Maggie yawned and opened her eyes, frowned when she saw it was the middle of the day... tried to get up... then remembered exactly WHY she was in bed in the middle of the day. "Owww...." she moaned. She turned over to see Bridget, already up in the other bed, raise an eyebrow pointedly at her nightstand. Maggie turned, then squealed, hands immediately reaching for the stuffed tiger sitting on it.
"Oooh!" She hugged it, seeing that the part of the tag which read, "My name is ________" remained blank. She reached over and grabbed her trusty pen, opening it with a decisive ::click::
She swiftly penned in the name "Trowa" and replaced the pen. Then she looked at Bridget, who obediently covered her ears.
"TTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAA!!!"
The other four guys and Julie, gathered downstairs, jumped in surprise, but Trowa merely grinned and moved toward the stairs. "She's up," he said.
"Thank you, Mr. Obvious," said Heero dryly, gingerly touching his ears.
"Trowa!"
He stuck his head inside. "That what you wanted?"
Maggie grinned at him over the tiger's head. "It's PERFECT."
He smiled at her. "Glad you like it." He started to leave.
Maggie's mind was racing. She heard Bridget's voice, ~ Trowa likes you, but you don't give him ANY encouragement.~
"Trowa, wait a sec!" she called. "Come here."
He came over and bent down obediently. She surprised him completely by throwing her arms around his neck and kissing his cheek with a broken, "Thank you."
He let his arms go around her waist for a minute to hug her, then let her go, said, "You're welcome," and left. He paused at the top of the stairs and listened. Sure enough, soon there was laughter... a thump... and he heard Maggie shriek, "Oh, screw you, Pidge, go away and leave me alone!" The last few words were muffled.
Trowa went down the stairs with a smile and said to Kat in passing, "You might want to go up there before Maggie kills Bridget."

About two days later, Heero called a Gundam meeting.
"Aw, c'mon, Heero, why do we have to have this stupid meeting anyway? Or at least why couldn't Julie come in?" Duo whined.
Heero looked at him coldly. "One: This meeting is important; we have a mission. Two: She'd be more of distraction, and you're distracted enough as it is. Three: Julie CAN'T come in because this is top secret, which is why I waited for the OTHER ONE to be confined to her bed to hold it." He glanced at Trowa out of the corner of his eye, who smirked.
Although the others sensed nothing amiss, Kat did, and asked hesitantly, "Just how dangerous is this mission?"
Heero sighed, which sent the others to full alert.
"Oh, crap, this is BAD," moaned Duo. "I mean, like, I better call my maid in hell and have her air out my rooms, right?"
Heero nodded grimly. "Chance of death: 49%. Chance of Capture: 49%. Chance of us getting out injured: 1.5%. Chance of us getting out unscathed: .5%."
"I'd say the odds are against us," Wufei remarked.
"Gee, ya THINK?" asked Duo sarcastically, definitely pissed. Heero looked over at Kat and Trowa. Kat was VERY pale, and Trowa... he SEEMED ok, but Heero knew his thoughts were upstairs as much as his own were with Relena....
~Whoa, where did THAT come from?~ he thought, quickly chasing it from his mind. He outlined the plan, and it became more obvious with each word that this was a suicide mission... because the Gundams would never allow themselves to be captured.
"It's set, then? We go?" asked Heero with only the barest hesitation.
"Go," said Wufei.
"Go," forced out Quatre.
"Go," said Trowa, face more blank than they had ever seen it.
"Go," sighed Duo. Abruptly he rose and went to go.
"Duo!"
He turned to Heero.
"Don't tell the girls... it will only make it harder."
Duo nodded... then, with a small shout of anger, punched through the wall and left.
Almost a week passed. Julie noticed something was wrong, but didn't press. Kat and Trowa couldn't bring themselves to stay in Bridget and Maggie's room for more than a minute at a time, but the girls were so out of it that they didn't really notice.
~*~ Hours until Mission: Three ~*~
A shadow snuck into Quatre's house, moving carefully. It moved to Duo Maxwell's room quickly, ready to leave him a note. Then, however, the man stopped dead in his tracks.
In front of him was Duo Maxwell and a girl... a familiar looking girl...for a moment he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him... then he realized the truth, and his fist tightened around the note he was holding.
"Julie," the man whispered, bowing his head for a second. Then he spun and moved to the warehouse that stored the Gundams.
A half an hour later he was slipping through the shadows again, his new ...personal... mission completed.
A/N: Alright, minna! Listen up. I need to know... who do you want to know about.... Quatre/Bridget, Trowa/Maggie, or Duo/Julie?
It WILL make the difference in the order of the next few chapters.... just so you know that.
Arigatou!
