Serena sighed. It had been a week since they had met Relena's bodyguards. It had been a busy week.
First, she had had to attend a meeting with Quatre on Colony 2.
Second, she had had to hold down the fort while all of the protectors attended a two-day meeting on Colony 4.
Third, the guys (Seyia, Sammy, Yaten, Taiki, Trieze, and Millardo) had all moved into Quatre's mansion, which all of the girls had helped with. Serena had made each of the guys promise, much to Sammy's embarrassment and irritation, that Sammy would get to school on time. They were still picking on him for her motherliness. But she was planning on getting Trieze.
Fourth, she was trying to spy on Relena whenever she could, which wasn't very often.
She sighed yet again.
Raye opened the door, bringing in the smells of take-out. Serena took a sniff, French fries and cheeseburgers. She really loved Raye at times.
"What's up?"
"Nothing. I'm so tired. This week has been absolutely evil."
Raye laughed and pulled out two cokes. "I know what you mean. You look totally stressed."
"I am totally stressed. Crap!! Oh, Raye, I'm so sorry, but I have to leave you for about twenty to thirty minutes. I promised the guys that I'd get them some Chinese while they worked on something for Trieze."
"No problem. I'll chill here. You want me to answer the phone if anyone calls?"
"Would you?"
"Sure."
"Thanks!! You're the best!" Serena said and ran out of the office.
Raye smiled and shook her head. She put their food in the microwave that was in the closet behind her so she could eat with Serena.
She sighed and pulled out a book while she set at the desk.
About five minutes later, Jedite surfaced from Relena's office, looking incredibly ticked. As soon as he saw Raye, he was happy.
"Where's Ms. Tsukino?" He asked in his deep, seductive voice.
Raye looked up and was shocked to see Jedite staring at her. "She went out to get the guys some lunch."
"Really. I'm Jed. You are?"
~Whoa.total déjà vu! This is just like that time when I first found out I was Sailor Mars.~ "I'm Raye, Serena's friend."
"Nice to meet you. Do you work here in the building?"
"No.I'm the PE teacher at Ms. Relena's school." She said, having no clue what to do at this moment.
"Really." He said, his eyes alight with pleasure.
Raye shifted uncomfortably. He was seriously freaking her out. There was something other than Nega-energy in his aura.and that was lust. She was VERY uncomfortable.
"Um.yeah."
Wufei was watching from the doorway. He had come out of the boardroom to leave. The meeting was over and the other guys were sitting in there discussing how to make nine Gundams that quick. He had a meeting on Colony 1 to attend and he had to be on the plane in an hour.
"So.I'd really like to talk to you some more. Are you free Saturday?" He asked.
"Actually, she has a date with me. We're going out." Wufei said, coming to her rescue.
Raye looked over to see Wufei standing in front of the window in the lobby. The light was hitting him just right and she swore that if he had been wearing armor, he would have been a PERFECT knight in shining armor.
Jedite stiffened at the coldness in Wufei's voice.
Wufei looked at her. "Ready to go?"
"Yeah." She said and grabbed her purse.
She walked over to him and took his hand in hers.
Wufei smiled a little, trying to make it realistic.or at least believable. (A/n: wow! Wufei Chang smiling!! That's a new one)
They walked out of the office together.
"Thanks.I didn't know what I was going to do. It was just really freaky flirting with him once he uses his powers to have a jet plane chase you around an airport." Raye said, blushing as she realized that they were still holding hands.
"Don't mention it. He's still going to go after you."
Raye sighed, depressed. "Yeah. I know."
"We could keep the act up. If you want."
"Would you do that? Please.at least until we defeat them!" She said, her eyes looking into his, full of hope and pleading, begging him to say yes.
Wufei thought for a minute, unsure of why he was doing this and unsure why he even helped out in the first place. "Yeah. I'll do it."
"THANK YOU!!" Raye said, happier than she'd been in a long time. She jumped up and kissed him on the cheek.
Serena turned the corner just in time to see the kiss. Shocked, she stopped right where she was.
"There's Serena. I know you have a meeting and I'm sorry I've kept you. Ja ne!!" Raye said and rushed off to help and talk to Serena.
"What was that?" Serena asked when Raye got up to her.
"Jedite started to flirt with me and asked me to go on a date with him when Wufei lied and said that we were going out.I guess he could tell that I needed rescuing. Anyway, we've struck up a deal that we're going to pretend to go out until we defeat Jedite.because I know we will." Raye said hurriedly and took some of the sacks from Serena.
"I'm guessing that you two acted like you were leaving on a lunch date.That means.I GET TO LEAVE THE OFFICE FOR LUNCH!!! Thank you Raye, Wufei.and in a weird way, Jedite!!" Serena said, happy that she got to have a break from the office for a little while.
Raye let out a laugh at her friend's joy.
Wufei, who had already begun to walk the other way, turned slightly as he heard her tinkling laughter. It reminded him of Chinese wind chimes in a cool summer breeze, like the kind that his Grandmother had before he was taken away to become a pilot.
Something stirred inside of him, but he shook it off and continued walking towards his car. He had forty-five minutes until his plane would take off and he didn't even have his things.

TBC.this was a really short chapter, but I like it none-the-less. Well, you guys still need to vote on Seyia's chick. I'm really trying to get some of the romances done so I can move on in the story!! Also, if you would like to see a sequel (though I'm far from finished on this one and I won't start the other until I'm finished) please tell me.
