Gundam Wing Fanfiction part 2
Starlight Sisters
Chapter2: MeetingTwo mornings later Jade was typing away at her computer waiting for Zechs to sign on. Then his screen name finally showed up on the monitor. All he typed back was: Meet me at the 8BlackBall club. I will be there at around midnight but I suggest you get there a couple of hours earlier than me because I am going to be pressed for time and I can't say for certain that I will make it there. You all know what to do.
Jade smiled. Yeah she knew what the reputation of the 8BlackBall club was. It was a pool hall and dance club under the same roof. She and the others had often spent free hours hanging out in that club before the beginning of the war. "Zechs just Instant Messaged me, and he wants to meet us at the 8BlackBall club tonight. The drop off will be there."
Lily stuck her towel wrapped head inside her door. "Really. Sounds good to me. Besides, it's about time we had some fun. You are working way too hard and need a real break."
Jade turned around in her chair to face Lily at the door. "What do you mean by I need a break? I have been trained to do this since I was younger than Kari."
"But that is just it Jade. You have been trained for this but you are human too. You do get tired and I don't care what you say about being the perfect soldier. No matter what you are still human made of flesh and blood. And a part of being human is to make mistakes. You just make less than the rest of us. Now start planning what you want to wear tonight and I will go tell the others."
Lily's head disappeared from sight and Jade heard the door leading from her room down the hall close. At times she almost hated caring so much about each of them. Woo and she had found each other when they both became captives in an OZ base a few months after 01 had self-destructed in Siberia. Lily and Steph had known each other since they were very young on account of their brothers being best friends. They had each found each other when the base that Woo and she were escaping from came under attack by Lily and Steph. They took them in with them. Later they would save the girl who would become the fifth member of their team from a burning palace where her mother and father had been killed by her own aunt who would kill her if she could ever find out where she was. Kari's child innocents help all of them become better people.
Jade stood up and stretched her limbs. Maybe I am working to hard. she thought to herself as she made her way into the living room. The lights of the colony were dimming and she knew she would have just enough time to get into the shower and throw on some clothes. It was very rare that she got to play pool and sing karaoke anymore. She loved to sing and perform and pool was something she was really good at.
She made her way into the bathroom and turned on the water.
Somewhere close by on the colony, 5 boys are trying to have a little fun.
It was just another quiet evening at the safehouse. Quatre was trying to learn to meditate. Wufei was instructing Quatre on his breathing technique. Heero was trying to find more information on those terrorists and Trowa was finding more out on the base. Duo was in the shower. Quatre was just breathing out when he heard the bathroom door open. He opened his eyes to find the violet-eyed pilot dressed in tight leather pants and a loose shirt that said, "Stop or you'll go blind" on the back. He had one silver stud in his right ear and his hair was done up in it's usual style. He heard Trowa come out of his bedroom and a loud gasp could be heard from Wufei.
"Maxwell what exactly do you think you are doing in that get up." Wufei growled.
"Last time I checked I didn't need a nanny to tell me what I could and couldn't wear Fei." Was Duo's casual remark.
"You don't Duo so don't mind Wufei. But if you don't mind me asking where are you going tonight." Quatre said getting up from the floor.
"Well I heard from Cathy that there was a really good nightclub called the 8BlackBall around here and I thought I would go and check it out. Why you want to come Quatre?"
Quatre cocked his head to the side a sure sign that he was thinking seriously about the idea. "Sure why not. I need a break anyway. Why don't you come with us Trowa?"
Trowa looked a little awkward for a moment and asked, "The 8BlackBall is a pool hall right Duo?"
"Pool hall and dance club."
"Well alright sounds good to me."
"Can I come?" Wufei said sounding a little unsure.
Duo crossed his arms over his chest and gave the former Shinglong pilot a cynical look. "Woo-man wants to come and play pool with the big boys?"
He just shrugged his shoulders "I have never been to one."
Duo looked shocked. His mouth hung open and just kind of swayed there for a moment. Then he quickly closed his mouth and just shook his head. "We are just going to have to remedy that."
The door to Heero's room opened and out popped the perfect soldier. "I just got all of the stats for our next mission. They will be printed out by tomorrow and we will begin going over then in the afternoon." He said heading for the kitchen.
"Hey wait up Mr. Perfect Soldier. Look the rest of us are going out and pretending we have a life. You want to come?" Duo remarked bounding over to him and turned him around by the arm.
"Why would I want to do that?"
"Well I guess you wouldn't" Duo said a little disappointed. Then, he resumed his happy form. "Damn Heero haven't you ever met anyone who could get you to have a little bit fun or at least pretend you have a life."
Surprisingly that seemed to have done the trick. For a fleeting moment if Quatre hadn't know a little better he would have thought that was a type of pain written across his face. What ever it was it was going in a fleeting instant. "I didn't say I wouldn't go."
Duo was ecstatic. "Well alright. We are all going. I was planning to leave in a half an hour. Is that all right with the rest of you?"
They all nodded their heads and headed to their rooms to get ready for the evening.
Forty-five minutes later outside of the 8BlackBall club.
"Check it out guys." Duo was saying over the music blaring from the speakers. The entire place was hazy from all of the smoke in the air. Techno lights were blinking on and off in a verity of color. It was amazing. The entire place was crowded with people moving and singing to a popular song on the stereo system. Off to the side you could hear the cue ball hitting the others at the start of a game. Duo was waving his hand out invitingly and walking toward the sounds of clashing pool balls and pool sticks.
"Well what do ya say Trowa," Duo said tossing a pool stick at him, "want to see if you can beat me at more than mobile suit combat?"
Trowa just smiled and grabbed the pool stick in midair. Quatre racked the pool balls together while Duo asked whether or not Trowa wanted to break or not. Trowa ended up breaking and losing to the first game against Duo. Quatre almost hated to admit it but Duo seemed to be pretty good at pool. Wufei and Heero spent their time sitting down at a nearby table drinking water while Quatre sat at a stool close to the pool table watching. Trowa won the second game. Then, Quatre, Wufei, Heero, and Trowa all played teams while some girl who wanted to dance hauled off Duo. That is when they took the stage.
Meanwhile on stage four girls preparing to change their destinies forever.
Jade opened her eyes when she heard their names being introduced. "And now welcoming the fan favorites here at the 8BlackBall club. Please give it up for the Stars." A loud cheer came up and you could here the people chanting for them. Jade turned to Woo at her right. Woo gave her a sly smile and nodded her head. She turned to Steph at her left. She just nodded her head. She smiled and faced the crowd loving the adrenaline that was rushing through her body. She hadn't done this in a long time. It was the best way she knew to have fun.
The microphone was attached to headphones she wore leaving her hands free. Her pants clung to her legs like a second skin and her halter-top was so small that it showed most of her midriff and her leather jacket with all of its charms jangled all around her. Her hair was in its customary braid. She felt like any other normal crazy twenty year old out with her friends.
The lights came on and she saw the faces of the people who were screaming their names. Then their were those who weren't cheering because the had never scene or heard of them before. They were about to find out why they were the fan favorite here at the 8BallBlack club. "Yo people how is everyone tonight. Yo pump of the volume DJ. We got to get this party started." Woo yelled into her microphone.
Woo rarely had this much fun. When she did she savored it to the end. They all did. The volume of the speakers rose but you could barely heard them over the shouting of the crowd. Jade and the others formed a single file line across the stage. The old earth song that they were about to sing was still popular to this day. It was the song that had made them popular here at the 8BlackBall club and it was always one that they had fun with. The lights dimmed the spotlight focused on her and she was ready. Shifting her hips back and forth looking at the crowd she sang, "Its after midnight and she's on your phone." The lights then focused for an instant on all of them as they sang, "phone". Jade brought out her hand and wiggled her fingers singing, "Saying come over because she's all alone. I could tell it was your ex by you tone." Then she shrugged her shoulders singing, "why is she calling after so long," Then they all slid back and forth across the stage with the lights bright singing, "Now what is it that she wants. Tell me what is it that she needs. Did she hear about the brand new beinze that you just bought for me? Cause ya'll didn't have no kids. Didn't share no mutual friends. And you told me that she turn trick when ya'll broke up in ninety-six'."
And so the song went on. They moved from the sage to the dance floor dancing with some people who knew their dance moves to this song. Then on the last end of the song they moved back to the stage and ended with a pose. "Thank you. Your all a beautiful audience." Woo said and they left the stage. A few minutes later they came out from the backstage door. They received a bunch of congratulations and offers to dance but all they wanted to do was play some pool. That is where Zechs would meet them at the pool tables. That is when three of the five-gundam pilots came into view. Their was the handsome but sometimes careless Duo Maxwell staring openly at them and the mysterious Trowa Barton holding a pool stick trying not to stare at them. Duo was shaking Quatre Rababa Winner and pointing toward them. Oh great just perfect. Now we have to…wait do they know about…NO of course they couldn't know about us. The information hasn't been there long enough for them to access it and figure out about Kari and us.
Duo swaggered over to them and casually extended his hand to Jade. "Hello their lady. You know either our hairstyle must be common or great minds think alike. I am Duo." Jade extended her hand and shook Duo's in the American custom she had been told. "Strong silent type huh? I have been around your type long enough to know."
"No I am not that silent. I am sorry for being rude. You just sort of surprised me. We don't often meet people as polite as you. You can call me Janice Metzger." You don't want the Gundam pilots to suspect who we are. And acting like your brother would do it. Don't get your hackles up Jade or you will give up who you are!
"Well then do the rest of you guys have names or are we suppose to call you all Janice?" Duo said looking past her to stare openly at Woo. If he only knew that between her cleavage and inside the heel of her shoe is enough firepower to blow this entire club to bits.
"No you can call me Ching." Woo said moving over to where the pool sticks were and idly grabbing one.
The other two moved toward the other pool tables and began racking the balls. Then Lily moved pass Duo and stared straight at Trowa. "I am Arial. Play a little one on one against me?" She stuck out her thumb indicating one of the pool tables. Congratulations Lily you finally get to test you skills against a gundam pilot. And you just gave me a great idea.
"Hey Q-man did you see where Wufei and Heero went?"
Quatre was finding it hard to keep his eyes off of the dark haired beauty before him. He finally snapped back into reality. "Uh yeah they went to the bathroom. They should be back soon." Steph was just leaning back observing. Just as Lily was about to hit the cue ball the sounds of shattering glass and gunfire could be heard as they all instinctively dunked for cover.
