.

It was a new day. Wufei couldn't help but smirk. Time to switch targets. Not that she'd be leaving Duo alone, but the boy would have more than just her to contend with in that dress. No, now attentions will be arranged around a not quite so stoic Heero Yuy. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts from her plotting, she moved to the outfit she had left unpacked. Taking off her pajamas and folding them to put them into the bag, she wrapped a towel around herself.

"Shower first, tormenting other pilots later." Nodding resolutely, she glanced out into the hall, satisfied when she didn't see anyone. She moved off towards the bathroom on light feet, and stepped inside, letting out a held breath once she reached her goal. "Alright, so my shower turns out to be something I'll have to work around." She shook her head, turning around to close the door. Only to come nose to nose with her chosen pilot of the day.

"Am I in your way?" Heero turned a little in the doorway, and leaned around Wufei to try and get something from the counter.

"Kisama! Yuy! Get out right now!" Wufei glared at the other pilot, knowing she couldn't budge him at her best, and at the moment, she only had one hand.

"Why? All you are doing is using the shower, right?" There was a devious light in those dark blue eyes that Wufei didn't trust. Ever since he became a she, Heero had been acting differently than usual. Nothing obvious, but she didn't like it.

"Yes! Now get out!" Wufei gave him a push backwards, trying to make it so she could close the door. It didn't work as well as she might have hoped. All she managed to do was knock him slightly off balance, causing him hook a hand around her waist. "Yuy! Out!"

Of course, considering where the rest room in this particular safe house was, it drew the attention of one sleepy, loud, Shinigami. "Oi, people, what's all the yellin?"

Heero glanced over at Duo, his lips twitching slightly in what could have been an almost smile. He then moved quickly, yanking Wufei out of the bathroom and right in Duo's direction before he took the last step in and closed the door in both their faces.

Wufei glared at the door, bright red from head to toes as she collided with Duo and sent them both onto their backsides. She wasn't even aware the action loosened her towel and revealed far more than she would ever have allowed to be seen. "Yuy! I was here first!"

Duo glanced over at Wufei and grinned widely as he saw the state that Wufei was in. She looked like his old Wufei again with that indignant look on her face... Though by no means was there a chance that he could have taken some of the eyeful he was getting as male. Odd that. Duo was more impressed seeing signs of his old pal rather than staring at the feminine flesh laid out. "Aren't you a bit chilly Fei-chan?"

"What?" Whipping her head around to look at Duo, she then turned an even deeper shade of red as he pointed at her causing her attention to turn on her own exposed visage. "Kisama..." Followed immediately by her hands putting the towel back into place and a quick movement to get to her feet.

"Dun worry, Fei love, I'm more gentlemanly than to stare at a nearly naked female teammate." Duo sounded slightly puzzled as he said that, and shook his head, turning to go back into his own room. "Must be too early for me... Never thought I'd pass a chance to stare at 'Fei." He muttered the last nearly under his breath, making it so it was barely heard as he shut the door.

Wufei stared at Duo's now closed door after it shut, as though trying to get him to come back out and explain himself, but to no avail. After a moment of the fruitless staring, she turned her attention back to the bathroom door and frowned. "Heero Yuy! Just what makes you think you could toss me out of the bathroom like that?"

He swung the door open, entirely ignoring the state of absolute nudity he had as he did, to confront Wufei's question. "You and I are going to be the first two to go to the school. Then Duo, then Trowa and Quatre three days later. I happened to plan my shower already. Now, I am going to get to that, and you can deal with the hallway or go do something else."

He closed the door before poor Wufei could regain her composure from the unexpected sight. "What is going on this morning around here??" She spun away from the door, deciding she could clean up after getting to the school. Right now she needed to get dressed. She also needed to figure out how to fix the ache she was feeling from the lovely view she got from Heero. It wasn't fair. This was not how she intended to start her morning at all!

-____________________-

About an hour after the bathroom incident, Wufei finally deemed it safe to go downstairs for breakfast. She knew they had about another hour before they had to leave but she was finished packing already. Of course, she'd managed to give Duo suitable ammo that morning at the bathroom door for him to tease her back after the day before. She shook her head; pushed open the kitchen door, and looked around to see three of the other four pilots inside, Heero being the one missing. Letting out a breath of relief, Wufei moved to get her breakfast, her red broomstick skirt and white long sleeved tank top swinging with her steps.

She was only about halfway to her goal when Duo decided to get a little revenge. "So Fei, how'd you avoid getting any tan lines?"

Well, she was certain that he meant for it to be revenge. Though she turned a little pink on the cheeks, Wufei took it gracefully. "Usually it involves being nude while outdoors, Maxwell. How else do you think?"

Quatre turned bright red and turned to Duo, who happened to start choking on his bite full of breakfast in retaliation to that comment. Trowa took pity on his two comrades and started pounding Duo on the back.

"When did you start doing that?" Duo was staring at Wufei, and wheezed out his demand.

"I've been doing nude sunbathing since I got to Earth. Why do you think I enjoy my privacy?" Wufei shook her head and turned around, allowing her blush to get brighter once she wasn't looking at them. Breakfast. She needed to get her breakfast. Then she would be prepared to deal with Yuy, who was determined to throw her off already, it seemed.

As though summoned by her thoughts, Heero moved into the kitchen, collecting his coffee and his own breakfast before sitting down. Wufei was only just settling down to eat when Heero decided to speak, more than startling the others.

"If you were sunbathing, why didn't you invite anyone to join you? I know I would not have minded." He then, as though he hadn't just said anything, picked up what was left of his coffee and left the kitchen.

Wufei stared after him in shock, her eyes wide. It was only when she heard Duo's choked noise that she turned her attention to him. The poor boy was bright red in a blush and had a slightly glazed look in his eyes. Wufei decided that was a good moment to leave, picking up her bowl and moving towards the door. She needed to get away from everyone for a little while. Heero just declared this as their own mini war, and she was happy to oblige.

It was finally time to go and Wufei had her bag slung over her shoulder. To her confusion though she'd barely reached the door before she found her hands empty. Spinning around, she met amused dark blue eyes.

"It wouldn't be gentlemanly to allow you to carry this yourself." Heero ducked around the spluttering pilot of Shenlong as she tried to think up a suitable retort.

Heero glanced back over his shoulder with a genuine smile as he saw that Wufei wasn't looking at him. He liked the other pilot, and he hoped that his little plan, aided by that interesting ring, would add up to being something. For now, it was just fun to throw the gender bender off base. He'd never thought Wufei the sort to play pranks. That was perfectly acceptable though, as none of them had any idea what awaited them at the school. He intended to make sure none of the others got warning either.

Heero was nearly to the car before Wufei snapped out of her indignant daze. "I don't care how gentlemanly you are! I never needed to be coddled before, don't go starting now!" She hurried after the amused boy, who was just setting their things into the vehicle.

"Oh, of course not. How do you think people will react to seeing you at the school? You've never gone undercover as a female before, so you have no idea. These things." Heero paused, trying to keep a smirk off his face as he circled the car and opened her door while she blushed. "Are perfectly usual at private schools. Might as well get used to it, well, or get insulted, your choice."

Wufei lifted her chin and met Heero's gaze as she slid into the car, then swept her skirt into the car. "I can be a very good woman, thank you very much. You just watch me!"

Heero closed the door, circling back around it to get in. "I intend to."

Wufei had settled into her seat and enjoyed the silence as they headed out to the school. It was a bit of a shock that when they were a mile away from the school Heero started talking. It was even more disconcerting over his topic.

"Wufei, since you haven't ever been in a female role while on a mission, I would like you to pretend you are my girlfriend on this one." Heero didn't even glance over, but he could practically hear Wufei's jaw drop.

Wufei took that in, not sure whether to be please, insulted, or something else entirely. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me correctly. Do you accept the offer? It would be best for the mission. Otherwise you might be at risk for exposure to unwanted advances, and we would have no reason to contact each other." Heero still hadn't looked at her.

Wufei glared at him in annoyance, but could find no fault with his logic. The annoying... man! Wufei drew herself up short. Did she just use man as an insult? Wufei slunk down in her seat, trying to figure out that twist of logic. "I accept your offer."

Heero nodded in satisfaction, turning his head a little as he smirked. All according to the plan.

-_________________-

It wasn't fair. It just wasn't fair. Wufei had been separated from Heero, her things collected by the people in the office and brought here. That wasn't what had her in a state of total shock. No, that was entirely due to the name she found herself enrolled under. Come on, Chung Lu Zinia? Where did Heero come up with that... thing? Wufei frowned in annoyance, moving around her room.

Zinia... It wasn't a bad name. But... A flower? Honestly. Wufei found herself wavering between feeling complimented, and feeling horribly insulted. Wufei shook her head, dispelling her thoughts as there was a knock on the door. It must be the student they said they'd send to show her around and get her schedule to her. Wufei moved to the door, opening it to look outside, and froze. No, life just hated her.

"Hello! My name is Relena Darlian. My room is three down from yours and I'm going to be the one to show you around." A faint frown crossed Relena's face, and she offered the schedule before immediately drawing it back towards herself. "I'm afraid they didn't tell me your name, but here is your schedule."

Wufei eyed the schedule, taking in the differences between this somewhat sane sounding blond and her obsessed clone. There was just no way they could be one and the same. "Chung Lu Zinia." Wufei closed her door, inching out to stand beside Relena. Her new name earned a beaming smile from the blond princess.

"Wonderful! The last name is your name, right? I've met a few people from the orient before." At Wufei's cautious nod, she decided to continue speaking. "Well, Zinia, I suppose we should go through your classes first so you can find them..." Relena trailed off, grabbing Wufei's wrist in her free hand before proceeding to make off with her down the hallway. "I know, you seem to have many classes with me. Are you fifteen too?" Another nod from Wufei. "Great! Well, I have four of these seven classes with you. Let's see, here's your first class..."

Wufei only paid partial attention to Relena. When she wasn't talking about Heero she didn't seem to be too bad... Heero would still suffer.

-________________-

Dinner was the next time that Wufei got to see her fellow pilot. Relena had been excused from her classes to make sure she didn't have any problems finding things, and to thoroughly aquaint her with the school. This meant that Wufei hadn't gotten a second alone since Relena showed up at her door. She was almost gleefully anticipating the show that was assured to happen once Relena saw Heero. It wasn't evil. It was just that she wanted to get Heero back very, very badly.

The blonde, with an admonishment to be good, finally released Wufei before Relena moved off to greet her friends. Wufei lingered by the door until she saw a very familiar person. Let the games begin.

Wufei sidled up to Heero, taking his arm with her own and settling himself firmly beside him. She could feel Heero's startlement, but ignored it as she leaned over to whisper. "Zinia? I should beat you for that. What did you name yourself?"

Heero relaxed as he got a good look at the indignant expression on Wufei's face and a slow smirk found its way across his lips. "Odin Tarou."

Wufei's eyes widened and Heero could almost hear her growl. "And you named me Zinia?"

Heero smirked more widely, tugging Wufei along into the cafeteria so they weren't blocking the doorway. He was leading her to the lunch line. He hadn't yet seen Relena, but she had seen him. "You do it justice."

"Who are you, to talk to me about justice?" Wufei glared, gesturing with her free hand as Heero looked on in utter amusement at the display. She didn't even realize he was smiling at her. She was too indignant. Her voice was getting louder too. "I will never again allow you to choose such a thing for me. If I must, I will list these things for you so you have no room to misunderstand!" Wufei stomped her foot at the end of her sentence, pulling back to cross her arms.

Relena approached them a second later, gaze flicking from one to the other before her eyes rested on Heero. She knew better by now than to go shrieking Heero's name all over. No, now she waited to get his name when they were at schools before following him around. "You two know each other?"

Heero stilled and his gaze flicked to Relena, the smile vanishing in an instant as he moved behind Wufei for protection, caused Wufei to smirk to herself. "Of course. Odin was with me at my last school."

"You are well aquainted?" Relena spoke then stepped around Wufei, who turned to watch Heero move around to her other side, trying to keep her between Relena and himself. It was both amusing and sad to watch it.

Heero nodded, managing to get behind Wufei and he pulled her up against his chest like a shield, causing the other Asian pilot to visibly stiffen. "Tarou, release me before I feel the need to hurt you."

Heero leaned in resting his lips near Wufei's ear. "Remember that we are supposed to be together here."

Wufei wasn't pleased to hear this and narrowed her eyes, tilting her head away from Heero's lips as she watched Relena's eyes narrow. She didn't want the politician mad at her. From the look in the blonde haired girl's eyes, she didn't think there was any escaping it. Goody. "I don't care. Get off me."

Heero tightened his grip instead. Wufei wasn't trying to push at him, just verbally dissuade him. It was embarrassing for Heero to be doing this. She was supposed to embarrass him, not vice versa. "I'm not moving." Heero turned his eyes on Relena. "Excuse us." Heero then tugged Wufei forward in line so he could get their food.

"I had to spend all day with that girl." Wufei's voice was highly annoyed, but she let herself be tugged off to a table. She was really starting to wonder if agreeing to this dating farce had been a wise idea.

"I'm sorry. Let's just eat. We'll talk about this later." Heero gestured a bit, then sat them both down at the table. Heero was starting to regret his choice of schools to carry out this plan at.

To be continued.
