Chapter 5You
Toya walked out of her room in the middle of the night to get a soda out of the fridge. She was pulling an all nighter so she could make up some battle strategies, which was actually just playing a gundam wing video game. But before she got to the kitchen she heard Wufei's door open. She backed up and looked around the corner to see Sarah come out of his room wrapped in a towel.
"Do you feel better now?" Toya asked as Sarah passed by her. Sarah stopped dead in her tracks.
"What are you doing up so late?" Sarah asked.
"Battle strategies."
"You mean video games?"
"Same difference. How long?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean!"
"Um... two months."
"Since we've been here?!!!!"
"Yeah." After Sarah said this Toya ran screaming to her room. The Toya ran back out to the fridge, grabbed a soda, and then ran screaming back to her room. Sarah just shook her head and walked to her room.
Toya walked out of her room to another room filled with grumbling stomachs. She hadn't been able to get a wink of sleep all night. "Where was our breakfast?" Wufei asked her. Apparently, he hadn't heard about last night yet.
"You!" She pointed at him. Lack of sleep made her very testy. "How dare you do THAT to MY sister?!" She yelled.
Wufei went ghostly white when everyone in the room started asking random questions like, "What did he do?" or "Want me to help you kill him?"
Wufei cleared his throat and everyone stared at him. "She came on to me. Not the other way around."
Cherie jumped when she saw the flames in Toya's eyes. She slowly walked over to Wufei and said slowly, "I'll miss you so much. However, when you die... Can I have your gundam?"
Before he could answer Toya spat out a remark referring to his previous statement. "EVERY NIGHT FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS?!!!!!" Again, Wufei went ghost white and this time he ran.
"Better run! COWARD!!!!!!!!!" Toya yelled running after him. Not wanting to miss a minute of this battle, Heero, Trowa, and Quatra all run after them.
Duo looked over at the only other person in the room with him. 'Why does it have to be Cherie?' He asked himself. For the past two months, she had constantly been on his mind. Now was probably the best time to tell her. He slowly inched over to the stupefied girl. "Um..." He started.
"Yes?" Cherie asked looking over at him. She smiled and it made his heart race. Why was she so cute?
"Um... would you... like to... go out with me?" He said. He looked in her confused face and started rattling on. "I mean we could go to a movie, go to an arcade, or maybe out to dinner"
Cherie stopped him when she kissed him on the cheek and said, "I'd love to." She then walked out of the room leaving the beet-red-faced boy alone.
"Okay..." He said as the silence was taken away when Wufei ran in closely followed by Toya.
"Duo, you should have seen it! She slammed him through a wall!" Heero said. Everyone was laughing as they watched Toya beat the living daylight out of him. Toya jumped off of him when Sarah walked out of her room.
"Oh sissy dear." Toya said sarcastically. "It's time for your punishment." Toya ran down the hall and slammed Sarah into the closest wall. "I will NEVER see you and him together... EVER!"
"Okay!" Sarah yelled.
Toya let go of her. "And just to make sure I'm setting up security cameras in front of both of your doors." She turned around and smiled. "Now other than these two... who wants breakfast?"
"I do!" Everyone yelled in unison and followed her into the kitchen.
"What's that?" Heero asked looking at the TV screen.
"A gundam wing video game." Toya said as she continued to battle the Tallgese.
"Do you get to play as us?" Duo asked.
"Yup." Cherie said.
"You wanna play?" Toya asked as she pressed the reset button on the game system. "You can play as Milliardo Peacecraft."
"Sounds like fun!" Heero yelled grabbing the controller. He proceded to make Milliardo run into every single wall there was. "This game is awesome!"
"Nice to know you like it." Toya said sarcastically. "Who knew you could be so leisurely?" Toya asked.
"I've learned to loosen up a little." Heero said.
"We haven't gotten to meet Relena yet." Toya whined. "When are you going to let her come visit?"
"Not while you're around." Heero said.
"Not fair!" Toya complained. "If you don't let me meet her, then I will go meet her myself." She said and walked towards the hangar door.
"NO!" Heero yelled stopping her. "I'll get her..." He said and gave the controller to Cherie who immeadiately started playing as Duo. "I'll be back in a couple of hours." He said.
"I knew I could make him." Toya said after Heero dissapeared. "He is so easy to get him to do whatever I want him to." She said sitting down on the couch. "Where is everyone one else?" She asked looking around.
"Last thing I knew..." Duo said. "Sarah was going shopping, Quatra had to go visit his family, Wufei was hiding from you, and Trowa went to meditate."
"I didn't know that Trowa meditated." Toya said. "When did he start that up?"
"About four months ago." Duo said. "He's really serious about it."
"Well, if I'd known that I would have joined him." Toya said. "I like to meditate every once in a while... especially when I'm stressed."
"Well, the room is just down the hall there." Duo pointed out. "You could just go join him now..."
"See ya!" Toya said walking down the hall. 'Now which door would it be...' She thought. 'Maybe the one that says 'Meditation Room.'' Toya thought sarcastically finding the door. She opened it and was shocked by how beautiful it was in there. There was grass everywhere and she could hear a waterfall somewhere in there. Bamboo and other green plants were planted everywhere. She walked along the stone path until she came upon a patch of ground that had an afghan rug and some pillows. Sitting on one of the pillows was Trowa.
Trying not to interrupt him, she walks just a little farther down the stone path and found a large pond with koi and the waterfall over in the corner. Stepping-stones made a path to a large stone in the middle where two more pillows sat. "This is so..."
"Beautiful?" Trowa asked scaring Toya to death.
"Don't do that." She said. "I think I just had a heart attack... ten times!" She yelled. "Oh my god..." She said starting to breathe again. "That was so funny." Toya said and started laughing.
"What was funny?" Trowa asked.
"I nearly jumped out of my skin." Toya said still laughing. "You snuck behind me and scared me half to death."
"I didn't mean to." Trowa said.
"It's okay, dude." Toya said. "I probably should have paid more attention anyway."
"Maybe." Trowa said.
"So who made this room?" Toya asked.
"I did." Trowa said.
"Really?" Toya asked. As she followed Trowa along the stepping stones. "How long did it take you?" She asked.
"About a month." He answered. "I needed a place to retreat and get away from everything."
"Sorry." Toya said.
"About what?" Trowa asked.
"I probably shouldn't have come in." She said. "I should have just waited til next time and asked you then."
"About what?" Trowa asked.
"I sometimes like to meditate when things get stressful." She said as she looked at a Kohaku-colored koi next to her. "It makes life bearable."
"I didn't know you liked to meditate." Trowa said sitting down.
"My life was so hard on me." Toya said rolling onto her back. "I never got along too well with other kids, and my sister didn't really help. Even when I was a little kid, kids would tease me and pick on me all the time. I didn't make any friends until eigth grade, when I met Cherie. Finally one day I got fed up and beat the snot of this one boy who played a very cruel joke on me."
"What happened?" Trowa asked.
"He pretended to be my boyfriend for a week, and then he told me in front of everyone during lunch... I just lost it and went at him." She said. "He seemed like such a nice guy and I wanted to feel like I actually had someone in my life... but I was just being an idiot. No one has ever loved me and no one ever will."
"Everyone is loved someday." Trowa argued. "They just have to wait until they find the right person. Until then, just stay who you are."
"I guess so." Toya said sitting up. "That's what I've done so far and look now... still not one real boyfriend."
"All you have to do is wait, Toya." Trowa said. "Someone will recognize how special you really are and then you can prove everyone wrong."
"Sounds cool." She said. "We haven't meditated yet..." Toya said. "I guess we forgot."
"How about we just try it again tomorrow instead?" Trowa asked. "Everyone should be coming back soon and I'll help you with dinner."
"Really?" Toya asked. "Since when have you cooked?" She asked eying him suspiciously.
"How do you think gundam pilots survive through their missions?" Trowa asked.
"Fine then." Toya said. "We are having Chiken Ceasar Salad with home made dressing, Seafood Pasta, and Strawberry Shortcake for desert."
"I'll do the Shortcake." Trowa said.
"So this is where you've been hiding for the past two months, Heero." Relena said walking in. "So what's been so important that you won't even call me?"
"We've been training new recruits." Heero said.
"Really?" Relena asked. "There are more gundam pilots now?"
"Two pilots, one mechanic to be precise." Heero said gloomily.
"I want to meet them." Relena said. "What is that heavenly smell?"
"Go look in the kitchen and you'll meet one of our new pilots." Heero said. Relena ran in and saw a girl ripping lettuce apart. Trowa was standing beside her chopping up strawberries.
"Who's that?" She asked.
"The new pilot." Heero said.
"Hello, Relena." Toya said turning around. "Hope you don't mind pasta."
"It smells wonderful." Relena said cheerfully. "I'm sure it will taste just as good."
"Thank you." Toya said. "Heero, why don't you go introduce her to Cherie. I believe she's still playing the video game. I don't believe there is any reason for her to meet Sarah."
"Okay." Heero said walking out.
"Do her and Trowa date?" Relena asked.
"No." Heero said. "They hardly ever even talk to each other.
"It seemed to me that they were having a nice conversation when we walked in." Relena said.
"Must have been your imagination." Heero argued.
"WOO-HOO!!" Cherie yelled as they walked into the living room.
"What happened?" Heero asked jumping over the couch and sitting down.
"I just destroyed the Libra!" Cherie said excitedly. "Take that you evil scum bucket!"
"That's my brother you were talking about." Relena said.
"And he's an evil scum bucket." Cherie said.
"Everyone!" Toya yelled out of the kitchen. "Come get it or I'm throwing to the hogs!"
Toya: Yeah... Relena isn't going to like me there for just a while in the next chapter... Trowa had SO many perfect opportunities to ask me out! But did he? NO! He just sat there and listened! No comfort such as a... hmm... let's say... kiss? Anyway's please join me next time for our next exciting installment of Interdimensions.
