ZT: Hum diddleedee, I'm bored as I can be…
Wufei: 0.o() So I noticed…
ZT: Well, now it's time for the pairs to meet. I don't own Gundam Wing. Enjoy!
Review Response:
Dark Devotions- Oh, darn! I kicked off all your other suspects! Well, she does seem like the obvious choice…for now! I loved making Allison. I just HAD to make her a little sweetheart! You'll find out why it's kinda ironic though in later chapters…or the sequel; I'm not sure when I'm gonna make them spill their pasts… I was gonna throw the girls at them all in one chapter, but I chucked that idea because it's hard to introduce five characters at once without mixing their personalities or not having Heero shoot one of 'em, namely Laury.
Fate Sucks
Chapter 9
"They knew I was looking for them, and decided to disappear!" Sai exclaimed, plopping down under a shady tree. Duo followed her example. They searched the whole campus high and low, inside, outside, and upside-down! Either her friends were invisible or they just weren't there.
"Couldn't their shuttle have been delayed?" Duo wondered aloud.
"No. They would've called if they were gonna be more than a day late," Sai answered.
The braided haired pilot let out a sigh and laid down, "Well, that's it then. They have successfully avoided the two of us."
"I thought you said the God of Death gets everyone in the end," Sai joked.
Duo looked up at her, "They're immortal."
As he looked at the now giggling Sai, something or should I say someone caught his attention. The girl was walking towards the dorms with a case in her hands. The sunlight reflected the bluish tint that was in her short black hair. Her onyx eyes seemed to be void of emotion, but Duo was oblivious to that. A bit of drool dribbled down the corner of his mouth and his eyes sparkled, "Wow…"
Sai looked at the pilot as if he had grown another head before turning around to see what he was staring at. She blinked in surprise, "Vanessa?"
"Vanessa…" Duo repeated dreamily, practically floating, "What a perfect name for a perfect girl…"
'Oh, she's a perfect somethin' alright…' Sai thought sarcastically, waving the girl over. She was a little surprised to find Heero walking with her, "So, you two've already met?"
Heero remained expressionless, while Vanessa just said "Hn."
Duo shoved Sai aside and grabbed Vanessa's hand, "Wow! Sai told me she had some pretty friends, but she didn't say she had Goddesses for friends! But I guess that just makes us a perfect match since many consider me a God! I'm Duo Maxwell and would you consider being Mrs. Maxwell- I mean going out on a date with me?"
Vanessa glared at Duo and pulled her hand away, "No."
"Great! So, how's Saturday for you?" Duo asked, completely ignoring Vanessa's comment.
Vanessa looked at Sai in disbelief, "He's Laury!"
Sai nodded, "Don't I know it…"
"So, Vanessa, do you have a last name?" Vanessa just glared at him. "Okay…How about a phone number?" Vanessa still just glared. "An e-mail address?" Same response. "Anything?"
"She's not gonna answer you," Sai stated the obvious.
"Why not?" Duo whined.
"Because of her speech problem," despite seeing Vanessa's glare that meant shut up, she continued, "Ness has a stuttering problem. She hates people hearing it."
"Aww, it can't be that bad," Duo cooed.
Vanessa gave him a death glare that made Heero raise an eyebrow, "Don't. Do that. Again."
Duo raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay. No more cooing."
"Yes, that would be a smart thing to do. Nessa is not one for nonsense." The four turned to see Allison walking up with Wufei.
Duo looked at the new girl, then Wufei, then back at the new girl, then finally grinned at Wufei, "Way to go, Wu-man! You finally got a girl!"
Allison blushed at the pilot's remark, while Wufei flushed in anger, "How many times have I told you NOT to call me that? And no, Ally's NOT my girlfriend!"
"Aww, don't say such things in front of your girlfriend," Duo said, taking Allison's hand, "I know he can be difficult at times, but he's a really good guy. You're a lucky girl to have found such a guy."
Vanessa rolled her eyes and smacked Duo upside the head, "They're not going out, d-damn it!"
"Told ya she stutters," Sai commented, earning a glare from Vanessa. She only smiled in response.
"And they are both right; I only met Wufei an hour ago. We could not possibly have become interested in each other in such a small amount of time," Allison explained, an anime sweat drop forming on the back of her head.
"That's not true," Duo corrected, "I only met Nessa a few minutes ago and we're already an item."
Vanessa tried to burn a hole through Duo with her glare, "Only my FRIENDS can c-call me 'N-Nessa'."
Wufei smirked, "Guess that just threw your little fantasy out the window."
Duo grinned his goofy grin and glomped Vanessa, "Nah! She's just a little put-offish. She's like Heero, but a girl. Thus she's my perfect counterpart."
Everybody, including Heero, got a sweat drop for that comment. Something about that comment just didn't seem right…
"Uhh, right. So, where are the other two?" Sai asked Allison and Vanessa, changing the subject.
"Alex was looking for you when I last saw her," Allison said.
"And Laury?" Sai asked. She knew Alex could take care of herself, but Laury was a different story.
"Guess," was the only word Vanessa said.
At that moment, Duo decided to look at Sai again, and literally fell over in shock. Vanessa nudged him with her foot, "He's out."
Sai blinked, "What was that about?"
"Alex." Vanessa replied, nodding towards the person coming up behind Sai.
Wufei turned around and did a double take, "Wha-?" It wasn't only the red leather clad girl that surprised him, but the fact the Trowa Barton of all people was walking with her as well! "Barton, what is that-that … THING you're walking with?" he exclaimed.
Alex raised an eyebrow at Wufei's remark, "This a friend of yours, buddy?"
"Wufei Chang," Trowa replied.
"Really?" Alex walked over to Wufei and draped an arm over his shoulder, "I thought it would've been something like 'Cutie'."
"What on earth are you-? Get off of me, woman!" Wufei exclaimed, shoving Alex's arm off.
"Aww, you're no fun!" Alex grinned in response.
Sai blinked, "Okay…" First it seemed that everyone paired up before hand, and now it seemed that the more outgoing ones were hitting on the more silent ones. Well, most of them anyway… Allison and Trowa had backed away from Wufei, Alex, Vanessa, and the revived Duo, and were discussing something about her book. Heero was just staring at the group with his unreadable expression, but she guessed he was thinking that this was just as weird and idiotic as she thought it was. All they needed now was Laury and the chaotic mess would be complete.
No sooner had the thought crossed her mind, Sai spotted something she NEVER thought she would see, "You ran into Laury, didn't you?"
All flirting and discussion stopped as all eyes turned to the new arrival. Quatre was covered from head to toe in food!
Duo's jaw dropped open, "Whoa Q-man! What happened to you?"
In answer to his question, the redhead known as Laury popped out from behind Quatre, just as messy and with a big grin on her face, "Are these your friends?" She blinked when she saw the girls.
Without a warning, she ran over and glomped the girl of a thousand faces, "Saiy!"
Sai hugged the messy girl back, but without the sugar high enthusiasm, "There you are Laury! Food crazy as ever, I see…"
Laury nodded enthusiastically, "Of course!" Then she ran over and glomped Alex, "Alex, babe!" Then she ran over to Allison and glomped her, "Ally, sweet heart!" Then she glomped Vanessa, "Nessa!"
Vanessa shoved the hyper girl off and dusted off some mashed potatoes that Laury left as a souvenir. The others did the same.
While they were doing this, Laury focused on her next…targets. She ran up to Duo, "…I don't know you." But she hugged him anyway. Then she hugged Wufei, "And I don't know you." She hugged Trowa, "Or you." She looked at Heero who had a look on his face that simply dared her to come near him. Well, Laury was never one to turn down a dare… "And I don't know you!" She hugged him before re-glomping the retreating Quatre, "Cutie Pie!"
Quatre let out a sigh of defeat. The other pilots were not exactly sure how to classify her, very brave or flat out insane! She HUGGED the perfect soldier!
Sai looked between the two groups of people. The five Gundam pilots and her friends… Sai internally sighed; boy was THIS going to be interesting!
2 love it. 1 hates it. What do you think? Review it! Till next time!
