"So, you got an invitation too," said Heero as that HeavyArms pilot Trowa sat down beside him. A couple of days ago, he had gotten an invitation inviting him to the Doncha Estate for a four day retreat. 'Just bring some warm cloths' it said and to be at Gate 6b that day. No one had seen or heard a word from Quatre still, but they still wanted to give him some more time before going out and searching for him, however, they began to think that it maybe time to go search for him. The two pilots sat silently, waiting for their plane to be called, until Trowa spoke.
"How much you want to bet that the others got an invitation to this four day retreat?" Heero didn't have a chance to answer, if he was even going to answer, because another voice quickly spoke.
"Hey guys! Long time no see," greeted Duo. "Looks like someone wants us to have a break."
"If someone wanted to give us a break, Maxwell, they wouldn't have asked you to come along," Wufei commented. "That way we would have gotten a break from your non-stop commentary and complaining."
"Wuffie, I didn't know you cared."
"I don't and for the last time, it's WUFEI! NOT WUFFEI!"
"Come on you two. Can't you behave yourselves even at an airport?" The four pilots look around and saw their missing comrade, Quatre.
"Hey Quatre! Where have you been?" asked Duo.
"We were concerned about your safety," said Wufei.
"I think what he really means to say is," translated Duo.
"Is that we missed you," finished Trowa.
"It seems that we've all been asked to come to this retreat," commented Heero. They all nodded in agreement.
"It wouldn't surprise me if this mysterious person was Duo's weak onna friend."
"Hey! Syi's not weak! She can pilot just as well as either one of us and she can take a good beating. It takes a lot to get her down," defended Duo.
"Besides, we're all fighting for the same goal," added Trowa.
"Peace," whispered Quatre. Everyone was silent for a moment. "Besides, it is Syira who's inviting us."
"What makes you say that, Quatre?" asked Wufei.
"Because, when Miss Relena asked me and Duo to pick her up from the airport, she said it was a Miss Syira Doncha who were to pick up. The invitation says we're to be taken to Doncha Estates, and I do not believe she has any living family who knows about us and would invite us." Before anyone else could say another word, a tall man dressed in black walked up to them. He was peach skinned with black hair and hazel eyes. He wore a serious like face.
"Are you the ones that Miss Doncha invited to her estate?" he asked flatly.
"Yes," replied Heero.
"Who wants to know?" asked Duo.
"Just pick up your suitcases and follow me please sir," the man said, as if he didn't hear Duo's question. "I'll take you to the jet now." The five boys picked up their belongings and followed him to the jet waiting to take them to the Estate.
******
It'd had been a couple of hours since the jet had taken off for the Estate, and there wasn't much to do on the jet. The windows had been blocked off, apparently so that the location of the Estate would remain a secret until arrival. Heero took the time to work on some mission reports, Wufei found an interesting book to read, Duo managed to discover that the jet had a in flight movie and watched that with the headphones, and Trowa and Quatre took the time to rest and remained silent. Trowa wanted to know where the young gundam pilot had been and what he was doing, so he finally got the courage to ask confront him on the matter. He got up walked up and over to the isle where Quatre was sitting and sat down in a chair beside him.
"Quatre, I was wondering, where did you go for the past couple of days? Duo would have sent a search party for you soon if you hadn't shown up."
"I was here and there. No where dangerous and where I could be captured by OZ soldiers."
"What were you doing 'here and there'?"
"Stuff. Look Trowa, I'm fine. I wasn't hurt or injured. I really don't see why you want to where and what I've been up to." Quatre turned his head and stared at the covered window. Trowa sighed. He obviously wasn't going to find out so he walked back over to his seat.
********
It'd been a couple more hours of silence before another voice was heard again, and when was heard, it'd been the voice of the man they had meet at the airport, or to Duo, Maxx.
"We will be arriving at Doncha Estate shortly, so please gather your things, and please return to your seat," he said.
"Man, it's about time," moaned Duo as he began to get his things."I was about to go insane. There wasn't any good videos left."
"Maxwell, I thought you said you found a large collection of Thunderbirds?" asked Wufei.
"My point exactly. No good videos. Thunderbirds is the demon show!" [AN: Sorry. Personal opinion. Don't send me hate mail about this!] The others just sighed as they began to gather their things and shortly sat back in their seats, waiting for the jet to land.
After a few minutes, the jet had landed and the five gundam pilots made their way off the jet, carry their belongings with them. When they first got off the plane, they saw that the entire area was covered in snow. They had been take to a winter wonderland estate!
"So, how do you like the place?" asked Syira as the boys got off the jet.
"It's amazing Syi!" said Duo in awe and amazement.
"You own this?" asked Quatre.
"Yeah. Everything from the mountain side to the jet. We're completely isolated from the world. My house has its own power supply, and if the power does go out, I have a wood fireplace," she explained.
"What was your reason for inviting us to this place?" asked Heero.
"A break from the battle between what we see as good and evil. That's all. Four days and three nights when you can be teenagers again. Now, if you don't have anymore questions, I'll show you the house, and I'll take you straight to your favorite room, Duo."
"And what room would that be?"
"The kitchen, Duo," said Quatre.
"Quatre, that was cruel and mean."
"It's the truth Maxwell and you know it. So shut up and let's go inside," proclaimed Wufei. Duo just gave him a 'watch your back' look and they headed towards the house.
*****
As the gang entered the house, it could have been Quatre's house. The lobby was a bit smaller then Quatre's but the rest of the house was huge! First floor. There was the spacious living room with comfortable furniture and a state of the art entertainment system. The room itself was a pale colour, yet cozy and the floor was a bit darker then the walls, but it was soft and comfortable enough to sit on. The kitchen looked like it was for a fancy restaurant, both in size and in appliances. The counter tops were big enough for ten people to put butter on their toast at the same time and there'd still be enough room for more people. The refrigerator was enormous and could hold enough food for them, without Duo of course, to last for months and months before running out of food. The stove and microwave were clean and working, unlike some safe houses they'd stayed at. Attach to the kitchen was a medium sized wood deck with six chairs and a hot tub. Here you could, from what Syira told them, look and watch stars on a clear night. The bathroom was like any bathroom, just a bit biggier, and more expensive looking. There was even a fencing room, with padded walls, a soft floor, and a locker with swords and padding for four people. The fencing room door was at the far right side of the room, while the kitchean was to the far left side of the room. The living room was to the right of the lobby when they entered, and the bathroom was inbetween the kitchen and the staircase.
Up the staircase was a long hallway with 3 bedroom doors on each side of the wall. Each room had a double bed, a closet, a lamp, a desk, a clock, a bathroom, and a small porch. Also, you could enter into a neighbouring room, not just through the hallway, but through a door on the side of the wall, so the person in the middle could so to either room beside them, while the other rooms could only enter the middle room, however you could lock your doors if you didn't want one to entering. The order of who was sleeping in which room went like this:
____
Heero ] [ Wufei
Duo ] [ Trowa
Syira ] [ Quatre
[AN: Hey, like my little drawing? It was the easiest way to explain who was sleeping where. Besides, diagrams are usually easier to understand. Look at my house description! I didn't think it'd be that long. Wow!]
Once the rooms were established, everyone went to the kitchean to grab some food, but Syira went out to get some firewood incase of a power outage. However, Duo had caught her trying to get out and he didn't want her going out by herself into the snow covered forest by herself, so he managed to get Quatre to go with her. Trowa didn't like it that either one of them were going out, seeing how it was already starting to become dark, but he knew that it'd be safe with the two of them going out together so the two headed out. Syira grabbed her coat and they went off in search of firewood, however, within a couple minutes, a heavy snow storm hit the area and they soon could see very little infront of them. They were able to stagger through the storm long enough to find a large enough cave for the two of them to hide from the howling snow. There was a large pile of dried pieces of kindling, so Syira made a small fire with some matches in her pocket, and gathered around it when it was finally lit.
"It looks like we're going to be stuck out here all night, judging by the storm," she remarked as she looked out at the storm. The wind was blowing the snow hard and the snow was falling fast, covering any trails leading them back to the house.
"Yyyeeeaaahhh," agreed a shivering Quatre. She looked at Quatre as he shivered, so she walked over to him and handed him her coat.
"Here. Use my coat."
"Bbbuutt it's freezzzinggg Syyyii. Woonn't you ggeet ccoolldd?" Syira shock her head.
"I'm use to the cold, so I don't notice it as much as you do. I can go without a coat til we get back. Take it Quatre. You need it more then me. I can handle the cold." Quatre looked at Syira for a moment before taking the coat and putting it on.
"Tthhaannks." Quatre found a dry place close to the fire, laid down, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
******
When Quatre woke up, he looked outside and saw that the storm was still blowing hard, and that the fire had long gone out. He looked around the cave and saw Syira curled up up near to the other side of the cave, and deep asleep. He walked over to her, kneeled, placed the back of his hand against her cheek, and quickly pulled it out. Syira felt like an ice berg! He laid down beside her, wrapped her in the coat, pulled himself close to her, and wrapped his arms around her. It took him awhile before he eventually fell asleep.
