Liebe, Red Tail Snowy Fear
Heero woke up with a light head buzz but shrugged it off and pulled himself from the warm bed, pulling on his clothes for the day and glad for the fact it wasn't a weekend where there was nothing to do. Dolly seemed to enjoy showing him off to her friends also since Vicki and Gretchen seemed to enjoy showing her off to theirs as well.
He reached his arms above his head and stretched, tilting his head back and forth as he stretched the knots and kinks out of his muscles. He fell back on the bed for a moment, wondering how long it had been since he had arrived here in Maine.
He vaguely wondered what school would be like today—Vicki and Gretchen endless going to bother him as usual, which was most likely, or leaving him alone since their 'rejection'.
He grabbed his backpack and shrugged it on his shoulders, deciding to wait for Dolly today since Chrissie and Anya had left earlier to meet up with some friends.
"Hey Heero!" Dolly called, smiling brightly to the brunette and she grabbed her backpack and pulled on her green coat, which complimented her sparkling red hair. She then grabbed her mitten and pulled them tightly over her fingers.
"Ready to go?" Heero questioned, somehow feeling obliged to protect her and the other's in the household, like it was his duty (which he added subconsciously, was).
He opened the door and she grabbed his hand, surprising him slightly before calming down and remembered that they didn't know what he really was. He sighed inwardly, wondering what they would do if they found out that he was a killer and a Gundam pilot. Dolly certainly wouldn't be holding his hand, which was for sure.
"Will you carry me?" She giggled, throwing her hands around his neck as he picked her up and gave her a piggyback ride. "Isn't this fun?"
Heero gave a small smile back, nodding his head. This was about the only way, other than doing his normal fitness routine for him to keep his muscles up to task.
He stopped at the fork in the road, one leading to the High school and one to Elementary. He lifted Dolly easily off his shoulder's and gave her back her school books, giving her a smile and they talked for a little bit before he sent her off, giving her a small wave goodbye as he headed off to the school.

"Maxwell," Wufei hissed with venom as they crept around in the dark, "Next time you want to go on a little expedition, leave me out of it!" He bit out between angry breaths, glaring in the dark at the glaring braided brunette.
"Duo…" Quatre said, trying to sooth the battle the two pilots' were having against one another.
"Aren't you worried about Heero!" Duo retorted back, getting no response from the other pilots as well, which Duo took as a silent 'yes'. He sighed heavily, "Let's just do this."
"Why are we doing this again?" Quatre questioned as Duo took out his pickpocket and began to pick the lock as Wufei played watchdog.
"Because Une has something in that desk of hers!" Duo replied, getting the door open in record time and with skillful ease. He gently prodded it open with the tip of his black boots.
"Ready?" Quatre questioned Trowa who silently nodded and gave the small blonde a much-needed push into the dark room over to Une's desk.
"It's too easy getting in here." Wufei commented.
"We did invent the system." Trowa pointed out.
"Thank god Heero got stuck with the computer files or we'd be caught by now." Duo muttered, once more picking the safe lock on the drawer he had seen Une snap close with Heero's stuff in it he assumed.
A small click resounded in the room and the pilots, whether or whether not they admitted eagerness, crowded around the drawer to see it's occupants and pulled away sharply as the sight.
"So…" Duo said, breaking the silence, "When did Heero quit the Preventers?"
Everyone remained silent to the question, looking at Heero's trusty gun as well as he other stuff and some paper work.

Heero walked through the nearly vacant halls, making his way to English class until he was grabbed from behind and roughly slammed into a locker, strong arms gripping his lithe body firmly.
Heero clenched his teeth, trying to get out of his assailant's grip until he realized he couldn't. 'This is no ordinary student.' Heero's mind noted as he looked up with a glare to the person daring to mess with him.
He would have pulled back in shock had the locker not been there. The grinning face of the person made him growl, sending his worst death glare to the person. "You…" He ground out through clenched teeth, recognizing the face anywhere.
"Yes," A hand let go before going back to it's original place. "We have so much to discuss, you and I, Heero Yuy…"
Another person, only dressed in black this time decided to walked up to the two. Delicately in his hand, he was carrying a syringe filled with a clear liquid in it that screamed 'Morphine' to him.
A sharp pain entered his neck and then, everything went black…
