ZT: Okay, can we say "Revenge is sweet"?
Trowa: (Smirks) I can.
ZT: I thought so. I don't own Gundam Wing. Enjoy!
Review Responses:
Dark Devotions- Nope, not Marimea. And chickens have pick pocketed since Laury started teaching them to. Thanks for the compliment on the story. I dunno why I have so few reviewers…maybe I need a better summary…either that or people are review shy (hit count for this story reads 1662 right now…).
Calli Maxwell- (Heero: (growls and points gun at Calli Maxwell)) (ZT: Heero, I swear if you shoot one of my few reviewers, I will write you the most slow, agonizing death I can imagine and it will involve failing a mission and Relena!) (Heero: 0.o NO! (puts gun away in a heart beat)) (ZT: That's what I thought.) Hmm… I don't know… he threatened you but he did put away the gun… should he get a star?
Scholar Bruin- Thanks, here's the next chapter.
Fate Sucks
Chapter 25
Ah! It was such a beautiful morning. The sun was shining. The temperature was perfect. The flowers seemed to be singing in the peace that was being radiated…
"YEEEEEK!" Then it all came crashing down. "DUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOO!"
Nine people came running outside as they heard the screech. Once what they saw what all the commotion was about, it took all they had not to laugh. Hanging up in the high branch of a tree was a mobile made of many various alcohol bottles. There was a little music box at the top chiming "99 bottles of beer on the wall". And hanging from the center of the mobile in a costume shaped like a beer bottle was none other than Laury.
"DUO I KNOW YOU DID THIS! LET ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!" she screeched, trying to brake free but only succeeding in spinning the mobile more.
"I think it's a nice look for you," Vanessa commented with a smirk.
"Yeah, we warned you Laury: You are what you eat-err- drink! Now you're one with alcohol!" Alex added.
Duo tried not to laugh, "Laury, I didn't do that."
"That's right; he was too busy chasing down Bobo with me and Ness to do anything," Sai said in Duo's defense.
"Oh sure! I bet you two were working TOGETHER in this!" Laury accused the blond, who burst out in laughter. "Don't you laugh! GET ME DOWN NOW!" she screamed angrily.
The group looked up at her in complete silence, then at each other. Alex clasped her hands together, "So…whose hungry?"
There were various "I am"s as the group walked back inside, suggesting different foods to have for breakfast, and leaving Laury in the tree.
"That's it! YOU GUYS ARE SO DEAD WHEN I GET DOWN! I'LL FIND OUT WHO PUT ME UP HERE JUST YOU WATCH!" Laury screamed after them.
Allison sat eating some toast and drinking some tea when Sai sat next to her on the large couch.
"Hanging Laury up in a tree…I bet you and Trowa had a lot of fun with that one…" she said with a knowing smirk.
"I truly cannot say that I am surprised that you found out who it was," Allison replied, sipping her tea.
"I know. However I don't think you'd say the same if I said I know why I couldn't find you and Trowa a few nights ago," Sai grinned as Allison put her tea down and gave the blond her full attention. Sai leaned in close, "So? How was the lip lock?"
Allison blushed, "I-I have no idea what you are talking about."
"Oh, come on! You know you can't lie worth crap, so don't try! I saw you and Trowa making out like it was nobody's business when I was checking on everyone," Sai smirked.
Allison blushed redder, "…Who else knows?"
The blond shrugged, "I dunno. Some of the girls may've figured it out. The guys…maybe Duo or Quatre…Heero and Wufei are a definite no."
"Why do you say that?" the brunette questioned curiously.
Sai laughed, "Are you kidding? Wufei's been WAY too busy with nagging Alex to even figure out HE likes HER back! Do you think he has time to notice that there's something going on between you two?"
Allison chuckled, "True enough. And Heero?"
"The guy's too predictable. He's more into work than play. I don't think he even knows how to FEEL that kind of passion, let alone notice it!" Sai replied.
"Like someone I know…" Allison looked at her blond friend, now with serious eyes, "Do they know?"
"I was leaving that up to you," Sai answered, clasping her hands on the table, "The past is the past; if you want to tell them, it's up to you." She looked her brunette friend dead in the eyes, "However, if I were you, I would tell Trowa at least, especially if you want a strong relationship with him."
Allison looked down, "…I cannot say for the others, but I shall tell Trowa…sooner or later."
'Well, that's better than never…' Sai thought. She opened her mouth to speak again just as the door flew open. Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Duo, Alex, and Vanessa came flying in with a screaming Laury (still in the beer bottle costume) at their backs.
"ALLISON! YOU'RE GONNA DIE! DID YOU HONESTLY THINK I WOULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHO STUCK ME UP THERE? WHO ELSE HAS THIS PATHETIC STICKY GUNK?"
"Then why are you still chasing us?" Duo whined, shielding his head.
"YOU didn't save me when I needed saving! You need punishment just as bad as they do!" she yelled back at him.
Sai looked at Allison, "You put that glue crap in that costume, didn't you?"
"It was the only way to keep her in the costume; it has no bottom piece," Allison explained.
Sai nodded, "I would suggest running." Allison took that suggestion to heart and took off. Sai watched as Laury chased the group around the room a few times before Allison led the group out. Sai stood up with Allison's forgotten tea cup and headed towards the kitchen, "Heero, close the door, would you? It's too tempting for them to run back in here if the door's open."
She grinned as she heard the door close. She didn't need to turn around to know that Heero had a look of sheer annoyance on his face!
"How did you know that I was here?" he asked. Yep, he was annoyed.
Sai shrugged as she quickly cleaned the cup and put it away. "Like I've said, you're too predictable." She walked past him and towards her room, "For example, you came during the commotion to ask how I'm doing with cracking that disk so that you don't need to worry about one of the others spotting you here and asking you why you're here, thus having to either lie or explain how a little code was too hard for the perfect soldier to handle, thus marring your flawless record of perfection."
Heero inwardly groaned; she nailed it! He WAS too predictable! "You're wrong; that's not why I'm here," he quickly lied.
Sai turned around to face him; she saw straight through his little lie. "Oh? Then why are you here?" she asked innocently.
Heero's mind raced for an answer. 'Think think! Something unpredictable! What would be a reason to be here that would be completely unlike me? Something drastic! Pulling a gun on her? No, definitely a me thing. Just here to watch the others suffer? No, she'd see through that. Just came to talk? …Not like me but it's an obvious excuse…'
Sai watched Heero with mild amusement as he tried to think of an excuse for being there. She clasped her hands together, making a clapping sound, "Okay, well while you think of an excuse, I'll be saving our friends from the giant beer bottle." She headed towards the bedroom door, "I haven't finished hacking into that disk yet, but if you want to take a whack at it-" She stopped short as the door slammed shut before she could walk out of the room.
"To hell with the disk," Sai gasped in surprise as she was suddenly spun around. Before she could recover, Heero's lips crashed down on her own.
'WHAT THE HELL?' Sai's mind screamed.
'Expecting that?' Heero inwardly smirked. After a few brief moments, Heero tried to pull away. To his surprise, his body wouldn't obey; rather it urged him to hold her closer. 'What the hell? I'm done you darn body! Stop kissing so I can speak out!' his mind commanded. Heero could have sworn he heard some inner voice say "To hell with what you want!" before his mind was kicked to the curb and only passion remained.
Sai was in no better of a situation. While her mind screamed to kick him in the right area and send him crawling back to his dorm, another part was coaxing her to go right along with it, 'Aw, c'mon. You know you think he's adorable! And he came onto you! You've done nothing wrong.' Her mind screamed back, 'Except for the part that I'm making out with a FRIEND!' 'Aw, shut up ya party pooper!' her passion ordered and took over from there.
'She's a mission!' Heero's mind tried to get through.
'I'm a mission to him!' Sai's mind screamed.
'I can't let my feelings get in the way!' he pushed.
'I can't let my love life get in the way,' she scolded.
'I have a job to do,' he reminded himself.
'He wants to know about Night Star!' she argued.
'As far as I should be concerned…' he thought.
'…He's just another obstacle,' she thought.
'Making this whole thing wrong!' Both of their consciousnesses came back at the same instant. They both tried hard not to blush as they found that they were both on the foot of Sai's bed, Heero over Sai. Heero's shirt was lying on the ground and a few of the buttons on Sai's shirt were undone.
Heero immediately stood up, turned around,and threw on his shirt. Without turning around and making his voice sound perfectly calm, he said, "You may want to watch out; I think Laury's spiking drinks again."
Sai nodded numbly, her face a bright shade of pink. She knew that that was just an excuse Heero was using for losing control of himself like that… As Heero left the room, she flopped back down on the bed and looked at the ceiling, "Why did I lose control like that?"
Heero shut the door to his dorm and leaned against it, "Why did I lose control like that?"
8 love it. 1 hates it. What do you think? Review it! Till next time!
