Gundam Wing

Days Gone By...

"WOOOOOHOOOOOO! YEA! Come on, Heero! You can do it. Ha haaaa! And I thought you could do everything Mr. Perfect Solider!"

Heero was having a difficult time skiing down the slop and had several accidents along the way. Duo got the hang of skiing quickly and was showing off the skills he acquired over the small time that they were at Quatre's resort.

"Kuso…" Heero murmured angrily as he was starting to get the hang of it but just couldn't quit get it. He figured the more he glared at the equipment the better it would be cooperative… but that was not the case.

Everyone they trusted during the war was there. Sally Po, who was currently teasing Wufei about his Nataku snowman, was happy to see that everyone was okay. It seemed as though she was keeping tabs on the Chinese warrior. It was a curious thought of how long they kept in touch during the war and its quiet times.

Quatre and Trowa were going down the gentle slops side by side. It seemed as though they were having a nice conversation and keeping each other much wanted and pleasant company.

All in all, everyone was having fun and it was a vacation that was to be yearned by all. But that didn't mean that Mr. Duo Maxwell was going to go easy on anyone for the braided teen had much hidden up his sleeve.

Out of the corner of his eye, Duo watched as Wufei and Sally were talking and he stopped by in front of Heero to tease him.

"What's wrong there, buddy? Can't get the hang of it?" Heero only frowned at him and glared at the ski equipment.

"Perhaps mine is defective and does not grip the snow well." Duo busted out laughing and this only made Heero glare at him.

"Hee-chan. There is no grip that the bottom of the skis. It's all balance and the movement. If anything they wax the bottom of the skis to make them slicker." Heero picked up his boot and analyzed the ski while Duo bent down to make a snowball and threw it at Wufei. It landed directly on the teen's face and a yelp was heard.

"Hey Heero, Wufei is looking at you."

Poor Heero was still upset about his skis but he turned his glare over to Wufei and when they locked eyes, Wufei called out the death of Heero.

"What? What is he talking about, Duo?" When he turned to see Duo, the baka was laughing his ass off on the ground and Heero finally made the connection. "You threw that snow ball at him and now he's after me. Well I'll just make sure he knows who really did it."

Duo could not stop laughing and had gathered tears at the corners of his squinted purple eyes.

"He...won't, hahahahaha, believe you." Duo did another round of laughter as the Chinese man stalked over to the two. All Heero did was gather up a large... gigantic snowball and held it out to Wufei. He pointed to Duo and Wufei saw the laughing pilot and right then and there, it all clicked. Wufei grinned and carefully took the snowball and with a windup, threw the snowball at Duo's face. The ball was almost the size of his face but it hit him dead on and Duo went flying backwards and did a side roll. This earned everyone to stop and laugh at the braided teen frantically wiping his face and spitting out snow.

"Hey! How could you? I didn't do it!"

"I swear, Maxwell, you are an injustice to all!"

Quatre and Trowa decided to go near the commotion and snickered at Wufei's remark.

"It wasn't me!" Duo tried to plead but the Chinese pilot would have none of it.

"And to what purpose would it serve Yuy to throw a snowball at me?" Wufei glared, but a joyous light shined in his eyes.

"The same reason anyone would throw a snowball at you. Because you're you, Wuffy Chang!"

Wufei glared and Quatre and Sally laughed out loud.

No one saw it coming because they all felt that the two would-be pranksters were insight. Duo didn't see a tight, compacted snowball fly towards him. Didn't know that it would be snowball number two to hit his cold red face… but it did and he fell back with an "umph!" Neither did the poor Wufei know that a quick snowball followed up and hit him on the other side of his face.

Heero had snuck away without anyone noticing and hide by a shed. He gathered up a small mound of snowball ammunition and was ready to fight. He grinned and threw another at Trowa, hitting him on the shoulder and got the retreating Sally and Quatre in the back.

Duo was the first to recover at the assault and yelled at Heero,

"What the hell was that for?" Duo growled as he tried to scramble away to safety and quickly glanced to see another snowball fly his way. He dove into the ground and the ball missed him by inches.

Everyone heard it but couldn't believe it. Heero was laughing and hiding behind that secure wall gave him a light of innocence and the fun that they should be having at that age. To them all, it didn't look like a bunch of soldiers taking a well rested vacation before going out to kill again. They all seemed like regular kids having an enjoyable time and that was what started the snowball war between the pilots. It was fun and they didn't have any other care in the world at that moment but getting even with Heero.

"Heero!" Sally yelled from behind another tree across the way from the 01 pilot. "I'm so going to get you and shove this snowball down your throat!"

Wufei tried to creep behind Heero but another snowball hit him in the back of the head.

"Do you really think I'm going to let you have the first hit on him?" Duo yelled as he ran behind several trees with an arm full of snowballs. Before Wufei could respond, he got hit with another on his shoulder and he dove behind a tree.

"Why are you attacking ME!? This is INJUSTICE!" Wufei peaked from behind the tree to see where that snowball hand came from and was shocked.

"Onna!? Why would you assault me and not the one who started it?" He yelled and watched out carefully as snowballs began flying.

"Well I thought Duo's reason was pretty good! You're not going to get that first hit!"

Heero had the best spot. There was a shed behind him and some equipment off to the side that helped him gather cover. He hadn't gotten hit once and from the way things were going, he was going to come out with no hits at all. He grinned and started whipping the snowballs where Quatre and Trowa were. He got someone's leg and so far, gotten everyone with two, three or more hits.

"Trowa, Heero is not getting hit at all." Trowa tossed a snowball at Heero like a grenade but most likely, it didn't land on him. He looked up to see a ledge of snow hanging over the wing pilot and smiled.

"Quatre, call a truce to the other pilots and tell them to pass the word along." Azure eyes stared up into emerald questioningly.

"Why would we do that?"

After Trowa explained, and ducking for cover several times, he called over to Sally and she 'eeped' in glee as she told Wufei and he told Duo. They stopped throwing snowballs at each other and saw several fly from Heero's direction.

Heero looked out and stopped throwing.

'Why did they stop?' He wondered. There was something going on but he didn't know what they were planning.

'It's got to be a plan…' But as he tried to take a few seconds to figure it out, a barrage of snowballs came flying at him. He ducked behind his wall and smiled,

"There's no way you guys can get me back here!" He yelled smugly. Something registered in his head that the snowballs were not hitting his wall or the outer parts of it. They were aimed high and when he looked up, he finally knew what they had planned.

'Uh oh…'

And in a last ditch effort to escape, Heero tried to dive away but there was too much snow hanging over the roof and it all collapsed on top of him.

Duo was next to Sally and gave her a high five!

"Yesss! Awesome plan Tro!" They all trudged over there and found that Heero half succeeded in digging himself out. He was covered from head to toe in snow and his face was red with cold. He seemed at first angry but the happiness in his eyes gave away that it was all in good fun.

"We got you bad!" Duo ruffled Heero's hair, snow sprinkling around his head in a light mist.

"Yea you did. I did not even to think about the overhanging snow. But I still win."

Sally put her hands on her hips.

"How do you figure? You were drenched in snow!" They all laughed and Quatre made the point for Heero.

"He got us all several times, I think. I know he got me three times."

"Yea, you all just ganged up on me." Heero retorted as he was trying to brush all the snow off of his hair and face.

"I think we should go in and have some hot chocolate. I'm getting cold out here." Sally suggested and Quatre backed her up on that thought.

"That's a wonderful idea, Sally." They all began trudging toward the lodge with Heero and Duo bringing up the rear.

"That was fun! But you only got me twice, Heero." His amethyst gaze was received as a small challenge to Heero, unbeknownst to the braid teen.

"Heh, that is still two for me and none for you." Heero was trying the skis again but fell and Duo laughed.

"You are never going to get it! You're just too clumsy!" Duo walked away from Heero and put his hands behind his head.

"I can finally say that I beat you at something! And you are not better than I at skiing. Oh yea!"

Heero took the skis off and walked up behind Duo.

"Well that still makes me three snowballs higher than you." Duo stopped and tilted his head.

"Three? You only had-" Heero jerked back the back collar of Duo's jacket and shoved the snowball inside, right against his hot skin.

Duo screamed and Heero began running away, laughing while a squirming Duo pursued him.
"Oh MY GOD! That is cold! You are sooo DEAD! HEERO! You hear me!? DEAD! I'm gonna 'OMAE O KOROSU' YOUR ASS!!!"
