"Hey! Mac! You in there?" someone yelled, pounding on the door. Mac woke
up.
"Yeah, one sec." She yelled. She threw a shirt on over her jeans and opened the door to see Sam standing there.
"Hi Mac." He said. Mac couldn't help it. She fell for him. He was wearing a pair of cut off's and a tight white T-shirt. 'I can't let him know. That would be awkward if he thought a boy was falling for him.' Mac thought.
"Hi Sam." Mac said.
"What took you so long to answer?" Sam asked.
"I was asleep." Mac said.
"Oh, well, want to check the place out?" Sam asked. Mac smiled.
"Sure, why not?" and they walked out.
"Hey, Duo, come here!" Sally said. Duo came over at a trot.
"Yes, o commander?" he asked, in a mocking way. Sally smiled.
"Apparently, someone here is your brother." Sally said. Duo's jaw hit ground level.
"I. have. a. brother?" Duo asked. Sally smiled.
"Apparently." Sally said. "It says that your brother was adopted awhile after you to a family with all boys." Sally handed Duo a folder. "Here, read this. It will tell you more. Right now I'll tell you, that he's 16."
"You mean, the teen. my brother." Duo trailed off. He went over to the couch and sat down reading. Sally smiled and went to tell the others.

I'm Duo Maxwell's brother. We were separated when he went to live with the Maxwell's. I went to live with the Robertson's. I inhabited with them for 10 years until I went to stay with some sponsors and then came here.
Duo read this from the folder that Sally gave him. He didn't know what to make of it. He had a brother. A 16-year-old brother. He has red hair, hazel eyes, and is almost as tall as Duo.
"Duo, I hear you have a brother." Heero said. Duo looked up.
"Yeah, from what I read, he's the teen in the group." Duo said, still in shock. "He must have some of me in him."
Heero shook his head. "If he did, he wouldn't have gotten here." Duo hit Heero with the folder. Heero smirked. "So, are you going to go meet him?"
Duo looked as if that idea had never occurred to him. "I guess so." Duo looked at the folder again. "But for right now, I want to finish reading on him. I think it's interesting that I don't remember him." Duo said.
"Well, maybe you just blocked it out." Heero suggested. Duo shrugged and Heero left.
"I remember a girl, but not a boy." Duo murmured.
"So, I guess this is where I'm going to spend most of my time." Sam said as they entered the pool area. "Do you swim?"
Mac shook her head. "No, I am afraid of the water." This was a lie of course. She loved the water and was a senior lifeguard at the pool at her old inhabitance. But, considering that she was a girl and no one knew that, and that was how it was going to stay, she couldn't go swimming.
"Oh. Well, maybe I could teach you." Sam said. Mac shook her head.
"No, I don't think so. The only water I like is in a glass." Mac said, bringing forth a laugh from Sam.
"Well, can't say I didn't try." Sam said. They walked out of the poolroom and on to the gym.
"This is my place." Mac said. She looked at all the equipment. She spotted fencing swords. She smiled. "Do you fence?" she asked Sam.
"Yeah, I'm pretty good too." Sam boasted. "Do you?"
Mac shrugged. "A little." She said. They suited up and behind the mask, Mac smiled evilly.
"On guard." She murmured. They started fencing and right away, Mac took the lead, but only by a little bit. She wasn't even trying. She remembered her trainers saying, 'Always attack. It's no good just to defend. You're only wearing yourself out, either your going to die by defend or might die by attacking. Always attack."
Mac did just that. She then pulled her favorite move. She did a half moon and brought her sword up before Sam could register and flung his sword out of the picture and was in kill position before Sam knew what hit him.
"You're a liar." Sam said. Mac backed up. She wasn't expecting that.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"You said you fenced a little. You couldn't have just started. You must have been fencing for years with the pros. You are better than me." Sam accused.
"Is that a compliment?" Mac asked.
"No." Sam said.
"Well, then are you bad?" she asked.
"No, I'm very, very good, but you are better and I don't like that." Sam said. Mac looked to see if he was serious, but his eyes were laughing.
"Well, get over it tough guy." Mac said, playing along. With that she walked out of the gym.and straight into Duo.
"Oh, sorry, ummm.sir. I didn't see you." Mac said, blushing. This was not the reunion she had been planning.
"Don't worry about it, Mac." Duo said. Mac looked up.
"How did you know my name?" she asked.
"I read about you in your folder." Duo said. Mac looked him in the eye.
"Do you believe me?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm just surprised." Duo said. "Let's go somewhere and talk." Duo led the way to an empty room and Mac followed. They both sat down.
"Mac, I know that you were only one or two, but do you remember a girl?" Duo asked. Mac looked down.
"No." she said quietly. She hated lying. She was good at it, and that was the worst part. Duo noticed that she wasn't looking at him, and that puzzled him.
"Well, so, from what your resume said, you obviously didn't like the people you were staying with." Duo said. Mac looked back up at him, grateful he let it go.
"Yes, I hated them. They were mean, and cruel." Mac said. Duo laughed.
"Are you saying that, or is it really true?" Duo asked.
"Both." Mac said. Duo smiled at her. "You see, they weren't mean, they just weren't nice. I think they were in it for the check. So, they had 4 boys and they were all older than me and so I had to hold my own. They would always try to leave me with the girls down the street, but I would run and catch up to them, even when they were on their bikes. I just didn't like them and they didn't like me. I asked if I could take lessons in martial arts and fencing. They were astonished that a g-" Mac gasped. She almost told Duo that she was a girl! "That a kid my age and type would want to."
Duo nodded. "So, that explains why you passed the test with flying colors." Mac nodded.
"I took to the arts right away and surpassed most people," Mac said.
"Aren't we modest," Duo said, smiling. Mac shrugged again.
"There is no use for modesty." She said. Duo laughed and clapped her on the shoulder.
"You and I are going to get along fine," Duo said as he got up. He and Mac walked out the door and Duo said, "You were going to be in my group, but we have to change that so the others don't think I'm babying you because you're my brother."
Mac nodded. "So who'll I be with?" she asked.
"I shouldn't tell you, but I will." Duo said. "You'll be with Heero. Good luck. He's tough."
Mac smiled evilly. Duo looked surprised to see his evil smile on his 'brother's' face. "I can handle it." Mac said. Duo had to smother a laugh and patted her on the shoulder.
"See ya later." Duo said, and turned and walked away. Mac stared after him.
"I have quite a brother." she muttered.
"He's your brother?" Sam asked, coming up behind her.
"God Sam! You scared me! Yes, he is." Mac said. Sam looked at her with wide eyes. "Yeah, he feels the same way."
"Wow, the ex-Shinigami is your brother. I never knew someone famous." Sam said.
Mac rolled her eyes. "First of all, I'm not famous. Second of all, the gundam pilots are famous, in a matter of speaking, so get used to it." With that, she turned around and walked away.
"Yeah, one sec." She yelled. She threw a shirt on over her jeans and opened the door to see Sam standing there.
"Hi Mac." He said. Mac couldn't help it. She fell for him. He was wearing a pair of cut off's and a tight white T-shirt. 'I can't let him know. That would be awkward if he thought a boy was falling for him.' Mac thought.
