It was around 10 when Shannon and the Gundam Boys finally showed up to the library. Kathleen had been waiting since 9, pulling on her hair and jumping frantically. When they reached her in the back, she examined them closely, checking for bruises, scratches, or broken limbs. They were all perfectly well; that made Kathleen sigh with relief. At least they didn't kill each other last night. "So, you all finally got here! What took you so long?" She asked. "Well, Duo and Trowa are late sleepers and when we tried to wake them up, they pounced on us and it took us a while to confince them that we weren't there to kill them." Shannon replied, sighing wearily. "It's not my falte that I'm jump when I wake up. I've been attacked too many times while I'm sleeping. So I always keep my guard up." Trowa said. "Well, it doesn't matter now anyway. At least your here. So you guys want to walk around town for a while? There hasn't been any one here all morning and the librarians said that they didn't need us." Kathleen said, waiting for an answer. When the 6 nodded, they headed out of the tiny library and onto the streets of Valdese. There wasn't much there really, but there were always people to pester if you looked hard enough. They went down to the local bakery and bothered Kathleen's mother that worked there for a while, but then she finally had enough and threw them all out. So the search for something to do went on until they came to the diner in town. Duo was hungary again by then, so they went in to order a milk shake. "What can I do for you?" asked the smiling waitress behind the counter. Duo ordered a strawberry milkshake, Heero had some fries, and the rest shared a banana split. They found a table to wait for their order and started talking. They discussed what life was like as a soldier and the government system in Kathleen and Shannon's world was like. The two girls got the chance to ask all of the questions that every gundam fan is dying to know. Like was Heero ever interested in Relena? Or about Wufei's marriage? How Duo got his braid so long? What did Trowa do before becoming a pilot? And finally how many sisters did Quatre really have? The conversation was very pleasant until the waitress came to give us our food. She made the grave mistake of coming up behind Heero, who was sitting on the edge of the booth. He was so startled when she came up behind him that he pulled out his gun and pointed it at the frightned girl's head. She screamed, dropped the food, and ran behind the counter, screaming at the top of her lungs that she would call the police. So the 7 had to run away as fast as possible, going all the way across town before stopping behind the dollar store. "Heero... what were... you thinking... pointing a gun at her?" Kathleen asked between pants. Heero didn't seem fazed by the screaming and the run. He just looked at her and said in a calm, smooth voice, "It was her oun falte. She startled me." "Ok. You don't get to keep this anymore." Shannon said, as she wringed the gun from his hand and handing it to Quatre. "You are the one I trust the most. Please don't let him have it back!" Quatre smiled at her and took the gun, hiding it somewhere on his person. So, not trusting Heero in the least anymore, the girls wouldn't lead them to any more stores. Instead, the group walked down to the flea market to see if they could find some anime. They walked around between the booths for a few hours, until luck struck and they found the tape of the first five episodes of Gundam Wing. With nothing else to do, they traveled back to the direction of library to use the computers. When they arrived, all of the computers at the front were taken, so the group slipped back to the children's section to use the computers. "What were you two looking at when we arrived through the computer screen?" Wufei asked. "We were reading fanfics about you guys." answered Shannon. "Can we read a few?" asked Trowa. "Well, I guess it couldn't hurt." said Kathleen. So Shannon pulled up one of the girls favorite fanfic sites and they searched for something of interest for the guys to read. Finally, they came across a fic called Time and Space. It was about Duo and Quatre being pulled from their world to the world of Dragon Ball Z. So then Kathleen had to explain DBZ to the guys and who the characters were. In the fic, Trunks starts chasing after Duo and Piccolo went after Quatre. Then Heero and Trowa showed up and stole their kois back. Wufei was very disappointed that he wasn't in the fic. So then they had to find a fic with him in it.

It was near closing time when the 7 finally got off of the computers.

"Kathleen, come sleep over at my house. It'll be fun!" Shannon said as they walked out of the doors. "OK, I'll come over in a few minutes. Just let me ask my mom and grab some clothes. I'll see ya in a minute." And with that, she ran off to her house. Shannon and the g-boys continued to her house talking about the fics they had read. It was dark by the time they arrived at the front door. After about ten minutes, Kathleen showed up with a look of excitement on her face. "You will never believe what I got. My sister is home from college this weekend and she had tickets to the amusement park. But she can't go because one of her high school friends are getting married, so she gave them to me. We can go tommorrow. Isn't that awsome?" Everone thought it was a great idea, since they really didn't have anything to do the next day anyway. So Quatre and Shannon started on supper and when the pasta and bread sticks were consummed, the 7 plopped down infront of the tv and watched the Gundam Wing tape they had bought. The girls laughed really hard at the boys reactions to theirselves on the screen. Each were shocked and started yelling about how it hadn't gone like that. Finally the tape ended and the guys got in a huge arguement on how the way things really went. Quatre said that he and Trowa had started going out from the very first. Heero said that he never even met Relena until he had enrolled at school and that he never danced with her ever. Duo was very upset about the fact that his Gundam didn't look as dark and haunting in the series as it did in real life. When the boys had gone over every detail that was wrong, the group had some ice cream and then went to bed.

Author's note: i don't own any these characters except Kathleen and Nightshadow owns Shannon.
