I'm sorry if you didn't get the couple that you wanted, I hope you will continue to read. I have started writing a Rei/Trowa story it's called 'Fairy tales' it will be short but hopefully good. I'll post it ASAP.
There is the addition of a new character coming soon *squeals with joy*, I'm in love with my "mystery" character!
Oh yeah one more thing, I think you'll find that there is a word in there that's not actually a word I made it up.
The Moon and The Stars
Heero was tempted to roll his eyes but instead he looked at the girls with a blank expression. Did Rei and her friends honestly believe that they could survive in a dimension that they had been in for all of two minutes? Heero had to grudgingly agree with his sexist friend, some women really were pig headed. Quatre had just offered these girls a place to stay until they could get back to where they came from but pride wouldn't let them accept, it was pathetic.
"Where would you go?" the words left his mouth before he had time to stop himself. Rei turned sharply, her raven hair swaying violently behind her.
" We'll find our way. We're big girls now," Rei said to Heero in an almost taunting voice.
This time Heero did roll his eyes but kept his mouth shut. Rei's features were set into a fierce scowl intending to intimidate him, the unintimidable. Yet her stance was broken by the look in her eyes. Her eyes held something and it wasn't anger; her eyes held an immense sadness and a glint of betrayal. As he looked into her flowing violet orbs he knew it wasn't just pride preventing her from accepting Quatre's offer, it ran much deeper than that.
Rei scowled once more and headed out the door, her friends reluctantly in tow. Sighing, Heero shook his head then gazed out of the window, seeing that nightfall was almost upon them, he watched the last of the sun fade over the horizon. The sky turned from a deep purple colour into the darkness that was night. Less than a minute later a shriek was heard from outside. In the blink of an eye all five pilots were up and out the door, ready for a fight.
Heero's eyes searched frantically through the dark, obscenely large driveway for the five girls, his heart pounded unbearably in his chest until he saw silhouettes of female figures. He stopped suddenly when he realised they were not under attack but instead staring at the sky. He craned his neck to look at the now vivid black sky with the moon shinning brightly, the diamond stars twinkling beautifully against the darkness of the night and the five colonies hanging numbly in the air.
"What are those?" squeaked a usually confident Rei.
"The moon, stars and colonies," replied Duo not really seeing the wonder in their eyes he continued, "what happened we heard someone scream?"
"Colonies? What the hell are colonies?" Exclaimed Makoto her eyes wide.
"Not so powerful now," Wufei muttered a self satisfied smirk stewed on his face seeing the onna that had threatened his well being earlier a little overwhelmed.
Mako turned her head away from the beastly machines in the sky to glare at Wufei. She had never wanted to hurt someone as much as she did in the short time she had known the myopic idiot that was Wufei. Wufei returned Makoto's glower with just as much annoyance. The glaring match continued between the two and onyx and hunter green clashed.
"I sense a love connection," squealed Minako, clapping her hands with joy. They may be stuck in a parallel dimension but at least she got to interfere in someone's love life.
"So do I," Usagi chirped in but then focused on the matter at hand, "yeah what are the freaky 'colony' things you were talking about?"
"The colonies are the product of an over-populated earth, advanced technology allows humans to live on the surface," these words floated eerily in the air. Nine eyes turned to see Trowa casually leaning against a tree, hands placed in his pockets, looking towards the sky. His expression was almost wistful but it being Trowa you couldn't really tell.
Duo broke the silence, "Yeah, I would love to stay out here and chat in the freezing cold, but could we please go inside, I'm freezing my ass off!"
"We were just leaving," Rei said turning towards the mansions gates.
Hearing this Duo moved into his puppy dog routine. Making his eyes large and glassy looking he walked in front of the girls (effectively blocking their path) a cute pout on his lips. "Don't go, stay"
Minako, Usagi and Makoto stifled giggles at the sight in front of them. Ami smiled slightly and Rei rolled her eyes at Duo's antics. Duo seeing that the only thing he was succeeding in was tickling their sense of humour threw himself at the girls legs and grabbed on to the first thing he could which ended up being Ami's legs.
"Don't go please. You have no idea what it's like all I ever see is Quatre, Trowa, Heero and Wufei!" never missing a beat he turned towards the pilots, "no offence," turning back to the girls he continued, " Jesus I see Wufei's face every single morning and trust me Wu-man is not a morning person!"
"Injustice!" Wufei said his hand grasping the hilt of his precious katana.
Trowa looked at the turmoil before him, Duo sprawled inelegantly on the ground clutching on to Ami's legs while she in vain tried to walk, Wufei seething in anger gripping his katana so hard that his knuckles had tuned ghostly white and the girls laughing so hard that tears were rolling down their cheeks.
Trowa stepped away from the comfort of the trees shadow into the moonlight, "Girls I think that Quatre-Chan is right in offering you a place to stay. It makes sense as you guys have no money or knowledge of this dimension. You didn't even know what a colony was and I'm pretty sure that's not the only surprise you'll be running into here. At least stay the week until you can finally get on your feet," Trowa finished his striking emerald eyes twinkling with hope.
"We accept," Usagi declared a little too loudly complementing her posture which suggested the pride she was feeling at being able to make a good decision.
Rei's eyes snapped up at Usagi's verdict, there was a reason she didn't want to stay here, she was getting very strange vibes off of the guys especially Heero, it was just something about his cold exterior that gave her the creeps. Grabbing her princesses arm she dragged her off to a secluded spot in the trees surrounding the mansions dirveway away from inquisitive eyes.
"Usa, we can't stay here, there something that's just off, please reconsider," Rei pleaded.
Usagi looked pensive for a while before turning to Rei and chirping, "Rei if you think something is so off and these guys could possibly be dangerous don't you think that it would be best if we stayed here and find out what it is that your sensing?"
Rei's eyebrows creased in thought, she hated to admit it but her meatball haired friend was right, sighing she held her hands up in defeat. Usagi smiled, deep dimples appearing on her cheeks.
