Disclaimer: Muah ha ha ha ha!! I finally own some things of Gundam Wing -- two mangas, and one model. But I don't own the idea of GW. Although I will find a Trowa pin just to smite Amy. Muah ha ha ha ha ha!!! And I do own Chiron.

A/N: The boys go to the class after lunch. 'Cause everybody has one of these teachers once in their life, I just had to have one in this chapter. Oh, and just for Amy dear, surprise!! We added you into this chapter. So please don't steal her. As before, kidnapping is wrong. And thank you Amy for your review, even if I'm still waiting for new Shattered and Yugi updates. Why is it that I don't recall any cute guys in our chem class (ignoring one ^_^)? Unless that's who you're talking about then *blushes profusely*. And thank you Robin for reviewing twice (the email was for the sequel I posted). Trowa & Chiron and Heero & Wufei hints are on the way and as for Cassandra :) I suggest you check out some Greek mythology for hints.

Strife

Chapter 4 - Mr. Eris

Preventers planned it so that at least two boys would be together in each class. As it turned out, all five boys ended up in Mr. Eris' block 3 Chemistry class. Imagine their surprise when they discover that Chiron is in the same class. Sure Heero belittled himself for not cluing in earlier, but the others took it all in stride.

The six boys stopped as they entered the suddenly silent classroom. Masks were securely in place as the five preventer agents scanned the room ever so subtly. Chiron watched with his golden eyes, taking in all of the boys' movements. All was interrupted when an energetic ball of sunshine jumped up for her chair waving her hand from the back of the room. "Chiron!! Come on, quit standing around and get your cute friends up here." Just as quickly as she appeared, the long blonde headed flurry disappeared behind her desk.

"Uhhh, who was that?" asked Duo with a somewhat puzzled look.

As they started to climb up to the back level of the room, Chiron smiled warmly. "That, my friends, was Amy. She's fairly demanding at times, but she's hilarious to be around. Just watch her when we do labs, she gets a little scary then. Trust me on this one." When they got to the back of the classroom, the boys were able to get a better look at Amy. Thin-framed glasses that appeared to have a tendency to slip ever so slightly on her little nose covered grey-green eyes. Long wavy locks of dirty blonde hair cascaded down around her. They reached a little more than half way down her back. Her clothing attire was one of a slight tomboy. A teal collar was around her neck along with a turtle pendant. A pale grey t-shirt and faded jeans were finished off with pitch-black runners. Overall, she looked remarkably comfortable as she giggled complacently while reading a manga. Chiron signaled the others to take seats along the classroom-long desktop as he gracefully sat himself down beside Amy. He smiled ever so slightly when Trowa sat himself beside him.

Chiron turned to Amy with a frown upon his face when she continued to ignore his presence. "You tell me to hurry and bring the guys up here, then you totally ignore us. You know that's very rude. And I know that I'm feeling absolutely unloved right now. In fact, I think we'll go sit somewhere else if you'll excuse us."

When Chiron still did not receive any form of acknowledgement, he began to pout. "Oh come on Amy!! You can't STILL be mad at me about that. I told you I was sorry, what more do you want? Do I have to beg again? You know . . ."

He was cut off abruptly as Amy closed her manga with a large smile, which she turned on the six boys. "Sorry about that, I had to finish reading before Mr. Eris comes in. He's slightly temper mental about me reading in his class. Says he calls and calls to me, but I don't hear. I think he's just out to get me or something. But enough about me, tell me about you. Oh yeah, and considering Chiron doesn't look like he wants to introduce us, I'm Amy Barton. And might I suggest introducing yourselves? The other students will continue to eavesdrop until they all get a good impression of you." Some of the near by students tensed and began talking again as if to play innocent. Amy just smirked and motioned toward them. "See."

Chiron leaned back into his chair and shrugged indifferently which the other boys took as a 'go ahead'. They began the introductions in order down the desktop starting with Trowa. "I'm Trowa Barton." Amy's eyebrow rose.

"Quatre Winner, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Amy gave a hard look.

"Duo Maxwell, my dear." Amy's eyes danced with delight as Duo stood and bowed to her.

"Heero Yuy." Recognition hit and Amy opened her mouth cutting off Wufei.

"Oh this is just too rich." She turned to Wufei practically twitching with insuppressible enthusiasm. "Let me guess, Chang Wufei right?" At the surprised and impressed looks she received, she continued at a whisper and they all leaned in. "You guys are the Gundam pilots from the war aren't you?? I just know you are. This is so cool. What are you guys doing here?" Little hand movements emphasized each sentence and her eyes were aglow as she absentmindedly pushed up her glasses.

Before Amy could get her answers, a stout little Russian man entered the classroom. Short dark brown hair was groomed to perfection, as was the short but thick beard. Small dark beady eyes bore into the class as he fixed minute pieces of clothing. The room went dead silent as the students turn around properly in their chairs. Chiron, seeing the puzzlement in Trowa's eyes as he and the others eyed the rest of the class, quickly wrote a message of silence from the boys or it'd be detention for a month, new or not. Reading the message, Trowa signaled to the others for absolute silence. All five boys tensed as this mysterious teacher turned his gaze upon them.

"And what do we have here?" asked the teacher in a heavy Russian accent. Pulling out a neatly folded white sheet of paper, he began to read off names. "Barton, Trowa; Chang, Wufei; Maxwell, Duo; Winner, Quatre; Yuy, Heero up to the front for introductions now."

As the guys began to rise, Chiron began to write furiously. Trowa quickly read the message was the boys were about to leave. Do exactly as he says. You do not want to get a detention. He has a thing for cute boys and girls. Trowa shot Chiron a 'what the hell are you talking about' type look and left with the others for the front of the room. Nobody seemed to notice the slight taps that the five boys were using to communicate with, but by the end of the short trip it was decided that Wufei would get a detention. Duo was slightly heartbroken that he couldn't, but was reminded that he went a little overboard at times.

As they lined up in front of the thirty-person class, the teacher gave all of the boys a quick one over. "I'm Mr. Eris, I'll be your Chemistry teacher for your stay at Guebert. Behave and we won't have any problems. Now, introduce yourselves, you're going into the class' learning time." Wufei snorted indignantly at the teacher's weak threat.

Since Wufei was the closest to the teacher, it was assumed that he would go first, but he just stood there looking totally indifferent about the entire situation. Shooting Wufei a quick glare, Heero began his introduction. "I'm Heero Yuy." The students stared at him in speculation. They've taken Social Studies and had been forced to do current events. There were only two Heero Yuy's to them in the world. One Heero Yuy being a dead pacifist and the second, a young boy that saved the earth from becoming uninhabitable. The first option was out of the question, but the second seemed utterly preposterous. Besides, this guy looked far too short. Mr. Eris just raised an eyebrow and did an impatient wave with his hand signaling for Heero to keep going. "We are all from Rupert High in Edmonton." Heero took a step back and refused to even look at Mr. Eris.

"Duo Maxwell, I may run and I may hide, but I never tell a lie. That's me in a nutshell." Duo had a big warm smile that made the girls in the class melt. But still that name rang a bell in the students' heads as well. Something about a God of Death to be exact.

With a very friendly smile, Quatre began his introduction. "Good afternoon. I'm Quatre Raberba Winner." Quatre would have continued his introduction if a girl hadn't fallen off of her chair. Arms and hair flying into the air, a soft bang could be heard as she hit the floor. With her face aflame and red hair all arrayed, she quickly scrambled into her chair again. Quatre smiled sweetly to her and nodded his head to the class.

Trowa was going to go through the whole 'I have no name' thing, but thought better of it. So with a quick look at the back of the room, Trowa spoke. "You may call me Trowa Barton if you like."

"And something about yourself boy?" asked Mr. Eris in a snide tone.

"I'm an acrobat and have performed in a circus." came Trowa's quiet reply.

"Very well then." Mr. Eris turned to Wufei with a firm scowl. "Introduce yourself to the class."

Wufei met that scowl with a deadly glare. In a pompous tone he replied, "Why should I? The class already knows who I am. I know I clearly heard my name from the back of the class." At this the rest of the class openly gawked at the teacher and five new students. Mr. Eris was turning a red as a beet, some crazy Chinaman by the name Wufei was mouthing off the meanest teacher in the school, a boy by the name Heero Yuy was staring straight forward showing no outward appearance of concern for his surroundings, Duo Maxwell who was smiling at the spontaneously placed posters on the walls, Quatre Winner who was smiling warmly to the other students in the class, and a impassive looking Trowa who appeared to be looking at nothing and everything at the same time, it was turning out to be a very entertaining Monday afternoon.

"That's enough! Introduce yourself to the class at once and after class we will discuss your detention." yelled Mr. Eris after finally loosing his cool.

"All you needed to do was say please. Is a little courtesy too much to ask for being a new student and all?" Before the teacher could answer the comment, Wufei faced the class. "I'm Wufei and I have nothing to tell about myself that will help you in your learning process at the moment." Dismissing himself, Wufei began to make his way back to his seat while the others followed silently behind.

Upon re-sitting, Chiron muttered to himself. "It's gonna be a long week." Amy giggled and poked him in the side as Mr. Eris proceeded to teach the difference between molarity and molality (1).

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(1) - Molarity and Molality: Yeah, learnt that this semester. Still don't recall which is which though.

Cob: Those pokes hurt!! But are we ever going to learn about *scrunches index finger and bobs it around* Mr. Evil Dude and his conquest of the school. Or his mission even?

Connor: I suppose we could try and fit it in the next chapter or the one after.

Creed: *Thinks about it* Ok, after the second confrontation between Wufei and Mr. Eris, supper and detention.

Carolyn: Anybody else think all that is going to equal a really long chapter?
