Tori: Here's the last bit of hitchhiker humor before I switch to that of the wry persuasion.

Ke: You're frickin' depressing.

Tori: Hey! It's not all sad!

            Heero got to choose first. He stepped up to a giant computer and watched as the faces scrolled past. "That one," he said simply and it stopped on a boy about fourteen years old with dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. A hologram of the boy appeared, along with his information.

            Name: Tobias Marshall

            Age: 15

            Location: Sicily, Italy

            Problems: 65% social, 30% personal, 5% academic, 0%home

"Why did it give a list of his types of problems?" the Perfect Soldier asked, bewildered.

"You have to help him either cope with or fix them. You're his guardian angel. You watch him like a hawk," God answered. Heero nodded and stepped to the side so the next person could go.

Wu Fei was next. He watched the faces intently before muttering "onna" and rolling his eyes. It stopped and the hologram of a Spanish woman appeared.

Name: Maria Nañita

Age: 18

Location: New York, NY

Problems: 90% social, 0% personal, 0% academic, 10% home

"I didn't mean to pick her! I just said 'onna'!" Wu Fei cried, turning an angry look on God.

"Good one, Nemesis," God smirked, giving Duet a discreet five.

"Looks like justice was served, Fei," the un-braided girl laughed and the Chinese boy stomped off to join Heero.

"MY TURN!" Duo declared and jumped up. He leaned in close to the screen, finger poised in front of it, and watched the faces. He watched for some time before jabbing at one. A hologram of a young girl with chestnut hair and blue eyes stood before them. She could have been a young version of either of the braided former-pilots, and Duet frowned in confusion as Duo smiled winningly.

Name: Rachel Falcon [AN: …bad joke… I know…]

Age: 14

Location: East Brunswick, NJ

Problems: 5% social, 95% personal, 0% academic, 0% home

"…like us in more ways than one…" he remarked, scratching his head and joining the two boys already on the sidelines.

Trowa, as insisted by Quatre, went next. He simply stated "child" and pictures of kids all under the age of ten appeared. Carefully, he selected a young girl with bright blue eyes and curly blonde hair.

Name: Donna Distano

Age: 5

Location: Versailles, France

Problems: 0% social, 0% personal, 0% academic, 100% home

The banged boy nodded once in acknowledgement and stepped back so Quatre could have his turn. The blonde watched the faces, then closed his eyes and held his right hand up to the screen. Everyone froze, watching to see what he would do, when suddenly his finger darted out and the faces stopped on a man in his early twenties.

Name: Kevin Jordan

Age: 22

Location: Anaheim, CA

Problems: 40% social, 55% personal, 0% academic, 5% home

Quatre smiled warmly and joined his friends. The five as one turned to look at God and Duet.

"Alright. I'll take you to them," the former Washi Ookami pilot frowned painfully and turned to lead them to the people they were to guard.

"WAIT!" a voice cried, and the seven froze.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Tori: Yes, another short chapter… I know.

Ke: Who yelled if seven people froze?

Tori: *smirks* You'll find out…
