Chapter 3: Matching.com



::recap::



When Usagi got home she collapsed in the chair in front of her computer. Maybe now she could talk to them privately on line. She needed to find out about them. As soon as her computer was started up her aim came up. No one was on at the moment of what she knew. She sighed and got out of aim. She shut down her computer and went to lie down on her bed. Why had she had that vision? Usagi got out the boys screen names and started to read them...

Duo: GShinigami02

Usagi giggled a bit. Duo? A death god? Hardly the type of email she would expect from such a happy-go-lucky guy like him. She would much rather think that Heero and Wufei would better suit the title. Or even Trowa. But certainly not Duo. She shrugged and then looked at Trowa's email.

Trowa: HSilentStorm03

Silent would defiantly describe him. But what was with the 02 and 03? Maybe they're in a gang or something. Certainly would explain why all of them seem so close. Wherever one is, the other is. She could understand that.

Quatre: SSandrock04

There it is again. Oh well.

Wufei: NShinlong05

She was just about to read Heero's email when the phone rang. She put the paper down on the table and went to the phone. It was Haruka.

"Hey, Koneko! How was vaca?"

"It was great! We just met some cool guys on the beach. They were fun, too bad we had to leave so early."

"Yeah, two bad.." Haruka sounded a bit annoyed.

"Minako said they were just about to ask you all out. Remember your destiny, Koneko. You don't want to go get your heart broken by some losers on the beach."

"Haruka! I'm not serious, geez. You sound like my father. We were just having fun is all. Stop being such a worry wreck."

"I am NOT being a worry wreck!"

"Ruka, maybe you should let me talk to Usagi now." Usagi heard Michiru's voice on the other line.

"Right, Michi, you tell her off. She called me a worry wreck!"

Michiru got on the phone. "Sorry Usagi. Ruka only wants to protect her hime. Anyways, so, who were these boys? Were they cute?"

"Michiru! what are you doing!" Haruka sounded on the other line.

Usagi giggled. "Well, yes they were. But I don't think we are going to get serious with them, I mean we only just met them. Besides, I have reason to believe that there are only two sane people in that group. Well, Duo's a bit crazy so one."

"Really? So what were they like?"

"Defiantly nonchalant. At least three of them are. Heero was rather quiet. I reckon he is their leader. Wufei seems to have a grudge against 'weak onnas'. Well, he seems to have a grudge against all onnas."

"WHAT! He said that to you!? That's it, I'm coming over there!" That was Haruka, sounding awefully angry.

"Shut up Haruka. Go on."

"Trowa is just silent all together. No facial expressions what so ever. But I do think he took a liking to Ami. He seems to be someone she could relate with. Quatre is ever so polite. He is a bit shy, but I think Minako likes him a lot. Then there is Duo. He is probably the most overly hyper person I've ever met, excluding Minako and myself, of course. But he seemed to fancy Makoto. She liked him as well."

"And here you said that this wasn't going to get serious and already you have these boys all figured out." Michiru laughed.

"Not really. Heero, Wufei, and Trowa don't seem to want anyone to get serious. I think they intend to scare us off before we are able to figure them out. Quatre and Duo seem to play along with them." Usagi picked up the paper and went out to the balcony.

"Well, I must go. Haruka's just about to make a trip over to your house now and tell you off. Careful. She may go as far as to go over to the beach tomorrow with you guys and throw that Wufei character into the ocean."

"Well, I dunno. He's a pretty tough guy. He's Chinese."

"That only makes it worse. Seeya!"

"All right. Bye!"

Usagi laid the phone on the railing and started to unfold the paper again. Suddenly a gust of wind came by her, and the paper was swept from her hands and into the swirling wind.

"Oh no!" She jumped after the paper as it got caught in the tree right next to the balcony. She reached for it, but it fell and then the wind carried it off again.

"Oh rats. So much for the email addresses." Usagi sighed. 'I'll just get them from Minako in the morning. I know most of them. I didn't get to see Heero's email. Not that there's any use in emailing him anyway. He doesn't' seem the type to care for emails anyway.'

***

Heero sat at his laptop, typing at 124 words a minute. A popup came to the screen. Matching.com. 'Oh brother. Just another matchmaker.com popup.' He deleted it. Unfortunately someone on the other side of the hotel room got the same popup, but didn't delete it.

"Hey, check this out! It's like one of those matchmaking popups!" (PA& UP: Do we need to tell you who said that?)

'Baka.' Heero thought.

"C'mon Quat! Get over here. It tells you what things to look for in a girlfriend, or what the interests should be! Good enough. Sounds like fun. C'mon!"

"Duo, I don't need a website to tell what type of girl I like." Quatre said, looking annoyed as he ironed his clothes.

"Oh please. It's just for fun!"

"No."

"Fine, I'll do it then."

He took the quiz under the title. He clicked Submit under the quiz, and the results came up.

"Hey, check this out! It says that the girl of my dreams would most likely like competition, dark eyes, brown hair, and have a sporty look about her. She would appreciate cooking...hey! That's right! She's got to be able to cook good! Can't love a girl who can't cook!"

"Maxwell, you are a class one baka to think that those popups are worth anything. You should already be able to know what type of girl is for you. If not, then you don't know yourself either."

Duo looked at Wufei like he had just blown a fuse. "W-wh-what? Is Wufei showing some type of sanity when it comes to mating? I stand dumbfounded." He looked like he had just got off the edge.

Wufei threw down the hamburger in his hand and left to his bedroom, slamming the door behind him.

Quatre sighed. "Wufei loved someone to, Duo. Don't be so hard on him. Show some compassion."

"I DON'T NEED COMPASSION!" Wufei yelled from inside the bedroom. It was loud enough to shack the whole building. Trowa held a lamp on the coffee table to keep it from falling over, not even looking up from a book he was reading about medieval architecture. He was engrossed in the pages.

"Hey I know! I'll take the quiz for Heero! This outta be good!" He quickly sent the quiz back, answering all he knew about Heero and then read the results.

"Oh man! This is queer!!!! It says that she must be sophisticated on mixed levels, whatever that means. She must be able to make you laugh. She has to be kind, most likely a blonde, bellflower or blue eyes, and will most likely carry herself as a princess." Duo thought on it for a minute.

"You know, apart from the laughing thing, that sounds an awful lot like Relena."

Heero spit out his drink.

"I mean, sophisticated on mixed levels, kind, blonde, blue eyes. And carries herself like a princess is the ultimate give away."

Heero turned in his chair, glaring at Duo with fire in his eyes. "I do not like Relena." He turned in his chair again, closed his laptop, and stalked into his room, which was beside Wufei's, and slammed the door.

"Well, you have a interesting way of driving off the company, Duo." Trowa took his book, grabbed a sandwich from the table and walked into his room next to Heero's, closing the door quietly.

"Hugh. How did I get stuck with such wretches for partners." Duo shut his laptop and went to his room on the other side of Wufei's, not even bothering to close the door.

Quatre continued his ironing, smiling to himself, not even noticing the message box on his laptop reading 15 emails from VGoddess.

***

Heero checked his emails in his room, and there were 12 from RPeacecraft. He deleted them all, and went to the Screen Names on his info bar and changed his sn to GWZero01. Then sent his change of address to Wufei, Duo, Quatre, Trowa, and Dr. J. He forgot to send his change of address to Usagi.

***

Makoto called early in the morning. She wanted to go to the beach again to see if Duo was there today. Usagi giggled at her friend. She was gone on Duo.

The girls decided they would meet at the food court, specially recommended by Usagi. (PA: Nah duh) around noon. Usagi decided to go early, because her parents were out, and of course, she was starving without food. She grabbed her bathing suit and beach bag; she made sure she brought her volleyball with her, and she quickly drove over to the beach, practically killing herself with all the red lights she ran. 'Food first, safety later.' She thought, turning on the radio. She listened to 'Apossibly' by The Apex Theory. She tapped her figures on the wheel. People were starring at her because of how loud she had her music on. She only smiled. By the time she got there, it was around 9:00. 'Hmmm.three hours early. Oh well, if I eat enough, I won't have anything when they get here. I bet they'll think I'm sick or something.' She imaged Rei's face in her mind when she wasn't pigging out when they got here.

Usagi smiled mischievously. "But, just to make sure."

She ran to the food court, and ordered two trays of sushi, a large bowl of fried rice with fried broccoli, an extra large thermos of iced tea, and three slices of strawberry cheesecake. She started to wolf down the sushi when she looked up. Low and behold, there were those five guys again, and Duo was in the lead, running to the food court. The others were about fifty yards behind him trying to catch up. She giggled a bit, and decided to act as if she hadn't seen them, and started on the fried broccoli and rice, creating a mess with her chopsticks.

Duo parked a seat next to Usagi, and ordered his food. He ordered more food than she did. When his order came, the others had just gotten here. Quatre was panting, but the others were looking expressionless as usual. Quatre ordered and found a seat next to Duo. He starred as Usagi and Duo continued to eat, they had yet to recognize Usagi for the girl he saw yesterday.



"Are you two baka's related or something?"

Usagi looked up to see Wufei looking between her and Duo. Duo was looking at her as she looked up. His eyes widened, and took his tea and drank down his food.

"Hey, you're that girl we saw yesterday at the beach! With Makoto."

The others had come over now.

Quatre spoke. "Usagi, right?"

Usagi nodded, and gulped down her food, then smiled.

"That's me. Quatre, Duo, Wufei, Heero, and Trowa right?"

They nodded. Usagi just smiled, and went back to eating.

"Is Makoto going to be here today?" Duo asked her.

Usagi nodded. "They'll be here around noon. You still got 2 ½ hours till they get here. I'm only here because I wanted something to eat. I'm starving, then started to eat the last of the sushi and then on the cheesecake.

"Damn, you eat as much as I do." Duo said, smiling at her.

Usagi smirked. "Yeah, but this food isn't as good as Makoto's. She makes the best food in the world. You haven't eaten until you've had Makoto's cooking."

Duo perked up. "She cooks?" He cast a looked that said 'I-told-you-so' look at the other guys. Usagi looked at them curiously, then gulped down the rest of her tea and then stacked her plates for the bartender to pick them up. She grabbed her beach bag.

Duo grabbed her arm. "Where you going?"

"I'm going to the little shinamegami's room, nosy."

She smirked as he looked at her. (FYI: Shinamegami is the goddess of death.)

Then he got it and got a silly smile on his face. " I get it."

Heero and Wufei smirked, and Quatre giggled a little bit. Trowa let a small smile slip to his face as Usagi walked to the ladies room.

"Well, she's got spunk, I'll give her that. What do you know? Makoto cooks. Maybe she's the type I'm looking for in a girlfriend. What am I saying, of course she the type I look for in a girlfriend." He slurped up the rest of his tea.

"If you'll excuse me, I'm going to the little Shinigami's room." He strutted off to the men's room, just as Usagi got out from the ladies room.

"So, what are you guys doing today?" She asked, sitting down at a table. The other guys followed her example.

"Well, we were just having a few days off, before we get back to work." Quatre answered.

"Not. Duo dragged us here. Plus he blackmailed us by saying he wasn't going to shut up unless we came." Wufei muttered bitterly. His annoyance with the braided boy was so cute. Usagi giggled.

His glare made her shut up.

"So where are you from."

"The space colonies."

"Oh, awesome. I've always wanted to go there. But I'm not sure right now with the war going on. But then again, there is a war in Japan as well. Youmas and everything."

Trowa looked interested. "You mean the youma's the sailor scouts fight?"

Usagi nodded.

"They are supposed to be the prettiest girls in Tokyo, Japan. Is that true?" Quatre asked.

Usagi blushed a little. "Well, I haven't heard that, but if that's what the rumors say." She shrugged.

"They have powers that come from their bodies. That's a bit interesting."

This comment surprised everyone. For it was Heero who spoke them.

"Yes, they have powers. They were also goddesses. Did you know that?"

They turned to look at her.

"Well, daughters of goddesses. Practically the same thing."

"Goddesses, of what?" Asked Duo as he came to sit with them.

"Well, they are goddesses of their own respective planets. Like Sailor Moon is the goddess of the Moon, Sailor Mercury is the goddess of Mercury. Mars, goddess of Mars. And so on. I guess that would make them so beautiful." She smiled as their expression intensified.

"I could go for a goddess right about now." Duo sighed.

"What about me?"

Makoto, Ami, Rei, and Minako were finally there.

Duo smiled. "Somebody up there loves me!"

Makoto and the girls pulled up seats. "What are we having for lunch? I'm starving."

Usagi stood up. "Have what you want, I'm going swimming. Who's coming with me?"

Duo jumped up and raced to the water. Heero, Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre all stood up as well. Ami went with them. The girls gaped at Usagi.

"How can she not want to eat?"

*Thump *

They sweat dropped as they realized that Rei just fainted.

***

Heero and Wufei pulled off their shirts as they walked towards the water. (PA & UP: *drool.gaze, wish WE WERE THERE!!!!)

Quatre was a bit hesitant to show some skin. In the end, Minako had tugged his shirt off and shoved him in the water, diving in after him afterwards. Usagi swam backstroke in the water. It was a while before she realized how far out she was.

"Usagi!!! What are you doing! There could be sharks out that far!"

Minako was looking nervously at the water. She had been scared to go any further than her neck after seeing the movie Jaws.

"Oh come on Minako. Sharks don't come in this near to shore. We scare them more than they scare us!" she shouted back.

"Wanna make a bet on that?" She suddenly looked terrified. "C'mon Usagi! Are you trying to make me get all jumpy? What if you get hurt!"

"I'll be fine!"

"Famous last words, Usagi!"

Usagi giggled, then swam further out.

"USAGI!!!!!! GET YOU A** BACK HERE NOW!!!"

She kept on swimming till she was sure she was a good 100 feet away from shore. Minako and the others were just colored speaks in the water.

***

"Dude, she had way too much tea! Look at her, she's lost it!" Duo cried, looked at Usagi, who was nothing more than a tan speck in the water, swimming further and further.

The lifeguard was running, blowing his whistle. "Come back in! You're too far out!"

Minako was panicking. "I knew this was a bad idea! Oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no!!!!!!!"

"She's going to get a shark attack, I'm sure of it." Ami said, worried as all get out.

"We've got to do something!" Quatre cried.

Then, Heero dived into the water, and started to stroke madly toward the speck that was Usagi. His hands were moving so fast they were nothing but blurs.

"Oh my great Shinigami. Heero's going to save her!" Duo said.

"God I hope she's okay!" Rei said, starring worriedly after her best friend.

***

Heero hadn't even broken a sweat by the time he was only a few feet away from Usagi, who was swimming away from him, but didn't seem to notice that he was there. She just kept lolling away. He kept trying to get closer to her, till he finally grabbed the back of her swimsuit and pulled to back to him. She seemed to be completely dazed. 'Yep, Way too much tea.' Her face was red; she was drunk on the tea. He took her in one arm and started back to shore. He was a bit amazed at how light she was, considering how much she ate, she was light as a feather. Then he felt a rubbery brush under his feet, then a dorsal fin up above the water. It was a shark.
