Part 11

It was around 10:30 a.m. when Tanoshi woke up. To her surprise she was hugging something warm and comfortable. She looked up and saw Duo smiling down at her.

"Good morning."

Tanoshi smiled too. "Good morning Duo. I'm sorry, I must have grabbed onto you in my sleep."

"That's okay. I don't mind."

They got out of bed and woke Relena up, which was a mission all on it's own.

Once they were all awake they started packing up.

"Are you girls ready to go. If we're gonna make to the Sanc Kingdom today we better get going." Said Duo as he picked up the phone.

He dialed a number and then spoke. "Hey Quatre, I was wondering if you could arrange a ride for me. I need to take the princess back home today and I don't have a car. Okay we're at the Star hotel. Send someone over quick, we've gotta get going. Thanks man you're a life saver. I'll be back sometime tomorrow."

He hung up and turned to face the girls.

"Quatre's sending one the Maguanacs to take us to Sanc. Hurry up our ride'll be here soon."

Tanoshi grabbed her backpack and exited the room. Relena followed close behind, and Duo came out last.

They paid for the room and went outside to wait.


/**************************************/

A few minutes later a car rode up the driveway. It stopped in front of them and a guy came out.

"Hey Abdul, long time no see." Said Duo walking up to the guy Quatre had sent.

"It's nice to see you again Master Duo." He walked around the side of the car and opened the door for them.

Relena got in, then Duo, and last Tanoshi.

They started driving.

"Master Duo who is the girl you are with?"

"Oh that's right you've never met her. Abdul this is Tanoshi. Tanoshi this is Abdul, one of the Maguanacs. Tanoshi's a gundam pilot."

"Oh well it's a pleasure to meet you Mistress Tanoshi."

"It's nice to meet you as well, but why did you call me Mistress?"

Abdule smiled. "The Maguanacs are very grateful to you pilots for risking your lives in this war. We know that when the war is finally over it will be because of the Gundams."

"Oh, well thank you for having so much confidence in us."

The rest of the ride went by without much conversation. Duo and Tanoshi were pretty exhausted, and frankly Relena didn't feel like talking to them.


/**************************************/

Back at the school Suiri and Heero both got a mission sent to them.

It was a group mission. Everyone was to go destroy a base a few miles away in their Gundams. The girls went to the spot where they had left their gundams.

"Hey Sandslash, it seems we've got another mission."

They got into their gundams and traveled to the base they were to destroy. After about half an hour the girls got to the base, or what was left of it.

Someone was already destroying the base. Four mobile suits that looked like their own.

One of them turned around and looked at them. It was white, red, and blue. Suiri decided to try and communicate with the pilot.

"Who are you? Why did you destroy the base." The other pilot didn't answer her, but instead started attacking.

'Is this OZ's new armor? It's pretty good, but not good enough' she said as she dodged an attack by the enemy mobile suit.

She turned around and saw that the others were fighting similar mobile suits as well.

Shizuka was fighting off an enemy with a similar mobile suit. Actually they were almost identical.

"Shizuka are you okay?" Suiri asked as she blocked an attack from her enemy.

"Yeah, I'm okay. This guy's good, but not good enough I won't let him beat me."

Meiyo was fighting with all her strength and technique, but the pilot she was fighting was just as good.

"This is an injustice! First they complete our mission, and now they fight us!" Meiyo was extremely pissed off by the injustice of it all.

Her words got Aya thinking though.

'These guys destroyed the base. They only started fighting with us when Suiri tried to talk to that pilot. Something's not right. We shouldn't be fighting each other.'

She pushed the button of her com-link to talk to the others.

"Stop this! We shouldn't be fighting each other!" She ran out onto her cockpit to signify that the fight was over. She turned to the other Gundams.

They had stopped fighting but none of them would come out and see what this was all about. She turned back to see that the other pilot was coming out of his mobile suit. When she saw who it was she almost fell off of her Gundam.

"Q-Quatre?"

"Aya? Why are you..." He was suddenly at a loss for words.

Aya turned to face her friends.

"All of you get out of your mobile suits NOW!" they all got out even the guys. They didn't want to see this girl angry.

When they stepped out they were greeted with the same sight as Aya and Quatre.

"Meiyo?"

"Wufei?"

"Suiri?"

"Hee ro?"

"Shizuka?"

"Trowa?"

After this little exchange Quatre finally found his voice. "Um why don't we go back to the school. We can meet in Heero's room since Duo isn't around."

The others were too confused with what was going on to disagree, so they got back into their Gundams and headed for the school.



/**************************************/
Onc e at the school the nine confused soldiers headed for Heero's room. He opened the door and ushered them all inside.

"Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei, you can sit on my bed.

Suiri, you and your friends can sit on Duo's." he said as he pointed to the other bed. Heero took a seat next to Wufei.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Who are you guys?" inquired Trowa.

"Why were you at the base, and at this school?" asked Wufei.

Suiri decided to answer the question.

"We are Gundam Pilots. We were trained in the colonies and sent to earth to fight against OZ. We were at the base on a mission to destroy it, but you guys beat us to it."

Now Aya had a question. "Are you guys also Gundam pilots? I thought that us girls were the only ones."

"We thought we were the only ones until now." Quatre replied.

"It seems that the doctors didn't want us to meet. But they've made a mistake in sending us on the same missions."

"Does that mean that you guys are here for the data on the new suits?"

"Yeah, and I bet Duo and Tanoshi are both on the mission to save Relena. In a way I feel sorry for her."

Aya giggled. "Yeah sticking Relena with those two can't be fun."

Suiri suddenly had an idea. "Why don't we work together. We're both fighting OZ and have the same training. We already like each other, and it would really piss of Dr. J and the others to see that we've met and are working together."

Heero thought it over. "I accept. Let's work together."

The others let out breaths they didn't know they were holding, and smiled. They were gonna enjoy working together
