Hello faithful views!!!

: Chirp:  :Chirp:

Uhh…hello? Where'd everyone go?!

Anyway…thanks to the help of Wepo for the brilliance of this chapter and the next belong to her and her alone. So thank her, not me. And thank you to both Diva and Wepo for reviewing my last chapter and for not letting me give up on this story.

Disclaimer: As always, I don't own any of the Gundam Wing characters and Althea is mine.

Well that is pretty much it, so read and enjoy. Oh…don't forget to review too!

To Heal and to Love

Duo was searching through some Oz files in an attempt to find Quatre. Quatre had gone on a simple info mission and hadn't returned. All the pilots were worried in their own strange ways. Duo had locked himself inside his room for the past week and had done nothing except searched Oz's Data Banks for any prisoner descriptions that matched Quatre. So far he came up empty, but Duo was hardly discouraged. When Duo was determined to do something nothing short of an act of God would stop him, and right now…he was determined to find Quatre. While going through yet another prisoner personnel file his mailbox lit up and exploded, indicating that he had received and email from someone. Duo was tempted to ignore it but his annoying conscience told him that it could be important. Sighing, he clicked on it. A window popped up saying, ' you have mail from DesertNoble@hotmail.com (not a real email address)'

Duo almost fell out of his chair.

'Quatre! That's Quatre's email address.'

Duo clicked on it and read the message on the screen.

            'Dear Duo,

            Yes it is Quatre. I'm sorry for not contacting you sooner but I was indisposed. I am currently residing in a safe house. I am well and shall be returning in a month or two. Please inform the others of this as to not to worry them any further. I shall see you all soon, take care my friends.

            Sincerely Yours,

                                    Quatre'

Duo blinked a couple times and reread the message to make sure he had read it correctly. After realizing that he was indeed awake and the message was quite real, Duo sat back in thought.

'Why did it take Q-man so long to contact me? Where has he been for the past week? What safe house is he staying at and why isn't he coming back immediately?'

Duo frowned and then shrugged. He was too tired to care about the answers and he trusted Quatre enough to know that he would never lie to his friends. Duo forwarded the email to the others before crawling out of his chair and into bed. Just before he fell asleep Duo wondered what prank he was going to pull on Wufei tomorrow. Duo fell asleep with a mischievous smile on his face as evidence to his devious plan he had cooked up in that twisted mind of his (It may be twisted but I wouldn't mind occupying it for a while!).

Well that is my chapter and I hope that you all like it. I know that it is short but the next chapter will be much longer I promise. I'm in the middle of writing it so it won't take too long hopefully. I just need to consult my muse Wepo on certain things. Well review and flame if you like.
