Chapter 7: A New Day
Acire woke up and looked around her. She checked her watch. It was 8:55 a.m. Her parents should already have realized she was gone. Bu they wouldn't find her. She got up and went to the bathroom. She took a shower and got dressed in some jeans and a denim jacket. She put away her trainer suit in the closet. She looked through the bathroom's sink cabinet and found a lot of useful things, even a brush. She brush her hair straight down for a while, thinking of all that she has gone through.
When she finished, she took out her mp3 player and looked through all her songs. Due to the rise in technological advancement, Acire's mp3 player was able to hold a maximum of 3,000 songs. She put her earphones on and chose to hear Dream's "He Loves U Not".
The song was reall getting her pumped so she decided to dance and sing. She was almost done when she heard someone clapping from the door.
"I thought I told you to ask before coming in!" she said turning around, expecting Duo. It was Trowa, leaning on the entrance of the door.
"You're pretty good."
"Oh Trowa, what's up?"
"Nothing. Just came to see if you got a hang of everything, but you seem to be doing just fine, from what I can see."
"Yeah everything is cool. Don't worry."
"Ok later."
Trowa turned around and headed out.
"Trowa?"
"Yeah?"
"Heh...don't tell anyone, ok?"
"What? That you were prancing around and singing at the top of your lungs?"
"........Yeah."
"No problem."
As he walked out, she put her headphones around her neck and ran after him. The door closed behind her.
"Trowa, wait!"
"Hmmm? What is it?"
"Let me go with you. It's kinda lonely in the room, anyways."
"Sure."
She caught up to him and they both went to the auditorium. This time all the boys were sitting down in row of chairs. Wufei was sitting far away from where Heero, Duo, and Quatre where sitting.
Trowa looked at Acire and chuckled.
"What?"
"Why don't you go up on stage and perform for us?"
"You said you wouldn't tell!"
"I didn't tell them anything, I was talking to you."
"You said it pretty loud."
"No."
"Yes. Anyways I'll just sit on the first row. you go back there with the rest of the boys."
"Boys?" Trowa wondered. He shrugged and Heero, Duo and Quatre.
Acire sat down on the first row and stole glances at the 4 boys behind her. She then saw Wufei look right at her. She quickly turned around to face the front.
Man, what a weirdo, thought Acire.
Acire put her feet on the chair next to hers and laid down. She put her ear phones on again and looked at the ceiling. For 20 minutes she listened to song after song. Suddenly she turned it off, sat up, and looked at the guys.
"Hey!" she called them.
"Yeah?" Quatre responded.
"I just wanna know...do your Gundams have names?"
"Yup." Duo answered.
"Wing Zero." Heero said.
"Sandrock." Quatre said.
"Heavyarms." Trowa said.
"Deathscythe Hell." Duo said.
"Cool, and how about you Wufei?"
"What?" he said as if Acire interrupted him.
"What's the name of your Gundam?"
"Nataku."
"Did I tell you guys what Acire names her trainer suit?" Duo said to the rest of the guys.
Acire shook her head nervously at Duo.
"No, what did you call it, Acire?" Heero asked her.
"Heart....Breaker."
She quickly put the earphones on again to avoid any stupid comments on the name she chose. This was getting boring fast. Then she suddenly had a great idea. She took the earphones off and once again called the guys.
"Hey you guys!"
"Now what?" Trowa asked.
"Do you guys have an intercom system wired throughout this whole place?"
"Yeah actually we do. Why?" Heero said.
"Is there a way to hook up my music player to your intercom system so that we can here the music throughout the whole place?"
"What a ridiculous ide-" Wufei started.
"Hey! That'll be fun! Let's do it!" Duo said interrupting Wufei.
"Yeah, I kinda wanna hear something else besides Duo's voice." Quatre said.
"Whatever." Duo answered.
"I think I can do it." Heero said.
"Great! Here."
She unhooked the earphones and tossed the player to Heero. He caught it and went up on the stage. He went backstage and was there for a while. Finally he came out. He looked a bit worried.
"Well...? Where's the music?" Acire answered.
"I am sorry..." Heero said.
Acire went up on the stage.
"What do you mean?" Acire asked.
"I think I broke it." Heero said.
"What? What?!" Acie yelled.
She grabbed Heero's green tank top.
"Do you know how much that cost!?!?!?"
Suddenly the music started. It was "Smooth Criminal" from Alient Ant Farm. Heero grabbed Acire's hand and took it off his tank top. He smiled.
"Enjoy."
He walked passed her. She went back to her seat.
"You didn't have to make me mad like that." she muttered under her breath.
