AN: Okay, so it's been awhile since I've updated this…. On this site at least. x.x I've had this chapter written though for a while, so in my defense, I blame the fact that I have not had any comments for this story. I don't usually update unless I have comments, but because I have a few chapters written, I figured why not. Sigh. Anyway, enjoy, and Please Please Please tell me what you think.
Chapter 5
Lily lay in her room, bored out of her mind. It had been a little over a week now since she'd been here and while it was exciting at first, she had now run out of things to do. She had just finished painting her room purple to match the violet carpet that Quatre had insisted she have. She had told the boy her carpet before was okay, but he knew she really wasn't happy with it. She figured she could go shopping, but she'd already done enough of that. She'd even bought herself a whole new set of furniture and a brand new wardrobe she'd wished she'd had before.
Lily wasn't used to this. She felt spoiled and she didn't like it. Her whole life she'd had to work for anything extra that she'd wanted, and she'd usually stuck to the extremely cheap stuff. Now everything she had was super expensive. She wasn't complaining, but she just wished there were something she could do. When she'd told the boys she wanted to get a job to pay for her own stuff everyone had shot down her idea.
"Ah! This is so boring! I need something to do!" She looked over to her desk and saw her textbooks. She went through her day, trying to see if she'd missed any homework assignments, but unfortunately no. She was done with her schoolwork.
"Hey babe. What's wrong?"
Lily blinked as she looked over at the door and sat up, a bright grin appearing. "Duo!"
Duo looked at the girl and headed into the room, taking a seat next to her on the bed. "You look bored outta your mind."
"That's cause I am," the girl responded. "There's nothing to do. I already finished painting and I finished my schoolwork earlier. I'm done shopping. There's nothing I need. And apparently I'm not allowed to get a job."
"Aw, I'm sorry. Hey, you'll get used to things around here." Duo smiled at the girl. "Hey, Wu-man is comin' back home from his mission today. In fact I think he's already home, down in the dining-room. Would you like to go meet him?"
Lily blinked. This was the first time she'd heard of this new person. "Oh, um... sure. Why not?"
"Great!" Duo stood from his seat, taking Lily's hand and dragging her up as well. They ran out of the room and down the hall, all the way to the dining-room. Duo had ended up practically bursting through the doors, drawing everyone's attention to them. "Yo!" He grinned at the four boys who sat at the table.
Looking around, Lily noted the new boy. Judging by his looks, she guessed that he was Chinese. Nodding to him, she walked over and introduced herself. "I'm Lily."
The boy looked up at her, not really interested in this new girl. "Hn. So?"
Lily blinked then narrowed her eyes. But instead of losing her temper, a small smirk appeared on her face. "Okay then. That's fine. Don't introduce yourself. Not like I want to friend some egotistical jerk who's too full of himself to even give a name." The girl shrugged. "Anyway, I've decided I have a date with Duo." Turning around she grabbed the boy by the arm and walked off.
Wufei blinked as he watched the pair disappear from the room. Turning his gaze to Heero he simply said, "You have an odd sister."
"Hn. If that's your opinion." Heero stood from his seat and left as well.
"Wufei, maybe you should have been nicer. Lily is really a kind person," Quatre told the Chinese.
But Wufei didn't answer. Instead he continued eating his food.

Sakura stood outside the shop, staring at the sign that was posted to the door. She pulled her jacket tight around her and sighed. She had just gotten out of school and was on her way home. The store had been on the way, and ended up catching her attention. Yesterday Naoko had spoken to Sakura, and had explained that she was closing shop. Sakura was allowed to whatever she wanted in the store and was then sent on her way. The girl didn't realize she would miss her job that much. Now she had to go find another job. She sighed. Well, really she didn't have to, but it would at least give her something to do.
Turning her gaze away from the store, she headed the rest of the way home. Turning a corner, her cellphone started going off. Flipping it open, she placed it to her ear. "Moshi moshi."
"Saku-chan!!!!" she heard Lily whine over the phone. She couldn't help but laugh."I'm soooo bored here!!! There is absolutely nothing to do. Come save me! Save me from dying of boredom. Please!!!!"
Sakura continued to laugh. "Baka. It can't be that boring there."
"But it is! I was gonna go out on a date with Duo, but then he got called out for a mission." There was some shifting and then a sigh. Sakura felt bad for the girl. But then, she kind of felt the same right now. "I wish you were here."
"Hey, if I could be, I would be. Trust me." Sakura turned another corner but stopped as she did. There was a loud scream and her phone fell from her hand, hitting the ground hard. She stepped back but before she could run, there was gunfire.

"Saku? Saku? SAKURA!!"
"Lily? Is something wrong?" Heero stood in his sister's doorway.
Lily looked up at the boy, tears in her eyes. "Sakura... I think she's in trouble."
AN: Well? What you think? So once again… Please tell me what you think!!!
