Okay, I kind of feel like this is winding down. Does anyone else feel like that? Well, I'm hoping to make this a little longer, but if things don't turn out that way, it's alright. Anyone guessed who did what yet? Maybe not, because you don't have enough info. This chapter might be short or it might not. It all depends on how it turns out. BTW, This is Chapter 7.

Lita opened her eyes and was staring into the deep blue pools that were Quatre's eyes. She just stared into his eyes for a moment, taking in all of their splendor. Then she smiled and buried her face in his semi-muscular chest. He wrapped his arms tighter around her and kissed the top of her head.
"Hey there," she said.
"Hey," he smiled, kissing her head again. "I hope you don't have any regrets about last night."
"No way on Earth," she said, turning him over onto his back. That soon started a repeat of last night for the two young lovers.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lita was sitting at breakfast, stealing glances at Quatre secretly. But when he would catch her looking, he's smile lovingly and she'd lower her eyes coyly.
"This is as good as I remember," Serena squealed, forking her fourteenth waff;e and putting it onto her plate, smothering it with homemade rich maple syrup.
"Lita, you're such a great cook," Mina said excitedly.
"Why, thank you," Lita said happily.
"I'm going to get the mail," Heero said, tired of watching all of this merriment.
"I'll come with you," Mina said, jumping up and following him out the door.
"Well, I need to go for a walk to burn these calories off," Serena said. "Come on, Rini. Darien, are you coming?"
"Yeah," Darien said, getting up and following the two women who lit up his life out the door.
"I think that a nice nap is in order," Duo said, stretching and yawning.
"Good nap, Duo," Lita said, waving to him cherfully.
Trowa quietly got up from the table and walked towards the foyer.
"Helllo, Trowa,"Ami said as she passed him. "I was just coming to look for you. Do you think that you could possibly help me with translating this book?"
"Sure," Trowa said.
The two walked towards the library, Ami still holding the book.
Wufei quickly excused himself from the table and went to practice with his katana.
Rei got up to do the dishes as planned.
At that moment, Lita's little pager-like thing started beeping.
"Hello," she said, turning on the little video screen but only getting the picture of a man, his face shrowded in shadows.
"Is this the bounty hunter, Ryoko," the man asked, his voice clearly disguised by some sort of voice scrambler.
"Yes, but if you're trying to hire me, I must tell you-" Lita started to say.
"I'm not looking to hire you," the man said, butting in. "I have some information for you."
"About what," Lita asked suspiciously.
"About your little Claudia, Lita," the man said. "She's still alive."
"What kind of sick joke is this," Lita yelled. "Who the hell are you?!"
"You'll find out soon enough," the man said. "Your little Claudia has been alive for sometime. She's just chyrogenically frozen. We can unfreeze her. But you have to do something for us."
"How do I know that you're not just making this up," Lita yelled.
The screen shifted pictures and was now showing a picture of none other that Claudia.
"Oh my god," Lita gasped, tears forming in her eyes. "My baby. My little baby."
The picture faded and now showed the same man as before.
"You want her back, don't you," the man asked.
"Yes," Lita sobbed. "I'll do anything."
"You'll be sent a set of instructions," the man said. "Follow them and when you arrive here, you'll find out what you must do. Good-bye."
The screen went blank, leaving Lita sobbing, tears moistening her pale cheeks.
