Tori: More of the good stuff!
Ke: Where? *looks around*
Tori: -___-

"…Well, basically, you have to be guardian angels," Duet said and dared one of them to laugh.
"Guardian angels? WAHAHAHAHAHAHA…" Maxwell always was a daredevil.
"Go ahead. Laugh it up, but it's not as easy as it seems. You have to help these people."
Duo stopped laughing. "You mean, we actually have to stalk these people all day and make sure they don't slip on any banana peels of get a piano dropped on them?"
"No."
"Oh. Good."
"You have to stay with them twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. And if you're lucky and you get one that goes to church, that's when you can take a break."
The five boys exchanged looks, then pointed the new looks they'd just received at Duet who, with a look of her own, directed them at God. God nodded and they studied their spiffy new sandals.
Then, Trowa asked an intelligent question.
"Are we watching new babies?"
"You can if you want to."
"Well, I just thought they'd be the only ones without guardian angels…"
"Guardian angels don't stay with people all their lives unless they become especially attached. You only have to work off you debt."
Heero raised his hand. "What if our person dies?"
"Certainly a Heero question…" Duet frowned. "If your person dies of natural causes or something out of their control, then your job's over since such an experience leaves most angels a little traumatized. But if your person kills themselves or something, well…" She looked away.
"Well what?"
"…you fail. And you end up like me."
The boys' eyebrows twitched upwards in confusion.
"Y'all get banished to Earth and have to start all over again."
God nodded.
"But… You're up here in heaven, Onna," Wu Fei helpfully pointed out.
"I wasn't before that battle…"
"So, you're like… really old…" Duo observed, managing to raise one eyebrow higher than the other, which was quite a feat as they were already raised in confusion.
"Not terribly…" Duet replied.
"Well, having finished that less-than-informative discussion, let's set you up with some people, alright?" God smirked and the mood lightened a bit. It couldn't possibly be as hard as Duet was making it out to be, could it?
~*~*~*~*~*~
Really, really, really short… I know.
Tori: Okay, here it's going to branch out into the five pilots decisions. I'm debating whether to make this an arc and put them as separate stories and run the risk of confusing the hell out of people in the angst and romance genres.
Kegawa: Or she could keep it all together under this title and just name each chapter after whose POV it's from and the number. (ex: Heero's chapter 04)
Tori: Ah, I think that's what I'll do. But the problem is… how do I adjust the genre?
Kegawa: Stick it under general.
Tori: At times like this I could hug you…
Kegawa: ICK! You're my authoress! *makes cross with claws* Stay away! Save it for Talon!
Tori: And it's at times like this I could shoot you.
