The Tour: Part Three
"...and Heero, Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre." Duo finished.
"How come all of you guys can open it? Then what's the use of having this little handprint scanner thing?"
"Well we have access to all the room, sorry. Those hand print recognition locks are so that the other Gundam Trainees can't come into your room."
"Geez...fine, but you better ask to come in before you enter my room."
"Ha...I will don't worry. Let's see your room, ok?"
"Sure."
Duo and Acire entered the room and the door closed behind them. The room was a bit dark but everything was clearly visible. The room, to Acire, was awesome. The walls were gray and looked to be padded, but not padded like when a person goes insane and they put them in those padded rooms. This was just too exciting for her.
"Here, this is how you turn on the lights." Duo said.
He went next to the door where there was another little screen but only big enough for a fingertip. He touched the screen and the lights turned on.
"Wow...everything is all high tech here." Acire commented.
She saw the bed now. The sheets were gray, also. There was two doors on both sides of the bed.The one on the right had another handprint scanner next to it.
"That's your own lil' closet." Duo said pointing to the left door.
"And the other one?"
"Bathroom."
"Oh."
Acire went over to the closet and opened it. There was a small, kind of metallic gray, one-piece
suit hanging. It sort of reminded her of Rika's jumpsuit. Acire picked it up and showed it to Duo with a raised eyebrow.
"What's this for?"
"That is your training outfit."
"What!? It's too small!"
"It stretches. In fact why don't you to the bathroom and try it on? I will be here."
"Ummm...sure. Why not?"
Acire turned towards the bathroom door.
"Hey Acire?"
"Yeah?"
"If you have any trouble putting it on, I'll go in and help you." Duo said.
"Oh, you!" Acire said and laughed.
She went over to Duo and playfully socked him lightly on the shoulder. He laughed and then looked at her.
"What?"
"Nothing. Go try it on, now. The light in the bathroom is the same as the one in here. Remember to just touch it to turn it on and touch it again to turn it off."
"Ok. Gotcha."
Acire went to the bathroom and scanned her hand on the lock. The door slid open.
"What a fast learner."
Acire saw the light switch and tapped it. The lights turned on and the door closed. The bathroom, not surprisingly, was gray. There was a sink with a big mirror and a gray counter with white towels on them. There was even a toothbrush. Then there was a toilet and a shower.
More gray?, Acire thought.
Acire dumped the suit on the counter and took her backpack off and put in on the floor. She undressed herself until she was left in only her bra and underwear. She then spread her suit on the counter. It had a zipper from the neck to the crotch. She unzipped it and stepped into it. She laughed when she saw the suit had some built in, light weight shoes on it. She then put her arms into the long sleeves which had some gloves at the end of them. She finally zipped up the suit to her neck. Acire looked at herself in the mirror and blushed. The suit was comfortable but tight. Tight enough to show off her body. She thought maybe by dropping her long hair she could at least cover herself up a bit.
"Ok I've got it on...it fits so I think I'll take it off now." She called out to Duo.
"No wait let me see how you look."
"But...I...fine." Acire said.
Acire took a deep breath and pressed the scanner. It wouldn't open.
"Duo I can't open the door!"
"Oh that's right you have your gloves on the suit attached...the lock can't read your handprints. Take off your glove."
"Ok."
Acire took off one of the Velcro-fastened gloves and pressed her hand on the screen. The door opened and Duo was already in front of the door waiting for her to come out. He was grinning.
"Oh, wipe that dumb look off your face." Acire said.
"Wow. It looks good. Why did ya put your hair down?"
"Just because."
"Ok. So...turn the lights off."
"Oh that's right."
Acire turned around and stuck her hand into the bathroom. She reached for the little scanner and touched it. The lights went off and she took her hand out. The door closed. When she turned around, Duo was looking down at her and he quickly looked up.
"What were you doing?!" Acire asked.
"Nothing."
"Yes you were."
"No I wasn't."
Acire scowled and put her glove back on. She put her hands on her hips.
"So should I keep it on?"
"Yeah."
"Somehow I knew you were going to say that."
"...Heh..."
"I got to put the stuff in my backpack away."
"Ok."
Acire got her backpack from the bathroom and put it all away as Duo sat on the bed. She had something in the backpack she didn't remember packing in it. It was her mp3 player and the battery recharger for it.
I don't remember putting this in here...must have left it here from when I took it to school...Oh well, at least I won't be bored. , she thought.
When she was finished she turned to Duo.
"So you made Wufei apologize to me?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I thought it was the right thing to do. Anyways, why did you say you didn't have a home to go to anymore?"
"Well I might as well tell you. I ran away from home. Family problems. I just wish I didn't have to leave my little sister..."
"Don't worry, Acire, me and the boys will treat you like family!"
Acire raised her eyebrow.
"Wufei?" she said.
"Aaah, well, he is an exception. But he won't do it again."
"Ha...somehow I doubt that!"
"Ya well next time you can beat him up."
"That sounds like a good idea..."
"Hah...hey why did you put your zipper up so high? You look like you're gonna choke!"
"Well I did it because..."
"Hold on."
Duo stepped closer to her and Acire frozed.
What is he doing?! Acire thought, nervously.
"Relax, geesh I'm not gonna bite you. I just think that you would look better if..."
He grabbed Acire's zipper and pulled it down and he stopped at her chest. Acire eyes widenend.
"There, that's better! Let's continue our tour, ok? You still haven't seen what you are going to use for training!"
"...and Heero, Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre." Duo finished.
