..::Chapter 1: Friend or Foe Alike::...
Duo was sitting at home enjoying his morning when he all of a sudden got a phone call from Heero!
"Hello! Hi Heero.. Oh! You'r looking for Duo. Just a mintue, I'll go get him." a voice from the kitchen answered. "Duo! Heero's on the phone for you, and it sounds urgent!" Hilde, Duo's girlfriend shouted knocking on the patio window. Duo, who was outside at this time, looked over at the patio window and saw Hilde making signals to him. He opened the patio door and came inside. "What's the matter Hilde, I was enjoying the great weather!" Duo asked stricktly.
"Heero's on the phone for you.." she mentioned handing Duo the reciever. Duo took the phone and answered it. "Hello! Duo here.." he said. "Heero why are you calling me? I was enjoying my day outside." Duo said smartly, giving Heero a lecture over the phone.
--Heero: "Duo this is very important.. listen good. Princess Relena of the Sanq Kingdom has ordered us Gundam Pilots to report to her tomorrow afternoon. She claims that another war might break-out between our world and a new OZ troop! So, you being a Gundam Pilot, must show up. Will you?" Heero asked.
Duo stood there listening to Heero's request. "Alright.. tell Princess Relena that I'll be there. Tomorrow noon at the Sanq Kingdom.. I got it! Was that all you wanted from me Heero. You know you could've sent me an email that would've been alot better.. sheesh!" Duo remarked being totally judgemental on this whole thing.
"Great, now I'll contact Quatre, and Trowa... can you contact Weifu and let him know too?" Heero mentioned, giving Duo the job of calling his Gundam Pilot friend too.. "C'mon Heero, why me.. why can't you call Wufei, I mean you'r already gonna call Quatre and Trowa." Duo teased sarcastically. "Duo, call Wufei!" Heero commanded hanging up on Duo.
"The thanks I get for being a Gundam Pilot, sheesh.. alright alright!" Duo said to himself hanging up the phone. *He took a deep sigh and went to his computer desk to contect Wufei*.

--Taping on the computer keys--

Wufei,

Hey bud! Its Duo.. we are asked by Princess Relena to meet at the Sanq Kingdom tomorrow afternoon. She claims that there's gonna be another war between Earth and the OZ troops.. *sigh* I just hope my summer doesn't go down the drain. Anyway, as a Gundam Pilot we are asked to show tomorrow. So I thought I'd let you know. *Actually Heero made me send you this email ~sighs~*.
Got it! Tomorrow noon... I know I'll be there!

Bye!
Duo,

-Duo finished his email and sent it away to his friend. He then stood up from his desk and went back outside to enjoy the last few hours he has before going off to fight another war. While outside Duo started thinking about his past. He started thinking of his mother and his family.. and dozzed off under the hot summer's sun.
Suddenly, a hug crash came from inside the house. Duo woke up startled. He opened his patio window in a rush and ran in. Hilde... he called out running into the kitchen. "Hilde, are you okay, I heard a crash I thought something happened." Duo said shocked. "Duo! I'm alright, I heard a big crash too.. but it wasn't me." Hilde said reasuring Duo that she was okay. "It sounded like it came from the shed outside!" Hilde added walking to the front door. Duo followed behind her worried of what it could be.
He left his house and walked towards the shed. "Hilde you stay inside the house, I'll check this out!" Duo shouted back at Hilde. He then turned around and opened the shed door. To his surprise his Gundam Deathscythe started functioning by itself. "Ahhhh, Deathscythe what are you doing?" Duo shouted, reaching for the Gundam's Pilot control. He climbed up into his Gundam and turned off all its controls. "Whew! That outta keep you quiet till tomorrow." Duo said, with a smirk. Then he lyed back in his Gundam's seat and fell asleep again.
