Okay, this is something I've been working on for a while along with my muse. ::waves to Herve who is still in lurk mode:: Tell me what you think. Should I post more?

Heero glared at Dr. J. How could the man seriously expect him to complete this mission with his very limited experience?
"Do you understand your mission?"
"Hai." Heero replied while he mentally cursed. The man nodded, then opened the door to his lab.
"Then get out of here. I have to another appointment in fifteen minutes that I must prepare for." With that the doctor hastily escorted Heero out the door. Heero scowled at one of the other scientists as he passed him. Pushing the door of the office building open, he walked out into the street and headed home. What was the man thinking? He didn't know the first thing about seducing women!
The mission that Dr. J had set before him was to seduce and date the very popular Miss Relena Darlian. Both she and Heero attended the same school, so he knew who she was. That was the easy part. Getting here to like him enough to date him was another. The only reason he has me going on this ridiculous mission is because she has LOTS of money and he needs the cash for his research projects, Heero thought angrily as he turned a corner.
It had started raining, but Heero hadn't noticed until he was soaking wet. Considering he was wearing only a tank top and spandex shorts, he thought it prudent that he went inside. There was a video store on his right that looked warm and dry enough. Heero walked through the automatic door and stood dripping on the newly placed carpet. Looking about him, he read the name of the store on banner just above the new releases section.
OZ Video Rentals. Everything you ever wanted and then some. The sign proclaimed. Heero shrugged. Suddenly an idea hit him. Walking up to the young Chinese boy reading a magazine on fencing at the counter, Heero cleared his throat.
"Can I help you?" the boy asked not looking up from his magazine. Heero felt embarrassed an uncommon and unwelcome feeling.
"I'm on a mission." He said flatly feeling that at the moment the truth was the best way to start things off with.
"What sort of mission?" The clerk asked raising an eyebrow.
"I must get a girl to date me." He stated. The clerk put down his magazine. Running a hand over his tightly pulled back hair, the clerk sighed. Now that he'd put that blasted magazine down, Heero could read his nametag. It said WUFEI in even block letters.
"I think we have some tapes on how to get a girl to date you. Let me check in the back real quick." Wufei said. He hopped over the counter and proceeded to the back while Heero waited. He returned a few minutes later with a black case. The title read How to Get a Girl, Instructions by Duo Maxwell. Wufei handed the tape to him.
"That one should do it. Do you have an account with us?" Heero shook his head. "Then I'll need you're name, see some ID, and your next of kin."
"Next of kin?"
"Just in case." Heero could guess what for, but didn't want to think of it. Although the idea of seeing Dr. J's legs broken would be damned amusing.
"That tape is a seven day rental. If you want it longer, you'll have to bring it back to renew it. Like you do with library books." Heero nodded that he understood. Glancing out the storefront windows, Heero noticed that the rain had let up enough that he could make his way back home without getting further soaked. Wufei picked up his magazine again and watched Heero leave out of the corner of his eye. A slow smile crept across his face as he watched him disappear. He counted to ten before he heard the automatic doors open again. Glancing up at his next customer, he silently prayed that he could take his lunch break soon.
