New Beginnings

Chapter 2: Salidia, Mother to Micheal

Heero yawned, and rolled to his side before the bedside alarm went off, causing him to fall out of bed. Heero reached desperately for the alarm, finally reaching it with his fingertips and shutting the thing off, only to have it fall to the floor. Heero rolled restlessly in the blankets, thinking how ironic it was he could stay up all night, yet when it came time to awaken the next morning, it seemed too impossible to manage. Getting up and stretching, Heero lazily made his way to the kitchen for some coffee. He stretched again allowing the sleek muscles to curve slowly before releasing the tension. Then Heero tried to remember what he had to do today, however without coffee in his system Heero came up with none.

Before he could figure this out, someone knocked on the door. Heero dragged his way to the front of the one- bedroom apartment to respond. Upon opening the door, he was greeted fondly by Shinigami, or Duo Maxwell. Heero responded with less enthusiasm, before turning to walk, (Somewhat like a zombie.), back to the kitchen for his favorite cup, of his favorite coffee, Michigan Black Cherry! (You could substitute Maxwell House if you'd like.) While asking Duo to had him the list of things to do on his fridge. It read this...

1. Clean the apartment top to bottom.

2. Do laundry.

3. Go grocery shopping for trip with guys to camp.

So that's what I'm doing today, Heero thought with wire amusement at himself. Heero looked up and grinned at Duo, and Duo grinned back. That is before Heero pulled out his favorite gun from the pajama bottoms he wore and chasing Duo away... Now to get back on schedule, he thought to himself taking a sip of coffee.

In the same colony Quatre sat in his office, dressed as usual from head to foot. However the designer room did not seem to quite fit the young boy. I thought I asked for sand colored paint. He thought. There was one more person who had to see him for the day. Oh what joy! To be stuck indoors, talking to another snot nosed banker, or, stockbroker... The whole time having to smile and nod politely! Good thing I decided to take a vacation... He thought to himself with a sigh of happiness.

The woman who was last on his list was currently walking, hoping that her secretary's uniform would be appropriate. With long, silky, dark, brown hair pinned neatly into a single bun in the back of her head. Her blue eyes looked wonderfully bright with happiness. She wore a navy blue, short skirt with the same business like top with gold buttons down it's front, she wore the same colored shoes, necklace, earrings, shoes, and even the purse matched. She smiled broadly making her already blushed cheeks seem brighter. She only stopped once; to glance at a scene outside a cluster of what appeared to be circus tents. A young lady with curly hair was chasing around a boy, who was promptly carrying a pot with a tree in it. He suddenly tripped, unharmed but the pot broke leaving the tree in an upheaval. While he continued fussing over the tree, the girl told him that he could not bring it back in, and left. After gazing around the boy placed his hand on the tree causing it to grow smaller and after he picked a seed off the ground and placed it in to his pocket. The woman was not at all shocked at seeing such a thing; she just giggled and moved on.

Quatre had dosed off waiting for the last person to arrive, small snores from him could be heard as a puddle of very ungentlemanly drool formed on his desk. He was wandering through the forest of green pine trees; a voice spoke to him from all around. He did not mind of course for you see this had happened on and off when he met the other pilots. Heero appeared in front, "Light", the voice said.

He faded and Duo took his place. "Fire, garden.",

Then Duo left him, Trowa appeared. "Tree."

Then the light shone on him, "Noble",

Then everything went dark and Quatre could see the stars, "She has come.", the voice said, "She has come.", this time it did not sound like the woman's voice but Rasheed's.

"Master Quatre wake up", Rasheed shook Quatre's body.

"Hmmm... Who's here?", Quatre mumbled tiredly.

"Salidia Wingfeather, Sir.", Rasheed made a gesture to the list of people for the afternoon.

Quatre finally snapped to full awareness, feeling ashamed of being caught sleeping like this... "Let her in.", Quatre said wiping the last bit of drool from his desk.

There entered the woman from before, dressed the same, except the outfit was white, not blue. "Please sit.", Quatre pointed towards the chair opposite himself.

"Well, look at you! Just like your mother!", Salidia remarked.

"You knew my mother?!", Quatre nearly screamed as he was squished by the woman's embrace.

"I was one of her friends.", Salidia remarked releasing her grasp, "Actually, that's why I'm here! To tell all of you the truth about your past!"

"Lady, I know my family's history inside, and out...."

"Oh, your father and his wanting a normal child he probably lied to you saying you were a test- tube baby or some shit.", Salidia interrupted., "Oh! I'm sorry, you were saying?"

Quatre just gawked at her, he had never in his life had someone interrupt him like that! This made things more interesting... "Uh, nothing... Nothing.",

"Well between us... You are not normal, not at all... You see your mother had special abilities. You have them too. It's magic...," her voice a soft whisper, "Magic."

"Magic!!!!", Quatre bellowed, "Rasheed! Take her out of here! NOW!!!!!!!!!!"

With a sweep of his hand all orders were obeyed, and Salidia was tossed out on her little tosh!

"Why I never in all my life!", she grumbled getting up.

Heero returned from the errands he had to run, to discover his door was just a little, tiny, hair open.... "Duo", the growl was evilly low in his throat.

(Ever wonder how he got in? Visa, it's everywhere YOU want to be!)

Heero slowly opened the door, with barely a whisper... There he sat, the BAKA! On Heero's couch, watching Heero's TV., eating Heero's food, in Heero's apartment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was the last straw! Heero pulled out a machinegun, and started chasing Duo around the room, the Wing Zero mad look in his blue eyes. Duo merrily dodged each bullet.

Salidia walked merrily up the stairs forgetting all about Christina's kid. She looked at the apartment door, which stood ajar. "Guess he's home.", she thought out loud. Quietly Salidia crept into the apartment, and only when she exclaimed, "My baby!!!!!!!", did the two look up.

She ran and suffocated Heero. "Who the hell's she?", Duo remarked.

"Oh, allow me to introduce myself!", Salidia remarked., "I am Salidia Wingfeather, mother to Micheal here.", She gestured to Heero who had so kindly passed out upon being released.

"You're.... His.... Mother!!!!!!", Duo said bursting out in laughter, so much that tears streamed his cheeks.
