Chapter 4
Meeting Quatre
"So that's two down. How many more are we visiting?"
"We are actually visiting four people but three of them are in the same place."
"And where would that be?"
"Preventers headquarters."
"So we're going to one more place after this visit?"
"Right."
"So who's left?"
"Quatre Wabber Winner, Sally Poe, Lady Une, and Wufei Chang."
"Quite the list. So from now on you'll know who we're visiting from outside right?"
"That's right."
His belt beeps an alarm.
"What was that?"
"Oh just my personal computer telling me I have mail from someone. It's probably just a family member asking where I am. Do you mind if I answer it?"
"Not at all."
He pulls out a medium sized version of a text messenger. And looks at his screen, which is black from Relena's point of view.
"Well what does it say?"
"Why should I tell you?" He questions.
"Because you're a gentleman, and I want to know."
"Well I'll tell you this much. The question to my research has been answered."
"And what was the question? And what's the answer?"
"That's for me to keep as my little secret." He said mysteriously
"You're no fun." Relena pouted.
"What? Of course I am. I bet you haven't talked to anyone this long in normal conversation."
"I suppose your right. But why won't you tell me?"
"Because it's a surprise. Wow would you look at that."
"What? Oh that's Quatre's home. He's the second pilot with a great personality."
"That's where he lives?"
"No, silly the entire station is owned by his family."
"You're not kidding me right?"
"Absolutely serious."
"Wow."

"So where exactly is Quatre's house any way?"
"See that big building?" She said as she pointed out the largest mansion in the colony.
"Yea, who could miss it?"
"That's where."
"Damn."
"Watch your language."
"Sorry I didn't realize I was living on Sesame Street." Gabriel joked.
"Where?"
"Never mind. What are we going to do with Quatre anyway?"
"The same as with the other two, stop by for dinner and play catch up."
"That's it?"
"That's it, but that should be more than enough."
"So is he with anyone?"
"Why?"
"Just so I don't get blown out of the water."
"I don't think so."
"Is that a yes or a no I don't think so."
"A, no."
"So what's he like?"
"He's actually a lot like me in most respects."
"Such as."
"Well he is a peace loving person, he's very kindhearted and caring."
"So how's he like you?" Gabriel joked.
"Very funny." Relena said sarcastically.
"I thought so." Gabriel said as he laughed lightly.
"Anyway here we are."
"May I help you?" The receptionist asked.
"Yes could you please tell Quatre that Relena Dorilan is here to see him."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Could you please just tell him?"
"It's against regulations, but I'll try any way." She picks up the phone and dials Quatre's extension.
"Hello Mr. Winner?" A pause
"This is Pat at the front desk." Another pause.
"There is a woman here saying she's Relena." She didn't get to finish her sentence. She paused again.
"Of course I'll send her right up." She hangs up.
"Last elevator on the right. That's the express straight to the top."
"Thank you."
"Of course." Said the receptionist going back to her computer.
As soon as the elevator shut Gabriel spoke up.
"Well that's a plus. Of being around you."
"What is?"
"Not having to wait in lines for anything."
The elevator sounds that they have reached the top.
"That was fast." Said Gabriel.
"Of course it was it's the express."
"Relena!" Shouted a voice.
"Dorothy?" Relena questioned.
"None other."
"I'm completely lost." Said Gabriel.
"Oh Gabriel this is Dorothy Catalonia. Dorothy this is Gabriel White. She's an old adversary."
"Still lost."
"Well," said Dorothy. "We were on opposite sides of the Earth and Colony war. I won't go into details now but afterwards I kind of just found myself with Quatre,"
"No!" Relena interrupted.
"Yes! Anyway I just kind of stayed here and now we're officially a couple. So what exactly are you doing here anyway?"
"Just to catch up on everything that's happened since we last saw each other."
"Go ahead in I'm positive he's not busy."
"Thank you Dorothy it was nice to see you again."
After Dorothy left Gabriel asked, "Who? What?"
"Maybe I'll explain when we have more time. For right now I'm going to catch up with Quatre."
"Relena!"
"Hello Quatre, I'd like you to meet my body guard Gabriel White."
"Pleased to meet you." He extends his hand.
"Like wise." Gabriel shakes it.
"It's good to see you again Relena, you haven't changed a bit."
"I would like to think I have, but thank you Quatre."
"That statement isn't like you at all Relena."
"Well I guess that Gabriel is having an influence on my personality."
"It's good to see you open up Relena. Gabriel you'll have to tell me how you did it."
"Why not over dinner? If your not busy."
"Sure. I can pretty do much whatever I want since I'm the head of the company. So where do you want to go?"
"Why don't we go to the best place in the colony?" Suggested Gabriel.
"Gabriel!" Complained Relena, about his rudeness and disrespect.
"It's all right Relena I'd be more than happy to spend any amount of money for my friends. Besides the restaurant I have I mind won't be a drain on my change bag."
(A/N): As much as I'd like to bore you with details I won't. So let's pick up after dinner.
~*~
"Well it was good to see you again Relena and I'm sorry I couldn't help you."
"Don't worry about it Quatre it was nice seeing you again too. I hope we can make these catch up visits obsolete by seeing each other more often."
"Maybe. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Said the duo in unison.
"Relena. I've got to go do something so I'll see you back at the hotel okay?"
"Alright."
"Later." He runs off.
'Now to talk with Quatre and Duo over the phone.'
Again he pulls out the ear and microphone piece and connects to Duo's number.
"Hello?" Asks Hilde.
"Can I speak to Duo Maxwell please?"
"Hold on." Silence.
"Hello?"
"Duo, I don't have time to explain but there's trouble brewing on Earth again. Another uprising is on its way."
"No." Said Duo in a soft angry tone.
"Do you still have your gundam?"
"Yes."
"Good, get it ready. I'll contact the other pilots, and then we can discuss a rally point. For now you can call me Shadow. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Goodbye," Gabriel hangs up. "Now to call Quatre."
The phone rings and the receptionist picks up.
"I need to talk to Mr. Winner right now it's an emergency."
"Hold on I'll put you right through." Hold music plays for a good minute.
"Hello?"
"Quatre, I don't have time to explain but there's trouble brewing on Earth again. Another uprising is on its way."
"No." Said Quatre in a soft angry tone.
"Do you still have your gundam?"
"Yes."
"Good, get it ready. I'll contact the other pilots, and then we can discuss a rally point. For now you can call me Shadow. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Goodbye," Gabriel hangs up. "Now to set up my little surprise for Relena."
"Space Line Shuttles. How can I help you?"
"Yes I'd like to add another destination to Relena Dorilan's flight plan."
"Does she have your permission to do so?"
"Yes I'm her bodyguard and it's a surprise."
"Alright then where would you like to book her last trip?"
"Please book two for a trip to colony 543210."
"When would you like the flight to be?"
"A day after she arrives at her next destination."
"So you would like to leave a day after she arrives at M.O. IV?"
"That would be perfect."
"Consider it done. Enjoy your trip. Thank you for using Space Line Shuttles."
"Thank you. Good bye," He hangs up and puts the ear and microphone piece back into his belt. "Now to catch up to Relena."
