Minerva held up the shirt, studying it before packing it into the suitcase. There wasn't much clothing to pack, most of what she had was all worn down due to the salvage yard. The nice clothes she did still posses was a pair of jeans, shoes, a few shirts one sweater and a brown leather jacket. "Hilde?"
The german girl looked up from packing her own suitcase. "Yes?"
"Do you really mind me coming along?"
Hilde smiled. "Of course not! Duo wants you to come and so do I. Everyone would love to meet you."
Minerva frowned. "Not Heero or Wufei."
"How do you know that?"
"I just.....I feel like a freeloader. I'm taking advantage of everyones kindness."
Hilde frowned. "Never say that, we love having you around. My kitchen loves having you around."
Minerva giggled slightly. It was true that Duo was a bad cook. Before he brought her home withen Duo had tried to soften the blow to Hilde by cooking dinner. Minerva could still smell the result even a week after she had been brought to the Schbeiker residence. Luckely she was a lot better cook then Duo and with two capable girls who could boil water, Duo had stayed far away from the stove.
"Do you think I need to have something nice to wear? We are going to Quatre's."
"Don't worry about it. Nobody really dresses formally to these occassions."
"Are you girls ready yet?"
Both Hilde and Minerva turned around to the braided pilot standing in the doorway. Hilde grinned. "You'll just have to wait."
"Aw come on. does having two girls around mean I have to plan things hours in advance just to be on time?"
Minerva grinned. "And how long does it take you to braid your hair."
"Point taken. Oi, Any minute they'll start turning out search parties. Missing, pressumed dead because we didn't show up on time."
Minerva giggled. "Duo your never on time!"
Duo folded his arms in mock pout. "I can be on time if I want, I just prefer to be fasionably late."
Hilde rolled her eyes. "Okay Mr. Fasionably late, we're ready to go when you are."
************************
Wufei folded his arms brooding over his thoughts as he sat impatiently in the living room. "Where is that baka?"
Most of the pilots had arrived a few hours ago, Wufei still seemed to be pouting over having to come. Sally had chosen a seat right next to the chinese pilot. Trowa and even Catherine had arrived and the mansion was quickly filling with guests. Heero had arrived exactly on time qand now appeared to be holding up the wall "Duo is usually late."
Wufei scowled. "Can't the half wit ever be on time?"
Quatre walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of tea and snacks, setting the tray on a table in the middle of the room. "He said he was bringing two guests."
"Two?"
Trowa finally spoke up. "The first one is Hilde."
Heero nodded in agreement. "Who is the other one Quatre?"
Sally bowed her head. "Strange girl..."
The four pilots looked up. Wufei eyed Sally suspiciously. "Onna, you know about this?"
"Of course I do, I helped take care of her."
Wufei's eyes widened in surprise and he was about to speak when the door sounded a chorus of knocks. Everyone looked up as Quatre walked over to answer the door. He had barely turned the knob when the door swung open. A blizzard of snow blew into the room followed by a certain braided pilot shivering. "SHIT! It's cold out there!"
Quatre waited as Duo continued to jump about and stamp his feet, trying to warm up. Trowa chose not to be so patient. "Going to introduce your new friend Duo?"
Duo looked at Trowa then back to the door. Hilde and Minerva had already stepped inside while Duo had been trying to get warm. Everyone had turned to look at the new girl, her eyes were a greyish blue and long dark brown curls fell down the middle of her back, pulled in by a silver colored barrette. She couldn't be much over five feet tall and wore dark jeans, brown overshoes and a dark marroon shirt with a leather brown duster. Duo smiled. "Everyone, this is Minerva."
Minerva looked up when her name was called and took a small step forward. They all stared at her as if she had a pair of wings sprouting from her back.
"Starting a herum Maxwell?"
Duo looked over at Wufei, who was now tying to supress pain from Sally's kick. He smirked and moved on. "Tall dark and stoic holding up the wall is Trowa Barton, say where is Catherine?"
Trowa looked up and pointed his thumb to the hall and showers. Duo rubbed the back of his neck. "Yea, he's a little quiet. Anyway you've already met Sally Po. The adorable blonde there is Quatre Winner, your benefactor. Hey Heero, wheres your spandex?"
"Saving it for your noose."
Duo blinked. "Heero was that a joke? Okay, Mr dark and brooding is Heero Yuy. And the short grumpy guy on the couch would be Wufei Chang."
Minerva nodded. "The male chauvonist pig."
Everyone's eyes widened at the comment, Duo practically choked. Wufei wasn't nearly as amused as he pulled himself away from his seat to face the girl. "Onna! Duo what have you been telling her?"
Duo held up his hands in surrender. "Nothing I swear!"
Wufei continued to glare. "Just be sure you watch your words more Woman."
"Funny you still havn't chosen to use my actual name."
"I'll use it when I see fit. Street trash, while you were most likely whoring yourself off to the first buyer some of us actually DID something during the war."
Minerva scowled. She had heard of Wufei's pride but even HE had to have limits. She drew her arm back and contacted her fist square into his nose. "You dirty son of a bitch! You know nothing about me! I'm a Virgin, and I wasn't the one who decided to blow up a base of innocent soldiers! How DARE you assume that about me!"
The tears welled up in her eyes and she broke away from the group and escaped through one of the halls. The entire room had been stunned into silence when Sally finally broke it. "Wufei how could you?"
"Maxwell bringing in strays. Make sure the next one you take in has more manners."
He then grunted and turned around, putting a hand on his katana and walking away down another hallway. The remaing guests seemed to be participating in a staring contest when Duo finally spoke again. "So Quatre, where are Relena and Dorothy?"
Quatre looked up in surprise, he hadn't expected anyone to speak so soon. "They're not arriving until tommorow."
More silence, finally Duo looked at Hilde. Hilde looked up and noticed the other pilots were also looking at her expectingly. She sighed. "I'll go talk to her."
The german girl walked off, following in the direction Minerva had gone. The rest of the guests disbanded.
*******************
H er face burned, the tears came so easily. This was all a big mistake, why she even came, it was all a stupid idea. She actually screamed at him! He insulted her and she fought back. Wasn't that what she was supposed to do?
<i> Stupid girl, you get a gift and this is how you treat it?</i>
Stupid stupid Minerva.
"Minerva?"
She looked up, Hilde was knocking on the door.
"Minerva are you in there?"
The door opened in Hilde stepped in. Minerva hurridly tried to wipe her eyes and push the tears away. She kept her head down so Hilde wouldn't see how red her face had become. "I'm..I'm okay, really."
Hilde smiled softly, closing the door behind her and sitting down beside Minerva. She reached over, ripping off a few sheets of toilet paper and handing them to the dark haired girl. Minerva accepted the offering and rubbed her eyes.
"Sorry, Wufei isn't usually like that."
Minerva blew her nose. "Oh, I feel so special then. He was just terrible."
Hilde nodded. "He can get defensive."
"What?"
Hilde sighed. "Male chauvonist pig? It's usually not the first thing you say to someone."
"What, so your taking his side?"
"No. I'm not. Alright look. You both acted like bickering toddlars, but you don't go ahead and insult someone for a first impression. It usually doesn't go over well."
"I'm such an idiot."
Hilde smiled, pulling her closer. "It's alright, we've all made mistakes. I'm sure no one will hold it against you. You going to be okay?"
Minerva nodded slowly and sniffed. "yea."
Hilde nodded, standing up and walking to the door. She stopped and turned around. "Male chauvonist pig?"
Minerva shrugged. "It just popped up."
Hilde smiled and Minerva watched as she shut the door. Slowly her gaze moved down to her wrists, blood trickling from old scars. She grabbed the remaining roll of toilet paper and wrapped it around the wounds until it was soaked. When she removed the soaked cloth. The scars were gone, all that remaied was smeared blood.
The german girl looked up from packing her own suitcase. "Yes?"
"Do you really mind me coming along?"
Hilde smiled. "Of course not! Duo wants you to come and so do I. Everyone would love to meet you."
