            The day that the final phase of Operation Annoyance was to commence dawned with the gang camped out in the living room--as usual. Relena had gotten her hands on a roll of duct tape in the middle of the night and had duct taped everyone to the objects that they were sleeping on.

            Zechs awoke first, only to find himself duct taped to the floor. He twitched. "Relena!"

            Relena slanted over to Zechs and batted her eyes at him. "Yes, dear bother?" there was something in her tone that was way too sweet, and would probably make anyone go running for the hills…if they weren't duct taped to something, that is.

            Zechs twitched again, waking up Noin, who was also duct taped to the floor. She yawned hugely and blinked owlishly up at Relena… Then she noticed that she was duct taped to the floor. She twitched…several times. "Why am I taped to the floor?"

            Relena just smiled at them…then slanted off to go wake the others.

            Heero, by this time was already awake though and was working on gnawing his way through the duct tape.

            Quatre was still asleep, the teacup from the previous night duct taped to his hand, while he was duct taped to the squashy couch.

            Dorothy was duct taped to the end table that was by Quatre's couch, and she was mostly asleep.

            Trowa had ended up getting duct taped to the wall in a sitting-up position. He was awake, but trying to look like he was asleep in hopes that still-caffeined-Relena would just leave him alone.

            Catherine was still in an extremely deep sleep and was duct taped to a chair by the table in the kitchen.

            Duo was so asleep that he was snoring slightly. He was duct taped to the floor, where he had sprawled himself the previous night.

            Hilde was still asleep; duct taped to the floor and sprawled next to the slightly-snoring-sprawled-Duo.

            Wufei was duct taped to the big recliner that he had fallen asleep on and had his sword duct taped to him. Wide awake and fuming.

            Sally was duct taped to the entertainment center and was in a light dozing sleep.

            The fake peacefulness of the moment was suddenly shattered when…

            Relena blew a loud, high-pitched whistle and everyone's heads snapped up, even Duo's. She looked at them all and smiled politely (though it looked rather evil with that glint in her eye.) "Today we commence the final phase of O.A.," she said, sounding very much like a commanding officer briefing troops.

            Duo rolled his eyes. "We know that already! Why are we duct taped?"

            Relena looked annoyed at Duo. "Because you need to get familiar with it…it has a key roll in my plan." She smiled that polite-yet-evil smile again.

            Heero's eye twitched. "Your plan? Duct tape has something to do with your plan?"

            Relena nodded…and then launched into full "briefing" mode.

            An hour later found Operation Annoyance en route to the telemarketers' head quarters….
