It had taken three days for the phone line to be connected but with
everything else that had to be done in those days it was hard to notice it
, Trel hadn't complained because she could still send and receive e-mail
from the V-box plus they could still get some calls out to let everyone
know all was going well and that yes they were still alive.
Of course the day it had finally came on was the day they had all decided to check out the closest beach , ,after all it was a great day for it and it was better then sitting at home on a warm day like it had turned out to be , ,leaving a note on the door to call if it was an emergency. Hopefully if anyone needed them they would call as Jason had designed the security system and that alone was bound to be hazardous to anyone's health but it wasn't like they were being hunted down or needed to hide , in this world they were just six kids that were no different from any other group , out for fun , willing to learn and still seemed care free.
There had been a lot there but that didn't stop them , Savanna and Jason had brought surf boards but mostly they just played in the water , throwing a ball around or a game of water tag , ,they had spent the whole day there and had only packed up as the sun was going down , grabbing supper along the way cause no one wanted to cook when they got home. It was the next morning before anyone really knew the line had been connected , ,it had rung in the living room and everyone ran to get it , Savanna had been closest and grabbed it up and away from Jason who had charged it and was so close.
"Hello ... oh hey mom , what's up?" She smiled triumphantly at Jason who just turned down his bottom lip and sulked away.
Of course everyone had retreated as it really wasn't polite to listen in on a conversation. "Well if that line works then the one for the computers must be up and running too" laughed Amy , taking off upstairs to e-mail her brothers about all the things they'd been doing since she left. Trell laughed after her as Niki went back to stringing a sea shell wind chime from the shells she had collected up the day before. Jason and Matt were so engrossed in their video game that they almost jumped when Savanna spoke from behind them.
"Jason , we did tell all of our friends where we were going right?" She had a puzzled look on her face.
"Of course , why do you ask?" He hadn't even taken his eyes from the game , it was a silly question for her to ask.
"Well mom said two of them came to the door asking for us , I guess they went to your place first and when your mom said you wern' t there they went to mine ...." said Savanna , a puzzled look gracing her face for a moment before she shrugged and sat down.
"Oh likely some joker from school trying to sell something stupid" was all Jason bothered to to say , his mind to busy trying to beat Matt that the info didn't bother him much.
"Oh well , if it was important they'd call" She laughed , Jason was likely right after all
But the day had gone by with out a phone call from friends , just families and of course the school to confirm the number plus those who lived there. But tomorrow was the general assembly to introduce them to the school, to collect their schedules and even investigate the school before classes began. It was going to be a boring day but that was something they'd just have to get use to , either that or just get use to being stuck in this world instead of where they really wanted to be.
It was five am when Trel woke to her cell phone ringing off the coffee table she had kept by the futon , after the third try at reaching out for it she cracked her eyes and grabbed it , hitting the ok button to accept the incoming call.
"Hello ..." her voice was full of sleep but she tried to pay attention to who ever it was that was calling.
"Trella , you sound like your still in bed , it's ten o'clock girl , get up and talk to me" it was her uncle , she should have known , he never did have a concept as to what time zones could do to someone.
"Uncle Bryce , it's only five here ...... what's up that your calling anyway?" Sure he'd call to socialize but not usually long distance.
"Your boyfriend was just out here , poor guy looked like he had walked all the way out here from town , was almost froze too , but it's not like he was dressed for alot of walking either" his voice poured his amusement out , she had always insisted she never had a boyfriend and didn't want one either but the kid that had been out there was adamant that she was his girlfriend.
"How many times I gotta tell you Uncle B , I don't have a boyfriend , it would be hard enough with one of those but all the way up there would be impossible" she should have known , he'd called to tease her some more.
He laughed , she must be pulling his chain now , course this kid could have been someone from the US come looking for her too , but that would have been a hell of a way to hitch hike. "Well maybe he was from down there , but I know the cup of coffee didn't drink itself so I had someone here at the table this morning"
"I'll check it out at a more decent hour okay , now I really need some sleep , we've gotta be at the school today ..... tell Dad I love him too" she had giving in as to trying to make any sense out of what he was saying , ,her mind to fogged over with sleep to even try decrypting his call now.
"Okay luv , but if he shows up down there then let me know just who he is." He chuckled , he wasn't about to tell her that he'd sent the kid to the bus terminal with Jennifer , she had to go right by Toronto on her was back to Manitoulan Islands , she did have a paper to run there after all , but had been more then happy to have some company on the way back.
"Yeah , when I figure it out I will ..... night" she didn't even bother to wait for his comment as she shut it off and rolled over , ,it was just way to early for phone calls of any type but his teasing just required a good mood which was not the way to describe her first thing in the mornings.
One level up a second cell phone had rang , of course Trel had not hear it or she would surely have cursed the epidemic of phones keeping her from that little extra sleep she wanted.
Nikita had woken when the jingle of her phone had sounded beside her bed , ,she'd rolled over , checked the number then hit the send button to hear her mother's voice telling Chase to remember his appointment later that day.
"Hey Mom" she wasn't about to chide her own mother about the time , after all it was likely just a mother thing to get worried or lonely.
"Morning Niki , I hope I didn't wake you but I thought I would call and ask you why you never introduced me to the nice young man who came to visit me this morning , he came to call after you , guess he wanted to go out for breakfast as it was around eight when he dropped by , the poor thing look struck when I told him you'd gone down there to go to school." She was the one doing the chiding which had taken Nikita back ...... she didn't really have a lot of friends back in NY and no one that knew where she lived.
"Whoa ... slow down mom , what guy .... I don't have many friends left there , besides Jess that is , besides everyone from school knew I'd won a scholarship so why would I stick around there , a much better aquatics program was available down here." Niki was now confused , she looked at the clock to check the time and did the calculating that the time zones added to the time. "Besides mom .... it's like ten over there , if he was there at eight then why didn't you call me so I could find out who it was"
"Awh dear , you still do need your sleep , what college kid is up at eight when there is no school after all , I figured I would just let you sleep alittle longer"her mothers voice had gone from berating to comforting in an instant.
"Well actually it's like five I think , but that's okay , I had to wake up sooner or later" her own mind lost as to who would come looking for her. "Are you sure it wasn't Jess though?"
"No , he was shorter with black hair dear" her voice having been interrupted by Chase as he shouted from the background "Why didn't she tell us she had a secret admirer , he seemed to quiet during breakfast for her to have really known him much"
"Mom , you invited him in for breakfast" now she was wide awake , her mom was sweet but a total stranger at the breakfast table was something to worry about in her books.
"Well he did arrive while we were eating , I just invited him in to join us , he looked almost upset when I told him you weren't here" she countered , she hadn't really thought about it much , she just wanted the poor guy to feel better.
"Don't worry about it mom , was likely just someone from class that figured I was gonna stick around or something , if you see him then just give him the phone number , I'm sure we can get it figured out" she laughed , her Mom would never change , anything for a friend.
"Well I did , I gave him the number and the address incase he wanted to write you so you'll likely hear from him soon" her Mom cheered up instantly , hopefully this time she'd get a boyfriend out of it all , she'd been alone way to long and besides Angel she really hadn't made much in friends.
"Okay , thanks Mom , but all the same I think I might just try for a little more sleep still , I'll call you after the introduction ceremony and let you know how it went okay?" Well with that problem solved there was little else to do but try to curl back up and go to sleep.
"Okay , you have fun and say hi to everyone for me will you?" She had met them all a few times and they seemed like good kids , well she knew Angel real well so she had to send her best wishes along to them all.
"Yes Mom , night" she grinned and hung up , okay so she wasn't as worried as she should be , her Mom was a pretty good judge of character and if she said the kid was okay then she'd be willing to believe her.
The whole house came to life about the same time , they had all set the alarm clock and even the snooze button couldn't stop the day from passing them by , and with a few loud grumbles they left on foot for the school , five minutes really did not warrant breaking out car keys and a few hours later they had all met up in the lunch room for a break and to compare their courses.
After that they'd split up again to check out the classes , with the general assembly over and done with they had the afternoon to themselves to meet the teachers and find all the rooms , almost as fun as a treasure hunt without the actual treasure.
It was Jason that had noticed something was wrong first , he had left the school as he lost interest in this meet the teacher thing , that was a parents kind of thing so he'd just found the classes and left , he was half way back to the apartment when he heard it , his alarm was going off and it was no where near quiet either.
When he got there the door was wide open but not a soul in sight , he went in and checked around after turning the noise off but it didn't look like a single person had even been caught in it which disappointed him , Matthew , Nikita , and Trel clattered in not to long afterwards , having gotten reports about alot of noise coming from an old factory just off campus.
"Man , I don't believe this ..... this thing should have caught them , no one could have gotten out of it ...." Jason raged on , the nets having been cut and not so much as even a little drop of blood on the floor.
"Jason , what's going on , the whole campus knows about the noise by now" was all Matt got in before Jason turned , his face contorted in rage at the destruction of his invention.
"How the hell do I know , I just got here and had time to check over these ones , haven't even had time to check the rooms or upstairs yet" he said as he threw his hands up.
"Okay , Niki check the bedrooms , Trel check the common rooms , I'll check around the outside incase they are still here and Jas , you check the cameras , see if they picked anything up" Matt knew they needed a plan but Jason was already flipping out so this would just have to do till they had some solid info.
Trel ran for the pool room , from there up the stairs that lead to their storage room , a small gym , the computer room and then finally the roof while Nikita had gone upstairs first and started looking in her room , then took the shortcut over to Matt's room , passed by the storage room to check Amy's room , then down the stairs in the Greenhouse/pool room to check Trels , Savannas and finally Jasons room before coming back into the living room looking flustered.
"I don't know about the rest of you guys but my room's been riffled through , all the rooms looked messed really , but no one was in em ...." she said , her eyes more on the video Jason was playing back over the TV.
"Well everything looked pretty much undisturbed in my areas , all but the computers which were shot ..... literally shot , bullet holes in almost every hard drive ....." Trel said as she came down the main stairs which surrounded the living room/ kitchen area , looking around for Matt. "The landlady is gonna be spitting bullets if they damaged the walls though"
She had only gone a few steps from the front door when Matt was thrown in and it slammed shut , but when Matt ran into Trel they both ended up on the floor in a mass heap of tangled limbs.
There at the door was Heero and Trowa , the later looking out the pep hole while Heero looked over what part of the group was there at the moment. "Well there's no doubt that they beat us here now"
Trowa turned and didn't like what he saw. "Where's the other two , there is only four here"
Trel had finally rolled Matt off her and had gotten to her own feet to see their company. "Great , we try to see the for the last few years and they come here , saves a lot of problems"
The two gundam pilots did not look as happy about the news as the Americans did though. "Where is Savanna and Amy?" Asked Heero, concern actually creasing his brow.
"At school I think" said Nikita calmly , that was where they all had been up to twenty minutes ago.
Heero and Trowa look at each other in silence , silently considering something as Jason goes back to his video , knowing that there is more to this whole thing then they knew but it would come out in it's own time.
"Fine , no one in or out till we get back with them , understand?" It was a direct order to Matt fro Heero , his patented death glare having been the enforcing point that left no room for questions.
Matt tried to stand after they left but almost fell , Trel had caught him and was not pleased. "Matt , you been drinking or something .... what is wrong with you?"
"Bloody dart got me , anyone got a way to fix that or am I just suppose to sleep it off and call you in the morning doc?" Even now he was trying to keep his humor ..... if those two were here then it was likely all of them were , but would they have sent Relena with them , that was just what he hoped he was going to wake up too.
"Nik , you got something that'll help out here ?" Trel questioned as she pulled him towards the couch , that got Jason up off his duff to help pull him towards the couch.
"I'm good , go with her , they've gotten in once and I don't wanna chance them getting in again" was all Trel said , Matt may have been bulky but it wasn't beyond her own abilities to drag him over to a couch.
Jason raced up after Niki while Trel laid their leader out on the couch , the only thing she could have done was already way past , she pulled the dart out but to even bother cutting his leg would be pointless now , this stuff had been there for more then just a moment so it couldn't be contained now.
Just then her cell phone rang from her bedroom , she ran in and grabbed it , grabbing her sword off the wall before she left the room , shutting the door and answering the phone." Hello ...?"
"Trel , we've got a real problem , I've just had a guy trailing me all over the school , I think I lost him but Amy and I were just paged through the office ..... what the hell is going on." It was Savanna's voice on the other end.
"Okay , where exactly are you , I'll grab Jason and we'll come get you" she was not about to ignore her friend no matter what Yuy said.
"I hid out in the weight room at the school , it's dark enough but that doesn't answer my question."
Trel shook her head and walked back to the living room. "When your boyfriend explains it to us then you'll know as much as we do , just stay there and we'll get you , stay hidden though."
She shut the phone off and grabbed Jason , leaving Niki the sword just incase it was needed. "If they get back before we do then we are headed to the weight room for Savanna." She told Niki quietly , she wasn't sure about whether the place had been bugged but was not about to take any chances. "Use the sword if you need it okay?"
Niki smiled alittle and nodded , Trel grabbed Jason and they left the door , locking it behind them as they set out at a dead run towards the school.
Ten minutes later the two pilots had returned empty handed and not looking to pleased about it either , they had paged Amy and Savanna to the office then had looked around but to no avail.
"Hey , did Jason and Trel find you , they had a call from Savanna and went to the weight room to get her , they did find you guys right?" Nikita's voice was full of worry , she had found something to counter most of what ever was in Matt's system but he was still groggy which definetly made for bad company so she had been happy to see someone finally return.
They would have answered her but there was a knock at the door , Trowa carefully slid up to it and checked outside before opening it to admit a very out of breath Quatre , followed by Jason and Wufei looking just as red in the face.
"Well well , one of the lost sheep rounded up , any sign of the other three?" Heero asked , not even bothering to let them catch their breath.
"What do you expect Yuy , we were lucky to find this one and he ran into us when it comes to it ....." Wufei's quiet voice came.
"What the hell is going on and where the hell is Savanna?" Jason finally blew , they'd made it to the gym with no problems but there had been no sign of Savanna anywhere , that was when they heard footsteps coming from within the room and split up , hoping to cause more then just alittle confusion to whom ever it was that was moving around.
"The party can start now , we've finally made it" came a voice from the front door which ended up being met by four pistols pointed in that very direction.
"Hey okay , not my fault it's just not a party without me" joked Duo , Relena well hidden behind him as he reached back and scratched the very spot where his braid left his head in a relaxed manner.
"Shut the door Duo , we don't need to lose anymore then we already have" snapped Wufei , he was really just not in the mood for the loud young man at the moment.
Duo turned and shut the door , leaving Relena to walk in , and notice an almost sleeping Mat laying on the couch. "Oh no , what happened to him"
Quatre's shoulders hunched , they had been to late to warn them about this and now they'd lost half the group. The other side had won this time and the bad thing was that these plans had been tripped across almost a week ago but they couldn't find the American pilots to have protected them , but with half the group still here that was the only thing they had to their advantage.
Of course the day it had finally came on was the day they had all decided to check out the closest beach , ,after all it was a great day for it and it was better then sitting at home on a warm day like it had turned out to be , ,leaving a note on the door to call if it was an emergency. Hopefully if anyone needed them they would call as Jason had designed the security system and that alone was bound to be hazardous to anyone's health but it wasn't like they were being hunted down or needed to hide , in this world they were just six kids that were no different from any other group , out for fun , willing to learn and still seemed care free.
There had been a lot there but that didn't stop them , Savanna and Jason had brought surf boards but mostly they just played in the water , throwing a ball around or a game of water tag , ,they had spent the whole day there and had only packed up as the sun was going down , grabbing supper along the way cause no one wanted to cook when they got home. It was the next morning before anyone really knew the line had been connected , ,it had rung in the living room and everyone ran to get it , Savanna had been closest and grabbed it up and away from Jason who had charged it and was so close.
"Hello ... oh hey mom , what's up?" She smiled triumphantly at Jason who just turned down his bottom lip and sulked away.
Of course everyone had retreated as it really wasn't polite to listen in on a conversation. "Well if that line works then the one for the computers must be up and running too" laughed Amy , taking off upstairs to e-mail her brothers about all the things they'd been doing since she left. Trell laughed after her as Niki went back to stringing a sea shell wind chime from the shells she had collected up the day before. Jason and Matt were so engrossed in their video game that they almost jumped when Savanna spoke from behind them.
"Jason , we did tell all of our friends where we were going right?" She had a puzzled look on her face.
"Of course , why do you ask?" He hadn't even taken his eyes from the game , it was a silly question for her to ask.

"Uncle Bryce , it's only five here ...... what's up that your calling anyway?" Sure he'd call to socialize but not usually long distance.

"Okay luv , but if he shows up down there then let me know just who he is." He chuckled , he wasn't about to tell her that he'd sent the kid to the bus terminal with Jennifer , she had to go right by Toronto on her was back to Manitoulan Islands , she did have a paper to run there after all , but had been more then happy to have some company on the way back.

"I'm good , go with her , they've gotten in once and I don't wanna chance them getting in again" was all Trel said , Matt may have been bulky but it wasn't beyond her own abilities to drag him over to a couch.
Jason raced up after Niki while Trel laid their leader out on the couch , the only thing she could have done was already way past , she pulled the dart out but to even bother cutting his leg would be pointless now , this stuff had been there for more then just a moment so it couldn't be contained now.
Just then her cell phone rang from her bedroom , she ran in and grabbed it , grabbing her sword off the wall before she left the room , shutting the door and answering the phone." Hello ...?"
"Trel , we've got a real problem , I've just had a guy trailing me all over the school , I think I lost him but Amy and I were just paged through the office ..... what the hell is going on." It was Savanna's voice on the other end.
"Okay , where exactly are you , I'll grab Jason and we'll come get you" she was not about to ignore her friend no matter what Yuy said.
"I hid out in the weight room at the school , it's dark enough but that doesn't answer my question."
Trel shook her head and walked back to the living room. "When your boyfriend explains it to us then you'll know as much as we do , just stay there and we'll get you , stay hidden though."
She shut the phone off and grabbed Jason , leaving Niki the sword just incase it was needed. "If they get back before we do then we are headed to the weight room for Savanna." She told Niki quietly , she wasn't sure about whether the place had been bugged but was not about to take any chances. "Use the sword if you need it okay?"
Niki smiled alittle and nodded , Trel grabbed Jason and they left the door , locking it behind them as they set out at a dead run towards the school.
Ten minutes later the two pilots had returned empty handed and not looking to pleased about it either , they had paged Amy and Savanna to the office then had looked around but to no avail.
"Hey , did Jason and Trel find you , they had a call from Savanna and went to the weight room to get her , they did find you guys right?" Nikita's voice was full of worry , she had found something to counter most of what ever was in Matt's system but he was still groggy which definetly made for bad company so she had been happy to see someone finally return.
They would have answered her but there was a knock at the door , Trowa carefully slid up to it and checked outside before opening it to admit a very out of breath Quatre , followed by Jason and Wufei looking just as red in the face.
"Well well , one of the lost sheep rounded up , any sign of the other three?" Heero asked , not even bothering to let them catch their breath.
"What do you expect Yuy , we were lucky to find this one and he ran into us when it comes to it ....." Wufei's quiet voice came.
"What the hell is going on and where the hell is Savanna?" Jason finally blew , they'd made it to the gym with no problems but there had been no sign of Savanna anywhere , that was when they heard footsteps coming from within the room and split up , hoping to cause more then just alittle confusion to whom ever it was that was moving around.
"The party can start now , we've finally made it" came a voice from the front door which ended up being met by four pistols pointed in that very direction.
"Hey okay , not my fault it's just not a party without me" joked Duo , Relena well hidden behind him as he reached back and scratched the very spot where his braid left his head in a relaxed manner.
"Shut the door Duo , we don't need to lose anymore then we already have" snapped Wufei , he was really just not in the mood for the loud young man at the moment.
Duo turned and shut the door , leaving Relena to walk in , and notice an almost sleeping Mat laying on the couch. "Oh no , what happened to him"
Quatre's shoulders hunched , they had been to late to warn them about this and now they'd lost half the group. The other side had won this time and the bad thing was that these plans had been tripped across almost a week ago but they couldn't find the American pilots to have protected them , but with half the group still here that was the only thing they had to their advantage.
