**~~**Love and Revenge**~~**
Chapter Five: An Endless Sea
AN: I tried to make this one funny. I hope I did a good job (and there are some parts where the characters are acting like they¹re from Giligan¹s Island just to warn you, ok?) Sorry it took so long ~_~;;;
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing, but I do own Marisa, Anna, Jenn, Alyssa, Krissy, and Britt (she¹ll come in later)^_^
The ship¹s rudder continued to boom along as S-671 submarine, headed for somewhere on the Pacific Ocean (AN: you¹ll figure why I didn¹t put a specific location later). Duo was racing up and down the sub checking everything out.
³Wow! Look at this! But wait, wait, look at this! This is soooo cool!²
³Haven¹t you ever been on a sub before?² Jenn asked, sitting back in her chair.
³Well, yeah, but this one has all different kinds of gismos and gadgets I¹ve never seen before!²
³Oh, yeah, that¹s right. This is one of the newer versions. Well, as long as I know how to program the main controls I could care less about the rest.²
Her watch-timer went off, ³Ok, your break¹s over. Time to get back on duty.²
³Oh, all right.² Duo said, unenthusiastically, taking Jenn¹s seat.
³I¹m going to rummage through the food supply room. Want something?²
³No thanks. Im not hungry now.² Duo said, scanning over the controls.
³Don¹t you Gundam Pilots ever eat! Oh well, anyways, be careful. This place is known to have large octopus and squid.²
³Ok, I will.² Duo said checking the different maps in front of him and then looking out the telescope. As Jenn headed out of the room, Duo said,
³Hey, babe, you did a great job charting this map.²
³Thanks.² Jenn said, blushing a little.
When she left the room, she made sure she had closed the door before letting out a little squeal.
³He called me a babe! That cute-as-heck Dou called me a BABE!² Jenn said, skipping down the hall. (AN: I think we can tell that she likes him-duh!)
*~*~*~*~Half an Hour Later~*~*~*~*
Duo was napping in his chair (AN: As he would probably be doing right now ^_~) when he felt a chill run up his back. He nearly jumped out of his seat. He looked around, but there didn¹t seem to be anyone there. Then he looked out the huge window in front of him and found an eye starting straight at him.
³Oh............my.........God.² he said, slowly getting out of his chair to get Jenn. When he finally woke her from her nap, he said
³Jenn! You¹ve got to come see this!²
³W-what now? Is there something wrong?² she said, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
³That depends on what your definition of Œwrong¹ is. C¹mon!² Jenn followed Duo into the control room and immediately saw what Duo had seen.
³Oh...........my........God.²
³I know, that¹s what I said, too, but I don¹t think it can see us. The outside is tinted so that the enemy won¹t be able to see inside.²
³I hope so. That thing is huge! But I warned you about how big these squids can get.²
³Yeah, but you didn¹t say they could reach the size of a blue whale!²
³Look, it¹s passing the sub.² Jenn said. Slowly the squid moved away form the sub and swam away. Duo and Jenn climbed on top of the dash board to get a better look at it as it swam away.
³Whew, I¹m glad that¹s over.² Jenn said, getting off.
³Ya, that thing nearly scared the daylights out of me.² All of a sudden the boat started shaking voilently.
³W-what¹s happening?² Jenn asked, grabbing on to a pole to help balance herself.
³Either the ship¹s having a spasm or something¹s rocking this thing!² Jenn gasped.
³Look, Duo!² she said, pointing to the opposite window from the one they were previously looking at.
³Dude! That¹s the biggest, black blob I ever saw!²
³That¹s not a blob you dufeuss! It¹s an octopus! And it¹s attacking us!²
³Well, it must be really hungry if it wants to eat metal. I¹m gonna launch an attack!² Duo ran over to the dash board, the sub still shaking.
³No, Duo! You¹ll just make it mad!² Jenn said, running over.
³We¹ve got to defend ourselves! This is the only thing we¹ve got! And to top it off, we¹re stuck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for crying-out-loud! Where are we going to go? I don¹t know about you, but I want to live long enough to finish this mission!² he pressed the red button.
³Nooooo!² But it was too late. A yellow-white beam headed straight towards the octopus¹s head. It hit directly between the eyes. The octopus let out a helpless squeal and fled, dropping the sub onto the ocean floor. The sub landed with a thud.
³Uugh.²
³Uugh.²
Both Jenn and Duo dropped to the floor, but sprang up immediately to check the controls.
³Everything seems to be working fine.² Jenn said, then all the lights went out.
³Damn! We need to find the outbox and turn the lights back on, first, before we can do anything.² Duo said.
³Fine.² Jenn said, groping around for a flashlight. She reached out and touched something so she pulled on it.
³Ow! Hey, that¹s my hair you got there!²
³Oh, sorry.²
³Uhuh, sure, I know what you were up to. And I don¹t like it, so don¹t try and get any more ideas.²
³Huh? What are you----ewwww you¹re gross Duo!² Jenn said, pulling his braid harder. Duo took a step back.
³Ow! Stoppit! How would you like it if I did...........this!² He took hold of what he thought was Jenn and started punching and kicking it. Then he grabbed hold of it and started squeezing it (sort of like the heimlick manuver). Jenn found the flashlight and turned it on.
³Huh? But I thought that was......²
³Well, you should have told me you had a crush on that sand bag. I could have arranged something.² Jenn said, snickering. Duo looked down and immediately dropped the sand bag. He turned around to face Jenn, blushing and sweatdrops coming down (~_~;;;).
³Ahaha, well, I-uh meant to do that you see.....²
³Uh-yea, whatever. Well, anyways, let¹s get down to the basement to turn the lights on.²
*~~~~~~~~~2 Hrs. Later~~~~~~~~*
After a lot of ³fixing² things, Duo and Jenn went back to the top deck to sit down and eat.
³Oh, yum, yum, canned fruit, processed meat, and sea rations.² Duo said sarcastically.
³Just eat it. You¹re lucky we¹ve even got food ok?²
³Nah-uh! I¹m tired of shoving this stuff in my mouth!² Duo said, crossing his arms.
³Well, in that case, I¹ll shove it for you!² Jenn reached over and grabbed a handful of processed meat and crammed it into Duo¹s mouth. Duo looked at her and chewed quietly.
³There, now doesn¹t that taste gooooood !¹ Jenn said in a sarcastic tone. Duo just kept on chewing and staring at her with a deadly look.
³Well, Lady Une said that that if we keep heading in the direction we are now, we should pick up something on radar. Just be patient.² Jenn said.
³Well, sorry to disappoint you, but patience is NOT one of my best qualities.² Suddenly the dash board started beeping. Both Jenn and Duo sat up in surprise, and headed towards it. They decided to play Gilligan¹s Island.
³Oh, what is it, Gilligan?² Jenn asked.
³Well, Ginger, it seems that we¹ve finally reached our destination. And it¹s not a deserted island.²
³Oooooooooooo!²
³It¹s time we go, Ginger.²
³Right Gilligan!²
They both laughed as they got their gear on and headed out. (AN: Is it just me or have these guys gone over the deep end? Talk about going WoOoOoOoOoO!)
*~~~~~~~~Outside the Sub~~~~~~~*
³Geez, it¹s so dark in here! How are we supposed to find this building?²
³I think...........² Jenn said, searching her suit, ³that there are some night goggles in here. Ah! Here they are.² she said, putting them on. She handed one to Duo, who put them on also.
³Oh yeah, much better.² he said, ³And I think I found the building. It¹s under all that coral at twelve o¹clock.²
³Oh, I see it. Well, what are we waiting for? Let¹s go.² Jenn said, diving in front of Duo, who followed closely. When they were about ten meters away, Duo said,
³It looks like we¹ll have to blast the door down. I¹m going in.²
³No, please let me.² Jenn said.
³Huh?²
³Oh, didn¹t I tell you? One of my specialties is creating and using these.² She pulled back part of her suit to reveal a pair of wrist bombs. She pushed a button, and one went soaring towards the door. It successfully brought the door down. Jenn swam to it.
ŒWow, she¹s good.¹ Duo thought, ŒAnd come to think of it.......a Babe! I like a girl who can kick butt!¹ (AN: Well, I guess that answers the question of whether Duo would like Jenn).
He followed her into the building. When they were finally passed all the security guards and security systems, Duo said aloud,
³Who in their right mind would put a building like this in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!²
³Well,² Jenn said, ³Noin said that all these places were in disquise because they¹re top-secret. But to tell the truth, I don¹t get why they put this one down here either.²
*~~~~~~~~~~1Hr. and 1/2 Later~~~~~~~~~~*
³Well, as Heero would say, ŒMission Complete.¹² Duo said, laughing.
³I don¹t mean to seem rude,² Jenn said, ³but he seems a little too serious, and that Trowa-guy too. Remember what he did to Anna? I mean C¹mon!²
³Well, they are serious, but very few people understand them. I think Quatre and I are the only ones. And I don¹t think Trowa meant to do that to your girlfriend. But, you know, I think your girlfriends-²
³Their names are Anna and Marisa.²
³Uh, sorry, Anna and Marisa. I think that they might be able to understand them, too.²
³Knowing them.....probably. Their the most understanding people I know. I don¹t know how they put up with people sometimes. Especially Anna. Marisa can have a temper someimes, but most of the time she¹s just like Anna. For example, do you remember Krissy?²
³You mean the girl with the scary eyes?²
³Uh, yeah, whatever. Well before, no one would go up to her. And she never tried to make friends with anyone. Then one day, Anna and Marisa came up to her and told her that they knew what she was going through-that she didn¹t want to disappoint her family. Alyssa and I thought they were crazy, thinking that they could get her to open up. But the next thing we knew, she was hanging out with us!²
³Woah......well, we better get outta here.²
³Right.²
They headed out and exited the building successfully. As they swam towards the sub, Jenn thought she felt something tugging on her foot. Thinking it was nothing, she swam forward, but it pulled her back. She looked at her foot and to her horror, she found that her foot was trapped in a whirlpool. Her eyes widened as she remembered hearing about people dying from drowning in them-even experienced swimmers.
³Duo! Help!² Jenn yelled, trying to get her foot out of the whirlpool. Duo turned around and saw the biggest whirlpool he had ever seen.
³Holey moley!² he yelled as he dove towards her. He tried hard to release her, but the whirlpool slowly started to engulf her. Somehow, it broke Jenn¹s air tank and she started coughing and gasping for air.
ŒOh my God! She¹s suffocating! I¹ve got to do something!¹ Duo thought.
Then he got an idea. He got out a small hand grinade and threw it at the bottom of the whirlpool (furthest away from Jenn as he could get). He figured the explosion would detatch Jenn¹s leg from the whirlpool. Jenn went unconsious from loss of air as the hand grinade went off. Jenn went flying towards Duo who caught her.
³Success as usuall.² he said, dragging her back inside the sub.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~3Hrs. Later~~~~~~~~~~*
Jenn slowly opened her eyes to find that she was on a couch in the sub with a hot cloth on her forehead. She felt sore all over and let out a groan. Duo heard and went into the other room.
³How do you feel?²
³Like hell.²
³Oh.....well, you hungry?²
³No.²
³Well, if you need me I¹ll be in the other room.²
³No, wait. What happened after my foot got stuck in that whirlpool? Did you save me?²
³Well,² Duo said, blowing on his knuckles and rubbing them on his chest, ³I-²
³Without the attitude ŒMr. Bigshot.¹² Jenn said, crossing her arms. Duo looked at Jenn, dropped his hands, and sat down on the arm of the sofa
³Ok, here¹s what happened. The whirlpool started to suck you into it and it cut off your air supply. The air tank broke in half, and you started choking. Then I got an idea. I figured that if I threw a hand grinade at the whirlpool, the impact of the explosion would free your foot from the whirlpool. You passed out before it went off, but it worked and that¹s how I saved you.²
³Oh...............well, I don¹t usually say this, but.........thanks.²
³No problemo.²
Jenn raised an eyebrow and thought, ŒHe¹s weird and annoying, but cuuuute!¹
³Now, lets get on some land before I start to grow guills.²
³Oh my gosh! You are!² Jenn said pointing at his face.
³Aaaaaggghhh!² Duo said, feeling his face. ³Wait, no I¹m not!²
³You¹re so gullible, Duo.² Jenn said, laughing. She got up and went to the control room and said, ³You¹re in luck, Duo, we¹re coming up on the islands of Hawaii.²
³Halleluiah.²
*~~~~~~~~~~Honolulu~~~~~~~~~*
Jenn and Duo were walking on the dock a few yards from where they parked the sub. Jenn stopped and looked at the sunset.
³Isn¹t it purdy?² she said.
³Purdy?²
³Oops, I mean pretty.²
³Uh........yeah, I guess. Im not big on nature like Heero is.²
³Really? Marisa loves the outdoors, too.²
³Looks like they¹re about to go on another episode of the Loooooooove Connection.²
³Haha, you¹re funny, Duo.² Jenn said laughing.
³I know.²
Jenn gave him a look, and as they continued to walk towards the end of the dock, Duo decided to push Jenn off it with his elbow. Jenn plunged into the water as Duo started to snicker. Her head emerged slowly from the water, her face with a look of pure hatred on it. Duo saw her face and stopped laughing. Jenn climbed out of the water and back onto the dock. She walked up to Duo and grabbed him by the colar.
³Don¹t you ever do that to me again.²
³Ok, ok. Sure, no problem. Just please let go of my shirt. You¹re starting to choke me.² Jenn let go of his shirt slowly.
³Sorry, sometimes my temper gets the better of me.²
³Yeah, no kidding.² Duo said, whiping the water off of his shirt.
³I wanna go home, I miss the others.²
³I do, too. We¹ll set of tomorrow. So..........sit right back in your big ol¹chair and let me tell you about, a crew that went for a ride. It was only supposed to be a three hour tour, a three hour tour, a three hour tour.²
³Oh, shut up Duo!²
³Geez, I was just trying to get you in a good mood.²
³I want to go sleep in the sub now.²
³Oh.......alright.² Duo and Jenn walked back to the sub.
*~~~~~~~~Later That Evening~~~~~*
Jenn had taken her nap, and was now looking at the reports Duo had got from the building about ³B.D.² Duo was steering the sub. She looked out the window and saw a shooting star.
³Hey, Duo.² she said, pointing to it, ³Check that out.²
³Huh?² Duo said, turning around. ³Oh yeah, I see it. Well, make a wish.² Jenn closed her eyes and hoped that everyone was ok. She wondered how everyone was doing, and how Anna was holding up, with her injury and all. She remembered Sally arguing with her about going to Venice because her stomach wan¹t completely healed yet, but Anna refused to back down.
³I hope she¹s ok.² she said to herself. Suddenly, Noin popped up on the small screen.
³Duo? Jenn?²
³Noin?² Duo said.
³You just keep steering, Gilligan. I¹ll talk to her.²
³Whatever.²
³Yes, apparently they thought it was your house, Jenn.²
³What?! I don¹t understand. I haven¹t had anything to do with the Mafia since I was little. What do they want with me now?²
³You mean you don¹t know?²
³No.² Noin looked down and sighed.
³I¹ll tell you when you get back.²
³No! I want to know now!²
³This trip has been rough, I¹ll tell you when you get back and that¹s an order.² Jennifer dropped her head.
³Yes ma¹am.² She went back and sat down in her chair. Duo leaned over.
³Hey Noin, was everyone ok? I mean in the bomb.²
³No. I¹m sorry to say there weren¹t any survivors. It happened in the middle of the night.²
³Oh, that¹s too bad. Well, I guess we¹ll see you tomorrow then.²
³Alright. Have a safe trip. This is Noin signing off.² The screen went black.
*~End~*
Hope you enjoyed it! Please r+r!
Chapter Five: An Endless Sea
AN: I tried to make this one funny. I hope I did a good job (and there are some parts where the characters are acting like they¹re from Giligan¹s Island just to warn you, ok?) Sorry it took so long ~_~;;;

³You¹re so gullible, Duo.² Jenn said, laughing. She got up and went to the control room and said, ³You¹re in luck, Duo, we¹re coming up on the islands of Hawaii.²
³Halleluiah.²
*~~~~~~~~~~Honolulu~~~~~~~~~*
Jenn and Duo were walking on the dock a few yards from where they parked the sub. Jenn stopped and looked at the sunset.
³Isn¹t it purdy?² she said.
³Purdy?²
³Oops, I mean pretty.²
³Uh........yeah, I guess. Im not big on nature like Heero is.²
³Really? Marisa loves the outdoors, too.²
³Looks like they¹re about to go on another episode of the Loooooooove Connection.²
³Haha, you¹re funny, Duo.² Jenn said laughing.
³I know.²
Jenn gave him a look, and as they continued to walk towards the end of the dock, Duo decided to push Jenn off it with his elbow. Jenn plunged into the water as Duo started to snicker. Her head emerged slowly from the water, her face with a look of pure hatred on it. Duo saw her face and stopped laughing. Jenn climbed out of the water and back onto the dock. She walked up to Duo and grabbed him by the colar.
³Don¹t you ever do that to me again.²
³Ok, ok. Sure, no problem. Just please let go of my shirt. You¹re starting to choke me.² Jenn let go of his shirt slowly.
³Sorry, sometimes my temper gets the better of me.²
³Yeah, no kidding.² Duo said, whiping the water off of his shirt.
³I wanna go home, I miss the others.²
³I do, too. We¹ll set of tomorrow. So..........sit right back in your big ol¹chair and let me tell you about, a crew that went for a ride. It was only supposed to be a three hour tour, a three hour tour, a three hour tour.²
³Oh, shut up Duo!²
³Geez, I was just trying to get you in a good mood.²
³I want to go sleep in the sub now.²
³Oh.......alright.² Duo and Jenn walked back to the sub.
*~~~~~~~~Later That Evening~~~~~*
Jenn had taken her nap, and was now looking at the reports Duo had got from the building about ³B.D.² Duo was steering the sub. She looked out the window and saw a shooting star.
³Hey, Duo.² she said, pointing to it, ³Check that out.²
³Huh?² Duo said, turning around. ³Oh yeah, I see it. Well, make a wish.² Jenn closed her eyes and hoped that everyone was ok. She wondered how everyone was doing, and how Anna was holding up, with her injury and all. She remembered Sally arguing with her about going to Venice because her stomach wan¹t completely healed yet, but Anna refused to back down.
³I hope she¹s ok.² she said to herself. Suddenly, Noin popped up on the small screen.
³Duo? Jenn?²
³Noin?² Duo said.
³You just keep steering, Gilligan. I¹ll talk to her.²
³Whatever.²
³Yes, apparently they thought it was your house, Jenn.²
³What?! I don¹t understand. I haven¹t had anything to do with the Mafia since I was little. What do they want with me now?²
³You mean you don¹t know?²
³No.² Noin looked down and sighed.
³I¹ll tell you when you get back.²
³No! I want to know now!²
³This trip has been rough, I¹ll tell you when you get back and that¹s an order.² Jennifer dropped her head.
³Yes ma¹am.² She went back and sat down in her chair. Duo leaned over.
³Hey Noin, was everyone ok? I mean in the bomb.²
³No. I¹m sorry to say there weren¹t any survivors. It happened in the middle of the night.²
³Oh, that¹s too bad. Well, I guess we¹ll see you tomorrow then.²
³Alright. Have a safe trip. This is Noin signing off.² The screen went black.
*~End~*
Hope you enjoyed it! Please r+r!
