Kai was reading a book on human psychology while the others agrued about who would do what. Their next mission required three of them to go under cover in a broading school and the other three would go under cover as OZ soldiers. Kai knew she would be one of the students, it wasn't as stressful. They were agruing on who else would go.
"I'm not going to be a girl. So you can count me out." Duo said. The plan was to have two girl and one guy. It would make it seem less obvious. Kai didn't care. She was going to enroll a day before the other two.
"You volunted first, Duo. Besides, with your long hair, I'm sure you would make a great girl." Wufei said. Kai sighed. They had been going at it for three hours now. She was getting fed up. She stood up. Everyone looked up at her.
"Fine. I'm going to pick, because you guys can't seem to make up your minds. Quatre, you and Duo will enter after me. And that's final." Kai said as she got up and walked out of the room. All five guys sat in amazment. They had pushed Kai too far. Now all they had to do was figure out who was going to be the girl.
Kai had gone to bed early that night. Their constant agruement gave her a headache. In the morning, she dressed in her school uniform and grabbed many of her dresses. She knew exactly who was going to be the other girl, whether he liked it or not.
"Morning Kai." Quatre said as she walked into the kitchen. She threw the extra dresses at Duo.
"You'll need them, Dianna." Kai commanded. Duo looked at her funny.
"We decided that Quatre would be...." Duo started.
"Quatre doesn't have time to get enough dress that fit him in a day. You and I are the same size. Now, if you would like, I'll be the guy and you two can be the girls." Kai said. She sounded very anger. Quatre shook his head.
"No, I believe you would make a better girl than me anyways." Quatre said. Kai looked at the blonde boy and smiled. She looked back to the braided baka.
"Do you have any objections, Duo?" Kai said, glaring daggers at him. Duo shook his head.
"No, ma'am." Duo said quickly.
"I'll see you two tommorrow then." Kai said as she walked out the door and left. As soon as she was out of the door, Wufei bursted into laughter.
"Besides, you make the better girl anyways, Maxwell." Wufei laughed as he walked out of the kitchen. Duo blushed and glared at the absent chinese boy.
Kai stood in the school office for her schedual. Once she was given her schedual, a student helped her to her home room. The student was a dark haired boy who talked too much.
"Kathlene Mai? What kingdom are you from?" The boy said.
"I'm from one of the space colonies." Kai said. The boy looked at her in shock.
"Really? What are you doing on Earth then?" The boy said.
"I appear to be going to a school." Kai replied. They arrived at her homeroom.
"Are you into horseback riding Kathlene?" The boy said.
"Yeah. Why?" Kai asked.
"Well, here we have a really good stable and we need a good rider to take our new horse to competition. Would you consider it?" The boy asked.
"Why are you asking me?" Kai said.
"Well the girl that was suppose to go got broke her arm, so she can't go. You're about the same size as her. I was only hoping that you would help out." The boy said.
"Depends. I have to see the horse." Kai said. The boy's face lit up.
"How about lunch time?" The boy said. Kai nodded as she walked into her homeroom.
Duo sighed in relief when he found that most of Kai's dresses were full length shirts. Wufei laughed and entered the kitchen, following him was Quatre, holding Duo's uniform,
"I knew this was going to happen." Wufei laughed. Quatre handed the uniform to Duo.
"I guess Kai picked it out for you, Duo. Not to be funny or anything." Quatre said. Duo looked at the uniform. It consisted of a light sweater and a matching short skirt. Duo blushed and Wufei laughed louder.
"I'm sure it'll look great on you, Maxwell. I'm, I'm sure that you can get into the choir." Wufei laughed. Duo shot a glare that would have killed Wufei, if looks could kill.
"Bug off, Wu-Chan." Duo grumbled. Wufei laughed and walked out of the room. Duo grumbled and went to change. Heero walked in with Trowa behind him.
"Where's Duo?" Heero asked. Trowa walked over to the coffee machine and poured himself a cup.
"He went to go change. Please try not to make fun of him when he comes down. Ok, you two?" Quatre said. Trowa sat himself down at the table. Heero went to pour himself a cup of coffee.
"Sure." Trowa said. Heero just stared at the coffee in his cup. Suddenly Duo walked into the room. Heero and Trowa looked up and covered their mouths. They tried hard not to laugh. Duo had pinned his hair back into a ponytail. He tried to pulled down the short skirt, but nothing happened. Heero walked over to the american pilot.
"Well, I'm sure that you'll be the envy of all the girls, Duo." Heero managed to say without bursting into laughter.
"Yeah, I'm sure K-Kai will be jealous too." Trowa managed to say. Quatre shot them both a look. Duo chargrined and threw his hair brush at Trowa. It bounced off Trowa's head and hit Heero's head. Duo turned around and stomped out of the house, just like Kai had. Quatre laughed.
"Well, I guess that serves you two right. Well I guess I'll be going now. Make sure to put ice on those." Quatre said as he left. Heero grumbled and Trowa got the ice.
"I guess we sorta deserved it, Heero." Trowa said as he handed some ice to Heero.
"We've got two new students joining us today. Would you please introduce yourselves?" The teacher asked. Quatre stepped foward.
"My name is Quentin Ray." Quatre said. Duo causiously stepped forward.
"My name is Dianna Maxwell." Duo said.
"Thank you, Quentin and Dianna. Please take a seat in an empty chair." The teacher said. Duo and Quatre sat down. The teacher started to take roll.
"Kathlene Mai? Does anyone know where Kathlene is?" The teacher asked.
"Ms. Nyln. Kathlene went to the horse show, remember?" A student said.
"The boys picked her to be the rider." Another student said. Quatre and Duo looked completely confused. Ms. Nyln noticed and smiled.
"You see, here we're big on horse shows instead of basketball games. The girl who was suppose to be the rider broke her arm, so the boys choose Kathlene to go. She must be a skilled rider. Anyways, your first day will be shorten because the students are allowed to go to the show." Ms. Nyln said. Duo lended over towards Quatre.
"Have you seen Kai?" Duo asked. Quatre shook his head.
"Maybe she'll be at the horse show. We'll join up there." Quatre said. Duo nodded and returned his attention to the front.
Duo and Quatre looked around when they arrived at the horse show. They still couldn't find Kai. Where was she hiding? They went to sit in the stadium and watch the show. They found out that the school's rider had won each competition so far. The last few competitions, it was the girl from their school and a boy from OZ.
"Well, this is the last round. Good luck, Jason." The girl said. She held out her hand and he shook it.
"Good luck, Kathlene." Jason said. He walked off to go prepare his horse. Kathlene smiled. Little did Jason know that she had scanned his mind of his knowledge of OZ.
"My mission is complete. I'll contact the others later." Kathlene said as she headed for her horse.
"And now our last two contestants will go through this course on bareback. Jason will go first." The announcer said. Jason settled himself on his horse and was prepared to start.
"How do you think he will do, Mister Treize?" A woman asked. Treize shook his head.
"I'm not sure. This Kathlene Mai is a really good rider. It'll be a close call. I'm sure he'll do fine, Lady Une." Treize said. Lady Une nodded in agreement and turned her attention to the competition.
"I thought this was a horse show?" Duo said. The girl next to him laughed.
"The horse show was earlier. Now the top winners get to compete in races like this. This is the first time anyone from our school has gotten this far." The girl said. Duo nodded and turned back to the race. Jason had just started.
"Jason Krik, time, 2.17 minutes. Now Kathlene Mai on Masquerader." The announcer said. Duo and Quatre looked at each other.
"Masquerader?" They said. They looked at the horse and the rider. Sure enough, the rider had long red hair and stormy blue eyes. It was Kai. Suddenly the horse and rider took off. The two moved quickly through the course. Soon they crossed the finish line.
"Congratuations, Kathlene Mai. With a new record, 1.15 minutes." The announcer said.
"Quite amazing. Huh, Lady Une?" Treize said. Lady Une said nothing. Treize got up and walked over to the competitors. Kathlene noticed Treize's approach.
"Don't do anything rash, Kai. He doesn't know who you are." Kathlene said to herself. Treize walked up to her and kissed her hand. The information she scanned from him overwhelmed her. She nearly passed out.
"Congratuations." Treize said. Kathlene composed herself and smiled.
"Thank you Mister Treize. If you excuse me, I really have to go." Kathlene said. She grabbed her horse's reigns and left. Once she was out of sight, Kathlene breathed in deeply.
"He knows about the others. I have to warn them." Kathlene said.
Quatre hestiantly knocked on the door. The door opened and there stood Kai. She looked around the hallway and pulled him and Duo inside.
"I'm glad to see you two finally made it. I need you to cover for me tommorrow." Kai said.
"Why?" Duo asked. Kai looked up from her duffle bag, which was filled with exsplosives.
"I'm going into the OZ base to warn the others. Treize knows that they're there, but he isn't quite sure who they are. I'm going in to bomb the place. I'm planning on bring them back here. Can you cover me?" Kai said. Quatre nodded his head. Kai headed for the door.
"Be careful, Kai." Quatre said. Kai smiled and ran out of the room.
"Do you think she knows what she's doing?" Duo asked. Quatre turned to Duo.
"I'm sure if she couldn't do it, she would have asked for our help." Quatre replied.
"Quatre, you know her as well as I do. She tends to ignore others and work on her own. She's just like Heero. Only asking when it's nessary." Duo said.
"You've got to have more faith in her, Duo. Maybe I give her too credit, but she's quite remarkable. She has saved all of us many times over. You have to give her that much." Quatre said.
"I guess you're right, but I just worry about her." Duo said. Quatre put a hand on Duo's shoulder.
"I know, but she's a big girl and for some reason, she feels obligated to keep us alive." Quatre said.
"Come on Heero. I think someone is coming." Wufei said while looking around the corner. Sure enough, there was a figure heading towards them. "Someone is coming."
"I haven't found the information yet. Shot whom ever it is, Wufei." Heero said as he typed into an OZ computer. Trowa stood silently in the shadows. It was just a precatiuon. If the person managed to dodge the bullet, Trowa would stop them. Suddenly Wufei jumped out into the hallway and then fell to the ground. Wufei's gun was pointed at Trowa. Then the attacker sighed and helped Wufei up.
"You guys need to be more careful. I could have killed you, Wufei." The person said. Trowa still couldn't reconize the person. They were in an OZ uniform as well. The person took off it's hat and let it's red hair fall.
"Kai?" Trowa said quietly. Kai nodded. She stood over Heero and pressed something into the computer.
"Can you remember this, Heero?" Kai asked. Heero nodded. Wufei and Trowa stood behind the two.
"What does this passageway have to do with anything?" Wufei asked.
"I'm planning on blowing this place up. I've got the information we need. We've got to destroy the base before the know where we are." Kai answered.
"But they don't even know we're here." Trowa said. Kai shook her head.
"Trust me when I say that they know. Now get out of here. Join up with Quatre and Duo at the school." Kai said. She took out a device and pressed the button. "We've got five minutes to get the hell out of here." Heero nodded and got up to leave. Trowa and Wufei followed him. Kai watched as the three dissappeared down the hallway.
"Hey, you there." Kai turned to see an OZ soldier. "Time to line up. Liutinant Zechs wants us all to report to him." Kai nodded and followed the soldier. She lined up with seven other soldiers, constantly looking down at her watch. She had three minutes left.
"I need two volunteers to come with me." Zechs said. Kai stepped foward. She was the only one, though.
"Anyone else?" Zechs asked. No one budged. Kai smiled. It was going to be their funeral. "Come with me." Zechs led her to the mobile suit bay.
"What is it that you need me for, Luientant?" Kai asked.
"Three gundams have been identified in the area. I need someone to help me find them." Zechs said. Kai looked down at her watch. Less than a minute left. She and Zechs broaded two mobile suits. Kai quickly started her's up and started to take off.
"Where are you going?" Zechs asked. An image of a red haired woman appeared on his moniter.
"I'm out of here. This place is going to blow, it's just too bad that you're not going up with it. See ya around, Zechs." Kai said as she took of in the Taurus suit. Zechs got his started and took off after her. The Taurus suit exploded and the Masquerader appeared.
"Kai. I should have known." Zechs said. The Masquerader changed into a jet.
"It's all too late, Zechs. See ya around." Kai said as the Maquerader shoot off. Then the OZ base blew up.
"Damn." Zechs cursed. He had let the base down and let the enemy go. He didn't know how he was going to explain this one. Kai had dug him a deep hole this time.
