde hair. 'But he in no way looked like Quatra.' Trowa thought.
"Yeah I am." he stated.
"I hear you had a couple of problems with the nurse." he didn't sound angry, he didn't even sound suprized
"Yeah." Trowa admitted.
"You said that you were having headaches right?" he asked.
'Do I have to go through this all again?' he asked admazed. "That's right."
"Judy said you hadn't found any relief in pain killers."
"Judy?" he asked confused. "Do you mean the nurse?"
The doctor nodded. "Yes."
"How long have you had these headaches?" he asked.
"A couple of weeks I guess. It used to hurt on and off but now if hurts more often." he reasoned.
"I see." Trowa suddenly felt he should be lieing on a coch for all the questions he was asked.
"Where exactually does it hurt the most?" he asked not looking up from his papers.
"Right here." he pointed to his left temple.
"Okay. We'll do x-rays and then we'll look at them. Is that okay?" the doctor asked in his still monotone voice.
"Sure. I guess."
The doctor simply closed his file and left, Trowa following him.
"How did it go?" Quatra asked once Trowa entered into the hallway.
But before he could answer the receptionist spoke up. "The results should be in by the 10th. I'll see you back then."
Trowa nodded in return.
"X-ray?" Quatra sounded really worried. "You aren't dying on me are you?"
Trowa laughed. "Oh course not. It's just routine."
"Oh." he seemed embarressed.
"Do you want to go home?" he asked.
Quatra just nodded as they left. "Are you sure it's just routine?"
Trowa only shoke his head.
"Hmm... lets see... nope.... no way!" Lina stated after going through the various tourist handouts she got from the lobby.
"Relena really wouldn't enjoy seeing the largest alligator." she laughed. "She's scared solid of them, plus she thinks it's rude how the hand them." she tossed that paplet on the floor.
"She really would like the see Heero." she grinned a devilish grin.
Dou rolled over on his bed and looked over at the clock. "Hilde wouldn't be pleased if she knew that I was getting up at 3 p.m." he stated as he rolled out of bed and fell out. "But she broke up with me so she doesn't care about me anymore."

"But who cares what she says." he said bitterly.
"How did everything go?" Wufei asked once Quatra and Trowa got home.
"Don't you even want to say welcome home?" Quatra asked plopping down onto the sofa exusted.
"Sure... Welcome home."
"Say it with a little more emotion." he shook his finger in front of Wufei's face.
Wufei looked over at Trowa for help who was only laughing. "Tell your boyfriend to be nice."
"Boyfriend?" Trowa's cheeks blushed. "What are you all talking about?"
"You are boyfriends right? Me and Dou were talking about it last night." Wufei seemed embaressed.

"It's probably just nothing. I've been working to hard on this whole Heero thing." Trowa explained.
"What do you mean by 'Heero thing'?" Dou asked. "I swear you don't tell me anything."
"I'm sorry." Quatra said remorsefully.
"It's okay, you all can tell me now." he smiled trying to prove it was okay.
"Not that, about us getting into a little fight." Quatra explained.
"Fight?" Dou sounded confused. "I don't-oh yeah, that fight. It's nothing. I guess I was just on my last wits end about me and Hilde."
"Is there anything that I could do to make it all up to you."
"I'll think about it. Now I'm going to the kitchen to eat some breakfast." Dou got up to leave.
"It's 3 in the afternoon!" Trowa stated.
"I just got up." and with that he left.
Quatra shook his head and sighed obviously annoyed at his friend's habits. "What were you saying before the whole 'insedent'?" he looked at Wufei still a little blushed.
"Oh yeah... I asked you about what happened at the doctor." Wufei looked just as embaressed.
"Yeah, but that got answered earlier." he stated. "Maybe we could talk about Heero and Mako."
"We don't know a lot but maybe we could talk to Mako, take her out to dinner or something, try to get her mind off Heero." Trowa suggested.
"That's not a half bad idea." Wufei said smiling. "Wish I thought about that."
"Maybe you didn't think about it because you aren't as smart as me." Trowa teased.
Quatra laughed.
"Maccaroni... Ramane noodles... or Cereal?" Dou stated looking through the cabinets.
"Ramane noodle." he smiled as he opened the container and opened the microwave.
"Moshi Moshi." Mako stated after answering the phone.
"It's me Quatra." he said a little nervious.
"Quatra?" she sounded suprized. "I didn't expect this."
"You gave me your phone number. Should I have not called?" he sounded worried.
"You could call. But why did you call?"
"Because I'm calling on Trowa and Wufei's behalf." he started. 'Like they made me farkle and I lost.' he looked over at his friends with a deadly look on his face. "So I was wondering if you would like to go to lunch sometime?" he finished.
"Sure I guess. Tommorrow I have the day off." she offered.
"Tommorrow's good. But where do you want to go?" he asked.
"I don't really care. But you have to promise me one thing."
"What?" he asked switching the phone to his other hand.
"Promise you willn't bring Heero with you." she whispered softly.
"Why?" Quatra asked amazed. 'Why wouldn't she want Heero to come?' he shook his head.
"You can be so native sometimes." she teased. But the joke was neither funny or lighthearted and she offered a pathetic laugh.
Quatra laughed a little but was a little confused at her statement. 'Why does everyone think of me as native?'
"Dou your going to lunch with us tommorrow!" Quatra yelled as he entered the kitchen.
Dou looked at him with food in his mouth his face saying 'Why?'
"Don't look at me like that. You're going weither you want to or not." and with that Quatra left.
