Chapter 3

After changin' into a girl in front a my new friends firs' thing, the day went down hill pretty fast. To save time I'm only gonna give ya the highlights. Ukyo was back an' started actin' jealous 'bout Chang an' Dana an' started bein' damn clingy. That pissed off Akane even more which nearly got me a flight by Akane air 'til Chang cut the head off of that mallet too. Then the teacher assigned a research project to be done in fours an' Akane an' Ukyo got even madder 'cause I'd teamed up with Chang an' Dana jus' as fast as I could, an' Chang wanted to save the open spot for a friend that was gonna be showin up in a couple a days.

Most a the rest a the class was pissed off at me too. The guys 'cause now they couldn't ask Dana ta work with 'em, an' most a the gals 'cause they couldn't ask either of the new kids to work with 'em. Most of 'em thought Chang was a hottie even if he did look kinda young, an' Dana was friendly an' nice enough that most of them wanted to make friends with her. Only a couple were jealous that all of the guys wanted to ask her out.

At lunch it only got worse, an' thanks to the three girls an' Mousse I ended up explainin' 'bout the whole fiancée mess that Pops had gotten me into. Dana just laughed and called him an idiot but Chang started fumin' 'bout injustice an comin' up with ideas for things to do to Pops in revenge. I really liked some of his ideas, specially the ones with explosives tied to Pops tail, but they still didn't make up for what led to the explanation.

Things leveled off after lunch 'til Ryouga showed up right after school an' started a fight as usual. Things were pretty normal 'til he threw that damn umbella of his an' damn near hit Dana. Woulda too if Chang hadn't a pulled her outta the way. That's when I got pissed an' sent him flyin. He must a landed in water somewhere cause Akane found P-chan on the way home. So I give him a bad time as usual an' Akane sends me flyin'.

For once she sends me somewhere I wanna go, though the landin' woulda been damn embarrassin' if I'd been awake for it. I came to on a futon with Dana lookin' at me an' holdin' a wet rag. Soon's she saw me awake she ran an' got Chang who showed up with the blonde kid in tow. Tha's how I met Quatre Winner, or Kat as they were callin' him, flat on my back lookin' like a pitiful mess. Not how ya wanna meet a guy livin' in the same house as a girl ya like believe you me.

When Chang figured out that I was fine an' tha' Akane had sent flyin' again he was pissed. At least 'till I told him why she'd hit me, then he stopped bein' pissed at her an' got pissed at Ryouga. I'll admit I just stared at him as he started rantin' 'bout injustice an' honor. I asked Kat if Chang was gonna bust somethin' and he told me this was somethin' he did pretty regular. All I could do was apologize for settin' him off. Kat laughed, shrugged it off an' invited me to dinner. Of course I stayed.

At supper I met a couple of other guys, Triton Bloom an' Odin Yuy. I think they didn't think I noticed but Yuy was pissed 'bout me bein' there for some reason. So while he kept an eye on me, I kept an eye on him while I answered questions an' told stories 'bout trainin'. That started when Chang asked me what kinda trainin' I'd had an' asked if I could teach him some things. Course no one even pretended to believe me 'bout most a it 'til I showed 'em stuff Pops'd taught me an' changed into a girl, but I still think they didn't believe me.

In any case, I get home an' Pops is waitin' to lecture me 'bout keepin' Akane happy an' bein' a dutiful son, meanin' doin' everythin' he wants. I ignore him an' head up to the bathroom to clean up. Then I read in the kitchen 'til Pops stumbled up the stairs to go to sleep then I waited a bit an' followed him.

After the first couple of days things got pretty regular. Get up, meet Chang, Dana, an' Yuy on the way to school, bash Kuno if Akane hadn't got to him yet, go to class, try to avoid fiancées at lunch, more class, an' head home. 'bout twice a week the four of us, me Chang, Yuy, an' Dana got tagether at their place or the dojo to work on the research project. If we met at the dojo, they stayed for supper, same if I was over there. I'd go over to spar with Chang an' Yuy a couple a nights a week too.

Spendin' all that time with 'em I started to notice a few things. Like gun oil in the livin' room one evenin', bloody bandages in the trash in the bathroom, an' that they had a full med kit instead a first aid kit, an' that there were only the five a 'em in the house with no foster parents, an' a couple a 'em at a time would disappear for a day or two. Eventually I started wonderin' what was goin' on, so I started watchin' 'em.

After 'bout a week a watchin' an' seein' one or two a 'em leavin' for a bit every night an' tryin' to find where they went, I managed to follow Chang in the rain one night. He went to a warehouse near the docks, used a keypad thingy and slipped inside. I was about to try to get a better look when Dana came strollin' up. But somethin' was wrong. She was wearin' pants an' her chest was flat! She was a guy! My first guess was Jusenkyo, but spillin' hot an cold water on her later didn't do anythin' so I figured she had to be a guy pretendin' to be a girl.

By that time I was so confused I didn't know what to do. So I just kept on watchin', figurin' I'd see somethin' to help me figure out what was goin' on at some point.

It was a couple of days after findin' out that Dana was a guy that I started tryin' to figure out just what I felt about her...well, him. After a couple of days of thinkin', I finally figured out that I was interested in Dana in the same way I used to be interested in Akane an' that findin' out she was a he didn't change things at all.

I freaked out.

All I could think about was Mom findin' out that I was attracted to a guy an' makin' me cut my self open.

I tried to convince myself I was imagining things an' that I wasn't still interested in Dana that way after findin' out she was a guy. That didn't work. Especially after the dreams started an' I began wakin' up to damp sheets an' boxers. That's when I raided Pops stash of girly magazines an' took off on a trip for a couple of days to try to replace what my libido was tellin' me with somethin' else. That worked for a little bit but by the morning of the third day guy's bits were showin' up again.

That's when I headed home depressed as hell that the best dreams I'd ever had were gonna get me killed.

I got back to the dojo just in time to clean up an' go to school. There I went back to stayin' as far away from Dana, Chang, an' Yuy as possible. That only lasted 'til school got out.

Soon as the teacher had left, Dana marched over to my desk on the other side of the classroom, grabbed my ear twisted it an' used it to pull me out the door an' down the hall. Just before she got me, I spotted Chang an' Yuy followin' her.

Next thing I knew, s..he was pullin' me into an empty room, pushin' me into a chair, an' orderin' me ta tell her... him just what the hell my problem was. She kept at me 'til I couldn't stand it any more. I guess I coulda just left, but somehow I didn't even think of it. So I told her I'd figured out that I was interested in a guy. She just stared at me an' asked what my problem was then.

All I could do was stare at her an' blush. There was no way I was gonna tell him that he made me realize that I was interested in guys too, or at least one guy in particular. An' there was no way in hell that I was gonna tell him of all people just what my brain'd been comin' up with at night during the last week. So I blurted out that it was wrong, guy's were supposed to be interested in girls not other guys, an' that my mother would kill me if she found out 'bout this.

After a couple of minutes just lookin' at me, she pulled me outta the chair she'd put me in an' headed towards her house with me in tow.

Soon as we were somewhere private she sat me down again an' started to give me a lecture. I learned things from that 'little' talk that I'd never thought about before, some of them I'd rather not have known. By the time she was done, supper was over, I hada sosme extra homework to do, an' I'd finally calmed down an' started thinkin' 'bout what she'd told me instead of panicking 'bout bein' interested in guys. I was feelin' better 'bout the whole thing, but I knew my mother was still gonna kill me if she ever found out 'bout this.

It was a month after Dana an' Chang had showed up at school an' 'bout a week an' a half afer that little talk, when Akane, mad as hell because she thought I'd been sneakin' off to see Ukyo an' Shampoo, sent me flyin' towards the harbor again. Only this time she hit me so hard that I somehow ended up landin' on the roof of the warehouse I'd been watchin'. Of course I ended up goin' straight through the roof, an' makin' a hole in the floor, but the main thing is what I saw before I blacked out. I saw gundams.
