A/N- I don't know why I keep posting this up, no one reads it except for my sis and my bets… I'm seriously considering just ending it.

Did you know, there is a creature on this earth, it's called a Beta… Well, they are the most precious things Writers (a blooming species) can ever hope you acquire. Well, I decided I would take this time to brag about how I have one… Heehee. I have nicknamed it Beta!Star (real name: xWhiteXStaRx), and I love her much! Thank you for staying by my side!

I stared up at the apartment building. This was where Heero lived? Yuck… I opened the front door and started up the stairs. I really wasn't going to trust the stairs.

I'm still in shock about how easy it was to find him. Guess my hacker skills from college are still as good as ever.

Third floor.

Fifth floor.

Seventh floor.

I was gasping slightly by the time I got to the eighth floor. Not from climbing the stairs, but from the thought I'd actually see Heero again… Oh my god…

Ninth floor. Heero's floor.

Apartment Nine-A1.

Apartment Nine-A2.

Nine-B1.

Nine-B2. By now I was holding a hand against my heart and seriously thinking about turning and running the hell outta there. I didn't though.

Nine-C1.

Apartment. Nine-C2. Heero's apartment.

I stood in front of it, panting like I'd run the Triple Crown1. I raised my shaking hand to the door and knocked. Just then, a loud gunshot rang from the apartment. I jerked back and stared stupidly at the door for a few seconds. Then I started to yell and grab at the doorknob. It turned with no resistance, and I ran into the apartment, only to find Heero…

Hahaha, another cliffy! Yes, I am evil.

1- The Triple Crown is a horse race, well, three of them. The Kentucky Derby, the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness Stakes. Only eleven horses have ever won all three, which take place in the course of five weeks. Forty-three horses have won two, but not the last. Funny Cide was the latest in near misses, winning the Derby and the Preakness, but not the Belmont. That was in 2003. The newest winner of the whole thing was Affirmed, who won in 1978.

Can you tell I'm a bit of a racing freak?
