Disclaimer: I don't own of the characters from Gundam Wing. All characters and their quarks belong to their original creators. I'm just borrowing them for my own amusement.
Any other character that doesn't belong to the series is mine, so no takey. Understand? Good. Otherwise… Enjoy! (^-^)
Chapter Two
The Decision
"Okay. Let me get this straight," Jesse said, scratching the side of her, feeling slightly overwhelmed. After an hour's long explanation, there were a ton of facts to sort through. "The five of you come from a world that exists 150 years into the future, where space colonies exist and space travel is possible? And by some freakishly bizarre phenomenon, which not even you guys remember, you woke up and found yourselves here one day, blasted to the past where such things as mobile suits and the space colonies are pure science-fiction. So now since the current currency is nothing like the one in your world, you have no place to go, so you're looking for some one who can take you in during your stay, while you try to figure out what the hell happen and why you were sent to the past in the first place? I am getting this right, right?"
The five Gundam pilot nodded, simultaneously, holding their breaths, waiting for the three girl's responses to the information overload they presented them with. A stifling quiet fell over the living room as Jesse, May, and Eliza processed the facts, rolling over their options, the pros and cons, and figuring out if they should really believe the five boys or not. They looked to each other, reading the other's mental action. The Gundam pilots, remained still, precariously where they were seated around the room: Heero, Trowa, and Quatre were seated on the L-shaped couch, while Duo and Wufie occupied the floor. They waited on the girls' decision, hoping they wouldn't get booted to the curb for sounding so preposterous. Neither of them could bring themselves to believe this was really happening to them. It seemed too surreal.
May made a face. "That would explain a lot."
Jesse nodded in agreement and sighed, heavily. "Yeah, no kidding. Like how they never even hear of cosplay or anime? Or the fact they not only act like and look like the guys from Gundam Wing, but they really think they are who they say they are." She paused for a moment, a trouble look passing over her contemplating facial features. "Still, something doesn't sit right."
Eliza turned to peer over at the blonde with a raised eyebrow. "Like what, Jess?"
Now even the Gundam pilots were looking toward the smaller girl, wondering just what it was that happened to be bothering her.
Jesse furrowed her brow and scrunched her nose in concentration. "It's just weird, you know," she remarked. "That they say they're from the future-- our future-- and yet there's an entire series based on their characters that's widely popular among our generation here in this time period. It was like, the manga artist who supposedly invented Gundam Wing already knew what was going to take place 150 years into the future and he specifically chose to base it around you five and your involvement in the war during the year after colony 195."
"Don't forget, Endless Waltz," Eliza pointed out, holding up her close hand with her index finger in the air. "That takes place during the year after 196 during Christmas Eve when that freaky little girl, Mariemeia, and her pedophile deluded grandfather, Dekim, tried to take over the world. Rather unsuccessfully might I add? It blew up right in their deranged retarded faces when the G-boys got in involved." She grinned at the horrorstruck ex-Gundam pilots. "Man, you guys really kick ass!"
For the fourth or fifth time that day, an uncomfortable silence penetrated the room, leaving the incredulous pilots gawking after the three girls like deer caught in headlights. It was just plain outrageous, if not a little disturbing, that an entire series was based upon their battles and lives during the war between the Earth and the space colonies. Not to mention, apparently a lot of people actually watched and knew the series by heart and were avid fans of it.
"J-Just how much do you girls know?" Quatre stammered, finally finding his voice. His eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head from pure shock.
May and Jesse and Eliza exchanged uneasy looks.
"Maybe it would be best if we just show them instead," May voiced, feeling a little anxious and not looking forward to another round of explanations. She looked her to her best friend. "Jesse?"
She quickly nodded. "You boys sit tight for a moment," she instructed their houseguest before vanishing from the room.
A frigid stillness engulfed the room while they waited for the sandy blonde haired girl to return. The Gundam boys were seated rigidly, each of them caught in their own personally warring of emotions ranging from down right disbelief to out right indignation. Their faces were turned toward anything else, but the two girls stationed in the same room as them. May fidgeted, not liking the tension hanging in the air like a bad omen.
It was her sister, Eliza, who took it upon herself to try and lighten up the mood that had settled in the hearts and minds of the five misplaced boys. "Yeesh, loosen up a bit, will ya?" she scoffed off handedly. "It's not like it's the end of the world. You guys should be honored. There are people in this time period who practically worship you and would give anything to meet you guys in person! Who knows you guys might get a kick out of this when Jesse shows ya her Gundam Wing collection. She's practically a fanatic! Heero, you especially, should be flattered. She practically worships the ground you walk on! It's so creepy, it's funny."
May laughed nervously. "Uh… Eliza, that's not actually helping," she said indicating to the fives boys were suddenly plastered up against the opposite side of the room, looking rather disturbed at that particular piece of information the redhead just shared with them. Heero Yuy's eyebrow twitched uncontrollably at the fact he had his own personal devoted fan girl.
With a quick smack to the side of the head, May quickly covered for her younger sister's screw up. "I think what Miss Shitz-For-Brains is trying to say is that before you guys showed up, Gundam Wing was only a popular Japanese anime that aired during the late 1990s. Jesse, Eliza, and I have all been avid fans since the day it first started airing. It built a rather quick fan base since it has a lot of action, explosives, giant robots, and well developed characters in it. Along with a good clear plot, so a lot of people really got into it. It's kind of understandable if you think about it. Like most tv shows-and you guys seriously can't deny that this doesn't happen in you're world because I bet it does- the audience got involved and of course, like always, they developed favorites among the characters and so yeah, you're going to have fans who totally dedicate themselves to one or two particular characters.
"Jesse is a Heero Yuy fan, while I, myself, am a Duo Maxwell fan and Eliza over here is a Trowa Barton," May elaborated beaming, gesturing from her to Eliza. Carefully, she watched at the five boys slowly eased themselves back into their former seating positions. "I mean you have to look at it from our perspective. In our world, the present, Gundam Wing is just a cartoon. Something made up before we met you and found out that you guys were actually real. We never gave it much thought before hand. Are you kind of catching my drift here?"
"Y-Yeah. I think so," Quatre replied, looking rather red in the face from blushing like crazy. He gulped. "So it's a cartoon show here, right? I have to say, it is a little alarming that our every move and mission were displayed for millions of audience to see without us knowing it, but I guess, when you put it that way. There's really not much we can do about it."
He shared an uneasy glanced with Heero and Trowa. Both of them were equally disheartened by the idea they were spied on their entire lives without their homed keen skills picking up any traces of being observed by unwanted attention.
"So we have fan girls, eh?" Duo muttered, amazed, rubbing his chin, idly. "Now this is something I think I could get use to. So May-?"
"Found them!" Jesse's voice interrupted Duo's question. Simultaneously, everyone's head turned to the arched doorway as the blonde clambered up the steps, carrying a rather large and awe inspiring stack of manga, DVDs, videotapes, and what looked to be a one or two odd looking dolls. The stack in her petite arms, swayed, precariously as she made her way into the room. "Somebody mind not sitting on their sorry asses and help me with these? I don't think I can hold them much long-ger!"
A loud crash echoed through the room, followed by Wufie howling in surprise as Jesse accidentally tripped over her own two feet, forcing her to drop the entire stack onto 05's pilot, unexpectedly. "Whoops. Sorry, Chang."
Wufie hissed and cursed in Chinese from where he laid sprawled out underneath the pile of Gundam Wing merchandise. A large and rather predominantly irk mark pulsed on his large forehead, aggravated. He glowered at the girl, standing above him, scratching the back of her head, looking torn in between wanting to laugh at his humiliation or feel guilty for nearly squishing him to death with her unprecedented collection of everything under the sun concerning the Gundam Wing universe.
Duo whistled, impressed. "Damn, you sure have a lot of stuff," he said as he scooted to get a closer look. It wasn't every day that he got to see Wufie be utterly humiliated like that. He browsed through the pile and pulled out one of the DVDs. "Hey this has me and Death Scythe on the cover! Cool."
"What is all this?" Quatre wanted to know, coming over and helping Duo and Jesse dig a very agitated Wufie out. He picked volume one of the manga, examining it.
"This, my friend, is Jesse's infamous collection of Gundam Wing crap," Eliza announced beaming like a nemesis. The smart ass comment ended with a loud smack to the side of the head. "Hey! What was that for?"
"For being a dumb ass," Jesse retorted. "And making fun of my collection."
Eliza mocked the annoyed blonde underneath her breath, while the Trowa, May, and Heero joined in, shifting through the pile. It was amazing how much stuff Jesse had managed to cram into her tiny frail arms and maneuver up the two sets of stair without incident.
"Amazing," Trowa muttered, flipping through a manga book and then moving onto another. "It's all here. Our missions. Our gundams. The command of Oz and Romefeller. Even the incident with the remnants of the White Fang that took place in between the Mariemeia revolt and the end of the war."
Heero made an agreeing "Hm," analyzing a manga with his face on it along with Wing Zero called, Blind Target.
Wufie cursed after freeing himself from the ridiculous pile. Well, with the help of everyone, but he wasn't about to admit it. "Damnit, onna. Where did you get all this junk from any way?"
Jesse paused and thought it over. "Let's see… FYE. Hot Topic. The bookstore. EBay. . Um… all over the place I guess," she answered, absentmindedly and snatched up DVD I of the anime series. She waved it in front of the boys' faces, grinning. "And it's not junk, Chang. It's valuable merchandise that could be worth millions one day. So bite you tongue and eat it."
Wufie stared at the smaller girl, looking disturbed. His left eyebrow twitching, profoundly in irritation to her shred remark. "You know… I am really starting to loath you, woman," he grumbled.
"So does the rest of the male population," Jesse drawled back, smirking. "You're not only the one I've offended in my life time, Wufie, so get in line."
Quatre looked taken back, his face paling. "Has she really-?"
May shook her head in dismay. "Nyah. She's just exaggeration," she replied nonchalantly. "She's not as bad Eliza. Trust me. She's most definitely the type of person who's probably pissed off the entire male population the size of New York State."
Quatre's face paled even more. "Oh my."
"Hey! I have do ears you know," Eliza snapped glaring at her sister in annoyance to her comment on her fiery temper.
"No? Really?" May pretending to act surprise. "I always thought those were giant mutated kidneys growing out of the sides of your head."
"Shut the hell up, May."
"Love you too, baby sister."
Childishly, Eliza stuck her tongue out at her and flipped her off. May mimicked the sisterly gesture, doubling the amount of birds, earning a snicker from Jesse.
Duo laughed at their immature antics. "Man, you girls are totally insane. Is this normal?"
"Just about as normal as Jesse chasing Eliza around the house with her family sword for destroying something," May muttered. "And the daily piss-off contests."
"Don't forget, the daily routine of trying to tear down the house," Jesse added. "And getting those lousy phone calls from our cranky landlord about disturbing the peace twice a week."
"Oh yeah. That too."
That earned an array of stunned reactions from the five boys. They gawked at the girls, absolutely blown away, second guessing themselves and if they really wanted to put up with staying with three crazy homicidal chicks.
"Hey, we did tell you guys that mayhem is daily event, didn't we?" Jesse teased, grinning wily. "Now, if you want to stay with us while you're trying figure out how to get home and all that good crap, you're going have to make some adjustments. Like getting a job to help pay for the rent and bills that come every month."
Hope lit up in the five boys' eyes. They gawked at the smiling girl, not believing their ears. "Really?"
"You serious?" Trowa inquired, confounded.
"You mean it? We can stay here for the time being until we find a way back to our time?" Quatre demanded, eagerly, practically ready to jump up and start dancing.
May, Eliza, and Jesse looked to each other and smiled, nodding together in unison. "Sure. What the hell? Why not?" Jesse laughed, answering their questions. "We got plenty of room."
"The more the merrier, right?" May quoted, smiling delighted. "We wouldn't want you guys to spend the night out in the cold now. That would be very unkind of us. We're not snobby high struck pricks."
"Not to mention, it's not every day that your house guests happen from your favorite anime show," Eliza chimed in, gleefully. "Man, this so gonna rock!"
"I know, right?" Jesse exclaimed, happily. "Finally. A piece of ass to look at!"
The room became awkwardly still. The five ex-pilots, slowly and carefully scooted away from the grinning daft girl, fear etched deep into their contorted faces, the color of their complexions draining away. The small blonde's outburst stunned them and some of them, especially Quatre and Wufie, actually blushed at the boldness of her perverted statement. The quiet didn't last for long though as May and Eliza erupted into fits of laughter. That was their best friend all right. Her mind evidentially, if not always, somehow, some way, ended up in the gutter before the conversation was done.
"Did she just say what I think she said?" Trowa uttered, terrified. A like blush broke out on his incredulous face.
"Trowa, my man, I'm afraid so," Duo answered, equally put off. "I'm afraid so."
Heero's eyebrow twitched. Not only did he have his own personal fan girl, but unfortunately, that fan girl turned out to be pervert too. His face paled, the emotionless mask shifting to one of pure astonishment. "Kuso," he murmured underneath his breath, cursing in his native tongue.
May laughed, unphased by Jesse's bad sense of timing. "That's our Jesse," she chuckled, jovially. "You gotta love her."
The Gundam Wing boys begged to differ on the subject. What a bunch of lunatics. Perverted over the top lunatics. And here, they were planning on stay with these three? It looked like they were going to in for one hell of a ride.
