Xavier and Zelig made their way to the West Wing. They were walking along, minding their own business, as always, when a student suddenly stopped in front of them. Zelig looked up to see a tall, pretty girl who was smiling at them.
"Hey cuties." she said. "You guys want to go have some fun?"
"No thank you." Zelig replied as Xavier turned away disinterestedly.
"Aw, don't be that way, sweetie pie." the girl protested. "Let's go have a drink and dance or something."
"We have previous plans." Zelig said.
"Oh yeah?" the girl said disbelievingly. "What?"
"We're supposed to meet our friend." Zelig lied.
"Who?" the girl challenged.
"Duo." Xavier spoke up suddenly.
"Duo? That gorgeous boy with the braid?" the girl said with a leer.
"Yes." Xavier said firmly. "And no, he's not interested in having you join us, so please excuse us."
The girl stared at Xavier in astonishment as he stepped around her. Zelig followed Xavier, hiding his own astonishment. He didn't expect Xavier to do something like that. That fight must have triggered something. THis was the old friend that he remembered. |
