Chapter One:
Heero!
"Boys... Why are they distracting me so? Will this end?" she dialed into base. "I just need another mission to distract my mind."
"Oui, 'ello
"Hey Jag! I didn't think that you would pick up! I'm so glad you did! d where have you been? I'm sorry, who are you calling for?" Quatre Raberba Winner inquired excitedly."Hi Quatre, Well I can't exactly tell you where I've been. Could I ask you to put Doctor J online?" Jag said without emotion; but unspoken thankfulness to see a familiar face instead of the Doctors.
"Sure, give me a one minute," Quatre pressed mute on the screen. " Hey, guys its Jag. Can some one call Dr. J, Jag needs to talk to him?"
"Sure I'll see if I can persuade doctor J to talk with her," Heero Yuy said as he floated toward the door
"Heero don't go slinking off! I bet she would luv to see you!" Duo giggled.
"I promise I'll be right back! I'll just call her in my room after," Heero's body suddenly hit the invisible barrier of the gravity of the hall, and fell on his rear with a thud and the group laughed at him.
"Nice one Heero!" Melissa laughed. Heero stalked off to Doctor J's office and knocked.
"Come in Heero, now let me guess that your hear to tell me that Jag is calling for me, right?" Doctor J said Heero's message.
" Hey how did you know?" Heero's mouth went back into it's normal almost sad, passive face.
Doctor J took his question as a yes. "Really, What do you think she was calling for, Heero?" Doctor J asked over the noise of the four other doctors arguing over a problem; Jag.
"By the sounds of it she's probably calling for another mission. Trying to skip the holidays again. Even Wuefi wants to see her," Heero smirked.
"Hum, tell her I'll be about twenty minutes, make sure she gets to talk with at least two of you guys. Well get!" said Doctor J as he turned back to the quarrelling professors. "See I told you that Jag would call some time," doctor J said after Heero left.
Heero ran through the door and hit the barrier of no gravity and began to spin, entered the room telling the group Doctor J would be about twenty minutes.
"Wuefi please talk with Jag!" Heero pleaded.
"And tell me why I am going to talk to that… THAT WOMAN!" Wuefi nearly punched Heero's face inside out.
"Because I told you to and if you don't I get to beat the honor out of your hide! Plus I'm leaving before you lose your temper," Heero
"All right, all right I'll talk with Jag for a minute. But it's not going to be pretty, I'm telling you she does not like talking to me," Wuefi Chang said in his passive voice. "Here it goes."
Heero turned to leave when Duo tackled Heero to the floor, which is very hard in an anti-gravity room.
"Not so fast kid, you still have to talk to her!" Duo struggled to dodged his fist which barley missed his nose.
"I SAID I'LL CALL HER AFTER! When will you get that through your thick American skull?" Heero took off running down the hall.
"Duo don't follow him. I think he needs time to himself," Melissa restrained the angered fifteen-year-old.
"What is taking him so long? I guess he's going to get me to talk with one of the boys. Oh look I was right. I wonder why they put Wuefi on? Oh well." "Hello Wuefi, what in the world was that about? And how long until Doctor J can talk?" Jag sped into her questions.
"It will be about twenty minutes, Doctor J said to talk with you till he can have a word with you," Wuefi said with silent hate. "Where have you been?"
"Um… I can't tell you," Jag said uncomfortably.
Wuefi watched her face carefully while she answered this question. "Well why not?"
"It is personal business," as Jag she fixed Wuefi a glare that he did not want to find out.
"Wuefi," Heero called carefully re-entering the room. "Melissa would most likely would want to talk to Jag."
"Well, I guess Melissa would like to talk with you," Wuefi let out a sigh of relief sounding and relaxed as Melissa moved toward Wuefi. "Here you go see if you can get her to tell you anything. Your gonna' die Yuy!"
"Oh I think I can get her to speak, you now that she is my best friend," Melissa came up to the screen to talk with Jag. "Jag, what's up you look troubled? Are you talking to yourself again?"
"Sort of, but I'll be just fine. If you are wondering where I've been I don't want to talk about it now. I tell you when I come back, by the way how is Trowa? I really didn't want to hurt him but… he was in my way at that moment."
"Oh, Trowa is just fine he is fully recovered. He thinks it was kind of you to leave him in the docking bay. Will you be home for the holidays? To tell you the truth everyone misses you in their own way, even Wuefi miss you," Melissa flipped upside down.
What should I tell her? I don't know whether I will be or not. "Well, I'm not exactly sure. If I don't get assigned another mission then I'll come back."
"Okay. Jags I know you probably don't want to talk about this, but I need to know why are you avoiding coming back to base? Everyone is worried, I don't like to see you work solo," Melissa asked worriedly.
Yes you know I don't want to talk about it, but she'll find out sooner or later. " The reason is I just… I just don't like being that close to boys. Particular Heero… the other part of the truth is I don't like returning to base is because I don't like that close of contact with the doctors," Jag rushed the words out. To her amazement it actually made her feel worse for she had lied to her friend, because the truth was hidden from her.
"Really, well I'd better go, I'll let you talk to Heero," Melissa turned to leave.
"NO NOT HEERO!" Jag lunged at the screen.
"Oh I think he does want to talk with you!" Heero sprinted as well as you can without gravity for the nearest escape route. "Oh no you don't grab him boys!"
Heero was pinned against the wall by Quatre, Wuefi and Duo.
"I said I would fin' call her back later!" Heero struggled pointlessly against the boys' grip.
"Well Shut the H-E-double-hockey-sticks up. And speak!" Melissa commanded the enraged Heero. Suddenly doctor J came onto the screen and cut off their signal making it a private conversation between himself and Jag Mayday
"Hello Jag, it is good to see that you haven't been killed or injured. How did operation Star Light go?" Doctor J looked at Jag's hands.
"Operation Star Light was successful with no problems at all. The package you told me to send will be entering the Earth's atmosphere in about 02:00hours. Now may I have another mission?" Jag asked impatiently.
"Sure, this is you're next mission; make it to the age twenty, and come home without being killed or injured, and to have a happy holiday here preferably," doctor J with a smile. "Oh and when you come back to base the doctors and I would like to have a talk with you. And remember you are always wanted here." Followed by the ending of the transmission.
"Well that was interesting, I hope he wasn't expecting. Because he never told me to return to base," Jag said to no one in particular. " You hear that I won't be joining you this year or next year, I have to live because I was told to…" tears began to roll down her fifteen year old face, not making a sound.
"So Melissa what did Jag have to say?" Trowa said as he drifted into the room where every one was gathered.
"All she said was that the only reason she didn't want to return to base is because she didn't like being that close to the doctors," but Heero cut Melissa short.
"She lied to you Melissa," Heero said quite bluntly.
"Heero she has her reasons to lie about why she doesn't like to come back. And were just going to have to respect that," suddenly Quatre's face changed to panic. "Melissa did Jag say she was coming back?"
"Let me think no. Why do you ask?" Melissa said shortly.
Before Quatre could answer Wuefi ran to the door. " Way ahead of you Quatre, everyone head to you're Gundams 'cause Jag isn't coming back. Who knows where she's headed, but if we want her to come back we have to catch her first." There was a sudden rush for the hanger bay, when the Doctors stopped the pilots.
"Well, well, what do we have hear, six Gundam pilots running for their Gundams when they're not on a mission. Can you give me a reason?" one of the doctors mussed.
"Jag is not coming back to base so we have to go and get her!" Melissa said in a hurry.
"Surely you don't need six of you, to catch one person? In fact I will only allow two people to go," Doctor J lectured. " Heero and Melissa will go. For the rest of you go and do what you wish. Melissa, Heero follow me please." Once they had turned the corner Doctor J handed both Heero and Melissa a gun. "This is for when Jag is out of her Gundam. If she is in her Gundam this, it is a new piece of technology that will send her Gundam out of working order until you press power. If Jag does not take to the tranquilizer your on your own. Now get you two."
My guess is Doctor J has probably assigned someone to come and catch me. With any luck it won't be Wuefi, he has no respect for women. That boy needs to be taught a lesson, add him to my find and humiliate no wait put him on my seek and destroy list. Oh I know put him on both of my lists. I'd better start heading down to Earth, my soldiers will need training besides who ever is going after me will never suspect I've gone to earth. On second thought why don't I just go back to base. No I can't do that I would ruin the fun of running form the others. Ha! I know I want to return. Oh well it is just for a week besides it isn't even a holiday… oh wait it is damn! So I may as well return. Yes I'd better return before I change my mind.
Knowing Jag she is probably going to enjoy this little chase,
Heero thought. Why did Wuefi have to say woman were inferior to men? Wuefi is probably in for a lesson; he's never had to fight Jag. I have to admit She fights better than I do! She's even a better soldier than I am! Not for long though, if she keeps missing training sessions she'll never learn new strategies, unless she has already completed the training."Heero I'm picking up some thing headed for Earth. I've looked in all of the flight schedules and there is no flight to earth at this time. Do you think it could be Jag?" Melissa said interrupting Heero's train of thought.
"We should check it out. But first let me call Wuefi, he needs to find out how Jag fights. And then maybe he would show some respect towards Jag," Heero said with thought. " Melissa, you go ahead and see if you can stop her or better talk her out of it. But I'm pretty sure you won't talk her out of it." Jag please don't get you're self killed; 'cause you know you have something I want…I want you. I will always remember when we were youngsters together, how you always where four or five steps ahead of me. I remember you always tackled me and pinned me. Oh how I miss the old-days without having to chase you to see you're face. Enough of these silly memories! Back to calling Wuefi. " Wuefi pick up it's Heero. All I need you to do is come and help me capture Jag. No time for questions, I don't want her to escape so hurry!"
I wonder why Heero called me? I can't believe that Heero needs help capturing Her! I bet he just wants me to fight her. Well, that's just fine by me, girls can't fight at all. They so emotional they never kill anyone. They're such weaklings, can't even protect themselves or anyone else. Jag you'd better look out 'cause here I come, ready or not!
"Heero! Jag won't talk with me. All she said was that if we don't get out of her way she'd blow us up! It's a good thing..." Melissa stopped in mid-sentence. " What the heck is Wuefi doing over here!?!"
"Wuefi is here to fight Jag. He needs to learn to respect Jag as a woman, and as a person. You'll understand some day," Heero said turning to see Wuefi stop next to him.
"Here I am Heero. So what's up, having some trouble with Jag?" Wuefi sneered.
"Actually the only reason you are here is because you need to learn to respect her. The only way you'll ever learn that is if you fight her. So knock you're self out, weakling," Heero teased.
"I wouldn't be talking Mr. Nice-Guy. You're talking way out of you're safety zone," Wuefi said rudely to Heero.
"Enough fighting you two, Jag will make her escape before you would decide to stop arguing! Now get on it Wuefi!" Melissa barked.
"You guys send you're weakest player to fight me! How very foolish of you, really I thought you would send some one more challenging. It's you're mistake," Jag arrogantly boasted.
"Oh yeah Jag! You're going to be so sorry that you said that!" Wuefi stormily shouted. "You won't even remember who you are!"
"I wouldn't be so sure Wuefi, Jag can beat Heero without bullets," Melissa cautioned.
"Well then I'll beat Jag with my shirt on!" Wuefi yelled over the intercom, while Jag made her breakaway.
Fools. While they are quarreling I make my getaway. Now back to business I should have about three hundred thousand new recruits. Now I remember I don't have to train them until June 17th! So I guess I have a few months of freedom. I think I'll go home…home to Spain. I bet Samuel and the others will be surprised to see me. I can't wait till I can ride Dragon; I wonder how Lightning is doing?
Wuefi, who had just shot his Flame-thrower directly at her head, interrupted jag"Oh Wuefi you want to fight now well it's a little to late for that! So you're going to get the quick and easy way."
"Oh yeah, I bet you're quick and easy way is taking a shot and running! I bet you wouldn't even fight me, you weakling!" Wuefi taunted. "One shot from my flame thrower and you'd be calling for you're mommy."
"I wouldn't be so sure Mr. Sharp-mouth. Let the battle begin!" Jag said with a battle plan forming in her mind.
Mean while doctor J and the others watched the battle heat up. When Master O commented that Jag seemed to be winning at the moment, and that Doctor J should get Heero to turn off both Jag and Wuefi's Gundams.
"Hum…Doctor J why are you calling?" Heero asked as Jag nearly hit him for the fourth time in a row.
"Heero I need you to shut down both Jag and Wuefi's Gundams, then get Melissa to carry Wuefi's Gundam to docking bay C2, and I want you to brig Jag to docking bay A13. All right."
"Fine by me, but why do we have to bring them in different Docking bays?" Heero questioned.
"Well, the only reason that they should be brought in different docking bay is, could you imagine bring two people whom where rudely interrupted from trying to take each other's heads off, picked up by another Gundam and carried to a place neither of them want to be right now. Then brought into the same room as their opponent. They would literally try to rip each other apart!" doctor J said irritated.
"All right here it goes," Heero said as he pushed the switch down and the two Gundams that were engaged in a fierce headlock let go of each other and secede to function. "Melissa you grab Wuefi and take him to docking bay C2, I'll take Jag."
"I hope this plan of yours works, because you know that Jag has extremely dangerous fire arms, and if need be she will use it. On us!"
"Of course I know that she has great power. But still I know that she would not endanger anyone other than herself. Perhaps this little incident will cure her problem with coming back to base… Master O would you mind getting ready to hold Wuefi. Knowing him he'll probably want to rip Jag from limb to limb" Doctor J said as he took a tranquilizer dart and said. "I'll deal with Jag." Grinning to show all of his teeth.
"Let me go, or I will be forced to take you're arms off!" Jag said coolly.
"No…no I don't want to, besides we are already where we or should I say you are suppose to be," Heero said with his usual passive voice. " Doctor J, I've got Jag for you. Hope, you're ready to deal with any extremely angry girl."
"Sure let her out. But be prepared to get hurt if you come out when she's conscious, hopefully she'll come out in peace or I'll have to give her a rest."
"NO… I mean, okay," Heero said.
Half an hour later.
"Jag, Jag you can come out now… Some time today would be nice," Heero coaxed Jag out of her Gundam. "Its about time that you came out."
"Ah it's nice to see you've decided to come out, " Doctor J said.
"Why I 'ought to rip you form limb to limb, you deliberately stop two people from trying to kill each other," With that Jag turned to leave Heero and Doctor J, just as Jag turned around he pulled the trigger.
Jags limp body fell to the hard cold metal floor.
She awoke to find herself in the sick bay with her hand cuffed to the bed, keeping her from running as soon as she awoke. Her head was throbbing for some strange reason.
Jag looked down at her watch to see what time it was, her watch said 18:00. So she had been asleep for roughly ten minutes. ' Oh isn't this great! I can't believe they don't think I can't get out of these stupid handcuffs'. After three minutes Jag broke the handcuffs. ' To easy, can't these guys remember I can slip any type of handcuffs. Idiots! When I get my hands on those slimly excuses for doctors … Wait Jag MayDay, wait! If you kill them now you will be putting everyone including you in danger, not to mention I would lose…Forget that idea may as well go to my room.
"Well what do you know! She can recover within twenty minutes of injury and she ready to go!" Doctor J said with mild excitement.
"I wonder what she's thinking right about now. Hmm…" Master O said as his brain worked on a plan.
"What are you thinking Master O?" Doctor J inquired.
"Well… no it really doesn't have anything related to her mission you know, or her life…" But Doctor J cut him short.
"It doesn't have to be about her missions, so tell dear friend."
"If we want to get a better sense of Jag's emotion we may get a better idea of how she thinks…" Master O trailed off.
"I see what you mean. If we can understand her emotions we may have more control over her, but that would mean you would have to have…" Doctor G said.
"But who should we send?" Master O asked Doctor J.
"I don't know, I don't know. Let us think on this," Doctor J said looking at his four other comrades.
Jag walked up to her door and opened it and nearly screamed. "Heero what the hell are you doing in my room? Why are you dressed like that?" looking at Heero's clothes which wasn't much at all.
"I came to see you…" Heero trailed off. "You know I haven't seen you for a long time and I need to talk…"
"First why did you come to see me? What are you planning to do? Secondly what do you need to talk about? Last of all why are you wearing only your tighty-whites?" Jag asked staring at him.
"Why did I come to see you, because I missed you. Why am I wearing so little? Let's just say my clothes weren't dry. For your other questions this should answer them perfectly…" Heero got up off of Jag's bed walked up to her; he took her in his arms as a consequence Jag could not get away. Heero looked into her eyes and said. "I love you." after he finished speaking he kissed her.
"Heero why…" but Jag was cut off by Heero placing a finger over her lips to tell her to be silent.
"Be still," he whisked her off her feet and carried her to her bed. "You should rest. Don't talk, for I know what you will say, and I will leave," Heero got up from her bedside; he walked to the door and looked back one last time.
"Wait!" Jag yelled but Heero had already shut the door and was gone.
"I wonder why he was here he better not be integrating! Oh well he's right I should go to sleep,"
these where Jag's last thoughts before she fell asleep.
