Part 1: The Offer

" Soleil, I'm exhausted!" Relena Peacecraft yelled. She plopped down on the floor, her hair falling out of the sloppy bun it was in. Soleil Chang glared at her.

" Tell me this, Rel. When the hell am I supposed to give a flying fuck ?" Soleil said. Suddenly, all of Relena's dancers sided with her. Relena smiled triumphantly. Soleil sighed, realizing that she wasn't going to win this argument.

" Fine! Today's practice is over. But tomorrow, your asses are mine for double."

" You mean boot camp." Kelsey Carpenter giggled. Soleil smiled. Fresh meat was always welcome.

" Oh, and Kel, drop and give me 60." Soleil said. Kel sighed and assumed the position. Relena stifled a giggle and ran back to the house.

Inside, her remaining three bodyguards were glued to the television. Well, Wufei was meditating. They were watching the news of the recent tragedy that happened a week ago. Relena sighed and grabbed a Gatorade. She sat on the arm of the couch next to Duo.

" Idiots watching the idiot box, I see. How can you guys watch this torture?" She said. Duo just smirked and sat back in the couch.

" Well, we're seeing what fabulous lies they are telling about you." Duo Maxwell said, twirling that annoying braid of his. Then Zechs, Relena's big brother, walked in the room in a relatively calm state. As usual, Solange Kendricks, Relena's manager, was tailing him.

" I'm telling you that Relena doesn't need another bodyguard! It's just too fucking bad that Arnie got killed!" She yelled. Relena instinctively clenched her heart at the sound of her fiancé's name. He was also Zechs' best friend.

" Solange, I'm getting another bodyguard whether you like it or not. The limit is four and currently, there isn't a fourth." His voice managed to remain surprisingly calm.

" Zechs, she's my fucking charge!" Solange yelled. That was the straw that broke the camel's back for Zechs. Solange found herself with her circulation being cut off by Zechs' hand. He was holding her off her feet.

" But she's my little sister." He said, his voice deathly low. He released the offending woman and turned to Duo.

" Come with me, Maxwell." He said to him. Not wanting Zechs to unleash the beast on him, Duo immediately popped up and followed without a word. They ended up in Zechs' office.

Meanwhile, Relena walked past Solange.

" Relena, how did practice go?"

" Did you tell Soleil to work us like dogs? Excuse me, slaves is what I meant." Relena said, polishing off the Gatorade. Solange smirked at her, rubbing her neck.

" Good night, Relena." Solange walked off. Relena nodded and went to the shower.

Duo stood in front of Zechs.

" Maxwell do you know anyone who could fill Arnie's position?" Zechs said, working on a massive stack of papers on his desk. Duo looked thoughtful, then snapped his fingers, startling Zechs.

" Heero, my best friend. He's the most efficient person you'll ever meet." Duo said.

" Ok, then, Maxwell. Visit this guy and 0offer him the job. Is he of any relation to Kele?"

" Yeah, he is. He's her older brother." Duo walked out.
