Out of the corner of her eye, Relena saw two pairs of sparkling blue eyes peering throught the glass part of the door. She opened it, revealing two braided students in boys' uniforms standing on their tippy-toes. "Class, I'd like to introduce you to our two new students," she hissed through clenched teeth and quickly decide the shorter, chesty one was Duet.
In the back of the room, Dorothy was giggling and whispering to the other girls as the pair entered the room. "Girls, these are your new classmates, Duo and Duet," she explained gesturing to them in turn.
"Interesting ensemble," Dorothy remarked as Duet slid into a seat between her and Duo.
"Yes, Duet. Would you care to explain why you felt the need to make a mockery of our unifroms?" Relena added.
"Hn? You really expect me to put on that… thing you call a girls' uniform?" she snorted.
"Yes, I do."
"What are you going to do? Send me to the principal? Give me detention? Suspend me?"
"No, that's what you want, isn't it?"
Duet shrugged and nodded.
"Come with me." Relena grabbed Duet by the wrist and dragged her from the classroom to where she and Duo were boarding. "Go in the bathroom and put this on," she demanded and handed her a crimson dress. Duet shrugged again and disappeared into the small white room. She emerged seconds later in what used to be the required unifrom.
Duet had cut off the sleeves, undone the collar, and trimmed the skirt until it was almost useless, saved from being so by the bunched up slip underneath.
Relena sighed and waved it off half-heartedly. "Just… stay in your room."
"Oh no, Relena-sama! You asked me to put on my uniform and now I can go back to class!"
Slowly, the blond counted backwards from ten, storming out of the room before she reached 'one'. Every head in Relena's classroom turned when the second braided pilot entered. Duo's evil smirked matched hers as she once again took her seat. "If Duet chooses to dress in such an inappropriate fashion, so be it, but let it be know that this school does not approve of such a lack of self-respect," Relena explained as she calmly opened her History book to begin the delayed lesson.

"Heero, did you just get a message from Duo and Duet?" Quatre asked as they exited their Gundams. The fight had been short, but brutal. They sorely missed Duo's skills, and Duet's wouldn't have hurt either, but they were safely back at Quatre's desert mansion.
"Yes. Apparently, they're being held prisoner by Relena at the Sanc Kingdom."
"I heard. How did they get there? And without their Gundams?" Quatre asked Heero as they joined the others on the catwalk. Deathscythe and the Washi Ookami loomed over them as they spoke.
"According to Duo, they were abducted, but I don't see how it would be possible for a pacifist to accomplish such a feat," Trowa reasoned and joined the two.
"Perhaps she offered them candy," Wu Fei quipped as he approached them from behind.
"Don't be silly, Wu Fei!" Quatre laughed. "Duo knows better than to take candy from strangers." The four exchanged worried glance and quickly climbed back into their Gundams.
~~~
The Sanc Kindom school's foundation shook when the four Gundams descended in the middle of the campus.
"What's going on here!?" Relena screeched and the entire room, probably the entire building, crowded around the south-facing windows to see what had caused the disturbance. "Heero!" she smiled when she spotted his MS. She dashed out of the classroom to meet him, and the two braided pilots followed.
"Duet! Duo! You're alright!" Quatre exclaimed happily and held out his arms to the Washi Ookami's pilot. She clasped her arms around his neck, and they awkwardly made their way towards the others without separating.
"It's good to see you again, Heero," Relena smiled and curtsied. Heero only replied with a grunt before moving towards Quatre and Duet.
"You have to be more careful. You could have opened your wound. Let me see it," he said curtly, and Duet shook her head.
"I'm a big girl."
Wu Fei poked her in the side with his katana again, and she collapsed against the Arabian. "A big baby," he joked.
"Stop poking me with that!"
"Please! You're going to hurt her!" Quatre pleaded.
"Would you Gundam pilots like to come in for awhile?" Relena smiled sweetly.
"Yeah, Wu-man! She might just hafta whoop your ass like she did Heero's!" Duo laughed.
"Gundam pilots…"
"Can we please forget about that?" Heero sighed.
"Gundam pilots."
"...face it, Yuy… you're never going to hear the end of it until Maxwell is dead and gone…"
"Gundam pilots!" Relena cried finally and they all turned to look at her. " Would you all like to come in and relax a bit?"
"Yes m'am," the six replied, taking into accout her clenched fists and furrowed brow.

A/N: No matter how many times I use the phrase "Fan service!" correctly, the image of two female cosplayers dressed as Tamahome and another boy from Fushigi Yuugi making out on stage will always pop into my twisted little mind… I was on the east coast of the states this summer to translate for guests at either Otakon or the Big Apple Anime Fest, (can't remember) and we saw this ad for Shoujocon near where we were staying, so of course we go… My God, what a great two days! Hello, everyone from Shoujocon 2001!!! Remember the adorabe girl who made a great Duo!? She got up on stage and yelled "HHHEEEEEEERRRRRRROOOOOOOO!!!" like Relena and the crowd went wild! That was the highlight of my visit!!! I'm definitely going again next year!
