Six months after the reunion…
Heero and Duo were sitting in the family room talking and they got to the subject of Juno.
“So Heero, who exactly is Juno's mother? I know for a fact that it is not Relena.” Duo asked curiously.
“Actually Dr. J made her using my genetic material and he was going to train her if I failed,” Heero replied.
“But when did you actually find her?” Duo asked.
“After the war I took it as my mission to destroy all of Dr. J's labs. As I was about to destroy the last one I found Juno. She was only an infant at the time and Dr. J had frozen her. From then on I raised her.”
“Cool,” was all Duo could think of as a reply.

While Heero was telling Duo about Juno's past Juno was having a lot of fun on her computer.
She had just hacked into Relena's e-mail again and she was reading a discussion between Lady Une and Relena. She had done this many times before, but what they were discussing was definitely interesting. They were discussing the relationship between Heero and Duo.
Relena: I don't think it's healthy for Duo to be living with Heero. Just think what that poor child must be thinking having two fathers. She'll get the entirely wrong idea about marriage and family life.
Lady Une: But, you heard what Juno said?
Relena: Oh, I don't care what that brat says. I know that Heero only loves me. I'm not worried about Duo.
Lady Une: Relena dear, I hate to have to tell you this but you are delusional. GET A LIFE. I saw the looks that Heero gave Duo when Oz captured them. And I know for a fact that Duo returned them.
Juno clicked off the computer and thought, If daddy married Duo, I would have two daddies. No more Relena, and Duo would never have to leave (Something she was secretly afraid of).
“Well if my dad can stop a giant spaceship from hitting the earth and end a war all by himself, I can get those two together in a relationship,” pause, “wait, this is my dad we're talking about…this could be a minor setback.”
Juno went back over to her computer. She turned it on and began to hack into a news station. She would have them put a message on the front page of the paper.
“Hmmm… let's see, how about…”
`Heero loves Duo, Duo loves Heero'
“… no that's too blunt…Oh, I know. How about this?”
`01 loves 02, 02 loves 01'
“Much better.”
Juno went to bed very happy that night. Her plans had been set in motion. Even Duo and Heero noticed she was in a good mood. They wouldn't admit it out loud but, whenever she was in this mood, they became worried. She was up to something.
They learned what it was the next morning. Heero looked at his morning paper and saw an interesting line at the top: 01 loves 02 and 02 loves 01.
He looked at Juno and asked, “Did you write this?”
Juno smiled deviously and said, “Yes.”
Duo read the line and looked over at Juno and said, “Right on, Juno.”
Heero just looked from Juno to Duo and asked, “I won't win, will I?”
Juno smiled up at him and said, amused, “No.”

Heero was just sitting in the family room reading a book when Juno came in. He heard her come in and looked up at her wondering what she wanted. Juno had an innocent look on her face (that was a really bad sign) and asked, “Why won't you go out with Duo?”
Heero looked at her and said, “Because.”
“Why?”
“Because!”
“WHY?”
“BECAUSE.”
“Why? Give me a reason.”
“I CAN'T THINK OF ONE.”
Heero turned to Duo who had just arrived and was standing silently on the sidelines, which was an odd occurrence.
“Duo, aren't you going to help me?”
“No. I'm kind of curious why you won't go out with me.”
“My Dad, the world's perfect soldier, is afraid of rejection… Oh, the humiliation.”
Juno proceeded to put a paper bag over her head.
Heero looked at Juno. “Where did you get a dramatic gene?” He paused and said, “I'm not going to win am I?”
Juno smiled at Heero and replied, “Nope.”
“Okay, you win. Duo, when and where?”
“I have the perfect place in mind, and one more thing. I get to choose your outfit. No spandex.”
Heero looked at the floor defeated. “Fine.”
Juno was ecstatic, her plan was working. She watched Duo lead Heero upstairs. Fifteen minutes later they came down. Instead of his normal spandex and green tank top, Heero was wearing a blue silk shirt and khaki pants. She had to admit it looked good on him. Duo, instead of his priest outfit, was wearing a red silk shirt and black dress pants. The new outfit looked good on him too.
Heero and Duo walked over to Juno and Heero said,” Now Juno, I think you're old enough to take care of yourself while we are gone.”
“That and the fact that if you mention Juno and babysitter in the same sentence it will cause any person in a twenty mile radius to run away screaming or be reduced to a pile of incoherent mush.” (Little side note: Juno sees babysitters the same way Heero sees Oz soldiers. It's not a good combination . . . well, for the other side.)
“Yeah. See you later Juno.” Heero bent down and kissed her on her forehead and turned to leave. He stopped part way and turned slightly and said, “One more thing. Don't destroy too much of the house while we're gone.”
“Yes, daddy. I promise. Have a nice time.” They didn't see her fingers were crossed behind her back. Once they were gone she turned and smiled. “This is gonna be fun!”

Later a darkly clad figure slowly creped over to the Yuy house (Boy, he doesn't know what he's getting into does he). He came to the door and was about to pick the lock when he saw a very strange sign. It said:
We have a Colt 45 and a shovel
and six acres out back.
Do you honestly think anyone
will miss you or find the body?
The sign sent a chill down his spine. For the first time ever he was unsure if he should go on with the robbery. He shook the feeling off and kept reading.
Beware of Juno.
If you are reading this you
are not running fast enough.
We told you so don't blame us.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.
Those doubts he had earlier came back in full force, but somehow he pushed them down and proceeded to finish picking the lock. (Bad choice on his part wasn't it?) He finished picking the lock and he quietly opened the door. What he saw before him was completely unexpected. It was a little girl with Prussian blue eyes and unruly brown hair.
She smiled evilly and said, “It's obvious you are either illiterate or stupid. Either way I get to play.”
The robber had a sinking feeling that he was in trouble and that feeling only increased when the girl pulled out what looked like a bomb.
“This just isn't my day.”
* * *
The screams and explosions could be heard for miles around, but people ignored them. The noise came from the Yuy house. Those kinds of noises were heard often and the neighbors were used to it now. (Robbers should really get the hint, shouldn't they?)
Juno went to sleep very happy that night; she had been afraid that she was going to be bored. It turned out she didn't have to worry, entertainment found her. Robbers should really learn.
* * *
Heero and Duo got back around 1:00 a.m. They had had a great time and Heero even admitted it. It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. As they came in to the house they noticed some new scorch marks on the floor.
“Looks like someone tried to rob the house,” Duo commented.
“Yep,” Heero replied.
“I guess Juno found him and had some fun. I almost feel sorry for him . . . almost,” Duo said with a crooked grin.
“Hn,” was Heero's reply. “You want to go upstairs and have some fun?” he asked.
Duo smiled mischievously and replied, “Sure.”
* * *
Juno woke up at 4:30 a.m. because of a nightmare. You know, the one with the one armed man with a claw in the closet screaming, “I will suck out your soul and make you a cyborg.” (Don't tell me you're not afraid of that.)
Juno ran to Heero's bedroom and asked, “Daddy can I sleep with you?” giving him her best tearful chibi look she learned from Duo.
“Sure kid, climb in.”
Juno got in the bed and elbowed Duo aside. “Move over Maxwell.” She snuggled between her dads and went to sleep.
And they lived explosively ever after… (Oh come on, you didn't expect me to say happily. This is Duo, Heero, and Juno we're talking about. Something is bound to blow up.)
To be continued in Juno Goes to Kindergarten. ( Pity the poor teachers)
