3.1 Five Pilots and a Girl

By catnips_ph



4 CHAPTER SIX



"She's here!" Duo exclaimed. He heard a motorbike pulled out from outside their hideout. He quickly dashed out and went to see. Quatre quietly followed while the rest just remained in their seats at the small living room.

Lysa or Lizzy surveyed the abandoned warehouse. So this is where they are hiding? Hmm, no one would know anyone lived here. This is a junkyard for crying out loud.

Just then, she saw two boys approaching her and recognized one of them as her attacker about six months ago. She still had her helmet on so she knows he still hasn't recognized her yet!

"Hello there!" Duo greeted with the urchin smile up his face.

Lizzy hasn't moved yet. She simply stared at him then moved her sight to the boy behind him. She gasped a little and felt her heart would burst. It was Quatre Reberba Winner! How on earth could she face him knowing she was one of the persons responsible for killing his father?

Duo was a bit puzzled. She hasn't moved nor had she made any indication that she was expected. Could he be wrong that this isn't the mechanic the doctors sent them?

Lizzy took off her helmet and heard Duo gasped.

"Y-you're the…. You're the girl…" Duo's voice trailed off. Quatre put the pieces together and concluded that this was the girl Duo and Heero kidnapped for Dr J.

"Please let me introduce myself" Quatre said and stepped in front of Duo. "I'm –"

" – Yes, I know" Lizzy cut in. "You're Quatre Winner and this is Duo Maxwell. The doctors gave me your background. My name's Lizzy Simons, your new mechanic." She shook hands with them. Duo was still blushing.

Quatre insisted that he took her belongings so she let him. They went inside through a narrow doorway that led to the small living room. The site that greeted her was a bit daunting. Three boys were staring at her. The one with a black ponytail and brown hair were scrutinizing her from head to foot while the one with very long bangs that hid his eyes was eyeing her silently, his face shrouded.

"Hey guys, let me introduce to you Lizzy Simons." Duo said. "Over here is Wufei Chang, that's Heero Yuy while beside him is Trowa Barton."

Even if Duo hadn't pointed out each of them, she already knows them already through the pictures Dr Reeds had shown her. She also knows their capabilities as well as their background. All except Trowa Barton, which is not his real name. Even the other doctors and professors do not know his background.

"Let's eat lunch before it gets cold." Quatre offered. They went to the adjoining room, which was a small dining room. Heero and Wufei were on both ends of the table. Lizzy sat beside Duo with Wufei near her. Opposite her is Trowa and beside him was Quatre. They ate in silence… Until Duo starts babbling that caused Lizzy to actually smile and laugh for the first time in six months.

The others were feeling unnatural to actually have a girl in their dining room. Much to Wufei's disappointment who from time to time mutters a "weak onna". Lizzy just let it pass.

After lunch, Lizzy helped Quatre wash the dishes and they proceeded to where they were hiding the gundams. Lizzy was ecstatic. Five gundams were in front of her and she loved them all. She was a mecha fanatic much like her father. Though she realized these were instruments of war, the gundams are also a sign of hope for mankind. In no time at all, she climbed into Deathscythe since Duo was the only one willing to lend his gundam. The others were hesitant to have their gundams touched by a girl who was at least a year younger than them.

Some time later, Lizzy and Duo were both tired as they did a major overhaul to Deathscythe. Lizzy went upstairs to Wufei's room and found her things were beside her bed already. The bed was made already and she had two guesses to who could have possibly made it: Duo or Quatre. Wufei was not yet in which gave her time to compose herself. She has her own cabinet much to her delight. She doesn't think Wufei will be thrilled to find her sharing his things with her. In fact, she suspects Wufei is not at all used to having a roommate.

Just as she was about to change into her pajamas, she heard the front door open and Wufei came in. She let out a scream and threw a pillow at him.

"Curse you onna!" Wufei shouted as he stood outside his room. His room for crying out loud!

"Don't you know how to knock?!" Lizzy shouted back at the other side of the room.

The others were laughing at them. Even Heero and Trowa have a small smile tugging at the corner of their lips. Things are going to be very exciting they knew from that time on.
