Chapter 2: Arguments and Feelings
"Duo?" Hilde asked, and glared as her step brother merely rolled over, grumbling.
"Duo! We're going to be late!" More grumbling. "Hmm…" Hilde smirked and leaned over by the braided teens ear. "OH MY GOD! HEERO'S SITTING ON OUR COUCH, SHIRTLESS!"
Violet eyes snapped open immediately as Duo shot up, "What! Where!" He blinked in confusion as Hilde burst into laughter. His eyes narrowed as realization dawned on him, and he blushed. "Oh you whore."
Clutching her stomach the blunette wiped some tears from her eyes. "My dear, sweet Aniki, the look on your face was priceless!" her expression become suddenly serious, "And you need to hurry up! We've only got a half an hour before Une sends Heero and Noin on us!" She smirked again, "And I know YOU would love that, but I don't exactly feel like getting in a fight with her this early!"
Duo flushed again slightly, but hid it as he ran for the shower. "Whatever. He only wishes I wanted him around."
Hilde shook her head and sighed, though her smirk still remained. "He is SO blind"
(AN: She should speak for herself!)
------------------------------------
"Troooowa!" Cat complained (AN: I'm using Cat now because Catherine is getting to long!) as they waited in the lounge of Death Wish's studio. "No one's even coming for another half and hour! Why did we come so early!"
The uni-banged teen raised a brow at his older sister, "As I recall, YOU were the one who was so adamant to get us here on time. We're only 30 minutes early anyway." He waved her off to return to the book he was reading.
Cat smirked coyly, "Your talkative again. Just can't wait to see Quatre again can you?" Trowa hid his burning face behind his book. "You've been reading to many romance novels Catherine."
Rolling her eyes, Cat stretched out on the couch. "Whatever you say little brother."
-------------------------------------
"Relena!" Noin called from the doorway. "Are you ready yet?"
Said blond came running out of her room, the two small braids in her hair flying. "Yatta! Yes. I'm ready. Just couldn't find my hairbrush." She giggled. "What would I do without it?"
Noin winked at her roommate/band mate playfully. "Wanting to make sure you look good for Miss Dorothy, ne?"
It was her turn to laugh as the blond turned bright red. She had told her before that she had a crush on the platinum blond guitarist. "Your so cruel Noin! Don't tease me! And besides, it's not like you can talk!" Noin shrugged and grabbed her bags. "Ok ok, sorry. But we should go now. By the time we get there the others should be there too."
Breaking into a small smile, Relena followed her friend and descended the steps to their cars.
--------------------------------
"Dorothy! Zechs!" Quatre called from the driveway, "Hurry up, or we'll be late! We don't need Une bitching at us before we even start this thing!" His results were immediate as he saw two long haired blonds rush down the stair way, their bags in tow. "Took you long enough."
"Yeah, yeah." Zechs yawned and tossed his and Dorothy's bags in the trunk of Quatre's car.
"So…"Dorothy asked , hopping into the front seat. "Shall we go?"
-----------------------------
It was like clockwork. Heero and Wufei entered at 10:15 not speaking a word, just plopping themselves in a chair. Relena and Noin came next at 10:20, both secretly glad that their Shadows hadn't shown up yet. Then Dorothy, Zechs, and Quatre at 10:25, Dorothy desperately trying not to start a fight while Quatre was trying just as hard not to jump the green eyed Bass player. And finally, at exactly 10:30 Duo and Hilde arrived, running through the doors and gasping for air.
"We're…here…"Hilde informed her manager, who raised a brow slightly.
"I've never known you to be prompt, baka." Heero smirked from his chair, immediately making eye contact with the braided teen. Duo glared at him. " I never knew you had enough interest to know anything about me, Hee-chan." He answered stepping closer to the Prussian eyed teen. Duo mentally did a victory dance at the look of shock that cross his 'other-half's' features.
Heero, regaining his composure, growled loudly at the braided baka. As he so affectionately dubbed him. "Maxwell, I will kill you if you EVER call me that again." Duo tilted his head as if confused, his smirk was still present. "Call you what, Hee-chan?" Heero's glare intensified (if possible) he raised himself to his feet….
"Ook." Quatre, ever the protector, stepped in between the two and held up his hands. "How about we ask where, we're going instead of starting a fight this early in the goddamn morning!"
Everyone blinked and stared for a second before nodding in agreement. Heero sat back down and Duo did the same, making sure he was FAR away from the homicidal Light Wing leader. Trowa was smirking at the blonds outburst. Relena rolled her eyes, "He's right. You guys never did tell us exactly where this tour was headed." Une raised a brow and turned to Cat, who shrugged. "So I'm guessing they did freak out just as badly, huh?"
The older woman nodded, then turned back to the bands, who had taken to splitting the room in half. Light Wing on the right and Death Wish taking up the left. 'We're going to have to fix that. If they don't get along, this thing is totally botched.' Une thought, crossing her arms. "We're going to America. California to be precise."
Everything went silent again, then the room erupted in a bunch of amorous cheers. Duo, of course, being the loudest. "YAHOOOOO!" Duo jumped up and started dancing with Quatre, "I'm goin' back to America, I'm goin' back to America…"
"I've always wanted to go there!" Relena and Dorothy squealed together delightedly, then glared at the other as if it was their fault that they had the same thought. Both blonds promptly ignored the other and went to cheer with their friends.
Trowa, watched Quatre laugh with Duo, his face looked indifferent but inside he was seething. 'Strange,' he thought. 'I'm not usually the envious type.' Despite that though, he was too excited at the news….he just didn't show any sign of it. (AN/What else is new?)
Hilde's eyes had lit up, "Oh wow! I wonder if they've got any good skate parks!" Noin joined in, laughing excitedly, "There's beaches where we're going right? I'm gonna whip you this time!" She pointed at Hilde who rolled her eyes. "Dream on! Man, I can't wait to get back in that water though…" She was surprised as her rival/something? Nodded, with that same dreamy look on her face.
Wufei, Zechs and Heero all quietly watched their friends rant on. Wufei had a smile on his face, he was internally laughing at his friends' antics. And Zechs was chuckling lightly, while Heero had on his usual scowl (of course). Une however was smirking and Cat was stiffling a chuckle behind her hand. Heero raised an eyebrow and stood up. "So what's the catch?"
Une, of course, didn't look surprised, but Cat stopped giggling immediately. "Well…" Cat pressed her forefingers together, "You see, the Hotel only had enough rooms for us to split into pairs."
Quatre, who had finally gotten Duo to stop dancing, blinked in confusion. "What's wrong with that?" Une, smirked again. "I have already paired you up. This is going to be another way for you people to learn to get along…or at least be civil to each other."
Duo's eyes widened as if he knew what was coming next. "Une, you didn't! Are you serious! Let me guess you stuck us all with our Other-Halves didn't you?" His violet eyes scanned the faces of the two managers for denial of any kind, when he didn't find any the braided haired teen blinked twice and started toward the door in a trance-like state.
"Hey!" Zechs called out, "Where are you going?"
Duo looked back and shrugged. "Oh, I don't know. I'm just gonna go lay in the middle of the street and wait till a car runs over my head."
The blond grabbed his friends' braid with a sigh and dragged him back ignoring his protests. "Come off it. We still need a lead singer and it might not be all that bad…I mean we're just sleeping in the same room."
Dorothy put a hand on his shoulder, "Uh…Zechs. Are you not processing the fact that your stuck with Dragon?" Wufei growled and his eyebrow twitched but he didn't say anything. At least at first.
"Wait a minute. Dragon?" He asked, raising a brow at Zechs. The blond shrugged and smirked. "Yeah, you DO look like an overgrown lizard to me."
"Why you--" Wufei's hand was lingering dangerously close to the hilt of his katana as he started towards the bass player. Trowa jumped up and held back the enraged teen. "Wufei, now is not the time." Suddenly he heard more giggles erupting from his sisters side of the room. "And may I inquire as to what's so damn funny, Cat?"
Catherine was holding her sides and had to lean against Une for support who was actually giggling too. When they calmed down, both took deep breaths and turned back to their bands. "Nothing." Cat said innocently, though she ahd a strange twinkle in her eye. (AN/ rolls eyes) "Now anyway, yes you are with your…Shadows. Or what does your band call them Une? Other Halves? Well anyway, the bus is here! We should get going. Everybody load up!"
As the group grabbed their things and proceeded onto the bus, Cat let out a sigh and turned to Une. "Why do they have to hate each other so much?" The older woman shrugged and took her seat in the front. "Who knows? Maybe they're all just prone to love/hate relationships."
Hehe, yay! Another chapter complete! Woohoo! Seeseesee? I told you this one would be longer! I know, not very many fighting thingies, but I wasn't quite sure how I should do it! I know that it may seem like things are going a little fast, but 1x2 are my main pairing and they aren't falling in love yet! So what'd you think? Hate it? Love it? Don't have a clue? Well I'd like to thank all of my reviewers! So nice you all are! (sniffles) I LOVE YOU GUYS! (ahem) Read and Review!
