Artificial rain pouring down in sheets, blanketing the ground, running off the windows of a large house that loomed in the distance, barely a shadow in the onslaught of falling water. Four men drove toward the mansion, not knowing what would lie beyond the doors of the titanic shape.

"Quatre you have visitors!" called a beautiful blonde from the bottom of one of the hundreds of staircases in the Winner Mansion.
"Coming!" Quatre Winner a blonde haired, blue-eyed boy called to his sister. He put down the paper he had been reading, he would could let his mind wander to the person that had written it later, right now he had to concentrate on telling the last people, he cared about, who didn't know.
Quatre descended the stairs in a haze, mentally imagining the soft white skin, blue hair, and pink poet lips of the girl who had written him. "Michelle," Quatre whispered to him self as the he put his foot on the last step where his sister was standing.
"Oh will you put your girl friend out of your mind for ten minutes, there are four rowdy boys down stairs who are demanding to see you! As much as you hate to admit it, that means you're out of seduced "boyfriend" mode and into controlling "master-of-the-house" mode, please."
"Sorry, I just can't stop thinking about..."
"I DON'T want to know, just get out there and do what it is you do best, win over peoples hearts and get these hooligans out of here!"
Quatre laughed to himself as he descended the last flights of stairs to his friends. What now had Duo done? He didn't even have to ask to know that it ways, it wasn't hard Duo had insulted his sister. Trowa had been here before, and only insulted on of his sisters by telling her that orange wasn't her color, and she had forgiven him. Heero had never been anywhere near his colony, as far as Quatre knew, and if he had, nothing big had come from it. Wufie would have stuck his nose up and meditated as, and of this Quatre was sure; Duo flirted with every thing with long hair and a skirt.
And he wasn't that far off.
"Duo you are making a dishonor of your self come here and sit down, what if Quatre saw your behavior with his family, he would have every right to rein your head from its neck," shouted Chang Wufie. The Chinese boy looked as angry as ever, black eyes flashing dangerously, muscles tense under his white shirt, and standing akimbo, pale Asian hands resting on white clad legs that ended in sharp black shoes.
Trowa stood up blue jean casual, with a light blue button up shirt. Having not seen his friend he and Heero, also in blue jeans and his signature green tank went and pulled a brown haired, blue eyed, priestly dressed Duo and Wufie into separate chairs across the room so that they could not reach each other.
Quatre straitened his light red button up, stiff cotton shirt and smoothed his kaki pants, buttoned up his blue vest and made himself known to the room.
" Hello everybody! I hope you have not had to wait to long for my arrival; I was working on some letters written by some important investors. But that is a bunch of boring details that I'm sure you would not like to know, so why don't we all sit down," for they had all stood when he had walked in and shook his hand, "and let us get down to why I called you all here today."
"Sure thing Quat, but first, may I use your phone? I promised Hilde that I would phone as soon as I got here." Boomed the braided boy, his denim blue eyes sparkling.
"Um sure," Quatre waved a servant to fetch Duo a phone and motioned for everyone to take a seat.
"While we wait for Duo's phone to arrive, I would like to ask if any of you know what you're doing with your life now that the wars are over? I know that many of you are now working with various odd jobs, but I mean personally, I don't want to know what, but think if you have thought about rearing children, or the like of your own? Cause that is what I would like to talk about today."
At this moment the servant walked back in with Duo's phone so any strange questions were momentarily stalled.
"Duo when you are finished I would like to talk to Hilde if you don't mind."
"Not at all Quatre, but if your going to ask here if I've asked her to marry me, I haven't." Duos fingers deftly punched in the numbers and the video screen glowed white, and picture coming on when Hilde answered. "Hey Hilde, babe? This is Duo, can you hear me?"
"Duh. I guess the stupid questions mean you arrived safely?"
"Of course. And how is everything?
Good
"Good. Listen babe Quatre wants to ask you something k?"
"Sure, hey Quatre, Congratulations, I heard yesterday from my sister, I'm very happy for you."
"Thank you Hilde, actually that's wanted to talk to you about. Michelle wanted to know if you and Hutaro would be in the party?"
"Let me ask real quick." Hilde disappeared from the screen for a moment then popped right back on. "We would both be delighted. Is she there?"
"No she went to Earth to talk to some other friends. Amara has already accepted any part bigger than family, so I think there is only a few more that she needs. Look I got to tell your boyfriend and our friends, if he stops flirting with my sisters, so I'll let him call you later okay?"
"Sure, I have a sister to entertain right now any way, later Baby, I'll be seeing you soon Kay?"
"Okay babe."
"Ok that was weird. What's going on Quatre?"
"Well you see. Before my father died he betrothed me to a girl from Earth whose family it was very imperative for mine to be part of. Neither of us got along very well, and well her father said that if she didn't want to marry me that we didn't have to.
"Then the War broke out and we both enlisted in different ways. Actually she was part of the reasons the school blew up. Anyway, during that time we hated each other. Her, a spy for the Specials, working directly with Une and Trieze and Noin and Zechs. Her and one of her friends. Hilde's sister Hutaro. Well needless to say that when the war was over, there was still a large amount of bitterness between. If we were more public together, you could have easily seen that we were walking billboards for the way the Earth Sphere felt.
"What was really weird was that during one of our many confrontations after the immediate end of the war I realized that I actually cared about her. Slowly that care became friendship, and around the time Marie Maya attacked the ESUN I fell in love with her.
"I kept a straight face about her and remained the son of a bitch that I had always been around her, until recently, both of us confessed our love, and her father found out, so know in three weeks I marry Michelle.
"I know its rude of me to call you up here with out reason, but your some of my only friends, I wanted to make sure that you were here for my wedding."
A stunned silence followed Quatre's speech.
Then Duo started laughing. "Come on Quatre, you really expect us to believe that any of us would actually get married, even to a girl that was so high in the Specials to ever put up with us? Much less fall in love. Do you realize how many of her comrades were killed by one of us, even yourself. That was a nice try Quatre. You had me going until the part were you confessed your love. Wohooo that was a good one!"
"I'm not lying."
"Sir Lady Kaiou is here to see you."
"WHAT SHE'S BACK!"
Quatre stood up from his chair and ran out into the front hall.
"Quatre!"
"Kaiou Michiru you were supposed to call me before you came back, so I could warn the guys. Why...? Oh who cares, Michelle I've missed you. How went your expedition to find those people you wanted at the wedding?"
"I would've called but I wanted to surprise you. It went great. First Lieutenant Noin and Baron Merquise have both agreed to be apart of the wedding party, and all of my friends I asked to come and those I asked to be in the wedding said yes. Have you spoken with Hilde and Hutaro yet, what did they say?"
"Michelle calm down, it ok they both said yes but your going to have to call Hutaro back, and she's at Hilde to confirm her being Maid of Honor. Oh yea," Quatre said as the boys walked up," these are my friends. Gundam Pilot of the Wing Gundam Zero, Heero Yuy, Gundam Pilot of the Gundam Deathscythe Hell Duo Maxwell, Gundam Pilot of the Gundam Heavyarms Trowa Barton, and gundam pilot of the Gundam Altron Chang Wufie." Each man nodded in awe and jealousy of the woman Quatre was marring.
"Hello. My name is Kaiou Michiru, my friends call me Michelle. How do you do?"
Michelle was beautiful long flowing blue hair, blue eyes and soft tan skin
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Hello."
Every one shook hands and stared as the beautiful woman looked each man in the eyes and smiled showing off perfect straight white teeth. She didn't show any resentment or any anger. Was this woman really an ex- Specials officer?
"Okay now correct me if I'm wrong, ok?" Michelle said and riddled off what each one had done two years earlier. Starting with Wufie and his lost wife, and ending with Quatre's recently announced engagement.
"Amazing how did you...?" Duo faltered
"Well you see according to his Excellency my job was to know what people didn't want me to know, and I still do it quite nicely for Une if I may say so myself." Michelle smiled. Making men weak in the knees was her specialty. But this group had girlfriends, some she had left out of her earlier exploits of their lives. She'd use that as blackmail later. Gods she loved being evil. Neptune and Demeter forgive her. "So Duo you are dating Ho... Hilde, sorry, right, I must ask, is she still a pyromaniac?"
"Um for as long as I've known her she hasn't been."
"Oh. Oh ok. That's cool I guess."
"Sire?" a butler interrupted
"Yes?"
"There is a call from one, Lady Une, It is urgent."
