Get Rel
NOTE: I don't own Gundam Wing or its characters.
The town's own Jackson Lampe had just returned from his year long stay in England and was greeted by the sight of deserted streets. Not a person was in sight, not even his own family, any of his friends, not even that tomboy Frankie was around.
He sighed. "I really should not have expected anything more from them, not even when I HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT THOSE NEW PEOPLE!" he screamed, knowing that no matter where any of the gang was they heard him.
"What about the new people?" came a voice from behind Jackson causing him to jump about five feet into the air and drop his suit case on the person's foot. "OW!"
When Jackson landed on the ground he noticed that it was his buddy Bobby hopping up and down while holding injured foot, and then behind Bobby was Jake, Salem (Joey's twin brother), and Warren-a college kid with pure jet black hair. They were all grinning and waving Jackson welcome.
"OW! Here I am hopping around since SOMEONE had to DROP his SUITCASE on my TOE!" howled Bobby not realizing that he was the only person standing in the middle of the street when the horn of a never before seen car honked at him.
Slowly Bobby turned around to see a car that held two girls and a Japanese boy with orange that only Asian people seemed able to create. Stupidly he just stood there with his mouth gapping open, trying to form some words.
"Move!" cried the girl from the backseat with dark blond hair, obviously bleached.
"Sure, just give me a moment!" Bobby yelled back as he hopped as best as he could to the sidewalk while his friends across the street laughed themselves crazy until they were kneeling on the concrete trying to catch their breaths.
"What was that about the new arrivals?" Salem asked between breaths.
Collecting his bearings Jackson answered, "That was them."
Recovering from his fit of laughter Jake stood up and chuckled, "And here we thought that is was one of those Preventer people trying to find our master of disguise, Relena."
"Hush, like anyone could find our dear Lena, she can blend with almost anybody of any sex," Warren grinned straightening up when he noticed that the car with the new arrivals had pulled up between Amy and Bobby's houses, which he was Bobby's neighbor and quite concerned about this when he recalled that there was a spare room across from his bedroom window.
"Mother fluckers!" cursed Bobby, hopping his way to his house to help bring in this 'Selfie Zimmerman's' baggage into the house, considering his parents were away at work. "Hi, I'm Bobby Lucas, yeah I'm the son of the family one of you two…uh girls are going to be staying with…"
"Thank you, my bags are in the back," the girl in the front seat smiled sweetly with this forced high pitch voice that sounded completely wrong for a woman.
Brushing it off with a shrug Bobby went to the trunk, after the driver had popped open the trunk and then pulled out the suit case that had the name Selfie Zimmerman labeled on it. It was a having suitcase too, which made Bobby quite fearful that he may drop it by some perchance on his already injured foot.
"Pardon Bobby!" cried Amy's voice as she shoved him aside, dropping the suitcase on the sidewalk and not on his foot. Amazingly, the suitcase made a small imprint in the concrete which made Bobby's eye start to twitch out of nervousness.
That thing is that heavy?! Lord save us all from this crazy girl, prayed Bobby as he picked up the suitcase and lugged into his house with 'Selfie Zimmerman' following, quite fidgetedly, behind him.
Meanwhile, Amy pulled out 'Mindy Jones'' bags out of the back, which happened to be fairly light suitcases but she didn't get the chance to pull them out of the trunk when Salem decided to be helpful and take out the suitcase needed and slam the trunk closed.
"Uh…thanks, Salem," Amy acknowledged before turning to the last girl in the car. "You're staying with my family missy, welcome to the Phillips' household, Mindy Jones."
"Great!" grinned 'Mindy Jones' as she jumped out of the car and joined Salem and Amy on the streets. "See you later Eiji!"
With that 'Eiji' took off down the street to find his new 'home'.
"Well, let's go in and get you settled," suggested Amy pleasantly. "Salem, isn't the 'company' over at Jason's house right now?"
"When are they not?" snorted Salem noticing 'Mindy's' bewildered expression. "We'll explain what we mean in due time."
Heero did not expect this place to so…quant. It was tiny compared to most of the cities he had seen as a Preventer and as a soldier. Very small and probably with a very close community.
It should take me only a matter of days to find Relena here, he thought to himself. I'm not going to underestimate her again! When making the vow he had parked the car and turned off the ignition in front of a two-story house that looked like it should have been the set of a horror or suspense film from Hollywood.
Getting out his duffle bag Heero marched up the steps of the house and rang the door bell, then waited. And waited. And waited some more, until as he was about to knock on the door itself, it was opened by someone with amber hair and emerald eyes.
"Jason Collins, I presume," he addressed the person.
The person laughed in a sort of deep voice before looking behind the door and motioning someone to come to the door before returning his or her attention to Heero. "Sorry, but you got the wrong person," the person assured, confirming to Heero that this person was a male that was late in puberty.
Suddenly the boy was replaced by a girl with brown and black hair. "I'm Jason Collins, nice to meet you Eiji Kyosei. Come right on in and make yourself at home," offered Jason.
Jason's a girl! I thought I would be staying at a boy's home. I should have done more research instead of just looking at the names. Yuy, you are getting rather careless aren't you?! he scolded himself as he entered the house to find the room next to the door, possibly the living room, was packed with a group of girls, save for three boys.
All of them were watching Heero with great interest and waiting for him to either introduce himself or be introduced by Jason. Neither of which happened at first, no instead the group decided to do roll call.
First there was Robin Shelly-person who Heero noted answered the door, Joey Alley, Frankie Shelly, April Ash, Vicky Wickham (a girl that could very much have been Zeches twin, but with a feminine face), Ricky Racoon (a boy that had a mischief air around him), Ringo Racoon (Ricky's older brother), and last was Kaitlyn Alley (Joey's younger sister).
"Eiji Kyosei," Heero stated at last.
"He's cute…" commented Vicky as she drank in Heero's features. Not that Heero minded, he knew that women often would size him up and even send him wolf calls, but to this he never paid any heed to.
"She's in love all over again," April commented, blowing aside a stray grey bang.
Grey hair…girls have some of the most ridiculous trends, remarked Heero.
"You never know April, she just might actually make a song up about Eiji here like she did to Jake," teased Ricky, only to be bopped on the head with a literature book. "OW!"
"Jerk!" Vicky declared.
"Okay, ignoring the strange and queer folk that are currently occupying my house, let's go see your room," suggested Jason, pulling Heero up a staircase, down a hall, and up another staircase until they were at, Heero presumed to be, the attic.
Who could not think it was the attic?! It was covered in dust, filled with unused furniture and did not have any real modern equipment in it. It didn't even have electricity running through the place.
Well, that leaves out the option of using their phone line to call up Duo or Hilde, but I suppose it is for the best, sighed Heero as he rubbed his temples and stood in his 'room'. "Cozy," he said dryly.
"Yeah, I know it's not a Hilton room or even a Motel 6 room, but it was either this or you bunking with me in my room," Jason told him. "Still, you could always sleep in sofa city, but be warned that about five or six o'clock in the morning the house is usually invaded by my friends, my rivals, or my dad's buddies. It's not exactly a quiet time, but if you think you can sleep through it all, be my guest."
Heero didn't very much like that idea. Sure, a sofa would be a lot more comfortable than that camping cot, but Heero had suffered through worse in the past. Plus he liked his privacy, which was one thing that he felt that he must always have. His privacy and his laptop, two of his top three 'must haves' the three was Relena's whereabouts, which he was a bit lacking on.
"So," spoke up Jason, "I'll leave you to settle in and I'll see what I can do about getting rid of my posse." With that, his hostess left him to his own devices and Heero let out a sigh.
"This is going to take some time," he stated in defeat as he looked about the room. I'll have to call up Hilde and Duo later. Rolling up his sleeves Heero began to get to work on making this attic a tolerable place to take residence in.
