Chapter 11: At the Ball (part 1)

None of the Gundam pilots knew what was going on in the girls' room. Namely, Hilde and Dorothy's room. All three of them had shut themselves up in that room for almost 2 hours now. Hilde would not let anybody in. The three Gundam pilots, i.e. Heero, Duo, and Quatre were waiting outside. It was only another hour before they would have to leave for the Ball. Trowa had left to go pick up his girlfriend and he today he was not going to be with his friends today.

"What's taking them so long?" Duo said impatiently. They had now been waiting outside the room for thirty minutes now.

"Just wait. Hilde said they will be out in a few minutes," Quatre tried to reason with Duo.

"Duo is right. They are taking too long." Heero said when they heard a loud scream from the room. All three of them tensed.

"You try putting that on me and believe me I'll kill you," They heard Jade say.

The scream must have been Hilde's or Dorothy's.

"Calm down Jade. You are over reacting. This won't kill you." Dorothy tried to reason with her.

"It won't kill me but put that shiny stuff on me and I'll kill you." Jade warned.

Heero smirked at that and Quatre just shook his head. Duo was still tense. Hilde was in there.

"Calm down Duo, Jade won't kill wither of them," Quatre told him.

"Oh believe me she will. I know that girl."

"I heard that Maxwell. You are next," Jade yelled from inside.

"Damn."

"Why? What's wrong?" Heero asked him. "She is just a girl."

"Yeah, right. But let me tell you she is like not normal."

"Other than her being an empath, what's so unusual about her?" Quatre asked him.

"Well, you haven't been on the receiving end of her death threats have you?"

"No, but…

He stopped mid-sentence. All three of them were speechless for a while. Hilde, Dorothy and Jade looked gorgeous. Duo's jaw dropped when he saw the three.

Hilde was dressed in a sleek full-sleeved dark red dress that ended just above her knees. It hugged her body in just the right places. Her hair was the usual short, messy style without the pink beret. She looked like her usual easy going self. Her choice was perfect for her pixyish form. She had applied make-up, but it looked really good on her. Duo could not take his eyes off her.

Dorothy was dressed in a light blue evening gown, with a slit running up to mid-thigh and a low neck. The colour complemented her pale complexion and her grey- blue eyes. Her hair was made up in an elegant twisty roll of some sort. She apparently had the most make-up on, but it suited her high and mighty style.

Jade was dressed all in black. She was dressed in a black gown that went all the way to the floor. It had a low neck and spaghetti straps and was body hugging till her waist and from then on, it was a long and flowing skirt. The dress apparently was satin since it had a liquid sheen to it and it was the same colour as her hair, which was done up in a beautiful but practical twist, and her eyes. Though she was dressed all in black, it did not look inappropriate. It suited her. The black seemed to make her gaze seem more intense and it suited her air of mystery perfectly and her olive complexion carried it well. She had minimal make-up on and she looked absolutely stunning. She looked so different than her usual self.

"Boy, is Trowa going to be in for a surprise," Duo said under his breath and got a sharp elbow to the ribs from Hilde. "You're talking about Trowa, just look at soldier boy!" she whispered in his ear. Duo looked at Heero and his jaw dropped.

Heero's jaw had dropped when he had seen Jade and he was watching her entranced!

This was something that no one would expect Heero to do.

Jade had noticed this too and she walked and stood right in front of Heero. No response. She snapped her fingers under her nose and he snapped out of that trance. He immediately turned away and he said in a gruff voice, "Let's go. You people have wasted enough time already."

Jade latched onto his arm and she felt him stiffen a bit. And was he blushing?

Trowa was mentally cursing himself for not breaking up with his girlfriend. He had tremendous control over his emotions but if his girlfriend continued with her whining and complaining for another five minutes, that control was going to snap.

Luckily for them, they reached the hall.

He entered. The place was huge. He scanned the crowd. He saw Relena with Zechs and Noin. He looked around another time, but he could not see his friends. He assumed they hadn't reached there. Sonia was tugging his arm. She wanted him to go with her and talk with her friends. Her so called "social circle".

He was about to turn when he saw his friends come in. Quatre waved at him and he acknowledged the wave with a nod of his head. Dorothy was beside him. Next his eyes fell on Duo and Hilde and lastly the fell on Heero. And who was that lady in black by Heero? The face was familiar and he couldn't help but think that he knew her. He had to admit to himself that she was gorgeous. With his eyes still on the group and especially on that girl, he turned to Sonia.

"Who did Heero say was his date?" he asked her, but he instantly regretted asking it.

"Why do you want to know that?"

"Just asking," he said casually, still not taking his eyes off the group.

"Dorothy told me it was Jade."

Trowa was momentarily dumbstruck. That girl was Jade?

All the way from the other end of the room Duo and Hilde had been watching Trowa's every move.

"Looks like he just realised that Heero's date is none other than Jade," Duo said and the reply was a giggling fit from Hilde.

"I always knew that Trowa made a mistake."

"Mistake?" Duo practically screeched in disbelief. "That guy's worse than Heero. He is in love with Jade but he won't even admit it to himself."

"Just look at him. He is not even looking at Sonia when he is speaking to her. Looks like the only thing that he is interested in watching is Jade."

"Have you ever seen Jade drink?" Duo asked Hilde, with an evil glint in his eyes.

"No, but I sure would like to," she replied with equal mischief in her eyes.
