La dee da...**takes a sip of her Clearly Canadian Strawberry Melon beverage out of a plastic champagne glass** I so deserve this relaxing time...I had exams today, Business and French. I also forgot to study for them --_--;; **watches her muses fly around in the air, chasing each other** But on a good note, I think I did Ok on the Business one, it wasn't as hard as I had been anticipating...but I think I bombed the French one. I tought myself Japanese in six months, and I can understand it better than I can understand French, which they have been attempting to teach my since grade four...

Chibi-Duo: **sticks his head up from the pillows, hair all frizzy** Not at all modest either.

Chibi-Quatre: **dive-bombs him into the pillow once more and bounces off, fluttering over to land on Angels' head** Hee hee....the Angel of Life makes another one miserable!!!

Chapter 7

The screen of the laptop cast eerie shadows on Heero Yuys' face as he typed away methodically. He had been trying, for over an hour, to hack into a new program he found hidden on an old Whitefang disk.

"baka thing!" He cursed as yet another error message came onto the screen, "Ok, override you…delete that…and…NO!!!" an error message popped up. Heero cursed and slammed his fist down on the table. "You're not being very cooperative..." he growled at his computer and put his head in his hands, trying to ward off the oncoming headache.

"Talking to your computer now?" asked Trowa as he passed Heeros' room. He stopped and leaned on the door way. "WuFei said something about a meeting soon. We should get a call to go over any time now." Trowa informed the frustrated Japanese boy. Just then, the phone rang.

Heero swung his chair around and answered it, "What the hell do you want?!?!?"

"Ya know most people answer the phone with a 'Hello' or a greeting like that." Came a cheery voice from the other end.

"I'm busy!" Heero yelled at Duo, "I found a file on an old Whitefang disk."

"Oh, well, I just thought I'd let you know that Wu-man has discovered some info." Duo stated, "There's a meeting over at my place in an hour. WuFei has some good information we all should hear before trying to rescue Relena."

Heero hung up on Duo and picked up his laptop. Unplugging it rapidly he stalked out the door.

"Not even a 'Good bye Duo'. What a guy." Duo said into the hung up phone.

"C'mon Reena, he gave you that key so you could use it!" said Lys from behind her stack of pancakes as she poured a generous amount of syrup over top of them. The girls had spent the night at Reenas' house and had prodded Jonas to make them breakfast. It had taken the better part of an hour but Lys had had fun flirting with the older boy.

"Hai, but Duo only gave me his house key for emergencies." Reena answered back from behind her modest stack of three chocolate-butterscotch chip pancakes. All the girls were still in their pajamas' and Reena had looked forward to either vegging out or going to the mall today, she didn't want to get Duo mad at her.

"Then he winked." Ami put in, who had just finished telling them about what had happened yesterday with her and Trowa. Lys was still a bit miffed at the idea of everyone but her having a boyfriend.

"Urusai!" Lys gave Ami an evil look.

Ami proceeded to pull down her eye lid and stick out her tongue."I have a boyfriend and you don't!" she stated. Lys threw a napkin at her but it landed in the middle of the table.

"Still Reena, Duo's probably missing his precious towel and he probably wants it back. We'll come over with you when you go to give it back to him." Lys said, shoving the last three pancakes into her mouth and smiling at the two girls.

Reena sighed and, seeing it was no use arguing with the head-strong girl, followed Lys and Ami upstairs into her room.

"Should we put our suits on?" asked Ami, "That way when we come back we can jump right into the pool."

"Sure, it's so hot out that we'll probably want to." Lys answered.

Reena walked out from behind the dressing screen she had in her room and earned disapproving looks from the other girls.

"What?" she asked.

"You aren't wearing that, are you?" Lys asked.

"What's wrong with it?" she looked down at her black jeans and purple t-shirt.

"It's not something I'd wear if I was going over to my boyfriends house for the first time." Lys said and threw her a white tank top.

"But," Ami added as Reena changed into the tank top, "Lys, you don't have a boyfriend."

"Urusai baka."

"You look great." Ami assured Reena as they walked out the door.

Lys was throwing random objects at Ami because of her earlier comments. Ami turned around to say something when a leaf landed in her mouth. She shot a death glare at Lys as her and Reena were trying to suppress their giggles. Ami spat out the leaf and jumped at Lys, who dodged and was chased down the street and in the general direction of Duo's house, Reena followed at a jog.

The girls were out of breath from their chase and Reena was just about to ring the doorbell when she heard voices inside.

"Well," a male voice she had never heard before was saying, "I remember hearing something about a base hidden in the Sahara desert."

"Sandrock can take that." She recognized Quatre's voice.

Lys motioned her on with the key and Reena shook her head and put her finger to her lips signaling the need for silence. She began to turn and walk away from the door when she felt a hand grab her and pull her towards the window. She turned to find Lys with a devilish look in her eyes, Reena sighed again and crouched down under the window with her and Ami.

"I don't like doing this." Reena whispered but Lys ignored her and poked her head over the windowsill. She crouched back down.

"Five guys." She said, "Quatre, Duo, Trowa, Heero and a Chinese guy."

"Relena is probably a hostage in that base." Heero said, Lys recognized his voice.

"Hai," the Unknown guy was speaking now, "I found this tape at one of the old bases that I searched with Nataku, it was addressed to all the pilots." Unknown guy finished and the girls heard the sound of someone slipping a tape into the VCR.

"Hello Gundam pilots." Said a voice Reena found very familiar, "I know that you five boys have probably found this tape and are now watching it to discover the whereabouts of Relena Darlian. Well, Heero Yuy, pilot of Wing Zero, if you would like to find her alive and also save Colony L1 you and your fellow Gundam pilots, Duo Maxwell, Quatre Raberba Winner, Trowa Barton and Chang WuFei, will come to our base and surrender your Gundams. Otherwise, your beloved Relena will be killed and Colony L1 will be destroyed. I invite you to try to solve this puzzle. You have until May 27th. Good day."

Reena gasped as she heard a multitude of opinions come from inside, "You know what that means?" she asked the two girls, they both nodded.

"Hai, they got a tape meant for someone else." Lys stated, Ami hit her on the back of the head.

"No! Those guys are the pilots of the Gundams!" Reena whispered loudly.

"OH MY GOD!!!!" screamed Lys, "THEY'RE THE ACTUAL GUNDAM PILOTS!?!?!?!?"

Reena and Ami tried to hush her but the front door to the house swung open and the three girls were face to face with a big gun, attached to a very pissed Heero.
