Sorry its taken me so long, school and junk, and writers block, and I'm trying to make this chapter long, so, hope you like! AND REVIEW! I want 5 reviews for this before I write a new chapter. Romance is going to come slow, and I have a plan, at least as much as I ever have one, but it will start a little in this chapter, but not much. And this chapter will also start to show exactly how good and serious a fighter Alanna can be, and the mystery man who seems to haunt her is starting to materialize a bit more. So, on with the show!

----

Heero and the others glared at Alanna.

"Hey, I've had to be invisible for the past couple years. I deserve a bit of fun."

"You're taking it overboard." She shrugged as they reached home and then her watch beeped, and Dr.X started yelling at her.

"GOOFING OFF...MORE SERIOUSLY....WAR NOT RECESS....DUTY!"

"Okay! I get it! I'll buckle down!"

"And leave Peacecraft alone." She stuck her tounge out

"Fine." she closed the watch "Duo, going to have to cancel that prank."

"Awww, guess I'll have to do it alone."

she looked at him apologeticly, the leaned back, sighing. Normally she was more responsible, but she kinda had wanted just to act like a kid, for once. Well, she did have some hacking to do, when she realised her laptop was in her gundam.

"Guys, I need to get to my gundam. I'll be back. Try not to kill eachother, I wouldn't want to miss that." she waved and ran off to where her gundam was hidden. She sighed as she climbed in and grabbed her laptop. She was sick of lying low, but with the previous stunt she pulled about a year ago, OZ, one general in particular, was sure to be watching her, or at least trying to. She sighed and started walking back, clutching her laptop. , She looked up at the sky wondering, not for the first time, what she would've turned out like if she'd've had a normal life. She shook her head, such thoughts were pointless, she needed to be thinking about her mission. She would have to figure out a way to keep Relena off her back, the mission was already complecated enough with the Gundam boys knowing, she couldn't afford Peacecraft finding out. Her training on planning started clicking in.

One, hack into OZ's database and try to figure out how much they knew about her and the boys and their gundams.

Two, start blending in, and report her findings to X.

Three, figure out estimates to possible times when battles might happen.

Four, run over the gundams, basic matience, make sure they haven't been tampered with...this went on until she got back, and because of it her face was a bit more serious then the gundam boys where used to. Quate was the first to see her when she came in.

"Alanna, is everything alright?" she blinked and shook herself out of it.

"Oh, yes, just thinking. I'll be in my room, and one disturbs me, and I'll make it seem as if Heero is a gracious host." she smiled at Quatre and walked off, Quatre sweatdropping after her.

"O-okay. Better go warn Duo." But that was unnessecary, for Duo was in a very stupid place. Alanna's room. She walked in to find him going through a drawer, muttering "Where can that damn photo be?" and not realsing she was there until she cocked her gun, he slowly turned around.

"Uh, hey Alanna. Heh heh. Um, just looking for, um," he glanced at the gun "Spare bullets! Yeah, just ran out, um, have any?" She threw a box of them at him. He hurriedly ran out.

"And Duo, I'm not stupid enough to leave something valuable like blackmail pictures in my room, and if I ever find you in my room again, I will give Wufei the picture." Duo turned blue and hurried out. She sighed, locked the door, checked for any bugs in the room, sat down, opened up her laptop and started hacking.

---------------------------------

"Where's Alanna?" Quatre asked.

"I think she's still in her room." Answered Duo, flipping through a manga.

"Really, its been almost five hours."

"Eh, girls." Duo shrugged. "No reason to get worried, I mean, she's probablly just looking at magazines, or polishing her gun." he shuddered."She can almost be as scary as Duo."

"Really? What did you do?" Quatre asked calmly. Duo laughed nervously.

"Heh, um, I was looking for the photos she said she had in her room."

"Duo, she's a highly trained agent, she wouldn't leave something like that just laying around in her room."

"I know, I found that out." he sighed. "Last time I hope for a miracle like that."

---------------------------------

Six hours after she began she finished, finding little, exept for the suspicion from a few things that were unexplained, like certain authorizations that didn't have reasons after them, and a few where sent a bit to close to her for comfort. "He's definitly planning something." she thought out loud as she streched.

"Who is?" out of instinct she had her gun out and aimed it at the person in the doorway. (A/N: should I make this a cliffie? heh heh. Nah, I've been gone for way to long to do that to you guys. You're lucky I feel guiltly)She sighed and put the gun away.

"Don't do that ever again Heero, or you might end up with a bullet in your head." she turned off the computer, and everything but the programs were erased.

"Who is planning something?"

"Classified."

"I have access."

"Not to this you don't. Its my department Yui. I'll tell you if it becomes neccecary." She stood up and streched again and walked out passed him "I'm going to go eat. And don't ever pick my lock again. And tell Peacecraft to stay out of my way, I'm not obligated to keep her alive with my mission perameters, though since she's your guy's mission, I'll give her a longer fuse." with that she was gone, and Heero though as he saw the laptop and shook his head.

^Stupid move^ he picked up the laptop and opened it, and frowned when he saw all files were erased. ^Maybe not.^ he turned off the laptop and put it back exactly as it was and walked out of the room.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

^I'm going to need to get some better locks for that door.^ She walked into the kitchen, which was empty, since it was very late. She opened the refridgerator door and dug through it, finally finding some stuff to make a sandwich with. She sighed as she sat down and ate it, remembering that General from OZ that wanted the information she had for his army, and her for himself. She felt a shiver up her spine. He was the one person she always treaded lightly around. He knew her too well, way too well. Running away was a mistake, one she would never make again. She was lucky she wasn't executed when she came back, but she was punished, severly. She sighed, she was sure that he was still looking for her, and that alone made her uneasy. She shook her head. All she had wanted was to experience life as a normal teenager, like the ones she had seen when on recon. Happy, no cares, The fate of the earth and colonies didn't involve them. But ever since she was little, she was trained, a few times with Heero, but no major contact, but she was told to observe him carefully, after it was decided he would be Gundam Wing's pilot, and she was chosen long before that to be a Gundam protector. She was raised to be a solider since age 6 or 7, but her personality and spirt had already taken a strong rooting, and they couldn't erase it without causing her such serious harm that she would become usless as a pilot or an agent, so they taught her to repress it. Which she normally did, but whenever there was the slightest chance to let it out, like today, she took it quickly. She sighed and finished off the rest of her sandwich. She was allowing herself time to dwell on things again, she really shouldn't do that. She looked up, and Quatre was standing right infront of her, she blinked, then slapped her forehead. Of course! The boys always had a guard, and right now was Quatre's hour! She should've waited for Duo. Then she might've been able to convince him to leave her alone, the other four were a different story.

"Well, at least you've eaten." Alanna nodded "So what are you thinking about?"

"Junk. Nothing concerning you, besides, Dr. X says its-"

"Classified." she smiled a little

"ya, classified, as is the rest of my life."

"Why?"

"Because the internal workings of the United Earth Sphere goes deeper than just you boys, it might even go deeper than me. Actually wouldn't suprise me that much. But, people are kept in the dark, quite frankly its a happier place."

"You'd prefer not knowing the truth?"

"Yes. I'll take your patrol tonight. Go get some sleep."

"No, you probablly should be the one getting some sleep."

"I'm your body guard, and technically, higher ranking than you, go to bed Quatre, I'm used to this sorta thing, at least one of us should get some sleep, and its not gonna be me."

"Its my watch hour."

"But I'm used to staying up all night, good night Quatre. You can go on your own, or I can usher you up there with bullets." Quatre sweatdropped

"Fine, fine." he walked up the stairs

Alanna sighed and took out her gun, then started walking around the mansion in a spefic manner, unknowing that she would meet up with the general who she had been worrying about in twenty-four hours.
