<Beep, beep, beep>Cold, calculating blue eyes popped open as Heero awoke, the instant his laptop beeped. It was signaling the start over another mission. 'Hn, Mission..Accepted" he finished memorizing the mission objectives and walked back to the bed, where at this moment a sleeping Duo was sprawled out and sucking on his braid happily. With a slight frown Heero woke the sleeping pilot the only way he knew how, which was none too gently.
<THUNK>
"Ow! Damnit Heero. I do wake like a normal person, you do not have to push me of the bed every fucking morning." Duo growled as he sat up slowly, idally rubbing the slightly red mark that had just made an appearance on his forehead.
"Mission, read it, get dressed, and pack. I'll go wake the others." Heero barked as he shoved the paper in Duo's face. He dropped the paper and watched as it floated gently downward, and then proceeded to march out the door and slam it behind him.
"And just when I thought he had reached rock-bottom, he goes and does this. And digs a little deeper." With a slight sigh he picked up the objectives and stated to scan them.
To pilots 01-05;
From DR's
Your mission, (and I don't care whether you want to accept it, your doing it, so suck it up) is to pose as five cheerleaders from Westclot High School. You will proceed to go to the annual UCA cheerleading camp. Once there you must participate in all activities, as well as gather information on the UCA camp director. Your 'uniforms' will be delivered at 7:30am sharp. You must be at Westclot High, see directions inclosed, no later then 9:00am. The bus leaves at 9:30am and if it is missed it will be considered a mission failure. At the end of camp, a full mission report from each is expected as well as the information on the camp director, is expected. That is all. Have fun!
The Docs"NANI?!" Duo shrieked as he read the report that outlined their mission. He couldn't quite believe it. But there it was, in black and white.
"Ok-ay, it's official. They are on crack!" he muttered as he shifted back on his heels to stand up. He just shook his head as he grabbed his well worn duffle and started throwing in clothes. He noticed out of the corner of his eye that Heero had already pulled out his bag, but had not started to pack yet, he was probably too busy waking the others.
"NANI?!" A shout rang out. Duo snickered as he recognized the voice as Wufei's. He couldn't really blame him, but it was funny nonetheless. Wufei was not 'fond' of women and here he was being sent to a place where it was going to be *all* women. Heero stalked in and glared at Duo briefly before starting to pack.
"What did I do this time?" Duo asked, his voice sounding tired already. It seemed as if sometimes all he did was annoy Heero. Heero looked up with a puzzled expression across his face.
"Huh? Oh nothing koi, I'm sorry. This mission just seems to be a waste of our time." Duo gave a small smile at his koibito's words and walked over to where Heero had paused in his packing.
"I know, but think of it this way, camp with means no supervisors, and lots of time for us. And..lots of exercise? The perfect Soldier likes exercise, right." At this Duo wiggled his eyebrow suggestively. Heero smiled and put his arms around his lover.
"Yea, your right. Go on, I gotta finish packing." After one more tender hug, Duo grabbed his duffle and walked to the living room, where Wufei was currently glowering.
"Wu-man, what's the matter? Why aren't you packing?" Duo asked as he deposited his duffle near the front door.
"I will not go on this ridiculous mission." Wufei huffed, ignoring the use of the hated nickname.
"So your willing to accept mission failure, and disgrace Nataku." Duo reminded him, at the look on Wufei's face he knew he had won,
"I hadn't thought of it like that. Kisama!! I do not want to do this." Wufei sighed as he accepted defeat.
"Ooooo, do I smell breakfast?!" Duo grabbed Wufei's hand and proceeded to drag a none too happy Wufei into the kitchen behind him.
<DING DONG>
"I'LL GET IT!!!" A hyper Duo dashed through the hallway and missed Trowa sticking his head out of one of the doors. There was a resounding smack and Duo squealed happily.
"Guys!!! The uniforms are here." Trowa, whose head was still out the door, smiled slightly and grabbed his lover pulling him towards the living room. A few seconds later all five pilots were gathered in the living room, and four were watching Duo bounce from foot to foot by a large cardboard box.
"Go ahead Duo," Heero gave the braided boy permission to open the box. With an undignified squeal (A. N. Duo + expresso = aggg!!!) and started trying to open the box. After 3 seconds of struggling he gave up trying to open it the normal way and just completely tore the top off of the giant box. Duo hunkered down next to the topless box and started rummaging through the box, spilling oddly colored items everywhere. As sudden;y as he started Duo stopped, and looked up confusion etched into his face. Slowly he raised his arms and clutched in his hands were two, skirts.
<Beep, beep, beep>
As the other pilots looked at the scraps of material that Duo was holding Heero went back to his computer, and to the great surprise of the others a small gasp was heard, and even a small giggle. Four sets of eyebrows shot into the air as Heero walked in holding another piece of paper. He seemed to be suppressing a giggle as he told them the reason behind the new paper and the skirts.
"Trowa, Duo, you have to ::choke:: be ::gasp:: girls ::snicker:: for this mission." At this news the two spoken of pilots blanched and Heero promptly fell to the ground laughing. Quatre and Wufei looked at each other and shrugged, then smirked, then giggled, and finally fell to the floor next to Heero.
"Uh huh. No Way!!! I am not going to go as a girl. I am the God of Death. Not the Goddess of Death." Duo whimpered. He couldn't believe this was happening to him. Trowa looked slightly green and sat down on the floor with a thunk. Heero tried to pull himself together, but couldn't quite manage to hide his smile/smirk as he walked over to comfort his love.
"Think of it this way, they won't freak out when we're together then."
"But Heero, do you actually think they will still let us room together?" Duo mumbled into his lover's arms. At that Heero quirked an eyebrow.
"Hmm I did not think of that." Wufei looked at the clock and decided it was time to interrupt the, well, 'conversations.
"It is 8:00, if we don't leave in the next 10 minutes we are going to be late." The four other boys looked at the clock and gasped. The next few minutes was a blur of flying clothes and dashing pilots. Somehow in record time all five pilots were able to pile into the car that they had stolen the week before. Trowa still seemed to be in a state of shock while Duo had settled for sitting in his seat by Heero and pouting.
<45 minutes later>
"Wufei, you are never allowed to driver *ever* again. I cannot believe you almost ran over that poor old lady," Quatre chided as Wufei careened around another corner.
"She was in my way," was all the Chinese boy would say. Duo slowly pulled his head away from Heero's chest, where he had been hiding the whole time.
"Are we there yet?" his eyes were dull and lifeless. Quatre felt true pity for the braided boy. He knew that people always thought Duo was a girl, which made him perfect for this mission, but at the same time struck a vicious blow to the young boy's self-confidence.
"We should be there any minute, the way Wufei drives we could have just left and still be there in plenty of time." Trowa filled in, ever since he had gotten to know them all better he had become much more talkative, which for Trowa meant he said about three sentences a day. Wufei glared at Trowa in response, and then sped up to catch a light, but ended up skidding to a stop as the light turned red.
"Oof, Wufei. You are going to get us killed." Heero mumbled after barely keeping Duo from flying through the window due to the sudden stop, and lack of seat belt.
"Hn," was the response Heero recieved. After two more crazy turns they fially pulled up in front of a building that looked suspiciously like a school. Outside the building near the parking lot was a bus and a small cluster of teenage girls who were dressed in one outfit that the soon to be girls had. As the five...er three boys and two *girls* climbed out of the van they were greeted with 10 staring girls, and one hyper looking coach.
"Ah ha, you must be...hold on a second. Oh Wufei, Heero, Quatre, Desi, and Tonya." The coach looked happy as the two newly named girls tried very hard not to choke at their new names. They all nodded and looked on as people began to introduce themselves.
"Lisa,"
"Monica,"
"Tiffany,"
"Erin,"
"Erica,"
"Courtney,"
"Tessa,"
"Anna,"
"Savannah,"
"Kalli,"
The one named Tiffany struted up to Heero and put her hand on his chest,
"Ooo, your so strong you are going to be a big help." She flirted outrageously as Duo..er Desi tried to contain his...damnit her anger.
"Oh Tiff, back off. From the looks of it he and Desi seemed to be involved." Courtney interrupted and smiled as the two shot her grateful looks, "But I do think you guys should go get changed don't you?"
All the pilots looked mildy miffed as they had no idea what they were suppost to change into and where they were suppost to go and change. At the miffed looks Courtney smiled again and beackoned to them to follow her. Once in front of two large door she paused and grabbed Duo's/Desi's bag and shuffled through it. After a few minutes she mumbled something that sounded like 'ah ha' and pulled out the obnoxious skirt and some strange looking top.
"Desi, you and Tonya wear these, I'm sure you have an identical one in your bag Tonya. Let me see your bag Heero," Heero silently handed over his bag to the bubbly girl and waited for her to pull out what the 'guys were going to wear. He was rewarded with a pair of pants and a tee-shirt that looked to be clingier then even his spandex (A. N. I know, not possible but bear with me.)
The whole ensemble was forest green and black, at least they were his colors. The uniform that Duo/Desi held was in the same colors but had a pleated skirt and a mid-riff showing top. The pilots looked at each other and then filed wordlessly into the two doors, somehow the two 'girls' remembered to go in the other door. Courtney looked at where her new teammates had been, then shrugged and walked outside to join her friends.
Ten minutes later a *very* disgruntled looking Duo stalked out of the girl's bathroom, followed by an extremely red Trowa. Both were wearing the outfits that had been assigned to them. Those outfits consisted of a very short skirt in green with a black trim, that barely reached mid-thigh when held down. A tank top, shell, that left a nice expense of smooth stomach available to anyone near in the same green with black trim, some very tight looking green briefs, and ridiculous looking socks with strange color-coded shoes. Each stood there quietly fuming in their humlilation. Even though it was in truth only a matter of minutes, but to the pilots it felt like years and years had gone by before the others came out. They were each wearing black pants that had a green stripe running down each leg. Tee-shirts that were the same green color with black trim. Both...er sexes had "TIGERS" written across their chests in silver. With a sigh each grabbed the hand of their partner, Trowa and Quatre, Heero and Duo, and Wufei just sulking, and headed outside.
"Oh good, you guys are ready. We have to go now." the coach called as she climbed onto the travel bus the school had rented for them. With one final look at their only hope of escape, the car, the five, er, three boys, er screw it, pilots, climbed on board.
The seating arrangments ended up really strange, namely every pilot ended up sitting next to a cheerleader. Duo was lucky he ended up next to Courtney who he seemed to get along with. Heero on the other hand ended up sitting next to Tiffany, Quatre next to Savannah, Trowa next to Erica, and poor Wufei next to Tessa. As each cheerleader looked hungrily at Duo and Trowa for initiation's and such, and Quatre, Heero and Wufei because of their gender. As the pilots looked at each other for support, there were two sets of collective thoughts; the pilots thought "Oh God! This is going to be a looong trip," and the girls "Ooooo fun!!!"
<6 hours later>
Five gundam pilots all sat in their seats rocking back and forth slightly, it had been a horrifing trip. First, no one would shut up, after 2 hours the pilots knew more about stunting,jumps, kicks, and cheers then they ever wanted to know. Too bad their mission had just started. The next four hours were occupied with Duo having to continually get people away from his hair, Heero having to disentangle Tiffany from him *again*, Wufei ranting about justice to anyone who would listen, Trowa ignoring one girl, Kalli's, fascination with his gravity-defying bangs, and Quatre being fussed over by the rest.
"Ok, listen up girls. Um, and guys, here are your room assignments. Monica and Tiffany in room 1501, Lisa and Erin in 1502, Savannah and Tessa in 1503, Kalli and Erica room 1504, Anna and Courtney in 1505, Desi and Tonya in 1506, I will be in 1507, Heero and Quatre in 1508, Wufei you are on your own in 1509. That's all. Oh and no one of the opposite sex in your rooms, at all under any circumstances." At this Heero exchanged a glance with Duo, who nearly grinned, after all they were the same sex.
