[YAY...my first GW fic. WOOHOO!!! I don't own Gundam Wing, though I do wish I owned Duo and Zechs...*wink*. Sadly though, I don't. I do own Jenni, Lilith, Silver Cat, and Red Dragon and everything and one associated with Red Dragon. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
This is the SECOND time I have had to type out this chapter...damn disc I had it on before broke. Meh...oh well. It's kinda crappy...but it'll do. Here it is.]
Summary: Two years after Endless Waltz. Just when the Gundam pilots thought they could finally get some rest, the Earth and Colonies are again in trouble. There's also a new Gundam, and the pilot is Quatre's twin sister. What other new surprises await them? Rating may go up.

It's a Family Thing - Chapter 1
Heero sat in front of his computer. Dr. J had sent him some info that he thought Heero would find of great importance.
"Perfect. Just what we need now." Heero muttered as he sat back and covered his face with his hands. "Another maniac trying to take over the world."
After sitting there for a moment, he re read the info. Shaking his head, he sent an email to each of the other Gundam pilots.
"Meet me at these co-ordinates. Very important." he muttered as he finished typing the message and sent it off. He was about to sign out when he saw an email from Relena.
'How the heck did she get this address?' he thought as he deleted the email without reading it.
"Relena."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Relena lay on the beach reading a book. She had been working overtime the past few months and needed a vacation. So here she was, by the beautiful blue ocean under azure skies that held clouds as fluffy as marshmallows.
She was taking a sip of her Piña Colada and turning a page of her book, when she heard a voice call out to her.
"Hey there good looking. Fancy seeing you here."
Relena looked up from her book to see Duo walking towards her. Putting her book aside she smiles as she stood up.
"What are you doing here Duo?" she asked.
"I got an email from Heero. He didn't say much in case the email was intercepted, but there's some big stuff going on. I wanted to know if he had told you anything." Duo said.
Relena frowned and shook her head. "No, I haven't heard anything. I haven't even talked to Heero in the past three months. Why, what's going on?"
Duo smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry about it babe." he said, "It's probably nothing to get worked up over. Heero, the others and I are meeting in a couple days. Heero's gonna tell us what he got."
Relena bit her lip and nodded. "Ok then. Could you get Heero to inform me? As leader of the Earth Sphere United Nation, I need to know these things."
"I'll try. You know how Heero can be." Duo replied.
Relena sighed. "Unfortunately." she then smiled. "It was good seeing you again. I hope you and the others have been well. Tell them I said hi."
Duo nodded. "I will. Anyway, I gotta get going. You take care of yourself."
"I will."
Duo smiled, and turned to leave.
When he was gone, Relena turned to face the water. She wondered why Heero hadn't returned her emails. She sighed with the wind as the water crashed on the surf.
"Heero."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The five Gundam pilots sat around the huge round table and looked around at each other. While they had all visited each other individually once in a while, this was the first time they had all been in the same room together since Dakim Barton was killed two years ago.
"Wow, it's wild seeing us all in one room again." Quatre said. The others all nodded.
"How y'all been?" Duo asked as he leaned back in his chair and propped his feet up on the table.
"That's not why we're here." Wufei said sharply. "We can deal with that after." he continued in a softer tone.
Trowa nodded. "Wufei's right. We can get to the pleasantries later. Right now we have to get to why Heero called us all here."
With that said, Heero stood. "Dr. J sent me some info regarding a resistance faction calling themselves 'Red Dragon' forming to take on the ESUN."
"What?" Quatre cried.
"What does this mean?" Trowa asked calmly.
"What weapons do they have?" Wufei asked as well.
"Well, so much for the happy reunion." Duo muttered.
Heero waited for the other pilots to quiet down before he spoke. "Dr. J didn't have much. What he was able to get though is still important. Red Dragon is funded by some millionaire in England, his name is unknown. The leaders name we do know though." he said as he handed out a file to them.
"Andréas Lemeux," Heero continued, "A French-English aristocrat who also fought as a member in the Mariemaia Army. No one has heard anything from him in the past two years though. He is presumed dead to anyone who is not a part of Red Dragon."
"So we know who he is, why don't we go to his family and see if they know anything that might help us?" Quatre asked.
Heero shook his head. "Not that easy. His parents passed away two months ago in a car accident, and his brother was killed while also a member of the Mariemaia Army. He has a nineteen year old sister living in Ireland, but she hasn't seen or heard from him since she was ten."
"So this puts a stop on things." Trowa said, stroking his chin in thought. "Does it say where Red Dragon is based?"
Heero shook his head a second time. "Not precisely. They could be anywhere in the North or South Western hemisphere. That is all we know."
"Weapons." Wufei said a second time. "What weapons do they have? We're screwed if they have any Mobile Suits."
Heero was silent a moment as the others watched him expectantly. "They have mobile suits." he said finally.
"Ah shit." Duo muttered as he sat forward.
"Perfect. Just perfect." Wufei yelled.
"What do they want us to do?" Quatre asked. "We don't have the Gundams anymore. We're dead if we go up against these guys."
Heero watches as the three guys went off the deep end. He wasn't surprised to see that Trowa remained calm.
"They realized that's what would happen." Trowa said when everyone had quieted down. "They knew we had destroyed the Gundams. You say, why did the Gundam scientists get us when we don't have the Gundams. I say, they did BECAUSE we don't have them."
Quatre, Duo, and Wufei were silent as they thought about that. They once again looked at Heero.
"Trowa understands." he said, then took a stack of six files and handed one to each of them. "The scientists have built new Gundams for us."
The other four pilots silently opened their files to see what they held. Small smiles formed on their faces as they read through them.
"Deathscythe Hell-Fire." Duo said excitedly as he leafed through the papers. He finally came to the pictures. "Whoa!" he cried as he stared wide eyed at them.
"The scientists tried to keep then as close to the original Gundams appearances as they could. There are plenty of new additions though, and they changed some of the names a little as well." Heero said.
"What are yours guys?" Duo asked.
"Altron-2." Wufei said unenthusiastically. "Master O obviously isn't very creative when it comes to names."
"Mine's still Sandrock." Quatre said as he looked through his file.
"Mega-Heavyarms." Trowa said with the tiniest of smiles.
"What's yours Heero?" Quatre asked.
Heero grinned a little before answering. "Wing Zero-1." he said. "Dr. J isn't very creative either Wufei."
The others laughed at Heero's comment while Wufei just scowled.
Quatre stopped laughing when he saw Heero holding the file for his own Gundam, as well as an extra file.
"What's in that?" Quatre asked.
"In what?" Heero replied.
"The extra file in your hand." Quatre said as he pointed to Heero's hand. "What's in it?"
"Oh this?" Heero said as he opened the file and leafed through it a moment. "Well, there's a sixth Gundam and this is the file on it and the pilot."
Duo, Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei all looked at Heero with looks of 'huh?' written on their faces.
"A sixth Gundam?" Duo asked. "What...does that mean there's a sixth scientist or something?"
"Uh, yeah." Heero said.
"What's his name? Who is he?" Wufei asked.
Heero gulped and laughed a little nervously. The others were shocked to see this.
"Well," Heero started, "SHE is Instructor H's daughter. Her name is Lilith. The Gundam she designed is called Silver Cat."
The other four once again stared at Heero with looks of 'huh?' on their faces.
"They let a woman design a Gundam?" Wufei asked after a moment. He then burst out laughing. "Do they all have death wishes or something?"
"So your saying that just because a woman designed and programmed a Gundam, it's going to be a dud?" Quatre asked.
"Well...yes." Wufei answered.
"Remember what happened when you underestimated Noin, Wufei?" Trowa said.
"Actually Wufei, this new Gundam is pretty well put together." Heero said as he read through the file. "If this file is correct...Silver Cat is just as good as all our Gundams combined. Or else pretty darn close."
"So, who's the pilot?" Duo asked.
"Well," Heero said as he walked around the table, "the pilot is female..."
"Does she have a name?" Trowa asked impatiently.
"Yeah, she does." Heero said as he threw the open file to Quatre. Her name is Jennifer Elizabeth Winner."
"What? That can't be." Quatre said as he grabbed the file and read it over. Yet there it was.
There was a picture of a girl with chin length, dirty blonde hair. She had the same blue-green eyes as Quatre and, according to the file, the same parents and birth date.
"A twin sister?" Quatre squeaked. "How can I have a twin sister?"
Duo laughed. "Hey, with twenty nine sisters, that's entirely possible."
"I know I have a lot of sisters, but I never knew one of them was my twin. She must have been sent to live with family somewhere just after she was born. I don't ever remember growing up with her...I don't even remember seeing pictures."
There were a few moments of silence as Quatre read over the file. The others watched as a small smile would flicker on his face when he read a certain part. He turned back to the front and looked at the picture.
"She looks a lot like my mother. Her hair is a little longer though, and a little darker."
"Are you going to contact her?" Trowa asked, "Is there a number or something where you can phone her?"
Quatre nodded his head as he read over Jennifer's bio again. "Yeah. She's in Ireland. There's a number here...you think I should phone her?"
"Well, she is your sister...as well as a fellow Gundam pilot. Of course." Duo said as he stood up and looked at the picture. "She's kinda cute."
"That IS my sister you are talking about." Quatre said with a grin as he snapped the file shut.
Duo laughed. "Already the protective brother. Come on, phone her up." he said as he tossed Quatre his cell phone.
"You won't need to." Heero said, "Dr. J told me that she's already on her way. She'll be arriving at the Winner mansion in a couple days."
Quatre opened the file again and looked at the picture. In a couple days he'd be meeting the twin sister he never knew he had.
"Oh yeah, Relena says hi, and Heero, she wants to know what's going on."

[YAY...there's chapter 1. What do y'all think? Is it good? Should I continue? Well...whether you like it or not I'm continuing...lol. But it would be nice to get some reviews telling me what you think. Hmmm...how about 10 reviews and I'll type out chapter 2. So if you like my fic...tell your friends about my fic and get them to read and review too. It'd be nice to get some loyal fans... ^_~. Anywho...till next time. Don't forget to review.]
