“So what classes are you in?”
Quatre asked as Duo took a seat across from him at

youth answered, paying more attention to his lunch than much else.
“That's a rather generic
title,” Wufei murmured. His first impression of the school had been

“Yeah, ya
see,” Duo said, grabbing the bottle and tossing it up in the air, “bottle goes
up--!”
His demonstration was foiled
however when Wufei stood and snatched the projectile
mid-motion.
