Duo flipped the collar of Duet's coat up to hide his face and ducked into the computer lab. It was empty save for the huge control panels set up against the metal walls. The door slid shut behind him. He sat down on the stool in front of the main controls and began typing furiously. Heero's image popped up on the vid screen mounted on the wall.

"Where are the others?" he asked.

"Funny you should ask," Duo smirked and continued his rampage across the keyboard. "Connection with OZ Newark base deleted. Their control has been completely severed," he continued.

"It's safe to attack!" Heero called to Quatre and Wufei.

"Over and out!" Duo smiled and closed the link. "That wasn't too difficult. Now to rescue those two-" Duo's sentence was cut short by a fist to the stomach as he spun on the stool.

"So you're the punk chic that escaped from the L4 base, eh?" was all the disoriented Duo heard before he slipped into unconsciousness.

Heero drew his beam cannon and pointed it at the shuttle the had taken off when they began destroying the base. With one shot, it was completely obliterated. They others made short work of the base, Sandrock and Nataku tearing through the warehouses and destroying the command towers. "Mission: complete," he smirked.

Duet was lounging in a corner of the cell, toying with the handcuffs that she had easily removed, when Duo was thrown in. "I don't know what's going on here, but that's not a girl," the soldier who was carrying the Duet imposter observed. The real Duet was caught off guard, but became furious when she saw what had happened to Duo. She reached into her trench coat that Duo was wearing and pulled out the handgun she had pocketed a while back. She leveled it at the soldiers, shaking with rage. Then, she fired a few rounds at them, hoisted Duo over her shoulder, and ran.

The few soldiers who where left standing gave chase, but balked when Duet shot at their feet. She rounded a corner and ran straight into Trowa. Gently, he took Duo from her and put an arm around her shoulder to right her. She handed him her gun and he kept it under her chin.

"It's all right. I've got them under control," Trowa said calmly and the other soldiers shrugged them off and left to help their fallen comrades. "You've caused quite a bit of trouble around here," he said once they left.

Duet kneeled down and rubbed her healing leg. "Is he gonna be all right?" she asked and gestured to Duo, who was just beginning to stir.

"Him? Yeah. This isn't the first time someone's punched the living tar out of him," Trowa replied calmly and set him down against the wall.

"I see you're alone. How'd you get them to trust you so fast?" Duet asked and twirled the end of her braid.

"It's not too hard. You've just got to spit every time someone mentions the word 'Gundam' and strut around like you own the place," Trowa sighed and looked around.

"Oh, wake up!" Duet hissed and bashed Duo over the head. Slowly, Duo's eyes opened.

"Wah-!" he shouted, but Duet clamped her hand over his mouth. They helped each other to their feet and looked to Trowa for instructions on what to do next. Trowa snapped on two pairs of handcuffs and pointed a gun at both their heads. Walking behind them, he slowly guided them back to the hangar.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" an OZ soldier asked when he came upon them boarding a shuttle.

"Carrying out my orders," Trowa replied calmly.

"You have no-" the soldier's sentence was cut short when the shuttle's door slammed shut. The soldier pounded a code into the keypad by the exit and the hangar door began to close.

"Hold on!" Duo yelled and the shuttle lurched towards the exit. His fingers sped across the keypad and Quatre's shuttle followed its commands. Machine guns concealed in the wings began firing madly, blowing small holes in the door. The ship shot backwards and rammed it. The titanium alloy shattered under the pressure and the shuttle was free. Trowa, Duo, and Duet hightailed it out of there.

"Ha ha ha! We did it!" Duet cheered and put Trowa in a strangle-hold hug.

"Please, act like a professional!" Trowa said and squirmed out of her embrace.

"A professional what? We made it out of there alive! What's not to celebrate?" Duet laughed and patted Trowa's head.

"Newark base destroyed!" Quatre reported once he'd linked to the ship. "Uhhh…" Duet stopped in her happy rampage and looked at Duo. "You know, forget it. I really don't want to know," he mumbled and the link closed.

"I'm Duet!" Duo laughed and pulled out the front of his shirt.

"Well, I'm the Goddess of Death! Shinmegami!" she smiled back and flipped the brim of Duo's black hat.

"You guys are too weird," Trowa shrugged and reclined in the pilot's chair.

"Do you want these back?" Duet asked and gestured to the priest outfit.

"Not really," Duo replied and hung Duet's trench coat over the back of his chair.

"Fine!" she shot back and shoved him playfully.

"I'll leave you to pilot the ship. I can't get any sleep with you two flirting left and right," Trowa smiled slightly and stood up. "You smiled!" Duet cried happily and held him out in front of her. It only made him smile more. He slipped away from her and disappeared into the passenger area of the shuttle.

Duet sat down in the chair Trowa had vacated and put her feet up on the control panel. "How far back to Quatre's?" she asked and toyed with her collar.

"Too far," Duo replied and put both his legs over one arm of the chair. It didn't take long for both of them to drift off.

Trowa stood in the doorway and smiled at the pair. "Still think you're in Hell, Shinigami?" he asked Duo who had fallen asleep with a wide grin on his face.

Heero, Quatre, and Wufei were there to welcome the shuttle home when it landed. When Duo and Duet came bounding down the stairs, they saw nothing amiss until "Duo" stumbled over his right leg. Quatre smiled, but Heero and Wufei were just confused. Trowa stuck his head out the door and slowly made his way down the steps. He and Quatre exchanged glances and grinned.

"What happened to you, Duo?" Heero asked the Duo imposter.

"Damn OZ soldiers," Duet mumbled, trying her best to sound like Duo and succeeding.

"Lucky for you I was there," Duo added, raising his voice an octave. His voice cracked and the four who knew what was going on burst out in fits of giggles. Heero and Wufei got their worst scare when who that thought was Duet began talking in a deep, boyish voice.

"You would think you would have figured it out when I contacted you," Duo said and poked Heero in the shoulder.

"What are you talking about, Duet," he asked and back away.

"God! I'm not Duet!" Duo laughed.

"God! I'm not Duet!" Duet mimicked.

"What's wrong with you two?" Wufei asked and the pair fixed him with identical confused looks.

"C'mon, Heero! You know me!" Duet pouted and hugged Heero around the chest.

"Duo! What are you doing!?" Heero cried and tried to pry Duet off. Trowa pulled them apart and goaded Duet over towards Duo. They stood side by side in identical poses and laughed.

"They switched outfits to confuse OZ. Duet even fooled me, but apparently, nothing gets by Quatre," Trowa explained.

"Well, Duo doesn't exactly have a habit of hugging Trowa," Quatre smiled and shrugged helplessly. Duet removed Duo's baseball cap and Duo untied Duet's trench coat and Heero sighed in relief.

"He's huggable! Like a big teddy bear!" Duet cried and latched onto him again.

"Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference. Duet had to tell me," Trowa said once everyone was inside. Duo and Duet were both wearing the priest outfits since Duo had convinced Duet not to get changed.

"It's still confusing," Wufei sighed and glanced at the two of them.

"Well, Duo's the one without the cup size, factually speaking," Heero explained. Duet looked a little indignant, but mostly ignored the comment.
