CHAPTER 2


Ayame slowly opened her eyes and gazed dreamily at the cobalt eyes staring back at her. "Is this a dream?" she thought.

"Hey! you're all right!" Duo said cheerfully.

"Ooww......my ears...my head" she said weakly in pain. She slowly tried to sit up. Duo gently pushed her back down.

"Sorry," he whispered, "you need to stay in bed for awhile still, OK?"

"OK." she said with a little smile on her face. Duo smiled back. "I'll get you some aspirin, kay?" he said gently as he gets up from the edge of the bed. He left the room and quickly came back with two aspirin and a glass of water. He gently sat next to her.

Trin turned on her side and opened her eyes looking over at Ayame. She smiled.

"Hey Imoto." She seemed to not have noticed Duo.

"Hey nesan." she said quietly before Duo gave her the aspirin. Duo looked over to Trin. "Good. You're awake too."

"I wish I was dead..." She groaned and laid back down her hands on her head.

"No you don't." Duo said seriously.

"What happened? I remember the ship and hearing that the Gundams were there and Ayame and I got excited because that meant that Heero and Duo where there, and then the pilots left and then I passed out from the gas..."

"What do you mean you were excited to hear we were comin?" he said, confused, as he looked at both girls.

"Don't kid. I am in to much pain to get mad at you for pretending to be a Gundam pilot." Trin mumbled.

"Hey fine." Duo said backing off.

"If you really are one of the pilots, where are the other four?" Trin said while she rolled onto her side and closed her eyes.
"Uummmmm......Wufei is training, Heero is playing chess with Trowa, and Quatre is checking on the other girls."

"Prove it." Trin mumbled not even opening her eyes.

"Uummmmm.....kay...." Not sure how to prove it to her, he picked her up and quietly carried her to each room the guys were in, making sure they were not disturbing them. After the tour, he laid her back on her original bed. Trin's jaw had dropped and she looked at him.

"You're...you...you're really...a Gundam pilot?"

"Yep!" he said as he stood up again. "I may run and hide but I never tell a lie! The Famous Duo Maxwell!" he said as he struck a funny pose to make her laugh. Trin giggled at him.

"You're just like they say. Funny and sweet." Ayame said smiling at him. Duo blushed and smiled back.

"So..now I've said my name...what's yours?" he said still blushing as he looked at them.

"I'm Trinity..."

"...and I'm Ayame"

"Hey Imoto what do you think Kit will do when she finds out about this-?" Trin was cut off by Kits screaming from the other room "OH MY GOD!!!!! YOU'RE QUATRE RABERBA WINNER!!!!!!" Ayame and Trin burst out laughing.

"Well that's Kit for you..." Trin said in-between her laughter.

"That probably gave him a heart attack.." Duo said looking towards the door snickering.

"I thought you Gundam guys were strong..." Ayame said punching him playfully in the shoulder.

"Hey!" he said playfully punching her back. "What happened to your headache huh?" he said jokingly.

"Owww..." she said teasingly holding her head.

"Awww....I'll make it feel better..." he said laughing. He grabbed her gently on her shoulders and kissed her on top of her head.

"Oohh my gosh!!" she said "It's better!!"

"I'm going to make sure Kit hasn't hurt Quatre to much..." Trin said standing up and walking out of the room. She found Kit laying back on the bed, her eyes closed. They must have given her a sleeping pill. Rae was sitting awake watching Heero play chess with Trowa. Trin sat beside her and watched them play. Quatre walked back in the room carrying a tray with tae and cakes.

"Lets go join the others down the hall." He said walking down the hall. Trowa and Heero followed after Trin and Rae when the game came to a tie. (A/N: But I don't think that can happen...but they are both perfect so I couldn't have one lose.) Trin flopped down on the bed beside Ayame and looked at the guys.

"So...why did you save us?"

"Because we would hate to see more people die" Quatre said kindly.

"We've been fighting this war to keep civilians from dying...why let four of the beautiful ones die now?" Duo said, looking at Ayame when he said beautiful.
