Chapter 4 The Meeting

The GW boys shield their eyes as they walk out into a brand new day. They start walking down the street

famous pick going up the stairs until they come close to the mall entrance. Duo is skipping and dragging

Quatre along with him while the others do their usual strides.

Duo: Hurry up you guys!

Heero: Sorry we aren't as enthusiastic...

Duo: Hummphh...

Two minutes later.

Duo: You know what I should also get?

Wu Fei: We're just dying to know, Maxwell.

Quatre:: eyes widen: What? WHAT?

Duo: TOYS!

Heero: Figures...

Duo: Exactly, we should get lil gundam figures and us figures, too. It would be soooo fun! We could have

lil wars... : goes off to dreamland:

Trowa: I guess...

Wu Fei: Maxwell you must realize that we would all kick your ass if you tried. : glances to the left: Yes,

even Quatre. : Quatre immediately looks down at the ground, eyes dilating:

Duo: No you wouldn't. At least you wouldn't. : still walking forward in front of the others occasionally

looking back to see Wu Fei's face:

Wu Fei: Yeah, sure.

Quatre: Maybe we should split up or something and then come back together when we've gotten our

personal items like my tea leaves.

Heero: --and my shorts.

Duo: --and my blender.

Wu Fei: --KNIVES... that's what I need... knives... : throws a glance in Duo's direction:

Duo: Oh man Wu -Man is gettin crazy.

Wu Fei: Same to you.

The boys enter the mall and get there at 6:47 am.

Duo: Yey. We're finally here!

Wu Fei: so incredibly happy...

Duo: Do you know that you Wu-Man are a very negative person? I guess you would know that already but

that whatever...

The gundam pilots continue their walk in the unusually crowded mall.

Trowa: I'm surprised the mall is already packed only nineteen minutes after opening. Amazing...

Heero suddenly stops walking and freezes as the other pilots pass him and notice him so they stop.

Quatre: What's wrong Heero:: looking concerned but not looking ahead of him:

Heero continues to stare straight ahead when a shrill voice fills the area.

: HEERO-KUN!

Heero: Oh shit...

A young girl in a frilly pink dress comes running at him and quickly embraces him.

Wu Fei: Why are they always everywhere we go?

Duo:: adjusting his collar: They just can't get enough of us.

Sally: How are you boys?

Wu Fei: So very happy and joyful.

Sally: That's good. : uneasy smile:

Dorothy: Miss Relena when will we be going to that store you wanted to go to so badly?

Relena:: she is still fastened to Heero who looks like a very scared kitten: Oh the GAP:: she has

recently been introduced to the world of fashion after the war but is not ready to accept it: Very soon. I'm

just saying hello to Heero : smiles:

Hilde: What are you guys here for?

Heero: Duo wants a blender; Wu Fei wants a some sharp objects; Quatre wants more tea; Trowa wants

more gel; and I want some new shor- : realizing his mistake:

Relena: Shorts? Well Heero we can go to the GAP together to find you a pair. Hee, hee.

Heero:: tragic thoughts fill his mind: ummm...actually GAP wouldn't be selling anything I would want

to wear. Sorry can't go. : turns around quickly and escapes her grasp and cowers behind Trowa:

Une: Did anyone here see any photo places?

Duo: I think there is one a lil ways up. Why?

Une:: looks down at the floor: Just Treize memories...

Wu Fei: How sad. : grimaces: Why do you want photo frames anyway? Do you think he's dead or

something:: everyone stares at him: What?

Heero: Nevermind, Wu Fei, nevermind.

Relena: Well why won't we split up into groups.

Wu Fei:: mutters: She has the same mind as Quatre... : Quatre glances towards Wu fei then looks back

at the ground:

Relena: Hilde, Duo, Quatre, Une, and Dorothy can be Team number one and then Trowa, Cathy, Wu

Fei, and Sally can be Team number two. Then Hee-chan and myself can be Team number three.

Heero:: suddenly gasps: Bad idea.

Wu Fei:: grins: Oh, I think it's great. You know Heero you should spend more time with your girlfriend.

Long distant relationships don't always work out.

Heero:: blushes: She is NOT my girlfriend Wu-Fei. She never was and never will be. : Relena tries to

hide tears and sucks them back in:

Duo: Well let's get going Heero. Don't want to be late for the super sale on spandex at Danceskin.

Hee, hee

Heero: Omae o koroso.

Just then we see Noin and Zechs walk in the opposite door across from Macy's.

Heero: ZECHS:: runs towards him:: whispers: Zechs, will you please come with me?

Mili: Where to?

Quatre:: softly: outerspace...

Heero:: glances towards Quatre: No : turns back to Mili: Relena is acting crazy again. Please come

with me ... and Relena and shop with us. Please, I can't go alone with her. I'll go completely insane!

Mili: I know exactly what you mean--

Noin: Hi Heero!

Heero: ano... hi... : looks frightened of the brown haired girl beside her and turns around to Mili again:

Zechs, I know you and I never got along that well even after that last war but I think we both are trying to

get away from two obsessive followers if you know what I mean...

Mili: Yes, Heero. I know exactly what you mean. I was going to ask you the same question but you were

talking so fast I couldn't say anything. : glances toward Noin as she chats with Lady Une: She NEVER let's

me be : looks back at Heero: NEVER!

Heero: I know what you mean.

Relena: Come on Heero, gotta find those shorts.

Mili: Before you leave Relena, Heero and I have been talking and we thought that Noin and myself

could perhaps join you.

Noin: Gomen, Zechs but we can't. : Mili looks frightened like Heero did a few seconds earlier:

Mili: --and why?

Noin: --because they're going clothes shopping and we are going houseware shopping!

Heero: Are you living with her?

Mili:: says quietly: It wasn't my choice. I told you I never could escape. It's like she has a video camera

on me all the time and knows exactly where I am every second. : looks back at Noin: Please Lucrezia.

Can we please go with Heero and Relena?

Noin: We can't I'm sorry and saying my first name won't work.

Mili: onegai?

Noin: I said no Zechs.

Mili: I'll let you play with my hair again:: forces a smile:

Noin:: lights up: OKAY!

Mili: Thank the Lord.

Heero: God bless you Zechs Merquise...

Mili: Anata too Yuy...

Relena: Well let's get moving. : looks a little glum:

Duo: Meet you guys later.

Sally: When and where should we meet?

Noin: What about lunchtime? Like noonish?

Duo: --and we can go to McDonald's!

Relena: OK see you guys later!

The GW guys and girls separate and go off into their groups moving in different directions.
