Oh yeah, I owe an apology to a girl in my class at school called Wing Chi. I needed a Chinese girl's name and hers was the first that came to mind. No offense was meant in any way by the using of her name.
Warnings: I've only ever seen the first seven episodes of Gundam Wing. They're the only ones I have access to =( Most of this is either guesswork, or info I've picked up from a couple of friends who've seen the whole series *cough*D. D. Duley and Nanashi*cough* or by reading fanfic. Tell me if I get something wrong, and I'll rewrite if I can ;-) On a more general note, though; 1+2, everyone else is straight... we assume... though who knows what'll happen with the kids? Weelll... hmm... nah, I'll let you guess/find out for yourselves. Besides, this section is far too long.
Disclaimer: Don't own it. Own the big Duo poster, the broken Deathscythe model *sobs* and the grandchildren, though.
Uh... everyone's on Earth, for reasons which will become obvious as the story unfolds.
Chapter One; Prologue
"America!"
"Japan!"
"America!"
"Japan!"
"I thought this was meant to be our holiday,"
Jason said pointedly. At the other end of the table, the two grey-haired
men looked up in mild surprise.
"Jason's right," Castor said, scurrying to his brother's
defense. "We've come all the way from space just this once..." he trailed
off. Both men were staring at him, or rather past him. Turning, the boys
looked out of the window, only to see...
"Oh, wow," Jason said sarcastically, "the
mailman. Such a thrill!"
"He doesn't normally come here," Heero said calmly.
"Yeah, we don't get much mail." Duo paused. "Maybe
someone's died." He perked up a little at this. "Maybe Relena's died!"
"Maybe it's the electricity bill," Jason
said.
"People on a mission of ultimate importance don't
pay electricity bills," his brother reminded him. "Right, Grandad?"
"Right," Duo and Heero said together.
"Speaking of which, we're due for a holiday," Duo
added. "And I say America!"
"Japan!"
"America!"
"Japan!"
"AmericaAmericaAmerica!"
"Japan!"
"AmericaAmericaAmericaAmerica!"
"Japan!" A solitary letter landed on the mat with
a soft flump, and Jason picked it up and opened it.
"AmericaAmericaAmericaAmericaAmerica...."
"How about Arabia?" Castor said, reading over Jason's
shoulder. His grandfathers stopped in mid-argument, Duo's mouth still open
from the last `America`.
"Why'd we want to go there?" He asked abruptly.
"Castor! It's probably a trap!"
"Oh yeah..." looking a little sheepish, Castor poured
himself another glass of orange juice.
"What's probably a trap?" Heero asked, suddenly
alert. Jason shrugged.
"Oh, some guy called Q-something-something-Winner
wants you two to go to Arabia for some..." he squinted at the paper, "uh...
raffle? Looks like some kind of scam to me, Cast..."
"Gimme that." Duo snatched the letter and read it
through quickly, before his face broke into a wide smile and he turned
to Heero. "It's from Quatre. He wants us all to meet up at his mansion
for a reunion, and he said if we've got grandchildren to bring them along
because his... er... I think it's grandson is getting bored." He
paused to let this sink it. "What do you say, Hee-chan? Can we go? Pleeeeease?"
"Hn."
"YAAAAAAAAAY!"
"Hah! Now who says girls are weak?"
"Uhhhhh....."
"C'mon, say it!"
"G...g-g-g..."
"G-g-girls..."
"G-g-g-girls are..."
"Aren't..."
"Aren't..."
"We---?"
"Weak! There, I've said it. Can I get up now?"
"Sure." From somewhere behind her, Wing Chi heard a door open. Uh-oh...
"Just don't forget it!" She yelled behind her as she legged it down the street, vaguely aware that, after all the training she'd done, her grandfather was still catching her up...
"Honestly, I don't know what they've been teaching
you..."
"They've been teaching me how to be responsible
and how to defend myself."
"Self-defense yes, but you were on the offensive!"
"He started it!"
"That's not what I saw from the window."
"Then you need glasses."
"IIIIIIIIIINJUUUUUUUUUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!" It was at
this moment that an envelope landed on the doorstep. Wing Chi picked it
up, saw that the writing was in English and put it back down. She could
speak the language, but her reading and writing of it was appalling. "What's
that?" Her grandfather asked suddenly.
"A letter. In English. Good luck."
"Just because I haven't spoken the language in years
doesn't mean I can't read it! Now, lessee..." Wing Chi made her escape
while her grandfather was futilely attempting to recover some dregs of
the English language from his memory.
Author's note: Well, if you can't work out who all the unnamed grandfathers are, you've seen even less Gundam Wing than I have ;-) Quatre and grandson will make an appearance in the next chapter... but will Wufei get there? Did Heero actually consent? And will Trowa explain what's happening to his granddaughter? All will be revealed...
