"Mom! Mom! Its here! It's here!"

A young boy with long braided chestnut hair tied bounded into the house.

"Its here! It's here! It's here!" he sang happily and did a little twirl.

"Hmm, darling. What's here? Honey slow down. You're going to run into a -"

CRASH!!!

Mrs Maxwell winced. "Chair.are you alright?"

"I'm fine mom! No scratches, just a sore bottom." Replied Duo.

"That's good." Said a relieved Mrs Maxwell. "Now tell me what caused my son to have more energy than he normally would on a sugar high?"

Quickly forgetting about his sore behind, Duo waved a white envelope triumphantly. "The letter from the Exchange Students Association. It's finally here!"

"Oh, that's all? You had me worried there for a minute. I thought it was another parking ticket due to your reckless driving." She teased

"Mom!"

Mrs Maxwell smiled. Inwardly she knew how much Duo had wanted to take part in the Student Exchange program, but as they were a single parent family the chances of the Association allowing her son to participate were very slim to none. She watched her son tear open the envelope, his smile growing wider with each passing second. Mrs Maxwell knew that the letter contained good news when her son's smile turned into a whoop of joy.

"Yes! An exchange student is coming to live with us and he's from Japan. That's where I'll be going when its my turn! Woo hoo!"

Apparently, the letter confirmation had really made his day.

Two weeks had passed since the arrival of the letter. Duo had really cleaned up his act by actually participating in some of the housework. He had enthusiastically vacuumed and dusted his and the guest room, making everything neat and tidy. One day after school Duo had even made a large banner, which said, "Welcome to America Heero" in kanji. He had been able to write the kanji by purchasing a English/Japanese dictionary using the money from his allowance. Duo was also going to use this dictionary to help himself communicate better with the exchange student. Anybody could tell that Duo was very excited about his arrival.

Mrs Maxwell was very impressed with the way her son was dealing with the situation; perhaps he had gone a little overboard by sticking up large signs indicating that this was the kitchen, living room, dining room.but she couldn't bring herself to tell her son to take them down. Duo had put so much effort into redecorating the house walls.

Now at the airport

"Hey mom, I wonder what he'll think of America. Do you think he will like it here?" said a boy with long braided hair was jumping up and down with excitement at the airport.

Mrs Maxwell looked down at her enthusiastic son and smiled. She remembered the day when he had opened the letter that presented him with the honor of billeting an exchange student from Japan.

"Now Duo, calm down a bit. You don't want to give the exchange student a bad impression of America do you?"

The two had referred to the foreigner as 'the exchange student' as they didn't know how to pronounce his name. The letter had said the boy's name was 'Heero Yuy'.

"Hero Yuy? Who would name their son Hero? Maybe it's a Japanese thing.

Do you think he will like the room that I cleaned out for him? I even gave him my favorite Deathscythe bedspread.

Mrs Maxwell smiled at his son. "Of course he will. Look the first of the passengers have alighted the plane. Hold up the sign so that he knows that we are here."

Duo obeyed and held up the sign. At the same time he kept an eye out for the Japanese boy. It didn't take long for Duo to spot him.

"Hi Hero. Name's Duo Maxwell. Welcome to America." Duo stuck out a hand for Heero to shake. He stared at the boy when he didn't take it and bowed instead.

"My name is Heero Yuy." Said the boy who was currently taken aback by Duo's length of hair and unique color of eyes. " Heero is not to be mistaken for the English word hero." Said the Japanese boy.

"Oh! Right Japanese custom." Duo said and bowed as well.

Heero suddenly stood bolt upright. "Gomen nasai. How rude of me. I am in America now. I should greet with American customs." That said he held out his hand for Duo to shake. Duo took it with a smile and immediately felt a bolt of electricity pass through him. Heero felt the same thing.

"Do I know you?" They both said at the same time but before they could answer Mrs Maxwell interrupted.

"C'mon boys. You can talk in the car and as much as you like when you get home. Heero, feel free to call this place home during your stay with us."

Heero nodded. "Thank you very much for your kindness."

"Oi! You're full of manners aren't ya?"

Not knowing if this was a good or bad thing Heero looked down and blushed.

"Aw c'mon man. Just kidding man. C'mon lets go."
