Gundam Wing; Family

Authors note; this is about 4 years after Endless Waltz occurred. I think Relena and the gundam pilots are like twenty but I'm not sure. Relena has finally gotten a hold of all *ahem* *cough* HEERO *cough* the gundam pilots and all of her old friends and invited them to stay at the Sanq Kingdom. Also, Dr. J and the others who created the gundams have rebuilt them and therefore Duo, Quatre, Wufei, Trowa, and Heero are all gundam pilots again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHAPTER ONE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relena, Noin, and Zechs sat on the picnic blanket in the middle of the small woods that was pretty much their back yard waiting for the rest of their party to arrive. Duo, Heero, Quatre, Wufei, Trowa, Cathrine, Hildy, and Sally Po were supposed to be meeting them there.

"Hello Relena," Trowa said, walking up to them followed by Cathrine, Hildy, and Sally, who was dragging Wufei by his legs.

"INJUSTICE!!!!!" Wufei was screaming.

Relena giggled. "Oh good! You brought extra food. With Duo's appetite we'll need it."

Suddenly they heard a very familiar maniacal laugh.

"Speaking of the baka," Hildy said.

"Duo, give me my goggles back!" Quatre yelled, chasing after Duo.

Heero, who was screaming, "Omae o korosu", was chasing them both!

"Jeez Heero! We're sorry about you're dumb computer! It wasn't our fault it broke!" Duo yelled.

"You shouldn't have been looking at your stupid porn on my computer anyways BAKA!!!!!" Heero yelled.

"We're sorry oka- AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Duo tripped and fell on his butt.

Heero caught up with him and held a gun to Duo's chest.

"Oh please don't hurt me!" Duo said in a mocking voice, "Please, oh mighty God of Self-Destruction! Spare me!"

Heero took a step backwards and lowered the gun. "What the hell!?!"

Duo stood up and ran towards the food. "Ha ha ha ha ha! I'm the God of Death! I'm the God of Death! I've conquered the God of Self-Destruction! Oh yeah. Here you go goggle-boy." Duo held out Quatre's goggles.

Quatre snatched them away and glared at Duo.

Heero calmly walked over and sat between Relena and Duo.

*I should protect Relena from him. He's a bit too flirtatious. * He thought.

Relena carried on a conversation with anybody who was willing to listen. Currently, that person was Quatre. He was whispering something in her ear, when she suddenly gasped and giggled.

"No," she whispered, "He wouldn't!"

"He would," Quatre said.

Heero began to wonder if they were talking about him. He suspected they were, for they kept looking up at him.

Suddenly Relena gasped and squealed, "You're kidding me!"

Heero smiled to himself. Duo caught this and made a mental note.

"Ey Eeru, paff da muftad pwees." Duo said through a mouthful of food.

In truth he was trying to say "Hey Heero, pass the mustard please," but his mouth was full.

Hildy tugged on his braid >>more of a leash if you ask me<<, "Chew now, talk later."

Heero handed Duo the mustard. "Here you go," he said. Then realization hit him and he yelled, "Oh my God! I just under stood him!!"

Relena giggled again. Heero gave her a stern look and her giggles turned into full out laughter. He smiled, suppressing the urge to laugh with her.

"Hey Heero," Duo said swallowing, "You're in love with Relena right?"

"Wha- what?" Heero said, spitting his food all over Zechs' face.

Zechs stood up. "Is that a challenge?!" he yelled.

"Sit down Zechs," Noin said, pulling Zechs down.

"Well, you do don't you?" said Duo, ignoring Zechs.

"I- well- uh… er… um… well- you… she… I… uh… y-you love Hildy!" Heero said, searching frantically for something to change the subject to. Anything but his feelings for Relena would do.

"Yeah, so what? Everybody knows that." said Duo smiling at Hildy, "But do you love Relena? That's what we'd all like to know, I'm sure."

"I wouldn't." said Zechs.

"Shut up, Zechs." said Noin.

Heero began stuttering as Relena looked at him curiously. And then he did something unthinkable. He blushed. Duo's mouth fell open. Quatre smiled knowingly. All the girls looked at Relena and smiled.

Suddenly there was a whistling sound, like something being dropped. Heero knew that sound.

"Get down!" he yelled, throwing himself on top of Relena, shielding her from the shower of debris that was thrown on them when the bomb hit. When the rubble cleared they got up.

Everybody was in pretty good shape except Heero and Relena. Heero was covered in cuts, bruises, and gashes all over the back of him. Relena's right leg hadn't been completely covered, and was bloody and mangled. She removed the branch that had fallen onto her leg and attempted to stand up. It gave way and she collapsed onto Heero.

"Ouch! Dammit!" she exclaimed. *I hate looking so helpless*

Heero tore off a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around her leg. She looked into his eyes. "Thank you," she whispered.

"Huh? Yeah… uh… no problem." he mumbled.

"We should be getting back to the house >>though you can hardly call it just a house<< and telling the police about this assassination attempt," Zechs said narrowing his eyes.

"Right," Heero said, picking Relena up and carrying her over to where the others were waiting.

Relena's heart skipped a beat and Heero's pulse quickened. He was angry with himself for reacting like this simply because they were so close. But he didn't let his emotions show. He kept his ever emotionless downright frigid, look on his face.

They had walked little more than six yards when Heero suddenly collapsed. Relena looked at him with concern. Then she turned to the others, who had stopped when Heero collapsed, and said,

"You guys go ahead. Heero and I are going to camp out in my old clubhouse. He can't go any further."

Zechs gave her a suspicious look.

"Don't worry, Zechs. We're both very responsible people," she said.

Though it gave him little to no reassurance, Zechs nodded and beckoned the others to follow him up to the house.

Author's note- so what do you think? I had this written down but that version was kind of- BLECH! So I'm pretty much making this up as I go. I'm sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes or any weird time or age mix-ups. If you enjoyed this chapter, then read the next one.
