*Sighs* This is . . . the last chapter . . . of Travels of the Trio, Gundam Wing. How sad. *cries* I had soooo much fun working on this!! I had soooooo much fun terrorizing the characters!! I—

Akkiko: Would you shut up and write already? *holds up paper fan*

Meg: Yeah, let's get going!! *holds up frying pan*

Kat: Geez, the author gets no respect.

Erikson: Neither does the bad guy!!

The three girls: Get OUT OF HERE, ERIKSON!!!!

Erikson: EEK!! *runs away, turns to readers* See? I'm right!

Erikson and Dorothy sat in the cafeteria of the underground bomb shelter. "Miss Catalonia, I must thank you again for helping me catch those three delinquents."

"Oh, that's quite alright. It was more Miss Relena's idea than mine to hire you."

"Yes . . . about her. She's not completely . . . sane, it she?"

Dorothy coughed. "Uh . . . no, no exactly." She checked her watch. "Well, do you think those three kids are done yet?"

Erikson chuckled. "Let's leave them for a little longer."

The two sat in silence for a few more minutes. Dorothy noticed Erikson turning slightly pink.

"Mr. Erikson, is something wrong?" she asked.

"Miss Dorothy. . ." Erikson stood. "I must say that your beauty has completely stolen away my breath! I know that you are devoted with your services to Relena, but I ask you—" He took one of Dorothy's hands and went down on one knee, "—I ask you to please, please come away with me!!!"

Silence.

Dorothy stared at him and started laughing. Erikson sweatdropped as she hammered her fist against the table and tears started flowing from her eyes.

When she had calmed down enough, Dorothy cleared her throat. "Oh, Mr. Erikson, you can be so amusing, really."

Erikson sighed. "I was being serious," he muttered.

"You . . . were? PBBBTTT!!" Dorothy fell off the bench, laughing with a new energy.

"Wow . . . she's laughing almost as hard as I did when you asked Aquia to the dance last year."

Erikson gasped and turned. There stood Kat, whose arm was linked with Heero's. Behind her were Meg and Akkiko, their arms linked with Duo and Trowa. Quatre and Wufei brought up the rear, holding an unconscious Relena.

Dorothy got a grip on herself and stood. "Miss Relena!!" she called. "Which one of you evil girls knocked her out."

"That would be me," Heero said. "Although I am neither a girl nor evil."

"Evilness is in the eye of the beholder!" Duo said brightly. Heero fixed the braided pilot with a glare.

"Duo?"

"Yes?"

"Shut up."

"ANY-ways. . ." Akkiko said. She reached behind her and raised a scythe. "Time for Erikson to go bye-bye."

Erikson gulped. "Uh . . . bye-bye." He vanished with a small puff of smoke.

Everyone blinked. "Where . . . did . . . he go?" Meg and Akkiko glared at Kat.

"How am I supposed to know?" the harassed Dark Angel said.

"HE'S YOUR MUSE!!!"

"AAH!!" Kat crouched down as Meg and Akkiko started yelling. "I don't know where he went!! Maybe he's in the next world we're going to!!"

Meg and Akkiko stopped. "We're going to another world?"

"Yeah, didn't I mention that?" Kat looked up. "I knew we were leaving this world to go to another since I had the Millennium Necklace!"

A vein pulsed in Akkiko's temple. "And you were telling us this . . . when, exactly?"

"A-heh-heh. . ." Kat sweatdropped. "Well, I think we've caused enough damage here!"

Suddenly they were outside. They blinked.

"How did that happen?" Meg asked.

Akkiko shrugged. "Whatever. Time to say goodbye." She turned to Trowa. "Good-bye, Trow—" She leaned in to hug him when Wufei pushed him out of the way.

"Let me make this clear, Barton," Wufei said. "I want the girl."

Silence. Quatre blinked. "Wait. Wufei is actually admitting he wants a girl."

Duo felt dizzy. "Whoa . . . brain . . . overload!"

Trowa glared. "Forget it, Chang! She's mine!"

Akkiko blinked. "Wow. This is the first time I've had two guys fight over me . . . COOLNESS!!"

Wufei drew his sword. "Draw your weapon, Barton!"

Trowa took out his gun. "Okay." And the battle ensued.

The bystanders all watched like they would a tennis match. Akkiko thought (A/N: Yes, she's thinking . . . AGAIN. Oooh. . .) 'Hmm, should I let them battle it out, making me look important until one of them is dead, or should I step in, stop the fight, and chose one of them the easy way? I tell ya, the first one is looking good right now.'

Meg leaned over to Kat. "Maybe we should just sneak away now, while we still can."

Kat nodded. "Hey Akkiko?"

Akkiko looked lost in thought. "Feh?"

"We're leaving now."

"What?!" Akkiko looked at Kat in mild horror. "I can't leave now! I have two men fighting life and death for me!"

Kat and Meg looked at each other. "Shall we?" Meg asked.

"We'd better, or we're not leaving for a while," Kat said. "Oh, Akkiko?"

"I'm not leaving!!"

"Okay, then, we'll give you two choices: leave of your own free will, or two. . ."

"What's choice two?"

"We knock you senseless, hog-tie you and drag you through all kinds of terrain until we end up in the next dimension we're visiting."

"Aah." Akkiko went into a 'thinking' position. Five seconds later. . . "After careful consideration, I have decided to take the first option."

"Because you don't want us to hog-tie you?" Meg asked.

Akkiko snorted. "No. You could never, in a million years, succeed in hog- tying me, and have even less chance to knock me senseless. I'm going of my own free will because. . ."

"Because?"

"Because there might be some really hot guys in the next world!!" Akkiko went all chibi.

Kat and Meg sweatdropped, and the three girls crept off, leaving Trowa and Wufei battling it out. Looking around, Heero, Duo and Quatre sweatdropped.

"Hey, where'd they go?" Duo said.

"Did they leave without saying good-bye?" Quatre whined. "How rude."

"Psst!" Meg hissed.

"Meg!!" Duo hugged her and gave her a kiss. "You came back!!"

"Yeah, but only for a second. Here's our numbers!" She handed over some slips of paper. "Call us! Bye!" And she was off again.

~~~

(Five hours later, a few miles from the bomb shelter)

Kat's cell phone rang.

"Oh, no." she whined. "I bet it's Bakura." Hitting a button on her cell, she said, "Hello?"

"Hi, Kat. It's Heero."

Kat stood for a minute. "MEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGG!!!"

Akkiko sighed and followed as she followed her two friends off, further away from their new boyfriends.

(A/N: Finished *cries* Oh, that was so much fun, but now, I am finished . . . good-bye, world of Gundam Wing!!)

Up next, the world of. . .

Akkiko: *smacks Kat* Don't give it away!!

Kat: OOWW!! Sorry!

Meg: Fine, Akkiko. YOU introduce the next world we visit!

Akkiko: *smiles* THAT . . . is a secret.

And THAT is the only hint we're giving you! Later days!!
