-yos are so fun to eat…..
Where'd that come from? Any way I just wanna say hi to all my loving reviewers who are still yet to find out that I got my own account. So, without further adieu:
"Hi."

"Hey there, Duo speakin'," Duo picked up the telephone, "Wufle? How's it goin'?" He smiled like a baka, as Wufei continued, Duo's smile lessened. "So they're after them?" Duo froze in shock when a knock sounded at the door. "We'll I'll remember that, but right now I gotta go, I think Hididly fergot her key again."
Duo put the telephone back on the hook and made a mad dash for the door that had been ringing for about a minute now. "Hi there…" Duo stopped what was about to come out of his mouth when he realized that the woman at the door was not Hilde. "Uh…."
"I have a warrant for the arrests of Katrina and Mack Maxwell. I understand your perspective as a parent, but I must insist that you do not hide them," the woman instructed Duo, her voice just as stern and tough as her expression.
"Why do ya' wanna arrest 'em?" Duo asked looking behind the woman to make sure that there weren't any reinforcements, already aware of what was going on.
"For the use of illegal weaponry, sir I assume that you are Mr. Maxwell?"
"Yep."
"Your children have been piloting Gundam, please sir bring them here so I may read them their rights," the woman gave Duo an icy glare.
"Yah, sure. Mack, Kat! Down now!" Duo shouted up the stairs already forming a plan.
"What?" Mack walked slowly down the stares and into the atrium; Kat close on his heals.
"Kat, Mack," Duo addressed the pair of teenagers with the same tone any parent would use when their children are in trouble, "Run!" Duo tackled the woman to the floor, Mack, and Kat staring obliviously. "Go!" Duo shouted trying to wrestle the officer to the ground.
The thought of what was going dawning on them; the two ran out the door and down the street, a flash of dark crimson meeting their eyes.
"Kat, what the heck is going on?" Mack asked as quietly as he could while the two of them where running for their freedom, possibly even, their lives. When a man standing shrouded in the shadows of the alley that, he was standing in a large tan tarp wall behind him.
"Come!" shouted the man his hand out stretched to the duo running in zigzag tandem in-between alleyways and small streets. Freezing in his tracks Mack stopped signaling Kat to stop as well. "Mack, Kat, I'm glad I found you," the man stepped out of the shadows a dark space helmet blocking all of his face features from view, and a large trench coat making it hard to discern his height.
"Who are you?" Kat demanded assuming a karate stance that Meiran had taught to her, a small tear running down her cheek at the remembrance of her friend.
"Aidien," (that's pronounced Ā-dē-źn, folks), "Krushrinada, the younger brother of Trieze Krushranada, but now that's not important it's imperative that I get you two and the other pilots back together, to save those that hunt you!"
"Nani…?" Mack and Kat both stared at the man who gave them a dead serious look in exchange.
"Whether you comprehend or not we must go and find the other that is on this colony," the man commanded walking towards the others.
"What do you mean, 'find the other that is on this colony,' there isn't another Gundam pilot on this colony?" Mack asked advancing towards the man, Aidien.
"Gundam pilot Sally Chang lives on this very colony as we speak, she too is being chased by the UESN. However, I have lured her here under the false pretence of a martial arts match!"
"…" was all Mack or Kat could respond to the odd man at that long outburst.

"Listen, fella, we'd love to stick around for two more hours and listen to you psycho ramble about what ever it is that you've been talking about but we gotta go, 'k?" Kat finally spoke up after about ten minutes of waiting for Sally to show up.
"Wait. If you leave this area, I can guarantee that you will be found by the UESN enforcers!" Aidien pointed out as a gunshot ricocheted of a steel pipeline bolted to the side of a run down building, to the right of the canvas wall.
"Why the heck are you firing on me I'm not armed!" Sally ran down the ally tripping when she saw Mack and Sally.
"Sally!" Mack dove in front of her, bullets ricocheting on the ground around them. On reflex, Mack reached into his shirt producing the large black handgun that Seiko had given him, firing in non-vital spots as he had quickly learned to do in his prison experience.
"Their armed retreat! The officer still standing picked up his partner and ran down the street, disappearing from sight.
"Bad move kid," Aidien scolded, "now they know where we are we must go now." Calmly he reached into on of the many pockets of his trench coat producing three remote controls. "As long as Quatre does not destroy your Gundam then you should be able to call it here on remote control," tossing them to the feet of the three teenagers before him he crossed his arms, waiting.
"I'll try," Mack walking forward to pick up the controllers, Sally making a small movement to stop him before Kat put her arm out to stop her.
"Sally, he can be trusted, look closely at the tinted visor of his helmet," Kat looked over at the man once more as Sally's face lit up with recognition.
"I understand."
