Disclaimer: You only live once so do not murder me, because I am taking characters that are not my lawful property and placing them in my realm of chaos. So I don't own Gundam Wing. I'm just taking my two favourite characters. If I did own Gundam Wing I would continue it.


?Shit,? Hilde muttered under her breath as she came into her room and slammed down her books on her desk.

It had been another hellish day at Preventer Prep. Girls had chased her around the campus again, teachers had loaded her down with homework, and one Duo Maxwell had given her one heck of a razzing. Life was just peachy keen. Hilde snorted at that thought. A knock came at the door. Hilde sighed and flung herself onto her bed.

?Go away,? she yelled

?Ah come on Hil it?s only me,? she could tell it was Quatra on the other side.

Hilde grumbled and then reluctantly got off her bed and opened the door.

?What do ya want?? she growled

Quatra stared at her for a moment and then opened his mouth to speak, ?Well Trowa and myself wanted to know if you would care to join the team for pizza in town??

Hilde looked at him as if he was stupid, ?So that?s all you wanted to know? Well I really can?t. I have a five page essay on ?Why Lear was a Crazy Man? due in English tomorrow.?

Quatra looked dumbfounded, ?Well the offers still there if you want to go.?

Hilde shook her head and then closed the door without saying goodbye. She walked back to the pile of books that sat on her desk. She picked up the copy of Lear and then scowled. The phone rang and she placed the book down on the desk and then answered the phone.

?Hil?s room,? she answered in her best male voice.

"Hilde it?s me, Katie?? the small voice on the other end said.

It scared Hilde that her sister was calling.

?What?s the matter Kat?? Hilde asked

?Oh gods, Mom found out that your at Preventer Prep and isn?t to happy,? Katie spurt out.

Hilde turned pale and dropped the phone. Her mother found out she was impersonating a boy.

?HILDE,? the voice on the other end screamed.

Hilde scrambled to pick up the dropped phone, ?Who told her??

?You know dad?s new girlfriend, well she picked up the phone and mom was on the other end. She was looking for you. Wendy was trying her best to tell her that you were not there,? Katie rattled on.

?But?? Hilde said with some urgency.

?But, somehow Mom wrangled it out of her that you were at Preventer Prep,? Katie said in a soft voice.

?Damn, damn, damn it all to hell,? Hilde cursed. Her cursing continued into German and then to what little Spanish she knew.

?Wow Hilde I never knew you had such a colourful language,? Hilde stopped dead in her speach pattern as the voice of her father came on.

?Sorry papa,? Hilde said embarrassed that he knew she was swearing.

?It?s ok Hilde Bear.?

?Just to make sure tell Wendy that I don?t hate her. I know mom is good at manipulating a situation,? Hilde said with contempt.

?Don?t worry about Wendy. She?s sorry enough and I think she will be glad that you don?t hate her,? her father stated.

?So she?s coming down for parent day?? Hilde sighed as she sat down on her bed.

?Yeah, she wants to see you and take you home to Zimbabwe after Christmas break,? her father sighed as well.

Hilde thought about it for a minute. Maybe going home a Christmas might not be so bad. There would be no Duo Maxwell?s, no homework daily, and no rowing competitions. Hilde stopped at the mention of no rowing competitions.

?She?s not going to take me home. I?m staying here for the duration of the school year,? Hilde said proudly.

?That?s the sprit Hilde-bear,? her father cheered.

~*~

?So what are we going to do about your mother coming her?? Quatra asked her.

Hilde sighed. She could not do this on her own so she had gone to Quatra and Trowa hopping that they could help. She had left out the part about being a girl and that her mother threatened to reveal that to the entire school.

?Well the best thing I could do is not being here. I mean parents are not allowed on the grounds when their child is not here,? she answered.

?Or you could get a restricted guest list,? Trowa mumbled.

?Or you could just play dumb and spend time with your father,? Catherine mentioned as she sat down next to her brother.

?How would that help him? If his parents get within a mile of each other world war three starts,? Trowa said and then pinched his sister. Catherine retaliated by putting the ice left in the bottom of her drink down Trowa?s back. Hilde sighed.

?Oh brother those two are going to start world war three right now,? Quatra said and then smacked his forehead.

They all began to laugh. A small blonde girl appeared next to their table.

?Um excuse me, is Hil Sheikbrecker here?? she said with a smile

?I?m Hil,? Hilde answered

?The headmaster would like to see you,? she replied

The others at the table looked at Hilde as they watched her leave the table.

~*~

?Hil Sheikbrecker, I?m headmaster Tanis Maxwell. Please sit,? Headmaster Maxwell motioned for her to take a seat.

Hilde sat stiffly in the high back leather chair in front of the large desk.

?I don?t know if your father told you this, but he and I go back to our time here at Preventer Prep,? Hilde nodded, ?well I got some news from him that your mother found out you?re here,? Hilde nodded again, ?so what is it that you don?t want your mother to know??

Hilde began to shake but gathered enough courage to talk, ?My mother and father don?t like each other and she?s mad that I chose my father over her. It?s been worse since my little sister Katie decide to live with him.?

?Ah I see,? Tanis rubbed his chin.

Hilde twisted her hands in attempt to hide her fear. She feared that the headmaster would discover her secret.

?Well Hil the best I can offer you is a restricted visitor list. Only your father, your grandmother and your sister can see you on appointed family days. Your calls will also be screened through the front desk. Go on enjoy the rest of the day.?

Hilde let out a sigh and then left the room happy that Headmaster Maxwell had not discovered her secret.

~*~

?So what are you doing for Christmas Quatra?? Hilde asked as they sat on the dock watching as the rest of the team swam in the warm waters of Lake Victoria.

?I don?t celebrate Christmas. I?m Islamic,? he sighed and then tossed as piece of grass he was playing with into the water.

?Oh,? Hilde said and then placed a long blade in her mouth to chew.

?How ?bout you?? he asked.

"I was gonna spend it with my Granny in Johannesburg with my papa and little sister,? she said haphazeredly and copied Quatre's actions.

"So you're stuck here this break here with me?" the blond question.

"Yep," She replied and then flopped on to her stomach.

She watched as the bare chest Duo climbed on top of Millardo?s shoulders and began to wrestle with Heero who was on top of Wu Fei?s. She stared at the chiselled frame for a moment. Quatra caught on to the look.

?Why don?t you admit that you?re attracted to Duo, Hil and get over all this moping that that you are doing? Trowa and I are going absolutely nuts about what to do with you,? Quatra sighed.

Hilde shot him a glance, ?Quatra what do I always tell you I?m??

?Not gay,? he finished for her, ?Why do you keep telling us that when you see a girl or a girl throws herself at your feet you turn her down. Well you must be gay to me,? Quatra said with a pout.

Hilde stared stunned at him for a while, "I just don?t think that I need a relationship right now. I?ve got all the friend I could want and schools a bitch. Plus there is always rowing.?

?Yeah two gay guys and the outcast sister of one of those gay guys. Schools not a bitch you just think it is, you?ve got all the easy course this semester. English, Spanish, German and Biology, four subject in which you excel. You should try my course load. English, Physic, Chemistry and Business. Plus on top of that I have to pick up an extra course in Diplomatic training because I failed last year due to my knee,? He ranted.

?You forgot rowing,? Hilde said in a monotone voice.

"Oh yeah and Hil rowing will not always be there for you. Just look at me, injured knee and years of rehabilitation to go through,? he pointed to his knee.

Hilde sighed and then flipped onto her back. She looked up into the sky and sighed. Quatra was right; rowing was not always going to be there for her.

TBC?
