"What a drag. History homework." Duo sighed and clasped his hands behind his head. "What've we got next?"
Heero thought for a minute. "Math. Bloom's in that class and Quatre. We don't have a class with Wufei until Gym."
Duo shrugged and glanced over his shoulder to see Hilde walking slowly, studying her schedule. He stopped Heero and nodded to her, so they waited until she was level. Duo pulled the schedule out of her hands and looked it over. "Hey, you've got most of the same classes as us."
Heero looked over Duo's shoulder and nodded. "Up 'til fourth hour. We've got English, you've got Lit."
Hilde held out her hand for the schedule and Duo handed it back. "You should smile more; it's good for your health. Wanna walk with us to Math?"
Hilde nodded and fell into step next to Duo. There was silence for a minute and then Heero asked, "You said you lived with your mom and two sisters?"
"Yeah, my mom is in the military and was just PCSed here. My older sister is seventeen, her name is Lucrezia, and my younger sister is Middie, she's about seven."
"PCSed?" Heero asked as Duo said, "Your sisters are about the same age as my brother and sister."
"In that order?" Hilde waited for Duo to shake his head and say, "No, my brother's the younger one."
"Hilde turned to Heero. PCS means permanent change of station. It means we have to move."
Heero stepped back and glanced at the door to his right. "This is math. Come on, let's get this over with."
Duo drew up next to Hilde and laughed. "Wasn't payin' attention. C'mon, Hilde, we'll be late."
Hilde followed Duo through the door and into the classroom. Hilde had to talk to the teacher and Heero led Duo to his seat in the back.
"Duo, you sit behind me in this class." Heero said exasperatedly.
"Sorry," Duo jumped up and slid into the desk behind Heero. "It's Monday; can you blame me for being slow?"
Heero shrugged and turned to the blonde boy next him. Duo looked up and blinked in surprise to see Quatre drawing idly in his notebook.
"Hey, Duo. Did you hear we've got a sub today?"
Duo shook his head and Quatre nodded at the man standing at the front. "Mrs. Keck's in the hospital. Apparently she fell down some stairs and broke her arm."
Heero shook his head. "Man, I hope she gets better soon, this sub's horrible."
"Class! Pay attention!" The teacher tapped a stick against the whiteboard. "We have a new student."
Hilde went through the new student speech and was directed to sit next to Relena, on the other side of the classroom.
"I have a worksheet for you." The teacher gave out a piece of paper with complicated math problems.
"I don't remember how to do half of these!" Duo turned to Quatre for help and Quatre's head snapped forward.
"Trowa!" Quatre spun around to the brown-haired boy sitting behind him. "What was that for?"
"We haven't learned half of this." Trowa held his paper up. "This sub's a Nazi."
"This is not a group project, gentlemen." Duo turned at the sound of the teacher's voice to see his standing by the desk and staring up at them.
"Sir, we haven't learned all this." Quatre gestured at the bottom of the paper.
The teacher glared up at him and sat at the desk. Quatre blinked in surprise and Trowa stifled a laugh. Duo put his head in his hands and stared at the paper.
"This is insane." Duo glanced around the class and saw most of the students doing the same.
"Hey, Duo, look at this." Heero passed the paper over his shoulder quickly. A cartoon picture of the sub was drawn all around the side. Duo choked on a laugh, the picture was of Heero shoving the sub's head in a toilet.
"It's not so great 'cause I didn't have a lot of time." Heero strained to see of Duo's shoulder.
"Looks like something I'd do." Duo passed the paper back, keeping an eye on the teacher.
Trowa reached over and jerked the paper out of Heero's hand. He laughed at the picture and handed it to Quatre.
"I will be collecting these at the end of the class." The teacher turned around and Quatre laid the paper quickly over his own.
"Oops." Heero made a face. "I think my paper just got misplaced."

A dodge ball nailed Duo in the back of the head and he stumbled forward.
"I win, Loudmouth!" Duo turned to see Wufei with another dodge ball in his hand. "Duck."
Duo caught the ball and threw it back, but Wufei ducked underneath it.
"Children! Enough!" Heero grabbed up the ball and held it up. "Mine now!"
Duo glanced over at Wufei, saw him nod and charged at Heero. Heero tucked the ball under his arm and sprinted across the gym. Duo and Wufei tore after him, Wufei going to the left to corner him against the wall.
"Bloom! Catch!" Heero threw the ball over Duo's head and into Trowa's hands. Wufei curved around and ran for Trowa while Duo guarded Heero. Quatre joined in after a minute and they started a three-way Monkey in the Middle game.
"Alright, Class, gather round. Boys, put the ball away!" The gym teacher glared at them until Heero threw the ball into a bin on the wall. "Today we're playing kickball." There was a mixture of shouts and groans. "I'm glad you're all so happy. You know the rules, pick captains and split into teams."
The captains were Heero and a red-headed boy named Jack. Duo and Trowa were on Heero's team and Wufei and Quatre got picked for Jack's side right away.
"Duo, you're up to bat." Heero tapped Duo on the shoulder. They were at one of the outside fields. Next to them the girls were playing softball.
Duo lined up and glanced at Wufei who was pitching. Duo kicked the ball solidly and it shot into the air.
"Woohoo!" Duo punched the air as the ball shot over the fence. He ran around the bases and stopped next to Heero. The next two batters got out, the third made it to second and the fourth got out.
"Yes! To the field!" Duo ran to and stood on the pitchers mound. Heero pushed him off, "I pitch Duo."
Duo pouted and stomped to second base. "Is this good?"
"Wonderful. Now, if a ball comes, make sure your head is in the way."
Duo glared at the back of Heero's head as he pitched the first ball. Wufei was up and he kicked the ball to the fence.
Duo opened his mouth to say something when Wufei passed him, but a shout from the field over made him pause.
"Heads up! Boys' field!" Duo looked to see a softball arch over the fence. Duo reached up and caught the ball as it fell.
"Ah! Ooo, that hurts." Duo winced slightly against the stinging in his palms. He glanced at the fence and saw Hilde's head pop over it.
"Hey, Duo! Can we have our ball back?"
"Look out!" Duo threw the ball and it curved beautifully through the air to land on the other side.
"Thanks and sorry." Hilde dropped down and Duo turned back to the kickball game.
