Note: Oh my. It's been quite a while since I last updated huh? I am so dreadfully sorry! for those of you who are still with me, thank you so much for your patience! You have no idea what five AP classes on top of college applications can do to a girl who has no sense of organization(me)! ^^"""""" As to the story, I've been just about stuck when it comes to the plot. Therefore, I will open it up. If you have any suggestions as to how the plot should go, please speak up! ^^
Special Thanks to: Noisulli, Tiomoid (uhh sorry but i don't plan on bringing Hilde in at all cuz well um.. I'm the author! yeah! Well no, it's just I can't think of a way to bring her in. And she wouldn't really fit...), Misty, and Chibi Mi-Chan (lol yeah about the tenses... I've always had trouble w/ that. I'll try to avoid switching but if i do, please bear with me! ^^""") for your reviews! ^^

The Sixth Pilot
"Wait, run this by me again. I work for OZ to... what was it you said? oh yeah... handle opposition problems?" Duo frowned slightly. "Are you saying I kill people?" He looked questioningly at Medea.
Medea sighed audibly and sat down opposite him. "Yes Duo. You kill people. Is that really so hard a concept to understand?"
Duo's frown deepened. He couldn't see how he could have ever liked this girl. She's so... impatient. But then, maybe she's just having as hard a time getting used to the "new" him as he is getting used to his "old" self. He looked closely at her. The dwindling light of the day brought out sharply the tired circles under her eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Her voice was hard and reproachful.
Duo quickly stopped looking at her. "Nothing." He muttered. "I was just thinking."
Medea sighed again and stood up. "Well, it's getting dark and I'm tired. I'll see you tomorrow Duo." Without a glance at him, she left his room.
Duo followed her with his eyes as she left. It's strange. Did he really love this woman? A sudden sadness skirted around his mind. He picked up the schedule she had given him. Tomorrow, he'll meet with his superiors and receive his first set of orders. Fun.

"I'm going to go to bed. Good night." Eirene shut down her computer. "Your room is the one on the right. Okay?"
Heero nodded and continued typing.
---
Why can't I sleep? Duo looked at the clock: 4:09 a.m. Great. I've been awake almost 5 hours! He turned in his bed. For some reason, his mind just won't go to sleep. Fragmented thoughts buzzed noisily around in his brain. None of them made any sense. He turned again in his bed. This is an excellent way to prepare for his first day back to work.
4:10 a.m.
4:30 a.m.
5:30 a.m.
Duo's mind finally calmed and he drifted into an unrestful sleep.
---
He opened his eyes to find a blurry outline standing over him, a gun aimed directly at him... The resounding shot of the gun filled his ears...
Duo jerked roughly awake.
7:12 a.m.
---
"You are late!" Medea hissed across the car at him.
Duo sat in his seat and closed the door. He decided ignored her statement. "I had a weird dream last night..." He began, somewhat hesitantly.
Medea's expression softened. "Oh? What kind of dream?"
"I'm not sure. It was all in flashes. All I can remember is someone standing over me and pulling a trigger..." He paused, uncertain. "Is that how I don't remember anything?"
Medea smiled. This is perfect. Putting on a sweet voice, she put her hand on Duo's. "Yes Duo, that's what caused you to lose your memory. The person who did that to you, her name is Eirene."
