Huggles to all my reviewers. I don't own Gundam Wing...just incase you didn't figure that out.

vvvvvv

The mansion glowed with soft Hawaiian sunlight, tinted with the cerulean sparkle of the ocean waves. Clinging of metals echoed through the halls, as the servants prepared a beautiful breakfast table for this morning's meal. At exactly 9:00, all had been seated on the massive dining table and Quatre's sister, Anna, rose to make a toast to her new guests.

"I'm truly excited to be able to treat you all here in my humble home. It is only a minor gift I can give you in return for all the sacrifices you have made to bring this peaceful era upon our world and I hope you will enjoy your stay here."

To that they toasted, and breakfast was placed before them in a blur of extravagant colors and smells. They discussed their group plan for the day, which in conclusion consisted of horseback riding near the bamboo forests and having a picnic in one of the many green fields of the ranch. From there they would ride down to the beach and spend time at the luau.

"Sounds great to me! So uh...who'll be packing the food?" Duo's full stomach still pondered to make sure it would be fed its next meal.

"I already have that taken care of, the kitchen is busy preparing your picnic lunch." Anna smiled softly.

"Aweso-OW!!!" The long haired boy began rubbing the area of his head where Hilde's hand had just hit.

"Jeeez babe what was that for?"

Hilde snorted. "Can't you get your mind off of food for just 5 minutes?"

"Sure I can," a devilish smile swept his face, as he pulled her closer to his seat beside her, "I was just thinking about how we can find a nice private space at the picnic stop. That's a lot of free time to use up you know..." She giggled, planting sweet kisses on his cheek.

Wufei rolled his eyes at the two. At this point you wouldn't be able to separate them with a crowbar...

"Cut it out Maxwell, before I loose all the food I just ate."

"Don't be jealous Wufers, I'm sure you'll get some for yourself once you actually admit your feelings for a certain, blonde..."

"SILENCE YOU BAKA!"

"Oh ya?Make me!"

"Your tongue extends the distance of the Great Wall of China you loudmouth , dishonorable..."

"Tut tut, such mean words. Not very impressive for the ladies. I don't think Sally would apprec-" his head jerked towards the side as he dodged Wufei's fruity missile that now left its mark on the wall.

"WHOA! Getting a little rough there, are you sure you don't want to save that for the-"

BAM!

Two poached eggs began sliding down the Duo's cheeks, after messily colliding with his face. Wufei apparently found this to be so funny that he didn't stop laughing until he felt a hard melon slice collide with his nose.

Now it was Duo's turn to laugh...

"YOU THINK THAT'S FUNNY, BAKA??"

"HELLL YAA!!!" Duo continued his laughing fit, all the while dodging foods that flew from Wufei's hands.

"Um...you guys maybe we should clean up and head out before it gets to-" Quatre was cut off when a bowl of oatmeal met his face, coming from the direction of his dear sweet sister...

"Pleeeghh, ukkhh, ug who?!..Anna!!?" Quatre's eyes widened at the site of his sister laughing uncontrollably.

"Hmph, two can play at that..." Picking up a pint of orange juice Quatre flung the contents at his sister, only to watch them come face to face with none other that Sally, who had bent forward in the way in an attempt to grab her glass of milk.

Wufei was once again laughing his ass off for about 15 seconds before Sally lunged at him with a dangerous plate of butter.

Her tackle knocked a container of pineapple juice all over Cathy, making her automatically commence with her plot to attack Sally with strawberry yogurt.

The war began...

Dorothy, who had tried to clean Quatre's face battled with Wufei, after being the victim of a cottage cheese onslaught. Trowa found this meekly amusing, but upon getting up to leave, was dragged in to the fight by 2 plates of grapes and a smiling Middie.

Heero decided to sneak away before he was covered in some slimy or sticky substance he was not all too fond of.

"And where do you think YOUUU'RE going hmm?"

He turned around to see a whole gang of discolored mutants, drenched with the juices of foods that did not mix well together. In their hands were more organic weaponry, of which they prepared to toss his way...

The bombardment began, ending miserably with a low quantity of food left on the table and a very clean Heero standing in the center of various smashed goods. His smile was just as triumphant as their frowns were disappointed.

"CRAP! YOU WEREN'T EVEN TOUCHED!" Duo's mouth was wide open, gaping at the retreating figure of Heero.

'Right, like I'd let you cream me with some oversi-'

WHAM!

Heero froze in his tracks as he felt what he assumed was a melon slice slide inch by inch through his collar and down his back...

Soft giggling could be heard as all eyes turned around to see Relena chuckling at her end of the table with several melon slices placed before her. She was untouched by flying foods as well.

"AHA! Another food fight survivor!!" Duo pointed at her accusingly.

"Not for long..." Heero's voice had a dangerously determined sound as he advanced toward her, making Relena squirm in her seat.

"Eeek! Uhh, well Anna! That was a great breakfast! Thanks for the entertainment guys, uh I'll be out back until your done cleaning hehh." Jumping out of her seat she dashed towards the door leading to the outside fields, with Heero hot on her trail.

"AFTER THEM!" The food monsters followed behind, anticipating some entertainment of their own...

Relena's feet carried her swiftly across the orange tree garden, past the orchard, through the forest, and near the flowing river. She felt the swift footsteps behind her, but she didn't dare turn around, fearing the sight of which she may lay eyes on.

'Gosh! He should have caught up by now! Maybe he's being easy on me on purpose...either that or my track and field classes weren't a complete waste...'

Her heart raced faster than her working legs as she finally ran into a small forest and strategically placed herself behind a tree, located 4 feet beside the river below her.

'I don't hear anything, maybe I lost him'

She stood there for a little more , body tense but slowing her breathing to an almost silent pace. The quiet of the surroundings were almost haunting. The singing of birds was the only thing calming her jumpy behavior as she stood there waiting.

'NO WAY! He is so up to something. If he was really trying to get me, he would have had me the second I got out the door! What is Heero doing?'

She peeked behind the tree, but found nothing unusual about the sight of green grass, bushes, tall trees and flowers. It was quite a pleasant view, since sunlight squeezed through the clasp of leaves, lighting up the patch of flower in the center of a tiny clearing of trees.

'He's here I just know it, he must be very close by waiting...but for what?'

She waited for about 6 more minutes until her patience ran out. She couldn't wait there forever, she would face whatever was there in store for her rather than hide like a coward. Creeping out slowly she walked a few paces here and there, anticipating a sudden attack. But nothing came. Sighing, she lazily walked towards the river and kneeled above the 5-foot deep water below her. The flow was calm and soothing, making her eyelids droop slowly.

A terrifyingly loud scream shattered the serenity of the forest. The coldness of the water around her stung at Relena's skin as she rose up to see herself floating in the river after falling over her little seat above.

Falling?...no...more like being pushed!

She raised her head to dark figure of Heero Yuy, standing over her with a beautiful smile across his face.

"How's the water?"

His voice snapped her out of her dream like state, which she entered almost every time she had a chance to observe him keenly.

"COLD! YOU JERK! Not only did you nearly give me a heart attack but now I'll probably catch pneumonia!"

He chuckled as he watched her pouting lips and fiery attitude...

"Revenge is sweet my dear..." He smirked, knowing she was thinking of a hundred ways to hurt him right now...

"Really?..."

She ducked her head below the water, reducing herself to a mere jumble of colors. He watched curiously as the blur moved closer to the ledge and rose above the water as Relena in a splash.

"Are you going to help me out or what?

He extended his hand and took her cold one in his own, sending chills down his spine. Not only from her icy sting, but the mere touch of her skin...

The second she had a firm grip of his hand, her other arm came up to cling to his own, and brought him down into the waters below with a forceful tug.

Heero felt the coldness rush through his body the second he noticed the missing presence of soil beneath his feet. He heard muffled laughter from his place under the water, and rising up he looked over at Relena who now had a big smile plastered on her face.

"I agree with you Mister Yuy, revenge is very sweet."

He smiled, the first meaningful one he had since...well...since a very long time. She was now only an inch away from him, staring straight into those blue orbs of his. He brought up a hand to glide across her cheek, feeling her shiver beneath his touch.

"Are you cold?"

"Only because I'm swimming in a river running with ice water."

"Hn. Let's get out of the water, it'll be better to stay in that sunlight until we dry off a little."

He helped her up onto the small cliff above them, then climbed up after her.

Walking towards the sunny area, he turned when he heard her struggling with something.

'Akh! Darn shoe won't come off!...'

She was practically hopping on one foot trying to get her frozen laces untied. Poor Relena didn't notice the short but fat lump of log awaiting her foot's arrival...

"WHOA!"

Air rushed by her face as she fell lower towards the ground, landing on something that was equally soft and hard at the same time.

'Huh?'

Her eyes opened to those of Heero Yuy, whose breath was practically warming her flushed lips. Yes they were that close...

"I-I'm so sorry a-about that! A-Are you ok?"

Her cheeks were burning red as she attempted to rise up off him, only to be held back by the pair of arms encircling her waist.

"Fine. Are you alright?"

His questioning yet warm gaze melted every icicle that had formed in her body. Automatically her muscles relaxed, head sinking to his chest.

"Yeah... yeah I'm fine."

"Good."

He was about to ask her to get off him so he can take in some air that his lungs had stopped supplying by the pressure of her body against his, but he felt the warmth of her presence much more satisfying than any breath of air he could ever take.

She had never heard a heartbeat more soothing than the one thumping under her and she hesitantly rose her head up to look at his face. Indigo clashed with Prussian, as their eyes locked once again. Heero felt like he lost all control of his limbs as he sensed his hand move away stray stands of her golden hair, all the while slowing down as it caressed the side of her cheek. His thumb glided over her bottom lip, catching a sparkling droplet of water that had remained. Relena could feel her head moving closer to his own, though she did not remember instructing her body to do so...

"HEY I FOUND THEM! THEY'RE OVER HERE! And in a most interesting position might I add." Duo snickered as he watched them pull away from each other almost instantly.

"It sure took you long enough to get here. Did you get lost in a 20 foot forest?" Heero's menacing voice also harbored some impatience, all of which Duo took to note.

"Not really, we decided to take our sweet time, assuming we'd find you two in a more interesting situation." His wink made Relena's cheeks blush to an even darker shade of red. "Ahem, besides the girls kind of slowed us down."

"I HEARD THAT!" Hilde emerged through the clearing of bushes behind him.

"OH! Uh, hey babe! I was just telling them about our little detour!"

"Yeah, uh huh, and I'm a nun."

"If you're a nun then I'm going to hell for slee-"

There came the second bruise for Duo's head.()...

"I'm so glad we found you too! For a second I though you might have really gone too deep." Anna and the rest walked into the clearance, all wearing expressions of both relief and curiosity...

"I told you not to worry sis, Heero would be able to handle a little bit of trouble in a forest."

"Speaking of which, what happened to you too? Your soaking wet!" Hilde grabbed at Relena's shirt feeling the wetness inside the cloth.

"Well Heero managed to get me back, but not without getting a taste of his own medicine." She smiled at his now stoic face.

"Heh, well you started it."

She stuck her tongue out at him, making him smirk in return.

"We must get you two in some dry clothes Miss Relena, before you catch a cold." Dorothy never did stop using her formalities towards the princess...

"Looks like you all could use some changing too, today's breakfast is still hanging off of you. UKKH! Duo! You smell like cheese covered fish." Several people wrinkled their nose at the impact of the strong scent coming from Duo's braid.

"Oh ya! Heh heh, Hilde got some cheddar in my brain along with another helping of salmon from Wufy over there." He grimaced pointing at the Chinese man whose ears were beginning to emit steam.

"Well Trowa and Middie went to fetch two jeeps from the garage, we should head out so they can see us." Catherine explained as she draped her jacket over Relena's shoulder.

Relena thanked her and started off towards the edge of the forest with the rest of the group, Heero following close behind her.

'What was I thinking touching her like that. I really need to pull myself together, hwo can she affect me like this' Heero's thoughts were cut off by the sound of Duo's loud voice.

"Man, it's going to take forever for those two to get here. They're probably still in the garage messing around..." Duo's blabbering was cut off at the sight of two jeeps parked perfectly outside the spot they emerged.

"Ahem, you were saying Duo?" Trowa replied as he leaned on the side door of the jeep, with one arm around Middie's shoulder.

Duo mumbled something ineligible but it gave him another bruise on the head from Hilde who was safe in hearing distance.

After their short ride back to the mansion, Quatre called everyone around before they left for their rooms.

"Just so you know, due to some unscheduled events for today, I think it's best if we do the whole picnic agenda tomorrow. Noin and Zechs will be able to join us since they are arriving early tomorrow morning, last I heard. Tonight I was hoping we could go out and look around the downtown nearby. How does that sound?"

Everyone agreed fervently, itching to get to their rooms and strip out of their drenched clothing. Quatre smiled and they together decided too meet back up at 6:00, since it was currently 4:00 (AN time flies by when your having fun ). With that they left for their rooms, to clean up and rest.
