Chapter 3

*~~~* That Night *~~~*

The Gundam boys were standing around in the huge gym at the Peacecraft Academy. The party had just started and the only reason they were here was because Duo had conned them into coming. "Did you notice that Relena has changed a bit in the last few days? I mean ever since before school started she hasn't ran to Heero, yelling his name." Duo asked the guys, trying to lighten up the mood.

"You're right Duo. I wonder... Does it have anything to do with her new friend, Miss Hotaru?" Quatra replied with a question. Heero just glared at the mention of Relena's name and Wufei wanted to kill the American, the only reason he never was because Lady Une had made him leave his Katana at Quatra's.

As if on cue, Relena and Hotaru walked in. Relena was wearing a pair of dark pink Capri's and a light pink tank top with black sandals, looking very un-Queen Of The World like. Hotaru had on a pair of cut off jean shorts, combat boots that came to the knee, and a baby blue tank top. Duo's mouth dropped. He was about to walk over to them when Heero grabbed his shoulder. "Don't make them mad, please Duo." Quatra said. He really liked Hotaru but couldn't figure out what made her so mad at Duo. If he could, he was going to avoid a conflict. Duo looked at him and shrugged.

Hotaru and Relena spotted the guys. "They don't look to happy to be here." Hotaru commented.

"Duo must have conned them into coming. I know for a fact it wasn't Heero's, Trowa's or Wufei's idea... although Quatra could have helped Duo in getting them to come. Quatra is a sweetheart." Relena replied.

"I see." The girls walked over towards the food table, not bothering going near the boys, seeing how they didn't want to be there. No need to piss them off more, although Relena really would have liked to go talk to Heero.

As the night progressed, more and more people went out onto the dance floor. Hotaru was standing facing Relena, back on to the crowd on the dance floor, talking with her. Relena looked at Hotaru, horrified, when Hotaru pulled out a gun similar to Heero's. 'What Is Going On?!?!? I thought Lady Une said I could trust her!!!' ran through her mind but she forgot it when Hotaru said "Hit the deck in... 3... 2... 1..." Relena immediately fell to the floor and two shoots rang out. Hotaru slipped her gun away and bent down. "You ok?" she asked Relena.

When the shoots rang out, the Gundam boys jumped and turned to see Hotaru helping Relena up from the floor. They ran over to her, wondering if she was hit or not. "I'm fine." she said, "But where is the gun man?"

"I'd say in the balcony!" Duo said and him and Heero ran off towards the balcony. Leaning in towards Hotaru, Relena whispered "Did you get him?"

"I think so." The other boys looked towards the balcony and saw Heero pick up a body. Heero walked out of the gym from the doors to the small balcony a story above the gym. Duo ran down to the boys and announced "He's dead! One shot must have been him and the other one someone shooting him."

Quatra looked at Duo funny and pulled him aside. "What do you mean? Who else here would have a gun? You know we were forced to leave them home, since we're not here to protect Miss Relena, we're just here to go to school because Lady Une forced us to."

"I dunno. How am I supposed to know? Heero told me to come tell you guys he was dead... May be it was a student, committing suicide... God! I hope not!"

Hotaru smirked. She knew what had Quatra and Duo all upset, but she couldn't tell anyone why she was here, Lady Une had made her swear not to. So Quatra and Duo would have to go on speculating, because she wasn't about to break any promises.

When the shots had rung out, everyone had ran to the sides of the room, afraid for their lives. Seeing this, Relena walked up onto stage and announced "I have just been informed that the gun man has been killed and that there is nothing to worry about, we're all safe now. You can go back to having a good time."

The party never really went back to the way it was before the shooting and it broke up early. Heero never came back to the party and the G-Boys had gone off to find him and find out what had happened. Hotaru walked Relena to her dorm, making sure that there was no more threats for tonight.

As everyone walked to class, the next day, all they could talk about was the attempt on Miss Relena's life and how they would be so crazy as to do it in a public place. They were all relieved that he had been killed last night, although they couldn't figure out how he never shot anyone and how someone had such good reflexes that he was shot immediately after.

The G-Boys never said anything but they knew that the gun man hadn't shot off any bullets. They figured that someone must have saw him aiming for Relena and shot him before he had a chance, but whom? Neither one of them had a gun here, although they thought it might be a good idea to have one now. But Lady Une insisted that they didn't need one and that Relena was going to be fine without their protection.

Everyday was set up the same for Relena and Hotaru, first they had Japanese Literature, then computers, math, lunch, chemistry, physics and finally world economics. (A/N: I did this because its easier then having a schedule in a so-many-day cycle. I'm not really up to having different subjects in different orders each day and trying to explain it to you.) Heero, Trowa and Quatra were in the same classes as the girls. This schedule was the advanced placement schedule and only the really smart, crazy people took these classes. Some of the really smart people WERE really smart and stayed away from Jap. Lit and World Economics. By rights, Hotaru shouldn't be in the advanced placement but being Relena's bodyguard made her. Duo hated physics and chemistry so he took music and gym instead. Wufei took all the classes except world economics, because warriors didn't need to know about such things that made people weak. He took gym instead, this would help him keep his warrior abilities.

They were part way through first period when Lady Une's secretary knocked on the door. Mr Blagdon answered and she announced "Miss Relena and Miss Tomoe are wanted at the main office." The girls got up and followed her out the door.

By lunch time, the girls still hadn't returned to their classes and the G-Boys wondered what was up. At lunch time they went to the girls dorm area and found Relena and Hotaru moving their things out of their adjacent dorms. "What are you guys doing?" Duo asked, going to help them move their things.

"We're moving into a dorm room together." Hotaru said, curtly.

"May I ask why?" Quatra asked, making his way with the other boys to them.

"Because we want to move into together. We're tired of being treated better then everyone else and getting our own dorm with so much unused space. I'd like to have a roommate for once in my life, because it gets kinda boring after curfew and all your friends have to go to their rooms. We'd like to have some company." Relena explained, surprising the boys because they never knew that Relena had friends over and that she actually felt this way, she never spoke about those kind of things to them.

The boys skipped the last three periods and helped the girls move into a new dorm, which was surprising for them to do except Duo. The new dorm had two big bedrooms across from each other, two bathrooms set off from each bedroom, a living room and a fair-sized kitchen that was perfect for baking and cooking in. The bedrooms had a double bed in them, along with a computer desk, TV and DVD player, closet, dresser and mirror, and a lazy boy recliner. The bathrooms had a sunken bathtub in them, along with the other normal bathroom things. The living room was mainly open and furnished with a couch, love seat, arm chair, coffee table, four end tables, TV and DVD player, and a floor-to-ceiling bookcase, filled with interesting books. Hotaru got settled in for the second time in two days. After the boys left, Hotaru turned to Relena "I didn't know you could bull shit so good."

"Well, if no one is supposed to know, then no one is going to know." Relena replied.

Hotaru shrugged. "Right. Do we have food in the kitchen?"

"We Should... Why?"

Hotaru walked into the kitchen and looked in the cupboards. They were packed with food. "I'm going to cook." She told Relena. Relena just looked at her as if to say 'whatever...' and Hotaru went and got her cd player and her Sum 41 CDS. Turning on All Killer, No Filler, she got out boneless chicken breasts, Parmesan cheese, mayo, milk, potatoes and some spices. A little while later, her and Relena sat down at the kitchen table to eat Parmesan Chicken and Spicy Potatoes (A/N: Parmesan Chicken is just boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked in Parmesan cheese and mayo. Spicy Potatoes are potatoes cut into cubes, sprinkled in whatever spices you want and baked in aluminum foil until brown. This is for those of you that don't know...).

After they were finished, Relena asked "Where did you learn to cook? That was great!"

"A friend of mine, Makato, taught me. She is the best cook I know."

The girls spent the rest of the night doing homework, which Relena breezed through. Hotaru had trouble with her physics and world economics, so Relena tried to help her. They got no where and gave up on it after an hour. Relena suggested she ask one of the guys to help her with it, because she knew that she wasn't going to be able to help her at all and she wanted Hotaru to do good in her courses.
