Chapter 4

The next morning things went fairly normal. All the boys were too exhausted to fight or tease. They stepped into the kitchen and stood around, waiting for breakfast to be cooked. Usagi was in the middle of Hiiro and Wufei and had her head on Hiiro's shoulder, yawning tiredly. Wufei leaned on his katana, looking around blearily. Duo had his head on Quatre's shoulder, and was snoring softly. Quatre leaned up against the wall, as did Hiiro. A shuffling of feet made them all look up. Duo woke up with a small yelp and tumbled to the floor. He picked himself up, grinning sheepishly. He then turned to join the others as they stared at the newcomer.

'Wow,' Usagi thought. 'He's neat looking! Is he gonna be a gundam too?'

The new boy had brown hair a few shades lighter than Duo's that had a weird way of falling into one eye. His eyes or eye rather, was emerald green. He looked at their little group, seemingly not impressed.

Usagi stepped up and smiled. "Are you gonna be a Gundam? I'm Usagi." Then she proceeded to name the boys. When introductions were done, Usagi took his hand and led him over to the table. "Breakfast'll be ready in a sec. Kay? What's your came?"

The boy's face broke out in a shy smile. "Trowa," he said. "Trowa Barton."

-Next day-

"So you've already had a lot of training?" Usagi asked Trowa. They were walking down the hall towards the training room.

"Yes. I've trained for about three years now."

"Oh?" she said her eyes wide. "Wow! So you started when you were seven?"

He nodded. "Yup. But I didn't start as early as YOU."

Usagi blinked, "Oh yeah." Trowa sweat dropped. Suddenly a young boy sauntered over to them.

"Hi," he said pushing his bangs back. "My name's Mamoru Chiba (Hikari: ::in impersonation of Mamo-baka's voice:: I'm a rose throwing freak!! Twist: er, don't mind her she hates Mamoru…). Who're you two?"

Usagi smiled at him. "I'm Usagi and this is Trowa. Trowa, say hi."

"…"

"Er… Gomen nasai*," she said to Mamoru. "He's not very talkative." Mamoru grinned. "I'm eight years old," Usagi continued. "How old are you?"

"I'm twelve years old," he boasted.

"Why are you here though?" she pressed curiously.

"I'm gunna be a pilot. And a doctor."

"How long have you been here?"

"All my life."

"How come I never saw you then?"

"Because I've been away since I was nine."

"Oh." She shrugged. "Oh well. We gotta to train, we'll see ya around." Trowa nodded and they continued walking.

All seven of them became friends, although Mamoru became unbearable at some times. But they all got along… It wasn't long before they were piloting Gundams.

*Five years later*

"Ugh!" Usagi said flopping down on the couch.

"Whatta night!" Duo flopped down next to her.

"Yeah, I'll say!" Hiiro looked over at them and sighed. "Pathetic." But his eyes softened as they looked at Usagi. The now 13-year-old girl shared an apartment with the five 15-year-old boys and 17-year-old Mamoru. A big happy family… -sort of.

Usagi stood up and winced. "Man, I think I bruised a rib. I'm gonna be in the bathroom bandaging myself," she got up and stiffly walked to the bathroom.

Wufei shook his head. Trowa walked in and occupied the spot where Usagi had been sitting. Quatre followed and walked to his bedroom. Hiiro and Wufei began talking.

"Well, this isn't really a mission…" Wufei was saying.

Hiiro scowled. "Yeah, well it's mission enough. The only problem is that girl."

Wufei snorted. "She's like some pacifist stalker. Its dishonorable Yuy!"

Hiiro glared at him. "It wasn't my fault. Dr. J changed his mind, so I couldn't just let her die, demo* I swear, if she tries anything, mission or not, I'll kill her."

"Kill who?"

Both boys started at the sound of Usagi's voice. Hiiro's eye started twitching. "Er… no one…"

Wufei rolled his eyes, and then took a good look at Usagi. "What are you wearing, onna? Change at once! Those clothes are dishonorable!!"

Usagi looked down at the button up shirt she had borrowed from Wufei (Twist: ^.^ shh! He doesn't know!) and a pair of boxers that peeked out from underneath the shirt. She pouted, "What's wrong with this? It's comfy!"

Wufei snorted. Usagi scowled and pulled out her mini-mallet she kept hidden and bopped him over the head. Then she stomped off to watch TV muttering something about sexist male pigs.

Wufei scowled and rubbed his head. "Injustice," he muttered. Hiiro smirked. Both boys watched as Usagi went over to the couch and sat on the end nearest to Duo, who always had funny remarks about all the shows. Tonight they were watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Twist: don't own it!) and when the two women were fighting he was saying things like, "You took my boyfriend, you skanky ho!" or "Oh my God! You broke my nail!" what really got Usagi to crack up was that Duo's voice, recently undergoing through "puberty" (Twist: lol, couldn't help myself!) still cracked from time to time. It was definitely amusing, she thought.

Suddenly Duo called out, "Hey Wu-man! This movie really needs you in it! You could fit right in with these crusty people!" he laughed at his own joke and Usagi snickered. Duo was DEAD. Wufei looked at him and growled.

Duo stopped mid-laugh. "Uh… I thing I'm gonna go to bead… kinda sleepy, ya know?" Duo started inching towards his room. Wufei grabbed his katana and grinned wickedly. Duo shot Usagi his best "puppy dog" look; he knew Usagi couldn't refuse.

Usagi groaned inwardly. She shouldn't… he deserved it…

Duo continued to look at her, lip quivering. Oh! Fine! She thought.

She rolled her eyes and went over to Wufei. He looked down at her and frowned. She fluttered her eyelashes and latched onto his arm. (Hikari: coughRelenacough). "Fei-chan, I need help working on a new move for my kata. Can you please help me?" she let her eyes fill and her lower lip quiver.

Wufei started sweating. "Uh, um…" he gulped

Usagi inwardly grinned, Heh, heh, she thought. Works every time…

Wufei cleared his throat. "Ahem Uh, fine."

Usagi caught Duo's eye and winked. He flashed her a grin and quietly tiptoed to his room. Usagi shook her head slightly and led Wufei to the training room.

Might as well work on the kata, she thought. She caught Hiiro's eyes and winked again. He smiled slightly and rolled his eyes.
