Surprise:
Chapter 5: Escape
"Would you excuse us?" asked Quatre.
After Duo and Michelle had returned they all talked some more. More questions were asked, which of course were answered but most answers didn't make much sense, which resulted in more confusion.
Heero opened the door and stepped out of the room followed by Duo and Quatre.
"What do you guys think?" asked the blonde pilot as soon as he closed the door behind himself.
"I think Michelle's hot! That's what I think!"
"Duo! This is not the time for that! Heero, what do you have to say about this?"
"The only thing I have to say is that those three can't be trusted. If they're from OZ, they should have come up with a better story since I really didn't buy anything that they just told us." he stated monotone as usual.
"But there has to be a logical explanation for all of this, what if they're telling the truth—
Quatre got interrupted.
"And what if they're not? Wait until they knock us out, steal our stuff and run away!" argued Heero.
"I think Michelle likes me, do you guys think she likes me? I think she doe—
"Duo!!" both Quatre and Heero snapped.
As Quatre, Heero and Duo continued arguing about the situation at hand, back in Quatre's study the three girls were pressed against the door listening to every word they were saying. As the three Gundam Pilots were arguing about senseless things, Kat motioned for them to move away from the door.
"What should we do you guys? They think we're lying and that we're OZ spies! I mean I don't even know what an Oz is!" Kat slowly started to panic.
"Duo thinks I'm hot…" Mich mumbled as she looked at the door in a dazed kinda way.
"Mich, this isn't the time! Ok here's the plan: they come, we fall on the floor and act like we're having a seizure, when they approach we jump them, knock them out and make a run for it! How's that?" Lex declared very proudly.
"As extremely dumb as that sounds, it just might work actually! Although they ARE 3 strong looking guys…I think we can take them out! And if we don't, we risk the chance of being shot by Heero! What a way to die…I'm in!" said Mich who was now paying attention.
"WHAT?! You're not serious are—
Kat stopped talking and all three of them jerked their heads to the side and were staring at the doorknob which was slowly turning.
The door opened and the three pilots stepped through. //Oh, JEBUS!// Kat rolled her eyes and the girls dropped to the floor, thrashing violently, kicking and clawing at the air. They started foaming and drooling at the mouth and making weird noises, sounding like dying raccoons or some other dying, wild, rabid animals.
Hearing the strange sounds, the guys snapped their eyes forward, staring at the scene in front of them.
"Quick! They're having seizures!" the guys quickly rushed over to Kat, Mich and Lex's side and as they were kneeling down, they quickly got pulled to the ground and knocked out.
The whole thing happened so fast that no one had any time to react, miraculously it all worked out in the girls' favor.
"Wow…Hey Lex, your plan actually worked! Poor Heero though…he looks…so pissed! And yet he's unconscious…that's just sad…"Kat said as she got off the floor and looked at the three unconscious figures sprawled at her feet.
"*sniffles* I can't believe I just knocked out Duo! He'll never like me ever again for what I just did! It's all your fault Alexa!"
"WHAT?! You're the one who agreed with me! Oh well…" she bent down beside Heero and snatched his gun that was safely secured to the back of his boxers (A/N: if you remember correctly Mich was the only who changed! The rest are still in there pj's…xept Duo...he's still in a robe. O.o) "Guess he won't be needing this! *yoink*" she said evilly.
"What now? Do we tie them up or anything? Or just leave them here on the floor?" Mich asked while walking around the guys.
"Well if we tie them up they'll just get majorly, MAJORLY pissed off! They'll prolly try to hunt us down and plot revenge. So I suggest leaving them where they are and umm…maybe leave a note or something? Apologizing about knocking them out and uhh…taking a few things?" Kat suggested.
"That's good…but what did you mean by 'taking a few things'?" Lex gave Kat a skeptical look.
"Well unlike Michelle WE'RE NOT PROPERLY CLOTHED, we have NO money, nothing!" Kat responded.
"So let's explore and take ONLY what we need, I'm sure Quatre won't mind…much…"
Mich motioned to her two friends to get going before the pilots regained consciousness.
"Wait! The note!" Lex ran over to Quatre's desk, she opened the first drawer on the left side and found a stack of blank papers neatly stacked, she grabbed one and took a pen that was lying on the desk.
Quatre,
Sorry about the whole knocking out thing, we panicked and didn't know what to do; we thought you'd kill us or something!
-Lex, Mich, Kat
P.S
On our way out we borrowed a few of your things, thanks!
She signed it with all of their names and left it on the desk. The three quickly left the room and started exploring through the halls, going into one room after another finding nothing but empty guest rooms, closets, bathrooms, useless things until they stumbled into one interesting yet not so interesting to look at room.
"Hey I know this room!" Kat yelled as she pushed past Mich and Lex and stepped into the center of the room.
"Well...what's so special about this room?" Mich asked still standing in the doorway.
"It's Heero's room! Let's explore!" Kat took off for the closet.
"It's so…dull…there's nothing really here" Lex looked around the room, there was nothing special about it, the walls were bare, painted white, there was just a bed set in the corner against the wall with a small nightstand right beside. A small desk was placed across the room against another wall and would you look at that! A laptop was on it!
"I really don't get it…he lives in a mansion with a millionaire for a friend but when you walk into his room you'd think he lives in poverty and survives on welfare or something!" Lex slyly approached his unprotected laptop, "Come to mama!" and swiped the small computer off the desk.
"Hey!! This is so cheap! There's nothing in this closet! It's so empty and crappy!" Kat shouted in disappointment.
"Here let ME see" Mich walked into the room and into the closet where Kat stood. "Well its not COMPLETELY empty…look there, it's some small button thing…" she reached over to push the tiny almost unsuspecting button placed on the ceiling of the closet. Suddenly there was a beeping sound that could be heard and a small door like thing at the back of the closet opened up.
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" both Mich and Kat said in unison. They slowly approached the small door and peaked inside, unfortunately they couldn't see anything since it was pitch black.
"How do you turn on the lights?" Kat asked then shrieked a second later as the lights flickered on, illuminating the secret room.
"Hey cool! It's like a voice activation kinda thing!" Mich said very impressed as she stepped into the room, she looked behind herself, //Wut the hell??// she thought, still in the actual closet was Kat who was pressed against a wall covering her face with her hands.
"My…eyes…they burn! The light…the light…it hurts…" she mumbled over and over.
"Get over yourself and get over here!" Mich instructed.
"Yes mother…" Kat muttered as she slowly walked over to where her friend was standing at the entrance to the secret room. They both looked ahead and gasped at what they saw.
"A-Alexa!!! C-Come! Now!" Mich stuttered, too full of shock to be able to talk properly.
Holding the laptop under her arm, Lex made her way towards the closet and into the newly discovered room.
"What is it?" she asked as she looked passed her friends and at the sight ahead.
"HOLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTT!!" They all said at the same time. Covering 3 walls were guns. Just guns, ONLY guns. All different kinds, big small, you name it, it was DEFINITELY there! The floor was littered with boxes, some closed and some open and they were all labeled either with 'DANGER' 'THIS SIDE UP' 'EXPLOSIVES' 'TNT' and so on. On the last wall there were two doors which led to who knows where but curiosity got the best of them and the three curiously and cautiously approached one of the doors and opened it. When nothing happened, they peeked through but saw nothing but darkness.
"Lights on" Mich said //Whoa cool! It worked!//, and the lights flickered on revealing a closet, ok, a very HUGE ass closet filled with tons of clothes. But they didn't appear to be simple everyday clothes, there were outfits and costumes, and spy clothes and… "Is that an OZ uniform?" Mich asked.
They exited his REAL closet and closed the door behind themselves, but not before Mich said "Lights off." and the lights dimmed down until they were completely off. They moved on to the second door and opened it with a little more ease this time.
"Lights on" This time it was Lex who said it.
"Hey! I was supposed to say that!" Mich gave Lex an evil glare.
Kat just rolled her eyes and looked into the uh…room? There seemed to be a flight of stairs leading to a basement or something.
Mich and Lex nudged Kat to go down and check it out, obviously not trusting whatever possibly lurked down there, Kat grabbed Mich and Lex by the arms and dragged them with her. As they reached the bottom, they stood just staring at the wonderful site in front of them, so many…nice…shiny…new…sport…untouched…cars. Not only cars but there were some motorcycles too. They were all so shiny…
As each of the girls walked around and looked at some of the cars, Lex spotted a small display case on a nearby wall, as she got closer to it she realized what was inside; KEYS!!
"Guys over here!!!" she shrieked with excitement.
As the other two ran up to her, their faces brightened as they saw what Lex had found.
"Should we?" asked Mich.
"Yes, we should!"
"Katia! Are you crazy?! We can't take/steal/borrow a CAR?! Then it's for sure that they'll hunt us down and kill us!" Lex said sternly, pointing a dangerous index finger in Kat's face.
//Man…she sounds like my mother! O.O// Kat just rolled her eyes. As she turned her head towards the case again, she spotted what she had been looking for, the keys to her precious dream car that were only an arm's reach away. She quickly swiped them and took off towards her new ride.
"Katia! What are you doing?! I said no!! You can't even drive!! You're only 15!! Katia!!!" Lex started running towards the car that Kat just sat in; a black Lamborghini Diablo!
Now sitting in HER new car, Kat rolled down the window and just gave Lex a grin, "I can too drive! I've been driving ever since I was 10, my dad taught me at night. And besides, we NEED this, how are we supposed to get around? The BUS?!" she started to snicker then quieted down. "Now come on…get Mich over here and we'll take it out onto the driveway or something, then go back into the house and continue our little adventure of 'explore and steal'"
"We're not stealing! We're just…borrowing…and only things we NEED. Just remember that…" Lex warned her.
"Oh and you just NEED Heero's laptop don't you now?" Kat said motioning with her head at the laptop still in Lex's grasp.
"Oh…well this? Well uh…I just wanted to check out what was on it…that's all…" Lex stepped away from the car and looked around the room for Mich who seemed to have disappeared somewhere.
"Mich went off somewhere…" she informed Kat who was waiting.
"What?! Gah…" Kat turned off the engine and got out of the car. "Don't worry now, I'll be RIGHT back…"
Lex just sweat dropped and started heading towards the stairs they used to come down. //Well then…there's something new…she talks to cars now!//
When they got to the top, they saw Mich examining some of the guns with interest.
"Mich what are you doing?" Lex walked over to her and Kat followed.
"Oh, well…I was just thinking…we don't even know where we are and what's out there…so I just thought we could…you know? 'Equipped' ourselves with some protection." She said it so simply.
"First we're taking Heero's or Quatre's car and now guns?!?! This is going to GUARANTEE our deaths!!! If these are, which I don't doubt, HEERO'S guns, and probably down there are HIS cars, HE WILL NEVER REST UNTIL HE FINDS US AND SEES THAT WE DIE A VERY SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH BY HIS HANDS!!!!!!" Lex started to freak out.
"Whoa! Relax! At this rate you'll pop a vein or something if you don't calm down! I KNOW what I'm doing…and he won't miss 5-6 guns…I'm sure he has spares anyways!"
"What?! 5-6?!?!?! Ok if I were him I'd go crazy if ONE of my guns were missing! I'm pretty sure he treasures them like his own children! His little 'babies', I bet he's so paranoid he comes here and polishes them like 5 times a day! The same goes for the cars too, I swear I thought I was gonna go blind they were so shiny!"
Mich couldn't take it, this was too good, same goes for Kat who was standing there witnessing Alexa's angriness. They both erupted in laughter, clutching their stomachs from the pain.
"Guys this isn't funny! I'm serious! Arrrgh!! You people are IMPOSSIBLE! Fine DO what you want! But when Heero is pointing one of his 'babies' in your face, I'll be there saying 'I TOLD YA SO!'"
Mich and Kat abruptly stopped laughing and looked at each other as huge smiles appeared on their faces, each knew what the other was thinking as they charged the walls and started grabbing gun after gun after gun…
"Come on Lex! Help us out!" Kat told her
"What am I getting myself into…" she muttered, slowly approached an untouched wall and removing the guns that were hung and displayed.
When none of them could carry anymore, they headed downstairs to Kat's new 'baby' and dumped the load into the trunk. After freeing their arms they ran back upstairs to gather the rest of the guns.
"Why are we taking ALL of them?!" Lex questioned.
In mid grab, both Mich and Kat stopped and looked over at Lex, "Good point" They said and stopped snatching, then they grabbed some boxes full of ammo and went down to the car and dump their new equipment.
All three got into the car and started figuring out how to get out of this underground garage type of thing.
"There!!" Mich pointed towards a big closed door.
"Alright then, here we go" and the car went into motion.
"Kat if you crash us, I will beat you, we will both beat you, right Mich?"
"That's for sure!"
"Guys…I'm only going like 5km/h!! CHILL!"
As they approached the door, it started to lift and open, revealing the very large driveway. When they were finally completely outside, the car stopped and they all stepped out.
Looking back, they saw that the door was now closing.
"So…into the house again?" Mich asked.
"Yup" replied Lex.
So back inside they went.
At first they went around and explored the first floor, not really interested in the electronics and appliances, what they really needed were some clothes and some…ok LOTS of money.
"If I were a millionaire, where would I keep my money?" Mich thought her question out loud.
"I'd keep it in a bank." Kat said.
"No I meant where in my HOUSE."
"If *I* were a 15 year old millionaire I'd hide it under my mattress." Lex suggested.
"Well, I guess its' worth a try to look…uh…which way to his room?" Mich asked.
"Dunno…let's go explore and maybe we'll find it." Kat said and they headed towards the massive staircase.
//Gah…not this again!!// Lex mentally whined as they started climbing the stairs to the second floor.
When they reached the top, they decided to split up to cover more ground so they can get out of there faster, ironically there were three hallways, on leading to the right, left and the front.
Mich went left, Kat to the right and Lex went straight ahead. Every 5 seconds you could hear a door open and slam shut as each girl went down her own hallway searching.
~~
Mich's POV
*Sigh* this is SO confusing…is this a dream? I've never had one like this before where I saw me, Lex and Kat with a bunch of guys –*sweatdrop*-- scratch that…yes I have, a very DETAILED and uh REVEALING one at that.
Ugh, why did I get stuck with the closet and bathrooms hall?? Dum dee dum dum dum lalalala—
HUH?!?! I pushed open the door a little wider and flicked on the lights, JACKPOT!! I found Duo's room!! Ewww!! It's so DISGUSTING!!!! There was dirty laundry all over the place as I tried to avoid it as I tiptoed around the area. The windows were draped with heavy black curtains that blocked out the sunlight. The walls were painted black and the bed sheets were a mix between black and red satin.
OH MY GOD!!!! I looked at some of the walls and they were covered with VERY revealing posters of models. My god…he's so horny!!! Scattered on the wooden floor and the desk that was set in the corner of the room were loads of porno magazines. Hmmm I wonder what's on his closet, as I opened the closet door; I didn't have time to react as I was suddenly buried in a pile of clothes that fell on me. *Grumbles* I started to push all the clothes off of me when something shiny caught my eye.
Hidden in the very back of the closet, something wrapped in a dark purple silk seemed very suspicious to me. I crawled over to it and slowly started to unwrap it. HOLY SHIT!!! It's a SCYTHE!!!! I looked at it in awe as I held the precious object in my hands.
Meh…no ones gonna miss it. I wrapped it in the cloth and ran out of the room holding the scythe in a tight grip and started heading back to meet Lex and Kat since Duo's door was the last one in this hall.
~~
Kat's POV
Hmmm…why does this hallway seem strangely familiar? I continued down the hall when I stopped in front of two wooden doors covered in fancy carvings. Hey…isn't this Quatre's study room? My eyes widened as I remembered how we knocked out the guys who were prolly still lying unconscious on the carpeted floor within the room. I grasped the knob and started to slowly turn and push the door open just a tiny bit.
I poked my head into the room and almost dropped dead from shock. QUATRE WAS MOVING!!!! Holy shit!! What do I do!! He's regaining consciousness and it won't be long before the other pilots do too.
I quietly closed the door and dashed down the hall in a hurry to warn my buds.
~~
Lex's POV
Huh? Let's see what's in this room. Whoa! Look at all the swords! I don't think we need anything from here. I better keep looking. I kept walking when I reached a forest green colored door. Who would paint their door green?! I curiously opened the door and peeked in. *Sweatdrop* the whole damn room is green…I looked up at the walls and saw they were covered in…clown…posters…? Man…this person has MAJOR issues…
I left the room and continued walking. I now reached the very last door down this hall and still no sign of Quatre's room. If this isn't it, then either Kat or Mich found it. I took a deep breath and pushed open the door. I opened my eyes and almost fell over. Yup this is Quatre's room alright, who else would decorate their room in pink and purple colors? Guh, well here goes nothing. I walked over to the bed and with some struggling managed to lift part of the mattress up, to my disappointment there was no money. Damn, now what am I supposed to do?
I was just about to drop the mattress back into its place when a small piece of paper caught my eye. I tried to support the heavy mattress with one hand and reach for the paper with the other, but just as I grabbed hold of the paper, the mattress's weight was too much and I was crushed like a sandwich under 2 massive mattresses. *grumble* gah…how much do these things weigh!? I tried to crawl out from under them, with some difficulty a finally got free. Opening my hand I looked at the small paper and started to read.
Note to self: moved all money to bedroom closet.
Well then…*rolls eyes* I walked over to the closet doors and threw them open, before I knew it I was being buried under piles and piles of money. I slowly sat up and looked around, the entire room was now covered in money and you couldn't even see the floor! Now THAT'S what I call LOTS OF MONEY!!! *grins* we have officially hit the jackpot.
The problem is how am I going to carry uhh…some of this? I stood up and looked around the room to see what I could use. I glanced over at the bed and eyed the pillow cases, they'll work. I stripped two pillows and started to fill the pillow cases with money as fast as I could. After a few minutes I was done, I swung the now bloated bags over my shoulder and exited the room and head to meet my friends so we could finally leave.
~~
All three girls met up again and at around the same time, Mich and Lex looked over at Kat who was frantically trying to say something.
"Just spit it out!" Mich said slightly irritated.
"THE GUYS ARE AWAKE!!!!" Kat exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" Both Lex and Mich yelled.
"We need to get out of here!! Kat, here take one" Lex handed Kat one of the two pillow cases to lighten her load then they all started running towards and down the stairs. When they reached the front door, Mich was just about to open it when it swung open and Trowa and Wufei stepped through.
//Ohh SHIT// was the only thought that ran through the three friends' heads as the two pilots locked eyes with them.
TBC…..
