Fate Sucks 2: Clash of the Moon and Star

Chapter 4

Trowa glanced around as the group sat at a café table, waiting for the waitress to bring them lunch. He couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. Glancing around at the others, he found Quatre conversing with Vanessa while Duo tried to add his two cents in only to get a glare from Vanessa because of how ridiculous it sounded in front of him. Wufei was to his left, eyes closed as if in deep sleep however, the silent pilot knew he was just thinking. To his right was Heero, glancing at a menu.

Trowa took interest in this. Why would Heero be glancing at a menu? He had already ordered lunch…

"Hey Heero, looking for seconds already?" Duo asked, finally noticing what the Perfect Solder was doing. Heero didn't pay attention, just kept looking at the menu. Duo pulled the menu down and grinned, "What'cha looking at?" His goofy grin turned to a nervous one as he found himself looking into two very annoyed Prussian Blue eyes, "Um, obviously, you're looking at me…I'm gonna hide now." With that, Duo jumped up and took off running while screaming, catching the attention of pretty much everyone in the restaurant.

Heero jumped up to follow, however just as he passed Vanessa, she grabbed his arm and pulled him down into what used to be Duo's seat. This got all of the present pilots' attentions for two reasons: 1. Heero was actually going to chase Duo; and 2. He actually let himself be pulled down by Vanessa.

Trowa sipped his tea casually, "Which one is it?"

"A man two tables behind you," she answered casually, "I saw him talk to the waitress and give her something. Ever since then he's been glancing at our table."

"He's new at this then…" Wufei scoffed, "Definitely not the mastermind behind this."

Quatre glanced at the man; he seemed harmless enough,but so did the girls when they first met them. However, he seemed to be on a date of sorts; a redheaded girl was sitting at the table with her back to them, chatting with him about something he couldn't hear.

After a little while longer, the girl got up and left the opposite direction of them. Quatre was about to go back to whatever conversation was going on at the table when he noticed Duo come around a corner back towards them. He was wondering how Duo managed to get over there when he left in the opposite direction when he saw Duo glance at the girl's face, and visibly pale. He looked after her, mouth open as she kept walking. He looked at the table and saw Quatre looking at him before mouthing, "Did you see her?" and taking off after her.

Vanessa spotted Duo running off, "Where's he off to, again?"

Quatre got up, "I think it has something to do with that girl. Let's go see."

Vanessa nodded and got up as well. The two walked off in the same direction as Duo and the girl did.

Just as the two left, the waitress came up with their food. "Sorry that took so long hun' we're just swamped today!" she apologized.

"That's alright," Trowa said as he accepted his plate.

After passing out the food, the waitress suddenly seemed to have an epiphany, "Oh that's right! The man at that- oh well seems he's gone, but the man that was at that table over there wanted me to give this to you." She handed a note to Heero before going to serve other customers.

Heero looked at the note confused before opening it. He read the contents and his brow furrowed. He handed the note to the Trowa who read it before handing it to Wufei. Wufei raised an eyebrow, "'Follow the others'?" The words, "Someone planned this" popped into all of their minds. They quickly stood up and followed the others out.

A waiter spotted them leaving, "H-Hey! You forgot to pay!"

The waitress heard his yells and discarded her apron. She pulled out a wad of cash and handed him some, "Will this cover it?"

The waiter turned in surprise, "Oh, I'm sorry ma'am; I didn't realize one of you were still here."

She smiled, "It's okay. Keep the change." With that, she left the café, 'That was easy enough.'

"Duo! Would you wait up!" Vanessa yelled in exasperation. As soon as the two left the restaurant, Quatre and Vanessa's brisk walking turned to full out running to keep up with the braided-haired pilot. They had no clue what he thought he saw in that girl, but obviously it was important.

After running a little while more, Duo came to a sudden stop in front of an old garage of sorts. Quatre caught up with Duo and took a moment to catch his breath before speaking, "What did you think you were doing?"

Duo looked at Quatre with an expression which was filled with confusion, "This is gonna sound crazy, but that girl; I think she was-"

"BAKA!" Duo was cut short by Wufei's yell as the other three pilots caught up with the rest of them. The Chinese pilot glared angrily at the American, "Do you not think! What was the purpose to running off like that!"

Vanessa looked at them confused, "What happened?"

"We received a message right after the two of you left to follow suite," Trowa explained.

Vanessa's eyes narrowed, "In the form of a note?" Trowa nodded as Wufei held it up. She quickly grabbed it and inspected the note. It was handwritten; and she recognized the writing. She looked at each curve with care; never a pause or a break, nothing to suggest forgery. She looked back at the garage, her eyes distant, "How is it possible…?"

The pilots looked at her in confusion. Quatre spoke up, "How is what possible?"

She looked down at the noted, "I know this place, and I know this handwriting, but…it's just not possible."

The pilots took the hint and walked towards the garage. They opened the door and found something that they had vaguely expected, yet still surprised them: The door went right to some stairs, which lead down into a huge hangar which could have easily fit all the mobile suits made of Gundanium alloy plus. There were many computers and parts down at the bottom and a few tables with some gizmos and gadgets on them. A few cars and motorbikes, some in one piece, some not, were away from the computers. The sound of a drill and a few voices told them that there were people working on one of the cars.

The guys walked over to the people with caution. They could see someone's feet sticking out from under the car, someone working under the hood, and someone passing the other two tools as they called for them. The only person whose face they could see was the one passing the tools, but before they could even register who they were seeing, she spotted them.

Or, should I say him. "Quatre!" Laury squealed with delight and threw herself at the shocked pilot.

Hehe, she's baaaaack! Ok, love it? Hate it? Review it! Till next time!
