Misty Waterlilly

By White Rain

Heero stirred the chicken broth that was on the stove. They hadn't been able to get Noin or Une to take Relina, so he had to watch her too. Quatre was in his room and Relina was in the guestroom that left Heero with the couch.

When Quatre had heard of this he insisted that he would take the couch but Heero told him plainly that that wasn't going to happen. Heero wasn't sure if he would have won, but Quatre had fallen asleep in the middle of the argument.

Caroline Charm had recommended that Quatre not to eat too many solids. So Duo went out and stocked Heero on broth, Jell-O, pudding, and juices.

Just as Heero turned off the stove and put some broth in a bowl there was a knock on the door.

Heero set the bowl down and went to answer the door. It was Relina with three suitcases. As soon as she opened the door she set them on the ground and embraced Heero.

"I'm so glad Quatre is okay." She said in a choked voice, "I thought he was going to die when I heard that he was injected with N13."

Heero held onto her for a few minutes before gently pushing her aside. "He'll be okay. I'll help you put up your stuff in a moment."

Relina shook her head, "No, I can handle it, you just take care of Quatre."

Heero nodded.

"What do you mean?" Wufie barked, "We do not need a partner. Duo and I can do this by ourselves."

Duo, Lady Une and Wufie were all in Lady Une's office. She was sitting in the chair and Duo was sitting in a chair and Wufie was pacing.

"Wufie is right," Duo said, "he'll just hold us back."

"I have someone who helped in cases similar to this. She was able to catch the John Smith, who had been stalking Relina, single handedly." Une said.

"She?" Wufie said and stopped pacing.

"Hello!" said a cheerful voice. "I'm here, I hope I'm not to late."

Une smiled at the girl. She looked about twelve. She had red hair pulled in a braid and blue-green eyes. "Hello."

"Misty Waterlilly is my name. Nice to meet you two," she said to Duo and Wufie and turned to Une.

"Where did you get that name?" Une asked.

"I was watching a late night anime on Cartoon Network. It was called Pokémon and I liked the girl named Misty. I did some background and found out her last name."

"You having a little girl work with us?" Wufie spat.

Misty turned to face Wufie, "You may have been a Gundam Pilot, but a in a case like this you need an expert in the field."

"What is your real name?" Duo asked before Wufie could go on one of his trademark rants.

"Classified," Misty said, he eyes twinkling.

Duo turned to Une, who said, "I have no idea. I've been curious, but she won't tell any of us."

"Then how can we trust you?" Wufie asked.

Misty's eye's darkened, "You have no choice. I have proven myself several time, and I've been working her just as long as you. If you want to help your friend then you'll have to learn to work with me."

With that said she stormed off.

"That was over the line Chang," Une snapped, "if you want to work on this case you can't let your emotions get in the way. I'll gladly give you another case."

Wufie glared at the woman that he mildly respected, "fine."

"You're cute when you pout," Duo said cheerfully and stood up.

"Let's find the brat and get to work." Wufie muttered.

Duo winked at Lady Une and walked off behind Wufie.

A few feet from Lady Une's office Misty was leaning against the wall, waiting for them. "Are you going to apologize?" she asked Wufie.

"No," Wufie snapped.

"Don't mind him," Duo said, "Just in case you didn't know, I'm Duo Maxwell and he's Chang Wufie."

Misty smiled at Duo and turned to Wufie, "At least your boyfriend has some manner's."

Duo and Wufie looked shocked.

"Who told you?" Duo asked. They'd been keeping their realationship low key even the other former Gundam Pilots didn't know.

"No one told you, I could tell by they by your body language." Misty said.

Duo grinned, "Maybe you will be of more use then we originally thought."
