Konnichiwa Minna-san! I'm back! School's almost over for the year so, I've got more free time now! I don't have much to say about this chapter so you can get started right away!

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam 00 or its Characters, they belong to Bandai, Sunrise and Yun Koga. But Veda said I could borrow them for a bit as long as I don't run off with a Gundam or Tieria-kun.

Happy Reading!

Chapter Eleven: Shouldn't You Be Resting?

Tieria was bored and restless, and annoyed. Being bored and being restless were two of the highest things on the very, very long list of things that Tieria couldn't stand. He wanted to go back to doing what he normally did during the day but he was bedridden for another two days. He had woken up hours ago with an extremely tiny fever. It was now nearly midday and his temperature was completely down to normal. He gritted his teeth in frustration and punched at the mattress.

"Tieria-nii, what's wrong? Tieria-nii, what's wrong?" The Haro asked.

"I'm just a little frustrated," Tieria said, "I can't stand being stuck in bed like this."

"You should rest more, you should rest more," The Haro said.

"I know I should," Tieria said, "But I've spent so much of the last week sleeping. I need to walk around for a bit." He said as he got out of bed, "Cover for me alright."

"I will, I will," Haro said as Tieria changed into his normal outfit, "Be careful Tieria-nii! Don't get caught, don't get caught Tieria-nii!"

"I won't," Tieria said as he left his room for the first time in nearly a week.

Allelujah sighed as he finished lunch. He felt awful about what Hallelujah had done to Tieria. The smaller Meister may have caused a fair bit of a commotion but that was no reason to almost strangle him! He was about to make a tray for Tieria when he heard the door open.

"Are you here to bring Tieria his lunch?" Allelujah asked without turning around, "I don't think he wants me in his room right now."

"I am Tieria."

Allelujah turned around found that Tieria was in fact standing in the room with him. "Tieria," Allelujah said, "What are you doing out of bed? You should still be resting."

"I just couldn't stand staying in bed any longer," Tieria said as he starting picking at the lunch that Allelujah had set up for him, "I needed to walk around."

"But your fever," Allelujah said, "It's going to get worse if you don't rest."

"My fever is completely gone," Tieria said, "So I see no reason to stay in bed any longer."

"But what happens if Sumeragi-san catches you?" Allelujah asked, "She was pretty upset with Lockon when he got out of bed."

"I know," Tieria said as his eyes flashed yellow for a spilt second, "I'm using Veda to keep track of her location and right now she's in the bridge."

"I see," Allelujah said, "About earlier…I really can't control Hallelujah…I tried to get him to stop but he wouldn't listen to me…If you still angry at me I understand, you can take me off Kyrios if you want to."

"I have no intention of doing that," Tieria said as he finished the sandwich that he had been eating, "Tell Hallelujah that I apologize."

"ALRIGHT JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO TIERIA ERDE!?" Hallelujah screamed as Tieria's eyes flashed yellow again to make sure no one was in the area. "You might want to head down to the medical room, I think the fever completely fried your brain."

"You know that's only possible with a temperature above forty-two degrees right?" Tieria said as he took another sandwich.

"I don't care!" Hallelujah said, "There is still something very wrong with you! You're not acting the way you should be acting!"

"Oh," Tieria said, "So you're saying that you would rather have me pull a gun on you, lock you in isolation and take you off Kyrios?" He asked, "That can easily be arranged." His eyes turned yellow, "I can do that right here and now."

"Alright, alright," Hallelujah said, "I get it! Well I'm gonna let Allelujah take over, he's driving me crazy."

"What did you say to him?" Allelujah said, "He backed off so easily."

"I threatened to pull a gun on him, lock him in isolation and take him off Kyrios," Tieria said as he finished his second sandwich, "The usual."

"I see," Allelujah said, "Hallelujah thinks that there's something wrong with your head."

"He always thinks that there's something wrong with my head," Tieria said.

"Well you are acting a bit strange," Allelujah said, "You're never this social."

"I've been stuck in bed for the past week too sick to do anything but sleep," Tieria said.

"That's true," Allelujah said, "I guess even you would be a bit more social after that. Tieria how many of those sandwiches have you eaten?"

"This is number three," Tieria said, "I'm starving. Sumeragi wouldn't let me eat a lot this morning."

"She probably had a good reason for doing so," Allelujah said, "You probably shouldn't eat too much today."

Tieria nodded as his eyes flashed yellow again. He then placed the half eaten sandwich down and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Allelujah asked,

"Sumeragi is headed this way," Tieria said.

"Okay," Allelujah said, "Don't get caught."

"I won't," Tieria said as he turned for the door, "I'll take that other half of the sandwich. Sumeragi's coming to bring me lunch."

"O-okay," Allelujah said as Tieria left.

"If I didn't already know why he knows what Hotpants is going to do, I would beat it outta him." Hallelujah said, "Can the kid do anything with his little computer?"

"I'm sure he can," Allelujah said as he finished setting the tray for Tieria.

"Eh I doubt it," Hallelujah said, "I think he would die if he didn't have his computer."

"Hallelujah," Allelujah said as the door opened, "Sumeragi-san, are you here to bring Tieria his lunch?"

"He already ate two and a half sandwiches," Hallelujah said, "How much more can he eat?"

"Yes I am," Sumeragi said, "Did you give him a smaller portion?"

"Yes," Allelujah said, "How is he doing this morning?"

"You know how he's doing," Hallelujah screamed in his head, "He was just in here!"

"He still has a slight fever," Sumeragi said, "It should be down by tomorrow."

"That's good," Allelujah said, "He must be getting restless."

"What makes you say that?" Sumeragi asked raising her eyebrow in suspicion.

"No reason," Allelujah said, "I can't see him enjoying lying around for a few more days."

"I know," Sumeragi said, "Well, I'll see how he's feeling later and perhaps I'll let him walk around for a while. Is this tray for Tieria?"

"Yeah," Allelujah said, "Tell him that I'm sorry about what Hallelujah did."

"I will," Sumeragi said as she walked from the room.

"Tieria-nii! Tieria-nii!" The Haro called as Tieria reentered then changed back into his pajamas, "What are you doing? What are you doing?"

"Sumeragi is on her way here," Tieria said as he got back in bed, "Do I still have a fever?"

"Temperature normal! Temperature normal!" Haro chanted.

"Thank you," Tieria said as he picked up the book that was sitting on his desk.

A few minutes later Sumeragi entered the room, "Ah you're awake," She said, "How are you feeling?"

"My temperature seems to be down to normal," Tieria said, "According to the Haro."

"Really?" Sumeragi said, "Well let's see what the thermometer says." She handed the small device to Tieria, "You can persuade the Haro to lie but you can't do that with a thermometer."

Tieria took the thermometer and put it in his mouth. After a few seconds it beeped, "Well the thermometer says the same thing the Haro did," Tieria said, "Thirty-six point eight."

"Let me see that," Sumeragi said as she took the thermometer, "Are you sure you didn't find someway to trick this?"

"How am I supposed to do that?" Tieria asked.

"How am I supposed to know?" Sumeragi asked, "You are able to link with Veda, though."

"That small device is not connected to Veda," Tieria said, "Therefore, there is no possible way that I can interfere with its performance."

"If you say so," Sumeragi said as she placed her hand on His forehead, "Although I guess you don't feel warm at all."

"When will I be able to get out of bed?" Tieria asked as he finished the sandwich.

"We'll see how you feel tonight," Sumeragi said, "You did wake up with a fever this morning. If your temperature stays normal for the rest of the day, I'll allow you out of bed a day early. But until then you're going to have to stay in bed." Tieria sighed, "I'm sorry Tieria."

"Can I at least read the reports from the last two missions?" Tieria said, "I need to report on the last one."

"I filed a report for you," Sumeragi said, "You were so sick that day, I don't expect you to remember anything from the mission. Do you remember anything from that mission?" Tieria remained silent, "It was the day before you and Hallelujah had that prank war thing, about three days after you got sick."

"I can't recall what happened," Tieria said, "All I can remember is getting ready to sortie then I remember waking up in the shower room sometime later with no recollection of how I got there."

"Which is exactly why I filed the report for you," Sumeragi said, "You only fired one shot and it nearly hit the Dynames. You then brought up a GN-Field and passed out."

"What did you say?" Tieria asked.

"I just said that because of a high fever you weren't able to help much," Sumeragi said, "Is that alright?"

"I guess so," Tieria said.

"Maybe that will keep you occupied for a bit," Sumeragi said as she took the tray from Tieria, "I'm sure this Haro is willing to help you."

"Alright," Tieria sighed.

"Well I'll leave you to your work," Sumeragi said, "And please, stay in bed. I already have to deal with Lockon sneaking out every hour or so."

Tieria nodded as Sumeragi left the room. He then pushed the covers off of him and stood up. He had no intention of staying in bed he needed to walk around and that's what he was going to do.

"Tieria-nii, where are you going? Tieria-nii where are you going?" The Haro asked.

"I'm going out again," Tieria said as he changed again.

"Sumeragi told you to stay here! Sumeragi told you to stay here!"

"I know," Tieria said, "But I can't stay here any longer. Don't worry about me okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Haro chanted, "Be careful, be careful!"

"I will," Tieria said.

Lockon was pretty sure he was still dreaming when he opened his eyes and found Tieria sitting in front of his bed. He rubbed his eyes and pinched himself just to make sure that he was awake and the Tieria in front of him was not just an illusion caused by his feverish mind.

"Ah good afternoon," Tieria said, "How are you feeling?"

"Tieria," Lockon said in a hoarse whisper, "What are you doing here?"

"I was bored," Tieria said, "I needed to get out of my room."

"Shouldn't you be resting?" Lockon asked as he sat up, "I thought Sumeragi had you on bed rest for another forty-eight hours."

"She still does," Tieria said, "But I just couldn't stay in my bed any longer."

"Do you still have a fever?" Lockon asked.

"No," Tieria said as he placed his hand to Lockon's forehead, "But you still do."

"It's fine," Lockon said, "But I never thought you would disobey one of Ms. Sumeragi's rules."

"I'm using Veda to track her location," Tieria said as his eyes flashed yellow.

"I see," Lockon said as he got out of bed, "So where is she?"

"In her room," Tieria said, "What are you doing?"

"Well seeing as though you're breaking the rules, I thought that I should join in too." Lockon said, "I've never been one to lie around when I was sick."

"Where are you taking me?" Tieria asked in his normal 'you had better explain yourself now' tone.

"We're playing hide and seek," Lockon said, "And Ms. Sumeragi is it." With that he hit the call button near his bed then hurried Tieria out of the room, "You know what to do Haro!"

"Alright! Alright!"

Uh-oh…Lockon's got a plan and poor Tieria's gonna have to go along for the ride, whether he wants to or not. What kind of trouble are they going to get into? And I think that Tieria seriously freaked out Hallelujah but I don't think that's a bad thing…Hallelujah didn't have the opportunity to nearly strangle Tieria again. But what is Sumeragi going to do if and when she catches Lockon and Tieria out of bed? Find out next time minna-san!
