Alright, I'm back with chapter 7, I hope you're liking this because I'm getting a writer's headache. I've been thinking about words too much. Well, because I love you all so much and because I want to hurry and finish this thing, I'm going to continue. Alright, please review and peaces.

"Ok, this should be it. The wrap isn't too tight is it?" Ami asked as she finished wrapping an ace bandage around her friends' stomach. "No it's fine." Serena said and Ami smiled.
"You know you should be happy I want to be a doctor and that the knife was short bladed. A few inches deeper and you would've needed stitches." Ami said and Serena smiled. "Thanks Ames." she said softly.
"It's nothing. Next time, just be careful with who you pull guns out on ok Sere?" she said as Serena nodded and hopped off the table they had used as a first aid station. There was a knock at the door and Mina peeked her head in the room. "We've come to see the patient." she said and spotted Serena.
"Hey girl." Serena said and Mina opened the door all the way and everyone else walked in. Raye and Mina gave her some yellow and red roses. "Thanks you guys." Serena said taking them. "Hey it's a party." Ami said as she put away the unused her supplies. "How ya doing?" Raye asked.
"I've felt better but then again I've never been stabbed." Serena replied. "Oh, I was so worried about you." Relena said pushing past everyone and hugging her "cousin".
"Thanks. But. I. Can't. Breathe." Serena said turning blue. "Sorry." Relena said as she released the girl and she slowly went back to her normal color. "So what does the doctor say?" Quatre asked. "The operation was a success but the patient needs to stay off her feet for a few days." Ami said and Serena nodded. "I know I know." she mumbled.
"Well, how about we go down to the kitchen and have some ice cream sundaes?" Quatre said. "Yum, I love ice cream." Serena said happily. "Well, it's good to know that you didn't loose your appetite." Raye said and Serena stuck her tongue out at her then went skipping out of the room. "The last one down is a weak onna!" Serena chanted.
"Um I don't think that's- awe, never mind." Ami called after her as almost everyone else ran or walked out of the room at a quickened pace. "I brought these for you." Quatre said pulling some violets from behind his back.
Ami looked at them and smiled. "You didn't have to do that. Marlene was the patient." Ami said. "Yea, but the doctor deserves just as much gratitude as the patient does." he said and she smiled and took them. "Thank you." she said blushing a little.
"Now come on. At this rate Marlene and Duo will have eaten everything." Quatre said and Ami nodded, placed the flowers down and ran out of the room. "Like she said, last one there's a weak onna." she said looking back and Quatre smiled ran after her.
*Later that night*
Heero sat down at his computer and logged on. The familiar, "Welcome, you've got mail." greeted his ears. (AN: Go AOL guy!) He felt slightly anxious though he didn't show it on his face. He clicked on his mailbox and saw two messages. One he immediately deleted coming from the address,
'RPnHY4eva@queenoftheworld.com'.
He glanced at the other with the subject: Pilot 01!. Then clicked on the read button. He read the message and then clicked reply and typed two words before he sent the message and shut down his computer. 'Mission Accepted'.
*****************
Serena settled down at her computer and signed on. She had a message so she clicked the e-mail icon. 'Moon Bunny' was the subject and she clicked on the read icon, knowing it was from Darien.
Serena, have you got any information what so ever about the mobile suits? Our clients informed me that the real Marlene is coming home earlier then they expected. Instead of having 10 days you now have 2 days. Please don't fail on me now. Tell the others and let me know when you've made any progress.
Dark Knight
Serena sighed as she deleted the message. She knew Heero had an obsession with hacking into computers and if he saw that, their cover would be blown for good.
'I'm sorry guys.' she thought as she shut down her computer and climbed into bed. 'I'm SO sorry.'
*The Next morning*
Serena walked into the kitchen yawning. "Good morning all." she said plopping down in the seat next to Raye. She knew she had to tell the girls about the email she had received but she didn't feel like explaining anything right then. "Ditto." Raye replied from her position of being half-asleep with her head on the table.
"Where are the guys? This is the latest Duo's been to breakfast." Mina said. "The guys are just tired, they stayed up late talking last night." Relena said as she left the room. She didn't like lying to her cousin or to anyone, but the guys would freak if she told them that they were the Gundam Pilots and they were out all night doing a mission.
"I feel them about the sleepiness." Raye said. "Didn't sleep well?" Serena asked and Raye shook her head no. "I ended up doing a fire reading until about 3 this morning about those dreams I told you I was having. Sadly I came up empty but managed to use up most of my energy." Raye said.
"That's why we're not doing anything today except for lounging around the pool." Lita said. "Here here." Mina said raising her coffee mug in the air.
***********
Wufie awoke with a splitting headache. The mission last night had taken a lot out of him, well out of all of them. They had gotten back at about 4 that morning so Wufie chose to sleep in.
A high pitched scream echoed through his room. 'Stupid loud onnas' he thought as he walked over to his balcony and opened the door. It was a semi-cloudy day but still hot and muggy. He looked down at the pool. The girls were all lounging around it.
Mina was sitting in a chair under a sun umbrella reading a magazine. Marlene was sitting on the steps of the pool were it came up to her neck and she was leaning back on the step behind it. Lita was rubbing suntan lotion on her shoulders on a patio chair. Raye was lying by the pool with one foot in the water and appeared to be asleep and Ami was sitting in a chair, reading a book.
Heero ran out of his room when he heard a scream but noticed it was just the girls and sighed. "Morning Yuy." Wufie said and Heero looked over at his fellow pilot and nodded in acknowledgement.
"What was that scream?" Quatre asked walking on the balcony yawning. Wufie motioned to the girls and Quatre nodded.
"Hey what's up?" Duo asked as he walked over to everyone else. The guys looked back at him and noticed Trowa leaning against the wall.
"Good morning Duo, good morning Trowa." Quatre greeted them as Duo scratched his neck and Trowa waved back.
"That's it, I can't stand just sitting here any longer." Mina said throwing the magazine she was reading down on her lap. "I'm trying to sleep Aino." Raye said turning her head to look at the blonde. "Oh shut up Raye." Mina said standing.
"Aren't you all bored?" she asked. Lita shrugged and sat down on the side of the pool putting her feet in the water. "Not really, I'm really tired from yesterday." she replied.
"Well, we have two days left here. I'm not spending one of them lounging around the pool." she said. "Wasn't this your idea?" Ami asked glancing up from her book. "Yea, but I at least thought that the guys would wake up this decade. Err, I'm going for a walk." Mina said standing and walking into the gardens.
"Actually they've been watching us for a few minutes now. Hey guys, sleep pleasantly?" Serena said glancing up on the balcony and the rest of the girls followed her gaze.
"Hn." Heero said before turning and walking back into his room. 'How'd she know we were there, she had her head turned away from us the whole time.' he thought.
"Wait a minute, did Mina say that you only have 3 days left here?" Quatre asked. "Yea, we leave this Saturday. We got called into work." Raye said. "I thought you were supposed to be here for two weeks?" Duo asked, slightly upset that they were leaving early.
"We did too, but we have to go in earlier then we excepted." Ami said putting her book down. She noticed the slightly hurt look on all of the guys' faces. 'Focus' she told herself looking down at her book. She didn't want to go either and it was tearing her apart to leave Quatre right when they were getting so close.
"I'm going to go find Mina." she said quickly as she put her book down and walked towards the gardens like Mina had. Serena watched as her friends left, it didn't take a genius to figure out why they wanted to go on a walk. She sighed and stood up.
"I'm beginning to feel a little sick. I'm going up to my room." she said walking across the patio. "Are you ok?" Raye asked and Serena weakly nodded and walked inside. Duo's stomach growled loudly and everyone looked at him. "Guess I missed a few meals." Duo said sheepishly.
"Oh, you guys haven't eaten anything yet, go get dressed and I'll get to making you something." Lita said standing up. "Want to help me Raye?" Lita asked and Raye stood up and followed the brunette to the kitchen as the guys went back to their rooms to change.
*****************
Ami walked around a wall of bushes and found Mina sitting at the fountain. She looked back and Ami noticed how red her eyes were.
"Hey Ames." Mina said turning back to the water. "Hey Mina, are you ok?" she asked sitting next to her friend. "Yea." Mina said then she looked at Ami. "Actually no." she said.
"I'm so tired of this." she said and Ami nodded, she could relate to that. "I don't want to do this mission, I don't want to leave and I don't want to hurt Duo." she said as a tear rolled down her cheek and she wiped it away.
Ami hugged Mina and she broke down. "I wish I could stay here." Mina said crying on her friends' shoulder. "I wish I could stay here too." Ami said as a tear rolled down her and landed in the water.
"Who knows, it may work out in the end, just don't give up hope." Ami said and Mina nodded and pulled away. "You're right, as always. I thought I was the only 'traitor'." Mina said and Ami laughed. "No, everyone else is too, they just don't know it yet." Ami said and Mina smiled. "You think so?" she asked and Ami nodded.
"All will be revealed the day that we leave." Ami said and Mina sighed. "Stop with the freaky, mystical stuff will ya?" Mina said smiling as she wiped away the remainder of her tears. Ami laughed and stood up. "Ready to go back yet?" she asked holding her hand out.
"Sure." Mina said taking it and standing up. "Ok, one second." Ami said. She bent over the water and twirled her finger in a circle. The water shot up in a small mini tornado a few inches off the surface then went back to normal and she smiled at her friend. "I've still got it." Ami said happily and Mina laughed.
"Now let's see if I can use some of my goddess of love power on Serena and Heero." she said putting an arm over Ami's shoulder who did the same and they walked back to mansion.
*****************************************************************
I think I'll end it right there for today. I sure hope this doesn't suck because that's the best I can do.
