Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing, if I did, there series would be a lot longer!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mia and Duo arrived home last. Rebi and Trowa were sitting on the roof, looking at cloud shapes.
"Look! It's a bunny!" Rebi exclaimed, pointing to a rabbit-shaped cloud.
"They all look like clouds to me," Trowa said.
"You have to use your imagination Trowa!" Rebi yelled. Trowa gave Rebi an odd look.
Heero was working on something on Mia's laptop, Kio was in her room listening to music, which wasn't quite as loud as before, Wufei was outside medetating, while Quatre and Li were going around cleaning house.
MIa and Duo came in the front door. Mia sighed. "Boy, I'm glad that's over wi-"
She was cut off by Li and Quatre. "Oh my gosh! YOu two are so filthy!" Li screeched.
"Duh Li. We just got back from work," Mia said angrily.
Quatre dusted the top of Duo's head with a feather duster. "Duo! You're so dusty!"
"Yo, Q-man. Enough cleaning stuff. You're scaring me," Duo said, trying to back away from Quatre and only finding a wall.
"Ditto," Mia said. She turned to Duo. "Wanna grab a bite to eat and leave these two to their 'cleaning', or whatever they call it."
"I'm in," Duo said and he and Mia left quickly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Treize sir!" A guard said attentivly. "You called Sir?"
"Yes. I want you to keep an eye on those girls we visited. I don't trust them just yet," Treize announced.
"Sir yes sir!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rebi stared at the clouds. "Wow, so pretty... It reminds me of when I was little..."
"I can't remember any of my past," said Trowa sadly.
"That must be so sad!" Rebi said. "Don't you have anything that can make you smile no matter what?"
Trowa was silent for a moment. "I'm not sure, let me find out." Without any warning what-so-ever, Trowa leaned over Rebi and kissed her lightly on the lips. Rebi lay there blushing and feeling like she was going to melt.
'Oh my god...' Rebi though to herself. 'I feel like I'm gonna melt right on this spot...'
A slight smile graced Trowa's lips. "I think I found it," he said, smiling at Rebi and jumping off the roof, leaving her there to think.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So could you help me with my room?" Quatre asked Li, running a dust cloth over the mantlepiece.
"Oh sure!" Li said. "Let's get started on it now!" Li and Quatre walked down the hallway and opened the door to Quatre's room. "Looks pretty clean to me," Li said, staring at the well dusted furniture and washed windows. "It wasn't this clean before, that's for sure."
"Well I needed some help on decorating it..." Quatre mumbled. "Usually the maids do it at home..."
Li sighed. "Lucky, here we have to do it ourselves." Li looked around the room as if examining it. "Well, it just needs a few flowers or something here and there... So let's go get some from the garden!"
"Shall we be going then?" Quatre said, heading for the door.
"Hang on!" Li said. "We gotta ask Rebi if we can pick 'em first. Most of the garden is hers."
"Where is Miss. Rebi? I haven't seen her in a while," quatre said.
"She's probably on the roof, she goes up there a lot," Li said, leading the way out the door. "Follow me."
Li and Quatre found Rebi lying on the roof in the exact same spot she'd been in since Trowa left.
"Um... Rebi? You alive in there?" Li questioned, waving her hand in front of Rebi's face. Rebii didn't answer, she just stared at the clouds. "Yo? Rebi? Wakey wakey? Anyone at home in there?" Li tried. Then she got an idea from seeing Rebi's hair half-covering her face. "Hey, trowa! Wake up!"
Rebi blinked, "Hm?"
Quatre looked highly confused as Li continued. "Can we get some flowers from your garden?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah sure...Whatever," Rebi said, snapping out of her 'trance'.
"Thanks!" Li said as she and Quatre climbed down from the roof.
"Why did you call Miss. Rebi, Trowa?" Quatre asked, as Li and himself walked towards the garden.
"Well, before we met you guys, we still knew who you were," Li said.
"How?" Quatre asked, slightly shocked.
"You guys have your own TV show!" Li exclaimed. "It's really cool!"
"That is neat," Quatre said. "But that still doesn't explain why you called Miss. Rebi, trowa."
"Oh, well," Li began, "We all tend to act like different gundam pilots in a way."
"Really?!" Quatre asked, utmostly shocked.
"Yep. Kio acts like Heero, Mia acts like Duo, Rebi acts like Trowa, Em acts like Wufei, and I act like you..." Li explained.
"I see..." Quatre said as they neared the garden.
As the garden (which was HUGE by the way) came into view, Quatre and Li saw that two people were already in it.
Wufei was sitting cross-legged, seemed to be medetating, in a group of beautiful white china lillies.
Trowa, the other occupant of the garden, was looking at different flowers and smalling them. he bent over, smelt a purple forget-me-not, promptly picked it and blurted out, "I gotta go to the roof!"
"What?" Quatre asked, obviously confused by Trowa's sudden outburst.
"...Nothing," mumbled Trowa as he took his forget-me-not and walked off towards the house.
"Okay..." Said Quatre. "Is it just me, or does trowa seem a bit off?"
"Yeah, I suppose so... But I don't think it's anything to worry about," Li said gleefully.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"And I'll have... this and this!" Duo said to the waiter.
"Will that be all for you this evening?"
"Yes, thanks," Mia said, dismissing the waiter. She sighed, "Great. Now we gotta wait for our food."
Duo pondered for a moment. "Well, what do you usually do with your friends when you're bored?"
"Hm...." Mia thought. "I suppose we just talk."
Duo sweatdropped. "And that's ALL?"
"Yeah," Mia looked confused. "What else would you do?"
"Um... I'm not sure actually! I've never really been bored before all that often," Duo said.
A lightbulb went on in Mia's head. "Er, Duo? About earlier today at work... Sorry 'bout that..." Mia apologized, turning slightly pink.
"Hey! Don't worry about it!" replied Duo.
"But we almost got fired!" Mia yelled.
"It's okay! Don't worry so much. It's not your fault," Duo said. "besides..." Duo whispered in a low voice, "it wasn't too bad anyhow..."
"What do you mean?" Mia asked, confused.
Duo turned crimson. "Oh! Look there! There's the waiter with our food! Oh waiter!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trowa climbed onto the roof to find Rebi still sitting there, hugging her knees and staring straight foreward. He approached cautiously and cleard his throat. "Uh.... Rebi?"
Rebi looked at Trowa and blushed, "...Yeah?"
"I'm sorry if I was a bit too straight foreward earlier and I understand that it probably shocked you quite a bit so I came up here to bring you this flower and to apologize," Trowa said, offering the flower to Rebi.
Rebi took the flower and sniffed it. "Wow Trowa. I didn't think you had so many words in your vocab."
Trowa just stared at Rebi for a minute and then began laughing. Soon, Rebi had joined him and they were both having a laughing fit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kio walked into Heero's room, only to find him typing away on Mia's laptop.
"Yo Heero? Whatcha workin' on?" She asked, looking over Heero's shoulder. Heero just ignored her and continued typing. "Heero! Wake up in there!" Kio yelled. Still, no reply. "Well!" Kio shouted. "If you're going to be a jerk then I'll have to make you wake up one way or another!" And with that said, Kio turned Heero's face with her hands to face hers and kissed him.
Heero sat there, eyes wide, never expecting THAT, and Kio just smirked. "Maybe next time you won't ignore me!" She declared before leaving the room and the highly shocked person in it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Quatre got up early. "Oh no! I'm going to be late!" he exclaimed while running around the house. That's when he noticed that no one else was awake. "Where is everyone?" he pondered to himself and he headed down to Li's room to get some answers.
Quatre knocked lightly on her door. When he didn't recieve an answer, he opened the door slighlty and said, "Um... Li?" Into the dark room. A muffled 'uhn?' was heard from somewhere in the room. Quatre opened the door a little wider. "I was just wondering why no one is awake yet."
Li moved the blankets off her head. "Because today we're throwing a surprise party for Em so we alll took the day off. Anything else?"
"Uh, no. Sorry to have bothered you," Quatre said, as he left Li's room and closed the door quietly behind him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours later, the last few people were beginning to wake up.
Duo came into the kitchen yawning. "Mornin' guys. Hey, isn't Mia up yet?" he questioned, looking around the kitchen and counting heads.
"Oh, don't worry about it," Rebi said. "She's probably just still sleeping. but someone probably should wake her up soon..."
"I'll go get her up!" Duo said happily.
"Watch out for flying pillows," Kio added as Duo was going down the hallway.
"Hein?" Duo said, puzzled. He shrugged it off and opened Mia's door. "Wake up Mi-omph!" Duo said as he was interrupted by a pillow in the face. Duo removed it and walked over to Mia's bed. "Come on Mia," Duo whispered in her ear. "It's morning time. Time to get up," he added before giving her a light peck on the cheek.
Mia blushed a violent shade of red as she sat upright in bed, nearly knocking Duo off it. "'Kay, I'm awake. Now if you'lll excuse me, I have to get changed," she said before ushering Duo out the door and closing it in his face.
Duo looked ready to protest but then sighed and put his hands above his head. "Girls. Once you think you have them figured out, they come back and get you with something new..."
