Chapter 2
-------------------------------------------------------------
She woke up the next morning, around 8:00 on her own. She sat up and stretched with a yawn.
Stepping out of her bed, she looked around, and her face regestered shock for just a moment, before realizing she was not in her own room.
She looked around at her clothing. Would Quatre expect her to look rich? Her clothes..... She saw a few ratty looking jeans shorts and tank tops. Nahhh. She picked up her light blue sundress she always wore. She slipped it on and looked at herself in the big mirror on her wall. The best she could do for now until she went shopping here. She brushed her hair quickly, and it fell neatly into place. Doing her bed (her regular routine in the morning), she slipped on a pair of light blue flipflops. Not the kind you wear around a pool, but casual.
She looked back at the clock. 8:30. She still had a little bit of time to look around for some suspicious faces. According to Pluto, the woman who hated her might have a hard time recognizing her unless she was transformed. That is, unless something clicked her memory. However, Ami couldn't think of anything that would, so she left the room having her mini computer and transformation wand in her sub-space pocket.
She walked down the large hallway, admiring the many paintings on the wall. She found herself a little lost. She passed by a room with double doors, painted a dark maroon. Her curiosity got the best of her, and she opened the door.
Peeking her head inside, she heard a small taping sound. Someone was typing. She leaned inside closer, and saw that it was the brown haired boy with the monotone. What was his name? Oh yes, Heero Yui. He suddenly turned to look in her direction. Ami met his serious gaze for only a moment before turning from the doorway and letting the door swing closed behind her
She continued down the hallway. There was another room with double doors, only these doors were not made to imply a grand room. It was made to look more like the doors for a gym. A gym? In a house? She cracked oped the door. The chinese man, Wufei Chang was in the huge room training. there were excersize machines and punching bags set up on one side of the gym, and the side he was on had a large mat. He was practicing a type of karate with a katana.
She closed the door, not wanting him to notice she was there. She passed into a living room. Quatre sat in the room, with another boy with a long bang down his face. He had been introduced to Ami as Trowa Barton.
"oh, miss Ami. Your up, good. Come sit down. Were you exploring the house," he asked, polite as always.
"Yes, you have a lovely house mr. winner," Ami answered.
"Just call me Quatre," he said.
"Only if you drop the miss," Ami answered.
He nodded.
"Alright, Ami. It's nearly time for breakfast, let's go," he said.
"Ok," Ami answered, standing up. She looked over at Trowa. He had been looking at her with the one uncovered eye. When she looked at him he diverted his eye and focused on his book.
"Come on Trowa, I'm sure you're hungry," Quatre said. Trowa nodded and stood. He was pretty tall.
Ami looked around. There was a pool outside the house. Sun streamed in through the windows. The summer free of fighting she had been looking forwards to seemed to be fading away.
They came to the dining room. Ami had figured they would eat at the kitchen table or something, but they seemed to eat at the formal dining room for every meal.
As soon as they sat down, and everything was brought to the table, Heero and Wufie arrived.
"GOOD MORNING!" They all turned to see who was at the doorway. Duo stood there, grinning. He walked in and plopped down next to Ami, his grin not dissapearing.
"Good Morning Ami. You are looking especially lovely today," he said. A slight blush graced her cheeks, and she looked down at her plate.
Duo blinked. Ussually he got a responce.
"So, I was thinking I'd introduce you to everyone around the mansion after breakfast Ami," Quatre said.
This suddenly caught Ami's interest. She looked up at him.
"I think that's a good idea," she said, looking away and sipping her juice. Quatre just nodded and turned back to his eggs.
Heero and Wufei looked at each other.
After breakfast, her and Quatre walked around the estate.
She met a few maids. All very polite and kind. In the back there was a man mowing the lawn.
"James, this is Ami Anderson. She will be vacationing here. My father and her father were VERY close. We only met when we were babies though, as I have recently been told," Quatre said.
Ami smiled at the man in front of her.
"Pleased to meet you," She said.
Next Quatre turned to the old woman weeding the garden.
"Miss Jenkins, this is Ami Anderson," He inroduced. The woman stood and shook Ami's hand, a very kind smile gracing her face.
"What a lovely young lady," the woman said.
Ami's hand lingered in the air for only a moment, before dropping to her side, a frown on her face.
Quatre offered the woman a smile. Ami made eye contact with the woman. A funny look crossed her face and she put her head down.
"Nice to meet you. I uh- should go finish unpacking," she said, hurrying away. Something about that woman set her on edge. And when she shook her hand- she had this terrible feeling...
She shook her head and slowed her pace. She was rude. She would apologize to her later.
Quatre caught up to her. He was silent.
"Well, um, Ami. I hope your comfortable with your stay here. I've already planned a party in the hall so you can meet all my coleagues and friends. Is that Ok with you? It'll be in the hall," he said.
"Thankyou Quatre, It's just fine with me," Ami answered, pushing the guilt back into the depths of her mind.
Quatre watched as she offered a him a gentle smile. He nodded.
--------------------
Ami sat in her room, communicater in her hand.
"Be careful Ami," Usagi's voice said through the communicater.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out," Ami answered.
"So, have you met that girl that wants to kill you," a voice teased through the communicater.
"Mina! Usagi's voice resumed.
"I haven't met the 'girl that wants to kill me'" Ami said with a laugh.
"She wants to take over the estate or something, right," Usagi said.
Ami started to explain.
Meanwhile, Heero was passing by Ami's room. He could here her having a conversation on the
phone. When he peaked into the room, she was sitting on her bed, talking to her watch, he frowned, and backed away from the door. He couldn't make out anything, but did he hear the words kill and takeover? One of those voices wasn't even Ami's...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heero sat down next to Quatre in the library. Quatre looked next to him.
"Hi Heero. You've all been quiet today," Quatre commented.
"I don't trust her," Heero said bluntly.
"You don't trust her? Why, she's a nice girl," he answered, turning back to his book.
"You wouldn't understand. Your so trusting. You can't even begin to imagine being decieved," Heero said, standing.
"Come one Heero. I'm sure the other guys don't feel that way," Quatre said.
"The only other that doesn't is Duo. And he's a fool at heart. Do you even know this girl, to willingly open your estate to her," Heero asked.
"I know enough," Quatre answered.
"Open your eyes Quatre. Be careful. Don't let her get near you, it will only end in disaster," he heard Wufei say from behind Heero. Trowa walked up next to him.
"Are you implying that you are a better judge of character, Heero Yui.", Quatre stated, not really expecting an answer and leaving the room.
Heero looked toward Trowa and Wufei.
"I told you what I heard. Keep an eye out," he said walking away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People started gathering around the mansion around 7:00. Ami had on a simple dark blue knee length dres. It was more casual than formal, and made for a warm summer evening such as this one.
Ami was stopped by several people, who all greeted her and asked her name. They all said they had known her father before the war, and God bless her.
Ami was slightly dazed after all the introductions, unable to keep the guilt down.
Quatre tapped Ami. She stood behind a plant, spying on a few suspicious types, who could be the woman's henchmen or the woman herself. She jumped, and turned to look at him.
"Oh Quatre, it's only you," she said.
"Why are you hiding your pretty face behind this big plant? Come on, were gonna turn on the music and I would like this dance," he said, holding out his hand. Ami blushed and took it. Her guilt was again kept under control as she stared at Quatre's eyes.
He trusted her, she realized. She would try not to make him feel like his trust was wrong. She was pulled out of her reverie when the music started and Quatre gently pulled her toward the dance floor. The first one was a fast song, which surprised her because she had expected all these rich people to only dance to classical music.
They danced for a while, before Ami got tired and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, Duo walked in, looking ridiculous with a rose in his teeth, and pulling her up to her feet.
"Dance with me!"
"Duo," she said with a sigh, becoming slightly embarassed as a bunch of people in the area turned to look.
He dragged her onto the floor anyways, and they did a tango.
Ami managed to get away from crazy Duo for a minute, and dissapeared into the crowd. She was used to blending in, not sticking out. She leaned against a wall, letting the shadows hide her as she studied the crowd.
Wufei walked around the loud room. He saw someone leaning against the wall. At first, he thought it was Heero or Trowa, hiding in the shadows, but he realized it was that weak onna Ami.
Ami thought. If everyone, including the servents was in the hall, then no one was around the rest of the house. A smile came to her face. She could search through everything including Quatre's financial papers to see if there was anything strange, such as bussiness partners and stuff.
Wufei watched as the outling of a smile became visible on her face. She walked out of the shadows of the corner.
Ami had just reached the door when she jumped back all of a sudden because the door swung open and a strange girl in a flashy outfit walked through the door.
"THE PARTY STARTS NOW! WHERE IS QUATRE?"
Ami's mouth hung open slightly.
Relena looked at her in a snobby sort of way, and Ami found Heero, Duo, Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei all behind her.
"Ahhh, Quatre. Lovely party," Relena said aproaching him. She leaned in a pretended to kiss his right and left check, but was actually about a few inches away.
"Muah! Muah! (fake kiss noises) Wheres Heero? I saved plenty for him!"
Quatre tryed to stay calm and stop Relena from making a fool of herself.
"Uh- Relena, this is Ami Anderson. The party was in her honor. You know who she is just by her last name. Ami, this is Relena Peacecraft," he said.
Relena put on a fake smile and approached her.
"Ami! It's VERY nice to meet you! I truly hope we can become friends," Relena said, somehow choking on the last part. She leaned in closer to Ami's ear.
"Seriously girl, if you need to see my fcialist and make up artist, just say the word," she whispered in Ami's ear.
Ami looked at her as if she was crazy.
"Excuse me?"
"Well, I wasn't implying anything Mia-" "It's Ami."
"Right, Ami. I was just, you know," Relena said, looking at Ami and keeping her tone careless.
Quatre stepped in.
"Maybe you should just go see some of your friends over there," he said, ushering to a group of girls near the entrance.
"What them? No way, look at their shoes, they're not even a brand name I recognise from here."
Wufei rolled his eyes.
"Excuse me," Ami said, walking away.
"Hold on Ami," Quatre called.
"You don't need her, I have enough love to go around for everyone," Relena screamed. Trowa leaned in and sniffed Relena to see if she was drunk.
"She's not drunk," he confirmed, standing strait.
Relena steamed.
Quatre walked in the direction where he believed Ami had gone in the rest of the house.
Relena smiled sweetly at the other pilots.
"Wait up!" Duo called. They all ran after Quatre.
Relena looked shocked.
"HEERO!" She decided to give up for now. She approached the group of girls she had thought unworthy, but they snubbed her and walked away.
--------------------------------------
Ami had seen Quatre and ducked behind a pillar. He had walked in a different direction, the other boys following.
She walked down the dark hallway. A door that said- Mr. Winner. She felt the handle. It was open. she walked in. There was a desk, and a chair, with papers in a mess all over it. She went through the papers, turning on the light on the desk. There were several papers about strange bussiness deals with a company called the SMWD.
She heard footsteps outside the door.
"There's a light on in your office," she heard Duo's voice say. She saw a shadow reach for the handle. Ami left the lamp on and opened the window. Good, they were on ground level. She jumped down and cosed the window after her. When the Gundam Pilots walked in, the lamp was still on, making Quatre consider if he'd left it on earlier.
Ami ran around the back, and in through the side door where she entered the hall. She was caught up in a conversation with a few girls around her age and forgot about her worries. When the pilots arrived to see Ami deep in conversation, they suspected nothing. At least, most of them did.
