The Short Chapter
I grinned as I lowered myself to the floor. Deathscythe was in
great shape.
Quatre, followed by Sam, Nikki, Kris, and Kat, came onto the
hangar floor.
“Hey, Quatre, how do you get all the ladies?” I demanded
playfully as my feet met the ground and I let go of the tow.
The cockpit to Zero opened and Heero came out to look down on
us.
“Ladies?” Kris asked, raising an eyebrow, “We’re ladies now?”
she asked Sam skeptically, “I thought we were chicks...”
I pretended to ignore her, “Hey, Quatre, how do you get all the
chicks?”
Quatre grinned, then sighed mournfully, “It’s not as good as it
looks, they’re only playing games with me...”
I snorted slightly, “They’re good at that...”
As Heero started down his tow, Nikki looked at me, “Sammy
found a new boy-toy.”
I grinned at her, “I just hope she doesn’t break him too
quick.”
Heero landed silently and started toward us as Trowa and Wufei
appeared.
Sam wrapped her arms around Quatre from behind, “Aww! I
wouldn’t break him!” she protested, “He’s too cute!” she pinched his cheeks as if he
were two instead of twenty, “Isn’t he cute?”
Kat leaned close to Sam, “Can I play now?” she asked in a loud,
calculated whisper.
They began to snicker, their bearing naughty, looking at Trowa.
He returned their look with a slightly raised eyebrow, saying nothing.
Heero walked around ‘til he stood directly behind Nikki and she
leaned against him. He wrapped his arms around her waist. That had caused some
problems with a few...well, all of his girlfriends...she’d made quite a few
enemies with that.
I bit my lip, meeting Sam’s eyes. They still hadn’t realized...we
exchanged a grin.
“Where’s Relena?” Heero asked, settling his chin on Nikki’s
head.
None of Nicole’s boyfriends had challenged him for it
though...but I’d heard the quick end to a few arguments of her telling them they were
dumb.
“They’re settling into their rooms.” Quatre replied, “In a while,
we’ll meet for a formal dinner.”
“Hmm...I’m not dressing up.” Heero told him.
Quatre grinned, “If it were anyone other than Relena, I wouldn’t
expect you to show up at all.”
Heero grinned.
“Please?” Nikki murmured, “I am...”
I made a face as she went on, “Do we have to dress up?” I asked,
distracting everyone from the two. It would be easier for Nikki to get her way if they
weren’t being watched, and I really didn’t want to dress up...
Quatre chuckled, “I have to, so you have to. I’m not suffering
through this alone.”
“You won’t have to be alone. Sam and Nik love to dress
up. Krystal does too, for formal occasions...and I’m sure you have enough over-dressed
peacocks coming...”
“Oh, just put on some nice jeans and a dress shirt over a tank or
something.” Wufei told me, “That’s all I’m doing...you should just put on a
button-up.”
“Slacks.” Quatre ordered.
Nikki smiled, winning with Heero, she was feeling gracious now.
“I’ll rebraid your hair.” she offered.
Heero was grinning at me, not upset by her persuasion.
I ignored him and smiled at her, that offer was serious
motivation. I liked it when she played with my hair...a lot. “All right.”
Sam grinned to Krystal, “Artificial motivation...”
Kris grinned back, “Of sorts, but if it works, don’t question
it.”
I ignored that. “I’m gonna go shower and stuff.”
“We...still...have...two hours...” Quatre said,
confused.
I winked at him, “I like it when Nikki plays with my hair.
I want to give her extra time.”
Nicole rolled her eyes.
“Where?” I asked her.
“My room.”
“You got the condoms, or should I bring’em?” I asked, not being
able to help it.
She rolled her eyes, “You’re dumb.”
I winked, “Yeah, but ya love me anyways, don’t ya?” I repeated
Sam’s favorite line that Nikki also used quite often.
She stuck her tongue out at me.
I was already heading for the door, “I got it covered...”
She licked her lips, looking suddenly interested, “Hurry...”
I winked and turned, knowing better than to think she really
wanted to fuck me right now, she’d just decided to give a couple guys their shock for the
day.
