Chapter 3: Hello, Sunshine
"Passengars, please put on your safety belts, the plane will be landing in five minutes."
Quatre snapped his seat belt and peered out the window. 'Japan; you're just as beautiful as when I left you.' Smiling, he began to picture her again. She was laughing, begging him to hug her and kiss her.
"Q-man! Earth to Q-man!"
Quatre looked up at the confused and playful face of Duo. "Duo," he whispered, "turn around!"
Duo cocked an eyebrow. "Nano? Nazer?"
Quatre sweat-dropped. "It's 'Nani' and 'Naze.' Turn around before the stewardess-"
"Sir," a middle-aged woman motioned to Duo. "That plane hasn't landed yet. I suggest you turn around and sit in your seat." She left in a huff.
Duo made a face at her back, but turned around.
Quatre sighed and looked back out the window as the plane finally landed. 'I'm coming, Sunshine.'
*~*~ 'Oh great, just what I need. A test grade!' The test was grabbed into shaky hands and peered at.
"Well?" Piped the girl next to her. "How'd you do? I know I failed! See?"
Indeed, her friend had failed. A bright red 'F' was smiling at her from the paper. 'I passed.' "I passed!"
Her friend raised and eyebrow, then both, then laughed. "Great! We can celebrate! Milkshakes at the Crown Arcade, paid for by Lita!"
"Hey!" growled the brunette, shaking her own paper in response.
"Awl, come on Lita, I was gonna invite Andrew to join us. He'd love you if you paid for him!"
The brunette got a dreamy, dazed look on her face. "Andrew," she whispered.
"How'd you do Ames?" asked the bubbly girl.
"Passed."
"With flying colors," added the now sour-faced one.
Thus began a round of sweet laughter.
'I passed. I passed! If only you knew. You'd be so proud of me.' Soon she joined in on the laughter and looked forward to milkshakes. *~*~
"Hiiro! Hey Hiiro!" Duo hollered. "How do you say 'Thank you' in Japanese?" Duo was flipping madly through the Japanese word guide and getting more confused with each page.
"Arigatou." Hiiro muttered, grabbing the guide from out of Duo's hands and smacking the boy upside the head with it.
Duo rubbed his head and snatched the book back, sputtering a few indecent words (AN: which I will save for later in the story..).
Trowa was on the street corner outside of the airport calling a taxi. He hadn't gotten one yet.
Quatre and Wufei were waving their hands, trying to attract attention from the yellow cars, but failing miserably.
"Forget this work!" Duo yelled, jumping into the middle of the street and doing the twist.
"Idiot boy!" Wufei yelled, pulling the dancing Duo out of the street just as a taxi cab pulled up.
Duo grinned. "Two good things came from that. One, you didn't call me 'baka,' and two, I got is a taxi!"
The four others sighed. Duo would never change.
Luggage in the trunk, everyone piled in the car, Quatre in the passengar seat, they headed off to the location Quatre had mentioned: 3124 Brickland Drive, mailbox number 304.
*~*~ "Hurry up pyro! You're not one to just stand around looking dazed!"
Rei turned her head and smiled. 'Gomen, minna. Demo, something or someone is coming. And they feel so familiar.' She shook off the feeling and headed with her friends into the Crown Arcade.
*~*~ + ~**~ "Thank you, sir." Quatre handed the cab driver the money and waved as the man sped off in a yellow blur.
"Where are we?" Trowa asked, pointing to the large, homely looking house with trimmed hedges and flowers all over the place.
Quatre breathed in the fresh air and smiled. "Home." He replied.
*~*~ She looked up from the conversation she was having with her friends. 'Something's not right.'
"What's wrong, Rei?"
Rei ignored this and stood, going to the window. Looking outside, she found five boys standing in the yard, staring at the house. "Rei?" She questioned. Her friend had been acting like this the since the Crown Arcade.
"Are you expecting anyone?"
She supposed Rei was talking to her. "No, why?" In a flash, the raven- haired girl was down the stairs and yanking open the door, yelling at some people. "Baka." She muttered, hopping down the stairs along with the rest of her friends.
Quatre hadn't even rung the doorbell when the door opened to reveal an angry-looking girl. "Oh-"
"Oheya!" Duo yelped. "Watishi wo Duo." He threw out his hand.
Everyone, including all the girls now at the door, sweat-dropped. Duo found himself suddenly knocked out with the book, an angry Hiiro smirking.
"Kon'nichi wa," Quatre finished, speaking directly to the raven-haired girl. "Watashi wa Quatre Winner desu. Hajimemashite." He spoke with some difficulty, his Japanese rough.
Rei raised an eyebrow. "Quatre Winner, anata wa Amerika-jin desu ka?" she asked, her voice kinder.
Quatre smiled, at least he knew this much. "Hai, watashi wa Amerika-jin desu."
Rei didn't smile. "What are you doing here then?" she demanded in English, those who didn't understand (Trowa and the now awakening Duo) sighing in relief.
Quatre smiled. So she had known English all along. "I'm looking for a Ms-"
"Q-Quatre-kun?" whispered a voice behind the girls in the doorway.
Quatre took a deep intake of breath as they barrade of girls parted, revealing his Sunshine. He ordered himself not to cry and smiled. "Hello, Sunshine."
