Author's Note: I don't know what happened to Releena's real mother, so I'm making it up. I don't know who's older than whom (I'd probably ignore it anyway), so since I'm the author, I'm making that up also. Milliardo and Noin are 23, Trowa and Heero are 17, Wufei is almost 17, Releena is turning 17, and Duo and Quatre are 16. If I bring someone else into the fic, I'll tell you her or his age in the text or in []. I didn't make up the Furby's names or how they act. They are really my Furbies. K?
"Happy Birthday, Releena!" exclaimed Quatre as he walked in her mansion. It was Releena's seventeenth birthday. Releena was very happy since Heero had actually came this time, but she had also written, "Heero, your mission is to come to my, Releena Peacecraft, seventeenth birthday party", on his invitation. She had meant it as a joke, but it had gotten him here. Releena didn't invite a lot of people this year, only the gundam pilots, her brother of course, and Noin. She had invited Sally, Dorothy, Hilde, and Catherine, but they couldn't make it for various reasons.
"How's Hilde, Duo?" asked Noin.
"She's fine. Right now, she has pneumonia though," Duo answered, "How's Dorothy, Quatre?"
"We broke up two months ago, Duo," reminded Quatre, "I just don't want to talk about it. How's Sally?"
"Who cares" answered Wufei.
"Why couldn't she make it? If you don't mind me asking," said Releena.
"She and Catherine were doing some sort of female revolution act. I think," explained Trowa. They sat down at the table to eat dinner. They sort of sang the "Happy Birthday" song, but not very well. Afterwards, they went into the living room to give Releena her presents.
"So, who's first?" asked Releena.
"I will!" exclaimed Duo as he handed Releena an odd shaped box poorly wrapped, "This is from Hilde and me"
"You didn't wrap this yourself, did you?" asked Releena.
"Sure I did. Hilde was going to, but she got sick, and I had to," answered Duo. Releena tore off the wrapping paper to reveal a Furby.
"Me tai kai! Duo! Pease! Dadda, me hungwy! Ah, ah! Play with me! Itchy, itchy back! Tickle da tummy. Play with me! Aye, aye!" screeched the horrible creature.
"Duo, didn't this thing come in a box?" asked Trowa.
"Umm, I don't remember," answered Duo.
"One of my little nieces has one of these, they don't talk until someone puts batteries in them and activates them. They won't even say 'momma' or 'dadda' until they're told which one," said Quatre as he eyed Duo.
"Okay, okay. So I played with him before I gave him to you. I just wanted to make sure it worked. By the way his name is 'Boo'," said Duo.
"Isn't that Hilde's Furby's name?" asked Noin.
"Yes, the one we bought Releena is named 'Duo', you don't mind, do you Releena?" asked Duo.
"Not at all," said Releena, then she whispered to Quatre, "I wouldn't want anything named 'Duo' anyway." Quatre muffled a laugh.
"What's so funny?" asked Duo.
"Nothing. Who's next?" said Releena.
"Here's my present, Releena" responded Quatre. Releena thanked him and unwrapped the present. It was…a thing.
"We just made that at one of my new factories. You're the first one outside the business to own one. See? It's a cell phone/pager/fax machine/walkie talkie. You can also go on the Internet like at home," explained Quatre.
"Cool!" said Releena. She was about to ask for another present when a person that worked for Releena came in.
"Miss Releena, there's something you should see on the news," said the guy, and he left.
"Okay," said Releena as she turned on the television.
"In America, Mr. and Mrs. Ross were assassinated today. They were attending a charity event for AIDS. The suspect is a twenty-five-year-old, white male, who is believed to be part of the LASY. Mr. and Mrs. Ross leave behind their two biological sons, Andrew and Jake, and adopted daughter, Amaya. The Ross'…" reported the news anchor.
"That's horrible," said Releena, about to start one of her peace speeches again.
"The anchor didn't report all of the news, Miss Releena," said Pagan, who seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"What do you mean, Pagan?" asked Milliardo.
"In both of their wills, the Ross' state that if both of them should die, Amaya should go to her older siblings, her real siblings," said Pagan.
"?"
"When the Cinq Kingdom originally fell, Miss Releena, your father died, but your mother didn't die right away. She lived long enough to give you to Mr. Darlain," started Pagan.
"I already know that Pagan," said Releena, getting a little suspicious.
"But what you don't know is that your mother was pregnant at the time. She was injured so badly; it was either she or the baby. She chose to let the baby live and get a se-section {A/N:?} that would mean certain death for her. She died before they got the child out of her. Before the operation, she told Mrs. Ross to take care of her child. Mrs. Ross took the baby and raised her with her sons," finished Pagan.
"What does this mean?" asked Releena.
"Amaya Ross is coming here, Releena. She's your younger sister," answered Milliardo, "I always thought the baby died with my mother, I guess I was wrong."
"Amaya's on her way to her plane about now and will be here in the morning," reported Pagan.
"How old is she?" asked Releena.
"Fifteen."
***Next Morning***
Amaya Ross stepped out of her limo and stared at the mansion in front of her. She breathed in and smelt the clean, morning air. She still couldn't believe how her whole life had changed in a matter of a few hours. First, her parents got shot and died in front of her eyes. Then she found out she couldn't stay with her brothers and that she was Releena Peacecraft's younger sister. After that, she was hurried onto a plane and flown over here. Who knew what would happen next? Amaya walked to the door and rang the bell.
"Hello, Amaya right? I've been expecting you," said Releena, Amaya guessed.
"Yes, that is my name," Amaya said, "And you are Releena Peacecraft, yes?"
"That's me. Please, come in," Releena offered.
"Do you always open the door personally?" asked Amaya as she walked in.
"Not always, but I do sometimes. Well, you didn't bring much baggage for someone who's moving," Releena said trying to sound cheerful.
"I was told of my birth parents last night while I was crying over my parents' death with my brothers. I was forced onto a plane when they told me I couldn't stay with my brothers and I had live the rest of my life with some people I've never personally met. I never had a chance to pack," Amaya said matter-of-factly.
"Oh, well, come with me," Releena said less cheerful and brought Amaya to the living room, "Please, sit down." Amaya sat down on the couch.
"I've never been out of the country. What is it like here?" Amaya asked.
"Well," Releena started but was interrupted.
"Miss Releena, your brother, Milliardo wishes to speak to you. He says it's urgent," some guy said.
"Please forgive me, I must go see," Releena stated.
"Sure, no problem," Amaya said and then muttered under her breath, "He's only my brother too. Only I've never met him."
"Huh?" Releena asked but decided to leave it alone. She left the room. While Releena was away, Amaya decided to look around the house.
Let's see. We leave room #1 and go down the hall. Ah, what a surprise! A hallway filled with rooms. Amaya walks down the hall. Ooh, outside, I wonder what's out there. I remember momma and poppa said that yesterday was Releena's birthday. Let's see she would be seventeen now. Maybe she invited some friends over. Amaya walked out onto the porch where she saw the Gundam pilots sitting at one of the tables. Hmm, they must be the Gundam pilots. I was thirteen or fourteen last time I saw them in the news. Well, not Quatre Rabera Winner, he's in the news all the time, but not because of his Gundam. I wonder what they've been… The Gundam pilots interrupted Amaya's thoughts.
"Why, hello! You must be Releena's new lil' sis!" said a guy with brown hair that was braided.
"I am. You must be the Gundam pilots. I remember seeing you in the news," Amaya said.
"We are! I'm Duo Maxwell. This is Heero Yuy, Chang Wufei, Trowa Barton, and…hey! Where'd Quatre go?" asked Duo.
"You mean Quatre Rabera Winner? ::Duo nods:: I think I saw him go into the house," Amaya responded.
"Oh, well, you can meet him later!" Duo said, "Come sit down. We'd be glad to have you."
"Do you know my name?" Amaya asked suspiciously as she sat in the chair Duo offered her.
"Well, no. I don't remember," Duo said.
"Baka! Her name is Amaya Ross," Wufei said.
"Oh, hi Amaya," Duo said.
"What are you doing?" Amaya asked.
"Just hanging out. Aren't you supposed to be with Releena right now? She told us, and I quote 'You guys should just go over there. I need to be with my new little sister. So please let me have some sister time?' end quote," Duo stated.
"Well, we were talking, but she had to go talk to Milliardo. She never told me to stay in the room, so I walked around the house and ended up here," Amaya replied. There were a few beeps and the boys excused themselves. Well, it looks like I'm all by myself again. It seems that I'm destined to be this way. Well, I might as well walk around the garden. It looks…okay. Amaya walked in the garden commenting to herself about how the flowers were lovely. Then she bumped into someone.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't see you," Amaya apologized.
"It's okay. I wasn't really looking either," a guy with short blonde hair said, "I'm Quatre Rabera Winner."
"I know. My parents talk, or used to talk about your family all the time," Amaya said.
"Really?" Quatre asked.
"I'm sorry. My name is Amaya Ross," Amaya introduced. Quatre took Amaya around the mansion, showing her all the rooms she wanted to see. He told her about the war, Gundams, his family, and everything else she wanted to know. When Releena, Milliardo, and Noin didn't show up for dinner, Quatre took Amaya to his mansion with the Maguanacs. {a/n: not sure if spelled right}
"I'm not sure if Releena will like this," Quatre said.
"Don't worry. I left them a note saying I was coming over here. If they wanted me to stay there, they should let me see them once in awhile," Amaya said.
"I'm not just worried about Releena, I'm also worried what Milliardo will do when he finds out that you just left before he met you and came with me to the Middle East," Quatre worried.
"Well, it's too late now. We're on the plane. Besides, Releena won't let him kill you. She's a pacifist," Amaya said.
"Whatever. I wonder what Rashid will say," Quatre said. Nothing was said throughout the rest of the flight. When they landed, Rashid was waiting for them. He was surprised to say the least. When they got to the mansion…
"Master Quatre, I can't believe you would just take the Peacecraft's youngest sister away without telling them! Who knows how they'll react? Especially Milliardo," Rashid said.
"I left a note. I've never even met Milliardo and I saw Releena for three minutes. I thought since it was my first day with them they would hover around me all day, asking me millions of questions. Instead, they avoided me all day. I spent the last part of my morning with the Gundam pilots. They had to leave for some reason and I spent the afternoon with Quatre learning about my new siblings and other stuff. To me, they have no right to be mad at either one of us," argued Amaya.
"Whether they have the right to or not, they will be mad though" Quatre commented.
"How about we worry about this later when we see how mad they are," suggested Amaya.
"Okay," agreed Quatre as they sat down to eat dinner.
