California or Bust! - Chapter Seventeen: OZ, Getting Closer?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AN: Whoot! Second chapter in one day! Maybe I can finish before I have to go to my dads? Let's find out! On to the chapter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The gang woke up at about eight the next morning. They had all gone to sleep as soon as they got home, seeing that today, they were going to...
"The what?!" spluttered Wufei.
"No way in hell," growled Heero.
"This is a bit too much, even for me!" Duo protested.
"Too bad, we're already booked for ten," glared Kio.
"But Mia-babe..." Duo whined pathetically.
"We're going and that's that!" declared Mia.
"Besides," said Li, "it's not like you actually have to DO anything! It's a spa for heaven's sake! Not death row!"
"May as well be..." muttered Wufei.
Em punched Wufei in the arm, and with many arguments and protests, they were on their way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"All right guys! See you in three hours!" Mia waved, grinning as the girls left to their days' scheduled activities.
"Gym?" questioned Duo.
The rest of the guys nodded. "Gym!"
While the guys headed off to the gym, the girls were off to various spa treatments; herbal wraps, massages, ect. until one pm, when they all met up again in the lounge.
"Why were you girls so persistant on us bringing our swinsuits? We didn't even use them," stated Heero.
"Yeah!" added Duo, slightly peeved at having to remember that stupid duffle bag wherever he went.
"Well," began Mia, "we're going to the traditional style Japanese hot tub here. Our booking is at two, so we have time to change and go to the opposite sides."
"Opposite sides?" asked a very confused Duo.
"Yes you baka. TRADITIONAL, meaning you're only supposed to be wearing a towel, so males on one side and females on the other," Heero growled.
"But you don't have to here. We just are. So STAY ON YOUR SIDE!" Kio glared.
Duo grinned before Mia fwapped him on the head. "Don't try anything or you'll be kicked out, not to mention beaten to a bloody pulp by the rest of the girls and myself."
Duo gulped nervously as the girls once again left, leaving the guys to head off to their side of the huge hot tub.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rebi sighed deeply as she slipped into the neck-high water. "So relaxing..."
Four more sighs were heard as the other girls slip into the water. "Good for the muscles..." mumbled Li.
Em snorted. "Who cares! It's awesome even if it... caused brain damage!"
"But that wouldn't affect you Em," smirked Mia.
"Hey! Watch it!" Em yelled, splashing Mia across the way.
"Guys, um... girls? Knock it off. We came here to relax and we DON'T want to get kicked out," commanded Li.
"So what should we talk about?" asked Rebi, trying to find a way to break the silence.
"Relationships," replied Kio, out of the blue.
"Okay!" said Mia. "How 'bout this. We go in order of the pilot's numbers, then the one after them will describe their relationship and consult the others. So it'll go Kio, I'll describe. Me, Rebi describes. Rebi, Li describes. Li, Em describes. And Em, Kio describes. Okay?"
"Sure!" answered Li. "Go ahead Mia."
Mia pondered for a minute. "Well... Kio and Heero... hm... Close enough to go on a date but not close enough to DO anything too serious. Unless Kio had a sugar high and she drugged Heero's coffee or something."
The other girls giggled and nodded while Kio glared venomously at Mia.
"Your turn Rebi," Em said, still giggling.
"Hm..." thought Rebi. "One word to describe Mia and Duo's relationship... bed."
Everyone broke out into fits of laughter, including Mia. "I haven't gone THAT far!" she yelled.
"Well how far HAVE you gone?" asked Rebi.
"Not tellin'. Go Li," said Mia, evading the subject entirely.
Li thought for a moment. "Well, I think that Rebi and Trowa are practically, how to put it, married?"
The others giggled. Rebi blushed. "NO!"
"Yes," confirmed Mia, recieving various 'yes' answers from the others.
"ARG!" yelled Rebi, sinking lower into the warm water.
"Em's turn!" yelled Mia, ignoring the now pouting Rebi.
Em cleared her throat. "Quat and Li... Not close enough to do anything serious, but that's only 'cause they're so nice and innocent and all."
"Agreed," said Mia. "Okay! Go ahead Kio."
"Em and Wufei, fine as long as they're not in public, otherwise Wufei's whole 'pride' thing'll take over with being an 'onna'," Kio said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Unless you can convince him otherwise," added Mia.
"Hm..." pondered Em and the others laughed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The guys were just relaxing in the warm waters until Duo interrupted the silence. "So... What should the topic of discussion be here?"
The rest of the guys were deep in thought until Wufei spoke up. "How about how far everyone's gone in these relationships. And be honest."
Quatre spoke first. "Well, Lisi and I haven't done anything that bad. The worst may have been french kissing..."
"Ooooh! Quat stuck his tongue in someone's mouth!" Duo cooed, causing said blonde to turn a deep shade of red.
"And what about you Maxwell? Hm?" Wufei asked smugly.
Duo blushed. "We haven't gone THAT far... just..."
Duo was interrupted by Wufei. "Bet he already fucked her."
Duo turned crimson. "I DID NOT YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!"
Wufei, on the other hand, remained calm. "Look who's talking."
Heero and Trowa had to struggle to hold Duo back to prevent him from killing Wufei. "Calm down Duo!" yelled Heero.
"What ARE you guys yelling about over there?!" called Em.
"NOTHING!!!" yelled all five red-faced pilots at once.
"Whatever," Em called, going back to her own side's conversation.
Quatre cleared his throat. "Um... how about you Wufei?" he asked, attempting to make some conversation.
Wufei snorted. "I went no farther than you Winner."
"And you Trowa?" Quatre questioned, turning to his fellow pilot.
"Nothing too far..." mumbled Trowa.
"Like making out on the roof isn't far?" remarked Heero.
Trowa glared at him. "I went no farther than topless."
"Same here!" piped up Duo, glad that someone had finally gone as far as he had.
"Well then... That leaves Heero," said Trowa.
The guys all turned to look at him and Heero suddenly became very red. Quatre gasped. "Heero! You DIDN'T!"
"NO!" shouted Heero, going even redder in the face. "Nothing like that! I stopped it before it got THAT close! Mind you... I HAVE gone farther than all of you have..."
Duo looked slack-jawed. "And you complain about ME?! Hmph!"
The other pilots just laughed. They were snapped roughly out of their merriment when there was a loud crash as the divder in the center fell. Luckily, no one was near it at the time.
"What was that?!" screeched Em.
It was then that Heero and Kio both noticed the familiar suits standing, backs facing them, at the other end of the hot tub. They made eye contact before nodding and quickly ushering the two groups into the separate change rooms.
Kio and Heero didn't explain until both groups had changed and met up in the lobby.
Mia stopped walking. "Okay! I DEMAND to know what's going on!"
Heero took a deep breath and sighed. "OZ found us here."
"WHAT?!" all eight (excluding Kio and Heero) yelled.
"But how?!" protested Duo. "So fast?!"
"Don't worry. They haven't found the home address yet so hopefully they won't know where we are. I think that first day we saw them, they were just looking. They don't recognize the girls. Yet," Heero stated. "Now I think we should get moving unless we want to get caught."
The gang nodded and headed for home.
When they got back, the girls began preparing dinner while the guys sat in the kitchen so everyone could talk.
"So... How come there's still an OZ if Treize is dead?" asked Rebi curiously.
"Unfortunately, we did not manage to kill Daiken, like we thought we had, and he re-built the empire," replied Heero calmly.
"Ah..." muttered Rebi as she finished cutting vegetables. "This enough Mia?"
Mia looked over Rebi's work. "Yep, you're done and free to go Rebi!"
"YAY!" yelled Rebi, doing a little happy dance around the kitchen. She paused when she noticed the pilots staring at her. "What?"
Trowa shook his head. "Nevermind..."
"At least she's not parading around in her underpants..." interrupted Mia.
The others snickered as Trowa unexpectedly blushed. Rebi glared. "I was little!"
"And you still are," replied Mia. "A year by me."
"Oh shut up!" yelled Rebi childishly.
The pilots looked confused and Li took the librity to explain. "Mia's exactly three hundred and sixty days older than Rebi."
The pilots all 'oohed' before Duo asked another question. "So is she the oldest?"
"Nope," replied Li. "I am, then Mia, then Em, then Kio, and last is Rebi. Anymore questions?" When she recieved various 'no' answeres, she returned to frying the chicken. "FRY MY MINIONS! FRY! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" she recieved many weird looks for that one.
