A/N Okay, I know that you all just LOVE hearing from me, so you get an author's note before AND after. Aren't you just so excited!!! Seriously, I just wanted to say good job diamondgirl for picking up on who Etrea thought Heero was (that's a funny sentence). That's really important to this story, and [cackles evilly] you find out about that in this chapter!! RA-HAAAAA-Ha-HAAAAA!!!!!!!! Also, never fear all of you girlfriend-don't-want-ers, I don't plan on a girl in Heero's life, just friends. Might be one in a certain other character's, whom you haven't met yet...but that's still undecided. Something else I need input on-does anyone want to see the other Gundam Pilots? I haven't decided if they should be in this story or not. I have plenty of space to put them in-right now, the way I've planned the story, it's over thirty chapters long. Remember, I warned you that this was going to be a long story. Anyway, on with the story...

After the brief meeting with Valcor and Etrea, Heero wandered around the neighborhood, accidentally stumbling onto a library. He spent the rest of his time there before heading back to his dormitory.

When he opened the door, a boy with shaggy brown hair had his back turned to him at the closet next to Heero's. Heero assumed that this was his roommate, but what struck was the fact that he was of average height. In fact, he was no taller than Heero. He had been expecting some goliath boy with feet as long as his arms.

"Hey, you must be Heero! I'm Huy," the boy said cheerfully as he turned around.

Heero almost fell backward as he found himself face to face with what appeared to be himself.

Huy's mouth hung open on its hinges as he stared wide-eyed at Heero. Finally, after several minutes of silence, Huy regained control of himself. "Aren't you going to gawk like an idiot back?" he asked, his voice light yet laced with something Heero could not identify…it was almost excitement, maybe? But Heero couldn't understand why.

"No," Heero returned shortly and put a book that he had checked out down on his desk.

He could see Huy raising an eyebrow at him in the corner of his perifieal vision. "Well, I can see that you are a very talkative person," Huy commented sarcastically. "Diner starts in ten, so we had better hurry. Has anyone shown you around yet?" Huy asked, apparently no longer dwelling on their similar appearances, as they left the building.

"No. I've only met a golden retriever and an exasperated student. I believe that she thought I was you," Heero told him.

"Why, who was it? Did she call you Huy or something?" he asked.

"It was a girl named Etrea Stikas, and it was 'or something,' " Heero answered.

Huy grinned. "Uho. She's cute, especially when she's chasing Valcor," he told Heero with an evil grin as they rounded a corner and crossed a street.

They arrived at the cafeteria some five minutes later, weaving their way through masses of hungry teenagers to the lines. "What classes do you have?" Huy asked as he grabbed a tray.

"Physics, Calculus, English, gym, drafting, a computer language," Heero decided to skip the full titles.

Huy nodded. "Hey, watch out for that gray stuff," he said, pointing to a mass of gray goop in a serving tray. "It's actually pretty good, but I stopped eating it when it hoped off of Jimbo's tray…I'll introduce you to Jimbo and everyone else when we sit down… Anyway, some of this stuff is scary, like the blue baloney," Huy shuddered at the memory.

Heero nodded, "I'll have to remember all of that."

They squeezed their way to a long table on the left side of the room. Huy grabbed to chairs from another table and handed one to Heero as they sat down at the end next to three other boys.

"Hey Huy, did you figure out…" a tall black teenager trailed off as he looked at Huy and Heero.

"Boy, this could be fun," Huy whispered out of the corner of his mouth to Heero. "Did I figure out what?" he asked innocently.

"Hey, man with drinks comm'in through," a plump brown headed boy grinned as he took an empty seat on the other side of the table.

"Hey you guys, this is my new roomy, Heero. Heero, this is Jimbo Brightman," he said pointing to the dark boy, "Neas Abish," he pointed to a tan Arabian, "Kumen Basish," the large blond stared openly at Heero, "and Culver McNeal," he finished as he pointed to a dirty-blond headed boy.

Kumen's mouth finally snapped shut and Culver asked what they were all wondering. "Any relation?"

"Yuy and Iwasato, do they sound related?" Huy asked.

The boys look incredulous, but apparently decided to drop the subject of Huy and Heero's similar appearances because they didn't mention it again.

When they returned to the dorms, Heero only new one thing…tomorrow was going to be ackward. Everyone seemed to know Huy and that meant that everyone would think that he WAS Huy, but they were completely different. Huy was friendly and talkative, whereas Heero have a look on his face that made you want to ask 'who's dead now?' .

Those thoughts were banished from Heero's mind as he sat down in a circle with the other five boys learning some stupid card game. He would worry about that tomorrow.

A/N Who is this Huy guy? Is it possible for them to just look alike, or is there something else going on? You'll have to read to find out!
