Chapter 3: The right decisions

After school, Ronnise walked home by herself. Chrissy and Chloe were trying to get Brittany to calm down after the Martial Arts Tournament being cancelled and Meghan had ballet practice. Ronnise lived with her mom, her father left out on them when she was only 3. Her mother, Hannah Shaw, was an archeaologist who was often away studying something. So, her grandmother, Diana Shaw, was often there to watch her. She got home that day and flopped on the couch. "Ronnise? Is that you?" asked Diana
"Yeah, gran, it's me." she said
" 'Nise, why do you constantly leave your schoolbag in the middle of the floor when I constantly tell you to pick it up off the floor?"
"I don't know."
"Please don't start with that again, I'm already stressed out."
"About what?"
"Well for one thing, your mother won't be coming home on schedule and second, the fact that these mobile suits are attacking any colony that comes their way."
"Why isn't mom coming home on time?"
"Everything has stopped because of the recent attack of the mobile suits. I think it may have something to do with the government. Everything did start to go wrong after that Relena Peacecraft girl died."
"I know, she seemed to glue everything together. I just want to know how this doctor could go crazy. We already suffered enough from one war. Maybe he's being framed."
"I suppose, you being you and all *sigh* anyway, you get your snack and get started on your homework."
"Alright grandma."
"I mean it, no MTV until it's done."
Chrissy sat on an old file drawer, she was still working on her laptop, she was helping her find out how to stop somebody from destroying more colonies. The GW boys were working, except for Quatre, he was still worried about what was going on. "Hey Quatre-san, can I ask you something?" asked Chrissy
"Go ahead." he responded
"How did you guys get here in the first place?"
"That's still a little fuzzy to me. What happened was we were going to defend a colony when something that looked like.....you're not gonna believe what I'm going to tell you."
"Go on and tell me, what's the worst you could say?"
"It looked like the northern lights?"
"Aurora borealis? That is so cool! It sound like you went through that thingy in this Stephen King book I read....now what was that book called......um, I think it was called Dreamcatcher."
"I just want to know how is that cool?"
"You saw the northern lights and it proves that some of the things Stephen King writes is true."
"*sigh*Christina, you really are odd."
"Thanks for the compliment."
"PHONE MESSAGE FOR YOU!"
Chrissy clicked on the message. "Christina, this is Wanda, mom's in the hospital. She's having the baby, we're all there, please come when you can."
Chrissy closed the laptop and got off the file cabinet. "I gotta go, mom's having the baby."
"Let me come with you." said Quatre
"Are you sure you want to come? A baby takes hours."
Brittany was sparring in her backyard. She was furious because the tournament was cancelled. She was even angrier of what Wufei said before she left school. Her only thoughts were to defeat him in a fight. She wielded her sword and concentrated on her thoughts. She sliced in mid-air, leaving a brush of fire. 'Wufei Chang, I must defeat you.' she thought 'I will crush you, for what you said about my father. You never knew the pain I went through. I will scar you for this.'
Ronnise sat in her room. She leaned on her bedpost and opened her diary. She read the entry she wrote about the night before. Her dream was haunting her endlessly, and she didn't tell anyone, in fear that they might get hurt. The diary entry said: 'Dark flames circle my body as I fall. Through the flames I see many mobile suits killing and destroying lives. Then I hit the ground. I stand up to see Quatre holding Christina by the arm, she's holding on for dear life, then she falls. Wufei is standing and staring at Brittany as she stares back, the dark flames circle them. Everything around me turns into darkness, then I see Trowa, standing there, waiting for something. Then I wake up.' Ronnise sighs and looks out the window. 'These dreams.' she thinks 'Are they real, or is it a dream?'
Chrissy's feet crunched through the snow. The wind blew hard and she buttoned her coat. She shivered as the temprature dropped. "Are you alright?" asked Quatre
"I think so, it's just so cold. I'll be glad when we get to the hospital." she answered
"So, do you think your mom's having a boy or a girl?"
"I'm pleading to God that it's a boy. We have enough girls around, believe me."
"I have 29 older sisters."
Chrissy facefaulted and got back up. "You're kidding me? 29 sisters?! I would've killed myself!"
"I'm the youngest."
"So that's why you're so sweet and gentle."
He blushed. "No, that's not why."
"*giggle*Quatre-chan, you are a terrible liar."
"I am not."
"I can see you're lying in your face."
"Show me where."
They stopped walking and she turned to face him. They got closer and looked in each other's eyes. "I can see it...." started Chrissy "right here."
She kissed him hard.
Chrissy and her brothers and sisters were waiting for at least 8 hours before the baby was born. "I spy with my big eye, something beginning with H." said Karen
"A hospital." answered Kotono
"Shut up Karen." said Wanda
Jin finally came out of the hospital room, the other five stood up and ran up to him. "So is it a boy or a girl?" asked Kotono
"Boy."
"Thank God! A boy! Oh thank you Jesus!" cheered Chrissy
"Christina, don't get your hopes up, there's two boys, the other one isn't born yet."
Chrissy facefaulted. "Why?? I only asked for one Lord."
"Christina, there's a twin gene in all of us, remember?" asked Sid
She sighed and went back to sit down.
The next day, Ronnise decided to take a walk outside. She had no desire of doing anything today. Her blue hair flowed through the wind. It was very cold, but she didn't mind, the cold was something she was used to. For some reason, in Philadelphia it always seemed to snow in October, it started snowing after the nuclear war. She kept feeling these strange vibes, like something big was coming. She stopped and looked in a nearby coffee shop, there, was Trowa Barton, working. 'Maybe I'll just drop in for a quick cup of coffee.' she thought
She took a deep breath and entered the shop. Inside, people were talking and sipping on coffee, food, and some other things. Some brought their laptops to use while drinking their coffee. She sat down at the bar and waited for Trowa to take notice of her. She winked at him and he walked over. "So what brings you here Ronnise?" he asked
"Just wanted a coffee."
"What kind?"
"A cappuchino."
"Sure."
He walked over to the machine to get the cappuchino and Ronnise looked outside. The sky became cloudy and snow fell down. 'This is a sign, something is coming.' she thought
Brittany was practicing outside while Chrissy sat on the porch watching her. She was sparring outside in the cold snow without shoes on. "I still don't get it." said Chrissy
"Get what?" asked Brittany
"It's at least 43 degrees outside, snow is on the ground, and you have no shoes on."
"Don't worry about it, I've learned to master the cold."
"Oh? And how are you going to master the cold virus? Your mom's gonna kill you if she finds out that you have no shoes on and it's snowing."
"*sigh*You're right, can you get me my shoes?"
"Sure."
As Chrissy went to get in, Brittany heard a battle cry and the crunching of feet in the snow. She turned around to see a man with black chinese pants and blue trimmed with white chinese shrit on attacking her. He tried punching her in the stomach but she blocked it, raised the fist in the air, and elbowed the man in the stomach. He recovered quickly and kneed Brittany in her stomach but she blocked it, leaving her open to a karate-chop to the neck. She fell over. Wufei happened to be in the neighborhood (talk about cliche)and saw that Brittany was on the ground. He found this intresting and walked across the street to look at her. Chrissy saw what was happening, but she knew better than to interfere. The man raisesd his leg to let it fall on Brittany, but her eyes snapped open and she quickly blocked it with her arm. She tripped him and got up. "Get up Lei, we're not finished." she said
Lei continued to stay there on the ground. Brittany stood over him and see if she really knocked him unconcious. His eyes snapped open and he grabbed her by the wrist and put one arm behind her back and he put his arm around her neck. He removed his hand from her wrist and had his palm aimed for her nose. She took this opporotunity to attack and she elbowed him the stomach and kicked him to the ground. "Ok Brittany, you win." said Lei, getting up
"Fine, but you still won't get my hand in marriage." she said
"I don't think anyone will be marrying you as long as you keep defeating us."
As he walked away, Chrissy handed Brittany her shoes. "I think that Brittany Akira Kasuya would've been a great marriage name." said Chrissy
"Chris, I don't want to marry Lei, he's too weak."
"So, who would you prefer to marry?"
"I don't know. Well, the tradition I must be defeated in a battle...I want somebody who is as strong as Nataku, smart, quick.....someone like-"
"Wufei?"
Brittany's face turned bright red. "Who said anything about that someone could be Wufei? Its not like I have a crush on on him or anything."
"I never asked if you did."
"Oh...uh...well its not like he likes me, he hates me."
"No he doesn't, he just is a little quiet about things....especially the fact that he's uh....nevemind."
"He's a what? Is he gay?"
"Hell no! He just has a bit of issues to work out."
"Who doesn't?"
Brittany: Wufei has always had issues.
Kari: Not before he met you.
Brittany: What is that supposed to mean?!
Kari: You have Wufei-
Wufei: I have what? (Walks in computer room out of nowhere)
Kari & Brittany: (sweatdrop) Nothing
Brittany: (thinking) Have a good looking body.....
Quatre: (pokes Kari in the side) Wha'cha doin'?
Kari: Writing to our viewers.
Trowa: (who happens to be right in back of Kari) Maybe you can be a bit nicer.
Kari: (jumps) Waaa! What are you trying to do?! Stop my heart! Can you all please let Brittany and myself write to our viewers.
Duo: (rubs Quatre's hair out of place) What's wrong? Worried that poor old Wu-wu might get embarrassed why what you say?
Wufei: (vain mark appears) What did you just call me?!
Duo: Wu-wu!
(Wufei pulls out a gun)
Wufei: Omae o korosu!
(He begins shooting at Duo, who doges and the two are chasing each other. Followed by Quatre who is trying to stop the fight. Brittany is screaming at the top of her lungs to tell everybody to knock it off. Trowa just sits there and watches Kari type. Heero comes in and sits next to Kari on the other side.)
Heero: Working on the fanfic?
Kari: Yeah, but I'm getting no support from the peanut gallery.
(Something crashes in the back of them.)
Trowa: Kari, don't look.
Kari: (sighs) Heero, please get me an asprin so I can start Chapter 3.
Kari: (thinking) I'll never survive with these morons.
