A/N: I'm starting this chapter with no clue as to how it's going to go, and I really don't feel well, so we'll see how this goes, I guess...
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, and I make no profit from this. However, I do own Andie Rika Tru, so please ask if you want to use her, ok?
"What is wrong with you two?" Catherine sighed. She was supposed to be practicing with Andie, but after her third coughing fit, Catherine had been forced to sit down and observe.
"Nothing." Trowa and Andie chorused, but Trowa looked just a tiny bit nervous and Andie's forever smile was M.I.A.
"Trowa, you're usually a good liar. Something's going on." Catherine turned towards her understudy. "You've never been a good liar."
"If I have to throw one more knife, I may kill him and you wouldn't be able to prove whether it was accidental or not." Andie blurted out in a moment of white-hot anger. She was still furious with Trowa for searching her room that morning.
"Trowa, what did you do?" Catherine shook her head. "I don't picture you as the type to do something to make your friends angry... but then again..." Catherine thought back to Trowa's almost self-destruct and sighed. "Will someone please tell me what is going on here?"
"Can't." Andie threw her knives in such a way that it looked random, but each knife was millimeters away from hitting Trowa. "I'd get thrown out of this circus so fast my head would spin."
Catherine's eyes narrowed and she rubbed her temples. Her head was pounding from the tension in the room, and she didn't want to deal with her adoptive little siblings right then, it was just too difficult.
"You know about my mobile suit, right?" Trowa interjected, and Andie turned towards him, annoyance in her eyes.
"Yes." Catherine straightened up in her chair and looked at Trowa. "What about it?"
"Well, I work for..." Trowa struggled for a way to explain this that wouldn't get Catherine in trouble. "A colony group. But there are people who oppose my group..."
"I used to be one of them until a particularly bad incident where I was against my fellow troops." Andie went to retrieve her knives, ignoring Trowa until he shut up. "But I wasn't forgiven for my little rebellion, so they've been after me." She struggled to pull her knives from the wood; they were deeply embedded this time. "And Trowa here didn't believe me that I wasn't working for them anymore and he searched my room-"
"I-" Trowa began but-
Andie kept talking. "Without my permission!" She gave up on her knives and stalked over to Catherine. "That's why I'm pissed off at him, if he had just asked I would've let him and I wouldn't be this mad!"
"Trowa-" Catherine began, but this time Trowa cut her off.
"I didn't realize that was the problem." Trowa strode over to Andie and put his hands on her shoulders. "I'm-"
"Don't touch me." Andie backed up, moving behind Catherine's chair.
"Alright." Trowa didn't want to argue with this girl, so he stepped back in compliance. "I'm sorry, I should've asked you, even if I didn't trust you."
"You just don't want to be on my bad side." Andie huffed. "You want me to be that cheery girl that you met when I first came here. I'm human. I can't be that." Andie stalked away.
Catherine stood. "I'll go make sure she's ok." She started towards the tent door but she started to cough and Trowa eased her back into her chair.
"I'll take care of this." Trowa held Catherine down into her chair for a moment so she wouldn't get up and chase him. "Trust me." with that, he followed Andie out of the tent.
As he followed the path she had taken, he heard screams and shouts, though he didn't have a clue as to why people were upset...
A/N: A bit of a cliffhanger. The next chapter should be up tonight unless my net goes wonky again. Anyway, what did you think? I'd love to hear from my readers. Also, thank you to StormyMonday for the review on chapter five! Thank you everyone for reading!
