Chapter 3-Something to drool about
Duo was up and waiting in front of the school at the exact time the girl's had said but unfortunately the girl's where not. Hearing some music coming from a big building to the right of him he went to investigate and found something that he never thought he would ever see without putting his name to the long list of people waiting to see the lovely Serenity and her court in action. Of course all her court wore masks during their performance but you could tell who they where if you where familiar with her friends which most people where not.
As Duo made himself comfortable in the in the shadows the surrounded the ring, he watched in amazement as the six girl's wearing the skimpiest costumes he had ever seen started warm up exercises. Twisting and turning their bodies in ways he wasn't even sure was clinically safe for their bodies.
The girl in the white costume stepped forward and started to speed skate around the ring. About a minute in to it and having circled the ring a good five times, she twisted her body to the right and then flew into a perfect triple axial as if it was as natural as breathing and not one of the most time consuming and most difficult moves in the business. As she was doing this the other girl's where getting into different positions evenly spread out and where waiting for serenity to finish or a t least that is what he assumed.
She stopped just as suddenly and with a gesture to somebody in the speaker room, and 'One girl revolution' by HOKU blasted out of the speakers that surrounded the room. As the music blasted out of the system the girl's then proceeded to do the most difficult performance effortlessly and in perfect time to the beat of the music. At the end of the performance Duo could not help but stand up and clap quiet forgetting that he was not supposed to be there in the heat of the moment.
As he started to clap five girls' heads whipped about to the exact spot that he was with almost war like looks on their faces. As duo stepped into the light each girl seemed to relax and went back to their positions of winding down after their practice. Serena exited the rink and quickly got rid of her skates.
As she headed up towards me I could not help but wonder " What the rest of the pilots would say when she visited our school and topped all of the classes as I have know doubt that she will but I really doubt that either Heero or Wu fei will survive. This I can not wait to see hee hee hee." He seemed to snap out of whatever trance he was in when I waved my hand in front of his face. "You where really amazing out there. Would you answer one question before I get to work?" At Serena's nod, I asked, "How many hours of practice did that whole routine take to perfect?" "About one hundred and twenty hours out of each week for a month. Not much really, we've done harder but we've perfected this act. So now that I've answered your question I've drawn out a list of the places that you are supposed to go on each day of the week and if you just get their on time the girl's will tell you what to do. I have written the names and days that you are to help each girl on a single peace of paper and their addresses on another piece of paper. Memorise the last and then destroy it. You will be starting at Lita's restaurant first. So when she comes out you can get a lift with her and a helpful tip Duo, never make her angry with you."
And with that helpful bit of advice, Duo watched as she rejoined the rest of the girl's at the perimeter of the rink where they where removing there skates.
A tall brunette wearing a green mask separated herself from the rest of the girl's and walked towards him after removing her mask and handing it to Serena.
He guessed she was Lita, and waited for her to reach him. As he waited he speculated on who would be most suited to her out of his bunch of army buddies. Wu fei wouldn't do, she was to tall and she looked like she wouldn't stand a minute in his company with his weak onna's bullshit, Mina was going to be his so that left him out. Heero was to like her they both had sadness in their eyes, Quatra was too small and to nice. A light bulb appeared over his head Figuratively speaking of course. Trowa was perfect. He was taller then her by a good three inches, they both looked like it took them a long time to make friends but once they did they where your friends for life. And they both seemed to have an air of hidden strength about them like they could take whatever life through at them. They would be perfect together and now how to get them together. His train of thought was interrupted by a light cough and he looked up into the most dazzling pair of emerald green eyes he had ever seen. He promptly lost his train of thought yet again. The woman smiled and waited with a smile on her face for him to introduce himself. When this didn't happen, She looked down to see if their was anything wrong with her appearance and finding nothing decided to take the initiative.
Holding out her hand She said " My name is Lita and you must be Duo. It is a pleasure to meet you. If you would follow me in your car I will show you to my restaurant and we can get started." And so it began, Duo worked harder for those girls then he had ever previously worked before but he also learned that they where very friendly peoples and really loved each other. They would even die for each other should the need ever arise and unknown to him they had done so many times before. Although Duo had good friends he couldn't help but wonder would he ever do the same for his friends, Sacrifice everything so they may live a normal life and his answer was yes he would even for Wu Fei who he seemed to annoy the most. On he worked, Doing endless dishes in Lita's restaurant, Sweeping countless floors and mats in Rei's temple, repainting walls in Serena's school, Cleaning up experiments in Amy's school and his favourite part of the week working with Mina in her Salon cleaning and repairing broken equipment. During the week he fell into bed at 7 at night and awoke at 6 in the morning. But at the end of the week he could not say he had not enjoyed himself even if he had to work because he now had five more friends and he was the better for it. Serena was helping him win over Mina and Amy was teaching him Science. While Rei taught him to speak Japanese and use the Katana, Lita was his favourite because she fed him and didn't seem to mind that he had a black hole for a stomach. None of the Gundam pilots had copped on to what he was doing and none of them remembered what happened on that faithful day that marked their ultimate downfall. And so life continued as usual until The day came when Serena was to go to Heero's military school for two weeks as the bet had stipulated and following her stay in his school he was to go to her school the week after she returned to her school. And so the war of the sexes began with each participant resisting just as strongly as if they where fighting over something that decided the faith of the world.
