Part II (Revised)
Wufei looked by the window. They were flying above the heavy grey clouds. The sky was ink black and the stars shinning bright since it was new moon. He sighed, closing his eyes hoping he would fall asleep soon. They were the only ones in first class, except from a big businessman and his wife who were already sleeping silently. The only thing he could hear was the noisy breathing of his partner. He opened his eyes. Sally was sitting next to him, asleep. She still had her earphones on, holding her Discman in her sleepy hand. Wufei could still hear the jazzy music playing. Carefully, he stopped it and removed the earphones from Sally ears, taking the Discman away. She groaned a bit, but didn't wake up. Wufei sighed again, returning to the window, still wondering what he was doing here.
It was five when Sally dropped in his office. Even though she seemed serious, Wufei couldn't help it and laughed at he funny way she looked. Sally waited for him to calm down, with a fed up look on her face. Wufei noticed she wasn't reacting as usual, screaming and raging.
"What is it, Woman?" He asked, putting abstractedly order in his documents.
Sally sat down in front of him and put an airplane ticket on the desk. Then she sighed.
"The flight is at 11:30 tonight, I couldn't get better. Prepare your luggage and be ready at ten, the taxi will pick you up. We're leaving for a week, or so…" She ended, getting up.
"Hey! Woman, wait a second! Where are we going?»
"China."
"Is it for the job?»
"No." She answered, flatly.
"Woman, this isn't the time for vacation! Even though you're sick, you can't miss tomorrow's meeting. Take back your ticket, Woman. I can't afford to leave at such an important moment." He declared, holding her back the ticket. "On second thought, even if I could, I wouldn't take a plane with you. Considering the day you had, the plane might just crash!"
Without minding him, she walked to the door, trembling. She slowly closed it, facing it a moment. Her hands were shaking on the doorknob.
"What is it now, Woman! You're crying?" He asked, snorting. "Women are so weak…"
Suddenly Sally turned and started walking toward Wufei, stomping. Her hands were clenched in shaking fists. She stopped in front of Wufei.
"DAMN IT WUFEI! MY FATHER JUST DIED!" She shouted. "IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK YOU TO ACCOMPANY ME!"
Wufei stared at her, his mouth opened. He was prepared to everything, except to that.
"I didn't know you still had relatives." He said to Sally who stood there, fighting against herself not to break down and cry.
"Well, I do." She replied taking a seat. "I can't go there alone because…" She looked away, and then came back to Wufei. Her eyes crossed his. They stared at each other a moment. Wufei felt pretty strange inside. It was as if his heart was melting. The magic came to an end when Sally suddenly sneezed all over Wufei's desk. He got up, disgusted.
"Woman! This is so gross! You disgust me!" He grimaced.
Sally was leaning on the desk, her head in her arms. Her shoulders were going up and down silently in little spasms.
"Hey! Woman! Are you crying?" Wufei asked for the second time.
Sally answered with a little giggle. Then, she raised he head, laughing hysterically. Tears began to roll on her cheeks as she restarted to laugh silently, her mouth wide open. Then she bent, holding her aching sides making noise again. Wufei sighed and started to wipe his desk, and papers, and computer… By the time he was done, Sally had calm down a bit, even though she was still giggling from time to time.
"I'm sorry" She finally articulated, starting to laugh again at the idea.
Wufei snorted and sat down.
"Ok. Lets pretend I say yes and actually come with you. Who's going to attend at the reunion?" He asked.
Sally cleared her throat, a large smile on her face.
"No one there is no meeting tomorrow."
"Why?" Asked Wufei, taken aback.
"The representative of the West division called Noin to ask her if they could report the meeting to next Friday." She responded getting up and preparing herself to leave.
"Why?»
"Mortality. His wife just died." Answered Sally with a sigh. She glanced at Wufei. "So, do I count you in?"
"Well, since there's no meeting, I don't see why I'd say no. It's been a while since I've returned to China, so…"
Sally gave him a thankful smile then turned around, heading for the door.
"Be ready at ten. I'll pick you up with the taxi."
"Woman, since when do you order me around?" Wufei asked.
Sally stopped and looked over her shoulder. Wufei was smiling, gently.
"Oh! By the way, bring Chinese traditional clothing"
That was the last thing she said. Wufei would have wished for more explanations, but when he met Sally, at ten, she was under the effects of medicine and could hardly stay awake. It took her several minutes to get the things fixed at the airport and Wufei had to help her to make their licence for carrying weapons being accepted. Since Sally looked totally drunk, they had quite a hard time. Hopefully, they made it in time for the flight. Again, Wufei missed his chance to interrogate Sally since she fell in a deep sleep as soon as she sat. He doubted that she had taken a flu medicine. She looked like she had taken sleep pills or a tranquilliser, a strong one. Anyway, he would have to ask her why she asked him to come. He was always treating her rudely, he could not figure why she had asked him. She could have asked Noin or Even Lady Une, but she chose him. Why?
Wufei looked at Sally. She was lovely in her sleep, wearing this black satin Chinese dress, her golden hair twisted in a nice chignon. He looked at her visage. There was still that huge blue bump on her pale forehead. She had dark shadows under her eyes. "She sure had a hard day" He thought. "She looks as if someone had beaten her bad." Wufei yawned. Then, after giving the night a last glance, he put the earphones in his ears, pressed play and closed his eyes. "Not too bad, Woman. You have good tastes in music" He murmured. Soon, he fell asleep.
