Disclaimers: Don't own em, so don't sue unless you want my collection of lint... wait, never mind, my dog just ate that... ^_~
A.N: Just in case anyone cares or wants to know, when I name my new characters, I always name them after the meaning of them. For example Caleb means "loyal and bold" while Reginald means "he who wants to be king" or "king". If you really want to know why my characters have the names they do, just go to a baby naming site where you can find the meanings of the names, k?? Well that answers a question, now to the REAL authors notes: Thank you all for reviewing, it boosts up my confidence and helps me to keep writing, and I promise that next chapter will have LOTS of action, tho this one does have some action in it and some more teasers of what's to come! So please keep reviewing so I can keep this story comin!! Thanks!!! ^.~

*A Few Days Later*
"Now here's the situation, apparently there is a new organization that is itching for a chance to overthrow Ms. Relena's rein of the Sank Kingdom and kick our buddy Heero's butt all the way across the colonies..." Duo explained to the other Gundam pilots that were sitting the table. Leaning on the table with both hands, Duo examined each of their faces. They had all come to Quatre's colony to talk about the recent developments and were now sitting in his office, surrounded by pictures of the 5 of them and a few of Quatre's kids.
"But what can we do Duo? We're not supposed to have our gundams, let alone use them," Quatre asked, bringing back Duo to the conversation while glancing to his right. Trowa nodded and cleared his throat.
"Quatre's right, but there's always more than one way to beat these guys."
"Which is why defense in this situation is the best offensive," Wufei interjected, leaning his back against the chair and tipping it thoughtfully. "We can't attack them without putting us into the position's of the 'bad guys'. So what we have to do..."
"Is find another way to kick these guys butts!" Duo finished, taking his hands off the table and rubbing them together with a foolish grin on his face.
"But Duo, isn't Hilde about to have your baby? You just can't leave her here alone." Duo sighed and ran a hand through his hair, looking at Quatre with a pained look.
"I know that Quatre, but YOU'RE gonna protect her along with Dorothy and your kids."
"I am?"
Duo sighed again scratched the back of his head. "Well yeah, out of all of us, you're the one that can get into the most trouble vanishing, with your company and being leader of your colony and all... The rest of us won't be as missed as you would be."
"But you guys will need my help!" Quatre exclaimed, pushing back his chair and standing up. "You all can't do it by you're selves! You'll need my help to..."
"Keep an eye on things."
Quatre turned and focused hurtful eyes on the speaker. "Wufei?"
Pushing himself out of the chair, Wufei walked over to stand in front of Quatre, a hint of a frown on his face.
"We already don't know much anything at the moment and we don't need any one to become suspicious while we go under cover. You're the only one that can keep this quiet and hopefully get us some information without being discovered."
"Wufei...." Quatre whispered, saddened and shocked. Wufei ignored him and turned back to look at Duo.
"Where's Heero?"
Duo grin diminished a bit. "Well there have been a couple attempts on Relena and the kids life since the word of the organization started really going around, he's keeping an eye on them."
"How many?" Trowa asked, looking up at Duo with his one visible green eye. Duo's shoulders slumped.
"Five."
"Five? In just the times span of two days?" Quatre asked, his eyes wide.
"Sorta, there has been a few before that but none as serious or as accurate as these. Someone really wants her and Heero's kid dead."
"Fine, then I'll look after Heero's kid and you can stick close to Relena, Duo," Trowa announced, rising gracefully from his seat. Duo grinned and gave him a thumbs up.
"Yeah, Heero and I can handle anything. You just make sure the kid doesn't get hurt, otherwise Heero'll..." Duo ran a finger across his neck and make a gurgling sound. Trowa just nodded.
"Fine, then I'll join the new organization and find out who the leader is and what they're weaknesses are," called Wufei as he walked out the door, grabbing his preventor coat from the back of his chair. Duo grinned as wide as he could and waved.
"Good luck Wu-man! Keep in touch and let us know if you find out anything!" Wufei's back stiffened making Duo laugh.
"Hmph, weaklings!"
Quatre cracked a tight smile as Duo laughed. Turning his head, Duo looked at Trowa and clapped his hands together.
"So, shall we get to earth, Trowa my man?"
Trowa nodded and also grabbed his coat from his chair. "Yeah, lets go."
"Cool. See ya later Quatre, look after Hilde for me and tell me when she's about to have the kid. I'll come as soon as I can. Later!" Waving, Duo and Trowa walked out of the room, the door closing with a whoosh behind them. Quatre stood a minute staring at the door before sighing and wiping his eyes lightly.
"Be safe my friends, may Allah protect you..." Quatre smiled slightly and sighed again before walking out the door in a whoosh of air, his words echoing off the walls.
The video camera in the room recorded it all.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
On earth, the 2nd in command smiled and watched the video of they're discussion. Her smile widened when they got to they're plans.
[Fools! Do they think they can do anything without me knowing?] She laughed maniacally and twirled her chair in a circle, kicking her legs happily and holding her stomach.
"Those idiots! Don't they know anything?" She stilled her laughing as an idea formed in her mind and her smile turned into a smirk.
"They want to play a game huh? Well that's fine, I like games... especially life and death ones..." She widened her smirk as far as it would go and pressed a button in front of her. Not a minute passed before the door opened behind her, light flooding into the room and creating the shadows of her chair and the man in the doorway. The woman watched as the figure made a stiff bow and hit his chest with his fist.
"My lady?"
"The Gundam pilots are planning to have pilot 04 infiltrate our military unit and protect Ms. Relena and 01's kid from us."
"I shall make sure neither happens, my lady, they..."
"On the contrary my good man, I WANT them to do this, I want them to loose in every possible way. Don't let up on the security nor stop the attacks on Ms. Relena and her child. In fact, heighten the security and attack Relena double, just for fun. Don't make it easy for them, it wouldn't be fun otherwise! Oh... and bring 01 to me, we need to have a chat."
"Are you sure, my lady? Does the commander..."
"The COMMANDER has allowed me to make the final decisions while he is indisposed... Are you going to do as I tell you, or do I need to find someone more... competent?"
The woman made a satisfied sound as the soldier's shadow shook his head and bowed again. "No my lady, I will do as you bid."
"Good, you are dismissed."
"Yes my lady," the soldier said, backing out of the room still bowing. A second passed and the door closed behind him, again shutting the room in complete darkness. The woman listened to the soldiers foot steps walk away before allowing herself to lean back in her chair, her gray blue eyes twinkling.
She was a genius, and a excellent player of all types of games, she would win this no problem. Her white teeth flashed into the darkness as she raised a hand to cover her laughter.
"Fools!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Why does she have to visit? I thought I'd get a little time before I had to deal with her again," Relena moaned, and ran a hand through her hair quickly before focusing back on what she had been doing.
Relena sighed to herself and continued dressing Caleb who was delighting in squirming all over the place. Relena allowed a smile to soften her features and leaned her head over his and rubbed her nose against his forehead lightly. Caleb's joyous giggles had her giggling in a few minutes, and Relena found herself leaning down and kissing his nose then his cheeks, her hands tickling his fat little stomach. Caleb squirmed underneath her gentle hands and soft kisses, his squealing laughter telling her how much he was enjoying this.
[I could always get Heero to crack a grin by tickling him] Relena thought, finally ending her teasing and placing one last kiss on his forehead before buttoning up the last button on his stormy blue shirt. [Like father like son, I guess] Relena brushed a few tears from her eyes and lifted Caleb from the changing table. Caleb immediately calmed down and rested his head on her shoulder, his thumb in his mouth. Eyes so much like Heero's that it was scary sometimes, closed slowly and his breathing evened, telling Relena he had fallen asleep.
Relena felt her mouth set itself in a gentle smile, and momentarily she forgot about Reginald's bratty widowed sister and his dumb as a brick niece coming to visit. Oh how she disliked Reginald's sister! The woman could only find bad things about Relena, they're house, and Caleb. Relena had yet to hear a complimentary thing come from the vile woman's mouth.
In fact she reminded Relena of the stories about the ice queen, an evil woman that was as beautiful as the gods and goddess, but horrible in the inside, never content and always cruel. The ice queen, in the legends, was always trying to find a way for her daughter, the ice princess, to take over the central kingdom and rule. Thankfully a prince, with hair as dark as night but with eyes as true as the bluest blue, rode up and slayed the queen and princess with his glowing sword. The knight married the good princess of the central kingdom and both lived happily ever after, never fearing the ice queen and her evil daughter again.
[Don't I wish!] Relena frowned, and checked herself in the mirror once again. She wasn't in the mood to hear any of Reginald's sisters insults today. [If only there was someone who could slay that woman, the world would be happier]
Relena almost laughed out loud. So much for being a peace-loving pacifist! Relena jerked as the door to her room opened, waking Caleb from his sleep. Shushing his cries, she glared at Reginald.
"Now look what you did, you woke him up!" Relena whispered exasperated, trying to calm down Caleb. You would think living with the kid for 9 months would have been enough to get it through his head that you don't just slam the door open! After a few sniffles, Caleb also turned to glare at his step father. Reginald just shrugged but slightly growled at Relena.
"Sorry, but you were supposed to be downstairs ten minutes ago."
"I was changing Caleb." She never called Caleb his son, always Caleb, nothing else. It irked Reginald to no end.
"Well since he is dressed now, can we get downstairs? My sister and niece are waiting." Relena frowned and switched arms holding Caleb, ignoring the outstretched arms of Reginald. No way was he holding Caleb, last time he did he dropped Caleb!
"I was just about to. Come on Sweety, lets go see your... aunty and cousin, hmm?" Relena cooed at him, managing to bring a smile to her son's face. Reginald followed them out the door, frowning but not saying anything.
Relena began to descend the stairs to the parlor when she spotted Reginald's sister sitting on the couch Relena had told her a dozen times NOT to sit on. Next to her sat her over weight daughter, sharing her mothers bright blond hair and selfish grayish blue eyes. Relena stiffened her back, and nodded at Reginald's sister.
"Casondra," Relena turned her gaze to her 'niece'. "Cassandra, how are you?"
Cassandra, or Cassie, frowned and stuck her tongue out at Relena. Relena, ignoring the bratty behavior, returned her gaze to Casondra, and nodded her head.
"I see you are feeling better, sister?"
Casondra sniffed and glared at Relena. "As well as may be expected after eating that poison you gave me, Relena. Really, you should be a better cook, you being the Peacecraft female and all."
Relena opened her mouth to respond, but a firm hand clamping painfully on her shoulder stopped her. Relena snapped her mouth shut and tried to cool her temper. [Ice queen remember? She's just the ice queen, Relena, she can't hurt you. All hot air... or cold air in this case]
"I will have to try *harder*, sister." [Yeah, harder to poison you, you witch!]
Casondra smiled and waved a hand under her nose. "I hope so dear, now be a good host and get me a drink, I'm absolutely parched!"
Relena smiled tightly and took a deep breath, calming herself.
"All right," she said, her voice strained as she walked down the stairs.
This day was turning out sooooooooo well.
[Yeah right!]
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero felt himself becoming outraged as Casondra spoke, his face still painfully vacant of expression. He didn't need his face to tell what he was feeling though, he already knew. And if it wasn't for the tree he was hiding in blocking a good shot, he would have taken out his 360 silencer and blown her head in. That would shut her up and make him feel better no doubt...
A crack behind him warned him an instant too late before someone bashed his head with a stout tree branch.
[Damn it! I needed to stop being so distracted...] Heero thought as the hit to his head knocked him out of the tree.
It should have been easy for him to land that fall, he fallen from higher before, but his mind was spinning and the cut on the back of his head wasn't making matters any better. Head pounding Heero had a glimpse of the roots of the tree and the ground a second before he crashed head first into them.
Blackness and laughter.
Lots of laughter.
