"Chapter 3: Pick Up the Guys"
....................
Quatre took Heero's agreement and they left the basement and went to Quatre's office.
Quatre explained, "I just have to get a few things done before I leave." He typed a few quick things and turned off the computer, "I just have to tell people that I won't be around for today."
"Who do you want to go and see first?" Heero watched him move out from behind the desk.
"Oh, I don't know. What about Duo?" Quatre didn't look up yet.
"Naw, not Duo," Heero disagreed.
"Oh, yeah, right," Quatre laughed. "Well, Trowa's on the next colony over. That would seem like the most logical choice."
"Do you know where the Preventers are?" Heero asked.
"Well, I think that Wufei is on Earth right now, and I think Duo is there too, so we can get them there," Quatre was walking out the door. "Let's go to the fifth hanger on the East side of the colony, and we can take one of my space ships from there."
They arrived at the hanger and took off from the next colony, where the circus was supposed to be.
They came up to the tent.
Quatre went towards the trailers, "I'm going to look into Trowa's trailer. Maybe he's in there."
Heero went to look into the tent, where he met up with Catherine.
Catherine ran into Heero, "Oh, it's you. Don't tell me you came to sit quietly with Trowa again."
"No," Heero answered, "we're having a reunion, I guess."
"We? Who else is here?" Catherine looked around.
"Quatre. Where's Trowa," Heero said quickly.
"Oh, Quatre, okay. Oh, Trowa's on the tightrope. He's been practicing an awful lot. I think he's getting bored."
Heero walked by her into the tent. Trowa was standing on the middle of the tightrope. Heero watched him, as Trowa did a flip back onto the rope. Trowa caught a glimpse of someone down on the floor. He looked down and saw Heero standing there, looking up. Trowa ran across the rope to the ladder and was basically jumping down.
"Heero," Trowa was still running. "What are you doing here? Is there something up?"
Heero shook his head, "Quatre wanted to have a reunion, so we came here first. He's over at your trailer."
Quatre walked in, "No, I'm not. Catherine told me you were in here."
Trowa had a happy expression on his face, "I've been wondering what you guys have been up to."
"We can talk about that later," Quatre happily said. "Do you mind going to Earth to pick up Duo and Wufei?"
Trowa smiled, "Of course not. Just let me go tell Cathy."
Trowa walked out to find Catherine. She was outside, looking at the elephant's foot.
Quatre and Heero saw him saw something and Catherine nodded. Trowa started walking back towards them. They left the colony and started for Earth.
They arrived quite quickly and they went to the Preventers Headquarters. As they walked into the HQ, the three showed up on Sally's monitor.
She gladly jumped up and ran to the elevator thinking, 'I wonder what they're doing here? I hope nothing is happening.'
The elevator doors opened and Heero and Trowa turned quickly tot eh opening doors to see Sally standing there. Quatre was speaking with one of the people behind a desk. Trowa gave him a nudge with his elbow, and Quatre turned to see Sally also.
Sally walked out to them and gleefully said, "Hey, pilots! What are you doing here?"
"We're looking for Wufei," Trowa said plaintively.
"Oh, he's over at the barracks," she pointed to the right. "There's nothing going on that I should know about, right?"
Quatre spoke up, "I just missed everyone, and I decided to go and gather them up."
Sally nodded, "Okay, as long as nothing is going wrong."
They left the building and went to the tents that were set up on the side.
They heard Wufei talking, "When are they actually going to build a building for us? I'm tired of living in a tent."
Another voice answered, "I know, but they say that we don't have the funding."
Wufei laughed, "I know for a fact that we have the money. We just haven't found a contractor yet. I wish I would have more say in this organization. I'm just like an officer or something."
"Wufei!" Quatre yelled.
Wufei sat up and didn't see them yet. He stood and said, "I'll be right back."
He walked down the path in the middle of the line of tents. Then he saw them.
"Hey!" he sped up his pace. "Did you hear?"
"What?" Trowa looked at him.
"We had a hacker from an unknown organization come here last night," Wufei explained.
"Really?" Heero asked.
"We can talk about this later. We still have to pick up Duo," Quatre broke the conversation.
"Well, can we go to space?" Wufei asked quickly.
They finally found Duo's shop and stopped by.
Hilde ran out to Duo in the back, "Hey, Duo, there's some guys here to see you."
"Really?" Duo laughed, "Tell them I'm working. I still haven't gotten this part, and I really don't want to order it."
Hilde picked him up off of his knees, "C'mon, Duo, you never have any friends over."
Duo looked up, "Friends?"
Hilde dragged him to the door, "Yeah, they're all your age. Four of them."
Duo ran past Hilde into the building, "It's the guys."
Hilde yelled, "Duo?!"
Duo saw all four of them, "It really is you!"
Wufei laughed, "Don't you ever tell your girlfriend anything? She seemed like she had no clue who we were."
Duo laughed a little.
"Are you busy?" Quatre asked. "I wanna know if you want to go back to the colonies for a little reunion."
"Sure!" Duo smiled as Hilde walked in. Duo leaned towards Quatre and whispered, "Can Hilde come? I'd hate to leave her."
Quatre said, "Yes, she's welcome to come."
The other three gave Quatre an angry look.
Duo laughed, "Hey, she'll be no trouble at all. She's a good kid."
"Hey!" Hilde yelled. "I'm just as old as you!" She laughed, "Are you gonna introduce me before I run off somewhere with all of them."
"You know these guys," Duo answered. "Heero, Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre."
Hilde smiled, "Oh! Those guys! Of course I do! Nice to see you all."
Quatre smiled, "Likewise. We're just having a little reunion on the new colony, Z3000. I just wanted to see you all again, and I hoped we could be better friends and see each other more often. We got so close when we were fighting, and then, we just drifted apart from each other."
Duo laughed, "Yeah, work."
Wufei nodded with Quatre continuing, "I know that I have been extremely busy. I thought I could use a little stress-relief."
The reunited five left Earth and headed for Quatre's colony for a party when they arrive.
