Chapter 6
3 weeks later, Melody was sitting on the window seat of the observation deck looking out at the stars. She felt as if someone else was in the room with her. She wondered who it was but decided to ignore them.
10 minutes past then 20 and it was going on 30 when she finally got sick of waiting.
"Is there something I can do for you?"
"No I'm good thanks." answered the man standing behind her.
"You're being unnaturally quite, Mr. Maxwell."
"How in the…" he stammered "how do you know who I am?"
"Duo Maxwell, 5 feet 2 inches tall, 95 lbs even tow you eat almost nothing but junk food, cobalt blue eyes, chestnut brown hair, pilot of the 02 Gundam, best known for being loud and annoying and for your infamous braded."
"I see someone has done their homework."
"Also known to go around in a preachers outfit, but rarely acts like a preacher"
"I really need to update my profile."
"So what can I do for you 'Father Shimigami" she smirked as she turned to look at him for the first time.
I just wanted to induce myself and see if you would like to join Gundam inc. for dinner,"
"On the base?"
"Hell no, the food on this base suck."
"Sounds like." She smirked "where are we going?"
"Not a clue, some pansy ass joint that Lena picked out on the colony." He relied as he turned to go. "Be ready by 1800 and I'll send someone to come and get you." With that he was gone leaving Melody to wonder where in the hell was she going to fine a nice outfit on a military base.
James was sent to get Melody at 5:50. They where so post to met Duo in the parking lot at 6:00. Scott was standing with his mom and grandmother when he saw James heading there way.
"Hey man, where is Mel?" Scott called
"She'll be here in a minute. She is waiting on our grandpa."
Just then Quatre came out of the building with the most beautiful girl. She had on a pastel green tank summer dress with a shear cover and matching shoes. Her hair was pilled slightly on top of her head with green and white flowers in her hair. She looked very elegant and grown up yet she still had a young air to her.
"Whoa, who is that?" ask Scott. James reached over and slugged him lightly in the face.
"Hey, stop drooling over my sister."
"Hey guys." Melody said when she reached them.
"Wow… I told you that you would look nice." Helen said
"I could do with out the flowers, I think." Melody mumbled
"Ok, everyone is here so let's roll." Dou yelled when he saw Quatre and Melody. Everyone pilled in to three limos, Melody saw that Jasmine, Joel Taylor, Tia, and some other people she didn't know where riding in the one that she climbed in to.
"Everyone I would like to intrados to you my granddaughter." Quatre said in a very formal voice. Taking that as a sign and already knowing what was expected of her.
"It is an honor to meet you all. My name is Melody Rose Winner." Melody bowed her head as she formally intradoses herself to the people in their limo.
"Hey, as you know already I am Jasmine, will this is my husband Seth and son Taylor."
"I am Joel Chang and this is my family Elizabeth and Tia."
"Ahm" Wufei cleared his throat
"This is mine and Joel's mother and father, Sally and Wufei Chang" Jasmine smiled at her father as she spoke.
"Injustices put in me after a women." Wufei mumbled to himself.
On the ride to dinner Quatre and Sally talked about anything and everything that came to mind, while Jasmine and Elizabeth gossiped about the latest fashions. Other than them no one else said a word.
Scott got stuck riding with Duo and Heero; he was hoping to get to talk to Melody. Instead he got to listen to Heero, Duo and Zechs argue over something but he had no clue as to what it was. He didn't think anyone else in the limo knew either. When they all arrived at the restaurant Melody introduced to the others.
"Everyone I would like to intrados to you my granddaughter." Quatre said in a very formal voice again.
"Hn" Heero glanced over at her and then back to his menu.
"Hello, my name is Relena Yuy and this is my husband Heero." Relena said as she kicked Heero under the table.
"Mel, hey, this is my wife Brittney Yuy and our daughter Nicole." Jason waved. Nicole just stared at Melody and said nothing.
"Hilde Maxwell"
"Hey girl, this is my husband John and our son Scott Brown." Helen smiled
"Hi I'm Noin and this is Zechs"
"It is an honor to meet you all. My name is Melody Rose Winner." Melody bowed her head as she formally intradoses herself to the people that set around the table. Scott thought he saw her eyes cloud over but it was gone so fast he wasn't sure if he had truly seen it.
"What's wrong?" he whispered in her ear.
"I hate saying my whole name like that its so annoying."
"Why do you do it then, if you don't like too?"
"Because it makes my grandfather happy when we intrudes our self's properly."
"Oh"
Melody looked across the table and saw that Nicole was still glaring at her.
"Is there something I can do for you, Miss Nicole?" Melody asks returning the other girls glare with a honey sweet smile. Nicole lunged at Melody across the table causing Melody to jump back out of the way just as Jason grabbed holed of his daughter.
"Hey, cool the jets!" He said as he held her around the waist pinning her arms to her sides.
"What is your problem?" Melody asks "all I did was asks what you wanted." Heero stepped between the two girls and looked at his granddaughter.
"Calm down now" He touched her shoulder and she calmed down instantly at the sound of his tone.
"Gomen, Ojiisan." She whispered, she then returned to her seat.
After that the evening went pretty well, tow Melody never did find out what had pissed the Yuy girl off.
Gomen, Ojiisan Sorry, grandfather
