Gundam Wing: New Age

Prologue: The Reunion

By: Angel_BlueFlame

Year: AC 209

Place: Yuy Mansion

"Heero!" Relena called from downstairs, "Get down here. The guests will be arriving soon!"

"I'll be down when I'm ready to come down," Heero responded. Relena sighed and glanced down at their five-year-old daughter, Angel.

Angel looked like her mother with her father's eyes. She's usually kind, but can be very stubborn.

An idea popped into Relena's head, "Go get your father," she smiled.

"Okay, Mommy!" she replied with a smile. She immediately ran up the stairs, tripping once or twice.

Relena raised three fingers, and lowered them one at a time as she quietly counted, "3...2...1." At one, she heard footsteps come down the stairs. She looked up to she Heero with his daughter in his arms. Relena laughed, "Your daughter rules you." Heero just gave his wife a small grin, already seeing it useless to argue.

The doorbell rang. Heero placed Angel on the floor as Relena ran to answer the door. Milliardo and Noin walked through the door with their son, followed by Trowa and his children.

Eight-year-old Aaron Peacecraft walked beside his mother with his arms crossed. He obviously didn't want to be here. He has Milliardo's platinum blonde hair and piercing ice blue eyes.

Rachel Barton and her younger brother, Devon, walked closely behind their father. Rachel was six and Devon was four. Rachel looked like a female version of her father (without the weird hair-do), and Devon had his late mother's jet-black hair and Trowa's green eyes.

Milliardo didn't attempt to make any eye contact with Heero. Ever since Heero and Relena's wedding, Milliardo just ignored Heero, which was perfectly fine with Relena, as long as they weren't fighting.

Noin was the first to speak, "Aaron, go play with Angel."

Aaron rolled his eyes and looked at his father, who gave him one of those `Don't-start-with-me' looks. He rolled his eyes again and followed Angel to the backyard. Rachel walked after them followed by Devon.

"How many more people are we expecting, exactly?" Heero asked.

Relena pulled out her mental list of guests, "Let's see. There's Quatre, Catherine, their kids, Connor and Jordan, Wufei, Sally, and their children, Li and Min, and Duo, Hilde, and their children, Duo Jr. and Diana."

Connor and Jordan (who is a girl) both have blonde hair. Connor has Quatre's blue eyes, and Jordan has Catherine's color eyes. Connor, like his cousin Rachel, is six. Jordan was born on the exact same day as Devon.

Li and Min are twins and are five. Li is his father's `Mini Me' in almost every way. Min has raven black hair and blue eyes.

Duo Jr. (called Duo by all the other kids) lives up to his name, meaning Duo Jr. looks exactly like a seven year old Duo. Five-year-old Diana is a daddy's little girl. Like her brother, she has long brown hair and blue eyes, although her hair is longer. She also keeps her hair in a braid.

Two hours later, all the guests had arrived. The women were in the kitchen, and the kids were in the backyard, being watched by their fathers. The ten children were busy playing Duck, Duck, Goose. Little four-year-old Jordan Winner, Jordie for short, was "it".

"Duck," she tapped the top of Rachel's head, "duck," she tapped the top of Angel's head, "duck," she tapped the top of Min's head. She paused for a short moment before slapping the back of Li's head and yelling, "GOOSE!" Li chased her for two circles before Jordie made it safely to the empty spot that was his. He growled as he began his turn as "it".

He touched the tops of Devon, Connor, and Aaron's heads, declaring them as "ducks". He stopped right behind Diana, pushed her and yelled goose. He had almost made one full circle before she tackled him to the ground right behind Aaron. (AN: Doesn't it just suck when you get tagged when you're just one step away?)

Diana giggled as she got off of him; "You gotta go to the middle!"

"I know that, baka onna!" he yelled, angrily. Diana scowled, brought her fist back, and punched Li right in the mouth.

"My name is Diana, you dumb a..." Duo picked his daughter and covered her mouth with his hand just in time. He gave an embarrassed laugh.

"Where does she pick up this stuff?" he laughed, with his daughter under his arm.

"My question, exactly," Hilde glared at her husband from the door.

"Cursing at age five," Wufei smirked, "You should be so proud," he added with sarcasm.

"Actually," Hilde began, "it's age four, when she called Duo Jr. something I will not repeat."

"Besides, Wufei, I thought you were teaching your kids to fight," Duo remarked, taking his hand away from his youngest's mouth.

"I taught my son not to fight little girls," Wufei sneered.

"Well, that's too bad," Diana began, "Cuz I fight little shit heads." Duo got his hand over her mouth too late, and this time Diana bit his hand, hard. Duo yelped in pain, and handed Diana to Hilde. Hilde snickered.

"If you hadn't accidentally shown her how to curse, this wouldn't have happened. Come along Oniko*, I think it's time for a time-out." Hilde carried a pouting Diana back into the house. Duo followed her, with his hand in his mouth, wondering how his five-year-old could bite hard enough to draw blood.

Li wiped the blood on his lip onto his sleeve. Min was roaring in laughter, "Man, you got your butt kicked by a Maxwell kid!" she squealed.

"Quiet, daughter," Wufei ordered his daughter sternly.

"Yes, Father," she said, trying her hardest to suppress her giggles.

In the kitchen, the women were carrying on a conversation. Hilde came back after leaving Diana with Duo in the living room.

She let out a sigh and then spoke, "She's a little tomboy. I bought three dresses for her last week. When I told her that she was going to wear a dress today, she told me that she didn't have any. I thought she was telling a story so that she wouldn't have to wear a dress, but when I went to her closet, they were all gone. I looked at the bottom of her closet, and there they were, all three dresses, in shreds."

The three other women gasped, and then laughed.

"Rachel's so polite," Catherine noted, "Trowa's doing a good job of raising her. It's hard to believe it's been four years since Jennifer died. She and I went into labor with Devon and Jordie at the same time. They're practically twins."

"Speaking of twins," Relena began, to get off a depressing subject, "Sally, what's it like raising a set of twins?"

"With Wufei around, it's like raising three children," Sally replied. The others chuckled, "He spends all day training them, and then greets me with `Onna! Where's dinner?'. It's so frustrating! He wants another son, but I'm ready to have another daughter, just to spite him."

"Well, I already know that Heero wants to start training Angel when she's older, but I don't think she'll want to."

"Either that, or you don't want her to," Catherine added.

"Both," Relena replied, "She just doesn't strike me as the kind of person who will want to fight."

"Unlike my Oniko," Hilde smiled.

In the backyard, Duo, followed by Diana, walked back outside with a camera in one had and a bandage around the other.

"Oi! I wanna get a few shots of the kids," he smiled. He rounded the children and put them in two lines in this order:

(Back): Angel, Connor, Duo Jr., Aaron, Rachel, and Diana

(Front): Li, Devon, Jordie, and Min.

Duo took 3 shots. He'd get double prints, and each family would have a picture of the children on this day.
