I don't own Gundam. Poo...

??????????
Anita cocked her head to one side. "Eh?"
Instructor H smiled wickedly. "I said you're the new pilots. Congratulations. Your training begins tomorrow."
"Training for what?" Winona asked.
"For the war to come," Doctor J said. "Now, if you ladies will follow me, I will take you to your Gundams."
"Really?" Michelle asked. "Are we really the next pilots?"
"Of course," Doctor J snorted. "D'you think we didn't notice your talents? We may be old, but we're certainly not senile."
"Yeah right," Duo muttered under his breath. For that, Doctor J whacked him over the head with his cane. "OW!" he cried.
"Respect your elders," the doctor reprimanded. "Now please, we're wasting time. You're gundams are waiting." He started to hobble away.
"But what about the others?" Winona asked, jogging up to him. "They will want to see the rosters."
"Melina is going to stay out here to greet them." Melina began to protest. "No buts, Melina. You already have your gundam."
"But I don't want to stay out here alone," she muttered.
Quatre smiled. "Duo would be happy to stay here with you." He pushed Duo next to her.
"Hey, wait." He felt uncomfortable under Melina's cold glare.
"Have a good time Maxwell," Heero called. Duo could see faint signs of a smile on his lips.
Soon, they were alone with nothing but the sound of Fluffy's whimpering to keep them company. The dog had started to follow his mistress as she walked to the hanger, but Anita told him to stay with Melina and Duo. Bored, the dog lay gazing at the fresh glazed donuts with large eyes.
Melina found a seat and set it close to the table to keep an eye on the gate entrance. She glared at it out of the corner of her eye, watching everything and everyone who passed by. She glared harder as Duo passed in her line of vision, watching him until he passed. He too watched her, until her glare became too hard for him to see. It was like looking at a sterner Heero, if such a person was alive. He chose the opposite side of the long table and slouched down on the dirty concrete. He needed to think. Never in the history of his existence had he ever screwed up when it came to women. How had he lost her before he had her?
The remaining four girls followed the boys and doctors into the dim hanger. They saw glimpses of the other gundams; menacing glimpses of Deathscythe's double-bladed scythe, Sandrock's deadly sickles, human sized ammunition yet to be loaded into Heavyarms' gattling gun, Altron's dragon fang curled around the gundam's legs, Wing Zero's Twin Buster Rifle gleaming in the strip of light that shone down upon it. They amazed, and scared the four girls. They wondered if they too would wield weapons as deadly as these.
"Beautiful, aren't they?" Wufei asked, brushing his hand over the Fang's head as if it were a live pet. He smiled at the girls. "I wouldn't part with Altron for the world's treasures."
"Can you really get that attached to your gundam?" Joann asked.
"Yes," Quatre replied for Wufei. There was a glimmer of sadness in his eyes. "You begin to think of it as your only friend in the world. Of course-"he smiled at the girls- "true friendship can keep those bonds at bay."
Anita grinned at him and gave him a hearty thumbs-up. "Don't worry. I won't become too attached to my gundam. Now where is she?"
Quatre cocked his head as if to say, "she?" but Anita had already run past him and the rest of the group in search of her gundam. She began calling out "gundam! Where are you, my gundam!" in search of it. Michelle, Joann, and Winona followed her, leaving the male pilots and doctors trailing behind them.
Winona scanned the walls for a light switch. In the dim light, it was hard to tell a scrap of metal from the foot of a gundam. She raked the wall with her hand while the others stumbled over fallen parts. "Found it!" she called, and flipped on the lights. The room blazed to life with halogen lights that blinded everyone for a moment. When they could see again, they stared in awe at their new gundams.
"Oh," Anita gasped, moving toward one of the mecha. It was painted silver, with hints of ice blue on its head, torso, wrists, and feet. In its large hands were two ice blue handled swords made of a material that shone brightly in the light. "It's beautiful."
"Pick any one you want," Professor G said, waving his hand to indicate the new gundams. "Give them names, if you want."
Anita slapped her hand against the foot of the silver gundam. "Mine."
"That was quick," Heero muttered.
"It's pretty," Anita said.
"Won't be after a few space battles." He almost grinned.
Anita glared at him. Heero glared back. The others backed away, hoping to avoid being in the direct line of their staring contest. Michelle stared at each gundam individually, and then took a long look at the red, black, and silver one.
"Can I have this one?" she asked.
"We're sorry," Instructor H said. "But that's Melina's Hellspawn. She claimed it before it was even built."
Michelle stared longingly at the spiked knuckled. "Aww..." she whined. "It looks so nice and dangerous. Melina's really lucky."
Trowa raised his eyebrows. "Lucky?"
"Yeah," she replied enthusiastically. "She's going to cause some serious damage with those things." She pointed to the knuckles. "And the spikes on the feet." She pointed to the feet.
"Melina added those," Doctor J pointed out. "As well as the wings."
For the first time, the girls noticed the bat wings stretched out behind the gundam. They were exactly like the ones on the Deathscythe. She even had a dual bladed scythe made.
"I would hate to have to fight both Deathscythe and Hellspawn in battle," Quatre said. "Good thing they fight with us."
"Yeah..." Michelle replied faintly. Looking at it again, there was something wicked about this gundam that made it too dangerous for anyone to pilot. "Has Melina flown it?"
"Occasionally," Professor G replied. "When it was being tested."
"I've got mine!" Winona cried. The girls raced over to see hers. She had chosen a gundam that looked like it was on fire. The entire body was painted in deep red, bright orange, and yellow streaks, with hints of a deep blue. On the shield on the right arm was a sunburst, from where the colors on the shield spread out. In its left hand was a glaive, the blade made out of the same material on Anita's swords and Hellspawn's scythe. "And I have a name."
"Not some cute name like "Starburst" I hope," Heero growled. "I won't fly with a gundam called Starburst."
"That sounds like a name for a horse," Winona replied. "I'm calling her the Fallen Star."
"Not bad. Better that Starburst."
"I guess I'll take this one," Joann said, placing a hand on the foot of the gundam opposite the Fallen Star. It was entirely black, except for the helmet, shield, knuckles and feet.
Instructor H grinned. "That's a very special gundam. It took us a while to develop the cloaking system. "
"Cloaking system?" Joann looked at him strangely. Her eyes lit up. "You mean it can become invisible?" "Yes," replied Doctor J," if only for a short period of time. " "Awesome." She began to examine the large shuriken resting beside the foot. "You shall be the Jade Phantom."
Michelle's voice floated over to them from the other side of the hanger. "I guess this one's mine. It's very pretty." Joann raced over to admire he sister's new gundam. It was a swirl of different hues of blue. There were shades of green blue mixed with sapphire and navy in contrast to the aquamarine of the knuckles and feet. A silver trident rested against the gundams body, its points gleaming in the lights. "Awesome," the younger sister exclaimed. She moved to examine more of the body. She frowned. "Hey, the colors move."
"This one is built more for underwater attacks than deep space, "Doctor J explained. "The colors help it blend in."
Michelle grinned wickedly. "Cool. I shall call you Oceana."
"Now that everyone has their gundams, the boys will start training you on the basics, from controlling your gundam to actual space combat. You will each be trained to repair them when they are damaged, or find someone who is loyal enough to fix them without telling everyone they meet. Understood?"
The girls nodded.
"Good. Now I believe there are coffee and donuts outside. So enjoy yourself for the time being. Starting next week you will begin your training." Doctor J hobbled away, followed by the rest of the scientists.
"Well, shall we join Melina before she rips Duo's head off?" Anita asked.
"That's a good idea," Winona laughed.

Finally done! I've been so busy lately that I haven't found time to update, but now I do have time! YAY!!!!
If you like some this, please read some of my other works. You might enjoy them. I have another Gundam fic staring these same characters, so if you've grown attached to any of my new characters, please read Chibi School. JA!
