Relena finished reading the document and gracefully signed her
name on the bottom of it. She placed the document back in
its folder and placed the folder in the huge pile of folders that
were already on her desk. She picked up the folders, walked
out of her office and handed the stack to Mavis.
"Could you see that these documents get distributed to their
rightful owners?" Relena asked Mavis as she handed the stack
to her.
"Of course Ms. Relena."
"Please Mavis. Don't call me Ms. Relena. Just call
me Relena. "Ms. Relena" makes me feel like I'm
50 years old. How many times do I have to tell you that?"
Relena stated giving Mavis a friendly smile.
"I'm sorry, Relena. It's hard not to when your such
an important person." Mavis replied.
"Mavis, I'm just a regular person with a hectic job just
like you. I'm no different from anyone else. So please
stop treating like I am. To be honest, I don't like when
anybody does it. It just puts me on a pedestal I don't want
to be on. Besides I consider you a friend and my friends
call me Relena."
Mavis smiled at Relena, "I didn't know you felt that way
and I'm honored to be considered your friend."
The two women shared a friendly hug.
"Mavis, I'll be leaving the office now. Feel free to
do the same as soon as you get those documents distributed.
It's Friday after all and with the nice weather it's going to
be a wonderful weekend, so why not get an early start."
"Thanks Relena. Have a good weekend if I don't get
a chance to see you before I get back." Mavis said
as she lifted the stack in her arms preparing to leave the office
to deliver the documents.
"You too." Relena replied as she entered her office
and shut the door behind her.
Relena walked over to her huge mahogany desk and ran her hand
across the smooth wood surface. She hopped up on the desk
and laid down on it. She stretch her arms out to her sides
and moved them back and forth across the desk like she was making
angels in the snow. She stretched her slender legs to get
out the kinks that settled in them. After she stretched hers legs,
she bent her left leg to place her foot flat on the desk while
letting the right hang off the edge of the desk paying no attention
to the fact that she was wearing a mid thigh skirt. She
closed her eyes relishing in the feeling of accomplishment.
"Damn it feels good to have a completely empty desk."
"I'd enjoy it if I were you because it won't last long."
"Hilde! What's up girlfriend? To what do I owe the
pleasure of this visit?" Relena asked cheerfully as
she sat up on her desk.
Hilde shut the door and walked over to the desk and sat down in
the chair in front of it.
"Relena. Do you think I'm doing the right thing by
giving up on Duo? You're the only one out of all of us that
is kinda in the same situation that I'm in. I mean we've
waited 7 years for the men we love to return our feelings and
I'm so tired of waiting. You know I'd like to have children
while I'm still young enough to bare them."
Relena smiled at Hilde and cocked her head to the side.
"What's the real issue with you? Duo has already told
you that he loves you. He's been breaking his neck trying
to make up for that nurse incident that even wasn't his fault
but you know that. He's sent you flowers, wrote love letters
which is shocking for Duo and you still refuse to speak to him.
Duo loves you. So what's the problem?"
"Leave it to Relena to get to get down to brass tacks."
Hilde sarcastically replied.
"Well?"
Hilde jumped out of her seat and began pacing in front of Relena,
"Alright! I'm scared! There I said it. Happy?"
"Why?" Relena inquired.
Hilde sighed, "Do you have any idea what it feels like to
see the man that love and waited for in the arms of another woman?
The pain was so overwhelming, Relena. I just wanted to die
so I could end my suffering. I didn't realize how much control
Duo had over me. I don't like anyone to be able to affect
me like that. Now I'm confused on whether or not I should
take the chance with Duo or just stay single and continue to date
other guys."
"Will that make you happy, Hilde? Will throwing away
all those years of hard work and sacrifice make you happy?"
Hilde sighed, "II just don't know any more."
Relena hopped down off of her desk and placed her hands on Hilde's
shoulders, "Listen. Just follow your heart it will
never steer you wrong. Speaking of date we both better get
a move on so we can be ready on time. You know it takes
"Reyna" a while to get ready. So why don't we
go and get started shall we."
Relena walked behind her desk and grabbed her purse. Hilde
and Relena left the office.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Quatre shut down his computer, preparing to leave, "Hey guys.
Meet me at Jai's place. 7 sharp. There's something you guys
aught to see."
"I'm not spending my Friday night with a bunch of Onna's."
Wufei stated disgusted.
Quatre stared back at him really not in the mood to be bothered
with the chauvinist pilot, " You don't have to stay.
After you see it, feel free to leave."
~*~*~*~*~*~7 O'clock pm*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero opened the door to Jai's Loft and entered followed by Quatre,
Duo and Wufei. The radio was blaring an old ABBA discosong.
The girls were nowhere in sight. Then they heard singing
coming from the open doors of three bedrooms.
"Gimme Gimme Gimme a man after midnight."
Jai came dancing and singing out of the Kitchen with a Pepsi and
a sandwich in her hands oblivious to the pilots.
"Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?" Jai
sang as she danced her way over to her laptop on the dining room
table.
"Gimme Gimme Gimme a man after midnight." Came three
harmonized voices from the bedrooms.
"Take me through the darkness to the break of the day."
Jai responded.
The end of the song begins to fade. Jai pulled out her chair
to sit down.
"I can help you with problem."
With lightening fast reflexes she pulled out her gun and pointed
it towards the voice.
"Quatre!" she shouted as she lowered her gun, "One
day you are going to sneak up on me and I'm gonna shoot you."
Quatre continued to grin wickedly at her as she walked over and
turned the radio down. Duo began clapping.
"Hey that was a great concert. If you guys ever find
yourselves out of work, you can always sing."
Jai smiled, "I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Duo."
Wufei huffed, "Silly Onna's."
Jai shot him the Yuy Death Glare.
"Hey Heero. Why don't you sing us a few bars?"
Duo asked smirking.
Before Heero got a chance to strangle the braided baka the buzzer
for the door rang. Jai walked over to the vid display.
"Yes" Jai said.
"Hey Jai. It's Calvin. Is Reyna ready?" a man
with short dark brown hair and brown eyes asked.
"Reyna your date's here!" Jai shouted towards the bedrooms.
"Who is Reyna?" Duo asked with a confused look on his
face.
"Be right down, Calvin!" Reyna shouted from down the
hallway.
Calvin nodded that he heard her and Jai cut the vid display.
A woman with long flaming red hair with golden highlights and
bright green eyes came hopping down the hallway on one foot trying
to get a black pump on her bare foot. She was dressed in a long
red denim skirt with a thigh high split on her right leg.
She wore a black silk tank top under a red sheer shirt.
Her lips were painted in flaming red lipstick and a little blush
colored her cheeks. She came to a complete halt when she
saw one pilot in particular.
"Heero. What are you doing here?"
Heero stared at the woman with a blank expression on his face
while fighting the physical reaction he only got when she was
near him.
"Relena?"
"At the moment its Reyna. This is how I go out and
about in the free world and right now my date is waiting",
she said as she walked toward the door tossing her red hair over
her shoulder.
Quatre, Duo and even Wufei were too stunned to say anything.
Relena had definitely changed besides learning how to throw knives
and fire a gun. This Relena was a total knock out and had
the attitude to go with it. Relena reached for the door
handle.
"Don't wait up." She said as she bounced out of the
door.
Heero walked over to the window and looked out. Relena emerged
from the building a few minutes later. His heart began to twist
when Calvin kissed Relena on her cheek as he helped her in her
car.
"Uh Heero buddy. I'd say you have been replaced."
Duo said smirking at Heero.
The buzzer rang again before Heero knock Duo in the face for his
comment.
"Yes?"
"Could you tell Hilde that Jake is here?" A man with
long auburn hair and deep blue eyes asked with a British accent.
"My name is Brad and I'm here for Sally." A man with
platinum blond hair and pale blue eyes said from behind Jake.
Duo's smirk fell from his face and Wufei stiffened at the mention
of Sally's name.
"We're ready" Hilde called as she and Sally walked down
the hallway from their respective bedrooms.
Hilde was wearing sapphire colored silk shorts with a matching
button down shirt. The soft fabric flowed back and forth
with every step she took. The laces of matching color sandals
she wore criss-crossed half way up her muscular calves. Duo looked
Hilde up and down frowning.
"Where do you think your going and who the hell is Jake?"
"Well excuse me for being a mere mortal but I've been waiting
around for 7 long years for you Duo and you missed out. One man's
lose is another man's gain." Hilde replied as she approached
the door.
"Who said I lost anything?"
"Well if you didn't notice, what you THINK you had is on
its way OUT the door." She said as she opened the door and
walked out to the elevator.
Sally was wearing a form fitting black mini slip dress with spaghetti
straps. Shear black stockings caressed her nicely toned
long legs. Black three-inch heels completed the ensemble.
Wufei's breath caught in his throat as he looked over Sally's
new look. He'd never seen her in a dress before.
'Sally is gorgeous, ravishing, exquisite...MINE!'
Duo smacked Wufei on the back to get him to breathe again.
Sally smiled at Wufei as the color returned to his face.
"Are you gonna wear that dishonorable dress in public Onna?
You'll only shame yourself." Wufei said slipping on his mask
of arrogance.
"Wufei, just because you find women like me disgusting to
look at doesn't mean every man does. REAL men aren't afraid
of REAL women."
Wufei was indignant, "I'm only looking out for your best
interest Onna. Somebody has too."
A sly grin crossed Sally's face, "I didn't know you cared
so much Wufei, but yes I am going to wear this dishonorable dress
as you call it and turn other men on just like I turned you on."
"What makes you think a strong warrior like me would fall
for the charms of a week Onna?" an incensed Wufei spat.
"The bulge in your pants gave you away." She shot back
as she strolled out of the door and quietly closed it behind her.
The Dragon Warrior's face turned red as a fire engine and his
body trembled in anger.
Jai and Quatre looked at one another and hollered "INJUSTICE!!"
before collapsing on the floor in a fit of laughter knowing that
that was the next word to come from the Justice Pilot's lips.
When Jai and Quatre finally stopped laughing they found themselves
surrounded by three very pissed off Gundam Pilots.
"Well it looks like you ALL got replaced tonight." Jai
said smiling up at the angry pilots.
"Damn it! It's too late to follow them now. They have one
hell of a head start." Duo stated dejectedly.
"I don't think so." Heero said turning towards
his sister, "Where are they?"
"How in the hell am I supposed to know", She replied
as she and Quatre got up from the floor.
"Don't give me that bull shit. There's no way you're going
let "Reyna" go anywhere and not know where she is.
You're just like a mother hen who knows where all of her chicks
are." Heero quipped.
Heero walked over to the dining room table where Jai's laptop
was sitting and pulled out the chair in front of it. Jai
huffed, stomped over to the chair and plopped down in it. She
slowly began typing on the keyboard causing Heero to give her
the Yuy Death Glare.
"You can't intimidate me with that glare. I got one
that looks just like it." Jai said as she slowed down her
typing to a crawl.
"Damn it Onna. Type faster I know you can."
"Jai could you please hurry it along?" Duo whined giving
her his famous puppy dog eyes.
Quatre snickered as he watched Jai make he fellow comrades sweat
it out.
***WHAM***
Heero slammed both his hands on the table causing it to shake.
Jai caught her glass of Pepsi before it spilled all over the files
she had on the table. She stopped typing altogether and turned
to stare at Heero, her eyes flickering with amusement.
"Is there a problem, Heero?
"Don't be coy, Jai. I'm not in the mood." Heero
seethed through his teeth.
Jai crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, "Don't
get mad at me. You did this to yourself. All you have to
do is tell her how you feel, Heero. Simple as that but no, all
that Gundam pride keeps getting in the way. Baka."
Jai turned from Heero and began typing on the keyboard once again.
A few moments later, the tracking program loaded and a map appeared
on the screen. All the guys gathered around Jai.
Jai looked at the map, "Ok. Let's see. Catherine, Kellee
and Jase are at the Circus. Hilde is at Sanc Cineplex, Sally
is at Chet` Pierre and Reyna's at the pier."
Heero, Duo and Wufei took off out of the door, slamming it in
their wake.
"That went well." Quatre said as he took the seat
next to Jai, "So what do you want to do tonight."
"You are one naughty boy, Quatre Raberba Winner." Jai
said as she leaned back in her chair crossing her arms.
"How so, Janai Jamenson Yuy?" Quatre asked leaning towards
Jai.
"I thought your were going to tell them about the dates?"
"I was but I thought we both would enjoy it more if we could
see their reactions first hand. You didn't tell me that
Sally had a date too."
Jai began laughing again, "That was even news to me."
Quatre began laughing too, "So I'll ask you again, what do
you want to do tonight?"
"I don't know what you're going to do tonight but I'm going
to catch up on ComCor business. I am so behind. Redesigning
the Preventer Computer System took a lot longer than I thought
it would. So I won't be much company tonight." Jai said putting
on her glasses.
"That's OK. I'm sure I can find something to keep myself
entertained." He responded as he got up from the table and
left the Loft.
'Whew. If I had to smell his cologne all night, I just might
not be able to resist getting a little closer to him. I
would have succumbed by now if it weren't for my training'
Jai picked up the first file and began flipping through the documents
when her door reopened and Quatre entered with his laptop and
briefcase. He walked over to the opposite end of the table and
began setting up his laptop.
Jai looked over her the top of her glasses. "Uh Quatre? What
the hell are you doing? I thought you said you were leaving?"
Quatre looked up from what he was doing and smiled at her, "I
never said I was leaving. I said "I can find something
to keep myself entertained." Since your working on ComCor
business I might as well keep you company and work on Winner business."
He stared at her waiting for some type of reaction. When
he didn't get one he smirked and asked, "My presence doesn't
bother you doesit?"
Jai's mind screamed, 'Hell yeah!!! Your so damn distracting
I won't be able to concentrate on anything but the sound of your
breathing and the smell of your cologne. Damn you!!!'
"No. Did you think that it would?" she replied indifferent
and resumed looking over the documents in her hands.
Quatre smiled and returned to setting up his workstation, 'Your
mouth says "no" but your vibes says "yes"'.
Jai sighed, 'This is going to be one long fucking night.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jase and Kellee sat in the bleachers watching the high wire act.
Jase was munching on his fifth elephant ear. Kellee watched
in horror as the acrobat let go of the trapeze, flipped though
the air and is caught by his partner. The crowd oohed and
ahhed. Kellee turned an unhealthy shade of green.
Jase looked over at Kellee and chuckled.
"Are you still afraid of heights?" Jase asked her as
he began licking the sugar off of his fingers.
"Yes. Did you bother to chew that elephant ear or did
you just swallow it whole?"
Jase continued to lick his fingers, ignoring her question and
smiling, "How can you fly a mobile suit and be afraid of
heights?"
"Floating in space is one thing. Plummeting to the
earth is another."
The audience clapped as the Trapeze act concluded. The Ringmaster
walked to the center of the ring.
"Ladies, Gentlemen and Children of all ages introducing the
knife throwing stars' of the circus Catherine Bloom and Trowa
Barton."
The crowd clapped and cheered, as Catherine and Trowa became the
center attraction of the circus. Trowa and Catherine bowed
and waved to the audience as they made their way to the center
of the ring. Jase whopped, whistled and shouted, "That's
my baby!" over and over again. Kellee was blown away. All
she could do was stare at Trowa. It wasn't the funny oversized
green pants with multi colored suspenders or the big floppy red
shoes. It was the well-defined chest, the broad shoulders
and the muscled arms that held her attention. Her mind instantly
went back to the night Trowa had her pinned to the wall.
Her hands began to tingle as she remembered how it felt caressing
his body and his lips on hers. Looking at his shirtless chest,
she knew why his body felt so good. His was built like the
finest Arabian stallion. Kellee licked her lips as Trowa walked
gracefully over to take his place on the target. Kellee
was brought out of her trance by a nudge in her side.
"If you keep drooling like that, the people in front of us
are going to need an umbrella."
Kellee turned her head and was met by violet eyes that twinkled
with amusement.
"I wasn't drooling. There isn't anything to drool over",
Kellee replied indifferent.
Jase looked at Trowa and then back to Kellee, "That's not
what it looked like to me. You were licking your lips like you
were about to feast on something real good."
"Looks can be deceiving."
Jase grinned at Kellee, "Not in this case."
Kellee smacked Jase up side his head and turned her attention
back to the show. Trowa stood in front of the target with
a stone expression on his face as the first knife landed with
a "THWACK" right by his arm. The crowd was completely
silent as Catherine continued to throw her knives at Trowa.
By the time she threw the last knife, Trowa was nearly fastened
to the target. The crowd clapped and cheered as Catherine
bowed to them. Then Catherine took out anther set of knives.
The target began to spin around and around like a spinning wheel.
Catherine took aim at her target.
"Are they nuts!" Kellee shouted as she watched Catherine
throw a knife at a moving Trowa.
" Whatcha worried about? Catherine wouldn't harm hair on
your man. I'm not worried." Jase replied as he watched
Catherine launch another knife at Trowa.
"That's because Catherine isn't the target! And Trowa's
not my man!" Kellee shot back.
"He will be." Jase answered.
Kellee crossed her arms and continued to watch the rest of the
act. She stared intently at a spinning Trowa.
'He must be really brave or crazy as fuck.' Kellee thought
as another knife "THWACK" the target.
'Crazy as fuck.'
The circus concluded with the elephant parade. Jase and
Kellee made they're through the crowd to find Trowa and Catherine.
When they reached the animal cages they saw Trowa making balloon
animals for a group of little children. Each child squealed
in delight when they received their balloon back from Trowa.
Trowa had a small smile on his face as he talked to the children
while making theanimals. Kellee was amazed how relaxed Trowa
seemed to be around the children and how well they seemed to respond
to him.
'He'll make a great father someday.' Kellee thought to
herself.
All of a sudden Kellee winced, 'What the hell am I thinking?
All I need to do is fulfill my end of the bet. There is
no need to get attached to Trowa Barton'
'Yeah? If you keep telling yourself that you just may believe
but I doubt it.' That little annoying voice said.
'Shut Up!!!'
Kellee snapped back to reality to see that the children had all
dissipated and Trowa was making his way to his trailer.
Kellee was about to catch with him when he was intercepted by
what could vaguely be called women. The two women sauntered
up to Trowa. The first girl wore a short black leather mini skirt
with a red backless spaghetti strap top, red fishnet stockings
and black scuffed ankle boots. The blue-eyed girl wore silver
lipstick, blue eye shadow, clumpy mascara and pink blush.
Her hair was done in a spiky hairstyle. One side was silver and
the other side was black. The other girl was dressed just
as bad. She wore a purple spaghetti strap dress with thigh
high splits up both sides and silver platform three-inch heel
shoes with laces that criss crossed around her ankles. Her
hair was ebony black cut into a very short shag style. She
had green eyes and no eyebrows. They were drawn on with
an eye pencil. She wore dark purple lipstick on her lips,
silver eye shadow, the same clumpy mascara and pink blush.
Kellee just stared. Jase broke out laughing.
"Cruella DeVil. Cruella DeVil. If she doesn't scare you no
evil thing will." Jase sang as he came to stand beside Kellee.
"That other girl's hair, remind me of a great big black powder
puff." Kellee said as double over with laughter.
"Hey what's so funny?" Catherine asked as she walked
up to the two laughing maniacs.
They both managed to point to the source of their glee.
Catherine looked toward where they were pointing and her eyes
got as saucers. "Oh my god. One girl looks like the side
of head got hit by a lighting bolt, the bolt bounced off and sheared
the hair off the head of the other one."
Catherine soon joined in the merriment.
All of his years as a soldier hadn't trained him for the creatures
he faced now. Trowa could only watch in horror as the creatures
approached him.
"Hello my name is like Carrissa." Cruella said in a
high-pitched valley girl voice as she draped her arm around his
shoulders.
"And I'm Katrina." The powder puff head said in a deep
husky voice as she ran her fingers up and down his chest.
All Trowa did was ***BLINK, BLINK***. His skin began to
crawl as the girls touched him. He was going to take as
fast shower before his date with Kellee but now his was considering
a longer one.
"We're like totally big fans of yours" Carrissa stated.
"Really big fans." Katrina emphasized as she continued
to draw lazy circles on his chest.
Trowa heard the laughter behind him and turned his head to the
laughing trio. Catherine saw her brother's pleading look
in his eyes 'Save me!'
Kellee wiped the mirth from her eyes. When she finally finished
she saw the powder puff head girl drawing circles on Trowa's chest
and Cruella DeVil snuggle closer to Trowa. Kellee experienced
an emotion she never experienced beforeJealousy. Kellee
fists clinched at her sides and her brow furrowed.
'I thought he didn't mean anything to you?' That little
voice said.
'He doesn't'
'Then why are you so jealous?' The voice asked.
'I'm not jealous'
'Yes you are. That's why you're going to storm over their
and beat some fashion sense into them' The voice taunted.
Kellee's conversation with herself ended abruptly when Catherine
tugged on her denim jacket.
"Come on. We have to save my little brother."
Carrissa snuggled closer to Trowa, "So like why don't we
like go back to your place and like totally have some fun."
Katrina purred, "Or we could go back to our place."
Trowa was about to puke when
"I don't think so girls. That clown belongs to me.
I would appreciate it if you would extract yourselves from him,
have Scotty beam you back up and go back to the dimension you
can from."
Carrissa and Katrina looked Kellee up and down and frowned at
her attire. Kellee was wearing a mint green denim jacket
and matching jeans with a dark green tank top underneath and dark
green Keds.
"Like I don't think so. He's like our date for tonight."
Carrissa said pulling Trowa closer to her.
"Ain't that right, sweetie?" Katrina asked wrapping
her arms around Trowa's waist.
***BLINK, BLINK***
Trowa looked pleadingly into Kellee eyes, 'Shoot me now!'
Kellee blood ran cold through her veins as pure rage took over
her senses. In a flash she whipped out her gun a fired a
shot right through the trio. Carrissa and Katrina jumped
away from Trowa, while Trowa remained as stoic as ever.
"The next time I won't miss." Kellee said through
her clenched teeth.
Carrissa and Katrina ran as fast as they can, crying bloody murder.
Kellee put her gun away and walked over to Trowa who was still
not moving.
"Trowa are you OK?" Catherine asked.
***BLINK, BLINK***
"Trowa?" Kellee said waving her hand in front of his
face.
***BLINK, BLINK***
"Thus the life of a circus star. Right Trowa?" Jase
asked.
"I feel so VIOLATED!!" Trowa shouted and he ran to his
trailer.
Trowa swung open the door and launched himself inside not bothering
to close it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The crystal clear blue waves lapped at the beach and quietly returned
to the sea for destinations unknown. Jealousy coursed through
his veins as Heero watched "Reyna" and Calvin holding
hands while walking along the shoreline. He knew it should
have been him caressing her fingers, enjoying the melody of her
laughter. But as Jai so eloquently put it "his Gundam
Pride got in the way". He watched the couple as they
went beneath the pier where a picnic was waiting for them.
He continued to watch the couple as they talked, ate and laughed.
Raw all out jealousy slowly consumed him as the minutes passed
by. It took all of his will power not to go down there and
break the guy in half.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo arrived at the Sanc Cineplex just in time to see which theatre
Hilde and Jake entered, thus saving the expense of having to buy
a ticket to each of the 10 movies that were currently running.
He bought his ticket and slipped into the theatre unnoticed.
He quickly scanned the theatre and located Hilde and Jake.
They were seated in the middle of the theatre. Duo took
a seat in the darkest corner in the back of the theatre.
Duo slumped in his chair as he watched the pair. The more
he watched the more furious he became. The dam broke as
soon as he saw Jake put his arm around Hilde and Hilde snuggle
closer. He was just about to go and shove his fist down
the Jake's throat when a group of five rowdy teenagers entered
the theatre. A sly grinned crossed his face. After
the boisterous group was seated, Duo went over to them.
"Hey!" Duo said low enough to get their attention.
Three boys and two girls turned around, "What the hell do
you want?" One of the boys asked.
"How would you like to make $50 each?"
The group grinned at Duo, "What do we have to do?" one
girl asked.
"What can we get in place of the $50?" the other girl
asked looking Duo up and down.
Duo turned to the girl "I got two words for youJail Bait."
The group laughed at the girl and she slid lower in chair thoroughly
embarrassed.
Duo continue, "Look this is what I want you to do"
Duo explained who the target was and what he wanted them to do.
Duo paid them each $50 and got up to return to his seat in the
back of the theatre when one of the boys stopped him.
"Hey mister if they ask us why we did it what should we say?"
Duo smiled and said, "Tell 'em the Devil made me do it."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wufei sat in the parking lot across the street watching Sally
and Brad through the picture window of Chet' Pierre. He
gripped the handle bars of his bike when he saw Brad caress Sally's
cheek with the back of his hand. Outraged, Wufei began to
get off of his bike and storm the restaurant when a beat up Chevy
pulled into the parking lot and a young man dressed as a waiter
hurriedly got out of the car. Wufei ran over to the young
man and stopped him.
"I'll give you double of what you'd make tonight if you give
me your uniform."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So what do you say Jai?" the man on the other end of
the vidphone asked.
"Mr. Rainey, I do not conduct business over dinner.
If you really need to talk to me, that's what business hours are
for." Jai calmly replied.
"But Jai" Mr. Rainey began again trying to convince
Jai to go out with him.
Jai tuned him out slightly and continued to type on her laptop
when an instant message appeared.
WINNERQR: Does that happen a lot?
Jai looked across the table to see Quatre's piercing aquamarine
eyes staring intently at her over his glasses.
JJAMENSON: Does it bother you?
WINNERQR: Should it?
JJAMENSON: No.
WINNERQR: Well it does.
JJAMENSON: J Are you jealous?
WINNERQR: Maybe.
JJAMENSON: Why?
WINNERQR: I don't like to share.
"So what do you think, Jai", Mr. Rainey asked for a
second time.
Jai was so caught up in the conversation with Quatre that she
lost track of the one with Mr. Rainey.
"I think you should make an appointment to see me, in my
office, during NORMAL business hours and take your WIFE out to
dinner."
Mr. Rainey laughed nervously, "Well you see Jai" and
he started his rant again.
WINNERQR: You want me to beat him up?
JJAMENSON: I thought you were a Pacifist?
WINNERQR: Only when I feel like it.
JJAMENSON: And I take it you don't fell like it right now.
WINNERQR: Not in the least.
JJAMENSON: You shouldn't get so worked up over something
that is not yours.

"Jai? Jai?! Are you still there?" Mr. Rainey shouted.
"Yes. I'm still here."
"So, will you meet me for dinner?"
"The answer is still no. Goodnight Mr. Rainey." Jai
said and cut the transmission.
Jai looked toward the last known location of her nemesis only
to find him gone.
"Now where did he get to?"
"Did you miss me?" Quatre asked as he placed his hands
on the back of Jai's chair.
Jai tilted her head back so she was looking at him upside down,
"What are you up too?"
Quatre looked down at her and smiled mischievously, "I'm
tired of doing paperwork and I bet you are too, so I thought that
we might play a little game."
"What kind of game?"
"A game of strategy."
"And if you win?"
"I get you all to myself for one evening."
"And if you lose."
"I'm pretty sure you'll think of something."
"Your on."
