This chapter takes place three months after the incident at now demolished OZ base, and the GW pilots are now trying to figure out who attacked Heero and more importantly why. Note: Duo's apartment has been moved to L-4.
Chapter 2
"Wow Heero! That must have been one strong whack to have knocked you out for over three hours!" remarked Duo. The four Gundam pilots were all at Duo's apartment, while Hilde was out, trying to help their comrade on figuring out what had happened to him three months ago, all except for Wufei. He had disappeared after the final battle with Trieze and White Fang, probably to morn killing Trieze. Heero had tried e-mailing him but he received no replies.
"So are you saying you saw nothing on what OZ has on us and our Gundams or the person who jumped you?" asked Quatre.
"All I did was break pass all the computer codes. Once I did that, I was knocked out from behind. I didn't see a thing," explained Heero.
"Well, who ever it was, he had to be really strong to knock you out for that long of time in one shot," commented Duo.
"Who ever said a man did it?" asked Trowa. "For all we know it could have been a woman."
"Forgive me for sounding like our absent friend Wufei, but an ONNA!! AN ONNA knocked out the almighty Gundam pilot Heero Yuy! No *onna* could do that!" remarked Duo. (Many girls are now giving evil glares towards Duo for his pig-headish remark, including Syira.)
"Sorry Maxwell, but I'm siding with Trowa on his one, besides no ordinary onna would want data on the five Gundam pilots and their Gundams." Everyone turned around to see Wufei leaning against the doorway.
"Well, well, well. It's the almighty Wuffie to grace us with his presents." mocked Duo.
"Stupid up Maxwell."
"How long have you been standing there Wufei?" asked Quatre.
"Long enough to how what you were talking about," replied Wufei. "SO what you think Yuy?" Heero thought for a few seconds.
"Hmmmm. I'm siding with Trowa with this one."
"WHAT!!" It wasn't the fact that Heero was siding with Trowa on something that surprised Duo. No, that has happened before, but the fact was Heero was admitting that a woman could have possibly jumped him, that surprised him. All he could do was to stare at Heero with his mouth open.
"I don't know man. Maybe that hit rattled your brain, Heero," suggested Duo.
"I agree with Wufei. No *ordinary* woman would go into that building for that kind of information." sided Quatre. "She'd have to be exceptionally strong to do something like this, whatever her purposes and/or reasons.
"But the real questions here are who is he *or* she, what do they want with the information from OZ and what will they do with it, and, "reminded Trowa. "Why did they save Heero from the fire?"
"Yeah that puzzles me too," agreed Duo. "They could have let you in there to die, but instead they save you life."
"If it was me," remarked Wufei. "I would have left Yuy to die in that building. That way, no witness."
"But that wasn't you Wufei. It was someone else," said Trowa.
"Can you tell us anything more about the fire at OZ Heero?" asked Quatre.
"The last thing I remember is the person standing over me in complete black. Their face, hair, skin, ears the whole works. They were about to leave when they said something to me. They said 'You're very lucky Heero Yuy. I could have left you in there but you have my humanity to thank for not leaving you there.' Then they ran into the bushes. It could tell from the voice it was a female but that was about it."
Just then the phone rang. Duo leaped over his couch and grabbed the phone.
"Hello, this is Duo speakin'."
"Duo, this is Relena."
"Ay, Relena. What's up?"
"There's no need for ideal chit-chat. I need to ask you a favor."
"Sure Relena. What do you want me to do?"
"Well I got this weird e-mail yesterday.
"What kind, Relenie? Who from? Was it a romantic letter from someone?" teased Duo.
"Shut *up* Duo." yelled Heero. Relena giggled.
"No Duo. It's a letter from a Miss. Syira Doncha, a major peace supporter."
~Syira. A one name that death has taken away from me, ~ thought Duo.
"Duo? Duo?"
"Sorry about that Relena." apologized Duo.
"That alright. Anyway, like I was saying, I got e-mail from Syira Doncha the other day. It reads:
Dear Relena Durline,
I will be arriving at the L-4 Airport for the Peace Ball at the end of this week. I am aware that my arrival will be early for the Peace Ball, but I have some business to attend to on L-4 before and after the Peace Ball. I am also aware that you have appointed yourself to escort me from the airport, but I ask you to reconsider. Peace has only been with us for such a short time and I don't want you to bring unwanted attention to ourselves, so I request that you send 02 and 04, instead of yourself, to meet me at the airport at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at gate 3-B. Please inform them of my arrival the day of my arrival. I will trust that you will respect my wishes. I hate to add another burden on you Miss Relena, but I require a place to stay for a couple days. My estate will not be completed upon my arrival. I'd really appreciate this if you find a place for me to stay for a couple days.
Syira Doncha."
"Now I see why you didn't ask Heero to do this for you. Alright then, we'll be down shortly."
"Thanks Duo. Just don't tell the others okay? I'll have Pagan pick you and Quatre up. Bye." The two then hung up their phones. Duo just stared at then phone.
"What did Relena want Duo?" asked Trowa.
"I can't say."
"Why *not* Duo?" asked Heero. Although Heero never had any *real feelings* for Relena, he was *very* protective of her.
"I promised her I'd not tell you guys. All I can say is that Quatre and I are needed to do some work for Relena."
"Do we need our Gundams?" asked Quatre. Duo then looked up and at Quatre.
"Nope. This is a simple peace mission. No destruction, secret files, death. Nothin'."
"I *trust* that nothing was said that Duo won't be able to say under normal circumstances." said Heero.
"Don't worry Heero. It was all business," assured Duo. "Come on Quatre, we've got a job to do." The two then left the apartment building for Relena's mission.
When Duo and Quatre made it outside, Pagan was out there waiting for them, so they got into the limo and Pagan drove off while Duo explained their mission to Quatre.
"I understand why'd she'd want to keep her arrival a secret and Relena safe. We've had peace for such a short time and with Syira being a major peace supporter and a powerful person, anyone who was against peace would want to kill her *and* Relena. But Duo, how did she know about us being Gundam pilots?"
" Don't know Q. I don't think even Relena knows or she would have told me when she called."
"Forgive me for stepping in, but you're right Mr. Maxwell," said Pagan as he drove. "Ms. Relena was puzzled on how she knew about the Gundams and who they were."
"Pagan, did Relena send us anything to help us in picking up Ms. Doncha?" asked Quatre.
"I'm very sorry Mr. Winner, but she didn't, but she did tell me who to look for. She said to look for a young girl, about fifteen wearing a black velvet cape with a silver cord."
"Thanks Pagan."
"I'm glad to be of help, Mr. Winner."
*******
"Man! How long does it take for a plane to arrive," Duo said impatiently as he paced back and forth.
"Be patient Duo."
"Flight 2A5 has now arrived at gate 3-B."
"Well, it's about time," grumbled Duo. People soon quickly started to fill the room as they were waiting for someone or getting off the plane as Quatre and Duo broke off and began their search. Minutes passed and still there was no sight of her and the crowd began to thin out.
~I wonder if this was even her flight,~ thought Quatre. Just then he saw Duo stop.
"Syi," he said quietly. "SYI!" A brown haired girl, who Quatre could only now see her head, turned her head around and scanned the room till she saw Duo.
"DUO!" she yelled. The two battled their way through the crowds to each each other and hugged each other tightly and Duo spun her around quickly.
~Hilde isn't going to like this,~ thought Quatre as he too battled his way through the crowds to reach his friend, who once he finally reached, let go of his mysterious friend.
"Quatre, this is a *really* good friend of mine, Syira Tanichie....er... I mean Syira Doncha" Syira had hazel eyes, pale skin, shoulder length brown hair with blond streaks, and their black cape with silver cord trademark.
"Duo, how do *you* know..."
"Later Q. Right now we have to get Syira to the limo. Let me carry your bags, Syi," offered Duo. He then betted over and tired to pick up Syira's suitcase, but he couldn't seem to pick it up, so he tried again. And again, again, and again. Duo couldn't seem to move Syira's suitcase. Quatre and Syira silently giggled behind Duo as they watched their friend attempt to pick up the suitcase. Syira soon walked over to Duo and picked up her suitcase with ease.
"Peace has made you weak, my little baka," teased Syira
"Hey! I'm NOT weak or a baka! Right Quatre."
"Actually Duo. Sometimes you are just a little..."
"I'M NOT A BAKA! Baka's are blond girls and I'm *definitly* not a blond or a girl."
"Come on, Duo. Pagen's waiting for us."
*****
"So Duo, how did you meet Syira anyway?" asked Quatre once they had all gotten into the limo. Duo and Quatre were on one side while Syira sat across from them.
"We lived at Maxwell Church at the same time. It was as simple as that. We just happened to both be there."
"But wasn't everyone else killed?"
"That's was I thought Q. How about we let Syira explain what happened to her," suggested Duo. Syira took a deep breath.
"I was sent off on an task, by Sister Helen, to get some food for the church. It just a few items, so she gave me some money and I headed off to the grocery store in town. When I got back, I found the church to be in complete ruins and ashes. I fell to my knees and began to cry. I thought that I had lost everyone I had known as a family. I must have been there for only a few minutes, because I then heard in the distance, the sound of laughing. When I went to see whom it was I saw they were Alliance soldiers! They were joking about how easy it was to destroy the church!! I couldn't *stand it* Duo, so I charged after them wanting to beat the crap out of them, unfortunately, I didn't get a single punch in. They used their guns and beat me with them. They just kept on beating me Duo!" Syira had been trying to hold back her tears of the past but it proved too much for her to hold back and began to cry and Duo quickly lent forward and hugged Syira. "I should have done something Duo to stop them from killing everyone..."
"There wasn't anything you could do Syira, that *we* could do. We weren't anywhere near them when they attacked, and if we were, we could have been killed as well. We've been given a second chance at life at the cost of all our loved ones at the church. I miss them too Syira." subbed Duo. They hugged each other for a few minutes till Syira stopped her crying and Duo let go of her and lend back into his seat.
"Thanks Duo."
"No problem Syira. Can you still continue?"
"Yeah. Anyway, after they were finished beating me to a near death and believed to be dead, they flung my body into some bushes and left. I would have died if I wasn't found by Silver Wolf."
"Silver Wolf? Who are they Syi?" asked Duo.
"A minor rebel group against the Alliance. Actually, Silver Wolf is one of the most peaceful rebel group."
"How can a rebel group be peaceful?" asked Quatre a little disbelieved.
"We believe that the Alliance has gotten too aggressive with its powers and war is the only way to end their reign, but we don't want to have a blood shed. We try to destroy the Alliance's operations slowly trying to have as few casualties as possible."
"For Silver Wolf you mean?" suggested Quatre. Quatre never like rebel groups. They always had violent believes and tactics in forcing out the government in power, and if they'd succeed, they'd end up being worse then those who they had kicked out.
"For either side. A death is a death no matter whom it is and what side they're on, yours, the enemy, or the innocent public. That is our believes about this war."
"Wow Syira! That sounds pretty deep," exclaimed Duo.
"Anyhow, when they found me, they took me to one of their secret bases on L2 and healed my injuries. Once I awoke, they offered to take me in. I saw no reason not to. From what I knew then, everyone I had ever known was killed. Later on is was adopted by Jennifer and Sidney Doncha, they were not only members in Silver Wolf, but one of the richest people of our time. I never really could call them mom and dad so I just call them Jenn and Sid. They were the top fighters in the group, so they taught me every thing I needed to know about piloting mobile suits, but they also taught me to be a business person when not in times of war or hiding my identity. If Jenn and Sid were ever called on a mission, I'd would be needed to cover up for them at public events."
"So where are they now Syi? I'd love to meet 'em," asked Duo. As soon as Duo asked that question, Syira's face went pale.
"A couple months ago, they were on a mission while I was covering at a fundraiser for the homeless. During the mission, Alliance forces began to move toward civilian territory. Jenn and Sid quickly caught on, so in order to save the civilians, they self detonated both of their mobile suits destroying the Alliance MS and themselves. The Alliance reports saw they destroyed them, but that's just a cover up to the public."
"Mr. Maxwell, excuse me for interrupting but were would you like to do off Miss. Doncha?" asked Pagans.
"Ummmmm...." ~Rats~ thought Duo. He had completely forgot to find Syira a place to stay.
"Same old Duo. Never could remember those kind of things."
"Take us to Winner Mansion Pagan," instructed Quatre. "Miss. Doncha will be staying there during her stay." Pagan took his instruction and began to drive.
"Wait Quatre. I don't want to be a burden on you and your family. I can just rent an hotel...."
"It'll be no trouble at all. We have a spare room you can borrow till your estate is ready for you."
"Thank you very much Quatre."
"Syira, how did you and Duo meet up anyway?"
"I was an orphan ever since I could remember. Always stealing food just to barely survive. Anyhow, when I was 4, I must have passed out in the streets one day and Sister Sara found me and brought me to Maxwell Church. They feed me up, and took me in. One day, I saw a group of guys, oh 9 or 10, beating up someone so I ran in and beat them off the poor kid. Sister Jane saw what was happening came over and scared them off. I was about to get into trouble when she saw why I was beating up those kids. She went off to find the kids leaving me behind with the beaten up kid. When I looked at the body I saw a brown braid covering her face. It was covered in dirt and mud."
"That must have been Duo."
"You thought I was a GIRL!!!"
"Hey! I didn't see your face. Besides, most people who have braided hair are girls."
"What's that suppose to mean?!"
"Any way," continued Syira. "Soon after the boys has left, the body began to move and the braid fell off the face and I realized it was a boy.
'Hey kid, are you alright?' I asked
'Yeah I'm fine. Thanks for beating those guys off.' he said
'No problem. You looked like you needed the help. Why were they beating you up anyway?'
'They didn't like my braid. They said boys aren't suppose to have them.'
'So?! Who cares! As long as you like it, that shouldn't matter. What's your name kid?' I reached out my hand to help him up.
'Duo." He then grabbed my hand and I helped him up.
''ey Duo. Do you want I teach you a few moves to help defend yourself against those kind of people?'
'Sure.' And that's how we met and we've been best friends ever since."
"You seem more like brother and sister though," commented Quatre
"Yeah I know. Eventually we did become brother and sister, to each other," said Duo.
"Before we met, Duo was quite, but after a while, he lost that," explained Syira.
"So you made Duo the loud mouth he is today?"
"QUATRE!"
"Nope. That was he's doing. A quite Duo is a *very* scary thing."
"So how long is it to the Peace Ball, sis?" asked Duo.
"Two days I believe. It's in the evening."
"We'll be arriving at Winner Mansion shortly," announced Pagan.
"How long did it take to change Duo, Syira?" asked Quatre
"Three days."
"Syira!" exclaimed Duo.
"Nope. My fault. Two and a half."
"SYIRA!" exclaimed Duo even louder. "For that I get to tickle you to death." Duo reached across then seats and began to tickle Syira and eventually, poor Quatre was dragged in to the war. For the rest of the journey, there was laughter in the limo.

This chapter takes place three months after the incident at now demolished OZ base, and the GW pilots are now trying to figure out who attacked Heero and more importantly why. Note: Duo's apartment has been moved to L-4.
Chapter 2
"Wow Heero! That must have been one strong whack to have knocked you out for over three hours!" remarked Duo.

"Sorry Maxwell, but I'm siding with Trowa on his one, besides no ordinary onna would want data on the five Gundam pilots and their Gundams." Everyone turned around to see Wufei leaning against the doorway.
"Well, well, well. It's the almighty Wuffie to grace us with his presents." mocked Duo.
"Stupid up Maxwell."
"How long have you been standing there Wufei?" asked Quatre.
"Long enough to how what you were talking about," replied Wufei. "SO what you think Yuy?" Heero thought for a few seconds.
"Hmmmm. I'm siding with Trowa with this one."
"WHAT!!" It wasn't the fact that Heero was siding with Trowa on something that surprised Duo. No, that has happened before, but the fact was Heero was admitting that a woman could have possibly jumped him, that surprised him. All he could do was to stare at Heero with his mouth open.

Just then the phone rang. Duo leaped over his couch and grabbed the phone.
"Hello, this is Duo speakin'."
"Duo, this is Relena."
"Ay, Relena. What's up?"
"There's no need for ideal chit-chat. I need to ask you a favor."
"Sure Relena. What do you want me to do?"
"Well I got this weird e-mail yesterday.
"What kind, Relenie? Who from? Was it a romantic letter from someone?" teased Duo.
"Shut *up* Duo." yelled Heero. Relena giggled.
"No Duo. It's a letter from a Miss. Syira Doncha, a major peace supporter."
~Syira. A one name that death has taken away from me, ~ thought Duo.
"Duo? Duo?"
"Sorry about that Relena." apologized Duo.
"That alright. Anyway, like I was saying, I got e-mail from Syira Doncha the other day. It reads:
Dear Relena Durline,
I will be arriving at the L-4 Airport for the Peace Ball at the end of this week. I am aware that my arrival will be early for the Peace Ball, but I have some business to attend to on L-4 before and after the Peace Ball. I am also aware that you have appointed yourself to escort me from the airport, but I ask you to reconsider. Peace has only been with us for such a short time and I don't want you to bring unwanted attention to ourselves, so I request that you send 02 and 04, instead of yourself, to meet me at the airport at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at gate 3-B.

"Now I see why you didn't ask Heero to do this for you. Alright then, we'll be down shortly."
"Thanks Duo. Just don't tell the others okay? I'll have Pagan pick you and Quatre up. Bye." The two then hung up their phones. Duo just stared at then phone.

"I promised her I'd not tell you guys. All I can say is that Quatre and I are needed to do some work for Relena."

"I *trust* that nothing was said that Duo won't be able to say under normal circumstances." said Heero.
"Don't worry Heero. It was all business," assured Duo. "Come on Quatre, we've got a job to do." The two then left the apartment building for Relena's mission.
When Duo and Quatre made it outside, Pagan was out there waiting for them, so they got into the limo and Pagan drove off while Duo explained their mission to Quatre.
"I understand why'd she'd want to keep her arrival a secret and Relena safe. We've had peace for such a short time and with Syira being a major peace supporter and a powerful person, anyone who was against peace would want to kill her *and* Relena.

" Don't know Q. I don't think even Relena knows or she would have told me when she called."
"Forgive me for stepping in, but you're right Mr. Maxwell," said Pagan as he drove. "Ms. Relena was puzzled on how she knew about the Gundams and who they were."
"Pagan, did Relena send us anything to help us in picking up Ms. Doncha?" asked Quatre.
"I'm very sorry Mr. Winner, but she didn't, but she did tell me who to look for. She said to look for a young girl, about fifteen wearing a black velvet cape with a silver cord."
"Thanks Pagan."
"I'm glad to be of help, Mr. Winner."

"Man! How long does it take for a plane to arrive," Duo said impatiently as he paced back and forth.
"Be patient Duo."
"Flight 2A5 has now arrived at gate 3-B."
"Well, it's about time," grumbled Duo. People soon quickly started to fill the room as they were waiting for someone or getting off the plane as Quatre and Duo broke off and began their search. Minutes passed and still there was no sight of her and the crowd began to thin out.

"Syi," he said quietly. "SYI!" A brown haired girl, who Quatre could only now see her head, turned her head around and scanned the room till she saw Duo.
"DUO!" she yelled. The two battled their way through the crowds to each each other and hugged each other tightly and Duo spun her around quickly.
~Hilde isn't going to like this,~ thought Quatre as he too battled his way through the crowds to reach his friend, who once he finally reached, let go of his mysterious friend.
"Quatre, this is a *really* good friend of mine, Syira Tanichie....er... I mean Syira Doncha" Syira had hazel eyes, pale skin, shoulder length brown hair with blond streaks, and their black cape with silver cord trademark.
"Duo, how do *you* know..."
"Later Q. Right now we have to get Syira to the limo. Let me carry your bags, Syi," offered Duo. He then betted over and tired to pick up Syira's suitcase, but he couldn't seem to pick it up, so he tried again. And again, again, and again. Duo couldn't seem to move Syira's suitcase. Quatre and Syira silently giggled behind Duo as they watched their friend attempt to pick up the suitcase. Syira soon walked over to Duo and picked up her suitcase with ease.
"Peace has made you weak, my little baka," teased Syira
"Hey! I'm NOT weak or a baka! Right Quatre."
"Actually Duo. Sometimes you are just a little..."
"I'M NOT A BAKA! Baka's are blond girls and I'm *definitly* not a blond or a girl."
"Come on, Duo. Pagen's waiting for us."
*****
"So Duo, how did you meet Syira anyway?" asked Quatre once they had all gotten into the limo. Duo and Quatre were on one side while Syira sat across from them.
"We lived at Maxwell Church at the same time. It was as simple as that. We just happened to both be there."
"But wasn't everyone else killed?"

They hugged each other for a few minutes till Syira stopped her crying and Duo let go of her and lend back into his seat.
"Thanks Duo."
"No problem Syira. Can you still continue?"
"Yeah. Anyway, after they were finished beating me to a near death and believed to be dead, they flung my body into some bushes and left. I would have died if I wasn't found by Silver Wolf."
"Silver Wolf? Who are they Syi?" asked Duo.
"A minor rebel group against the Alliance. Actually, Silver Wolf is one of the most peaceful rebel group."
"How can a rebel group be peaceful?" asked Quatre a little disbelieved.
"We believe that the Alliance has gotten too aggressive with its powers and war is the only way to end their reign, but we don't want to have a blood shed. We try to destroy the Alliance's operations slowly trying to have as few casualties as possible."
"For Silver Wolf you mean?" suggested Quatre. Quatre never like rebel groups. They always had violent believes and tactics in forcing out the government in power, and if they'd succeed, they'd end up being worse then those who they had kicked out.
"For either side. A death is a death no matter whom it is and what side they're on, yours, the enemy, or the innocent public. That is our believes about this war."
"Wow Syira! That sounds pretty deep," exclaimed Duo.
"Anyhow, when they found me, they took me to one of their secret bases on L2 and healed my injuries. Once I awoke, they offered to take me in. I saw no reason not to. From what I knew then, everyone I had ever known was killed. Later on is was adopted by Jennifer and Sidney Doncha, they were not only members in Silver Wolf, but one of the richest people of our time. I never really could call them mom and dad so I just call them Jenn and Sid. They were the top fighters in the group, so they taught me every thing I needed to know about piloting mobile suits, but they also taught me to be a business person when not in times of war or hiding my identity. If Jenn and Sid were ever called on a mission, I'd would be needed to cover up for them at public events."
"So where are they now Syi? I'd love to meet 'em," asked Duo. As soon as Duo asked that question, Syira's face went pale.
"A couple months ago, they were on a mission while I was covering at a fundraiser for the homeless. During the mission, Alliance forces began to move toward civilian territory. Jenn and Sid quickly caught on, so in order to save the civilians, they self detonated both of their mobile suits destroying the Alliance MS and themselves. The Alliance reports saw they destroyed them, but that's just a cover up to the public."
"Mr. Maxwell, excuse me for interrupting but were would you like to do off Miss. Doncha?" asked Pagans.
"Ummmmm...." ~Rats~ thought Duo. He had completely forgot to find Syira a place to stay.
"Same old Duo. Never could remember those kind of things."
"Take us to Winner Mansion Pagan," instructed Quatre. "Miss. Doncha will be staying there during her stay." Pagan took his instruction and began to drive.
"Wait Quatre. I don't want to be a burden on you and your family. I can just rent an hotel...."
"It'll be no trouble at all. We have a spare room you can borrow till your estate is ready for you."
"Thank you very much Quatre."
"Syira, how did you and Duo meet up anyway?"
"I was an orphan ever since I could remember. Always stealing food just to barely survive. Anyhow, when I was 4, I must have passed out in the streets one day and Sister Sara found me and brought me to Maxwell Church. They feed me up, and took me in. One day, I saw a group of guys, oh 9 or 10, beating up someone so I ran in and beat them off the poor kid. Sister Jane saw what was happening came over and scared them off. I was about to get into trouble when she saw why I was beating up those kids. She went off to find the kids leaving me behind with the beaten up kid. When I looked at the body I saw a brown braid covering her face. It was covered in dirt and mud."
"That must have been Duo."
"You thought I was a GIRL!!!"
"Hey! I didn't see your face. Besides, most people who have braided hair are girls."
"What's that suppose to mean?!"
"Any way," continued Syira. "Soon after the boys has left, the body began to move and the braid fell off the face and I realized it was a boy.
'Hey kid, are you alright?' I asked
'Yeah I'm fine. Thanks for beating those guys off.' he said
'No problem. You looked like you needed the help. Why were they beating you up anyway?'
'They didn't like my braid. They said boys aren't suppose to have them.'
'So?! Who cares! As long as you like it, that shouldn't matter. What's your name kid?' I reached out my hand to help him up.
'Duo." He then grabbed my hand and I helped him up.
''ey Duo. Do you want I teach you a few moves to help defend yourself against those kind of people?'
'Sure.' And that's how we met and we've been best friends ever since."
"You seem more like brother and sister though," commented Quatre
"Yeah I know. Eventually we did become brother and sister, to each other," said Duo.
"Before we met, Duo was quite, but after a while, he lost that," explained Syira.
"So you made Duo the loud mouth he is today?"
"QUATRE!"
"Nope. That was he's doing. A quite Duo is a *very* scary thing."
"So how long is it to the Peace Ball, sis?" asked Duo.
"Two days I believe. It's in the evening."
"We'll be arriving at Winner Mansion shortly," announced Pagan.
"How long did it take to change Duo, Syira?" asked Quatre
"Three days."
"Syira!" exclaimed Duo.
"Nope. My fault. Two and a half."
"SYIRA!" exclaimed Duo even louder. "For that I get to tickle you to death." Duo reached across then seats and began to tickle Syira and eventually, poor Quatre was dragged in to the war. For the rest of the journey, there was laughter in the limo.
