Hedwig looked up as Duo brought her a letter for her Master. She held out her leg and he attached the, by now, really long letter. "Take this to Harry Hedwig."

She gave him a gentle nip on his finger and took off.

Duo watched her leave with a smile. "I hope Harry likes this letter, it was a lot longer than all the other letters that we have exchanged before." Hopefully Heero would never realize exactly how big a security risk Harry could have been…

"It was a huge surprise when the others wanted to add to my letter." He was sure that Heero at least would have killed him. Not that this wasn't a welcome surprise. Duo looked at the picture they had sent. "This is so amazing, I can't believe that she found… Green Eyes. She's right though, we do look a lot alike. Maybe after the war is over- if we all survive, we can meet…" for the first time in a long time, Duo contemplated the idea that he just might have real family. Sure, 01, 03, 04, and 05 were what he would consider his family, but family by blood was a bit different.

He liked that thought. "I just hope OZ never goes there…" but it would be just their luck if OZ did attack England. Duo shook his head. "I shouldn't think about that! I might jinx us, and them."

And he would hate himself forever if Hermione and Harry got killed because of his carelessness. If OZ found them then he didn't care if he was on a mission, he'd put his life on the line to save them. He looked up when Heero entered the room. "I worry about them, Heero…" Duo turned, looking away from 01. He'd never imagined that he would develop a crush on the other pilot. He decided not to speak his worry. "Hermione was my first best friend. And now she's friends with my other best friend." He gave the other pilot one of his trademark grins.

Heero didn't answer for a minute. "You never stop amazing me Max- Duo. What are we going to do with you? You took a huge risk, what if OZ finds out?"

"Then I will go save them, on my own if I have too." Duo told him. "Harry and Pants were my first real friends after Solo died. Hermione I've known longer, but Harry was the first friend I made after the Maxwell Church Massacre. They are both very special people."

Heero looked at him with new eyes, this was a side of Duo that he had never seen before, Duo was being insightful. He wasn't sure what to think but, "Duo, I cannot speak for the others, but I will help you. If it comes to that."

"Thank you very much Heero, I appreciate it." Duo gave Heero a smile and the moving picture. "Do you agree with her Heero? Do Harry and I look alike to you?"
