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.
Bent over the desk, Hilde tried desperately to reach for her fallen pencil. Grunting and groaning as silently as she could, she was getting nowhere. ?Why don?t I just crawl under there and get it that would be smart? she thought as she notice the professor and many of her class mates had noticed the black hair boy straining for the dropped item. Grinning sheepishly she sat back in her chair hoping that everyone would take their eyes off of her.
?Here you go,? a blond haired girl said with a smile. She was holding the writing utensil in her outstretched hands.
?Thank you,? Hilde replied in her best male voice.
Hilde took the pencil from the blond?s hands and then returned to the equations in front of her.
~*~
Hilde was the first to stand up and leave the room that served as the Chemistry room. Losing the tie at her neck Hilde left the room in a rush. Almost out of the class, a small tap on her shoulder brought her to a halt.
?Um excuse me, you?re Hil Sheikbrecker, right?? the timid voice asked.
?Yes,? Hilde replied sighing internally at the distraction this girl posed.
?I?m Relena Peacecraft. My brother is on the rowing team with you and I?m dating Heero Yuy,? she said extending her hand out in greeting.
Hilde took the hand into hers and gripped it firmly and shook just as her father had taught her.
?It?s nice to meet you Miss Peacecraft,? Hilde replied.
Relena blushed and pulled her hand away, ?Oh Relena is quite fine if you don?t mind Mr. Sheikbrecker,?
?It?s Hil if you don?t mind,? Hilde replied trying to keep a straight face as she continued to act around this girl.
?I was wondering if you have signed up for the Founders Day Cotillion?? she asked still blushing.
Hilde could feel the pressure start to mount at the question. ?Where are Quatre and Trowa when you need them?? she thought as Relena stood there awaiting her answer.
?I wasn?t asking you if that is why you are stalling,? Relena said with a laugh trying to break the tension she felt radiating off the boy in front of her.
?I guess so,? Hilde found herself replying.
?Then I guess you will be sitting with the Rowing Team?? she smiled wider.
Hilde could only nod and then stood there placing her hands in her pockets.
?That?s good to hear. I wanted to know if you are going in a tux or a dress,? she said with a sly smile.
?WHAT?? Hilde?s mind screamed. Scanning the hall, she noticed that they were still filled with kids after the days class so this was not the place to talk about it. Shoving Relena hard, back into the now empty class room and shut the door violently.
?Talk,? Hilde growled out.
?I know Hil. I know you are a girl. I figured it out a few weeks ago when you wouldn?t take off you top when the guy suggested that you guys go swimming. I?ve also noticed a lot of other things that a guy even a gay guy wouldn?t do,? Relena said her smile instantly replaced with a frown.
Hilde began to feel faint and then leaned against the edge of one of the work tables hoping to catch her breath and get a hold on her racing thoughts.
?Are you all right?? Relena asked as Hilde continued to hyperventilate.
?No,? she replied weekly.
There was silence in the Chemistry room as Hilde continued to panic.
?Do you want something? I could get you some water from the hall or a paper bag from the lunch room?? Relena moved towards the door.
?No, don?t go. We still need to talk,? Hilde gasped.
Relena nodded and then came to stand in front of Hilde.
?Who else knows?? Hilde found herself asking.
?No one else,? she replied and then looked down at her feet.
Hilde sighed, running a hand through the short and slightly curling short black hair. She then proceeded to rub her face in frustration as her thoughts and mind were in overdrive.
?If it helps, I?ve stolen a few cars and went for a few joyrides last year,? Relena stated in attempts to get the small boy/girl to look at her.
Hilde began to giggle, ?You?? she questioned pointing and looking up at the blond who was roughly the same height as her.
Relena nodded and then looked down at her feet.
?Not possible,? Hilde replied finally dropping the deep voice.
?I did it with Duo last cool season break. We were bored and since we were like the only people here cause our since his father is the Dean and my family has lived on the property for like a hundred and fifty years. We decide to jack some cars and go for a ride into town,? Relena said with a defensive shrug.
Hilde looked wide eyed at the girl in front of her, ?You?re not kidding are you??
Relena nodded and then smiled, ?So now that I know your secret you know mine.?
Hilde bobbed her head up and down. She then returned the smile that Relena had given her.
?So about the Founder?s Day Cotillion??
?I?m gonna wear a tux and go as Hil,? Hilde replied interrupting Relena.
Relena smiled and then looked down at her feet, ?So what is your real name??
Hilde smiled, ?My name is Hilde.?
?Well it?s nice to meet you Hilde,? Relena replied and then left the room.
~*~
?Why didn?t dad teach me to tie a bow tie before I left,? Hilde sighed and then attacked the black straps around her neck again.
?Hil it?s me,? a voice on the other side of Hilde?s closed door cried.
?Come in,? Hilde replied as she recognized the voice.
?Hey how?s it going?? Relena asked popping her head in from the door.
?Fine I guess,? Hilde replied and then tried to attempt to attack the straps once again.
?Where is Heero?? Hilde asked look at Relena and then at the no shut door.
?Got called home cause his grandmother just died,? Relena said and then flopped down on Hilde?s bed and watched Hilde continue to get dress.
Relena sighed as she watched her new best friend attempt and fail all over again.
?Tsk, tsk Hil a proper man would know how to tie a bow tie,? Relena said mocking her friend as she entered into the room fully now.
?I?m not every man,? Hilde growled and then threw her arms up in the air in defeat.
?I?ll never tie this damn knot,? she gritted out and then leaned her head against the wall.
?Lemme me do it,? Relena said taking the straps and began to tie the bow for her.
?Where did you learn to do this?? Hilde asked as she watched her new friend tie the knot swiftly and with precision.
?My father taught me how to do it,? she continued to tie the bow, ?I used to watch him while he would get dressed for functions. I just guess one day he taught me. It helps that Mil my older brother still can?t tie them and always calls to me to come tie them.?
Hilde giggled and Relena stuck her tong out as she finished the bow.
?There you go Mr. Hil,? Relena said with a smile.
Hilde turned to look in the mirror. She was amazed at how she looked. ?Nothing like a girl? she thought and then frowned. Relena noticed and gave Hilde a concerned look.
?What?s the matter Hil?? she asked.
Hilde shook her head and then turned to face the girl who in the past two weeks had become a close friend.
?Are you sure?? Relena asked again.
Hilde nodded and then turned back to the mirror. She glanced at the shapeless figure and then looked to Relena who was dressed in a white silk corset with a white ballerina tutu that reached just under her knee. On her feet she wore the daintiest white point shoes with the ribbon laced all the way up her calf.
?God I look hideous next to you,? Hilde replied in a disgusted voice.
?Well you?re the one who was going to go as a boy, but in that tux I say you don?t look half bad,? Relena said placing her hands on her hips.
Hilde ran a hand through the shot gelled hair and Relena frowned, ?Don?t mess that up otherwise you will look even worse.?
?Thanks for the vote confidences there Relena,? Hilde retorted back sarcastically.
"You?re very welcome,? Relena replied with a mocking grin.
A knock on the door startled the two. Relena?s eyes flicked to Hilde and then Hilde cleared her throat and then replied in her somewhat man voice, ?Who is it??
?It?s me, Quatre,? the voice on the other side of the door replied.
?Come in,? Relena said with a giggle as Hilde coughed trying to answer after the shock of Quatre.
The blonde haired rowing caller entered the room and looked over the red and still coughing Hil and the smiling, giggling Relena Peacecraft.
?You two look ravishing tonight,? Quatre replied to the two.
?Pish posh Quatre, you are only saying that to me because Heero couldn?t make it tonight and asked you to escort me,? Relena said with a sly grin.
?Any ways you?re taken Quatre and I?m not gay so don?t look at me like that,? Hilde rasped out trying to catch her breath.
Quatre smiled and then patted Hilde on the back, ?You?re right, but I still think you are gay.?
?I wouldn?t be too quick to judge on that fact Quatre,? Relena stated in Hilde?s defence.
Quatre shook his head and then offered his arm to Relena knowing that getting in a fight with the woman was not a good idea tonight. He opened the door to Hilde?s room and led her out. Hilde followed soon after.
~*~
It was drab and dull much like the many affairs her mother had dragged her too while they were staying in New York. They all were the same. Young ladies dressed in white fluffy dresses, some more ostentatious then the next girl; some looked as if to be wearing lingerie. Those girls, Hilde noted, were the ones that seemed to hang off Duo Maxwell in all this arrogant glory. Moaning she stated to walk away from the girl who was blubbering about nothing next to her and headed for the washroom. She needed to escape.
It was the sound of a woman?s angered shouts that made Hilde jump and turn back to the party.
?I want to see my daughter right now,? the loud voice stated over the soft music of the band on stage.
?Miss the person you are looking for does not come to this school,? what look to be the Dean?s secretary said trying to hold the woman from barging into the gym where the Cotillion was taking place.
?I need to see Hilde right now,? she stated and then pushed the woman into the wall and stamped into the gym.
Relena caught the use of her friends real name and then disengaged herself from her dance partner and headed over to Hilde?s locked position at the far end of the room.
?Who?s that?? Relena asked and then pointed to a woman dressed in a pale violet dress searching the room with careful eyes and a picture to boot.
?My Mom,? Hilde replied with fear set in her eyes.
