Duo was sitting on the floor humming placidly to himself. Wufei, who was sitting three feet away and trying his best to meditate, was grounding his teeth in annoyance.

"Maxwell!! For the love of Nataku will you shut up!?" Wufei yelled, finally giving in, just a little, to his desire to strangle the braided fool whom he had the great displeasure of being confined with.

"Sorry Wu-man! I'll try to be quiet!" Duo chirped cheerfully. How he could be cheerful, while imprisoned in an OZ cell and most likely waiting for his death sentence to come, was beyond Wufei.

Wufei, however, was saved further contemplation because, at that moment the door to their cell opened and in stepped Lady Une.

"Gentlemen, I will give you one opportunity to discuss your mission. If you do not I will not be responsible for any harm that may come to you." She said briskly.

Wufei merely glared at her while Duo on the other hand piped up;

"Hey Une-chan? Have you gained some weight? You're lookin' a little bit pudgy!"

Une glared at him for a moment before nodding to the guards at the doorway and exiting the cell. The door slammed shut behind her and the guards advanced upon the Gundam pilots.

"Why, in seven hells, do you insist on baiting her like that?" Wufei fairly screamed at Duo as they tended their various wounds in the safety of the closest safe house.

"Always love your enemies- nothing annoys them so much." Duo stated simply, applying a band-aid to a cut on his cheek.

"Gods above, you're annoying!!" Wufei said looking pleadingly to the ceiling.

"Which reminds me!! Une-chan should be getting her gifts by now." Duo said applying a little antiseptic to a cut on his cheek.

Lady Une sighed as she sat heavily into her chair. Why did Duo have to be so. Duo-ish!! She thanked her lucky stars he wasn't in OZ, but then again they really could use a few more people like Duo.

To distract the base while they made their getaway, Duo had made every security camera in the entire two mile radius of their base play *porn* of all things. And not just porn, noooooo it *had* to be *gay* porn. Needless to say there was hardly a face that wasn't wide-eyed and blushing in the entire base. Then, Oh Gods, the *music*. It was some god awful theme song to a pre-colony children's show, blasting over the speakers.

//I love you//

//You love me//

//We're a happy family//

Lady Une shuddered; she hoped never to get on Duo Maxwell's bad side. But then again, she might already be considering that they were on opposite sides of a war.

A knock sounded at her door, breaking her out of her reverie.

"Enter." She said in a tone that implied 'If it's not important, your ass is dead'.

A messenger came in holing a large assortment of flowers.

"Delivery. It said 'To Une-chan' and I assumed it was you, Lady." Lady Une took the arrangement and motioned for the messenger to leave. In the center of the bouquet was a small card. Curiosity now thoroughly peeked Lady Une unfolded the note, and smiled at the amusing message.

Une-chan,

You can't win a war without a sense of humor. Lighten up.

-Duo Maxwell, God Of Death
