Snow Day

A Long Winter

Day 1

The wind fiercely blew outside as a door slammed shut. "It looks like all of us are going to be stuck here for a while" Trowa's calm voice came from the doorway.

The other four-gundam pilots sat cozily by the fireplace in one of Quatre's enormous mansions. All five of the gundam pilots decided to take a little vacation up in the mountains. Earth had been a peaceful place since the year A.C. 196 when the five pilots once again saved the Earth and the colonies. After that the pilots kept close contact but were rather busy with the new lives they had chosen.

"Well, it looks like we're going to be stuck here for a while," Duo said with his famous smile. "Anyone up for video games?"

The four other gundam pilots were too busy to acknowledge what Duo had just said. Wufei and Heero were busy with an intense game of chess, Quatre was absorbed in a book and Trowa went off into the kitchen to put away the groceries and check on the emergency radio and supplies.

"Uh. Guys," Duo said getting a little impatient. "Guys?" Involuntarily Duo's hands met his hips, as he grew impatient with his four friends. "Guys!!!!" Duo had enough and his voice was raised so he could be heard throughout the entire mansion.

Duo's outburst got the attention he wanted. "Maxwell! Kisama! We can hear you just fine. Don't yell!" Wufei shouted and then turned back to the chessboard. Muttering, "Baka," under his breathe.

Duo was really angry by then. "We can hear you just fine. Don't yell," he said mockingly.

"That's enough you two," Quatre piped in, trying to prevent bloodshed. "There is no need to fight like little children."

Duo slumped down on the couch next to Quatre and turned on the TV. "You guys are no fun," he pouted, surfing through the channels.

As Duo was searching for something to watch when a news broadcast caught Heero's eye. "Turn it back for a sec, Duo," the Wing 0 pilot said in his regular monotone voice.

The announcer's voice came in clearly as the five pilots watched. "This is GW live with the weather report. It doesn't look good for those who were planning a vacation up in the mountains. A fierce blizzard is coming that way and from the looks of it, those who are up there will be snowed in for quite some time now. Be sure to have enough supplies to get through the winter folks."

Duo had had enough of the TV and quickly turned it off. "Great. More bad news," pilot 02 complained. "How come nothing ever goes right?"

"Relax Duo. We have enough supplies to last for a while and if we are in any trouble we can always call for help on the radio," Quatre calmly stated.

Duo wasn't the least bit interested. He had already gone to his room, shut the door and turned on his music volume at full blast.

Heero and Wufei had finished their game of chess and Trowa had finally come out of the kitchen. Trowa finally spoke up and simply stated, "I have a feeling this is going to be a long winter."

"Well," Quatre said, "we should worry about that tomorrow. It's getting late and we should all get some rest. Agree?"

The other gundam pilots merely nodded and walked to their rooms.
