ZT: Okay, now that I have thoroughly confused you people by throwing Milliardo in the mix (or maybe just confused myself) here's another chapter. I don't own Gundam Wing. Enjoy!

Dark Devotions: Heh heh… I know I'm evil.

Fate Sucks

Chapter 14

"AAAAHHHHH!" Alex, Vanessa, and Laury looked up as Duo ran over to them screaming bloody murder. There was a reason for his screaming, too. Wufei was still chasing him! He ran behind Vanessa, "Save me Nessa!"

Vanessa glared at him, "Don't c-call me Nessa!"

"Aw! But we do and you don't mind!" Laury pointed out, glomping her dark haired friend.

Wufei glared at the hiding pilot, "Maxwell, only a coward would hide behind a woman for protection!"

"Nessa will protect me. After all, she's in love with me!" Duo grinned.

Alex put her arms behind her head and leaned against the wall of the school, "Sure she's in love with you. In love with the thought of strangling you."

"That's not nice to say!" Laury pointed out.

"Well, it's true!" Alex replied, turning to Duo, "Hate to break it to ya, Romeo, but of all the girls you chose to fall for, you fell for the most hard core one of all! This ain't Juliet!"

"I've already found MY Romeo!" Laury exclaimed, going into dreamy girl mode, "Quatre…"

"I'm surprised he hasn't called the cops on you for harassment!" Alex sighed.

"He has much…patience with people," Wufei explained, calming down from his earlier rage.

Alex shrugged, "So, Wufy, you and Sai find anything good?"

"'Wufy'? That's a good one! I'll have to remember that!" Duo exclaimed.

"No way! That's MY nickname for him, Romeo. You get your own nickname!" Alex poked Duo in the chest.

"My name is NOT Wufy! Don't even THINK of calling me that!" Wufei growled menacingly.

"But it's such a cute name!" Laury gushed. "It sounds like it should belong to a puppy dog!"

"That's right! It's such a cute name… it fits you perfectly," Alex pointed out.

"I'm not a PUPPY DOG!" Wufei screamed, blowing Alex's hair back with the force.

Alex cringed, "Ew! Dog breath!" She whipped out some breath mints and tossed them into Wufei's open mouth.

Wufei had not been expecting the mint attack, let alone for Alex's mints to be THAT strong! He spit out most of them, but made the mistake of swallowing one. He coughed a little because of the overly strong taste.

Duo whacked his friend on the back a few times while Laury randomly whipped out a can of beer, "Here! This'll wash it down!"

Wufei glared at the red-head, "W-woman! I would not even THINK of drinking thatstuff if it was my only chance at survival!"

Laury shrugged and downed the can in one gulp, "Tastes pretty good to me." She pulled out another can.

Alex took it from Laury in disgust, "How many times have I told you not to drink that crap?"

"But it's so yummy!" Laury whined, trying to get the can back from Alex who was keeping it well out of reach.

Vanessa rolled her eyes at Laury's stupidity before offering Wufei a bottle of water. This he readily took, and drank three large gulps to do away with the taste. He handed it back to her but she shook her head, "Keep it."

"Aww! See how sweet she is!" Duo gushed, draping an arm over Vanessa, "Now you see why I love this girl so much! She's compassionate, sweet, gentle, wouldn't hurt a- ACK!" Vanessa couldn't take it any more. She grabbed Duo's arm and flipped him over her shoulder before walking off.

"And can kick anyone's butt if she wanted to," Alex grinned, finishing Duo's little speech for him.

"Who taught her THAT?" Duo asked, sitting up and rubbing the back of his neck.

"That one… I think Sai taught her," Alex said, still keeping the can from Laury.

Duo couldn't help but blink at the comment, "Sai knows how to do that?"

"Yeah, she knows a bunch about self-defense," Laury explained, her eyes still glued on the bottle, "But then again, so do we; it's how we keep in shape: doing self-defense classes."

Alex rolled her eyes, "Correction, the four of YOU do that to keep in shape! I do my own thing!" With that, she twisted away from Laury and made a beeline for a nearby drinking fountain.

Laury's eyes went wide as she gave chase, "No! That's my last beer!"

"I know, I've been keeping track!" Alex yelled over her shoulder, popping open the can in the process.

"Don't you dare, Alexandra!" Laury warned, picking up her pace.

"Oh, and what'll you do about it, Laura?" Alex asked, getting to the drinking fountain and pouring the beer down the drain.

"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!" Laury lunged toward the fountain, but all the beer had already gone down the drain.

"You'll thank me in the long run," Alex said.

"No fair!" Laury sniffled, "You drink, too!"

"But not excessively like you do," Alex pointed out. "I wouldn't pull stunts like this if you had a drink every once in a while. But you drink during breakfast, during lunch, during dinner, during your snack time, during desert, and pretty much every time you get thirsty! Girl, you must have more alcohol running through your veins than actual blood! That CAN'T be good!"

"Hmph!" was Laury's reply.

Wufei and Duo watched the whole scenario with interest. Alex was most definitely a good athlete what with those moves to keep Laury at bay and how fast she could run. She also seemed to have her own style of getting things done… As for Laury, she could drink that much and stay sober? She could definitely fight off certain drugs that were used in the war! Not to mention she was fast and stubborn… They BOTH had qualities that could pass them off as soldiers. And Duo and Wufei thought they might know why… Well, why at least one of them did anyway…

"Uh, hey girls, we gotta get goin' see ya at the party in a few days, if not sooner!" Duo waved at them before walking off with Wufei.

When they were out of hearing distance, Wufei rubbed his temples, "And here I was leaving them right off the list of suspects…"

"They have strong qualities that point to them as being mercenaries. Not to mention they knew Sai during the war," Duo agreed. "Now the question is, which one is it?"

"I'll keep an eye on Alex; you watch Laury," Wufei ordered. "Who would've thought that Night Star is a woman?"

3love it. 1 hates it. What do you think? Review it! Till next time!
