Since you read the summary when you decided to read this (I hope) you know the plot. The scene: an imaginary apartment complex housing most of the Gundam Wing characters, me and my little sister, and a few imaginary civilians in an imaginary city in any state you like, as long as it's in America.

*disclaimer* while following this line of speculation, it occurred to me that I should probably ask to borrow the cast for this. unfortunately, I don't know who to ask. well, I'm not making any money off this, so it should be ok. However, I had the forsight to ask my sister if I could borrow her persona for this, and she said it'd be ok, so whatever I do, she can't complain about! Therefore...hehehe. Foolish child.

Prelude to Onnako and the Way of the Soldier

"I'm home!" See looked up from her computer, grimacing as she realized her afternoon of peaceful fanfiction writing has been shattered by the return of her little sister.

"That's nice, Onnako, no one cares." she said in an annoyed tone. "Why didn't you stay after school? I haven't had a quiet afternoon in ages."

"They beat me up again." Onnako whined, emerging around the corner, sporting several gorgeous bruises and a fat, bleeding lip.

"Oh for the love of..." See got up and got the bruise ointment out of the medicine cabinet of the bathroom. "What did you do this time?" she asked as she began applying it to the smaller girl's multiple swellings.

"I was just standing up for what I believed in!" Onnako wailed, her lower lip trembling pathetically. "They were talking about my drawing for art class."

See gave her an exasperated look. "How many times do I have to tell you, only pick the fights you know you can win! Either keep your mouth shut or take self defense." See blinked as an idea struck her. "Or maybe..." she murmured softly.

"But if I keep my mouth shut, then everyone will tease me. And I don't know where to take self defense. You don't have that problem, you've always known how to fight."

"Not exactly, I had a little help developing my technique." See said vaguely, "But shut up and listen a bit. When I was first learning how to fight, I worked Wufei and Heero. They could teach you!"

"Well, so could you-" Onnako was abruptly cut off by See as she continued.

"I couldn't remain objective enough. You'll get better training from one of them. And Heero can also teach you how to keep your mouth shut."

Onnako wrinkled her nose in thought. "Will they both train me?"

"I don't think so, they have differences of opinions on various points of training. You'll have to pick one"

"Wufei." Onnako sighed dreamily. See arched one eyebrow.

"Why?" Onnako blushed and tried to hide it.

"He just always seemed more, well, dedicated." she said, blushing again and hoping her real reason did not communicate itself to the taller girl. Wufei was so hot...

'Well, she'll probably work harder if she has a crush on him.' See thought, having noticed the real reason. 'It doesn't really matter.' She adjusted her computer a bit, and then turned around to face Onnako again. "Dormant trees produce no fruit." she commented.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means he lives across the hall, remember? I'll give you a note to let him know whats going on, and you can be on your way."

Ten minutes later, Onnako was on her way, bearing See's letter and full of confidence. And See was relaxing comfortably in her room, about to start typing again. And then it hit her...

"Oops, I forgot that Fei is a woman hating male chauvinist pig..."

Just then, a thundering shout awakened the entire apartment complex.

"I DO -NOT- TRAIN ONNAS!"

See rolled her eyes. "Plan B..."

"But I'm not a woman." Onnako retorted. She was standing in Wufei's living room, facing down the Solitary Dragon. The middle age Chinese decor of the room was spoiled by the presence of a high tech entertainment system on one wall.

"I don't train onnakos either!" Wufei's Oriental features were contorted with rage and his skin turning an ugly puce.

"But, but," Onnako's words dissolved into a wail as she began to cry.

"Injustice! How dare you use your feminine wiles to try to change my mind!" Onnako began to cry harder. "Don't cry. Stop crying, for Natuku's sake." Onnako kept wailing. "Look, I'll buy you an ice cream." Onnako's tears automatically dried up.

See, having heard this conversation through the wall, shook her head. "Oh well, Heero isn't so anti-female."

Later...

"Look, I REALLY need you to train her." See was standing in Heero's apartment, which was two doors down from hers. She and Heero were perch precariously in two of the few infinitesmal spots on the floor not covered by electronics or wires.

"Do it yourself." Heero had his arms crossed and was struggling to maintain both the his death glare and his balance

"You know better than that, Heero."

"Hn. Why not send her to Fei?"

See sighed exasperatedly. "Fei's got problems with treating women like humans, you know that. He drove poor Sally to lesbianess with that particular obsession."

"Hn?" Heero completely lost his death glare as his eyes widened at that particular revelation.

"Didn't you know? She's seeing Noin."

"I thought Noin loved Zechs."

"We're straying."

Heero glared at her again. She glared right back at him. They stood like that for several minutes until, finally, he sighed. "Mission Accepted."

"Thanks Heero, I knew I could count on you." Now that she had won, See could afford to be nice about it.

"Hn. Send her here tomorrow at 3 pm."

"She'll be there."
