Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or anything affiliated with it. I do, however, own everything in this fic that you don’t recognize.
Author’s note:Thankies for all of you who were very kind to review me, and to you I will reply XD
bekkalynn - exuberant pleading normally gets you what you want... I shall put more of the “Who-loves-Duo-more?”
Weebesom88– You made a very good point about the ozzie connection with Zechs, and truthfully, I hadn’t realized I even did that -smacks forehead-
Kami-Crimson– Thanks for stickin’ by me through all of my GW fics. And yes, there will some more Wuffles in the fic for just you.
Jenny D- there will be a love triangle, of that you can be sure. There’d be no drama without it. Thank you for the compliments!
Snowdragon- I will make thee the promise that Relena will NOT end up marrying Heero as she think she has planned. I did want to make Duo a bit more mature considering he is 21. You know. Maybe he’s always been mature, just,... needed a respite from the war so he put up a jokers mask. And c’mon, the G-boys all need a bit of recognition for what they did. And you weren;t behind. I had been camping and was bored, so I created three chapters to fill you all in since I was not here to update.
Wind dancer1981- Thank you bunches. I am working as fast as my scedule will allow.
Shinyobssessed– Damn straight. Deathscythe kicks ass, ans so does Duo come to think of it. I don’t think people give his intelligence enough credit, and that’s sad... really sad.almost as sad as people not giving the Wu man credit as well.
Warnings: Sexuality, innuendo, language.
Chapter Six: What’s Up People?!
And I don’t want the world to see me
Cuz I don’t think that they’d understand
when everything’s meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am.

Duo had woken up after a good night sleep. He hadn’t had one of those in a while, not even back on earth. But there was something about the new apartment, the newness, and the fact that it all belonged to him, that made him sleep easy. Which, in itself was a feat considering he remembered the sleepless nights he had as a child. He got up and had taken a shower, something he reveled in. Once he’d stepped out, his cell phone began to ring. Walking over to it in a towel, hair flopped around him in a wet tangled mess, he flipped it open and put it on speaker phone.
“Good morning General Maxwell.” Duo grinned, picking up a brush to run through his hair.
“Yo, Zechs, sup buddy?”
“I am calling to inform you that.. As Miss Une put it in her instruction letter, your “Marlene” has arrived...” he said as if reading the letter right before him. Duo smiled and looked out the window to the curb below. Sitting there was a black Mustang, an 20th Century model.
“Woooo, Une lady, to the I proclaim my love... well, I would if I were straight and liked women.” he said
“Are you going to tell me who or what this Marlene is?” Zechs asked
“You’ll just have to wait till I come blowing into work.”
“I see, well, then, is there anything else that you need before you come in?” Zechs asked.
“Why, you my secretary or something?” Duo asked, dropping the towel and reaching into the closet to get his clothing
“No, but as Grand General, you deserve the respect of your subordinates.” he replied. Duo sighed and shook his head.
“Everyone’s my equal as long as they can survive, so I don’t wanna hear that shit.” Zechs listened on the other line intently. He should have known that Duo would be the person that did because he wanted to, and because he needed to, not because he wanted some sort of award out of it.
“Do forgive me Duo, I really didn’t think you’d mind being catered to.” he apologized.
“It’s not that, I don’t need catered to, I can ake care of myself. I’ll be catered to when I want to be catered to.” he said, fixing his shoes.
“Yessir.”
“Good, now, I’m gonna hang up with your sexy voice, so I can come into work to see your sexy ass.” He grinned cheekily at the obvious silence on the other end before hanging up and grabbing his jacket. Oh that morning was going to be very, very fun.

“Comma nder... are you alright?” Kenneth and his wife looked at the blond who was staring at the receiver of his phone like something had just bitten him into shock.
“Uh.. What? Oh, forgive me.” he put the phone down and ran a hand through his hair, giving it one last glance before looking up a them.
“Is something wrong sir?”
“Oh, nothing, just General Maxwell being his old self. Can I help the two of you?” back to composure, he looked at them levelly.
“Actually sir, we were wondering about General Maxwell’s prejudices.” Maria said
“Prejudices?”
“Sir, a fair few of us are ex-Oz pilots... and, well, General Maxwell is a gundam pilot..”
Zechs smiled and leaned back in his chair.
“Ah, I see the situation, and I believe you would have every right to believe you were in danger of these so called prejudices. However, you need not worry, Duo is not the type of person to hold grudges. Actually, he gladly fought along side me fully knowing I had once worked side by side with Treize Kushrenada. You will learn in time the kind of person he is, and you’ll follow him even more blindly.” he said
“That...thank you sir, tha’ makes us feel a bit more safer and a lot more comfortable.” Kenneth bowed his head.
“Sir, when is General Maxwell coming in?” Maria asked. Zechs looked down at his watch and then out the window.
“Actually, he’s due in about.. Well, what do you know, there he is... shall we go meet him?” Zechs stood and the couple looked at each other. The silently followed him out to the front where there was a small group of people pointing towards the end of the plane runway. Zechs crossed his arms as he watched the black car rolling down slowly.
“Ah.. So that’s Marlene...” he said as there was a loud roar.
“Listen to the horsepower on that baby.” Kenneth breathed. Suddenly, screeching tires filled the air and the black vehicle seemed to be gliding down the runway on the black top. A few of the mechanics hooted and hollered, until they realized that the car was not stopping.
“He’s not stopping sir.”
“Oh, you’ll be alright.” Zechs said nonchalantly.
“Sir.. He’s heading right for us.”
“We’re fine.”
“SIR!” the soldiers around him backed up.
Duo spun the wheel of the mustang as it drifted to a stop, not even an inch away from Zech who hadn’t moved from the very spot he’d watched the car approaching from. The driver’s door opened and the braided pilot stepped out, grinning.
“Well, how’d I do?” he asked, pulling the sunglasses over onto his head.
“You haven’t lost your touch Duo, I was almost frightened there for a second.” Zechs said, chuckling.
“Well, y’know, it’s so much easier to stop a gundam than stopping a car.” he looked around at the soldiers that were peering at him from safe distances.
“What’s their malfunction?” he asked. Zechs looked back at them.
“They don’t know you yet.” he said.
“Oh.. Well, guess that’ll have to change ne?” Duo turned to the masses and put his hands on leather clad hips.
“Alright ya pansies! Line em up!” he yelled. No one moved.
“What, ya deaf? I said line em up... NOW!” They moved quickly, every single person lining up. Duo watched.
“Jumpy bunch...” he muttered.
“You are forgetting that we haven’t had that much to work with, but, there are many of them that are Ex-Oz soldiers..” Duo put a hand to his chin.
“That may work to our advantage... got a pen and tablet?”
“Not on me, but I can get you one.” Zechs nodded to the closest soldier. She nodded and saluted them before running into the building.
“What do you have in mind Duo?” Zechs asked curiously.
“The ozzies have experience under their belts. They know war, they know weaponry... and they know fighting. That means that they are as good as we can go for teachers right now. Since we’re low on resources and teaching ability, we’ll improvise.” he said as the girl came back out, pen and tablet in her arms.
“Thanks darling.” she nodded and took her spot once more.
“What training regimen you got these kids on?” Duo asked, un-capping the pen with his teeth.
“Not much so far, just the basics.” Duo nodded.
“Well, we’ll have to change that... Alright, listen up and quiet down so ya’ll can hear me,” Duo said. “ I want every single ex-oz soldier to step over to my right. Don’t worry, I’m not executing you or anything.” he said, seeing a few weary looks. Slowly, but steadily, the soldiers began to move to the right. Duo counted them.
“Good, that’s a good hundred people, good enough for what I need them for.” he mumbled, writing some stuff down on the tablet. Zechs watched him with a growing sense of respect. The man wasn’t there more than half an hour and he was getting down to business.
“Right...” Duo finally said, looking down at the tablet.
“You have a plan then?” Zechs inquired.
“It’s a shitty attempt at one, but it’ll work for now... I’m going to need uh...” he looked back down at his list.
“Fve people picked out for my own team out of all of them standing.”
“Team?”
“We’re going back to old systems. There will be as many as one hundread teams of six.. They’ll be going out on the missions we’ll set up later. For now they’re going to serve as teamwork strengtheners... we need to get basics out of the way before we can do anything.”
With that said, the general and the commander and a few subordinates began preparations, dismissing the soldiers back to their activities. The once rarely used conference room was now being used as it was meant. Duo and the team of cooridnators worked furiously until Duo couldn’t take it anymore and compained about his lack of coffee. Even as Zechs watched him grumble and compain, he saw the determination set in Duo’s eyes as he scribbled down notes and passages. Yes, they did have themselve a good General.
So sorry it’s taken so long to update, and even more sorry because it’s a terrible way to end a chapter. Anyways, things have been a bit hectic here at home, so it’s going to be taking me a while to get to the chapters. I promise you though, you’ll get them. Just as well, I’m starting another fic, this one’s a Naruto one. So if there are any Naruto fans, try and check em out for meh ^^ R&R Plzkthnx
