I wrote this chapter quite a while ago, so I don't doubt there are quite a few mistakes. Unfortunately I don't have time to fix them, soâ€. Please bear with me - It gets better.

Heero, Trowa, Duo, and Relena all went downstairs. Duo went to sign them out of the hotel leaving, Heero and Relena to talk to Trowa.

"How is it working out?" Trowa asked, jumping directly to the point. Heero and Relena exchanged glances, waiting for the other to answer.

"Fine." Heero finally said. "She is alive isn't she?"

Trowa looked less serious then usual. "That isn't what I meant." Heero looked at Relena as if saying "your turn." She blushed a little.

"We are ok. It's just kinda different" She didn't want to say how she really felt about the whole thing.

"Different?"

Relena looked back to Heero as they were nervously taking turns answering. Heero just glared at Trowa, who was obviously trying to play with them.

Trowa turned and looked at Heero, "I thought your apartment only had one room."

"It has no rooms now" He said trying to dodge the question, but wound up making Relena feel terrible at the same time. Heero noticed and started to say something, but got cut off by Duo.

"All done!" Duo said, coming back.

The four of them walked outside. It was another nice day and a slight breeze was blowing.

"Noin wants to call a meeting and so we'll go in Trowa's car." They all got into the silver topless car. It was a long drive to the office building with a meeting room the preventers could use.

Everyone stood around the preventer's office nervously. It was very cramped because of the building lacked of open rooms. They had a cheep coffee maker and a few assorted plants. The table was so big there was barely any space between it and the walls.

"I don't know how they even got this thing into the room." Commented Duo as he tried to make it to a chair. He finally kind of tripped into a chair and stayed there. "Could they have given us a worse room?"

"No." Noin said sadly, "This was the only room they had."

"If anyone attacks us in this room," Trowa said, "We're all dead." He made it to a chair with no trouble. Though he did walk over the table.

Heero and Relena sat down near the door in case they needed to make an escape.

"We have four of the Gundam Pilots and Mr. Milliardo here," Quatre said trying hard to make it to the back chair. "There shouldn't be any problem."

"Actually," Said Sally cheerfully. "Wufei will be here too." She followed Trowa's example and climbed over the table, but she fell into a chair with a thud. "We really need to get a better budget."

"Wufei?" Heero asked surprised as he watched Millardo struggling to get into a chair. He laughed a bit to himself and Relena glared at him for it.

"He has been helping us," said Noin climbing onto the table, it seemed the best way to move around. "He is just kind of"

"A loner?" Sally finished.

"Exactly," she said as Milliardo gave her a hand into the chair.

"Well, he's going to be late if he doesn't get here soon." Milliardo said, glaring at Heero from the other end of the table.

"Is this everyone?" asked Duo. He counted heads, Noin, Milliardo, Heero, Relena, Trowa, Quatre, Sally, and himself. "What about Une?"

"She is working on a few other projects with the new recruits," said Sally.

"Figures," Duo muttered to himself.

"I want to know what is going on," declared Milliardo. "Let's start without Wufei." Everyone nodded.

"First I want to know," Heero said, still glaring at Milliardo. "Who is Vert?"

Milliardo looked serious and had just opened his mouth to start, when the cell phone on Sally's belt went off.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Sally, everyone needs to get out of that room now," Wufei said urgently.

"Why?"

"Five men are coming up the building with hidden guns. I can't stop them without alarming the whole building."

"And almost everyone else in the building is a civilian. Gotcha." She lowered the phone for a second. "We need to get out of here now!" she said, climbing over the table. Everyone started to scatter, trying to get out of the crowed room. "Can you tell what direction they are coming from?"

"You're on the fifth floor right?" He asked following the five men. "They are in the elevator. They look like normal businessmen, but I got a hint of a gun."

Everyone got out of their chairs through Trowa's method. Heero and Milliardo grabbed Relena's arm at the same time.

"They are almost on your floor!" Wufei said loudly through Sally's phone so everyone heard.

"How are we going to get Relena out?" Quatre asked concerned.

Heero looked around the room. There was no way to make it out. The men were too close and floor was too high up. All they had was the huge table.

"Everyone else leave. Relena and I will hide under the table." Heero said talking out his gun. Milliardo glared. "They might recognize me if I walked out and you wouldn't fit under the table as well, Zechs," he said, pulling Relena under the table. "You all need to get out now."

Trowa led, leaving the room and everyone followed and they gathered in a group and stood not far from the door. "Yeah. It was a great movie." He said somewhat loudly, at least for him anyway.

Everyone looked at him strangely, until Quatre caught on. "It was the best I've seen in a long time," he said, as five men businessmen walked down the hall.

"Maybe we should see another one sometime," Sally said realizing, what was going on.

"Yeah, I think we should see something more fun next time though." Duo said loudly, as they all eyed the five men as they opened the door to the room. He caught the edge of a gun handle under one man's suit. The men looked into the room.

Relena and Heero sat under the table. She prayed that they couldn't hear her heart beating so fast and Heero kept a tight grip on his gun, trying to hold his breath. They could hear the men walking into the room.

"Excuse me," Sally said, coming towards the men, "Can we help you?" She was doing a wonderful job of acting normally.

"Yes." one man said. "Was there a meeting in this room?" he asked faking as well as she was.

She tipped her head, acting surprised, "The one with Miss Peacecraft? Yes, but it got out quite some time ago I think."

The man looked surprised and dismayed. "Oh. We need to speak to Miss Peacecraft. It's very urgent, do you know where she went?"

"I heard something about colony A3421." she said helpfully.

"All right." He smiled. "Thank you, madam." He signaled to the other men and they all started leaving.

Relena and Heero crawled out from under the table.

"That was wonderful, Sally!" Relena exclaimed, getting up.

"Not shabby." Said Duo. "You really got that guy!"

Sally smiled proudly as Wufei walked into the room. "And you said that acting class would never pay off."

Heero turned and looked at Milliardo. "Now, who is Vert?"

"Vert," Milliardo said taking a breath, "Is the name of one of the commanders who destroyed the Cinq Kingdom when our father was ruling. He was killed a little later, but he had a son who looked almost exactly like him."

Everyone stood quietly.

"So that's it?" asked Heero. "He wants to destroy the next ruler of the Cinq Kingdom and because you already gave up your right, they are after Relena."

"You'd think we would have figured it out faster." Duo said, holding his head.

"Well, if that's it, I think we should go." Heero said looking at Relena. She looked back at Milliardo though.

"Why don't we all go out to lunch?" asked Quatre. "The group is now going to an entirely different colony, so we don't have to worry for once."

"Quats got a point." Duo said, putting his arms behind his head, "and besides that, you've been keeping her all to yourself." He winked. "The rest of us want to see Relena too, ya know."

"Where should we go?" Asked Relena, making sure Heero couldn't veto the idea.

"There is a really nice restaurant down the road." Quatre said happily. "We could all go there."

"As long as someone else is paying I'll go anywhere." Duo said far too loudly.

"We knew that." Wufei said from the corner.

"Well, let's go then." said Relena happily.

After a confusing carpool, they all, somehow, made it to the same place, got a table, and ordered the food. Milliardo had worked hard so that Relena and Heero were sitting as far away as possible, without being at a separate table entirely, though Milliardo would have preferred that as well. Relena, who was enjoying his company, didn't seem to notice, but Heero did.

"Heero?" asked Quatre, breaking Heero from his train of thought. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." He said, picking up his ice water.

Quatre gave a concerned look.

"Quatre, everything is alright." Heero said almost annoyed. "Relena and I are getting along fine."

He smiled. "I'm sure you are, but Duo has been talking about you being a bit over protective."

"I'm just trying to keep her safe."

Quatre didn't want to argue with him and already knew it wasn't doing any good, so he stopped.

Afterwards the whole group broke up. Milliardo and Noin drove Heero and Relena home, while Sally and Wufei took a different car, and Duo, Trowa, and Quatre all went back to Quatre's house.

"So what do you think?" Duo asked jumping onto one of Quatre's couches.

"I think that Heero is being too shy," Trowa said thinking of their last conversation.

"You're no one to talk," Duo muttered just loud enough that Trowa could hear.

"Maybe not." Quatre said sitting down, "but I do think that they are getting along fine."

Duo laughed. "Almost too well. You should have seen earlier today. I never thought I had to worry about Heero laughing to death."

"He promised that he wouldn't dance with Dorothy though," Trowa said amused

"So you'd better find a date, Quat. Otherwise you know she'll be dancing with you."

"Speaking of which." Quatre said, changing the subject, "That is going to be really important to the project. Do you think Relena is ready?"

"They already signed the papers," Duo said, trying to find the most comfortable spot on the couch. "It's not like they can back out now."

"Yes they can," Trowa said, watching Duo jump around.

"It isn't until after the party that we know the project will work," Quatre said, also watching Duo.

"Well," Duo said, now upside down. "She'll be fine anyway. She's always good at this stuff. The only problem is the dancing part, but Trowa already is helping with that."

"I thought of something too," Quatre said, standing up. He walked out of the room and brought back a bag and handed it to Duo.

"Great minds think alike," Trowa said looking inside.

"So" Duo said, "That's a forth of it. I guess she's more ready then she thought. As long as Heero doesn't stress her out anymore, she'll be fine."
