My hands are starting to hurt now! ::rubs them:: I had written this entire
story in a notebook months ago. Now I get to type it all!
.....yay.....Enjoy!
A Month or so Later
Ami looks up at the ceiling of the kitchen and shakes her head. "Those guys have been up since they came here." She slowly yawns as she stirs the five cups of tea. "Wow, and it's three in the morning." She says as she glances at the oven clock, "They'll need this." She gently sets the hot cups on the silver tray and grabs some cookies from the cabinet. She carefully picks up the tray and slowly takes it up the stairs. As she approaches the door, she balances the tray on one hand and quietly opens the door. "Hey!" she tries to say cheerfully, trying not to show how tired she really was.
Quatre looks up at her and smiles, "Thank you for the snack. I'm sure they'll appreciate it."
Duo's tired eyes suddenly lit up with joy, "Ohh....food!" he says happily, shoving two cookies in his mouth.
Trowa looks at Ami and then at Quatre, "So...who's this?"
Duo immediately stops eating and looks at Quatre slyly, "Ya, Quatre. Who is it? Your girlfriend or somethin?"
"No, No! It's not like that." He replies laughing. "Ami was the one I told you all about. You know, the girl who was on the floor unconscious. She told me what happened to Relina."
"Ya, sure, Quatre." Duo says grinning evilly.
"So that's her." Trowa says. He gets up and bows, "Hello, I'm Trowa Barton."
Duo immediately pops up out of his seat and introduces himself, "Hey! I'm Duo!"
Hi! It's nice to meet you all." She says. She looks around the room slowly and glances at the teacups. "Weren't there two more people that were supposed to come, Qautre?"
"Oh yeah that's right. Hey, Duo, where did Heero go? Wasn't he here ten minutes ago?"
"He's got his brain stuck in that computer again." Duo replies, flopping back into his chair. "He's in the guestroom down the hall. Don't even try visiting him, he probably locked the door."
"Ok, that's one person..." Quatre says while taking his teacup. "Did Wufei come here at all, because I haven't seen him."
"He told me he was tired of killing weak, war crazed men." Trowa replies, "He said he wanted to start a new life; like the way it was before."
After that was said, everyone was silent. Wufei was always the obsessive one over justice and war, besides, Heero. Finally, Duo speaks up, "Well that's new...I didn't think Wu-man would be the first to chickin out." Everyone automatically bursts out laughing.
Trowa looks at the food and drinks that were barely touched, "you know, we shouldn't let this food go to waste."
Duo picks up his drink and grabs a few cookies. "Mmmm! These are great! Ami, how did you---" he quickly quiets down as he looks over at her.
Quatre, looks over at her too, "Awwww.....she's asleep." He quietly pulled out a blanket from the closet and gently lays it over her.
"You know, she's got a good idea. I'm gonna go to sleep too." Duo whispers while yawing. He grabs a pillow and flops onto the couch.
Trowa slowly gets up. He walks out the door and waves slightly, "Good night, everyone."
Quatre gets up. "Good night!" he quietly tiptoes out of the room and turns off the light switch. Then he walks down the stairs to his bedroom.
Several Hours Later
Duo sits up on the couch and stretches; "I feel ssooo much better!" He looks at his watch, "Oh my gosh! It's 9:00! I'm gonna miss my show!" he immediately jumps off the couch and runs down the stairs. As he reaches the TV, he trips on a chair and falls over. "Must... get...remote..." he crawls to the remote and turns the TV on. "Good!" It just started!" He climbs up to the couch and stares at the screen, eyes practically glued to it.
Quatre walks in hearing all the noise and sees Duo. He looks over at the TV, then at Duo, and then at the TV again. As if in a trance, he slowly walks over to the couch and sits down next to Duo.
A few minutes later, Heero comes in. He looks at the TV screen for a second, then stares at Duo and Quatre in confusion. "I can't believe---"
"Shhh!" Duo yells, "This is the best part!" He jumps up on the coffee table and pretends to pull a cape over his face. With an evil grin he repeats what the character is saying:
"I am vengeance...
I am the night...
I...am...Batman!" right when he finishes, the table snaps, and Duo comes crashing down to the floor.
Quatre bursts out laughing and watches Duo try to crawl back to the couch.
Heero stares at the horrified. He then leaves the room to the kitchen confused. As he walks in he sees Trowa, so he sits down across from him.
"What are they doing in there?" Trowa asks as he stirs a cup of coffee.
"They're watching Batman." He mumbles, rolling his eyes. "I can't believe a twenty-one year old would still watch cartoons."
"Well...that's Duo for ya." Trowa says.
As they listen to Duo annoyingly quote every word of the episode, they both hear a soft thumping going down the stairs. They look up to see Ami jogging down the stairs.
Ami looks over in their direction and waves, "Good morning." She says while walking into the kitchen. Seeing the coffee maker already on, she makes herself a cup of coffee and sits down with them.
Heero, not knowing who she was, gives her a death glare, "Who are you?" he demands.
"Oh, you weren't in there were you? This is Ami. The girl Quatre was talking about." Trowa looks over at Ami, "Ami, this is Heero."
"Nice to meet you." She says.
"Hn." Heero mumbles.
"Hey!!! Get off the screen! Duo screams from the other room.
Everyone rushes into the room to see what he was yelling about. They all stare at the screen as they see a woman sitting at a desk. No one can see who it is because her face is shadowed because of the dim lights in the room. She looks at them at grins evilly.
"Hello, boys, it's nice to see you again." She says calmly but very slyly.
"Who are you?" Heero demands.
"You will find that out soon enough." She says, pushing what seems to be blonde hair off her shoulder. "Now, let's get to business..." she starts saying. The camera slowly turns to another part of the room. It stops at young woman tied up in a chair. A small light from above shines on her to reveal who it is.
"Relina!" Ami cries out.
A muffled sound comes from the ties up Relina. You can barely understand what she is trying to say because of the gag over her mouth. The camera goes back to the shadowed villain.
"Ok, now listen up, boys. As you can tell, that's Relina Peacecraft over there. I'll send her free on one condition."
"And what's that?" Duo asks.
"We want you to surrender your gundams and yourselves to us."
"What?!" Quatre and Duo yell.
"And if we refuse?" Heero says calmly.
"Then Relina will be killed and we will destroy the earth."
"And just how are you gonna do that?"
"Easy." She replies. "Remember the cannon on Libra? We've built one bigger and more powerful than that one. It can blow up the earth in just two shots."
Everyone was silent. They had to surrender; there was no choice. Quatre sadly looks up at the TV screen, "Where do we go?"
"You will go to L1. If you aren't there in two weeks, then we will go on with our plans." As soon as she finishes, the TV went off.
"Well...I guess we should go..." Quatre says sadly, grabbing his jacket from a chair.
"Wait. Are we really just gonna give up and surrender?" Duo asks in confusion. He then snaps his fingers, "Just like that?"
"I guess so..." Trowa replies, "There's no way to fight back............or is there?"
Everyone is silent as they think. Maybe there was a way to save Relina, the world, and themselves, without losing one or the other.
Heero looks around the room as he thinks of different strategies. He suddenly looks at Ami. She was sitting on the couch, also thinking of something. She didn't know them much but she knew Relina. She really wanted to help. He could see the concern and worry in her eyes. "There might be a way..." he says.
