~ No Doubt- Comforting Lie
**Last Time***
There was a knock on the door. Quatre got up from his seat on the couch to answer it. To his surprise, there stood Mina, drenched the falling rains. He quickly pulled her inside. She was shivering. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"Watch out!" she yelled. "There's a traitor living amongst you!"
**Present**
Mina pulled from Quatre's arms and took out her gun. She burst into the living room.
"There!" she shouted, pointing her gun right between Lita's eyes.
Duo wrenched it out of her hand and blocked Lita.
"Yo Q-man!" he said. "Get your crazy girlfriend away from my crazy girlfriend!"
Lita blushed slightly and turned to face Mina.
"I quit."
"LIAR!" Mina shouted. "Quatre, listen to me. She worked--"
"For the White Knights," Quatre finished. "She ummmm…really did quit"
"Oh," Mina said, blushing when she noticed that still Quatre had his arms around her waste from holding her back.
"I wouldn't get to close to her," Lita said, still angry about her bursting in and trying to kill her. "She has a bad habit of changing sides."
Mina stiffened and pulled from Quatre.
"Wha-what are you…"
"Oh come on," Lita said. "Minako Peacecraft."
**I was gonna end it here…be glad**
"Oh come on," Lita said. "Minako Peacecraft. Running away after the kingdom was attacked, little miss "perfect." Taught the ways of "total pacifism." But still, you ran to the White Knights, the secret force building for over a millennium. But you changed again. Came running back in the name of Love at First sight. When are you going to go back?"
"Shut up!" Mina yelled "I'm never going back! Like you're one to talk! You're the one that killed my sister! No, that was Destruction. The leader of the two, well, the once three. I was smart. I left before this whole thing. Destruction was the one who did it all, wasn't she. She was the poison of our cause."
There was a sudden crash, making everyone jump. Heero stood in the doorway, pulling a huge chunk of glass from his hand and dropping it to the ground where it rested with the other pieces of glass, distinguished only by the blood smudge. "She didn't mean too." He said in monotone, before walking out slowly.
Everything was silent. Quatre was the first to break it.
"Feel free to stay with us for ::cough, cough, EVER, cough, cough,:: as long as you like, Miss Mina. Bunny has a party today. She's going to become the next leader of the Sanq Kingdom. Our new Queen."
"Mina," She said, smiling. "And I think I will. I'm sure that Bunny is in great danger. No one wants another situation like the one with that other leader. To say she will be missed would be a lie, but I send my regrets to the carpeted floor she landed on after the accident. I mean, here I was, thinking she would die by accidentally getting her head stuck in a microwave. "
Most were silent, except Duo, who was laughing his head off. Suddenly Bunny walked in, hand in hand with WuFei. Duo laughed even harder.. Mina walked out as Bunny walked in. ::insert that funky lightning bolt of "realization"::
"Usa-hime?" Mina said at the same time Bunny said "Venus?"
They stared at each other for a long time, each wondering about the name they were called, until they were pulled in two separate directions by the confused pilots.
'So familiar…'

Hotaru sat before the mirror in a room lit dimly by at least thirty lamps. She held a hairbrush in her hand as she stared at her reflection. Any bystander would see a young, full of life but still so empty. She's wearing a long dark purple dress, darkening to a black as it reached for her toes. She had her hair up in a small bun, and looked beautiful. But still, as she stared into the mirror, brushing her bare shoulders and neck, as though it were any normal day, and any normal mission. Or maybe she wanted it to be. She stared into the mirror, seeing everything but what was there. She saw the blood and the screams and the lives she had tossed away like the stories she had written when she started training. Even worse was the innocent little girl with big purple eyes that she could never be again.
The sound of shattering glass filled the wing.
Hotaru looked at her bloody hands, put on the black gloves to hide the cuts, grabbed her gun, and left.
'Just one more mission. I can do this. Just one more. Bunny Chang, you're dead.'

WuFei watched as Trowa went dancing by with Ami and stifled his laughter when Duo stepped on Lita foot, sending her spinning into Quatre and Mina. Heero sat in the corner, silent.
'Where is that onna. Always late. And this party is for her. Where are you Bunny?'
"Fei-chan!"
WuFei turned around just as Bunny came running into his arms.
"Well you're late," WuFei said, holding her closer.
She looked up at him, pouting. "And here I was, expect you to be pleased I even showed up."
He smiled down at her, just as Duo walked by.
He began laughing uncontrollably.
Bunny giggled. She stood up and spun around, sending the first layers of he white gown flying. Her hair was up in two buns on the side of her head, but without the streamers. She looked just like the princess she was.
"How do I look?" she asked.
"Beautiful. But something's missing," WuFei said.
Bunny blushed crimson. "Wh-what is?" she asked, smiling her biggest smile.
WuFei pulled out a small crown with a large red crystal in the center. "Hime."
Bunny put it on and turned to look in the mirror. "Are you sure I can do this?"
"De ja vu. You asked me this before. Why would my answer change. You can because I believe it and you should to. You're going to become the pillar of this nation. (so sorry…I guess I've been watching too much magic knight rayearth! ^-^) Everything rests on you. But we gundam pilots support you, and always will. Because…something else is missing…"
Bunny sweatdropped. "What else?"
"This," he took out a gold ring with a crystal moon on it. "So all the guys who wanna ask you to dance will back off."
"Oh WuFei," She said, giving him a bear hug. "I'm gonna get though this inauguration so you don't have to fight anymore. Then we can all be happy."
"Bunny-chan…"

Heero looked around the room from his corner. 'I know she's here. I just need to find her.'
"Check out that girl in the corner," said a guy standing close by to one of his friends. "I asked her to dance and she pulled a gun on me."
Heero followed his gaze to the corner across from his. There she stood, looking beautiful in a silky purple dress.
'Beautiful? I'm not supposed to say that about the enemy. I can't let her stay here. For WuFei, I will stop whatever plans she has up her sleeve. Mission Accepted. I won't fail this time…'

Hotaru could feel him coming closer. She gripped the handle of her gun harder.
"Dance with me," Heero said.
Hotaru spun around, expect to feel the cold metal barrel of a gun, and instead saw him holding his hand out to her. With out thought, she took it.
And then there was a sudden explosion…and everyone died. ^-^
The End
Hope ya'll are satisfied…I might re-write the ending…I had a different one all planed out…and have most of it written…but you know what! I'm getting really fed up and it's really hot in my house and I've been working forever on this stupid webpage which isn't working!!! I figure I finish up this fic, take a small break from writing, and pick up again with my Duo/Hotaru fic I've been writing. So here's a challenge to anyone who's reading this. Convince me to continue!!! And I will. But if not, then please read my next fic when I post it up under this pen name, or the pen name of Akira Maxwell.
