VJ: Wow you guys reviewed fast!  Well this chapter's for Skydancer1. I hope everyone enjoys this.

Everything was safely unpacked and put away and now everyone was gathered in the living room.

"You guys are early," said Trowa. Veronica was seated next to him on the couch.

"Well, we didn't wait for Sally, if you haven't noticed," said Duo. "She had a bunch of paper work to finish, so she told us to go without her. She'll be here tonight."

Trowa nodded.

"What's the school like?" asked Quatre.

Trowa shrugged. "Normal." He looked over at Veronica.

Suddenly everyone's eyes were on her. She felt extremely nervous. "I guess it's normal. It's the first one I've been to."

"What do you mean?" asked Catherine.

"Well I was home schooled all my life, until now."

"Wow cool! What was it like?" asked Duo.

"Umm…it was nice. Only a few hours of study with my mom and a couple for homework."

"Wow I bet that was nice," said Hilde.

Duo winked at Trowa. "A nice, cute, well educated girl for your girlfriend. And in only 3 days, I'm impressed."

Veronica turned beet red.

"She's not my girlfriend," said Trowa blushing slightly.

"So she's just a "friend"?" asked Dorothy.

"Yes," said Trowa.

"Come on you guys," said Relena, "stop teasing Trowa and lets talk about something else." So they did.

A few hours later the phone in the kitchen rang. Duo picked it up.

"Hello?" he said into the receiver.

"Uh is Veronica there?" said the woman on the other end.

"Just a sec," said Duo. He turned to the living room. "Veronica, phone for you."

She waked into the kitchen and took the phone from Duo. "Hello?"

"Veronica, it's mom."

"Hi mom what's up?"

"Just checking up on you. It sounds like there are more people over there."

"Yeah Trowa's friends got here," explained Veronica.

"Oh okay, Mike isn't over there is he?"

"No why?"

"He came over looking for you and I told him you were at Trowa's. He didn't want to bother you so he said he'd come back later and now his parents can't find him. They've called everyone they could think of. They think he's run away."

"What?!" cried Veronica. "That's ridiculous! Mike wouldn't do that!" But maybe he would, thought Veronica. Mike was known for disappearing. But why now? He had seemed fine.

"I was calling to see if you knew any other places he might be."

Veronica sat there thinking for a moment. "He could be roaming the city."

"They're out looking for him now."

"Wait why do they think he's run away?"

"Well he cam over here about 10 minutes after you had left and then he was supposed to check in with his mother 2 hours ago and hasn't."

"Alright I have an idea I'll call you back later."

"Wait what…."

"Bye mom!" she quickly hung up the phone.

"What was that about?" asked Trowa. Everyone was waiting for a response.

"You know that boy at school? Mike?"

"Yes," said Trowa slowly.

"Well they think he ran away. Which is ridiculous of course. But now I have to find him." She grabbed here jacket and headed for the door.

"I'll come with you," said Trowa.

"You don't have to," said Veronica looking at him.

"Well all help," said Duo. Everyone nodded.

"Thanks you guys," said Veronica.

"So what's the plan?" asked Hilde.

"Okay we need to search the town, I think I know where he'll be, but we'll split up anyway. And I'll need someone to stay here. In case he comes back to his house."

"We could take the vans," said Relena.

"Right," said Veronica. "We'll split into 2 teams one team will cruise the town the other will head to 15th street. Okay who wants to stay here?"

"I'll stay, " said Wufei.

"And I'll stay," said Quatre.

"Okay good. Lets get moving," said Veronica

So Trowa, Veronica, Heero, and Relena headed for 15th street and Duo, Dorothy, Catherine, and Hilde cruised the town.

VJ: Will they find Mike? What kind of trouble is he in anyway? Will Veronica and Trowa ever kiss?! All of these questions will be answered in the next chapter! But there's a catch! You have to review!! (I know it's a short chapter, give me a break. My damn musing are being bums.)
