Well, I guess no one really appreciates my writing huh? Well anyways, I know that some people want me to continue because they were nice enough to tell me that. Unlike others, but I won't let that bother me, no I won't. I refuse to. I am very stubborn and proud of it. Be kind, review.
Disclaimer: I do not now nor have I ever, nor will I ever own Gundam Wing. Rich people do, and that so rules me out. And now that I've spoken my mind on with the story.

The stars were shining just as bright as ever and they seemed so much bigger today then before. Duo looked around at the other Gundams as they headed to the L28 colony. 'Relena, I hope you guys are all right. Who knows what that Jass is gonna do when he gets home. Hey, why am I worrying? Heero is there. He'll take care of everything.' "Hey Milliardo, is that the colony?" Duo asked as his vid window came up into view next to Milliardo.
"Yeah, that's it. Let's go you guys. I don't think Jass has arrived yet." Milliardo said to the others and they blasted off towards the giant object in front of them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Relena awoke as she head a knock on the door. She felt something move beside her and looked over as Heero stood up and walked to the door. When the knowledge finally sunk in she started to blush a light crimson color. Heero opened the door and a crewman stood in the doorway. Relena remembered what Jass said and got up and walked over by Heero.
The crewman smirked a bit as he looked at Relena, but as he looked at Heero his smirk faded quickly. 'Geez, this guy is cold,' he thought. "Commander Jass would like for you two to join him at breakfast. Get ready and meet him in the mess in ten minutes." The crewman talked quickly as to not have to stay there in front of Heero much longer, the look in his eyes grew colder and more frightening by the second. When he finished Heero closed the door in the crewman's face and he sighed before walking down the hall to the control room.
"Well that was nice," Relena commented as Heero walked past her, not paying much attention to what he said. 'Right, like he would of cared.' She looked down at herself and realized that she had been wearing the same thing for the last three days and even worse was the fact that she hadn't been able to shower. 'Ooh, I feel really icky," her thoughts were interrupted by Heero.
"You can go in there and take a shower if you want," he said pointing to the door that was to the left side of the room from the bed. She smiled then nodded and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. Heero walked over and sat on the couch, thinking about what to do next.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The other pilots managed their way into the colony with out too many problems:
"Dang it. I think we may have a few problems getting in you guys." Quatre said as he saw a small fleet of mobile dolls fly towards them.
"Oh, well this shouldn't be to much of a problem. There are only twenty of them that will make it four each. Let's go," WuFei hurried off in one direction and the others followed his lead and split off to fight their own battles. WuFei flew close up to his first rival and sliced it with Altron's Twin Beam Trident, using practically the same technique for the second one. He then flew in between the two others and nailed them with the Double Dragon Fang.
Quatre blasted into battle with the first two suits and cut them in half with Sandrock's Twin Heat Blades. For the next one he used the Beam Machine Gun and blew them up. The last one took him a little longer and a bit of chasing after it attacked him from behind with a cheap shot. Quatre flew after him and got him just before he ran into Trowa's area.
Flying quickly to the left of the suit, Trowa shot him with the Gatling Guns in Heavyarms' chest cavity. He darted up to the next one and hit him with one of his Vulcan Guns. Trowa took a shot to the left leg from a suit that was about 200 yards from him. Using his Micro Missile Launchers, Trowa destroyed him easily as his final opponent charged him. Using the blade on his right forearm, he slashed the suit and it blew up just as Heavyarms passed him.
"You can't hide when the God of Death is on your tail!" Duo shouted as he used the Twin Beam Scythe to slice the suit and watched it blow up. Looking at the radar screen he saw that one was coming right up behind him. He turned quickly and slashed its arm off. The suit froze from malfunctioning and Duo took this as an easy shot to take him out, he didn't waste his opportunity. Swinging the Scythe above his head, Duo brought it down with great strength and destroyed the suit. Dashing up to the next two, he quickly finished them off with three swings of his scythe.
Milliardo had an easy time with his four. Taking out his Beam Saber, he slashed through them as if they were made of tin. The first two insisted on a little game of cat and mouse, them being the mouse, of course. Milliardo finished the other two off quickly and hurried to meet up with the others.
They all climbed out of their Gundams and landed on the ground. They hid the Gundams in the back of a hanger behind a well-grounded ship. It had been practically demolished due to getting caught in a cross fire on its way to the colony. "Well, that was fun. Ooh, the joy of battle!" Duo said proudly as he stretched out. "So what do we do now?"
"Well, first we better find the Jass mansion. We should be there when Jass, Heero and Relena get there."
"You're right, Trowa. We better figure out a plan quick." Quatre stated as he looked around at the others.
"Hey, does anyone mind if we get a little bit of rest first? I mean according to what Relena said, they wouldn't arrive until tonight anyways, right? So that does leave us a bit of time," Duo asked them all.
"Alright. We should rest and get something to eat before tonight. Let's go," Milliardo said and lead them all into the city.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Relena got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her. She dried and combed her hair and put it up similar to how it was before. She was about to get dressed when she noticed a pile of clothes on the counter. She got dressed and stepped out into the room. She stepped out and bumped into Heero who was leaning on the doorframe. "Oops. Sorry Heero. Why were you standing there?" Relena asked half confused, half embarrassed.
"Jass said that I have to stay within four feet of you. I didn't think he would be mad if I didn't go in there when you were in the shower." Heero said flatly as he stepped aside and she walked out into the room. Heero watched her walk out. She looked completely different now then she did before. Now instead of wearing the blue sundress, she was wearing a white baby doll tee shirt with a gold glittered playboy bunny head on it and dark blue stonewashed flares with black leather sandals.
Relena walked over and sat on the couch. Heero walked over and sat by her. As he walked by she noticed he too, had changed. He was no longer wearing the crewman's uniform he had worn earlier, but khakis with cargo pockets, Dr. Martens, and a black, long sleeved shirt with orange flames patterns on the sleeves and across the chest. "Are we at the colony yet?" Relena asked as soon as Heero sat down.
"In another hour we should be. Jass said to change and he would send someone to come get us before we arrive," Heero said this in his usual monotone voice, but this time he kept staring at the wall. The only thing he could think of staring at besides Relena or the playboy bunny. They heard a knock on the door and as Heero stood, so did Relena and she followed him to the door. On the other side a crewman, in his uniform, who had short choppy black hair and a medium build plus a rather nice tan, told them to follow him to the control room. Relena went behind him, followed by Heero.
In the control room, Jass was talking on a vid-phone to his mother. The crewman led Heero and Relena over to Jass and left them there. Heero watched as Jass argued with his mother. Looking at the screen, he noticed that Ms. Jass (A.N. remember she's a widow.) was a woman who looked a lot nicer than she sounded right now. She was yelling at her son because he was supposed to be home an hour ago and well, she wasn't very happy.
"Eric! You had me worried sick! You were supposed to be home by now! Where are you? Are you going to be home soon?" his mother asked very worriedly.
"Mother, don't worry. I should be home in less than an hour. We just have to land the ship and I-we will be home as soon as possible. I promise," Jass said trying to calm his mother down.
"Alright. But please do hurry. I will have dinner ready when you arrive. See you soon. I love you," his mother said with a smile.
"I love you too mother. Good bye," Jass muttered, since he didn't want anyone to hear the first part. He hung up the vid-phone (if that works anyway?) and turned around to talk to Heero and Relena. "Well, I guess you heard what mother said? We will be landing shortly so if you two would please take a seat," he motioned with his hand towards seats near the back of the room. They were securely bolted into the floor so no matter what happens they wouldn't move. Relena sat down next to Heero and as soon as Jass walked away she muttered, "Mama's boy."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Milliardo was talking to pilots after they left the diner that they had gone to for brunch that morning. The guys followed Relena's directions to the Jass mansion.
"Hello, Ms. Jass. Your son, Eric, sent us here ahead of him to make sure that this place was secure for his arrival later today," a very convincing Duo said.
"Eric never said anything about this, are you sure?" she asked a little confused.
"Oh yes, you see, your son didn't think of this until recently and he called us and had us come over," the quick cover up came from the blonde headed boy she saw behind the one with the 'weird' braid.
"Oh, well if Eric said so, then I guess it is alright to let you in," she said opening the door.
They walked in and they spread out around the mansion. They were dressed up as security guards and they had guns and radios with them so as soon as Jass arrived with Heero and Relena they would all know and meet up in the back yard where they had planned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The ship landed and the three of them were driven to the Jass mansion in a black limo. Relena and Heero sat in the back seat and Jass sat across from them in the front. Relena kept watching out the window, Jass kept watching her, and Heero kept watching Jass.
Jass stepped out of the limo first followed by Heero. Eric had tried to help Relena out but she made Heero go first and he helped her out instead. "Now, please be nice to mother, she doesn't like rude people. And of course, as always, please remember that you can only make a first impression once," he said still a little annoyed at Relena's actions.
He led them into the mansion and greeted his mother at the door. "Hello mother. It's so good to see you again," he said with a hug. "This is my-This is Relena, the girl I told you about," he changed his words when he saw the look on her face of hatred and didn't think mother would believe him if he said beloved or girlfriend. "And this is Chris, one of my crewman."
"Hello, it is very nice to meet the both of you. Please, please, come in won't you?" she said/asked as she cleared the doorway for them. Ms. Jass, was a short, beautiful woman who new how to impress people. She seemed so much kinder now than she did on the phone earlier.
"Thank you very much Ms. Jass. It is very nice to meet you, too," Relena said. Heero nodded to her. A slight frown appeared on her face for only a second but them led them into her house.
"Come on Chris," Eric whispered to him. "I told you to be nice to my mother, that means you have to talk to her." Heero nodded and continued walking next to Relena. They followed her into the dinning room where their dinner was set up. They sat and ate dinner while Ms. Jass and Eric talked and every once and a while Relena would answer a question or two. Heero just sat there and said less than fifteen words the whole time.
After dinner, Eric showed Relena around the mansion and Heero just followed making sure no one unexpected was there. He showed them all the rooms, the rooms for the meetings, dinners, the bedrooms, the guestrooms, the bathrooms, the living rooms, the study rooms, all the rooms you could think of. The room he hated the most was the room that both Heero and Relena liked best: the game room. Once or twice he thought he saw something or someone hiding in the large hallways behind pillars or around the corner, but thought better of it and stayed there as to not cause alarm.
Eric led them out to the back yard to show Relena the garden. It looked beautiful in the moonlight. The pond shimmered and the full moon's refection showed wonderfully as the water rippled from the tiny fish swimming in it. Square shaped hedges served as walls surrounding the garden. At the base of them, were millions of flowers that were only cut off because of the paths that were intertwined around the middle pond and around the outer edges. Scanning the area, Heero thought he saw someone standing at the back entrance but if there was, they were only there for a second. 'I wonder if that was Milliardo or one of the others, or if it was someone else. I should go check it out.' "How do you like it my dear?" The voice interrupted Heero's thoughts, and then he remembered that Eric and Relena were here, too.
"It's... big."
"Is that all you have to say about it my dear Relena?" he asked a little hurt.
She gave him a mad look for calling her 'dear.' "It's... green," she said as she looked away from him.
"Well it is a garden-your garden, I mean," he said slyly.
Relena just rolled her eyes and started to walk around the garden, Heero following her close behind. "Heero, when do you think my brother and the others will show?" she asked him quietly when she was sure Eric wouldn't be able to hear them since he stayed at the entrance as the other two walked away.
"I'm not sure. I thought I saw someone in the back entrance, but that could have been one of the guys or anyone or anything else," he said quietly in his monotone voice. They were walking side by side through the garden and were nearing the back.
A sigh escaped Eric's lips as he watched Relena walk. 'She's so beautiful. Those clothes probably didn't give the best impression on mother but I think she liked her.' "I'm going to go talk to mother, you guys don't stay our here too much longer alright. And don't think of trying to escape because I have a very sensitive security system and plenty of guard dogs," and with that he left to go talk to mommy.
"I hate him. I really hate him," she looked at Heero. "I really do. Seriously," she looked back towards the gate in front of them. "I do."
"I can tell."
"Yeah, sorry." She looked around the gate area and on the other side of the hedges. All she saw were trees and a little shed were the gardeners kept their tools. "I don't see anyone Heero. Are you sure you, Heero, Heero?" She tried to get Heero's attention.
"Shh, I heard something." Quietly, Heero walked over towards the corner of the garden. Relena followed him, being as quiet as possible. "Relena, Run! GO! NOW!" Heero shouted. He saw that Relena was stunned at the sight of the bomb in the corner. It was motion activated and had two blocks of C4 attached to it. Heero accidentally set it off. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her with him. They raced through the garden as fast as they could run, but they only got halfway through when the bomb detonated and destroyed the entire garden.

HEHEHE! CLIFFHANGER! The only reason I left it off here was because so many people read my story and less than 10 reviewed it. Oh, sweet revenge. Hey, don't worry, the moment I finished this, I started writing the next one while I still have the idea in my head.
