Hi everyone, sorry about these erratic updates, I just have one more week
left before I'm officially off for the summer, in which I must finish
writing a term paper for English and study for my chemistry final. Sorry
if this chapter might be shorter than usual, I'm doing my best. ^^
Anyhow, hope you all enjoy this and disclaimers goes as usual.

The Stage is Set
Heero continued to walk down a couple of side streets that lead to the bakery. He noticed that the same models of white vans weren't too far from the bakery. "This is getting strange." He gave a cold piercing look ahead of him, as he noticed two reporters making their way around the bakery.
"Are you in position yet?" yelled one of the van drivers.
"Just about ready, I think I see our subject coming down the street." A reporter peeps his head above the newspaper that he's reading from a local café. "I think he spotted us. He's giving me a cold death glare. Do you know if he carries a gun on him whenever he walks out in public?"
"Stay in position. Treize won't like this, if we botch up our scoop right now."
"Whatever you say, but if he's coming my way with some deadly object, I'm running the hell out of here. I don't care what Treize or Lady Une might think of me."
"Whatever, just keep your wits."
"Easy for you to say, you're in a van." The walkie-talkie went silent with static in the background. Sounds of rapid breathing began.
"I guess cupcake #1 is within hearing distance of our subject. It's time to be patient."
Heero looked over towards the reporter that tried to remain inconspicuous from his sight, but Heero knew that something was going to happen. He realized that it was the same photographer that he saw in the courtyard of the embassy. "This is going to get interesting," he pondered to himself. He decided to reach for his back pocket, and all of a sudden, he saw the person's eyes immediately began to widen and that sweat beads were dotting his forehead.
The reporter had these thoughts running through his head, "Oh no, HE'S going to shoot me. I better get out of this place, before he kills me for sure." With that, he immediately got up from his seat and ran the other way, opposite from Heero's line of sight with a trail of dust and leaves trailing behind him.
"I wonder what did I do to spook him." He continued to reach his back pocket and finally pulled out the white receipt from his black wallet. With that, he was just two blocks away from Shinigami's and Chang's Bakery. Again, he noticed that more reporters were strangely clustered near the bakery and they all had fear in their eyes, after seeing one of their colleagues run like a wild chicken down the avenue.

Back in the embassy, Relena had a pensive look on her face as she was trying to figure why Heero left so early during the afternoon. "Why would Heero leave so early and have Trowa take me home? Normally, Heero would literally escort me home until I was inside my own home." She reached for telephone consult and paged Quatre, who was in a nearby room, making the final preparations for Relena's surprise birthday party.
Quatre saw a red blinking light from the corner of his eye, "I wonder what she wants now." He pushed a button down and on the receiver, Relena's voice was heard, "Quatre, do you know why Heero had to leave abruptly this afternoon? Is everything all right with him?"
Quatre had to be quick on his feet, since he knew that he was the last line of defense in revealing Heero's true mission. "Well.um." he began to loosen the knot in his tie, "he told me he had some family emergency to attend to, I think it was for his sister."
"That's funny, he never told me he had any family near here. You sure about that, I don't ever recall that he has a sister?" Relena had flashes of their last conversation, in which Heero said that he had made plans for the night. She started to fidget with a pen in her hand, as she was continuing to listen to Quatre.
By this time, Quatre had found a hard time in concealing the truth from Relena, "Maybe I heard him wrong. You know how he always says things in his monotone voice all the time, right?"
There was a pause on the receiver, "I guess your right, but something doesn't make sense." She then said in a harsher voice, "Quatre, are you hiding something from me?" With that, she picked up her office phone and steadily walked over towards Quatre's office. to find him frantically shuffling papers inside his file cabinets. "Hello, Quatre."
"Ahhh! Don't you ever sneak up on me like that again."
"For the last time, do you know Heero's true whereabouts?"
Sweat beads dotted the blond boy's forehead, as Relena gave him a stern and questioning look at him with a slight foot tap in agitation.

Within the bakery, Duo was making the final last adjustments to his ultimate plan against Wufei. He somehow had managed to booby trap the bakery with all sorts of contraptions that would fire icing, sugar, and chocolate syrup. On his workstation table, he setup spoons along the metallic surface and slanted them slightly. He then leveled each one with small batches of flour. "With one pull on this string, a barrage of flour will hit him. Hehehehe. Once you mess with the God of Death, there's no turning back." He then let out an evil cackle.
He then ran to the other side of the kitchen, where the doors were rigged with buckets of chocolate syrup hanging from the apex of the doors. He made sure that the string wasn't too slack, otherwise his whole plan would be ruined. After fastening a couple of more knots, he placed a small handheld fan on Wufei's table and along side the fan, a bag of feathers that he had managed to store in the kitchen without Wufei's knowing.
With everything in place, Duo went back to the front of the bakery and pulled out his boom box. He placed a cassette tap in it and fast-forwarded the tape to the song, "Ride of the Valkaries," and looked underneath the counter, where he had placed his Viking helmet. "T minus to 15 minutes before the final war occurs within this bakery. Hopefully that Mr. Yuy will come buy and pick up the cake before the warfare begins." He looked at the white clock on the wall and noticed that it was getting close before Wufei would be back from his shopping errands. "This is going to get close for everyone."
To keep his mind focused, he went back to the kitchen and disarmed his refrigerator of the various protection systems that he placed onto it. He then grabbed the steel arm of the refrigerator and a swoosh of cold air was felt against his face, but before him was his beautiful masterpiece, Relena's birthday cake. "Thank goodness, it's still in one piece." With that, Duo locked up the refrigerator again and looked around the kitchen to make sure he didn't trigger one of the traps that was meant for Wufei. He then went back to his workstation table, and picked up several icing tubes and secretly hid them in his apron's pockets.
Right then, the usual jingle of the bells was heard from the front and a Persian eyed man stepped in. "Time for business."
*****
Back in the embassy, a scream was heard, "He did what?!?!"
*****
So how was that for chapter 13? Will Heero leave the bakery in time before chaos erupts one last time within Shinigami's and Chang's Bakery? Will Treize and Lady Une get their scoop? Or will there be a strange twist of events? Let me know what you think, I always appreciate your comments. ^_^ Until next time!!!
