Author's Note: All right, I'm glad you all like it! 0.o 23 reviews in less the twelve hours has to be a new record.
AN # 2: Okay I admit it, I made a boo-boo... Trowa and Catherine ARE brother and sister. *sighs* damn... oh wait, I could *SO* make this work! I didn't I ever say that they were married... did I? *grins evily* I'm am making this work even if it kills me! Oh also, I was originally going to pair Trowa up with Dorothy because I wasn't sure about the whole brother/sister thing (and wanted to be a little original...). Thank me later. Sorry Quatre fans, I would have stuck him with Catherine, but that would have been... weird... so there was slim pickings left in the Gundam Wing universe, and I was too lazy to create my own character (so sorry.)
AN # 3: I never got around to mentioning this at the end of the last chapter. I'm not quite sure how the President of the Earth Sphere United Nation is nominated or elected, so most of it's going to be made up.
AN # 4 (last one, I swear!): I know I made little Adin talk like he was five or six. He is SUPPOSED to be able to talk that well. Oh c'mon with a father like Heero Yuy and a mother like Relena, he was *supposed* to turn out normal? Pfet! Not a chance, this kiddo has the brain-power to match with his cuteness. However, you will notice that once Ayame starts speaking more, she will have a more 'toddlerish' (is that a word?) voice.
Okays, sorry that was so long, keep reading and reviewing and I'll love you forever!

And My Eyes Met Yours...

Two figures crept through the shadows of the dark hallway. Both crouched and ready to spring into action at any given sign. The first figure slowly pressed the button on the walkie talkie and said in a whispered voice:
"Bugger butt, come 'din, bugger butt!"
"Bugger butt have come 'din, where dis Booger butt?"
"Thaths not my name!"
"Shhhhh! We don't want to get catched!" The little girl hissed, holding a baby moniter in one hand. The little boy tripped over a toy truck in the hall, sending him crashing into the ground.
"Ouchie! You on my foot.... LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!" The little girl screeched at the top of her lungs as the boy feel on top of her and they rolled down two steps to hit soft blue carpet.
"Stupfid girl!"
"Stupfid boy!"
"Ayame? Ling? What happened?" Sally and Hilde had been in the living room, discussing Adin's kidnapping.
They both pointed at each other, and smiled at their mothers innocently. Hilde rolled her eyes and picked up Ayame, brushing the bluish brown hair from her eyes. Sally laughed as she did the same with Ling, who made a face at the attention his mother was giving him. "Awww... Mama, leafve me alone!"
Sally Po winked at Hilde. "So what exactly were you two doing?" She asked as she set the squirming boy down.
"Wees were wooking for dem bad mens thats taked Adin away!" Ayame announced. (AN: Woah, that line is rough.. she said 'We were looking for the(m) bad men that took Adin away.' And you all were complaining how I made them too intelligent...)
Hilde and Sally both looked uncomfortable, "No, sweetie, Adin just went on a vacation with a couple of his friends." Hilde felt bad for lying and even worse when Sally almost starting laughing.
"Uh huh! Yous lying Mama! We saw da bad men!" Ayame pointed a pudgy finger in her mother's face. Hilde's jaw dropped, and Sally stopped laughing. They all sat in silence for a couple of minutes.
"You saw them take Adin?" Sally whispered.
The both shook their heads, "Dey were watching us! Den they pointed at Adin, den at us!" Ling's voice was high in panic, and his short black hair was ruffled by Ayame.
"Hey, Dat was a secret!"
Ling frowned, "Oopsies..."
Sally felt her jaw tighten, "Ling... Ayame, when did you see these men? What did they look like?" She knew that between the two of them, they could come up with some wild answer.
"Right before Uncle Heero came... thenth yes... yester... yesterdth..." Ayame cut Ling off impatiently, "Yesterday!" she clarified.
A thousand thoughts raced through Hilde's mind.
Where had Duo been?
Why hadn't Duo been watching them?
How could have missed the men?
What the hell had be been doing?
How was she going to kill him?
"DUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Hilde growled, and stormed into Duo's office. Sally could have sworn she hear a whimper.
"Mama.... papa...?" Ayame blinked.

"Minister Peacecraft, I'm sorry to hear about your son!"
Sure you are you little twit, now get out of my way!
Instead of moving, the man attempted to hug her. Relena, if she had been in a good mood, wouldn't have minded, but would have scolded him that she was all ready married. But, unfortunately, today wasn't a good day for the former queen of the world. She ducked under his arms and said in a very chilly voice, "I'm sorry, but I'm expected within the council."
The Council had been formed only two years prior to the current one. All most all the members were old, having 'wisdom' about certain things that others didn't possess. Relena knew the only reason they were there was to scold the world's leaders, and baby-sit the president, will trying to cover their own tracks. Oh yes, Heero had dug up some pretty interesting things about the five council men, some very, very interesting things...
"This meeting has now begun, that means shut up!" Driker, the tallest and the crabbiest. He had killed forty five people with one blast he shot at a target. Unfortunately, it wasn't the target he him, but a relief center. Funny how those things never make it to the news...
The room was immediately silent, "The voting for the next president of Earth Sphere United Nation aren't until next month, what are we to do in the meantime?" The representative form Ethiopia raised the questioned on everyone's mind.
"It's simple. Try not to get killed yourself, but Foreign Minister Darlian slash Peacecraft slash Yuy is really the only one who has to worry about that!" Driker and the four other old men began a throaty laugh. Milliardo, who was sitting next to her, squeezed her trembling hand.
"Somehow, Council Man Driker, I don't find that amusing." The representative from the United States said coldly. Relena shot her long time friend a thankful look. The black haired woman nodded back in her direction.
"You wouldn't, you're a woman." Siwer, the man next to him rasped. (He had ordered an innocent colony to be destroyed)
"And vhich leads back to vhere ve started, vhat are ve to do until ze voting period?" The French representative was getting angry with the old men.
"Nothing. We must annihilate the new threat."
Relena could practically fell her brother rolling his eyes at the stupid statement made by third Council Man Niesar (An only survivor of a plane crash that should have killed everyone on board. He was also missing an eye.).
"That wouldn't get us anywhere, considering we have to evidence as to who the new threat is." Relena finally pointed out.
"But *you'll* send out a private search for your son and have your husband, the assassin ,kill all the leaders, won't you?" That was it, Relena could mentally feel herself snapping, Driker had stepped too far over the line this time.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," She began, even though her brother was trying to hold her down from being stupid, "It has been brought to my attention on several occasions that many of you believe I am nothing but a naive little princess who dresses up for a ball." She pursed her lips together in the silence, "Yes, I am a princess, yes I am a mother, and yes I am a wife. I have lived through more then you all could possibly ever imagine, and I intend to keep doing so. I will not whine, I will not complain to you, I will not cry in front of you all and make a fool out of myself anymore. My family is my life, and those five old men over there have never had any loved ones, can't you tell by their eyes? They're jealous and angry over things and are forced to hide it with dry and hurtful humor." She turned to face them, "I don't understand how you all could be so cruel. You criticize my husband's past when you don't know anything about it. Heero has saved you more times then you have ever dreamed possible. You... the five of you make me sick!"
She turned to face the stunned Representatives, "Ladies and Gentlemen, did you know that every man on this 'Wisdom Council' has been charged with murder and were suspended from their military for foolish actions? In fact a couple of them have even killed innocent bystanders just for -"
"That is QUITE enough, Peacecraft, take a seat before you make an even bigger fool of yourself." Niestar was nearly sweating.
"No, Council Man. I will NOT sit down, I will NOT listen to you, and I will NOT watch *you* do anything stupid."
"You are dismissed, Foreign Minister." Driker's voice was stern and cold. The other Representatives in the room were holding their breathes.
"No Council Man Driker, *YOU* are dismissed." Milliardo was finally speaking up for his sister. He placed a hand his sister's shoulder.
"Ahhh... well if it isn't the pairie children! Why don't you both go skip away so the rest of the assembly can discuss important matters."
Both Relena and Milliardo surprised everyone in the room by laughing hysterically, "He... he called... *US* prairie children... hahahahaha...." Relena was almost crying. Soon other chuckles were heard, and then fits of laughter when everyone caught on to the irony of the statement. Driker began to pound his mallet onto the desk.
"ORDER, ORDER, SHUT UP DAMNIT!" The room's noise slowly died down.
"Like I said before, Council Men, you're excused." Relena's eyes were only cold now.
"You can't do that!" Council Man Bilser hissed.
"Oh yes." She paused, "I can." She turned to face the crowd, "Didn't you all know that we could have just dimissed them after we had no use for them anymore?" She turned and waved to them, "C'mon everybody, repeat after me... Bye bye Mr. Council Men, bye bye!"
"Bye Bye Mr. Council Men, bye bye!" Everyone in the room echoed her.
"You little WITCH!" Driker pulled out his gun, and fired a couple of shots in their general direction.
"Oh My GOD!" Relena and Milliardo dove under the bench as the Representative of England fought for the control of the gun. Relena and Milliard ducked behind a nearby desk.
"My goodness, Relena... you truly do have a way with words, you know that?"
She shrugged, "It must run in the blood or something."
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
"So what you're saying is that Ayame and Ling *saw* the kidnappers?" Wu Fei was still processing everything.
Sally nodded at her husband, "Apparently so, to quote your son exactly: Dey were watching us! Den they pointed at Adin, den at us!" Wu Fei stared at her.
"Dear Lord, woman, talk in a language I can understand!"
Sally fought the urge to sweatdrop. "Did they mention anything about the attackers?" Heero asked coldly from the corner. Sally shook her head, "Ayame mentioned something about it being a secret."
"Why would a three year old have a secret about kidnappers?" Two new figures entered the room.
"Quatre. Dorothy." Heero nodded in both of their directions.
"They took Ryo." Quatre looked like he was going to cry for a minute. Sally patted him on the back, "Don't worry, I'm sure where ever they are, both Adin and Ryo are fine."
Dorothy had been usually silent this entire time, "I don't understand this. They shouldn't want the children for revenge."
"No one understands it Dorothy." Wu Fei muttered.
Noin chose that time to burst into the Wu Fei's office at the new underground Preventor base. "Heero, I don't know what you've done, but you've sure turned Miss Relena into quite the little fire pistol."
Heero looked up confused, "Why? What happened?"
Noin grinned, "She just told the Head Council Man off and got everyone in the room to wave 'bye-bye' to them." Wu Fei, having come into close contact with all five old men took it upon himself to smirk, "I didn't know she had it in her."
Sally's jaw dropped, "Dear lord, she got everyone to wave 'bye-bye' to them?" Noin nodded, "It's a good thing no one was hurt!" She added.
"Why would anyone be hurt?" Heero asked quickly.
"Uh... well... see... uh..."
"C'mon Noin, spit it out, I know you can do it!" Sally smacked Wu Fei. He opened his mouth to say something, but Noin cut him off.
"Well Council Man Driker didn't like the idea of being out of the only job he's had in fifty years and starting firing a good round or two at Relena and Milliardo."
"Are they all right?" Dorothy asked, mouth agape.
"Yeah, no one was hurt except for Driker." Noin bit her lip, "He's dead."
"How did that happen?" Quatre asked, "Did he fire a shot up in the air?"
"No, he was assassinated." Milliardo appeared at the doorway. His eyes looked tired, and his shoulders were slightly sagging.
"Where's Relena?" Was Heero's immediate inquiry. Milliardo glanced at him. "Nice to see you too."
"I asked you-"
"She and Hilde are out in the hall comforting each other." Milliardo sighed, leaning against the wall.
Sally's eyes began to well up, "Does that mean that..." She couldn't even finished. Heero had never seen Sally cry, and it surprised him even more when Wu Fei held her hand from across the desk.
"Those damn bastards!" Noin cried, "Why won't they just leave the children alone?" Milliardo looked like he was going to say something, but Wu Fei was all ready flying outside into the hallway.
"MAXWELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!" He tackled the unsuspecting Duo to the ground and began to strangle him. "I can't believe you let him take my only son."
"Ugh.. *gasp* Wu-man *gasp* He didn't get -"
Wu Fei began to pound his head against the ground.
"You immoral man!"
"Please-stop... they took... Ayame..." Duo's eyes had nearly bugged out of his head.
"Daddy?" Wu Fei looked up at his son. "Hold on a second Ling, I'm in the middle of killing- LING?!"
"Wu Fei, what are you doing to poor Duo?" Relena cried as she knelt down to help him up.
"I thought... he let them take Ling..."
"No you baka! They took Ayame!" Hilde was still crying when the others finally got there. Heero held out his hand to help Duo up.
"Oh. My apologies." Wu Fei wasn't going to let his embarrassment show.
"Oh yeah sure, don't worry about it." Duo was rubbing his neck and where his head had been hit several times.
"So, now they have Adin, Ayame, and Ryo?" Noin was pasting things together mentally.
"Yeah, I guess so." Quarte mumbled.
"So are they trying to get an eye for an eye deal?" Relena hadn't even realized she had said it out loud.
"What do you mean?" Heero raised an eyebrow.
"An eye for an eye, and child for a Gundam pilot. That is what is happening."
"Trowa? Dude, how did we all manage to be in the same place at the same time without planning it, and yet when we do plan it, we're practically never there!" Duo threw his hands up in frustration.
"That question is irrelevant." Heero muttered, moving to stand next to Relena.
"Trowa, it's good to see you... are you worried about Cho?" Quartre's eyes filled with sadness at the mention of his son's name.
Trowa shook his head, "She's Catherine's adopted daughter, I'm just her uncle." Cho, the little girl Catherine had adopted, had been found on the streets by Trowa when she was only one. Trowa had brought her back to the circus with him, and she and Catherine never parted company after that. (AN: BWHAHAHAH! Okay so the explaination was a little shaky, but okay none the less...)
"True, but you're the only one that's not married with a kid. She's the closest thing you've got." Dorothy pointed out.
"Nice Dorothy, single Trowa out..." Duo muttered.
"This is serious you guys, they're rebuilding the Gundams, they're assassinating people, and now they're stealing our children. I don't think we've got a bigger problem then that right now." Hilde ticked the things off on her fingers.
"She's right." Wu Fei sighed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Relena began to slowly pick up the pieces of Adin's destroyed model, placing them in another small pile on the floor.
"Adin, Adin, Adin... I miss you all ready!" Relena cried into her hands, trying to block out her son's voice for even just a minute.
"I promise Adin, you, Ayame, and Ryo are going to get out of this. Even if it means sacrificing everything I own, I'll do it for you my little soldier."
@#@@@@#@@@@@#@@@@@#@
Okay done with the second part. I think it's stinkier then the first. Oh wells... it was... interesting to say the least...
Thanks to everyone who reviewed my story with one word! let's think of something new... how about a color? Tell me a color that my story reminds you of!
Luvs and hugs

*Gundam is not mine. I know, I'm just Sooooooo incredibly original... But Adin, Ayame, Cho, Ling, and Ryo are mine, please ask before using them!*

AN # 2: Okay I admit it, I made a boo-boo... Trowa and Catherine ARE brother and sister. *sighs* damn... oh wait, I could *SO* make this work! I didn't I ever say that they were married... did I? *grins evily* I'm am making this work even if it kills me! Oh also, I was originally going to pair Trowa up with Dorothy because I wasn't sure about the whole brother/sister thing (and wanted to be a little original...). Thank me later. Sorry Quatre fans, I would have stuck him with Catherine, but that would have been... weird... so there was slim pickings left in the Gundam Wing universe, and I was too lazy to create my own character (so sorry.)
AN # 3: I never got around to mentioning this at the end of the last chapter. I'm not quite sure how the President of the Earth Sphere United Nation is nominated or elected, so most of it's going to be made up.
AN # 4 (last one, I swear!): I know I made little Adin talk like he was five or six. He is SUPPOSED to be able to talk that well. Oh c'mon with a father like Heero Yuy and a mother like Relena, he was *supposed* to turn out normal? Pfet! Not a chance, this kiddo has the brain-power to match with his cuteness. However, you will notice that once Ayame starts speaking more, she will have a more 'toddlerish' (is that a word?) voice.
Okays, sorry that was so long, keep reading and reviewing and I'll love you forever!

"Yeah, I guess so." Quarte mumbled.
"So are they trying to get an eye for an eye deal?" Relena hadn't even realized she had said it out loud.
"What do you mean?" Heero raised an eyebrow.
"An eye for an eye, and child for a Gundam pilot. That is what is happening."
"Trowa? Dude, how did we all manage to be in the same place at the same time without planning it, and yet when we do plan it, we're practically never there!" Duo threw his hands up in frustration.
"That question is irrelevant." Heero muttered, moving to stand next to Relena.
"Trowa, it's good to see you... are you worried about Cho?" Quartre's eyes filled with sadness at the mention of his son's name.
Trowa shook his head, "She's Catherine's adopted daughter, I'm just her uncle." Cho, the little girl Catherine had adopted, had been found on the streets by Trowa when she was only one. Trowa had brought her back to the circus with him, and she and Catherine never parted company after that. (AN: BWHAHAHAH! Okay so the explaination was a little shaky, but okay none the less...)
"True, but you're the only one that's not married with a kid. She's the closest thing you've got." Dorothy pointed out.
"Nice Dorothy, single Trowa out..." Duo muttered.
"This is serious you guys, they're rebuilding the Gundams, they're assassinating people, and now they're stealing our children. I don't think we've got a bigger problem then that right now." Hilde ticked the things off on her fingers.
"She's right." Wu Fei sighed.

Relena began to slowly pick up the pieces of Adin's destroyed model, placing them in another small pile on the floor.
"Adin, Adin, Adin... I miss you all ready!" Relena cried into her hands, trying to block out her son's voice for even just a minute.
"I promise Adin, you, Ayame, and Ryo are going to get out of this. Even if it means sacrificing everything I own, I'll do it for you my little soldier."

Okay done with the second part. I think it's stinkier then the first. Oh wells... it was... interesting to say the least...
Thanks to everyone who reviewed my story with one word! let's think of something new... how about a color? Tell me a color that my story reminds you of!
Luvs and hugs

*Gundam is not mine. I know, I'm just Sooooooo incredibly original... But Adin, Ayame, Cho, Ling, and Ryo are mine, please ask before using them!*
