Disclaimer: Why do I have to write these things? I obviously don't own Gundam Wing (I wish I did though), pigs will fly the day I get that much money. The other stuff is what I made up though (please don't hijack it).

A.N.: I knew it was a bad idea to put this up ^^'. And this is the "2nd chapter" even though it's really meant to be the first 'cos I was stupid and put the "1" on the prologue. ^^'.

2. The Arrival

"We have a new recruit. She's arriving today. We'll have one of the girls show her around," Quatre commented as he looked at the notices at breakfast. He smiled as he looked at her name, "Dyad Mantrell. 'Dyad' and 'duo' both mean 'two'."

"Where is Duo anyway," Trowa asked.

"No idea," Quatre replied.

When Duo woke up it was nearly 10. He glanced at his clock before leaping out of bed.

"Shit!"

He rushed down to the mess hall. Bursting into the nearly empty mess hall, he seized a plate and started loading it.

"This is the mess hall," a female voice said.

The door opened. Duo looked up with his mouth stuffed full and stared. It was the dancer from the pub dressed in the military uniform with her brown hair pulled back in a tight ponytail. Now that he could see her closer up, he was sure he'd seen her somewhere before and not just at the pub as a dancer.

Her cobalt blue eyes took in the entire room before resting on him.

Duo looked away. He felt himself go red.

"Oh! Captain Maxwell, sir. I didn't know that…"

She coughed to hide a laugh.

"This is the new recruit, Dyad Mantrell."

"Does the mess hall here usually contain half naked men dressed in boxers?"

Duo was sure he could have cooked an egg on his face.

"Um," Dyad's guide suppressed a giggle. "Let's go check out the training facilities."

A.N.: Another short chapter ^^'. Is my stuff really that bad ^^'?
