VJ: Well this chapter's for BC and I'm so glad everyone likes this story! Thanks!
The next day was Saturday and Veronica was lying on her bed listening to music and staring at the ceiling. Her and Trowa had, amazingly, got all their homework done the day before and now she was bored to tears.
Music: I hear a voice say, "don't be so blind"It's telling me all these things
That you would probably hide
Am I…your one and only desire?
Am I the reason you breathe?
Or am I the reason you cry? (1)
She sighed. Just then there was a knock on her door. "Come in."
Her mother opened the door. "Trowa's on the phone," she said over the music.
Veronica's face brightened. She jumped up, turned off her music and ran down the stairs. She saw the cordless phone sitting in the counter and picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hi." Came Trowa's voice over the receiver.
"What's up?" asked Veronica trying to stay clam.
"Not much." He paused. "I was wondering if you wanted to come over."
Veronica smiled. "I'd love to. Let me go ask my mom."
"'Kay"
She set the phone down and went out to the backyard. Her mom was working in the garden. She walked up to her. "Mom can I go over to Trowa's house?" she asked.
Her mother looked up. "Are his parents home?"
"He doesn't have any parents. He's an orphan."
Her mom paused. "I don't know…"
"Ple…ase?" she said making puppy dog eyes.
Her mother studied her for a moment. "Alright."
"Yes!" cried Veronica jumping for joy.
"On one condition."
Veronica stopped. "What?"
"I'll be calling to check and I will send your sister down to check on you."
"Alright," said Veronica a little grudgingly. She went back into the house. She picked up the phone. "I'll be over in a minute."
"Sounds good," said Trowa. Then they both hung up.
"Later!" she yelled as she grabbed her jean jacket out of the closet. She heard a muffled goodbye then went out the front door.
Trowa hung up the phone. He was glad she was able to come over. He had been afraid that her mom would say no since it would be just the two of them alone. But apparently she had said yes. Or Veronica was sneaking out. But that didn't sound like her.
But what do I know? He thought. I've only known her for a few days. He walked into the living and turned on some music.
Music: Wish I was too dead to cryMy self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go till it bleeds (2)
A few minutes later the doorbell rang. Trowa opened the door to see Veronica standing there smiling. Trowa stepped aside and she went in. she looked around.
"Nice house," said Veronica as they walked into the living room.
"It's one of the Preventors' houses," said Trowa.
"Cool. Do I get the grand tour?"
"Sure."
15 minutes later they were back in the living room.
"It's a nice house," said Veronica. "But I noticed that there are only five bedrooms. I thought you said that there'll be eight more people living here?"
"There will be," said Trowa. "We'll probably bunk."
"That explains the bunk beds," said Veronica smiling.
Music: (Girl: What are you thinking about?)
(What are you thinking about?)
(Boy: The same thing you are)
Rage in the cage
And piss upon the stage (3)
"You like Rob Zombie?" asked Veronica.
Trowa shrugged. "I listen to it on the radio." He watched as she danced to the music.
Music (continued): Defunct the strings
Of cemetery things
With one flat foot
On the devils wing
Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living dead girl
Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living dead girl (3)
She danced sort of Arabic style to the chorus. She didn't seem to mind that he was watching. But there was a slight blush on her cheeks. I don't know why she hides her figure with baggy tee shirts and jeans. Thought Trowa. She has a great figure. She wasn't hiding it today. She was wearing semi tight jeans and a tight blue tank top. Trowa didn't want to stare, but she was the first girl he'd had feelings for. She plopped down next to him on the couch.
"That was fun," she said smiling.
"Uh…yeah," said Trowa feeling suddenly nervous. "You wanna go sit on the porch?"
"Sure."
So they went out front and sat on the porch stairs. They talk for two hours and Trowa told her about the war and Veronica told him about her life. Her mom called once and sent her thirteen year old sister, Melanie, down to check on them. It was an hour after Melanie had left that they heard car horns and yelling down the street. Two big vans pulled into the driveway. A boy with a yard long braid and blue eyes jumped out of the first van. He was wearing black pants and a black shirt with a minister's collar.
"Yo Trowa! What's up!" called the boy.
Trowa and Veronica stood up. "Duo, you guys are early," said Trowa.
"Well we got out earlier than we thought we could," said Duo as he pulled a suitcase out of the van. "Come here and give us a hand."
Trowa walked over to the back of the van.
"Who's your friend?" asked a girl with purple black hair and blue eyes. She was wearing jean shorts and a blue tee shirt.
Veronica walked forward and the others came over. "This is Veronica," said Trowa.
"My name's Duo," said the boy with the braid. He smiled.
"I'm Hilde," said the purple haired girl.
"Heero," said a boy with messy brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing jeans and a green tank top.
"My name's Relena," said a girl with blue eyes and long brown hair. She was wearing a skirt and tee shirt.
"My name's Quatre," said a boy with light blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He was wearing kaki pants and a red shirt.
"I'm Dorothy," said a girl with waist long light blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a long skirt and a button up shirt.
"Wufei," said a boy with slicked back black hair in a small ponytail and black eyes. He was wearing white pants and a teal tank top.
"And my name's Catherine," said a girl with short curly brown hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a dark pink skirt and a dark blue spaghetti strap shirt.
"She's my sister," said Trowa.
"It's nice to meet you all," said Veronica smiling. This is interesting. She thought.
Everyone nodded and smiled. It was chaos trying to unpack. Duo tripped a few times and one time fell on Wufei. Wufei started cursing and yelling, Heero made death threats, Quatre tried to be the peacemaker, and the girls chattered. But in the end everything was unpacked safely.
My B.S.
1. Saliva "Always" I love this song, not sure if it fits though.
2. Stone Sour "Bother"
3. Rob Zombie "Living Dead Girl" I really, REALLY like this song. ^_^
VJ: Well that's the end of that. What will they think of Veronica? If you review I just might put the next chapter up. Later!
