Title: Chance

Description: Okay, I've been doing a lot of AU's to go with my original character fanfics. Like, A Lovely Mess, for one, now this.
Another what if that has to do with my fascination with destiny:
What if Akira was not a Gundam pilot and never met any of the G-boys or Haruki? Well, for one thing, she cuts her hair and gets glasses (it makes her look much younger)! But if her destiny is with Quatre, how will she meet him.
A surprisingly brief first meeting, an even more surprising second meeting, an almost trip around the world, and a chance romance make for a cute multi-chapter fic. Enjoy!
Chapter two: Love Connection
Akira looked around at the new school. It was huge!
Suddenly, Akira felt someone give her hair a quick tug. She turned around, surprised to come face to face with a tall girl with blue hair and yellow eyes.
" Oh, Umeko, it's just you. You scared me." Akira sighed.
" Is that any way to greet your big sister?" Umeko gave a fake frown, before giving Akira a quick hug.
" I'm sorry, I'm just a little edgy since I left L.A.." Akira said.
" What happened in L.A.?" Umeko asked as they started to walk again.
" It's a long story, I'll tell you later. So," Akira looked over at Umeko. " Where's our room?"
" What? Oh yeah, well, the thing is..." Umeko started.
" Good day, ladies!" A young man, with long, brown, braided hair and Cobalt eyes said happily.
" Who's that?" Akira whispered to Umeko.
" Duo!" Umeko smiled at him. " What are you doing on this side of the planet?"
" Well," Duo rolled his eyes, " I got stuck helping out a buddy on some job I was supposed to do in the first place."
" Life's just not fair, is it?" Umeko said, sarcastically.
" No, not at all." Duo looked over at the other girl. " Who's this?"
" Oh," Umeko turned to Akira, " This is my sis, Akira, she's just two years younger than me."
" Well," Duo winked at Akira, " Aren't you a cutie."
Umeko kicked Duo in the shin.
" Don't even start with her, Duo. She could kick your sorry ass any day." Umeko put her hands on her hips.
" If she's anything like you, yes, yes she could." Duo rubbed his shin. " So, are you going to this school?"
" Yes, I'm just starting here, in fact." Akira smiled.
" Well, if you're smart enough to get into this school, you should just come work for Preventers. They need more beautiful women to work for them." Duo smiled back.
" I don't know, I'd really like to learn more about my trade before I go into work." Akira looked to the ground at her side.
" What do you do?" Duo asked
" Well, I'm an engineer." Akira said " I like to work on advancing technology."
" You're kidding me!" Duo said in disbelief.
" No, I don't believe I am." Akira cocked an eyebrow.
" I mean, that's really quite a coincidence. I was sent here to hire some of you guys for Preventers." Duo said, happily. " And wouldn't it be nice to recruit the first person I talk to?"
" I'm sorry, I just don't think I'm ready to stop school." Akira said.
" Well, Preventers has engineering classes and professionals on site. So, you can work and learn, as well as apprentice at the same time. In fact, one of our best professors came from this school." Duo pointed toward the big, Victorian looking building.
" Why would he quite teaching at this school, doesn't it pay a lot?" Akira asked.
Duo looked at the school and scratched his head, sweatdropping.
" Gee, I never thought of that. Must be because of his hands on training methods. Do you know what happened, Umeko?" Duo asked.
" I think I heard that he was developing an advancement to the zero system and was found out." Umeko shrugged, " But those are probably just rumors."
" The Zero system?" Akira became interested. " Do you guys still do studies of that at Preventers?"
" Well," Duo got a twinkle in his eyes. " I really shouldn't tell you this," Duo looked around, then whispered. " Right now we're working on a version of the Zero system that is healthier for your mental state. But, we're kind of doing it behind everyone's back, because that sort of thing is illegal to develop, even for us."
" Yeah, it goes against the Earth and colonies peace treaty." Akira said, pushing up her glasses. " Preventers could be suspended and throw the peace off balance and open up a gap for more domination and eventual universal communism."
" Wow!" Duo's eyes widened " I never thought of it that way! Damn, we only did it because things started getting boring. Y'know, we could use your sort of brains in that sector."
" I dunno..." Akira looked thoughtful. " So, I could learn, apprentice and work?"
Duo nodded.
" Well, it sounds like you guys need help...I'm in." Akira said.
Umeko blinked " But, Akira, you've dreamed of going here since you were ten!"
" No, I've dreamed of being an engineer." Akira said. " It doesn't matter to me how I get there. Besides, I'd be helping people."
" But," Umeko started, but gave up before she continued.
Umeko waved her hand in a dismissing way.
" Fine, fine, fine, but don't say I didn't warn you. You're getting yourself into a risky business. Oh, and you have to tell Dad. But I'm sure he'll be proud of YOU." Umeko said sourly.
" What's that supposed to mean?" Akira asked.
" I joined Preventers last year, But I haven't told him I quit college." Umeko said.
" Oh, so that's how you know him?" Akira pointed to Duo, smiling.
Umeko nodded.
" So, that's why we don't have a dorm at this school?" Akira asked.
" How'd you know?" Umeko asked.
" I checked the map and student listings on my way over. I was just giving you a hard time earlier." Akira smiled at her sister, warmly.
Umeko rolled her eyes.
" So, you want to see where we'll really be staying?" Umeko smirked.
" Sure." Akira said.
" Alright, Duo, we'll see you later. I'll sign my little sis up to Preventers. Hey, maybe you and your partner can join me and Akira for lunch or something." Umeko said.
" I dunno, I have a feeling he wants to get this done and over with ASAP, but I'll talk to him." Duo waved. " I'll phone you later. I have to go meet him in the front office."
Akira bowed and smiled. " Bye Duo, and thank you for setting me up."
Quatre looked at his watch and sighed.
" Stop fooling around, Duo..." Quatre said to himself. He was still angry at himself for the incident in L.A..
" Hey, Quatre, how was the flight?" A voice came from behind him, Quatre turned around and saw Duo.
" Oh, Duo, it's just you. You scared me." Quatre sighed
" Is that anyway to treat the person who's helping you with your job?" Duo put his hands on his hips.
" I'm sorry, I'm just a little edgy since I left L.A.." Quatre said.
" What happened in L.A.?" Duo asked and they started to walk.
" It's a long story, I'll tell you later. So," Quatre started. " Where do we start and how many do we need?"
" Well, I just recruited one, so we only need three more." Duo said proudly.
" Already, that was fast." Quatre said.
" Yeah, it was the sister of Umeko, one of our agents. Plenty cute, too. She looked like one of those fighting chicks. Nice body, you could tell she worked out. I think she was a size "C", too. 'Cause, man, she was filling her suit. Almost like her sister, but more wholesome." Duo rambled.
" Wait, Duo, she was qualified, wasn't she? You didn't just hire her because she was cute, did you?" Quatre looked at him.
" Of course not! I'm not that shallow."
Quatre stared at Duo.
" Well, even if I am, that girl was as smart as a...a...um...I can't think of a way to end that metaphor, but she was really clever and intelligent." Duo argued.
" Fine," Quatre gave up.
" So, you want to go to lunch with them?" Duo asked.
" With who?" Quatre asked back and Duo rolled his eyes.
" With Umeko and her sister, of course!" Duo said.
" Duo, I don't have time for that stuff." Quatre protested.
" Okay, then, dinner." Duo suggested.
" Alright, tonight, but don't expect anything after that." Quatre sighed.
" You won't regret it, Quatre. She looks a little geeky at first, but without her glasses, she is quite the female." Duo said.
Quatre stopped. Glasses? The girl at the airport had glasses. Could that mean...? No, of course not. There are millions of girls who wear glasses. To think that it could be her was just ridiculous.
" Are you coming, Quatre?" Duo asked.
" Y-yeah." Quatre continued, shaking his head. Why did he feel so bad about that girl?
To be continued...
Now that was just sad!
~ It was cute, I hope
You have to write more soon, or I'll kill you.
~Fine, fine.
Join Supurrkitty next time to see how fate will foible with these prospective love birds.
Next time:
Quatre looked out the window of the preventers apartment him and Duo were staying at for their 'mission'. He flipped the frames of the broken glasses on the table. It was just an ugly reminder of how he was the scum of the universe.
' I just broke a stupid pair of glasses, but I feel like I stole candy from a baby. Why do I feel so bad?' Quatre looked at the frames carefully. 'Then again, they do look pretty expensive...'
" Oh, okay, no problem...No, I totally understand...Bye." Duo hung up the phone and Quatre looked at him.
" Dinner's off. Seems little sis lost one of her luggage bags." Duo said.
Quatre sighed with relief. He just wanted to call in quits for the night. Too much emotional distress.
