"Knock" "Knock"

Heero fell out of his bed.

"Who is it this time!?"

There was no cough, but a soft, confident reply.

"Trowa."

Heero sat up curiously.

"What ar-"

"And Wu Fei."

Duo fell out of his chair. Quatre bounced to the door and opened it.

"Trowa!"

Trowa startled.

"…Quatre? You're not supposed to be-"

"-He came to help me."

Duo came to stand behind the little pilot of 04. An arm resting above their heads in the doorway.

Wufei pushed his way past all of them and sat down in front of Heero, straight down to business.

"We have a mission."

Duo and Quatre turned towards him. Trowa glanced down to the hardwood floor.

Wufei continued,

"This mission will be the hardest we've even had to do. I can't guarantee that any of us will survive. Quatre…"

The Chinese boy averted his gaze when he mention the small neo-Arabian. Quatre tensed.

"The reason we didn't call you is because Trowa didn't want you to come…"

Quatre looked up at Trowa, hurt shone in his turquoise eyes. Trowa wouldn't look at him.

"This might well be out last mission ever…"

Duo looked from pilot to pilot, then anxiously back Wu Fei.

"Spit it out already, damn you!"

Wu Fei glanced guiltily up at him, obviously more than a bit frightened to reveal the mission objective.

Trowa suddenly smashed his fist into the doorway, Quatre jumped. (As did Duo and Heero!)

"We…We are to disguise ourselves as girl students and break into the all women's high school next door…And steal the dean's…ruffly, pink silk panties…"

Duo, Quatre, and Heero all fell over.

"The scientists agreed to the OZ dare at a Star Trek convention last night…This is TOTAL INJUSTICE!!!…But I will not refuse my orders…"

Wu Fei broke into tears and Heero patted him reassuringly on the back, staring at Trowa.

"Sure, try and weasel Quatre out it!"

Trowa already had a grateful weeping Quatre in his arms. He stuck his tongue out at Heero and pulled the small pilot closer, smoothing back the boy's soft, pale hair.

"Well…I guess this means I don't have to finish my homework! This could even be fun!"

Duo giggled and leapt at his partner. Heero's eyebrow twitched as he readied himself catch the scary, braided student. Wu fei wouldn't stop crying…
