Sorry for the lateness in getting a chapter out…well for any of my stories really. First it was my computer dieing on me taking the hard drive with it. Thought I lost everything. Of course my computer died a week before school started up again. So yeah, then college got in the way. And now that it's summer, my dad seems to have made it his personal mission to make my life a living hell for some odd reason.
There is some good news, I finally got out and bought myself a new computer….man computers are expensive.
Now on with the story.
Chapter 5
"It couldn't have been as bad as you think it is, right?" Quatre asked, thinking that his sister might have blown everything out of proportion.
"I wish it wasn't. You see Quatre; they're always looking down on me. They think I'm a complete airhead, and treat me as such." Serena started to explain.
"Sounds like you needed to get away from them. Maybe all of you just need some time alone and think things through." Quatre suggested.
Serena didn't know what to say to that. She didn't know if she wanted to see them again or not. So she just kept quiet and let Quatre continue.
"You know you don't have to tell me right now if you don't want to. I know that you will tell me when you're ready." Quatre offered.
"I know." Was all Serena could say in response.
Just then there was a knock on the door, "Master Quatre…"
Quatre looked over to his sister, giving her a look that was asking if it was alright for there guest to come in. With a nod from Serena, Quatre answered, "You can come in Rashid." Both siblings watched as the door opened and in came Rashid, who stayed standing by the door.
"Master Quatre, I hate to interrupt, but Miss Noin is on the line. She wishes to meet up with you…" Rashid paused for a moment and looked over at Serena then back at Quatre, "…and the others." He didn't know how else to fraise it, after all Serena didn't know that Quatre and his friends were the Gundam pilots.
"I'll be right down Rashid." Quatre answered, which signaled it was time for Rashid to leave. With the click of the door, signaling that Rashid was gone, Quatre returned his attention to his sister, "Serena, I…"
"I know, I know. You have to go take this call so you can set up some kind of important meeting." Serena said interrupting her brother. Quatre opened his mouth to say something but Serena spoke before he could form a single word, "It's alright, go."
"But…" Quatre started to protect.
"I said go." Serena stated. "And don't make me repeat it again."
With that said Quatre got up off of his sister's bed and headed for the door, before he left her room he looked back at his sister, who was still sitting on her bed looking at him. He gave her a soft smile of apology and left, closing the door behind him.
Serena continued to look at the door after Quatre was gone, a sad look showed on her face. 'It must be hard being the heir of the family.' Serena thought to herself. After that thought Serena got up off her bed and headed back to the balcony with a sigh.
Quatre felt bad for leaving his sister like that, but a call from Noin couldn't be missed. He knew, if she was calling it had to be important. As he approached the room that could be considered his "office", he found Heero leaning against the wall. 'He must be waiting to hear what Miss Noin has to say.' Quatre thought to himself.
Just before Quatre opened the door, he took one more glance at Heero. Once in the room he didn't bother to close the door that way it was leaving an open invitation for Heero to listen in if he so desired. And because of Heero, Quatre didn't bother picking up the receiver of the phone; instead he just turned it to speaker to talk to Noin.
"Hello Miss Noin, what can I do for you today?" Quatre politely asked, he had an idea to why she called, but was hopping he was wrong.
"I'm sorry if I interrupted you, but this call could not be delayed any longer." Noin stated.
"It's all right Miss Noin. What's the urgency?" Quatre asked, starting to get a bad feeling.
"It's about the Gundams…" Noin explained, getting straight to the point. This caused Quatre to look to the open door to where he knew Heero was on the other side of it. But he wasn't anymore, now he was leaning in the doorway. What Noin had to say obviously got his attention. Quatre turned his attention back to the phone as Noin continued on. Now the only problem was, if they were to do as Noin requested, he was going to have to make sure his sister didn't suspect a thing.
Well I guess I'm going to stop there for now. Dunno how long it will be until I update again. I have a summer job and the 7th book of Harry Potter to keep me busy.
