Hiya, my lovely readers!
Sorry that I didn't update sooner than usual, but my boyfriend and I decided to take a spur-of-the-moment mini-vacation!
I just wanted to thank all of my reviewers. Ya'll really know how to make me feel loved!
I refuse to do another disclaimer!!
So… on with it…
Usagi woke up at nine o'clock the next morning. Luckily, this was a vacation, or she would have died. She hated waking up at six every morning, but it would have been especially worse if she had only two hours of sleep. She thought about last night with a smile. It was nice to find someone to talk to. Someone that was new and wasn't a part of her past. Someone she could forget herself and everything with.
She stretched in bed and glanced at the clock. She would have slept longer if she hadn't been disturbed by the blazing sun glaring through her window. She sat up and groaned. Deciding that it was a bad idea and still too early she laid back down and covered her head with her pillow.
Right at the brink of falling back asleep her door opened with a resounding thud. "Mama? Mama, wake up." Usagi decided to feign sleep and maybe she would go away. "Mamaaaaa…" So much for that idea. "Mama, you've had five hours of sleep. That's plenty. Wake up!"
Usagi frowned. 'How did she know that?'
"Mama," Usa grounded out. "Get…" Noticing a large, white, rectangular projectile heading her way Usa dodged it, letting it fly out of the open door.
They both heard an "oof" outside of the room. Moments later a perplexed looking Heero stepped in holding the fluffy weapon. "I don't know how you did it, but good aim. Do you normally pelt people with pillows in the morning?" he laughed.
Usagi turned a pretty shade of candy apple red. "I'm sorry… I…"
"Mom always throws things when she's cranky. So, it's usually an every morning occurrence." Usa piped up.
The flustered young woman turned to her daughter. "I'm up now, so go away before I throw something heavier."
"Come, Usa, I don't think getting clunked in the head twice is a good way to start the day."
"Oh, don't worry. That was a fluke. Mom couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if she wanted to." Usa said with mirth as she walked of the room with Heero.
(Scene Break)
After Usagi showered and got ready she went down to the breakfast room. There she found Usa trying to coax Heero into eating a piece of grapefruit. Heero was refusing earnestly.
"Usa," she began sternly. "If he says he doesn't like grapefruit don't force him."
The girl turned to her mother. "He likes it, but he was picking on me about how I eat it."
"I don't understand why anyone would want to put salt on fruit." Heero said defending himself.
Usagi replied cheerfully. "Hey don't knock it 'til you try it."
"You like it?"
"Yep, been eating it since I was younger than her. Hey, it could be worse, my mother use to put peanut butter in her gravy."
The group that had been watching with interest all made a face of genuine disgust.
"Fine, fine, I'll try it." Heero gave in. He opened his mouth and Usa plopped the bitter fruit in. Heero made a face that was unrecognizable.
"Do you like it Daddy?" Erik asked with enthusiasm.
He chewed slowly and swallowed. "It's interesting."
"But at least you tried it and now you know." Usagi tried to sound condescending if trying to a disobedient child.
The whole group laughed and continued to eat their breakfast.
Usagi sat beside Heero and continue the conversation that they were having the previous night. This didn't go unnoticed by some that were at the table.
"Come on everybody, hurry it's time for the beach." Duo chimed. Heero and Usagi came out of their discussion to realize that breakfast was over.
'Damn, Duo, always at the most inopportune time." Relena thought glumly.
(Scene Break)
When they got to the beach the children ran to the water, as the adults couldn't restrain them any longer. They set their area close to the water to watch the kids. Quatre went to find them some drinks. He brought back three margaritas, two pina coloda's, a sex on the beach, and a long island iced tea. all my favorite drinks, thank you!
"Come on Usagi, take off that tee-shirt and shorts and lay in the sun with me." Relena cajoled her. Usagi looked at herself and saw that she looked pretty stupid when everybody had stripped to their bathing suits. Relena was looking especially pretty with her pink one-piece that was modest, but said something totally different. She gave a glance to everyone else but she couldn't help but notice someone's sexy, broad shoulder muscles, down to his chest, further down to his lean abdomen, leading all the way down to… 'Usagi! Get your mind out of the gutter!' she chastised herself.
Heero couldn't help but notice her visual tour of his body and smiled. 'Well, she finds me attractive.' He thought with a certain amount of egotism. 'Maybe a woman in my life isn't such a bad idea after all.'
Usagi pulled off the baggy tee and shorts to reveal a tasteful white bikini. It was Heero's turn for some eye candy. He started from her feet and made his way up to her shapely legs, trim stomach, all the way up to her… neck. Dirty thoughts are not good in a public place. 'Nope,' his smile broadened, 'not a bad idea at all.'
"Relena, I'll join you after a quick dip." Usagi said and ran to the water. She dived in and came up a few seconds later. All the men on the beach were stopped in awe. Her hair band came undone and the silvery tresses, wet from the sea, clung to her body. She was absolutely…
"Stunning." Wufei gasped.
"Mermaid!" Duo chanted. "And I saw her first." He stuck out his tongue and ran to the enchantress.
'Duo, I'm going to kill you.' Heero thought lividly.
My Rant
So there is the next bit. Kind of shorter than usual, but I'm very tired now, sleep is good!
Right now, I've got one yes for the G-boys/Scouts and one no. Let me know if ya'll want it or not.
Oh, yeah, and I eat salt on my grapefruit. It's very good!
Next chappy: Usagi and Heero action! Yippy, I know that everyone is waiting for that!
Review, review, review! I know you want to!
Lots of Love…
Pretty Pilot out…
