Ed and Duo's Greatest Adventure

Chapter 5

By Devon Masterson

AN: You may notice that this is starting to become more serious and that's true, but that is not going to stop Ed, Duo, and Wufei from doing something crazy. Every story needs balance, let me know if you still find this funny as it continues.

"So what's it like?" Duo asked as he leaned in closer to Trowa who was reading a book.

"What are you talking about?" Trowa asked not looking up from his book. He had a feeling that Duo was about to say something to stupid.

Duo looked around casually to make sure no one was around. "Sex with Ed. You two have been sharing a room for two months now and I haven't heard anything sex related. So now I'm asking?"

Trowa raised an eyebrow in annoyance. "You are a pervert, Duo," he said calmly as he continued to read.

"I have to get my kicks some way," he smirked. "So how is it? I'm not going to believe you haven't done anything with her the whole time. You haven't gotten any since you broke up with Dorothy a year ago. I know you have to be backed up. It ain't healthy, man."

"Duo…"

"I'm serious, Trowa, I'd hate for you to kill the poor girl or at least have her walking funny," he continued. He leaned back in his chair and put his hands behind his head. "From what I remember or should I say I heard through the door, you were quite a wild man. I was proud of you, ya' know? I didn't know you had it in you…actually you had it in her."

"You're annoying me," he said simply as he stood to his feet. "Such a pervert."

"Yeah well you know you love me," Duo called after him. "I guess this means no then. I pity Ed…but then again who knows I might have to pity Trowa."

"Whatcha `doin'?" Ed asked suddenly as she smacked the table playfully.

"Geez, Ed!" he called out as he grabbed his chest. "You took years off my life, you know that?"

Ed smiled and nodded causing her braid to shake. "You're silly, Dueyo."

Duo shook his head at the nickname she gave him recently. He was not too fond of it but coming from her it was not so bad. He would kill any one else that dared to call him that though. "You're one to talk."

She nodded in agreement then sat cross-legged on table. "Ed gets lonely during the day so Ed decided to go to school."

"Cool, now, I won't be so bored during the day," he replied as he went back to his hand held game. He then raised an eyebrow and shifted his gaze toward her. "I am a senior you know and you'd be a freshman. You would have to bend to my every will and desire to become the ultimate slave."

Ed's eyes widened in confusion not sure of what to say then smiled. "I trust you, Dueyo. Ed knows you wouldn't hurt her."

Duo nodded. "Yeah and Trowa would kill me," he thought as his eyes went back to the screen. "You're a good kid, Ed."

"Ed is grown up and not a kid," she replied with slight indignation. "Just a normal girl."

Duo snickered then got up. "You're a hacker that lives with five terrorists and a bounty hunter. You'll never be `just a normal girl.'" He started down the hall. "See ya' later."

"Oh well," Ed sighed as she lay back on the table. A smile suddenly crossed her face as she saw and heard a small explosion. A trail of smoke snaked upward from the forest causing her to laugh hysterically. "Wu-man found Ed's trap." She sat up then jumped off the table to greet her foe that had been foiled yet again. In her opinion it was justice served for throwing her the lake yesterday and she knew he wouldn't see it coming.

The other gundam pilots joined her and raised an eyebrow as Wufei stalked out of the forest with black smudges covering him. "Barton, you need to control your woman. She booby trapped Nataku!" he exclaimed in annoyance.

"So temperamental," Trowa sighed as he casually pushed Ed behind him before Wufei got any ideas. "You threw her in the lake yesterday so I believe you two are now even for this week."

Wufei had a look of humor pass his features at Edward flying through the air and into the lake. He had never seen her look so miffed it was quite entertaining. She had it coming for a long time from his point of view. His eyes narrowed once again. He would have to clean himself up then figure out what exactly she did to Nataku. "Damned woman," he mumbled as he walked inside.

"You two never cease to amaze me," Trowa commented. He touched her hand affectionately.

"Crisis over," Heero replied, "I have work to do."

Duo and Quatre nodded as well and went back inside. Once they were alone, Trowa pulled Ed into his embrace and held her. "You know messing with Nataku might cause him to get out of hand?"

Ed smiled and kissed him lightly. "Don't worry, boyfriend person."

Trowa looked into her amber eyes and smirked. She had been calling `boyfriend person' ever since they admitted their feelings to each other. It was not the term of endearment one would expect from their girlfriend, but coming from Ed it was cute. She was so different from the other girls he encountered. She was open, honest, and not afraid to be herself no matter how weird that maybe. She had the habit of winning just about anyone over. He didn't know what it was about her that attracted him to her at first. She did have an incredible body, but her personality was so distracting from it. "Her whimsical nature that's what I love…" He touched her face affectionately. "Just be careful. He is a highly trained assassin and terrorist."

"Okay, boyfriend person," she replied. She kissed him again on the lips then slipped from his embrace. "Guess what?" she asked twirling around.

"You're going to college," Trowa answered. "I heard you tell Duo while I was walking up the stairs."

"Aw, boyfriend person ruined the surprise," she sighed. "Oh well, Ed will still have fun."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" he asked. "College can be…complicated."

"Of course, Ed will be fine. Ed will be a college girl," she answered. "College girl, college girl, running all over the world."

Trowa shook his head in amusement, but he was still worried. Ed was not exactly a normal average eighteen-year-old girl. She was going to stick out and he was not used to that. Part of him wanted to discourage the idea of her going to college, but he also knew that she needed the social graces acquired from hanging around people her own age. Blending in better was always a secret wish for her, he knew that, however; seeing her hurt when some rejected her did not want to see. "At least I can keep an eye out for her."

"Do you have your paper work done?" he asked.

Ed nodded the dived on top of Trowa. "Don't worry, boyfriend person, Ed will be fine, you'll see," she assured him as she looked down at him.

He smirked as he looked up at her with both eyes. "Okay," he replied.

"I'm telling you I had nothing to do with it, I was innocent this time," Faye said as she and Quatre walked outside. They both stopped short when they saw Ed and Trowa on the ground in an intimate looking position. Faye raised an eyebrow. "Well I never thought this would happen to me." She took Quatre's hand and pulled him in the other direction. He seemed to be in shock at the overall picture and was no good. "Take no prisoners, Ed." She called as they left.

Ed blinked for a moment then blushed furiously. She jumped up and backed away in embarrassment. They had been sharing a room for the past two months and nothing of consequence passed between them. True, there were a couple of make-out sessions, but nothing to that level and she thought nothing of it. She was an adult now and he was her boyfriend, why didn't he try? Why did she feel embarrassed about wanting to? "I gotta go," she said quickly then ran into the forest.

"Wait, Ed," he called out as he quickly sat up. He reached out to grab her fleeting hand, but she was too quick for him. "She needs some time. We've never talked about this."

***

Ed looked around excitedly as she watched students move in and out of buildings. It looked like the textbook college campus with green grass and tree-lined paths. Students sat in the yard of the school talking, studying, or just resting as she passed. It was perfect. "Let's see," she said lowly as she looked at her schedule. She had missed a week's worth of classes because she just decided that she would go to school, but she was sure that she could catch up easily. Her life as an undeclared freshman had just begun and there was so much to see.

"What's up, Ed?" Duo greeted as she walked up. He winked at her. "That's an interesting outfit you got there."

"What's wrong with it?" Ed looked down at herself and smoothed down her short pleated skirt. She had been advised that her `school girl' outfit was appropriate wear for her first day. It looked all right to her though. The short, black pleated skirt and white t-shirt with her trademarked smiley face seemed perfect. Black and white was her favorite combination. One thing she was not always sure of was footwear, she was perfectly fine with no shoes, but over the last few months she had grown accustomed to wearing shoes. She did not obsess about them the way Faye did though. In fact, it was Faye's suggestion that she wear white thigh highs, Mary Janes, and black suspenders. She chose white socks and black Timberland boots, her Timberlands were her favorite after she saw Heero's ever present manila ones and they had the same basic taste in clothes. However, Faye would not let her leave the house until she at least wore the suspenders.

"Nothing, you definitely have the sexy, cute thing working," Duo snickered. "Did Trowa see you this morning?"

Ed's eyes looked downward slightly. She avoided him most of yesterday and when she woke up this morning he had already left for class. One of the reasons that she even bothered to put together an organized outfit, instead of her usual black jean shorts and t-shirt, was she wanted to impress him. "I haven't seen boyfriend person today."

Duo put his arm around her affectionately. "Well you know how busy he gets. You can see him at lunch. Heero and Quatre are going to bring their homework to the lunch spot. It smelled so good too."

"It is good. Ed had a taste."

"What? No way, they gave you some!?" He asked incredulously. "Heero put a gun to my head and Quatre kicked me out of the kitchen. That is so not fair. Just for that I'm going to protest no more taste testing when they need me."

"More for me," Ed cheered as she darted off in the direction of her first class.

"Hey, I was kidding," Duo called as ran after her. "She's the only one I know that can eat just as much as me." He finally caught up with her.

"Ed was only playing," she commented.

"With you I can't always tell. That's what I like about you, Ed, always a surprise," he replied.

"Duo?" a female voice called.

Duo cringed as he realized who the owner of the voice was. She had not bothered to talk to him in a year, not that he cared, and now she was going to start. "What is it, Dorothy?"

"I was just wondering when you became the good Samaritan. Taking high school girls around the campus."

"Ed's a freshman," Ed corrected.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry," Dorothy replied. Her voice was dripping with sarcasm though. It was obvious that the girl was a complete moron, Duo was dating her. She saw the way they chatted and him put his arm around her. She never would have believed that he would try and seduce an unsuspecting freshman.

"It's okay," Ed smiled. She would ignore the comment and start fresh. "Edward Wong Hau Pelu Tivrusky the fourth, how do you do?"

Dorothy looked at the redhead before her with wide eyes then laughed. "Aren't you a girl?"

Duo balled his fists in anger at Dorothy's rudeness. Ed flushed furiously. "It's a wonderful name," she said lowly. It was the first time she had ever felt unsure of herself.

"Come on, Ed, I'd hate for you to get a case of bitchiness, I heard it catching," he sneered as he pulled Ed away from Dorothy. "I don't know why Trowa ever went out with that bitch," he mumbled angrily.

Ed's eyes widened and she looked back at Dorothy as she was being pulled away. "She used to be Boyfriend person's girlfriend?"
