Notes: Thanks to my pal Bonne for taking on the roles of The Master Wufei Chang and Quatre Winner towards the end in order that I might finally finish this! You are nothing short of amazing and you Rule! HUGS!!! This is also dedicated to all my pals who kept me from getting thrown into the nut house! LOVE ALLA YOU GUYS!!! Also, this is dedicated in part to the R&B singer Aaliyah who starred in Romeo Must Die. Her talent, spirit, humor and beauty will be missed.
A short time later, all five Gundam pilots were reunited in the small conference room.
"Ok," Duo said, glancing around. "First. I wanna thank you guys for coming here. I know you're all busy, especially you Heero."
Heero looked up at Duo and arched an eyebrow in his direction.
"Give it up, Duo," Trowa said. "Stop trying to make us feel guilty about not believing in the Center. It's not like we could refuse."
Wufei smiled. "And stop teasing Heero about Relena," he added.
Duo's eyes widened, in mock innocence. "Who me?" he said, comically.
"Like I listen anymore," Heero responded.
Duo gave Heero a sideways look, then winked at the Perfect Soldier. Both knew that the 'Relena or me' argument had died some time ago on a floor at Quatre Winner's home.
"How's Ali? I didn't get to talk to her much." Quatre asked.
"She's fine," Duo said. "In fact, she's doing real well. Which brings me to the point. What's anyone found out?"
Heero sat down next to Quatre.
"Well, you were right about Blake. He wanted your place," Quatre replied.
Trowa looked up. "Yeah, but that was lot of C-4. Looked like he was trying to take out the colony," he said.
"Sounds like a bigger operation," Heero added. "It's like using a Blaster cannon to kill a fly."
Duo nodded. "Whatever it is, it sucks," he said. "So who would want to nix the colony? It's barely keeping up as it is?"
Quatre looked at Duo. "Either these guys are the low life thugs we think they are, or Heero's right and we have to look higher up. I'll see what Winner can find out. In the meantime, the explosives have been turned over or are in a safe place."
Wufei chuckled. "In a Maguanac storehouse, you mean," he said.
The Arabian pilot shrugged. "We will take good care of it," he said proudly.
"Quatre Raberba Winner, Maguanac and former Gundam pilot," Trowa mused. He looked up at Quatre. "So what do your sisters say about it?"
Quatre frowned a little. "They're great Winner women. They say nothing at all," he replied evenly.
Wufei glanced up and chuckled to himself, but said nothing. As he did, his eyes fell on Duo and the nearness of the braided pilot sent a jolt through his body. He had played this game with himself numerous times, observing and noting every nuance and curve in the braided pilot's face. This time was different, however. Duo had altered things.
"Ok, so we keep our ears and eyes open. We're still here and so is the Center...I'm grateful." Duo said, sitting down on a corner of the table.
Quatre's eyes were drawn to Duo and Wufei. He smiled, but it was short lived. Heero had leaned forward and his arm brushed against Quatre's on the table. The young Arabian felt his jeans tighten at the contact as visions of Heero removing his pants filled his mind. Damnit, he thought. Allah is sometimes perverse. I must have been out cold.
"I'll follow-up on Blake. I don't have a good feeling about him," Heero said.
"Let me know what you discover," Wufei said.
"Hn," Heero replied.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot," Quatre said. "The festival is next week and everyone's invited. Transportation will be provided as well as nurturing women to help care for the kids. Think of it as a vacation. I'll throw in guard services for the Center as well."
Duo looked down at Wufei. "He must want us pretty bad, ne?" he said, as he was struck once again by those dark exotic eyes.
"Sounds like a good plan to me. I'm sold," Master Chang said.
Quatre nodded. "Great! This is going to be fun!" he said happily.
