Chapter 4 - Forgetfulness

 

 Before waiting for an answer the blonde girl turned on her heels and stalked up the stairs, straight to Trowa’s room.  The banged pilot was sitting on his bed, reading.

 

“Hey Trowa!” Cassie chirped, entering the room and plopping on his bed.  “What’s up?”

 

He glanced up at her and smiled slightly, then went back to his book.  Cass’ eye twitched.

 

Whatcha reading?” She asked, leaning forward to try to read the title.

 

“…” Was her response. 

 

“Wow, descriptive.”

 

He held up the book a bit so she could read the title, then lowered it back down to its former position.

 

“Is it any good?”

 

“…”

 

“Wow, Trowa!  Don’t give too much away!”

 

A small smirk.

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

“…c’mere.” Cassie said, beckoning Trowa closer with her finger.

 

Trowa leaned forward, eyebrows raised.

 

Cass proceeded to slap him upside the head.

 

“Ow!” He yelped, immediately pulling away and frowning.

 

“Quit that!  God gave you vocal cords to talk!” She yelled, crossing her arms and glaring. 

 

Trowa blinked a few times, then raised an eyebrow.  “Was that really necessary?” He asked, pouting slightly.

 

“Yes,” Cassie snapped.  “You’re making me all twitchy.”

 

Trowa’s eyebrow went up a bit further.  “What did I do?”

 

“Long story, short—you’re acting weird.  I might not know you personally, but I DO know you don’t mysteriously go quiet like this and come up with stupid nicknames like “little one”.  I suggest you go downstairs and apologize to Quatre before he flips out again.” She explained, her tone firm.

 

Trowa blinked, then…”I called him what?!”

 

“Exactly!”

 

“He’s far from little,” Trowa muttered to himself, and Cassie couldn’t help but grin.  “I don’t even remember doing that.”

 

It was Cassie’s turn to blink.  “You don’t?”

 

“Not…really.  I remember last night, and then it becomes a blur….” Trowa explained slowly.

 

“That’s just great,” Cass said with a grimace.  Juuuuust wonderful.”

 

“I’m sorry?” Trowa said, raising an eyebrow.

 

Cass waved her hand at him.  “No, no…it’s not your fault, I think.  It’s just…scary.”

 

“Scary.” Trowa repeated flatly.

 

“Yeah…”  Cass nodded, then proceeded to explain the stereotypes to him.

 

Quatre is not little,” He muttered again.  “Or weak, or innocent…”

 

“That’s my point,” Cassie said.  “But it seems some fangirls don’t seem to get that.  I’d like to slap the people who started it,” She mumbled.

 

“I think I better go apologize to Quatre,” Trowa said, marking his place in the book and standing up.

 

Cassie stood up too, smiling.  “Good idea.  I’m going to check something on my laptop, so I’ll be down in a few minutes.”

 

The two separated at the doorway, and Cassie nearly ran to her room.  That fic has to have something to do with it!  She thought, logging in and bringing up the file.

 

She scanned the fic until she found where she left off, then started reading….

 

“HOLY SHIT!”

 

 

***

 

 

Everyone glanced towards the doorway as they heard the loud exclamation.

 

“Was that…?” Quatre started.

 

“Who else here has such…colorful language?” Wufei retorted, both eyebrows shooting up at a particular nasty round of curses.

 

“Impressive.” Duo muttered.

 

Trowa appeared in the doorway, head turned to look up the stairs.  He glanced back at the others at the table.

 

“What did you say to her?” Duo asked.

 

I didn’t say anything,” Trowa responded, stepping in and heading towards Quatre; the blonde quickly picked up the paper and acted as if he didn’t notice.  :”She said she wanted to look up something for coming back downstairs.”

 

They all listened as the cursing switched from English to Japanese.

 

Heero, who had been on his way into the kitchen, paused and glanced up the stairs.  He blinked a few times, then turned to the rest of the boys. “What—“

 

“We don’t know.” Duo sighed, leaning back in his chair.

 

“Maybe one of us should go check on her?” Wufei suggested.

 

They all stared at him.  “What?!”

 

“’Fei, don’t you know you should NEVER mess with a girl when she’s pissed?” Duo scolded, waving his finger.  “She’ll bite your head off!”

 

“Honestly, she can’t be that dangerous.”

 

Everyone paused to listen again.

 

“…or maybe we should just wait until she calms down and comes downstairs on her own.”

 

 

~~~

 

 

Noooooooo!” Alex wailed dramatically, slumping over her keyboard.  “Writer’s block!”

 

“Shut up!” A muffled voice replied from downstairs, followed by a door slamming.

 

“Bite me, Bobby!” She retorted, scowling at her open door.  “Jerk.”

 

Alexandria,” Her mother appeared in the doorway, clutching her robe around her neck and shoulders.  “I think its bedtime.”

 

Aww, but Mama!” She whined, whirling all the way around and giving the woman her patented “Puppy-dog” look; known to be successful against dissuading parents when it came to bedtimes and other things.

 

“Nice try with the look, but no.  Bedtime, young lady!  You have school in the morning!” And with that, her mother disappeared down the hallway.

 

“This bites,” She mumbled, pouting as she turned to log off her computer.  “Maybe I’ll get some ideas at school tomorrow.”

 

 

~~~

 

 

Cass emerged from the stairs after about an hour; the loud cursing had stopped 20 minutes in, but as Duo had gone by the stairs to investigate, he could distinctly hear her colorful language filtering down the hallway from her room.

 

She blinked as she entered the empty kitchen.  “Where is everyone?” She wondered, back-stepping out and heading towards the living room; empty.

 

“Guys?” She called, slowly wandering around the first floor.  They weren’t there, either.

 

Stepping outside and onto a small porch, she wrapped her arms around herself as the wind blew past.  It must have been mid-October here; the trees were starting to thin as leaves browned and fell, littering the ground.  “Guys?”

 

She briefly wondered where the Gundams were hidden as she stepped further out on the porch.  There was a forest a few hundred feet behind the house with large, rocky mountains looming over it; the sun was directly behind it, peeking over the tops.

 

“Wow,” She breathed, leaning on the railing in front of her.  “It’s so beautiful…”

 

“Isn’t it?” Someone said behind her.

 

Cassie screamed and whirled around, fists raised in a defense position.  Wufei chuckled and waved his hands placatingly.  “Sorry, I didn’t mean to frighten you.”

 

“It’s okay,” Cass replied, lowering her fists and smiling.  “Where is everyone?”

 

“Maxwell and Yuy went into town for supplies,” He replied, stepping up next to her to lean on the railing.  “And Trowa and Quatre are…making up, so to speak.”

 

“And you’re not making up with them?” Cassie replied—then immediately slapped her hands over her mouth.  Bad girl!  No cookie!

 

Wufei blushed and turned slightly.  “I uhh…just left them.” He admitted.

 

Cassie couldn’t help but snicker, then softened and look back at the surroundings.  “So exactly where are we in the world?”

 

Colorado, USA.”

 

“No wonder it’s so cold!”

 

“Not used to the cold?” Wufei teased.

 

“Let me put it this way:  Back home, it was 80 degrees.  Here, it’s got to be at least 50!” Cassie explained, wrapping her arms around herself again tightly.  “We aren’t due for cold weather for another month.”

 

“I see.  Then you should get inside before you catch a cold.” The Chinese pilot replied, eyeing her T-shirt.

 

Cass snorted.  “And miss out on admiring the Colorado Mountains?  Yeah right.” She replied, turning back to the forest.  “I’ve never seen it before, so I’ll risk getting sick.”

 

Wufei shrugged and headed back towards the door.  “If you say so.  Quatre says dinner’s at 6, so don’t go wandering off if you expect to eat,” He explained, stepping inside.  He paused and turned around.  “…and don’t go wandering in the rooms upstairs, either.”

 

Cassie whirled around and glared at him.  “What’s THAT supposed to mean?”

 

Wufei smirked.  “You seem to enjoy your ‘fanfiction’ a lot, by the looks of the one you let us read the night you appeared, and how well you explained it afterwards.  How do we know you aren’t going to spy on us?”

 

“Reading it and seeing it are two different things,” Cassie said dryly, eyes narrowed.

 

Wufei chuckled.  “I was joking.  See you at dinner,” And with that, he disappeared into the house.

 

Cassie shook her head and laughed lightly, then turned back to the view.

 

“….wasn’t I looking for them for a reason?”  She thought aloud suddenly, blinking.

 

“…aww, crap!”
