Usagi growled as she checked her watch for the tenth time, making the
people around her shy away with fear.
(Where is that guy?! He was suppose to be here 30 minutes ago! And I was already 10 minutes late to begin with!) Usagi thought, clearly frustrated with Duo's lack of punctuality. Duo had phoned her and asked if she wanted to go for a cup of coffee earlier this evening and Usagi had no clue how he got her number, but agreed anyways. Although now she she doesn't think that it was a good idea since she is obviously being stood up. Grumbling under her breath, Usagi decided that she would wait for another 5 minute and if he doesn't show up by than, he'll hear a earful from her tomorrow at their square dancing lesson. Tick tock, tick tock, another sip from her cappuccino, tick tock, finally the door to the cozy cafe burst open and a blur rushed in. Before Usagi could even register who came into the cafe, she could hear Duo's pleading voice, telling her what made him late.
"I am SO sorry Usagi, I seriously didn't mean to be this late! I was driving down to meet you when I saw an old lady walking home with heavy bags of grocery and I decided to be nice and give her a ride. Then my car had a just stopped working, and a dog chased me down the street, because I went to his house to ask for the phone. Then I got Heero to come and give me a ride......" Duo rambled on and on, while Usagi look at him with amazement. Never had she found anyone that could talk so fast and so much, other than Minako and herself of course.
"Duo....DUO!" Usagi shouted to stop Duo's consistent and unbelievable excuses.
"Huh? What?" Duo asked, finally stopping his rambling.
"Duo, you do know that you made me wait for you for half an hour right?" Usagi asked in a dangerously scary tone. "Do you also know that while I was waiting for you, I was hit on by 5 guys, 3 of them 20 years older than me and I've been checked out by whole bunch of old guys?"
Duo gulped, he isn't sure how he's going to get out of this one. Although he had only known Usagi for a week, he could tell that a mad Usagi isn't someone to mess with. Wufei is the perfect example.
"I'm sorry?" Duo said, meekly.
Usagi glared harder at him.
"I'm sorry that I fell asleep and made you wait for half an hour," Duo tried again, giving Usagi his best puppy face. "But Heero did give me a rid here, actually he is still outside. I told him to be ready to drive me to safety if I come running out, and have you chasing me with a knife."
(Shit, I DID NOT mean to say that!) Duo thought, (Oh man, now I'm in for it.)
Surprisingly, Usagi didn't get mad, instead her glare disappeared, but her red lips formed a cruel smile.
"You know Duo, I think I have the perfect punishment for you." Usagi said. "You AND Heero is going to take me to the amusement park, and YOU have to pay for my way in."
Duo let out the breath he had been holding. A whole day with a gorgeous babe in an amusement park, what kind of punishment is that?
(Uh....Wait a second, did she say "AND Heero?" Now that would be a problem.)
"Uh....Usagi how about that I'll pay for everything you want tonight if we exclude Heero from our plans?" Duo tried.
"Nope, very tempting, but Heero is coming." Usagi stated stubbornly.
Duo sighed, he had no clue why he'd even bother with doing what Usagi wants him too. If it was any other girl, Duo would just say "no" and leave.
"Alright, I'll see what I can do," Duo said, sounding defeated. Walking out the door, Duo went over to Heero, who was surprisingly still there.
"Hey Heero." Duo said, while opening the car door.
Heero merely glanced at him, his eyes asking the question, "What?"
"How about I make you a deal? If you do one thing for me, I'll give you back the tape and all the copies that I made." Duo proposed, knowing that he was giving up a lot of the control he had over his friend.
"What do you want?" Heero inquired.
"Just you spending one day with Usagi and me at the amusement park," Duo answered.
Heero thought it over, (It's not that bad, and I would get the tape back...) "Fine, but only one day and you can't tell anyone AND you HAVE to give me ALL of your copies."
"Deal!" Duo said cheerfully. "Alright, I'll be right back." Duo went back to the cafe to get Usagi.
"Hey Usagi, come on lets go!" Duo said, pulling Usagi up from the chair by her arm while putting a 5 dollars bill on the table.
************************
Usagi screamed as she felt the cold water hit her body, and felt a bit of sadness as the ride came to an end. Usagi smiled brightly as she got off the cart of "Niagara Falls," with her two companions. Usagi stared at the two, noticing how their clothing clings to their body, showing off their defined muscles. Usagi looked at Heero and noticed his dark brown hair damp and framing his face. His beautiful blue eyes glaring to mask his happiness and his dark green muscles shirt showing off his lean muscles. (Wow, he's hot.) Usagi's gaze left Heero's body and moved over to Duo and again was amazed at the developed muscles that the boys obtained. Usagi looked at his face and for the first time realized how cute Duo actually was, especially when his hair's wet. Usagi glared hard at Duo when she realized that Duo was not looking at HER, but at a specific body part.
"Heads up!" Usagi shouted, a little annoyed.
"Huh? Oh sorry!" Duo apologized, but Usagi caught his eye sight lingering at her boobs again.
Usagi was about to yell at Duo, but Heero pulled off his wet muscle shirt and handed it over to her. Usagi stared at him perplexed, but she slowly remember what she was wearing today. A simple white blouse. Blushing deeply, and becoming aware of the males attention toward her, she quickly took the shirt and pulled it over her pretty much see through blouse.
"Aw, Heero why did you have to give her that? You ruin all the fun," Duo whined, but gulped as he saw the death glare that Usagi was giving him. Hell, it even matches Heero's.
"Duo, you're such a pervert. Just like your blonde friend," Usagi accused.
"Quatre? He's not a pervert," Duo said. Glare. "Ok fine, he might've accidentally touched you, but it really was just an accident. There was water on the floor."
Usagi looked at Duo, trying to determine if he was lying or not.
"It doesn't really matter I guess, as long as he doesn't try do anything to me again. Come on, lets go to the roller coaster!" Usagi yelled, as she dragged the guys through the crowd.
After waiting in line for 10 minutes, the trio got onto the ride. Usagi filed onto the ride behind Heero and Duo followed behind her.
"Heero, you don't talk too much do you?" Usagi asked, when she realized that Heero had not spoken once during the whole time they've been together.
"Hn," Heero replied.
"Sometimes I'm like that too, when I just don't want to talk. Grunting is a pretty good way to get people to leave you alone, but I could never be alone for long. I guess I'm a people person. I hate the loniness," Usagi said. She had no idea why she just told him of her worse fear, but Heero seem like the person that would understand.
"I love this ride!" Usagi said, enthusiastically to Duo.
Duo smiled brightly at her and when the ride began, he could see Usagi clenching the bar tightly.
Heero looked at the blonde girl beside him and for some odd reason feel himself beginning to enjoy her company. In a way, she is almost like all 5 of the pilots' personality combined. Her consistent chattering, short temperament and her understanding and caring. He could even see himself in her, his own independence and isolation is also reflected in her eyes. Even though Heero would call the other pilots his friends, he would never let them get too close to him. He could tell that Usagi protect herself like that also.
"So guys, where to now?" Usagi asked cheerfully.
"Want to go to the haunted house?" Duo suggested.
"Sure!" Usagi agreed immediately.
"No" Heero said.
Duo and Usagi looked at him questioningly.
"Why not?" Duo asked?
"Hn." Heero grunted, he would never tell anyone of his fear of haunted houses. As stupid as it may seem, the perfect soldier that wasn't afraid of death is scared of ghosts and vampires jumping out at him.
"Aww, please Heero! Pretty please with a cherry on top?" Usagi begged and son Duo joined in the begging.
"Please!"
"No"
"Come on, it's fun!"
"No, just go inside without me," Heero said, his voice a little louder than usual.
Duo and Usagi looked at each other, they both wanted to go, but they don't want to Heero either.
"Alright, but you HAVE to be here when we come out!" Usagi ordered. "Let's go!"
"Usagi, slow down!" Duo yelled, when Usagi grabbed his hand and was dragging him through the crowd.
"No because if we get there sooner, Heero won't have to wait as long for us." Usagi replied, dodging a herd of children.
Duo winced, (Heero again?) "Usagi, do you like Heero or something?" Duo said, trying to sound casual.
Usagi gave Duo a weird look, but she didn't reply till they were in line.
"Why do you ask that?" Usagi inquired.
"No reason really,: just a weird feeling I have," Duo said.
"I like him as a friend," Usagi answered and was wondering why Duo had such a big grin on his face all of a sudden.
"That's cool," Duo said. "Come on, lets go in!"
Usagi complied and handed her pass to the person and went through the door. Usagi walked closer to Duo as she heard the creepy music and the door slam shut. Inside the haunted house, everything was dark and only a pair of dim red lights led the way through the dark hallway. Usagi jumped a little when she heard a shrill scream right beside her ear, and noticed the speaker was right there. They walked on, barely able to make out the path in the dim lighting.
"Ah!" Usagi screamed when she felt a pair of hands grabbing at her and blocking her path. Usagi looked at her attacker and she screamed again when she saw a girl with blood smeared over her white dress and her face twisted in a gruesome manner.
"DUO!" Usagi cried, after her initial shock, and noticed her friend on the floor laughing at her. "It isn't funny!"
"I'm sorry Usagi, but the look on your face was priceless!" Duo said getting up from the floor and offering Usagi an apologetic smile. "Don't worry, I'll protect you," Duo said, as he wrapped his arm around Usagi's slim waist, pulling her closer to him.
Usagi smiled, her anger disappearing. Together they walked through the haunted house, with Usagi screaming every time a something take her by surprise. Duo held onto Usagi, occasionally screaming with her, even though he had already seen the hiding spots of the \ actors and actresses.
"Man, I don't think I've heard anyone scream so loud before," Duo commented, when the two of them were outside again, with Duo's arm still around Usagi's slim party. "I think you broke my ear drum."
Usagi looked at Duo sheepishly, feeling slightly guilty for screaming right into his ears each time she got scared.
"Sorry Duo, I didn't mean to do that." Usagi apologized, just before they reached Heero and Usagi giving Duo a friendly peck on the cheek and untangling herself from Duo's muscular arms.
"Hey Heero!" Usagi shouted.
Heero just nodded at the two of them.
"Heero, could you do me this little favour? Pretty please!" Usagi begged.
"What do you want?" Heero asked suspiciously.
"Well you see, there is this Tweedy stuff animal that I really want and I could never win at the game, and I've heard from Duo that you have great aim, so." Usagi said.
"What game?" Heero and Duo both asked.
"Ring toss," Usagi said happily.
"Fine." Heero said.
"You know Usagi, I have just as good aim as Heero, why didn't you ask me?" Duo whined.
Usagi laughed, "Because I saw you trying to throw a ball at Wufei and it hit Trowa instead the other day."
"Oh."
(Where is that guy?! He was suppose to be here 30 minutes ago! And I was already 10 minutes late to begin with!) Usagi thought, clearly frustrated with Duo's lack of punctuality. Duo had phoned her and asked if she wanted to go for a cup of coffee earlier this evening and Usagi had no clue how he got her number, but agreed anyways.
