??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The next day was the tryouts for the new Gundam pilots. Eighteen girls showed up, out of the twenty that registered. Melina was just late, and the other girl was either late or not showing. Duo stood outside the training hall, making sure no one entered. But, due to their rapid growth spurt, girls were hounding the now deliciously handsome boys. Duo was enjoying every minute of it. Heero, although he had on his trademark scowl, was attracting more girls than Duo. One girl in particular kept clawing at him. Heero thought she look familiar, but couldn't quite name whom she looked like.
A loud rumbling noise came up the street, almost silencing the crowd. Melina pulled up in an old Harley Davidson motorcycle, scaring half the crowd and surprising the two G-boys. Taking off her helmet, she called;
"Melina May-Kline, number zero seven!"
Pushing through the crowd, Duo ran over to her. He was followed by Heero's shouts that sounded like; "Duo! Get the fuck back here!"
"Melina, what are you doing here?" He asked.
"Do you really think I'm going to let someone other than myself pilot Hellspawn? She's my best friend! I don't want her going to waste." She traced her finger along Duo's bottom lip. "You understand, right?"
He smirked. "Are you coming on to me?"
Melina grinned. "Maybe." She replied. "Do you think I am?"
Before Duo could reply, a tall and husky girl stomped towards them and separated the two.
"Hey," She growled. "Leave him alone."
"Yeah!" Squeaked a little girl at her side. "Get your own guy."
When Melina began provoking them, the larger girl grabbed her by the collar. Looking at her closer, the girl noticed that Melina looked exactly like Duo.
"Oh, I am sorry." She said, blushing. "I didn't know that he had a twin sister." She put Melina down.
Duo almost split his sides with laughter. Melina said there was no harm done, and the two girls left.
"Looks like your entourage is calling you." Melina said, pointing to the girls. "I'll leave you alone. See you inside." She gave Duo a kiss on the cheek and started walking away. But Duo grabbed her arm and pulled her back towards him. When she was against him, he gently kissed her lips. Before Melina could melt into that kiss, he broke away from her, and whispered,
"For good luck." He let go of her. Melina blushed and walked towards her bike. As she walked, she glanced over her shoulder to make sure that it hadn't been a dream and that Duo was really there.
Quatre, who had walked outside to take Heero's place, put a hand on Duo's shoulder. "She fancies you, as you do her." He said, smiling.
Duo raised an eyebrow. "Me? Like her? What gave you that idea?"
Quatre laughed. "Alright, I'll drop it!"
Doctor J's voice blasted over the P.A system. "Ladies, if would please step in side, we will begin the tryouts." The hall doors opened and the girls stepped in side. They stood in complete darkness, many confused and scared. Melina stood completely still until the lights flashed on.
"Good morning ladies and thank you for coming." Doctor J said. "My name is Doctor J. We will now begin the roll call." He took out a clipboard with sheets of names attached to it. "Zero one, Anita Chon!" He called.
"Here!" The girl yelled. Melina looked to her right and saw a girl of about fifteen standing next to her.
"Hi." Melina said. "I'm Melina."
"Hey buddy." Anita said. "I'm Anita, nice ta meetcha."
"Number zero five, Alison Freeburg!"
"Here!" Cried a girl. Melina looked behind her and noticed the husky girl from earlier.
"Number zero seven, Melina May-Kline!" Doctor J called.
"Here!" Melina called.
"Zero eight, Megan Pepper!" There was silence. "Megan Pepper!" The hall doors opened and in stepped a skinny girl of fifteen. She was dressed in a mini-skirt, high heels, and a tube top. Melina tried to hold in a laugh, but Anita didn't even try.
"Miss," Doctor J said, "are you Megan Pepper?"
"That would be me. Sorry I'm late. I was here sometime in the morning, but I left to get a manicure."
Annoyed, Doctor J told her get in line. Megan stood next to Melina.
"Ugh." Megan exclaimed when she was next to Melina. "How can you dress like that?"
Melina didn't know what the girl was talking about. She thought that the way she dressed was very practical. She was dressed in a short, white t-shirt, short shorts, black boots, and her mechanic gloves. Here hair was in its normal braid and her knife was in its holster at the thigh. Melina shrugged and turned her attention to Doctor J.
"Number zero eleven, Winona Reagan!"
"Here!" The girl yelled.
Melina couldn't see the girl, but suspected she was the strawberry blond girl in the front. Melina caught Duo's eye and waved to him. Duo smiled back and winked at her. Melina went a light shade of red. Anita nudged Melina and pointed to Megan. Megan was waving and smiling at Duo. Duo was trying to her.
"Number zero thirteen, Francis Deloncre!" It was now Instructor H who was calling the roll.
"Here!" Squeaked a small voice. Melina looked around and saw the small girl who accompanied the taller girl earlier.
"Number zero fourteen, Michelle Bussayabuntoon!"
"Here!" The girl called. Melina saw her three people down. She was very short and cute. Melina thought that she was only thirteen.
"Number zero fifteen, Jaclyn Ford!"
"Here!" The girl called. Melina blanked out after the next number. The last girl, number zero twenty, brought her zooming back to the colony.
"Here!" Cried a girl standing next to Michelle. Melina asked Anita who the girl was. Anita said that it was Michelle's sister, Joann.
"Now," began Doctor J, "will numbers zero one to zero four please line up behind Heero." Heero raised his hand. Anita waved good-bye and left. "Numbers zero five to zero eight, please line up behind Duo." Duo raised his hand, but didn't smile.
The rest of the girls lined up behind the remaining pilots: zero nine to zero twelve with Quatre, zero thirteen to zero sixteen with Trowa, and zero seventeen to zero twenty with Wufei. Wufei looked less than pleased.
"The boys will take you to different halls. At noon, you will report back here for lunch. That is all."
"Ladies, please follow me." Duo called. He led them to a room; inside were four game machines entitled "Galaga."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Well?? It was long, I know. But was it good? Okay, okay, the kiss was a little too soon, but if you ever saw Star Wars: A New Hope, you must remember that Leia kissed Luke and they had only known each other for fifteen minutes!!! So there!!! Hahahaha! A cliffhanger. And Galaga is a real game. I just played it today and got to level eight. I really don't know if there is a boss. I would have to ask an expert.
