After Duo told his story, yet again, to his friends, no one moved.
Relena: So, there's another girl in the house? Where is she now?
Quatre: She's in the spare room asleep. We're waiting for her to wake up.
Relena: Oh.
Duo: I'll go check up on her.
He got up and left. Meanwhile the girl had woken up with a start.
Girl: Where am I?
She got up but fell back onto the bed. Her leg was sore and she couldn't walk properly. Luckily for her, there was a crutch standing by the door (well it is the spare room). She stood up being careful not to lean too much on her bad leg. She got to the door and picked it up. Just then she heard footsteps coming towards the door. She pinned herself against the wall. She was terrified and didn't know where she was. She waited quietly. Duo opened the door carefully to peek inside. When he saw that she was not in the bed he was confused. Suddenly the girl tried to attack him.
She attempted to hit Duo's ribs but he managed to block it.
Duo: Hey, whoa there lady! I'm here to help you.
Girl: Back off, leave me alone.
She swiped again, this time higher. Duo ducked.
Duo: Look! I'm the one who helped patch up your leg, so you should be a little grateful.
She looked. She then looked at the gun in Duo's trousers.
Girl: Nice gun.
Duo smirked.
Duo: Well, it is my favourite.
She smiled.
Girl: Who are you?
Duo: That's what I'd like to know about you. I'm Duo, and you are?
Girl: No, I don't tell people my name. Not to strangers.
Duo: Look lady, I'm here to help. We all are.
Girl: All?
Duo: Yeah. Me and my friends.
She sighed.
Girl: Great. Just great. That's all I need.
Duo: Look, like I said a thousand times before, I'm here to help. Plus, I saved you from the guy who was after you.
Girl: What did you do?
Duo: I shot him through the heart.
Girl: What!? Please tell me you shot him twice. Through both hearts.
Duo: Both hearts? What are you on about? That guy was dead, dead for ages when I took you.
Girl: Great, he's still after me. He has two hearts; he can fake death.
Duo: Do you want to tell me what's going on?
She sighed.
Girl: Okay, fine. But I want to make sure you're on my side.
Duo: Hey, if I was going to kill you I would have done it by now, and I would have had my gun held up at you.
Girl: Point taken.
She motioned him to sit down on a chair. She pulled another one over carefully limping as she did it and sat opposite to him.

Well was that great or not. I promise you'll find out the girls name in the next chapter. ^_^
