Chapter 4
A/N this is a memory of heero's from while he was on the mission with duo.
Disclaimer still holding okay???!?!?/
Inside the cockpit of a jet Heero unbuckled a few straps and pushed the button to open the canopy. With his index and middle finger Heero kissed his lips and then brushed them by a picture of Relena he had on his dash between the meters. Hopping up out of the seat behind him was Duo, rambunctious as ever.
"Nice flying today, man! Stayed low and fast, thanks to your good luck charm we made it another day!" Duo joked as he flicked at the tip of his helmet and swung himself out on to the landing ramp beside the plane. Heero climbed out slowly and let the braided man ramble on. As soon as Duo stopped chattering to catch his breath, Heero grabbed at Duo's collar and clamped a hand over his mouth, before his chatty friend could gain his second wind.
"Thanks. Now let's go de-brief and grab some food." With an eager nod from Duo, the two set of in the direction of their bunker. During dinner, Heero's thoughts kept drifting to the picture of Relena, and of how he had told her that he would be back within four months at the most. He tightened a strap on his uniform, to tighten the waistband, and stretched as he stood.
"Done yet?" he asked with a huff as Duo sat, still shoveling food into his mouth. With the spoon still in his mouth, Duo gave his messy haired companion a thumbs up and picked up his tray. The two walked the length of the mess hall and dumped their trays out in a waste basket near the door. Wufei walked by just as they exited the building and Duo shouted his usual greeting.
"HEY 'FEI! WHAT YOU BEEN UP TO WU-MAN??"
Heero swore he could have seen Wufei mentally snap as the Chinese boy pivoted on his heels and barked out at Duo.
"How many times do I have to tell you?!?!?It's WUFEI! Not 'Fei, not Wu-man, or Wu-mister and not Fei Fei!"
Duo pretended to listen and then patted Wufei's shoulder, reassuringly.
"Whatever you say Wuffy."
"DAMN YOU DUO! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
Duo yelled out in alarm as the pilot of the Shenlong Gundam launched himself at him.
"...Shit...." Heero mumbled as Duo went down under Wufei.
All those who had been present in the mess hall now lined the windows, and stood trailing out the doors. The yelling, hooting and betting started almost immediately, along with the whispers of conversation.
"Who's fighting?"
"Some higher ups."
"Are they supposed to do that?"
"Aren't those the Gundam pilots?"
"Ex-pilots." Heero muttered under his breath as he watched Wufei kick Duo's ass. Not even attempting to stop the two, Heero kept listening to the greenies and lower ranking soldiers talk.
"Well that explains it doesn't it."
"Shouldn't we stop them?" a recruit asked.
"Not unless you got a death wish; those guys are the former Gundam pilots!"
"Damn! Even the little one can throw a punch!"
Finally Heero got tired of the little feud, and grabbed the top of Wufei's slacks. He held on and prevented Wufei from going after Duo any more. Unfortunately, Wufei wasn't finished. He swung up and hit Heero in the jaw with a fist. Duo yelled
"HEY! He isn't in this, Fei Fei!"
"Shut UP, BAKA!!!" Wufei growled as he tried to get at him again, but Heero still held on. Soon enough the three boys where fighting each other, each trying to kill the other.
Somewhere along the line an officer had called over Sally Po, Director of the Preventors. She took one look at the melee and screamed at the top of her lungs
"What the HELL do you three think your doing?!!!?"
Recognizing the screech of the only woman Wufei had an inkling of respect for, he immediately let go of the body he was trying to trounce. Duo fell to the ground with a thump, and Heero let go of Wufei.
"All of you, back to your bunks!" she yelled out to the spectators. "And you three! What the hell do you think your doing? Wufei, have you done the filing of our last mission yet? And Duo and Heero! You two have a mission tomorrow morning!"
Each of them scrambled up and stood at attention.
"Uugh.... I never could control you guys, wild you all were....just move on, but next time you have a fight, do it in private or I'll get you all!" Sally Po laughed and walked away with Wufei lecturing him the whole way.
Duo stifled a giggle and Heero straightened his collar and brushed back his un-ruley hair.
"..."

Flopping down on a bunk near the door Heero pulled out letters ,and another picture of Relena. He also placed a "care package" down, beside the letters. Ripping open the newest letter in the bunch Heero proceeded to read.
Dearest Heero,
How are you doing? It's been almost 4 months since you've been gone and I'm eagerly waiting for your homecoming! Classes at school are going well, except for one professor who seems to...ahhh...favor hoe and beat him for me?
Every night I wish that your mission would end and you could come home to me. Dot says hi, oh! And did I forget to mention her Fiancee says hi too!
That's right Quatre and Dorothy finally decided to get engaged! He seems to be happy and Dot and him are always gone!
The letter went on like that for a while and Heero let every word sink in right up to the end when he read the farewell he savored each time he read it.
Remember I love you, my Hee-chan
Love Relena
The care package contained some cookies and a book that Heero particularly enjoyed. As the crinkling of cellophane shot thru the air Duo popped his head over and shouted
"Hey buddy! Another package from Relena???"
Heero grinned and handed the box of cookies over. Duo's bunk was right above his and since Duo was a bottomless pit, any care package with food in it was to be shared. With a lopsided grin Duo accepted the peace offering and started to munch away. Heero snatched a cookie away to nibble on and started to stare at Relena's picture once more.
"Why the hell don't you marry the girl?" Duo interjected suddenly.
Heero looked at his partner with steeley eyes and calmly stated
"She's a peace craft and I'm a warrior. It doesn't mix."
This was the argument that he gave every time marriage was brought up between the two lovers.
"Right whatever. Still you two should get hitched." Duo argued
Heero reached up and yanked on the exuberant man's braid.
"HEY HEY! Watch the braid!"
"...Baka..."
Tossing the empty box of cookies, along with a dirty shirt, Duo turned over and started to snuggle down into the blankets of his bunk. Heero closed his eyes and was about to do the same when an explosion shook the ground of the bunker! Both shot up out of their bunks and, grabbing clothing, ran to the door.
"What the hell??"
" Damn it all! I wanted sleep!?!?!"
