ZT: Okay… I'm still wiped out from explaining fireworks to the guys... So I don't own Gundam Wing. Enjoy!

Review Response-

Dark Devotions: Well, ya know what they say: Expect the unexpected. But I can see what you mean with the whole laughing to death with it being Relina; she is definitely NOT fighting material. But then again, she did shoot off Une's rose pretty darn good in the series… (grins) Saying no more.

Fate Sucks

Chapter 7

"Sorry, I haven't."

Quatre sighed and thanked the student anyway. He was helping Sai and Duo look for the missing friends, but he was having about as much luck as they were (Translated: none!). He felt kind of bad… Not only had he found no clue as to where Sai's friends were, but the empathy could feel just how torn up she was inside because of it. He guessed that these friends meant a lot to her, like a second family. Shoot, this is right after the war; they could've been her ONLY family!

With that thought in mind, the blond pilot restarted his search. He had checked pretty much every place in the school, so this was going to be his second round... and the first stop was the cafeteria.

Actually, Quatre thought that it should be called the free café rather than a cafeteria. There were menus, decent meals made by gourmet chefs, fine draperies and carpet. It looked more like a five star restaurant than a cafeteria. Well, on most days at least.

As Quatre walked into the cafeteria, he immediately had to duck to avoid being hit by a flying ball of mashed potatoes. He took one glance around and knew he did not want to be there at the moment. A food fight was going on, and a big one at that. He almost found it ironic that these nicely dressed, sophisticated students would play with their food in such a childish manner.

He was about to leave when someone caught his attention. In the middle of the cafeteria was a girl about his age with auburn hair and green eyes. Quatre had a suspicion that this was one of the friends that Sai was talking about; he could just see this laughing girl hanging out with the thousand faces, lips are sealed, assistant. Trying as hard as possible not to get hit by flying food, Quatre made his way to the red head.

Just as he was close enough to shout out to her, the blond pilot felt something go splat on his back. He turned around to find some fettuccini Alfredo on the ground behind him. Now, usually Quatre was the kind, peaceful negotiator out of the pilots, but even Treize would snap if someone beaned his dark uniform with a ball of white sauce.

Quatre spotted the kid throwing the Alfredo, picked up a biscuit doused in gravy, and let it fly. Being a Gundam pilot meant that the blond Arabian had pretty darn good aim, and the biscuit hit the kid in the center of his vest. However, while Quatre was admiring his work, an entourage of macaroni and cheese, mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes, gravy, various meats, mixed fruits, and various styles of cooked beans came his way. He ducked, but still got hit by a few things, leaving colorful stains on his jacket and food in his hair.

Despite the fact that he wanted to get to the girl, he was really not one for food fights. He made a mad dash for the door; he would wait for her outside. Quatre was covered in food by the time he got to the door. He threw it open and ran out into the corridor. He turned around to shut the door.

"INCOMING!"

Quatre had barely any time to register what was happening before someone ran headlong into him, knocking him off his feet a skidding across the floor a little. The pilot grimaced; whatever part of him was clean before was dirty now…

The girl who ran into him groaned and rubbed her head, not bothering to get off him, "Whoa mister, was that your chest or an armored plate?"

Quatre blushed. Then he noticed that the girl who ran into him was the girl he was trying to reach. He cleared his throat, "Uh, excuse me, but do you happen to know Miss SaiMoonblaze? She's looking for some friends of her and I'm supposed to be giving her a hand."

"Oh, yeah! Sai and me go WAY back!" the girl said, not looking up. She was inspecting his chest because she didn't think someone could naturally have that hard of a chest. Had she looked up, she would have seen Quatre blushing like mad. After deciding that there was no possible way that anything was under that shirt other that perfectly toned muscles, she spoke, "I'm Laury-" she looked up at Quatre's face and stopped short. She was absolutely silent for a couple seconds before saying as if it were a fact, "And you're mine."

Quatre blinked, "Excuse me."

"You're mine; no other girl can claim you. You're my guy," Laury stated.

Quatre was speechless. Here was this girl, on top of him, that had basically just staked him as her territory. To say the least, Quatre had no clue how to react.

"Uh, w-why don't we go find Miss Sai? She's worried about where you are…" Quatre managed to spit out once he found his voice again.

Laury blinked and jumped up, "Well? C'mon then! I haven't seen Sai in a few weeks! Let's go get her!"

As Quatre got up, Laury latched herself to his arm. She beamed, "This is so cool! I'm being escorted around by my one true love!"

Quatre did not even try to withhold a sigh; something told him that this day had just begun…
