Hi. Thanks to those that reviewed.

Relena had been setting at the table in the Heiwa Japanese Café for over an hour with Amber and Heero. 'I wonder if they ever get along.' Relena thought as Heero and Amber argued.
"But I want to see the old Peacecraft Castle ruins," Amber said.
"I want to go back," Heero said.
"Well you can't if Rel want to see them," Amber said.
"Who?" Heero asked.
"Relena, you idiot," Amber said.
"What do you want to do Relena?" Heero asked turning to her. Relena looked up with a confused expression on her face.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?" she asked.
"What do you want to do?" Heero repeated.
"I guess whatever you two where wanting to do," she said turning back to play with her food.
"What's wrong?" Heero and Amber said at the same time.
"What makes you think something is wrong?" she asked.
"You've rarely talked the whole time we've been out and you're playing with your food," Heero said.
"And you look like your about to naku," Amber said.
"I'm about to what?" Relena asked
"Cry," Heero said.
"Oh, I'm just thinking," Relena said. Amber was about to say something when a bullet shot though the window. The room was filled with screams as more guns were shot. Heero pulled out a gun as Amber pushed Relena under the table. She to pulled a gun out as well and began to fire. The Preventers arrived and mange to get things under control.

Reuben was reading when he heard a gun shot off. 'What the heck…?' he thought as he got up to look out his window. The guards posted at his window were leavening to check out what had happened.
'My Lord, God, Please protect those men and my sisters and me. Please do not let anyone die and please kept us safe. Please, Lord. Amen.' Reuben prayed. He always prayed when he was frightened or worried and right now he was both.
He heard more gun shots but he couldn't see anything.
"Reuben, do you hear that?" a voice asked. Reuben turned to see his two sisters standing in the door.
"Yeah, the guards under my window went to see what was going on," he said. Sammy and Sophie went to stand next to Reuben.
"Wonder why they haven't told us anything," Sammy said after five minutes. The guards still hadn't return.
"You say 'I wonder'," Sophie said. Reuben put his arm around her.
"There is nothing to be afraid about. The Lord is with us," Reuben said.
"What makes you think I'm scared?" Sophie asked.
"You only correct people when they talk when you're scared," Reuben said with a slight smile.
"I want to see what's goin' on down stairs but I get the feelin' somethin' isn't right," Sammy said.
"You to, huh?" Sophie whispered.
"Maybe we should pray," Reuben said.
"Good idea," Sammy said as she wrapped her arm around Sophie. They all bowed their heads and began to pray silently. They continued praying till they heard someone scream, "Hey Boss I found them."

"There are just too many," Sally yelled as she, Duo, Trowa, and Wufei, the only ones left standing, battled the terrorist group that was taking over the Peacecraft mansion.
"I know but we've got to try," Duo said. He punched a man who had been trying to kill him with a knife. The man slice Duo's arm. Blood began to gush out and drenched him in more of his own blood. Duo kicked the knife out of the man's hand.
It landed near Trowa, who made a dive for it. He managed to grab it and thrust it in the man's chest. Another man came up from behind and hit Trowa on the head with the back of his gun. Trowa was knocked unconscious and feel to the ground. More blood stained the dark green grass red.
Wufei punched the man before he could fire at Trowa. The man turned and tried to fire at Wufei. Wufei kicked the gun out of the man's hand. Duo grabbed the gun and shot the man. More men came and eventuality over powered them.

"Alright, listen up. You three are comin' with us and if ya put up any resistances, me and my men will open fire on ya," said the man who found Reuben and his sisters.
"What do you want with us?" Reuben asked. He tightened his arm around Sophie.
"Just for ya to cooperate with us. Now come on. We ain't got all day," the man said. Reuben began walking towards the man slowly, with Sammy and Sophie following.
"Why don't you have your gun drawn?" Reuben asked. The man eyed him.
"Because you insignificant idiot…," the man began before another man cut in.
"Sean get them out of here before Yuy get back here."
"Right boss. Move now," Sean said drawing out a gun. Reuben moved down the hall with the others following him. When they reached the end of the stairwell, Sophie let out a small gasp. In the room dead and injured people laid on the ground staining the white marble floor red.
'Lord, please help us.' Sophie thought as she walked out side. Everyone was on the ground either dead or coming very close. Reuben stopped at the gate.
"Get in the black van," Sean said. Reuben, Sophie, and Sammy did as they were told. The van pulled off and turned down a street as the Preventers pulled up to the mansion that had began to turn in to a war zone.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Relena walked down the street going back to the mansion. Heero and Amber walked on either side other her. Silence stretched over them, the experience at the café still in their minds.
"Are you ok, Relena?" Heero asked.
"I'll be fine," Relena replied softly. Amber was about to say something when her cell-phone ringed.
"Hello?…WHAT…Are you sure?…Yeah, we'll be there in a couple minutes…Yeah, Good-bye," Amber ended the phone call. She stood still, not saying a word. Then she started cry. Heero wrapped his arms around her.
"Amber, what's wrong?" Relena asked.
"Th…They to…took our children," Amber managed to say. Heero and Relena's eyes widen.
