Chapter 13 - The Art of Having Fun
That morning was warm and the sun seemed to beam through the hills . All the pilots were up, outside and on the shooting range. They were learning weaponry for the first time.
Trowa and Duo brought the girls to the range where there were different weapons laid out in front of them. There were bows, 357 megs, ozzys, desert eagles, BFG's and a variety of rifles.
Steph leaned into the display and chose an ozzy, Ashley chose a bow and Kim picked up a 22 caliber (Rifle).
"Oh, this is going to be so much fun" Ashley smiled as she took out an arrow.
Kim pointed the barrel of the rifle at the target (which was 30 feet away). She pulled the trigger with shaky hands. It's been a while since she went with her Dad to the range back home.
Trowa's eyes widened as he looked to the target. A white bird was plastered onto it. Blood and feathers were everywhere.
Kim blinked. "Um...Oops."
Duo shook his head as if it were the end of the world.
"My turn!" Steph said as she aimed the weapon at the red and white target. She pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Getting a straight shot, Steph began to jump up and down in excitement.
"Yes!! Bull's eye!"
"Oh yah?!" Ashley said.
Standing back on one foot, she out the arrow to the bow. Closing one eye, she focused as she pulled the arrow back. She lined it up and let it fly. It hurtled past Trowa as it grazed his bangs. Iy soared past Duo and hit the target right on. She opened her eyes and smiled triamphantly.
"Ha!!"
"There's one thing I forgot to mention...Aim!"
Leaning on the bow, Ashley looked to Trowa. Hee shook his head as he looked at a few strands of his hair on the ground.
Steph and Kim grabbed Ashley by the arms and ran into the mansion for lunch. Duo and Trowa followed close behind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After lunch, they all went their separate ways. Kim and Relena went to play some Tennis and Steph and Quatre went to the pool. Of course, Steph wore her most revealing bathing suit.
"Whooo.." Ashley shouted as she flew down the hall on her rollerblades.
She screamed as she passed Duo's room and banged into an end table. She now sat in a small pile wood and glass from a broken vase.
Duo stumbled out of his room as he looked at Ashley on the floor. She rubbed the back of her head.
Smiling, Duo walked over to Ashley and helped her up out of the wreck.
"Thanks." she said smiling.
"Ah, it's not a problem."
Ashley tried to regain her balance as she held onto Duo for support.
"Hey, what are you doing anyway?" he asked.
"Well...I'm rollerblading." she replied as he wiped herself off.
"Can I try?" he asked looking down at the rollerblades on Ashley's feet.
Ashley nodded as she took Duo to Steph's room to get him a pair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kim and Relena were rallying the tennis ball with the rackets they held tightly in their hands.
Heero watched the two battling it out on the court.
As the ball came towards Kim. She backhanded it and smacked Relena in the forehead. A huge slapping sound was heard upon contact and she fainted on the floor. Kim loomed over the limp, ugly girl who was sprawled over the tennis course.
"Oh, so sorry Relena." she said sarcastically and threw the racked at her. Smirking, she walked up to Heero.
"Come on. Let's go."
"But, what about..." Heero looked at Relena as he spoke.
"Ah, she'll be fine." Kim said, waving her hand at Relena.
Kim smiled as she took Heero's hand and ran off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Kim and Heero made their way across the lawn, towards the mansion, Duo flew into one of the windows. He was skating around with Ashley. It was his first time obviously. Kim looked at Heero and then back at Duo with a weird look.
"I'm better on rollerblades." Kim commented.
Then Ashley smacked into Duo. Their faces were plastered to the glass.
"Ah! Kimmy." Ashley mumbled just before she fell back onto the floor.
She stumbled to get up as she dragged Duo with her. Eventually they managed to get up. Ashley raced to the staircase. She looked down at the bottom and sighed.
"Ah. I'll kill myself."
Duo came up behind her and looked to the rail. Jumping on it, he slid down just as Kim and Heero walked in. Duo crashed into them.
"Geranamo" Ashley sand out just before she tumbled down onto the pile of bodies.
One of Ashley's rollerblades smaked Heero on the head as she fell.
Kim pushed Ashley and Duo off of her and stood up.
"Duo you show off." she said as she smiled at him.
"Well, you and your crazy ideas" Duo said and winked at Ashley.
Ashley sighed as she placed her hands on her hips. She looked up at the rail.
"Oh man. We so have ta do that again."
"Yah, come on." Duo grabbed Ashley by the hand. She blushed and looked at their hands. Before they could go anywhere, Kim grabbed them.
"You are NOT doing that again!"
Heero rolled over on the floor. He tried to sit up but had no success.
"Oh look. Stars." he sounded as if he were on drugs.
"Oh man. He's lost it." Duo said.
"Um...Sorry." Ashley apologized.
Ashley and Duo then went looking for more trouble to cause. Kim stayed to helped Heero. He was starting to come around.
