Chapter 5-Unexpected
On the other side of town a certain so-called flake was getting ready for her stay at the military school, or as she liked to call it the school run by the devil incarnate. With his emotionless glares, large muscled body and those amazing blue eyes, was it any wonder that she couldn't get him out of her head? Bu then she did have the habit of being a bit stubborn about something's and in this case she was determined to find out why he wasn't at least friendly towards her like his nice friends Quatra and Duo.
Having not noticed how quickly the time had gone by she quickly got changed and went towards the firing range that existed on her small mansion that was situated on the outside of the town. She always went there when she felt that she was getting out of practice, after all Pluto had warned all of them that their work was not finished yet. Supposedly the biggest and most important battle of their lives was going to happen soon and they had been warned to be prepared.. So every Sunday and Wednesday they got together to do some light training. Guns, self-defense, perfecting their attacks and generally all the things that they normally did together. Serena was an ace shot and was well versed in all the defense methods as well as the attack methods. She had been made an honorary member of the red dragon clan last summer during the Meremima wars along with the rest of the girls, which where famous for the introduction of the famous Gundams and Gundam Pilots. She had been informed that the pilot of Natuku, one of the Gundam pilots was also a member of their clan.
Off course she didn't realize that the school she was going to was run by those same Gundam pilots and so she went around her daily routine and at 10 o'clock she feel into bed exhausted. Everything had been packed and she was ready to go to that school tomorrow. Her last conscious though was "I hope to hell they don't expect me to eat that slop that they call food, I must remember to bring some snacks"
So was it any wonder that the next day that she was seen trying to pull a jumbo sized bag out of her car outside the military school, full of food off course!
Quatra being the only one who didn't have classes at that time was slightly surprised to find out what was in the bag but kept it to himself. Being the gentleman that he was he offered to carry the bag for her, and she gave the bag to him. What was even more surprising to him was the size of the bag that carried her clothes; it was barely big enough To carry overnight clothes in, never mind having enough clothes in they're for a full Week. Quatra was lucky enough to have already meet her began to give her that tour of the place after he had set her up in one of the apartments that where situated on the base, lucky enough it had a kitchen. During the tour, Serena found out that the majority of students here where boys and that she had been situated in an apartment along with the rest of the girls because their barracks where still in the process of being built. Quatra guided her back to her barracks and gave her directions to her first class which was Mechanic's with a certain Duo Maxwell, who she had gotten to know really well when he had done some jobs for the girls and her. Waving good bye to Quatra and having extracted a promise from him that he would have dinner with her later on she went into her apartment and got changed. Ten minutes later in what she thought where appropriate clothes for the place she was in, she went looking for the class. Staying true to the directions that Quatra had given her she found herself in a classroom that strongly resembled Duo in nature, Basically the place was a mess. Calling out Duo's name she made her way to the place where she assumed he was and sure enough she found him. Considering he seemed to be deeply engrossed in something mechanical she decided to look around until he was finished and so she never noticed when he did finish. Until he gave a small cough. Duo realizing someone was calling out to him gave a reply to the voice, never looking up from the engine. About a minute later he looked up and found to his surprise that Serena had arrived, and did she look good our what? Dressed in a tight fitting white tank top, tight camouflage shorts and black boots, she looked like she belonged here he thought to himself, although Heero and Wu fei where going to have something to say about her outfit. This was going to be a fun week. Tapping her on the shoulder he was surprised to see that she too had some military training which was why he found himself on the ground in a very awkward position. Serena realizing that it was a friend quickly got off and offered a helping hand. Much to Duo's surprise when he was up, she gave him a hug.
"I am so glad to see you, Duo. Do you want to have dinner at my place tonight? Quatra said he was coming and it would be nice to be surrounded by friends" All this said in one very quick sentence and that goodness Duo was use to her way of talking when she was happy or he would only have got as far as her welcome.
"I would be happy to come. So what are you making? It's not my favorite, is it?"
Seeing her head nod in acknowledgement he released a laugh and said, "It is so good to have friends like you! So what do you thing of our little school so far"
"It's okay. But I haven't seen much of it yet. I'm supposed to have strategy with a Mr. Barton in about an hour. Is he any good?
"Trowa, he's the best. But he's not very talkative, ever since that incident!"
"What incident?" Serena asked not unkindly.
"Well his female partner in war named lighting strike, she suddenly disappeared about two years ago just before he joined the Gundam pilots. He's never been the same since. I think he is still looking for her." Duo realizing what he had said suddenly paled.
"You.you won't say anything to anyone about us will you, about us all being Gundam pilots. Will you?"
"No, duo. We all have secrets to hide." "Even me" Was said under her breath, Although Duo being Duo heard but didn't comment.
"I'll walk you to the next class. My class working on projects over in the metal workroom anyway and that's on its way."
And so Duo and Serena walked over to the metal workroom, they talked about every thing under the sun but mostly about how to get Mina to go out with him. She had been refusing his more then generous offers and only Serena seemed to know why. Before long they where outside Trowa's door an Duo left her after introducing her to Trowa.
"So you're the one that is going to beat Heero at his own game, are you?"
"Yeah that's me. I'm going to teach him a lesson he'll never forget. Once I get him in my school he is under my control, and he will learn the meaning of enjoying yourself." Letting a very unlike Serena laugh out of her (It sounded more like a cackle) She realized something
"Weren't you supposed to be the quiet one?"
"Who told you that?" Nothing showed on his face, or what little face you could see through the hair covering half his face anyway.
"Duo of course."
"That would explain it. I only talk when I feel like talking but I seem want to talk around you. That's strange!"
"No it's not, not if you know what my friends are like. Anyway would you like to come to my place tonight for dinner? Duo and Quatra are coming."
"Can you make edible food. If so yes."
Giving Trowa a hug Serena pulled back and asked him "Why would you want to know whether I can make edible food? But yes I can make edible food, I was trained by the best."
"I once knew this girl whose best friend blew up the kitchen while trying to boil an egg. It kind of made me cautious."
"Okay I can understand that, I used to know somebody that did the same thing, but she's changed a lot since that time. She turned away to hide the tell tale blush. The girls were still teasing her about that little incident even though it happened over five years ago before she went away to train with princess Starlight, but that was a hole other story. As her mind flew from one topic to another, Trowa stood silent beside her. He had often seen that look come on Duo's face and had an idea of what would happen if he were to interrupt her. Serena doing some calculations in her head realized that it was entirely possible that this man standing in front of her was Lita's lost partner, Chameleon. She was still searching for him even too this day, never giving up hope. She had lost him during the final battle between the Gundams and the then insane Milliardo Peacecraft. A smirk crossed her face as she realized the implications of this stroke of luck. Breaking out of her thoughts she turned to Trowa and went inside to her second class that day. Needless to say she did okay, thanks manly to Haruka (Uranus).
In all her day was quiet normal, The gang of men came over and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately when the guys saw Duo cleaning up after himself, they knew something was wrong and Duo had to tell the guys the whole story about what happened, and how he knew Serena. By the end of the night they had gotten over their anger and having their drinks spiked and where laughing their heads of over the antics of a certain Heero and Wu Fei. It seemed that the drug had brought out all the things they had wanted to do during their training with the good doctors. Through their convulsions of laughter, Trowa and Quatra manged to choke out a phrase that continually echoed in Duo's brain for the remainder of Serena's stay at the school. Holding their stomachs to stop the stitches from happening a certain blonde man choked out "They certainly were." only to be convulsed in helpless laughter as he compared what he was about to say, to the people that he knew today.
A certain brown haired man following his train of thought finished of the sentence ".Randy teenagers!"
Serena not really knowing these two guys all that well, could not help but laugh herself as she remembered what they where like at the party and what they where like when she ran into them. The group of friends not realizing what time it was fell asleep on the coaches in positions that where very uncomfortable and that you would think would be impossible to sleep in, but what can they really say, they where exhausted.
