Hey, it's me and I'm back. My computer had to be fixed and we ended up just getting a whole new hard drive. Only problem is that all my old stories were on the old one so I'm starting fresh, well you've heard enough of my pointless jabber. I don't own SM or GW well that's the declaimer, I don't like adding them to every chapter so this is for the entire fic, alright, alright, so on with the fic.

A figure walked down the hallway at a quickened pace, its comrades walking behind it. They all had on the same outfit: short black shorts with holsters around their legs that held two black shotguns, (AN: Imagine Lara Croft from Tomb Raider's shorts.) black tank tops, and jet black combat boots completed the outfit but all their clothing was covered by the black trench coats that they wore over it. The one in the front looked back at the 4 people behind her.
"We must hurry, he won't be very happy if we're late." she said and they all began to run, each one in sync with the other. They turned a corner and continued to run down the dark corridor. "I hope he's not there yet." one of the girls in the back said.
They turned another corner and came to a stop in front of a pair of metal doors. The one in front looked back at her friends, then back to the door and placed her hand on the door handle. With little effort she opened the door and they all stepped into a huge dimly lit room. In the center of the room was a huge wooden table where two people were seated. One an unfamiliar man and the other the very man they had been talking about earlier, Darien Chiba, their boss. Once they were all in, the last closed the doors and they stood there, waiting to be talked to.
"And here they are now, it's so nice you could join us girls." Darien said to them. The 5 girls nodded their heads in acknowledgement. "Well, they look kind of young." the unknown man said surveying the girls.
"They are 17, that's the age range you requested." Darien said and the man snapped his head at him. "I don't care about their ages, I'm just worried if they can get the job done." he said and Darien smirked. "I have no doubt that they can get the job done. They are the best at what they do." he said and it seemed to have satisfied the man. "Very well, now let's discuss a fee." he said and Darien shook his head no.
"Not now, you pay nothing until the gundams have been shut down for good." Darien and the man smiled. "I like your style Darien. Have them at the OZ headquarters at 0400 tomorrow." he said and with that they both stood up and Darien walked him to another door across the room.
When the man was gone Darien returned and glanced over at the girls then took a seat in the chair closet to them. "You are late." he said and the first girl stepped forward. "We apologize for being late but we didn't receive the message until this morning." she replied. "Very well, I suppose I'll let you slide this time, but if it happens again then well, you know." he said and the girls quickly nodded.
"Now let's get down to business that man who just left was Treize the commanding officer of an organization known as OZ. He needs your help with these Gundam. They are robot-like machines that have been disrupting OZ's plans and they need them destroyed. They are piloted by 5 pilots. The Gundams are made out of Gundamium, thought to be indestructible.
"Now, you're job is to get to know the pilots and get them to tell you what the secret is, where they store them. Not as easy as it sounds I promise you, that's why I chose you to do this mission, I figure if anyone can get them to talk, it's you five." he said and the girls all looked at each other then back to Darien.
*Girls room*
"I can't believe this mission Darien is sending us on, he can think of something better can't he?" Mina said. They were all seated around the living room, discussing the mission they got like they always did. They believed that if you tell all your anxieties before you begin something, then you wouldn't think about it while doing it.
"I don't know, it could be hard, I mean he could've sent someone else if it were too easy." Lita said and Serena nodded. "Hey you guys, didn't that guy say that he wanted us to be at the Headquarters at 4 A.M.?" Raye said and Lita nodded. "Well, it's midnight and we still need to pack." Raye said starting a tornado through the house of blonde, black, brown and blue.
*4 A.M. OZ Headquarters*
The girls walked into the meeting room. They had one bag each in their hands and all looked tired. "Welcome girls." the same man from the pervious day, Trieze, said as they walked into the room. They bowed slightly and came to a stop. "You're here on time, good you can start right away."
A woman with her hair pulled into a tight bun walked over to them and handed Serena a folder. "Inside is your mission. I believe Darien told you a little about what you are to do?" he said and they all nodded. "Good. You are going undercover right to the source. They have been seen around a Miss Relena Peacecraft, you heard of her?" he said and they nodded.
"Good, this makes my job easier. Well, you, girl in the front." he said and Serena looked around. "Yea you, you are going undercover as her long lost cousin Marlene and you are her friends." he said and Serena looked back at her friends. "The real Marlene is in space on a secretive mission, not even Relena knows about it, just make sure you're done before she comes back, I'm trying to keep this as clean as possible. Have any questions?" he said and they shook their head no.
"Good, there's a ship that's waiting to take you to the Peacecraft estate." he said turning his back. The lady walked up again and took them towards the docking bay.
*Inside the ship, 15 minutes later*
"Alright, let's see who's so horrible." Lita said and Serena opened to the folder. Inside were 6 pictures and 6 bios about the pilots and Relena. "Whoa, they're all so hunky." Lita said with hearts in her eyes. "Let me guess, they all look like Freddy." Mina said and they all laughed and Lita crossed her arms, looking at the pics. "Not really, but in a way." she replied.
"Well, I'm thoroughly disappointed, Dare said it would be a challenge." Raye said pouting a bit. "Yea, yea, let's just get it over with, who wants who?" Mina said putting all the pictures out in a row.
*Peacecraft Mansion*
"Oh, I can't wait, Marlene is so much fun, I know you will all love her." Relena said as she sipped her tea. "We were always the best of friends." she added. "Um, I haven't heard of her before, where has she been?" Quatre asked. "Oh here and there, I haven't seen her since we were 7, but she couldn't have changed that much." Relena added. The doorbell rang and Relena jumped up from her seat. "That's her." she said as she quickly walked to the door, the pilots right behind her.
"This is injustice, having to spend the rest of our time with another onna." Wufie (AN: as if you didn't know) said. "This is going to be hell." Duo added and Trowa nodded. They got there and Relena yanked open the door to reveal 5 dark figures. It was raining outside and they all had on black trench coats with their hoods on so you couldn't see their faces. Heero hurriedly jumped in front of Relena and pulled out his gun and pointed it at them.
The first figure walked inside anyway and pulled off its hood to reveal the head of a blonde girl with a long braid down her back that reached her knees. "Um, hi Relena." she said and Relena pushed past Heero and hugged her "cousin". "Marlene, it's so good to see you." Relena said careful that her cousin's wet coat didn't get her dress wet. "I know it's been too many years, I'm sorry we startled your um, friend, it's really coming down out there." she said and Relena pulled away from her cousin. "We?" she said and Serena nodded.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just left you guys out there, come on in girls." she said and the rest of the girls walked in and took off their hoods to reveal four more girls. "These are my left and right hands basically, my best friends in the world, I hope it's not an inconvenience, I invited them along too." she said and Relena shook he head. "Not at all." she said and Serena looked back at her friends. "This is Lita Kino, Ami Mizuno, Raye Hino and Mina Aino. Girls this is my cousin, Relena Peacecraft." she said and they all bowed politely.
"It's nice to meet you all, these are my bodyguards, Heero Yuy, Trowa Barton, Quatre Winner, Wufie Chang, and Duo Maxwell." Relena said pointing at the five guys. "It's a pleasure to meet you." Quatre said. "Hello ladies." Duo said making Lita and Mina laugh. "......" Trowa "said". "Weak Onnas." Wufie said and Raye and Lita glared at him. "Hn." Heero mumbled.
"Well, come in and I'll show you to your rooms, you can put your coats over there." Relena said pointing to a stand beside the door. "Thanks these things get heavy when they're wet." Lita said and they all unbuttoned their coats and hung them up. Quatre blushed when he noticed their outfits and Duo got a huge smile on his face. "Um, Marlene, why do you all have guns?" Relena said and Serena looked down. "Oh, that um, well, you see-" Serena started and Raye interrupted. "They're insurance, you don't know who you can trust anymore, but they have blanks in them, you can check if you'd like." Raye said and Serena sent a thankful look to her.
"No, that's ok, I've never touched one and I don't plan on starting now." she said in a very stuck up way. "Alright, let's get you all to your rooms, they're right this way." Relena said and they all began to follow after her. Heero grabbed Serena's arm and waited for everyone to pass then began to walk behind them. "I don't trust you." he whispered in her ear. It sent chills through her body when she noticed how monotoned his voice was but kept her cool. "And why not?" she whispered back. "Because I have no reason to." he said. "You have no reason NOT to." she replied.
"Look, if you have any ideas of harming her then you'll have to go through me." he said and she almost smiled. "Now, why would I want to harm my favorite cousin?" she said. "I don't know, but I'm having a hard time believing the cousin of a peacemaker would just carry around a gun, let alone two." he said and she stopped walking, looked over at him and broke the grip that he had on her arm.
Heero stopped and looked back at her but the rest of the group kept going unaware that two people were missing. She walked up and got in his face so that her lips brushed across his with every word. "Look, I'm just here to have a good time with my cousin and friends, not to be accused of anything by some bodyguard who is beneath me, now if you excuse me I have to go to my room and get ready for dinner." she said turning and walking back towards the group, leaving a confused Heero Yuy standing there.
That's it for the first chapter, I hope you don't think it just sucked. Please review, even if you hate it, at least it's SOME response. Until the next chapter, stay safe and live the day like it's your last - MIS (Mercury Ice Storm).
