It's been a long time since I've written last and I just want to let the people who are reading this fic that I haven't stopped writing, just been a little busy with school and all. This goes out with thanks to my sister lirpa, my friend Demona, and all my other little insipirations. A note that Madeleine Goulden is a real person and I've just modified her a little, or a lot, so she fits into this story. I don't own any Gundam personalities, but my own characters are mine, please don't use them with out asking.

Meteor II: Reactions
Everyone looked at Madeleine, mouths hanging up in shock.
" What do you know about Gundams" Trowa asked, becoming the group's sopkespilot.
" Everything and anything. I grew up around them." she replied to the question. " I bet that you are wondering how I can say that? Quatre's probably also wondering what a 'Shooting Star' is? I remember mentioning it our business meeting."
They all nodded.
" I can answer both at once. Shooting Star is my Gundam" she looked pale and faint.
Wufei couldn't stop the words, they just came out. "Are you alright" he asked.
" I'm fine. Now to prove that I'm telling the truth. Heero get your laptop. In Instrutor H's files their is one called "Neo Pilot", in that file is a whole bunch of stuff on me. Each mentor has one..." she broke off as Heero swore.
" I can get into that file it needes a fingerprint" he muttered under his breath.
"Can you do that with that, " she pointed to Heero's laptop, " or do I need to get mine to show you?"
"No you can do the scan with this machine" Heero responded.
"Alright, bring the thing here," Madeleine sighed as the device scanned her fingertip. It beeped.
"Identity comfirmed, Neo Pilot entrance granted." the pilots hear from the laptop.
The file opened, and inside was a picture of Madeleine. She was wearing sand and gold. Every picture in the file had Madeleine in the same colors: sand and gold.
Heero readd out loud from the file, "Shows great progress in hand to hand; abilities rival any on L2 now. See clan file for further information."
"Go to the next entry," Madeleine urged.
"Operation Meteor II has begun. The pilots have launched; pilots 032 and 022 have completed the first mission. We have lost contact with pilot 042. She is presumed dead."
Madeleine snarled, "Give me that!"
Heero complied, watching her warily.
Her fingers flew across the keyboard, typing out a message, she smiled and hit send. All the while smirking at the others.
"What did you tell him?" Duo asked.
"That he's an idiot, I'm fine and soo not dead, and to send my love to my brother." The smirk was still dancing on her face.
"Danny'll kill him for that," Duo said, his large violet eyes laughing.
"Shoot the messanger," the screen flashed, " I have e-mail" Madeleine mused.She moved the mouse over to open and clicked. She found that the mail was from Earth@L5mail.com. / Hey, you've finally logged on. It's about time, everyone is here and going up the walls. Found my niche, everyone here is quiet, except Strike's pilot. Anyway, see ya soon. Earth. P.S. Fall is going to try to kill S for his critism of her latest gig, and Rage is waiting for someone. We can't pry his name out of her./
" I thought you didn't know any names or anyone," Trowa said.
" I don't, " Maddy replied, " I know their code names and therfore I know that she is for real." She chuckled, "anyone have any questions for me?"
They shook their heads.
" Good, 'cause I have to leave today, soon actually."
Quatre looked shocked. " Are you sure that you're well enough to travel with your injuries"
" Quatre, you're a dear, but yes I've been claered to travel and 012 will be here to pick me up in an hour and a half. So, I reall y have to hurry."
Heero looked up, "Who is 012," he asked.
"Don't know. All I know is that they call her Rage and she's not someone you don't want to mess with, but that can be said about all of us really. We really weren't given much information about our new teammates."
After saying that, she began to sit up. The world suddenly spun and she found herself in Wufei's arms. He had picked her up, and it was time for another round of carry the female Gundam pilot around. He carried her to her room and left her on her bed, so that she could pack her stuff in peace, well relative peace.
One hour and a crapload of packing later...
Duo looked at Danny's little sister. " You take care of yourself kido and keep fighting. But if you need help don't hesitate to call us, okay. I think even Wu-man would haul ass to help you. Good Luck."
" Thanks, Duo, that means more than you can ever know. It means that youi believe. And that means a lot to me."
The next to say good-bye was Quatre. He entered the foyer of the house, where Madeleine was waiting.
"You're sure it's okay for you to travel? I know if you get injuried again or cause one of remaining injuries to become more serious, I'll never forgive myself for letting you go." A faint pink color stained Quatre's cheeks, he was blushing.
"I'll be fine, Quatre. Thanks for letting me stay here while I was recovering. I know it must have been a HUGE sercurity compromise, and it must have been hard to convince the others I would NOT murder them in their sleep, so I'm not going to reveal this location to anyone. On that you have my word."
Quatre sighed, " That's more than I have the right to ask of you, of anyone. Thank- you, I know we'll all sleep easier knowing we have one more friend out there. However, if it is your life or that of one of your comrades and this is the closest safe house, don't worry about. Come here, I'll be more than happy to help, and we can always find a new place to live. Take care and fly cautiously, my friend."
" Don't worry overmuch, friend Quatre. I will."
Just then everyone in the house heard the sound of a helicopter landing, just out side the gates. All the other pilots entered the foyer. There were quiet good-byes and hugs from Trowa and Heero. Wufei just looked at Madeleine, " Good luck on all your missions, onna." A strange half smile played on his lips, " Stay safe and in one piece and plaese be careful." What followed was a tenative embrace, tenative by both parties invlovled. Breaking the embrace Madeleine nodded and waved to all the male gundam pilots.
She ran across the front yard, opened the gated and jumped into the helicopter that was waiting for her. As soon as she was on and the door closed, the pilots stared the engine and the craft took to the air and disappeared into the horizon.
Back on the ground, eyes straining to get one last glipse of the girl who had changed their lives so much, who had let them no they were alone, was Heero.
* I think, I'm actually going to miss her, I'm not quite sure when she stoped being a pest and started being one of us, but she did.* Heero puzzled over this revalation for about three minutes before moving on. * I wonder who 012 is? She has no little bit of talent. She could be a vaulable ally and a dangerous enemy. Couls she be one of my sisters? Deula or maybe Una? I miss tham both so much.* Heero turned and followed the others back inside the foyer.
