Shinimegami: Hehe, sorry about the slight gap in my updating! I've
been a little busy, with my birthday coming up!
Heero: Let's just start the chapter already.
Blue Angel: Don't be so impatient, Heero.
Heero: Omae o korosu.
Blue Angel: Geez, I just said don't be impatient...
Shinimegami: Heh, well, on with chappie #5!
Wufei: Shinimegami does not own Gundam Wing.

*Trowa's POV*
Laura was a very experienced pilot, but I was also very interested in her hawks. I had never seen birds like that in the colors black and white. Nor had I ever seen those kind of birds that tame before.
I found Laura out in the garden behind the house. She was sitting on the small park bench, watching Yami and Hikari gracefully fly around. She saw me as I walked forward.
"Hi, Trowa," she said, nicely. I nodded in greeting, stopping in front of her.
"Not the talker, huh?" Laura asked.
"In some ways, I guess," I said, quietly. I sat down next to her on the bench. I gazed around at the variety of flowers and the fountain a distance away from us, before turning to Laura again.
"Where did you get your hawks?" I asked. She looked at me.
"It's kind of a long story," Laura said. "I don't want to waste your time, or anything."
"Don't worry," I assured her. "I've got time."
"Well, okay," Laura said. "It happened during my training to be a gundam pilot. Those five scientists were having me train in a mountain and forest-type area. You know, having fake enemies pop up out of nowhere and I have to destroy them."
"I get it," I said. "Go on."
"Well, I was taking a short break after a while," Laura continued. "I was sitting under a big tree and looking at my surroundings. Then I notice this bird's nest in one of the trees. I didn't know what kind of bird made it, or where the bird was, for that matter. I didn't want to interfere with its territory, so I left it alone. The scientists called me back to train in a different environment.
"After about a few hours, I was told to train back at the mountain and forest area, since they thought I could have done better. And I did do a lot better than the last time. That bird's nest came back into my mind, so I decided to go see if the bird came back to it. I came to that one tree, but the bird still wasn't there.
"That was when another thought struck me. What if the bird that made the nest was a mother? And what if something bad happened to it, and it was never going to return to the nest? If that was the case, I didn't want anything bad to happen to the eggs. So I climbed up the tree and sure enough, there were two eggs inside the nest. I felt them and discovered they were practically freezing, which clearly stated the mother had been gone for quite a while. I was afraid for the unborn chicks, so I picked up the nest, wrapped it in my jacket, and brought it back with me."
"I think I know what happens next," I said. "You raise the eggs yourself?"
"Yep," Laura said. "I was a little surprised that the five scientists let me keep them."
"They can be surprising at sometimes," I agreed. "So you hatched the eggs on your own?"
"Yeah," Laura said, looking up at Yami and Hikari. "I kept the eggs warm until they finally hatched. I was really surprised when I saw that one was black and the other white."
"That's quite an inspiring story," I complimented, "and I'm impressed at how tame they are."
"Heh, I didn't have to do anything special to tame them," said Laura. "I was the first thing Yami and Hikari saw when they were born, so they think I'm their mother. Birds usually are connected to the first living thing they see after they hatch, you know."
"I know," I said. Laura whistled and the hawks flew over to us. They each landed on Laura's outstretched arms.
"You want to hold them?" Laura asked me. I nodded and she asked me to stretch out one of my arms. I did as told, and Hikari hopped onto my arm.
"She likes it when you stroke her chest feathers," said Laura.
"She?" I questioned as I began to stroke Hikari's chest feathers.
"Yeah," Laura said. "She and Yami are sister and brother. I guess you could say Yami's older, since he was the first to hatch." Hikari seemed to relax completely as I stroked her. Yami noticed and perched himself on my shoulder, wanting his own feathers stroked. Laura giggled.
"I guess he got a little jealous," she said. I did the same to Yami as I did Hikari. Both birds seemed to enjoy it.
Suddenly, a loud crash and scratching of hard metal was heard from the hanger. Yami and Hikari screeched and took flight once again.
"What was that?" Laura asked.
"I don't know," I replied. We both stood up from the bench and ran towards the hanger, Laura's hawks close behind. The voice of a pissed-off Heero met us as we came through the hanger door.
"Duo, you baka!" he shouted.
"It was an accident!" Duo shot back. Laura and I went over to where they were and saw what the fuss was about. There was a gash in Silver Feather's side. The scythe to Duo's gundam was active and was close to the gash. Laura was shocked.
"What the hell happened?!" she exclaimed. Duo and Heero looked up at us.
"It was an accident!" Duo said again. "Well, actually, it was Heero's fault..."
"It was not!" Heero shot. He glared at Duo and looked at Laura. "I just returned from my mission, and the BAKA here just happened to be working on an adjustment to his Deathscythe Hell. It seemed that I had surprised him, and his scythe sliced into your gundam."
"It was an accident!" Duo said yet again.
"WOULD YOU STOP SAYING THAT?!" Heero yelled. Laura sighed and held her head.
"I guess I'll just call Howard and have him get some parts for the repairs," she said, quietly. "It's not like they'll need me for a mission or anything soon." Yami and Hikari landed on her shoulders and she walked out of the hanger.
"Baka," said Heero.
"Stop calling me that!" shouted Duo. They went back to arguing again. I looked up at the gash again and sighed heavily. 'Duo will be lucky if Laura forgives him for this,' I thought, and walked out of the hanger, the voices of Heero and Duo behind me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heero and Duo: *still arguing in the background*
Blue Angel: How long have they been going at it?
Shinimegami: I dunno, I lost count at 2 hours, 45 minutes, and 63 seconds.
Blue Angel: Should we ignore them and do the fan mail?
Shinimegami: Sure. Okay, first of all, holly says hi to the GW cast. ^.^
Blue Angel: That was nice!
Shinimegami: Yep! Now say hi back.
*crickets can be heard in the background*
Shinimegami: AS THE GREAT SHINIMEGAMI, I COMMAND YOU TO SAY HI!!!!
GW cast: HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!! ^.^
Blue Angel: You have to work a bit on your temper.
Shinimegami: Hehe, I know. *takes out a bag* From my very good friend, Wingzero. Dude, IM me sometime! ^.^
Blue Angel: Uh, the fan mail?
Shinimegami: Oh yah. *pulls out a Wufei-proof cage, a ton of gundam polish, and a gundam-sized buster rifle* For Laura.
Laura: Cool! Thanks! *shoots an evil smile at Wufei*
Wufei: *inches away slowly*
Shinimegami: *pulls out a state-of-the-art lap top, a pair of light sabers, and a book titled, "The Art of Revenge"* For Heero.
Heero: *stops arguing with Duo and walks over* Hey, thank you. My gundam knows what I like. *starts reading the book*
Blue Angel: I am NOT coming near you when you have that book.
Shinimegami: Ditto. *pulls out a complete prank kit, a book titled, "Pranking Chinese Pilots," and life insurance* For Duo.
Duo: *takes the book and reads it, occasionally stopping on a page and laughing*
Blue Angel: He's really gonna need that life insurance later.
Shinimegami: Yep. *pulls out a flute, music books, and a bazooka with unlimited missiles* For Trowa.
Blue Angel: Don't you already have a flute?
Trowa: No, that one belonged to Quatre. I've always wanted one, though. Thank you.
Shinimegami: *pulls out a Sandrock plushie, a year's pass to anything he wants to attend, and a cute little cockatiel in a cage* For Quatre.
Quatre: Yay! My first plushie! ^.^ *huggles the plushie* And the cockatiel's lovely! I like the tickets too! Thanks!
Shinimegami: *pulls out a yoga book, an entire DVD series on yoga, and a pink tutu with a note attached to it* For Wufei.
Wufei: *sees the pink tutu* INJUSTICE!! *reads the note* "You think girls are weak. Just wait until you meet me. I'll activate my zero system on you and then we'll see who's weak! Signed, Wingzero."
Heero: You have to be careful around my gundam, Wufei.
Wufei: CURSE YOUR GUNDAM, YUY!!!! *instantly clamp his hand over his mouth*
Shinimegami: Dude, Wingzero's gonna kill you.
Blue Angel: You'd better get a head start before she comes after you.
Wufei: *runs like hell out of the studio*
Shinimegami: Well, that's everything. So, it looks like Duo totally wrecked Laura's gundam!
Duo: I TOLD you, it was an accident!
Heero: *stamps ductape over Duo's mouth*
Shinimegami: Thanks.
Heero: No problem.
Shinimegami: Hehe. Stay tuned for the sixth chappie everybody! ^.^
Heero: Let's just start the chapter already.
Blue Angel: Don't be so impatient, Heero.
