The Cafe Beacher [1] on Goode drive was a small classy place, though it didn't scream of money like some of the places Quatre and Relena often had the group meet in. Then again, Heero didn't quite feel like walking into one of those places with his current mood, and he had learned his lesson the last time they had met at a Fancy ballroom near by when Duo was his usual hyper self. 'Bad memory...' Heero thought to himself, a shiver running down his spine which was of course not visible at any extent.
The pilots, along with Sally, Noin, and Relena, had pulled up an extra table to the back booth they had grabbed, and now everyone sat in their respective spots. Noin was hunched over a coffee, not her usual decafe either, in the far corner of the booth, with Relena next to her, and Sally across. Trowa sat next to Sally and Quatre next to him. Heero had been forced next to Relena, who was clinging to his arm and sobbing over where her brother could have been taken [2], and Heero almost turned to Duo for help if the braided pilot was not blabbing on and on about something to Wufei.
The Chinese pilot, who had taken a seat on the end of the table, looked very bored.
Heero looked over to Noin, watching the girlfriend of his former enemy and rival as she shivered, barely listening to the reassuring words Sally and Quatre were telling her. He felt a stab of pity, cursing Relena for managing to bring out some emotion out of him during the war. He needed to think, and his sense of pity, a completely new emotion to him, was not helping. "May I see the note?" He asked Relena, and Duo became interested at those words, sparing Wufei from torture as he leaned over Heero to see the note Sally had just passed him.
He looked over to Noin before holding the note out for Duo to read. "We have taken 06 into our custody...telling by that, there's more than one person, and one was a former police officer or soldier...For his return, we need the former gundam pilots to bring us...." Duo gasped, leading off as he stared at the piece of paper like it had burst into flame before his eyes.
Heero frowned, his eyebrows knitting together as he took the note from Duo. "We need the former gundam pilots to bring us Neochi Yuy."
No one said anything for a moment, as the five former pilots looked back and forth from each other, silent messages that they all knew whom this was [3]. "Well..." Duo broke the silence at last, as the girls stared at the pilots in confusion, "Looks like we'll be giving our new classmate a visit, huh?"

Neochi gently placed a few outfits in her black suitcase, Chucky watching her pathetically from his place on the end of her bed, meowing from time to time as though to beg her not to leave. She grinned, scratching him behind the ears on her way to the dresser, and he swapped at her fleeing hand as she turned to pull out a pair of blue jeans. She grinned at him, pushing back a few strands of copper hair that had fallen from her ponytail, kissing his forehead before returning to her work.
She was planning a trip to the colony cluster of L4, as she did every year on this date. It was a special time for her, and she had never abandoned this tradition, nor did she plan too. And this year, she was to receive something new along with the experience. Something that would change her life forever.
Her laptop blinked from its place on her desk, and she walked over to it with Chucky in her arms. She set the cat down on the chair as she read the message over and over again, eyes narrowing in anger as she realized its meaning. She was an expert hacker, but she also knew she was not the only one on this colony. 'Pilot 01 will be on your flight to L4 tomorrow.' She growled briefly before switching off her laptop and returning to her packing.
"So they know." She whispered to herself, jaws clenched as she sealed the bag. "Very well......Mr. Heero Yuy, prepare yourself. I am not an advisory to be taken lightly."[4]

A/N-What do I have to say......The third chapter! Thanks for those who reviewed, and I will be reading the stories you wanted me too...just know I don't review under Andia because FF.net acts up each time I do, but I promise I will review. For those who haven't reviewed, what do you think? Yes, the chapters will get longer and more interesting; I'm just really bad with beginnings!
[1]- Taken from the name of one of my dad's companies, known as Beecher. I don't own it, but I know who does. :b
[2]- Does this sound like a Relena bash? I don't mean it too be!! She's not my favorite char to say the least, but still....
[3]- I hadn't added this scene, too lazy (sorry!), but let us assume Quatre and Trowa told Heero, Duo and Wufei about meeting Neochi.
[4]- Wow, she was angry...I didn't know any other way to display this. Now, I know why she's angry, but do you?
