I slowly turned my head to the side, only to see another boy my age, curled up

and sleeping intently. He had blond hair and wore a light-pink-almost-white

shirt with a purple vest and khaki pants. Another weird get-up. I rubbed my

temples in frustration. How are these people appearing out of nowhere???

My cat Oreo jumped up beside the blond and curled up along with him.

"Hey, that stupid cat! She never curls up with me!!" Duo laughed and, surprisingly,

Heero's face lightened as well. He had such a gourgeous smile...

Duo crept up beside the sleeping figure. Heero's face fell and he shook his head

solemly. Duo nodded. Heero, once again, shook his head, followed by Duo

nodding. Heero smirked and an evil grin spread across Duo's face. I watched

this chain of events. Maybe these guys are human afterall....

Duo sprang up and screamed "QUATRE!!!!!" Apparently that was the blond's

name......

Quatre stumbled off the sofa and lay at Duo's feet, his eyes wide with confusion.

Duo couldn't control his hysterical laughter. I laughed as well.

"Did widdle Katwa fawl off and go boom?" Duo teased. I laughed even harder

at this, and even Heero cracked an amused smile. Quatre rose to his feet,

rubbing his head. "Wh-where am I? This isn't.... oh, I forgot! I slept through the

alarm! I wanted to be awake to formerly introduce myself......" his rather high

voice trailed off at the sight of me. "Hi, I'm Quatre Raberba Winner!" I shook

hands and smiled. "I'm Kathryn Joel Therese Lambert!" Duo bursted out laughing.

Quatre smiled sweetly. "Pleased to meet you!" What a cutie...

I looked down to see Duo wiping his eyes and smiling. I giggled at the sight.

"Well, that is my name!" I poked him in the rib with my foot playfully.

"So, why are you guys here?" Duo shook his head smiling. I tickled him with my

foot which made him laugh uncontrollably. "WHO SENT YOU?!" I joked,

mimicking Dr. Evil from Austin Powers. Duo, still laughing, held up two fingers.

"What?" I stopped tickling for a minute.

Duo said, in between breaths,"We... have to.... wait for..two more...people!"

"Oh, k." I plopped down on the sofa once again. It was now 11:00, since I had

gotten off of school early for exams. Roxy bounded playfully into the room and

stopped short at the sight of Quatre. "ROXYYYY!!!" Duo exclaimed and started

playing. Finally, someone with enough energy to keep up with that crazy dog!....

I thought. "Ok, now I'm bored." I sighed. "When are the other two getting here?"

Heero walked into the kitchen. "Heero, where are you going?" I asked.

He stopped for a moment and looked ver his shoulder. "I'm going to have a look

around your house- if that's ok?" Duo's mouth dropped open. "Whoa, Heero

actually asked you! That's..... unusual...." I ignored Duo's comment. "Sure,

Heero, that's fine." Heero nodded and walked into the living room out of sight.

"Ooo kaaayy...." I commented. "Don't mind him, he's... well.... kind of anti-

social," Duo informed me. Roxy got jealous of Duo putting his attention to

something else and jumped up to his face, nipping his nose. "AHH! Ow. Roxy!"

Duo rubbed his nose and patted the puppy's head. Roxy's ears suddenly shot up

she bolted out of the room. "Roxy? Where are you going?" I looked at Duo and

he shrugged. I heard Roxy's bark from the back of the house. I jumped up and

sprinted to the back room. I heard Duo say "She's fast!" and I smiled to myself.

Duo and Quatre followed me to the source of the barking. I was filled with

terror with what I saw.....




*******************************



"W-WHAT IS THAT?!" I screamed. The window right over my bed was all the

way open and there was a huge towering structure outside in my backyard!

I fainted right there, and when I came-to, Duo, Quatre, and Heero were

standing over me. I felt my head. There was a bump on the back of my head

and I sat straight up. I felt dizzy and laid back down. Heero put a wet rag on

my head. "You shouldn't try to get up just yet. You hit your head pretty hard."

"See Quatre? I told ya she'd be fine! You worry too much!" Quatre nodded to

Duo in response. "How did you know where the towels were?"

Heero's face softened at my question. "That's why I explored the house. I knew

you'd freak out at the sight of Wing Zero."

I glanced out the window. The huge figure still stood there, motionless.

"Wing... Zero?" Heero nodded. He must have seen my utterly confused

expression because he proceeded to explain. "Wing Zero is my mobile suit.

As you can tell, we're not from around here. In a nutshell, we came from the

future to prevent a war that ended a while ago in our time. It was a long and

terrible war resulting in many deaths. We fought in machines called mobile

suits. Duo, Quatre, and I, along with Trowa and Wufei, fought with our mobile

suits made of Gundanium alloy, or "Gundams." The end result was in peace, but our

Gundams were destroyed, one way or another, and all mobile suits disappeared.

We decided to prevent the war from ever happening. We travelled back and

retrieved our Gundams, and appeared in your house. But...." Heero paused and

fiddled with a clock-like thing. "But what?" I could hardly believe this tale,

let alone dismiss the fact that there was a monstrosity from the future parked

in my backyard! I wanted to hear the rest of their story. "But...this stupid clock

the engineers gave me to time our arrival messed up, and Wufei and Trowa

won't be coming for another couple of hours." There was silence for a minute

as I took in everything Heero had just told me.

"Well, what were you planning to do when you got here?"

"We didn't expect to land in someone's house! That's another thing that clock

screwed up!" Duo piped in.

I thought for a moment. "Um, well, if you want, you can stay here until they

get here. Thatisifyouwant." I smiled, knowing that my face must be turning red

at that moment. Duo smiled and agreed. Quatre thanked me profusely. Heero

raised an eyebrow. "You don't mind us three staying here? We would just be

complicating things for you, and knowing Duo, he may eat you out of house

and home..."'

"Don't worry about it! We have plenty of food and space," I reassured them.

Heero nodded. "Thanks." He climbed out the window and into the Gundam.

I stood up. I felt a little wobbly, but otherwise fine. At least I thought I felt

fine.....

I felt myself slowly fall backwards. My knees had buckled. Duo sprang up and

caught me before I hit the dresser. I knew I was blushing now. "Thanks."

Duo smiled. "Don't mention it! Consider it payback for letting us stay here.

Hmmm...... speaking of payback....." Duo started tickling me, my only

weakness! Quatre laughed at the sight of us. I couldn't take it any more- I had

to break free! I squirmed out of Duo's arms, gigling and wiping my eyes. He

chuckled. It was quiet for a moment, until Oreo tore into my room and

jumped into Quatre's arms. Quatre let out a yelp sound and fell over with

the cat clinging to him. "K-Katie:HELP!" I gently lifted my cat off Quatre,

so as not to rip his shirt. Roxy barged in after Oreo, spotted me holding

her, and jumped as high as she could. She practically ripped my school skirt.

"No no Roxy! Come here!" Duo picked Roxy up and she began knawing on his

arm. He looked at me and shrugged. I shook my head. I was feeling much better now.

"Hey guys, stay here- I have to change out of this semi-ripped skirt. Don't move

and I'll be right back."

Duo and Quatre nodded. I shoved through my closet and grabbed a pair of jeans

and a shirt and ran to the bathroom to change. The whole five minutes I was

gone, I prayed they weren't doing anything.... destructive. I rushed out the

bathroom and down the hall. I opened the door to my room, only to find Duo

staring at the TV and Quatre trying to cover his own eyes. Oh God, what are

they watching??? I glanced at the TV....


.....'Cause now, I'm- Strooong-er, than yessterday,

Now it's noth-ing but myyy wayy, my

Looon-li-ness ain't kill-ing me no moooore,

III, III'm STRONGER......


I breathed a sigh of relief. Quatre desperately tried not to watch Britney dance

around in her video "Stronger," but obviously, the temptation was too great.

Duo was about to drool... we can't have that, now can we? I thought

mischeviously. Why were they acting like they've never seen Britney Spears

befo- oh, right, from the future. So they didn't know that what they were

watching was G.... hehehe.....

"DUO!!!" Duo snapped back to reality. "W-what?" he asked in a nervous little

voice. Quatre was trying to look innocent, and not succeeding....

"WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING?!"

"allIdidwaspressthepowerbuttonandthiscameonIdidn'tdoanythingsorry!!!!!!"

I cracked up laughing. Duo raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "Duo, it's only Britney

Spears, the 'teen pop queen'! That's her new video."

"Oh....." Duo retuned his attention back to Britney dancing around way-to-tight

pants and a weird looking shirt. Quatre did the same.

All of a sudden, Heero fell in through the window and landed, perfectly on his feet.

He rose and noticed what Quatre was staring at and what Duo was drooling

over. He cocked an eyebrow and shook his head. He paused, looking around

and finally walked over to my desk. He stood there for a moment, then a

dark blue jacket appeared from nowhere. He picked it up and hopped out the

window. This day keeps getting weirder and weirder......

And later and later....

"What time is it?!" I asked suddenly. Britney's video just ended and Duo was

'concious' again. He glanced at my clock. "It's 12:59." My eyes grew wide with shock.

"Why?"

"MY DAD'LL BE HOME ANY SECOND!!!! WHAT AM I GONNA TELL HIM?!"

"The truth." Heero suddenly appeared on the windowsill, holding the curtains

for balance. "That seems easy enough, but do you think he'll actually BELIEVE

me?! I mean, what proof do I have to back the truth up?" Heero pointed

to the Wing Zero. I nodded. "That'll do it."

I heard the door unbolt and a familiar voice call my name.....
