Gundam Wing Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Finding Love in All the Wrong Places ❯ The Concert ( Chapter 3 )

I still don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing

******************************Chapter Three******************************

Gusts of wind blew into her hair and face as the hot air tried to escape the club. It smelled of sweat, cigarette smoke, and musky colognes. She wavered over the freestyle dancers. The strobe light flashed and cut their dance into freeze-frame clicks. The boys stomped close in a savage circle. They shouted their group name with the beat and waved handkerchiefs to flaunt their gang colors. Girls were in the center, slowly rolling their hips to the music.

The beat of the music pulsed through and she had the irresistible urge to dance. A hand touched her back.

She turned abruptly. Val, Cyndi, Justin and Britt stood behind her.

"Come on!" Cyndi shouted at her over the loud music. She led the group to a table with Jeremy, Michael and a girl Mina had never met.

They ordered drinks and talked a bit. Mina impatiently waited for Dan's band to appear on stage.

Heather and Mina were introduced but Mina didn't like her very much… she got on her nerves. "Their pretty cute," Heather said smiling. She pointed her finger toward a group of boys in the darkest part of the club. Mina knew better. Girls went there, got drunk and got raped.

"No thanks, "Mina said, tossing the idea away.

"Come on, seriously." Heather got up out of her seat.

"Oh gee, your seriousness is so overwhelming. I can't take it anymore." Mina rolled her eyes. She didn't want to be around heather anymore.

"Come on Mina. Don't be so uptight." Britt smiled at her and Mina eased up.

"Guys…" Heather motioned for them to follow her to the seven boys in the dark.

"Eat my shorts," Mina said as she fingered her hair.

"What's up with you?" heather cocked her eyebrow and put her hands on her hips.

"A stick got rammed up her ass." Cyndi said. The group busted up laughing.

They neared the buys. One popped a match with his thumbnail and lit a cigarette. His eyes never left Mina.

Mina tried not to stare at him as she neared, but she kept feeling her eyes drawn back to him. Mina soon stood right in front of him.

"I'm Chris," he whispered too close too close to Mina's cheek. "What's yours?"

Heather pulled Chris away from Mina.

"I'm Heather," she said, hanging on his arm. "Mina's best friend."

"As if." She punched Heather hard, across the face. Heather was stunned for a moment the hit Mina back in the face. Mina slammed her body into heather, sending her onto the table and then the floor.

"I like a girl who will fight for me." Chris said to her, way too close.

"In your dreams." Mina pushed him into a chair. "I've been waiting to kick her ass all night."

Britt took her by the shoulders and steered her back to the dance floor.

A man appeared on the stage and announced Dan's band, Mest.

The crowd went wild and Mina jumped at the mention of Dan's band. Most off the lights went off and mina waited with Britt and Cyndi by her. The music started with a piercing scream. The crowd rushed forward, knocking over two barriers. Mina, Britt, and Cyndi were squished into the mob. The band went full speed into punk rock.

Security guards ran into the mosh pit and tried to stop the hitting, shoving, and head butting. It was like trying to stop a train. Mina grabbed Britt's hand as the fury of the crowd shoved them deeper into the mosh pit. A boy tore off his shirt and climbed onto the shoulders of his friends. Hands grabbed him, held, touched, and pulled him across the heads of the audience, crowd surfing.

A girl climbed onto the stage, struggled around the security guards, and leaped off into the tentive hands of the crowd. The music became a clash of air-ripping tones and head-splintering beats. The thrum of guitars and drums pulsated in Mina's head.

"Britt," Trowa's familiar voice made Britt turn away from Mina only to stare into his gorgeous eyes.

"I didn't expect you to come!" Britt shouted over the music.

The music became louder and sent the audience into a renewed frenzy. Girls unbuttoned their blouses and flashed the band, including Daniel. The crowd pushed Mina away from Britt and Trowa. The two wandered back to the table with the other four guys.

"Britt?" Mina called out to her but doubted she could even hear her over the maelstrom of music.

Mina let her hands reach for the ceiling as she moved to the beat of the music. Mina moved into a slow-moving swing that attracted a lot of attention. The song ended and girls ran to the stage, all wanting autographs. Mina smiled, she was proud of Dan's success. A girl lifted her sweater and asked him to sign her belly. He took a black felt marker and signed across her stomach.

"Wha-?" Mina's jaw dropped as Dan signed on Sara's fully exposed chest. Other girls wanted him to sign arms and neck. Mina's face flushed.

Meanwhile, Britt and Trowa were in a lively conversation. They heard shouts and the sound of skin hitting skin. Britt looked toward the dance floor. Mina and Sara were going all out.

"Oh shit," Britt mumbled to herself. She ran to the scene and the Gundam pilots followed closely.

"All right." Duo had a big smile on his face. "Finally some action."

Sara hit Mina hard in the stomach and Mina went to her knees. Security guards grabbed Sara and held her back. Mina got up and hit her repeatedly across the face, causing a bloody nose. Guards tried to control Mina but she fought back. They practically dragged the two girls out of the club and told them to lay off. But a few minutes later a crowd gathered around them again before they even started. Britt, the Gundam pilots, and Daniel watched to.

"What the Hell are they doing?" Dan spat out.

Britt hesitantly responded, "Fighting over you… again."

Dan tried to get in between them but the crowd pulled him back, wanting to see the end.

"Come on Mina!! Kick her ass!" Cyndi shouted out to her.

Britt scowled; this was not the way to end things.

Sara landed a good one on Mina's face and then twisted her arm everyone could hear the pop. Mina knew her arm was broken but she didn't care. She threw Sara to the ground and began to kick her in the ribs, hoping to break something, anything. Britt asked Trowa to help and he did. He picked Mina up off her feet and Britt led them to her car.

Trowa set her down gently.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Britt examined Mina's arm as she yelled at her.

Mina ignored her and popped her arm against the car… it didn't pop back into place. She put more pressure on it this time and she could feel it fall into place. Tears came out of the corners of her eyes. It hurt. Britt said goodbye to Trowa and drove Mina to her house.

They sat in her room readying themselves for bed.

"You did a really good job kicking her ass." Britt laughed at her.

"Except for the part when Trowa hauled me off my feet. So… are you and him… going out?" Mina eyed Britt looking for any sign that they were.

"No, were just really good friends right now."

"Uh uh… sure, Trowa doesn't seem the type to come to a rock concert just for a girl."

"Well at least I told him how I feel. Unlike you… you haven't even told Dan…"

Britt's voice trailed off.

Mina eyed Britt suspiciously. "What did you say to him?"

Britt giggled nervously. "Nothing, nothing… I said nothing.

Mina raised her hand to slap her.

"All right!! All right! Well… it just kind of spilled out… you know?" She smiled uneasily praying to god Mina wasn't going to hit her.

Mina was calm for a second and then she let out a scream.

Sunday morning Mina woke up to a certain smell of minty freshness. She wiped at her face and it was really sticky. Her eyes widened. She sat up in bed and looked around. There was a toothpaste bottle on the floor near Britt but she was sound asleep. Mina crept to the frig and put whip cream on Britt with little sprinkles everywhere. She woke up with a jolt and as soon as she realized what was happening she fought against Mina.

"No!" She said, laughing hysterically.

They dragged themselves into the shower to rid themselves of whip cream and toothpaste.

Monday came, then Tuesday, and Wednesday. Because of her suspension Mina didn't have to go to school until Thursday.

She held the locker door open, pulled out her algebra book and slipped her history book inside. Someone nudged the locker door shut. She turned sharply and took in a quick gulp of air.

Daniel leaned against the row of lockers. His black hair fell in his eyes and he casually brushed it back.

Mina slammed her locker closed. "Hi."

"Hey Mina, I…" Britt approached them with, of course, Trowa. She noticed Dan and she instantly turned around and walked the other way.

"So…" Dan shifted his backpack on his shoulder as if he didn't quit know what to say. "Britt told me why you two were fighting and I couldn't say that I had expected it…" he waited for her to say something but when she didn't he continued. "I don't think you should have fought but, hey, it's your life." He shifted his feet uneasily waiting for her response, if she had one.

Mina had the sudden urge to kiss him. Just drop your books and lean in, she told herself. But se couldn't find the courage to do it.

"Hey, I wanted to tell you before. Just didn't get the chance I guess," Dan continued. " Sara is just a friend, but you… I like you more than a friend." He gazed into he eyes. "

Mina let a huge smiled appear on her face. She dropped her books, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him.

The bell rang and kids around them bustled to class. Mina felt like time was stopping just for them.

"Well isn't that cute?" Duo watched them from the opposite end of the hallway.

"She's a weak onna." Wufei bluntly said.

" She knows something… Britt and Mina definitely know something." Heero added on to the conversation.

" I don't think so," Trowa said, "Britt doesn't seem like she works for OZ or anything…"

"It's not right to accuse someone so easily Heero." Quatra watched Mina and Dan closely. "Their totally innocent."

"Hn."

So what do you think so far? If you tell me, I'll write another chapter. =-)
