Chapter Six:

To tell the truth, I felt totally awful at the moment. Drea was happily walking between her mom and dad, and I was struggling to keep up with the three of them. I didn't like this world much either; everyone here was so much more cold, it seemed to me. I felt even worse when we walked through the dark hallways of the preventer's base and everyone kept looking at me with this strange glance.

When we finally reached the room where the meeting would be held, I was about ready to break down and cry. But I didn't; my dad wouldn't want me to, so I refused to let myself. Everyone in the room looked between me and my other self with confused looks until this Relena explained all that had happened and all that they had discovered so far. People seemed to accept her theory but they continued to look at me strangely; I didn't like that; I wished they would just keep their eyes to themselves.

"So did you call this meeting to try and figure this thing out?" Quatre asked.

"Well, I actually had this meeting for other reasons but now it seems that this may be an important thing to bring up now. There doesn't seem to be any sort of threat from this but it still doesn't seem very good."

Relena paused to look at us before shaking her head and continuing, "I can't begin to imagine how they were able to switch worlds. I will be reporting this to some of our head scientists here; I'm hoping they will be able to come up with better theories than I could."

"So than what should we be discussing here about the matter?" Lady Ann questioned.

"I was thinking some of you should go to the locations where they switched worlds and see what you can find out there; check to see if everything is safe there." Relena answered and looked back at my "twin" and me. She seemed to sigh and then looked back to her friends. "If there's nothing else anyone wishes to bring up on this subject, than I would still like to get on with our regular meeting." When no one said anything she nodded and pulled out a folder from her briefcase.

"Hold on a moment," Lady Ann said, "these two cannot be present for this meeting."

Relena paused and looked at the two or us again before nodding, "I suppose you're right. Sorry, you two, but could you please wait in the cafeteria? I'm sure they will let you eat anything you ask them for there."

Drea nodded and seemed fine about it; she took my hand and led my out of there. I wasn't very reluctant, either. This was especially because I couldn't wait to get all of those eyes off me.

"It's strange," I started saying to break the silence, "they all look so much like the people I know and yet something about them is so different."

Drea turned to me and nodded, "I know exactly what you mean. I felt the same way when I was in your world, or wherever it was. You know what, though?"

"What?"

"You have to learn to control Hilde's kids!" When she said that I immediately broke up laughing.

"No, I'm serious!" She continued, "I threatened to kill them and they only turned it into a game!" When I only continued to laugh, she shook her head and grabbed my hand again. "Come on, I've got something to show you here!"

"What?" I asked as she opened a door that led into a dark room.

"It's this really neat place I found one time when I decided to explore this place!"

"Aren't we s'pose to be going to the cafeteria? Your mom said we could get anything we wanted there."

Drea sighed and said, "Don't be chicken! Come on in, this is more fun than cafeteria food!"

"I'm not a chicken!" I protested as she continued to drag me further into the depths of that dark hallway.

"You won't believe-"

Drea was cut off from what she was about to say when a suspicious scene caught our eyes; a strange group of people dressed in black were sneaking down on ropes with flashlights in their hands. They spotted as a second after we spotted them and they almost immediately had guns in their hands. Drea and I gasped simultaneously.

One of the people dressed in black spoke, "Isn't that the Yuy kid in front of us? The one we were sent to kidnap?"

Another one answered, "That's definitely what it looks like to me! How convenient!"

A third one added, "But who's the second kid? You don't suppose it's one of the other Gundam pilot's kids, do you?"

Throughout this whole dialogue Drea and I stood glued to our spots with fear. The first person to speak shined a flashlight in our faces and we squinted from the blinding light.

He said, "It can't be! Those two look almost exactly the same. I didn't realize there were twin Yuy children."

"Who cares!" A different person yelled in a whispery voice, "Just grab them both and get out of here before we're caught! We've been extremely lucky so far, let's not ruin it."

They all nodded and slowly walked forward to us with guns pointed right at us. Neither of us seemed to know what to do; we both slowly back up as they slowly walked up towards us.

"Stop moving…and don't yell," One of the people in black said, "Unless you want your head blown up with one of our guns!"

We did just as they said and continued to do so as they picked us up and tied us in one big bag together, their guns still poking towards us. I was terrified; I wished to go home, but that didn't seem very likely at the moment. Why could this have just never happened?

A wailing noise broke my train of thought; an alarm had gone off and cursing spilled out from our captors' mouths. After that happened, our trip in the bag became quite bumpy and painful. We couldn't see what was going on and therefore were even more terrified as we were rushed out of one of the few places where we were safe, or should have been safe, for that matter.

Soon fresh air was reaching our nostrils and the temperature dropped. That was quite nice, actually, considering we were starting to get extremely hot in the bag together. We were then tossed into the back of what we figured was a truck and were sped away from the Preventers Base.

Now that we were on solid ground—somewhat solid, the ground kept bumping up and down beneath us—we found a way to worm our way out of that smelly bag. It didn't make a difference though; we were still trapped in the back of the truck with nowhere to go.

"Hah, look at that!" One of our captors said as he took his mask of his head, "They were able to make it out of that bag!"

"How cute, too bad they're still trapped back there." Someone else said and looked through the window looking from the front of the truck to the back. He grinned wickedly and started chuckling, "Do you suppose we can do anything to them? You know, like torture them or something?"

"Shut up, idiot," A woman's voice chimed in from somewhere in the front of the truck, "We're just kidnapping them to advance us in this war, we don't need to torture the poor things."

"Oh, so you're on their side, Melanie?" The person who suggested the torturing said.

"I never said that," Melanie argued, "But I am human, and so are you. Please try to remember that next time."

"Ouch, Lanie, that hurt! I am quite human. Hey, after we finish with this, you can join me for a drink and I'll show you just how human I am!" The same person added with hints of sarcasm.

"Please, Drake, I'd rather spend my time doing something I like." Melanie said with a bored tone in her voice.

"Like what?"

"Well, pretty much anything else, I guess."

"Would you guys be quiet?" A new voice said from somewhere in the front of the van, "We don't want these girls to find out anything about us! They already know to of your names now."

"Oh, please, and how is that a threat?" Drake said turning to look at us again. He smiled a wicked grin again and threw some sort of food at us. It didn't hurt too much but it was still very mean. I felt even closer to tears than before.

"I said to leave those girls alone. Now turn around and be quiet; the less I hear from your mouth the more enjoyable this ride will be." Melanie said and moved into the view of the window to look at us.

"Say," She said to no one in particular, "Could I take these kids to my place? They're pretty cute and I've always wanted some kids to look after."

The first voice to speak before then joined in the conversation saying, "I hope you're not getting soft on us now, Lanie, this is going to be the hard part; to get us to come out on top on this war by getting Yuy to give up his Gundam."

"Augh, didn't I tell you guys to not spoil anything to them? Now they know our plan!" The voice that warned the group before said.

"Relax, Alex, they're not going to be telling anyone this before it already gets known to the Gundam pilots." Drake said and turned to grin at us again. "Yep, I hope you two come to like us 'cause we'll be seeing a lot of each other now!"

Drea seemed to have had enough of this because her first started shaking and she got up from her seat to yell, "You people will never get away with this!!! My daddy is going to rescue me and then you'll be very sorry you ever even had the idea to come and kidnap us!"

"Oh, I'm shaking!" Drake said sarcastically, "Your annoying father won't be able to find you, and even if he does, he won't be able to rescue you!" He turned back away from the window muttering something about, "Little brats".

Drea sighed and sat back down; she seemed disappointed and hopeless. I decided I should probably try to cheer her up, "Don't you worry! I'm sure someone will rescue us, despite what these mean people say! Now don't lose hope, O.K.?"

She smiled up at me and nodded, "Thanks, and you're right. Now let's both be strong, O.K.?"

"O.K.!"

"Hey, we're here!" Alex yelled as the truck rolled to stop, "Now blindfold those kids or something 'cause we don't want them to know where we took them to."

"Really, man…" Drake rolled his eyes and got out of the car. A few moments later he reappeared as he opened the doors in the back of the truck and entered with a gun and a wooden beam in his hand.

"Nighty-night, kiddies." He said as he swung the wooden beam and knocked us both out cold in one hit. My world—this world—seemed to swirl around me before darkness filled my vision and I lost all consciousness.
