Operation: Mobile Suit! *Jazziest2@aol.com*

Author's very long, yet important note: Okay, so this is a fanfic that takes place after Endless Waltz. *It's not after Blind Target, since I haven't read it yet.* I'm kinda basing it off some RP situations both me and my little brother (who RPs as Duo) have had, and, like, one fanfic that I've done. There'll be a page you can go to soon, so. yeah. ^^; It's kinda long, so. I'll explain the rest in the fic, okie?

Oh yeah, Duet and Seiben were in a fanfic done by my brother's friend's friend, but the little girl's so cute I had to throw her in here. (Seiben's somewhat cool, but I couldn't think of a name, so.) I also took the liberties of ignoring Sally (since Chronus was before I found out more about her. and I just plain don't like her.). One last note: the ages are:

Anna Yuy- 7 Troy Yuy-8 Tre Barton-9, Belle Barton-7 (the last born of the eight year olds) Ferio Anthony and Sandy Augusta Raberba Winner-8 (Twins) Duet and Dimitri Maxwell- 8 (Also Twins) Hana Chang -4, Kiko(zono)-9 Lee Chang- 8, Sakura Chang- 3 months Shannon Peacecraft (Merquise)- 8 and Seiben Peacecraft (Merquise) 9

-Winter/Terri P.S.: Neo has to do with one of my ff's, Sailor Moon: Neo.

Chapter 1: Operation: Mobile Suit!

It's a quiet day outside today. Well, kinda. It's never quiet in the Yuy- Peacecraft household, especially since the birth of Anna, their daughter.

Anna: Daddy!!!

Heero: Oh no. here we go again

Anna: *runs into the room* Daddy, Daddy! I want a Sailor Neo-Sun doll!

Heero: Well, go ask your mother. I'm not buying you any more dolls. You need some war booklets or something.

Anna: But Daaadyyyy! Mommy won't buy it for me, so you haave to!

Heero: *smirks as he squats down to Anna's height* That was the point, sweetie. If Daddy doesn't wanna say no, he says 'go ask mommy' so she says it for me.

Anna: *sniffles* But daddy, don't you love me?

Heero: *pauses* . No.

Anna: *shrieks* Mommmyyyy!

Relena comes into the room, all miffed, seeing as though she was watching her favorite show at the time.

Relena: *sighs* What is it now, Anna?

Anna: Daddy says he doesn't love me!

Relena: Heero!

Heero: *looks up at Relena* . What?

Relena: You can't say that to our daughter! What would-

Heero: Don't say it.

Relena: -Milliardo and Noin think?

Heero: *yelling* DO YOU HONESTLY THINK I CARE WHAT YOUR PSYCHOTIC BROTHER AND HIS WIFE THINK?

Relena and Anna: *blink, blink*

Heero: Besides, she was begging again. *Both Anna and Relena facefault*

Over at the Winner household, things are somewhat better. Minami is cooking lunch, and Duo and Hildi have brought their two children, Dimitri and Duet, to play with the Winner twins, Sandy and Ferio *I've heard that name somewhere before. Where's it from?*

In the Den

Ferio: Yes-huh! Father is better than your dad will ever be!

Dimitri: No, he's not! My dad is-

Duet: *Watching Sailor Moon Neo and drawing* was-

Dimitri: *sideglance* -shut up, Duet!- IS the Great Destroyer, the God of Death, the-

Ferio: The most chaotic, non-peace loving jerk in the world! Father believes in peace, and the virtues of life. What does your father do all day?

Duet: *still doodling* Work on cars all day and watch TV with Mommy when he's tired.

Ferio: *pushes his glasses up on his nose* Precisely, my dear Duet.

Sandy: Shut up, both of you! *Everyone turns to look at her* Neo-Sun's about to die again, and I don't wanna miss it! *1*

Dimitri: *turns off the TV*

Sandy: *blink, blink*

Ferio: Uh-oh.

Back in the kitchen, Minami and Hildi are talking.

Minami: Isn't it great that our children get along so well, Hildi?

Hildi: *nods* I hear that Noin and Relena's kids argue all the time, and about the smallest things!

*CRASH* *from the Den*

Sandy: YOU LITTLE FREAK! I WAS WATCHING THAT! HOW DARE YOU SHUT OFF THE TV!

Dimitri: Ow, Sandy! Let go of my hair! *squeals* Duet! Help me!

Duet: *hiding with Ferio behind the couch* Negative, Dimitri! I'm smart enough to know not to mess with Sandy when she's watching Neo! You'll just-

*Dimitri screams, more crashing noises*

Duet: .

Ferio: .

*Minami looks at Hildi*

Hildi: Minami. tell me that was the TV.

Both run at a mad dash into the den, where Sandy is seething in the middle of the room, holding her Sailor Neo-Sun doll *the one that Anna wants*. Ferio and Duet are peering, wide eyed, from behind the couch.

Minami: S-sandy? *no reply, she's just looking upward* *looks up*

. And Dimitri is hanging from the chandelier. He looks quite frightened, but he doesn't seem to want to come down just yet.

Quatre: *from upstairs* Hello? Anyone home?

On Colony L3, however, everything is peaceful. Lani and Noin have planned a picnic for one of Miliardo's and her own weekends home, and this is that weekend. The two have packed lunches, and Belle Barton, Tre Barton, and Shannon Peacecraft are riding in the back of the Barton minivan.

Belle: Mommy, do we have to go on vacation now? I was busy!

Lani: Belle, stop whining.

Belle: But Sailor Neo-Sun was-

Lani: Now. *has on a new chronium alloy mask. The Barton children don't pester their mother when "The Mask" *2* is on. *

Trowa *who happens to be driving*: Lani, what's with that mask?

Lani: *shrugs* It keeps the children under control. *confused* How did you- *angry* Keep your eyes on the road, Trowa!

Trowa: *keeps glancing over at Lani* But I wanna know where you got it from. Didn't your last one break during the war?

Miliardo: Watch out for the semi. *Tires screech as he nearly misses it.* *Shannon has started crying in the back, and Lani looks pretty angry now*

Lani: Stop looking at me and watch the road!

Tre: Hey Dad, you just passed the exit.

Trowa: Whoops, hold on. *makes a U-turn. in the middle of the highway*

Noin: Trowa, are you crazy? You could get us killed!

Trowa pulls it around and goes up the exit ramp. Everyone except Lani sighs in relief. She just sits there, brooding silently.

Tre: Dad, please don't ever do that again!

Lani: Trowa, stop the car, and get out.

Trowa: But sweetie, we're in the middle of the-

Lani: *Takes off her mask, revealing her blazing blue eyes against her long black hair* Now.

Trowa does so, and they change positions, Lani ignoring the blatant curses from people who are trying to get up the exit ramp they just parked on. At the sound of a horn, she turns around and pulls out a gun.

Lani: I am a very angry mother with three children in the car, two of whom have not shut up about Sailor Neo-Whatsherface-

Shannon: Neo-Sun.

Lani *head whips around*:- Shut it!- *all three children flinch visibly* for the past four hours. Do not make me use this.

The honking ceases, and Lani gets back in the car, where a dead silence has fallen. They drive up the ramp and make it to the park. Lani sits at the wheel of the car, silent, blinking once every 30 seconds as if she's trying to decide whether or not to strangle her husband.

Milliardo: *after a while* Excuse me if I'm mistaken, but isn't that Wufei's vehicle? *Lani looks out of the corner of her eye.*

Indeed it is. Wufei and Pearl get out, along with their four kids, Hana, Sakura, Lee, and Kiko*zono*. Lee does not seem too thrilled about the monthly "family outing". Kiko is listening to her walkman, screeching "Crawling" by Linkin Park under her breath while neglecting her various Neo- Venus arrows which are on the floor. Hana is busy eating Mandarin oranges in the back of the minivan as her mother attempts to clean the sticky mess from her hands with a Wet Nap before it gets on her kimono.

Lee: Father, do I have to stay with the girls the whole time?

Wufei: Quit your whining, Lee! You're starting to sound like a sissy. Anyway, Sakura's just a baby. A weak baby at that.

Pearl: Wufei! *Sakura starts whining.* Get me Saku-chan's diaper bag, please.

*Muttering, Wufei looks in the van, tossing around stuff like Kiko's Neo dolls.*

Wufei: Kikozono, you're cleaning out the van when we get home.

Kiko: *turns down her music* What?

Lee: He said you're cleaning out the van, Airhead.

Kiko: Nerd. One, I'm not. It's your turn this week.

Lee: Is not!

Kiko: Is too! And two, my name is Kiko.

Pearl: Watch your tone, Kikozono. And where did you come up with this "Kiko" crap? *looks at the back seat* Hana! How many of these did you eat?

Hana: Lee say he will give Hana nickel for every one she eats! *Pearl glances at Lee, who goes to help his father take things out of the van, whistling.*

Kiko: *sighs* It's what my American friends at school call me. Duh.

Lee: *mocking his sister* Duh, mom! *Wufei smacks him in the back of the head.*

Wufei: Confucius say "Man who interrupt cat fight, gain many scratches!"

Lee: Huh?

Wufei: Shut up and help me unload. weak baka.

Pearl: Well, you aren't American, now are you? *Kiko shakes her head* Then you will keep your traditional name of Kikozono.

Kiko: But it's too damn long!

Everyone freezes. The two parents look at her in stupor, and so do her siblings. Hana has stopped eating, and even baby Sakura has stopped crying. Wufei throws his hands into the air and starts looking back in the car.

Wufei: That's it! I'm enrolling you in a Chinese-Japanese charter school as soon as we get home!

Kiko: But Daadd!

She starts badgering him about why it is beneficial to stay in an "American school", while Wufei keeps pointing out how Duo turned out.

Hana *recognizes Shannon and Belle from about 20 yards away*: Look! *no one listens. Starts tugging on her mother's dress* Mommy, look!

Pearl: *not even looking* Yes, Hana-chan. That's nice. Now don't get any orange juice on Mommy's dress. She wouldn't like that. *Wipes Kiko's hands clean.*

Hana: Mamaaaa! *pouts, then goes over to Lee* Lee, look! It's your girlfriend!

Lee: *stares at her in confusion* I don't have a girlfriend!

Hana: It's Shannon! Lookat! *points just as Lee starts walking off*

Lee: Yeah, whatever, Hana-chan. *mutters* Honestly.

Pearl goes to help Wufei find the neglected diaper bag, and Hana gets out of the car. She walks over to the Barton minivan, smiling. Shannon sees the younger girl and picks her up.

Shannon: Hana-chan! Hi!

Hana: Nihao.

Noin: Shannon, can you give me a hand over here? Mommy needs some help. *Shannon puts down Hana, who starts trailing her.* I need you to take the basket over there by the- *blink* Oh, Hana! Hello.

Hana: Nihao Noin. *takes the picnic blanket and follows Shannon to a tree.*

Miliardo: Lucrezia, who're you talking to? *Peers around the van, then smiles briefly.* Oh. Hello, Hana-chan.

Hana: *calls back* Nihao, Mili-chan!

Trowa: Okay, that should be it. *looks around* Belle, Tre! Where'd you guys go?

Lani: *From the inside of the van* They went frog hunting.

Trowa: Not Belle! I just bought her that dress! *Lani shrugs indiferently*

Lani: She wanted to hunt frogs, so I let her. *Trowa makes a frustrated noise, then crosses his arms across his chest.*

Trowa: Why does she need to go hunting frogs anyway? She's a girl! And what's she gonna do with them?

Lani: She's going fishing with Miliardo and Tre later on. Quit being sexist. *Trowa opens his mouth to say something, but Lani's fingering the pistol's trigger absentmindedly. Sighing, he goes off to help Miliardo with the boat.*

Meanwhile, back at the Chang picnic site.

*Wufei and Lee come back, with a bunch of fish. Wufei has on a dorky fisherman's hat.* Wufei: Kikozono *she mouths "Kiko"*, it's time you learned some Japanese style cooking. *laughs nervously* That is, from your mother, of course.

Kiko: Uh-huh. *She's listening to "In the End" now. Wufei looks at her.*

Wufei: Um, Kikozono, are you listening?

Kiko: Not really... *Wufei's face turns red, and he snatches Kiko's Walkman* Huh? Dad, what're you doing?!

*Wufei chucks the Walkman into the lake.*

Kiko: Noooooo! *Starts wailing*

Wufei: You asked for it, Kiko-chan.

Hana, the Bartons, and the Peacecrafts roll past on a boat, breaking the CD player into tons of tiny fragments. It splashes up on the shore, causing Kiko to wail even louder.

Hana: Nihao, Daddy! *Wufei turns back to the lake and waves.*

Wufei: Hi, Hana-chan! Have fun! Wear your lifejacket! *Turns back to Lee, who's staring at the still crying Kiko* C'mon, son. We're about to go fry some fish, China-style.

Lee: Uh, dad, what about Hana? *Wufei doesn't hear him because he's already walked off.* *sighs* Ah well. Wait for me, Father!

~*~

And I think that's all for now! Latez~!

*1* I don't think that actually happened yet. *2* Lani was the leader of the Chronus Rebellion, under Minami's charge; she was a female version of Zechs and, when she wore her mask, she was used to having authority over others. This now includes her children.
