I've decided to make the chapters extra long since it seems many prefer
it that way. So enjoy!

"Well, that's done." Wufei mumbled as he closed the car's top. "I
thought you knew how to fix these things?"
"I'm only good with operational machinery, you know military stuff,
everything else, just stumps me," she said it sweet and softly letting
the words tickle down her mouth perfectly.
Wufei looked around nervously his heart pounding almost at top speed;
he didn't know whether he should invite her in or not. A horn thundered
and brought him back to reality, he had to ask her in, it was the only
polite thing to do. "Do, you want…"he stuttered, "want to come in?"
Sally moved slowly away from the vehicle, "Sure."
Wufei strolled to the door trying hard not to let his emotions get the
better of him, but he sensed she knew what he was thinking.
"I didn't know you liked mechanics?"
Wufei stopped, "I do."
"Oh, so are you working with Duo?"
He stopped again, "Wouldn't you like to get out of the rain!"
"Yeah, but I was…"
"Asking." He opened the door to the office. "Want some coffee?"
"No, no thanks." She sat down on the coach looking a bit nervous
herself, a comfort to Wufei he liked to be in power.
Wufei sat down across from her keeping a close eye on what she was
doing.
"Why, do you always look at me that why?" Sally asked breaking the
ongoing silence.
"What way." He crossed his arms and legs.
"Like, like the way you would look at someone if you suspected they
were going to rob a bank!"
He raised a brow amused by her anger and no longer nervous. She was
still the same Sally he used to know.
"See, your doing it again!"
"Am I?" he asked with much amusement in his voice.
"Yes!" Sally retorted angrily. He was starting to play mind games with
her and she knew it.
"You want me to ask you to dinner, don't you?"
Sally, amazed, turned her full attention on the question. "It would be
nice."
"I'm busy."
"So why did you even bring it up!"
"What up?"
"The subject, that's what!"
Wufei grinned; this was their normal pace of things. "I thought it
would be polite."
"Polite?" Sally got up from her sit, fists clenched tight.
"Yes."
"You just invited me to dinner and then said you were busy, that's not
polite!"
"Why not?" Wufei sensed he was getting on her nerves; it brought back
fond memories.
Frustrated she answered the question reluctantly, "Wufei, you don't
know what polite is." She started to open the office door and upon
opening it Duo came falling down upon her.
"DUO!" Wufei yelled as he helped pick him off of Sally.
"What?"
Sally bewildered quickly got up and composed herself.
"You've been listening to our whole conversation, haven't you!"
"Your good!"
Wufei rolled his eyes, "It wasn't too hard to tell."
Duo perked up and smiled then turned to face Sally. "He'll pick you up
at 6."
Sally herself smiled and began to walk out of the room. "Alright."
Wufei was perplexed, and astonished. Duo had asked Sally for him, he
could've done that himself.
"I'll meet you at that local Pizzeria, San Ramos's." and with that she
left.
"So aren't you going to thank me?" Duo asked apprehensively as he sat
down at his desk and turned the computer on.
"No." Wufei answered; he was not about to thank him for ruining his
fun. "I'm leaving."
"To go where?" Duo turned his attention away from the monitor.
"It's 5 o'clock genius, you set up our dinner date for 6." He picked up
his bag and put on his raincoat. "I still need to get ready."
"5! Already! Wow, time does fly when you're having fun!" he slouched in
his chair and began typing. "See Yah!"
"Yeah, bye."
***
"We'll have a large pie, half with pepperoni the other… mushrooms."
Sally said as she ordered their meal.
"So," Wufei muttered as he looked around the pizzeria. It was a bit
noisy but he didn't mind at least if they got into one of their usual
fights they wouldn't be heard.
"So?" Sally questioned as she too looked around the room.
"You," Wufei hesitated as he faced her view again, "you look very
beautiful."
Sally in utter shock kept quiet as she tried to comprehend what he had
just said to her.
"That was a compliment woman, must you always be so shocked at what I
say!" Wufei proclaimed angered and embarrassed.
"Oh, I'm sorry thank you." Sally replied meekly. Such nice compliments
were hard to come by with Wufei.
Wufei began to talk again. "Are you in town for business or leisure?"
"Neither."
"Then why?" the smell of pizza caught his attention as he spoke; he
sniffed the air and eagerly awaited the delectable dish.
"I'm here to stay." She smiled as the waiter placed the pizza down on
the table. "Want a piece?"
"Sure." He handed her his plate, she cut a slice then gave it back to
him.
"What are you in town for?"
"Business." He answered as he took a bite out of his pizza. "But, to
stay also."
"Really!"
"Would I be lying?"
Sally shook her head then changed the topic. "Duo told me that you're
having neighbor problems."
He looked up from his plate. "You talked to Duo?"
"Yes, he called me."
"Oh." He replied a bit jealous, he was going to have a nice talk with
Duo when he got back.
Sally began to speak. "I'm also having neighbor problems."
Wufei nodded his head and started to eat hurriedly his slice of pizza.
He was now keenly aware of the music that had begun to play, with his
luck they'd be on the dance floor in under a minute.
Sally just finishing her pizza got up. "Hey Wufei why don't you come
and dance with me?"
His head lifted and a meek smile drew across his face. "Maybe later."
"Wufei…" she seemed a bit sad and desperate. "I'm going to dance now."
"Oh, alright." Wufei mused trying to seem not in the least bit
interested.
He watched her move onto the dance floor, her blonde hair glistening in
the bright light. She tapped her foot on the floor catching the rhythm
of the song and then she began to dance with such movement and grace
that it made him regret that he said "no".
He finished his pizza and then looked out onto the dance floor again
but this time she wasn't dancing alone she was dancing with another
man.
