Sheina didn't waste any, well, a lot time enjoying the birds' songs,
green grass, or solid ground. "First, we need to rent a car and check in at
the hotel. Then we can figure out our next move. The car shop is a couple
miles away."
"We can walk it."
"What?! Are you crazy?! We can't-" Heero started walking. "My feet are going to be sore for days," she grumbled, and ran up to catch up with him.

"Carry me," Sheina moaned.
"I can't carry you and open the door," Heero replied.
Sheina realized where they were. "Oh. Well, I'm sitting down when we get inside."
They went in and Sheina sat down while Heero went to the desk. He saw a bell and rang it.
A man jumped from behind the desk and yelled, "WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW?!!"
Heero pulled out a gun, aimed it at the man, and clicked the safety off.
"Oh, excuse me. I thought you were my father-in-law. What do you need?"
"A car."
"That's why you're here, isn't it? This is a car rental shop, isn't it?"
Heero nodded but still didn't lower the gun.
"So, what car do you want?"
"What do you have?"
"What do you think I have?"
"I think you should quit playing games." Heero indicated the gun with a nod of his head.
"Alright, alright. I have one car."
"Then why'd you ask me what I wanted?"
"I was hoping you wanted it."
"Show me the car."
The man led Heero out back. The car was a familiar silver-colored BMW.
"This is the same car used in the James Bond movies. Because of that, it will cost you a lot of money."
"We have none."
"Then you can't get the car. And don't try to scare me with that cap gun, my son has one just like it."
Heero turned and shot the fuel tank of an old car without wheels.
"Or I can bill you later." He sounded nervous.
Heero shot another car, this one without a steering wheel. It exploded too.
"Okay! Okay! The car's for free!" He handed Heero the keys and took off running.
"Thanks." Heero put the gun away and went in to get Sheina.
"I got us a car." Heero said.
"I heard." Sheina stood up. "Let's get to the hotel. I need to take a nice, long bath and get something to eat."

Heero and Sheina walked up to the desk. "Two for Yuy. We took your most expensive suite." Sheina said.
"Ah, yes, room 623, 6th floor. I'm sure you'll like it." The man behind the desk handed them keys, and they went to the elevators. It went up, and Sheina opened the door. Both of their eyes widened.
It was huge, and had to be separated into three rooms. The first had the bed, couches, tables, chairs, and a wall taken out for a big screen TV. The next room, the kitchen, had every appliance in it known to man. The bathroom had a toilet, a sink, shower, and a Jacuzzi. The balcony was nothing but a pool.
"Where did you get the money for this?" Heero asked.
"Oh, I just charged it to you."
"You did what?!"
"You heard me." Sheina walked in, went straight to the bathroom, and closed the door. "I'll be in here for a couple of hours, so you can decide what's for dinner."
"I'll order pizza." Heero layed down on the couch and turned on the TV.
*****
"You said 'a couple of hours,'" Heero told Sheina as she walked out of the bathroom.
"Sue me. The water got too hot for me."
"It took you an hour to figure that out?"
"Just shut up about it. Where's the pizza?"
"I haven't ordered it yet."
"Fine, I'll order it." Sheina ordered while Heero turned off the TV and turned on his laptop.
"Since you have it out, I should give you this." Sheina handed him a small disk. "I've done a little reconnaissance work, and here are al my findings."
He inserted the disk. "You've only got the perimeter."
"Did you expect me to get in now? That's what you're for."
He suddenly stopped typing and muttered, "Oh, no."
"What's wrong?" Sheina came behind him and looked at the screen.
"We have some problems," he answered. "First, their base is surrounded by a shield. The generators are at three different bunkers, and shutting down those bunkers is the only way to bring down the shield. Also, it's at the top of Mt. Vieuv. It's a very rugged mountain, but they have some anti- craft missiles. Unfortunately, we'll have to climb."
"Well, I think we should focus on the things that are right now. Let's eat, get some rest, and tomorrow, we'll take out the nearest bunker. We even have some 2% milk in the fridge."
"Sounds fine."
There was a knock at the door. "Pizza," a woman called out. Heero paid for it and he and Sheina ate silently. Sheina went to bed, but Heero continued typing. We have more problems then that, he thought, and I plan on finding out the answers to them.
"We can walk it."
"What?! Are you crazy?! We can't-" Heero started walking. "My feet are going to be sore for days," she grumbled, and ran up to catch up with him.
