Ok, this is a short chapter. Frankly, I just finished it today because I saw it just sitting here on the computer waiting for me to finally get back to it. Other chapters will come as my inspiration comes. Yell at my muse, if you will! She's currently on an X/1999 kick.

"Heero, Megami, the two of you will be working together on a collaboration and merger of the Goddess and Gundam divisions. Together, under my supervision, you will begin train the eight other agents, who will be arriving soon." Sally Po told the two stoic teenagers standing in front of her desk.

"Mission accepted." Heero said, his tone betraying none of his emotions. Megami merely saluted, a flash of expression visible for a split second. They then filed out of the room, the former going one way down the hall, the latter the other.

As the door shut behind the two young soldiers, Sally allowed her face to fall into a thoughtful expression. She was confident that they could work well together, but the slight frown in an otherwise blank countenance on her foster daughter worried her somewhat. Megami was a good agent, well trained, one of the best, if truth be told. The same could be said of her counterpart, Heero. All the same, that slight variance in expression she had caught while giving the orders left her uneasy. Sally put the thoughts out of her mind for the time being and called up Commander Une on the vidscreen.

"Yes, Sally?"

"The orders have been given. We will begin execution tomorrow."

"I expect there were no problems?" Commander Une asked.

Sally paused for a moment before answering. "None to be reported, ma'am. The mission will continue as planned."

"Very well. The new recruits will be arriving at 17:00 hours."

Sally saluted, then ended the transmission and sighed. She decided to place her faith in the two young soldiers, just as the Commander had.

A red convertible sped down the highway, its four passengers laughing as the wind blew their hair. "Ami, are you sure we get off on the next turn-off?" the raven haired one asked from the wheel.

"Yes, Rei." The short-haired girl sitting next to her answered from inside the book she held up to her nose. "I memorized the directions."

"Yeah, Rei, your grandpa couldn't have gotten too messed up!" The blonde joked as she leaned up onto the front seat. "Don't you think, Mako?"

The brunette opened her mouth to speak, but she was cut off by a guy's voice. "Hey ladies! Wanna race?"

The four girls looked sharply at the car that had pulled up next to them; a guy with a long braid was looking out of a rolled-down window. One of his companions, a Chinese youth, was shaking his head. Rei flipped him the bird, then sped away.

Sally walked down the hall at the Safehouse, looking for her two charges. She needed to brief them on the rest of their assignment; she hadn't had the time earlier, what with all the transfer papers for the custody of the other new agents. How did the Commander expect her to do all of this with such little notice? Lost in her thoughts, Sally walked into the desk at the end of the hallway. A cordless phone was knocked off its' charger, and Sally knocked herself in the head. "Of course! The intercom!" She picked up the phone and spoke a message into it. "The new agents will arrive at 17:00 hours today. I expect Agent Megami to show everyone around the Safehouse and get them settled. And that's an order!"

Heero knocked on Megami's door. It was merely a precaution, since he could hear loud music through the thick walls. He knocked again, and then entered the room. The music blew him away; it was almost deafening in its volume. "Megami!" he yelled towards the girl lying on her bed. She seemed to be looking at something, but she was facing a different direction, so he couldn't tell if she had heard him or not. He walked closer to her, calling her name for a second time. He touched her shoulder, and she whirled around, standing up.

"GO AWAY!" an angry voice emanated from the smaller figure. He was almost shocked; she had seemed much more in-control earlier.

"No. We have orders. You heard the intercom?"

Megami cooled suddenly, the rage he had experienced not a minute before disappeared without a trace. Her voice was once again inexpressive and businesslike. "No, I was not aware of any new orders. Would you please inform me?"

He repeated their orders. "She said that the new recruits will be here in approximately 2 hours. Your orders are to make sure all of the new agents are familiarized with the Safehouse and are shown to their new quarters."

"Anything else?"

"Negative. That was all." He answered.

A near inaudible sigh emanated from the girl. "Thank you." She turned around, then, almost too quiet to hear, said, "Now will you please leave?" She didn't turn back around until she heard the soft click of her door behind her, then she flopped onto her bed.

Yeah, yeah, it's short, I know. If I don't write short chapters, I start rambling. Live with it. They'll get longer as I get inspired.
