Baby Psycho: Sorry for taking so long to write the next chapter. I didn't mean for this to take that long. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Hope you all had a really great Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

In the year 2002 BC travelling to the Mars sector was impossible for humans. In AC 19 it took almost 6 months, in AC 195 it took 12 days, and now, in the year AC 269 travelling from the colonies to Earth took about 3 hours. That was if you were travelling in an Astroship, the latest model in inter-planetary transport.
Unfortunately for Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei they had no chance of going on an Astroship. The reason was that they had packed lots of junk, meaning they had way too much luggage. This was why they would be spending the next 15 days cramped into a small cargo-ship called the Destix.
Cargo-ships were not made for passengers, but Quatre had bribed the captain of the ship with 5000 eacol. Duo watched as Heero finished loading the last of their bags, turning to Trowa and Wufei he shouted out,
"Last one in bunks with Quatre"
^ ^ ^
When the Destix finally landed at the main Earth spaceport, Captain L. Largain was a nervous wreck. For the last 15 days his ship had been blasted, shot, sliced and punched with everything possible. He should of known taking 5000 eacol off a bunch of teenagers was a bad idea. The trip had gone terribly wrong. Not only were the five boys insane, but they were also armed to the teeth.
Over the last 15 days, he and his crew had removed 5 swords, 7 auotoguns, 2 hand-guns, 3 lock-picking sets, 4 bombs, 6 hand-held detonators, 2 grenades and one flute wielded as a weapon. The boy with no fashion sense at all had another gun, they had been unable to confiscate it though.
Whenever anyone came within 2 metres the gun would mysteriously end up aimed at them. The captain sighed, for someone who wore tight jeans and tank tops, he was great at concealing weapons.
After being unceremoniously chucked out of the cargo-ship Trowa sat down and went over the events of the last fortnight. Nothing to exciting had happened, the captain had threatened to eject them from the space lock a few times, and someone had stolen his flute, most probably Duo. He hated it when people tried to shove flutes in unnatural places, and for some strange reason the crew of the ship had started stalking Heero.
^ ^ ^
The spaceport had major security checks, this of course meant that there was a metal detector. Heero was having a few problems, every time he walked through the detector it went off. There was now a large line behind him and a crowd had gathered to watch. Duo, Quatre, Trowa and Wufei were all too busy trying to go through their own checks to notice Heero's troubles.
"I'm sorry young man, but you're going to have to let us check you for weapons."
The sheepish security guard gave Heero a quick pat down around his arms and waist. Not finding anything he gestured to Heero to go through again. To the crowds amusement the alarm went off again. Heero had never had a very good temper, and at the moment he was feeling very, very upset. He was so upset that he nearly missed the guard's next words.
" I'm sorry sir, could you come with me, you're going to have to be strip- searched."
The poor guard didn't know what was happening. The boy whipped a gun out of no where and shouted,
" That's it, I'm going to kill you", then, before he could ring the alarm the boy disappeared in thin air.
^ ^ ^
After quickly escaping the spaceport, the five boys were out in the city of greater Japan. Their biggest problem had been finding somewhere to live, but this had been solved. Wufei had suggested that they enlist in a boarding school. At first there were complaints, but the more they thought about it, the better the idea seemed.
The school of choice was Takei University. It was the best university in the area, it had an on campus swimming pool, karate dojo, library, music hall and the mall across the road had over 100 shops, a cinema and a firing range. Everything they needed to make it their home.
After yet another house meeting, the decision had been made to stay roommates. As Heero had pointed out, it wasn't that they were friends, it was just that they knew each other so well. Duo had just looked at them and laughed.
Wufei had rung the school and made most of the necessary arrangements, though the principal had to speak to each person on their own for 10 minutes. Luckily the principal had not been discouraged and had accepted their applications. One of the arrangements was a mini-bus meeting them at the spaceport once they arrived. It only took a few minutes before an overweight, balding man started jumping up and down, waving a sign that read ' Mackwel, Whinner, Barden, Yuji and Chan'
The man spotted them and rushed over. Pumping each of their hands in an enthusiastic handshake, he introduced himself.
"I 'm Karl Hodge, I'm the school handyman. It's nice to meet you boys, how was the trip? We were expecting you much earlier, what hap-?" Before he could go on much further Duo cut him off.
"Umm our names are wrong on that sign I'm Du-", he was shut up by Trowa elbowing him in the ribs. It wouldn't sound right if they told Karl that they had the same names as the supposedly dead Gundam Pilots.
Karl smiled at the boys, he used to tell adults that they had his name wrong when he was a boy. Playing along with their joke he read of the names he had been given.
" I was given the names Dewey Mackwel, Cadrah Whinner, Rowan Barden, Hiwo Yuji and Lufei Chan. If those are the wrong names I'm sure you can have them changed at the office. Come with me now, we're running late guys."
Wufei was on the receiving end of 4 very strong glares. Having enough decency to look ashamed he said, " Sorry, I had a cold it wasn't my fault.
^ ^ ^
The ride to Takei was over quickly and before they knew it Heero, Duo, Quatre, Trowa and Wufei were standing in front of the main office. Karl had told them to wait there for their guides, as they had all of their schedules and other necessary things.
The courtyard was a mass of young adults. Some were walking to class, others were sitting in groups talking, and others reading in the shade of the trees. Takei was a co-ed University, one of the largest on Earth. Of course they had different dormitories for the boys and girls.
The University had almost every type of class available. It had been really tough choosing their courses, but in the end they had settled with History- Wars and their Leaders, Weaponry-Design, and one other course of their liking. Heero chose to do Advanced Computing, Duo signed up for Mechanical Engineering, Quatre decided on Business Management, Trowa took an out of campus course in Body Performance and Wufei started Chinese-Tradition and Language.
They were each very happy with their choice, they knew almost every area of their courses already. Going back to school was more for a place to live, than the need to study. So far their term at Takei looked to off to a good start.
^ ^ ^
Eacol is the currency of their times. I was going to use the dollar, but it didn't seem appropriate.
Sorry about the courses that I used, I couldn't really think of any ones that they would used. I looked through the university manual but it wasn't much help.
Please review.
