Part 6
Out at Night
Silver: HEYLO. Sorry about the delay, but I was recently confused about the order of the story...I got lost inside my own fic!!! And I Am also sorry about dropping Quatre out of an airplane...but you have to admit, it was convenient.
Rae: NO OWN !
Duo and Shinigami had gone 'home', Larka and Laoka had left (to where? We may never know) and now Rae had decided to follow suit, and go out as well.
"I'm leaving!" Rae yelled up the stairs, she didn't have to be too quiet at this time of night, Oni was still awake, not to mention downstairs. It was the third night after Quatre had woken up, and he had gotten as used as possible to his surroundings.
"To go where?" Hack asked.
"Out"
"Out where
"Side, obviously"
Hack sighed, they just can't co-operate, can they?
"Where ya goin' Rae?" Silver's head popped in from the kitchen, halfway up the living room wall.
"Out "Rae repeated
Silver side-glanced at Hack, "And where might this out be situated exactly?"
Rae thought of ways to avoid the question, but could find none,"Following Brick"
Rebecca's hand flashed out of the bathroom, making a rude sign at Rae.
" Back at ya, but I'm bored" Rae shrugged, "So I'm following you"
" You know where she's goin', don't you?" Silver asked, her voice floating in from the kitchen.
"Yes, but I'm not going in, what? Are you sane or something?" Rae asked Silver incredulously, at the obvious insinuation she was going inside that place...yetch.
"Oni wants to come" Rae spotted the pigtailed head peeking in from the stair rail.
"Yes, Oni does, she is lucky, has a plan she does" Oni I replied, smiling.
They could hear Silver laughing at the Yoda impersonation.
"Do you have to come with me?" Rebbecca asked, jumping down the stairs that lead up to the bedrooms, Oni was on the downstairs ones.
"Not if you don't want us to, we can find another way, can't we Oni?"
"0o0o0o0o0o0o" Oni smiled.
"Just don't get caught" Ishono said, matter-of-factly...it seemed to fit too, as she's been sitting at the computer for the last 6 hours.
"Won't, Won't" Oni replied.
"I'm leaving, zi you later" Rebbecca yelled, pretty much a warning to everyone else they had only so long to either clean up, or talk about random murders before she got back, or both.
"But your still here" Iishono said.
Becky stuck her tongue out at her, and walked out the front door.
"Take care of Shimunei, and don't get caught" Ishono waved the two other girls out, and they left after taking water bottles from the kitchen, most likely for no good use.
Rebbecca slid earphones under her hair, and sat back on the bus. She was listening to some songs from a show called Gravitation that Hack had gotten for her.... perfect for drowning out the horrors of public transport. Don't get her wrong though, she wasn't a person hater, she just disliked how certain people took care of them selves...she was quite the neat freak.
It didn't take long, or, for her, not long enough (she was listening to her favorite song) before the bus dropped her off at her destination.
"Too many lights!" She muttered quietly, striving to find a seat in the striped tent.
Do you know where she is? You should.
(And if you don't, then you need to watch more GW)
The show was good, even if she's seen it a few times before...it was like FLCL; it's good no matter how many times you watch it. But this time she had something to look for.
"She iz nowhere to be seen....Nope, nope, nope, nope..."............. "AHA!"
Ignoring the look the person beside her gave her, she finally relaxed enough to cheer for the knife-thrower.
The show was one of the best ones yet, it was different...she couldn't pinpoint how either. That wasn't unusual for her, sometimes she swore she had blonde roots (A/N: no offense, Pearsons, I'm just repeating what she told me)
Too soon for even her liking, however, it was over, and she threw her empty popcorn bag in the garbage bin, and walked slowly and inconspicuously around back, until she saw the telltale miniskirt and red hair. She crept , hopefully quietly, until she was right behind the person.
"Haylo Cath!"
She got what she wanted, Catherine jumped.
She turned surprised but smiling, "Long time no see"
"Long time no anything, unless you count odd occurrences, but that'll be later" Becky smiled, "Howzis?"
"Tired, but good, it's been a lot different recently, with the war and such"
"Tell me about it"
They sat down inside and she did, and Rebbecca strived to remember all of it.
"My o my...that iz a fair bit different.
"Yeah, but I warned you, didn't I?"
"That you did"
" And what about you?"
Rebbecca sighed, "Lifez been odd"
"what do you mean, odd?"
"So far, Gundam pilots are appearing out of the woodwork, we'v'nt seen them until now, and they haven't seen us...but then Lia decided to intervene in a murder and splat! They're everywhere, and I am thoroughly convinced that one of them being Pushed out of an airplane makes that noise" She shrugged,"That's why I'm here, iz Trowa around? I saw him in the show"
Catherine looked pale."Yeah, one sec"
It didn't take more than that before Trowa came out.
"Heylo" Rebbecca said, she was smiling, but he wouldn't be able to tell you why. Neither would she.
"Hello" He sat beside her, "I heard that-"
"You heard half of that" Rebecca corrected," The other half I didn't tell her because I needed to see you immediately"
"What happened?"
She relayed the story to him, and he sighed. More in relief then confusion, as she expected, but the questions would come.
"How would anyone have survived that?"
"Don't ask me, I'm just the messenger, he was the next closest thing to dead when we found him. But he's far from that now"
"Where is he?"
"Where spec you?"
"At your house?"
"Yupp"
'And you've met the others?"
"Yupp, he was the last one"
"This is strange"
"You better believe it"
"K, Oni, you ready?"
"Yeeeeessssss.... lotz o luck here" The little girl carefully unscrewed the cap to her water bottle, and balanced it on the tree branch, before jumping down.
She sat down and waited...it was only, after all, a matter of time.
A little while after Rebbecca had left, Trowa walked around the outside of the tent, thinking of how it was even possible that Quatre survived, and was recovering boundlessly at that!
His thoughts were interrupted, when he was a small, and particularly lost looking girl staring t the sky.
"Are you lost?"
"No." She replied, "But you might be"
"What do you mean?"
"Wait and see....if you do, you'll be waiting a looooooonnnggggtime, but I know an easier way"
He was growing suspicious, but it was only a little girl, who didn't even look like she was 10 yet....what harm could it do?
You'd think he'd know better, being a Gundam pilot and all, hn?
"Lost and with out a cause, lost for words, loss of time, loss of sleep..."She smiled, "Losses of losses"
"This conversation is supposed to lead to what?" He mused
"Water" She replied matter-of-factly.
"What about water?"
""Water and Gravity...and luck"
He looked at her thoughtfully, and sat beside her.
"What does luck have to do with an element, and science?"
"Luck controls everything" The little girl replied, "Watchy"
He assumed that meant he was to watch and so, against his better judgment that he should even be here, he did.
"See! In that cage, there is an ananimal..."She shook her head"An animal. Luck is what stops it's banging from breaking the cage"
As if on cue, the horse in its trailer started to stomp.
"That would be a science" Trowa corrected, "The cage is too strong"
"IT isn't, but the horse thinks it is, so, as luck would have it, it won't break out. Luck governs our lives, even if we wish to call it something else"
She grinned, "But luck isn't going to stop those water bottles from falling on your head"
"What do you mean...?" He looked up, and two identical water bottles soaked his face.
"That's what I mean."
"I see, and did you do this all yourself?"
"No wayz! Rae's helpful"
"Who's Rae?"
"Me, but 'me ' shall be here no longer, neither will she, or probably you"
"What do you mean?" He asked for the second, and not last time.
"We are going home, following the Brick, and you'll be...lets just say leaving, right?"
"You're a friend of Rebbecca's?"
"Yep!" Oni grinned, and ran over to Rae, before yawning "Tired"
"Then lets go" They turned away to leave, but not before Oni turned back with a wide, slightly evil, grin.
"See you later"
Rae: What was the purpose of throwing water on Trowa, you ask? It was fun.
Silver: That's all that counts, be back with updates as soon as writers block moves out!!!
