NEWS FLASH: NO ONE WAS HURT IN THE PRODUCTION OF THIS FIC.
AN: Okay?I know it?s late?but?ummm?I had a bad case of the DREADED WRITERS BLOCK!!!
MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH?
*looks around scared-like* Why does that always happen why I say that? *shakes head*?Oh well?I hope everyone likes this chapter!!
?Is he still following us?? Heero asked tensely.
?Yes.? Relena said as she caught sight of her brothers SUV in the side mirror of Heero?s sports car. The boy at the wheel frowned in concentration.
?Relena, I?m going to try to lose him, you need to put on your seat belt, okay?? Relena gulped and reached for the belt. This didn?t beneficial to her health.
?O?KAAAY!? The last part ended in a shriek as Heero stomped on the gas. The car shot forward like a red bullet. Heero turned onto a side street going so fast that the back wheels slid around. At this point Relena noticed the insane gleam of pleasure in Heero?s blue eyes. She was sure she was going to die.
?HA! You can?t keep up with Wing can you?? Heero taunted the receding image of his teacher?s headlights.
He smiled over at Relena and noticed for the first time that she was huddled in the seat with her arms raised protectively over her head. She seemed to be chanting, ?I?m going to die...I don?t want to die!?
Heero reached over and touched her knee. Relena?s head never left the safety of her arms, but she did stop chanting long enough to yell at him.
?Heero don?t you dare take one finger off that wheel or I swear a traffic accident will be the least of your worries!? Heero laughed but removed his hand from her knee.
?So, what do you want to do tonight?? He asked the silent girl. Relena could feel the car underneath her decrease in speed so she slowly sat up. Heero watched Relena tap her chin thoughtfully out of the corner of his eye. He felt a small smile form on his lips at the sight.
?I?ve only really known her for a few days?yet I feel like I?ve know her forever.?
Relena didn?t notice Heero looking at her; she was too busy figuring out what she wanted to do on so rare a night of freedom.
?We could go bowling?but I don?t want him to see how horrible I?m at that?we could go to that new sushi place on 4th street. Hmmm?what if he doesn?t like sushi? And I?ve already eaten although chocking down food that Milli cooked can hardly be called eating. Or we could just go see a movie?but that?s so clich??Erg?I don?t know what to do?If only this wasn?t so awkward.?
?I don?t know. What do you want to do?? She asked him back. Heero glanced at her trying to figure out what the blonde girl next to him might want to do on a first date.
?Duo suggested bowling, but only because he knows I can?t get that stupid ball down that run way thing?I could take her to that sushi place that just opened on 4th but?raw fish? What if she thinks it?s gross? I could see if she wants to see a movie?but what if she thinks I?m just cheap?
?I don?t really care,? he shrugged nonchalantly, ?Do you have anything you really want to do?? Relena bit her lip and tried not to sigh in frustration at the circles this conversation was going in.
?I don?t care either, I just want to have fun with you.? She looked over at him and tried not to blush. Heero quirked his eyebrow up at her words, then he began to nervously drum his fingers on the steering wheel.
?I guess I?ll go with tradition. Maybe something good will be playing tonight.?
?Well, would you like to go to a movie?? He asked tentatively. Relena sighed and relaxed into the cool leather of her seat. Now that the decision had been made she felt like she could breathe easy. Relena smiled over at him and reached for the dial to turn up the radio.
?I?d like that very much, Heero.?
?Your telling me that xXx is sold out?? Heero asked the woman behind the glass ticket counter. She sighed and placed her head in her hands in pure anguish.
?Yes, like I?ve said twenty-three times kid, the only think not sold out is Lilo and Stitch. Now, do you want the tickets or not?? Heero?s eyebrow began to twitch. Relena took this as a bad sign and finally intervened.
?We?ll see that one ma?am. Please give us two tickets.? The look the woman sent her was one of gratitude mixed with annoyance. Relena sighed and took a ten-dollar bill from Heero?s hand.
?That will be 8 dollars miss. Enjoy your movie.? The woman wasted no time giving them their change and sending the troublesome couple on their way.
?We will enjoy it thank you!? She took the tickets from the small tray that held them. Heero still looked like he wanted to protest but Relena grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the line and towards the door of the theater.
?Don?t act like such a baby Heero, Hilde told me that she really liked this movie when she brought her little cousin to see it last week.?
?But Relen-? He had finally gotten up enough wits to protest.
?I?m going to find us some good seats. You can buy the popcorn?Oh and get some of those sour fruit thingies!? she pushed him toward the long line for concessions. But Heero wouldn?t let himself be pushed.
?Relena?? he started again.
?I know what you?re going to say. You don?t want to watch this one?but for lack of more imagination?there?s nothing else for us to d?? Heero stopped her with a finger pressed to her lips. He leaned close enough that she could feel his warm breath fanning her check.
?Relena make sure it?s a dark corner, I don?t plan on actually watching this movie.? He smirked at the blush that crawled over her cheeks. Heero dropped his finer from her lips and turned in the direction of the snack counter.
The lights were dimming as Heero sat down beside Relena. She was still blushing from his comment earlier, but he noticed that she had picked the most isolated seats in the theater. He handed her a drink and those offal sour things she had asked for. Heero propped the popcorn between them so that they could share and settled down to watch the latest Disney magic come to life on the big screen.
The lights dimmed farther and Relena felt Heero?s arms slip around her shoulder.
?Why did he have to go and say that? Now I feel all nervous again!? she thought as she took a long sip of the drink he had brought her. She didn?t flinch away from his touch, but her cheeks flamed even more at the feel of his arm wrapping around her shoulder. Heero took this as a good sign and became bolder, as the opening credits began to play; he leaned over and kissed her cheek. Relena turned toward him with a glare, and slapped his arm lightly.
?I want to watch the movie!? She felt more than heard his laughter as he shifted closer to her in his seat. He managed to catch her eye and was leaning down to kiss her slightly opened lips when a small blonde blur streaked past him.
?RE-LEN-A!!? The blur jumped up onto Relena?s lap and knocked Heero back away from her in the process. Heero rubbed his head and sat even farther back in his seat to avoid more serious injury from the bouncing child who had taken possession of Relena?s lap. Relena was trying to catch her breath back after the flying assault the child had landed to her chest had forced it out.
?Sylvie! What are you doing here?? She managed to ask the young girl who was trying to squeeze all the newly acquired air out of her lungs.
?I came to watch the movie with my mommy! She?s right down there!? The little five year old pointed towards a woman sitting a few rows down. She waved up at Relena with a hopeful expression. Relena felt an ominous feeling rise up in the pit of her stomach.
?Mommy wants to know if I can sit with you, because she has to go to the bathroom because the new baby makes her have to go potty and I don?t want to go, because I don?t want to miss any of this movie, because Mari Krushrenada said it was good, and Mommy takes to long because of the new baby because?I don?t know why?she just takes a realllllllly looooooong time, and then Mommy saw you, and she said I didn?t have to go if you said I could sit with you, and so can it?! Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh?!?? Sylvie punctuated each ?huh? with a little bounce. Relena sighed and looked over at Heero. She then looked back down at Mrs. Noventa and back at Sylvie in her lap. Relena couldn?t deny the pleading looks in both their eyes so she turned and mouth ?I?m sorry? to Heero then nodded to the girl?s mother. Heero?s eyes went wide in something that could only be labeled fear when Sylvie grinned hugely over at him and stuck her hand into the popcorn.
It was going to be a long movie.
As it happened Sylvie stayed with them through the whole movie. This caused Heero much pain and suffering because whenever he made a move to get closer to Relena the brat interfered. She even bit him once when he tried to put his arm back around Relena?s shoulders. The movie was surprisingly good, he even found himself whipping some moister out of his eyes at the end, but Heero blamed that on his allergy to children.
The lights came back on overhead and Sylvie drug Relena down to were her mother was waiting on them. Heero followed at a slower pace, not really wanting to meet the brat?s mother. Relena leaned in and gave the older woman a warm hug and patted the little girl on the head. Heero watched as she laughed at something the mother said to her. He felt like smiling just from hearing the sound?then he caught sight of the devil in child costume and all desire to smile faded.
Relena made her way back to the scowling Heero a few minutes later. She didn?t know whether to laugh or cry with the way their date had gone so far.
?I?m so very sorry that happened Heero.? She said when she noticed the pained expression on his face. He tried to smile at her as he rubbed the bruise on his arm. It came out as more of a grimace.
?Did I ever tell you that I?m allergic to children?? his voice had a dull quality to it that made Relena nervous.
?No?you never mentioned that.? She walked along beside him back to the car in silence.
?Heero, are you mad?? She asked hesitantly. He sighed and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
?No, I?m not mad, just wondering if I need a shot after getting bit by that?that?monster.? He raised his arm and examined the invisible bite marks in his arm. Relena swatted his arm and relaxed. She pulled his hand up and looked at his watch to see how late it had gotten.
?I have 2 hours before I have to be home. Want to take me for a pizza??
Surly the rest of the date couldn?t turn out that bad could it?
AN!!!
Okay first off?I know this was the most OOC chapter to date. My only defense is?ummm?Heero hasn?t been trained to kill?so he?s not all?unfeeling like?.
*hides from the barrage of blunt objects thrown her way*
This isn?t my fault. Rice Ball, my devious muse told me what to write. It?s his fault!!!
*points to the ball of rice with legs sitting beside the compy*
ummm?What else was I suppose to do here??erg?I know some one had a question?*sigh* I?ll try to answer it next time I guess?
Oh, I don?t own xXx?or Lilo and Stitch?I haven?t even seen xXx?but Lilo and Stitch is the very best Disney movie to date with the exceptions of The Emperors New Grove and Mulan?ummm I own nothing?
Anyway, FYI I?ll post a chapter in this story every other week?giver or take a day or two. The opposite week I?m going to send working on my other GW story. As you can tell this part of the story is coming to a close?but please stick around for the next part!!!
Love you all bunchies and bunchies!!!!
