WHAT?!? I don't own GW?!? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::Sniff Sniff:: I'll get over it, but don't yell at me, I recognize that I don't own it. But recognizing and liking are two different things!! WWWWHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
When Heero woke up, he could see the sand blowing by his window. Heero got out of his bed and silently walked out of the room. He was the first one up and the hallway was soundless other than the padding of his feet on the linoleum floor.
As he checked in on the other pilots� rooms, he found that Duo had woken up sometime during the night and slipped into his chamber. The boy was curled up in a fetal ball under the sheets, except his arm was out, as though he was reaching out for something. Duo had been doing that a lot in his sleep, and had Heero been anyone else, he would�ve started to worry. Heero then went down to the kitchen to eat breakfast.
After having a good Japanese meal, Heero looked at the clock. It was six o�clock, meaning he had woken up at five thirty like always. The Japanese boy went back up to his room and turned on his laptop. He checked to see if there were any missions for him or the others to do, there wasn�t. Heero looked out his window, the sand still blowing by. The sand storm was predicted to end in a few days, he just hoped they wouldn�t get any new missions till they were free from the storm.
The next two days went by with only a few difficulties from Wufei arguing with Duo and Quatre having to break them up, but otherwise were fine. It was on the last day of the storm that one of them got a mission.
The mission was for Duo, and even though he said he didn�t need to complete the missions the doctors gave him because he �stole� Deathscythe, he decided to perform the missions he was given most of the time anyway. This time was the same.
It was an espionage mission, a skill that Duo was the best of the five at because of his street-rat upbringing. He had to get some information at an OZ base in Australia, and it would take him a while to do.
The other pilots didn�t say more than a simple �good-bye� and the only sign of the American boy�s leaving was the echoing quiet after Gundam Deathscythe left. Soon after Duo received his mission, the rest of the pilots did as well and they all left this safe house till they needed it later.

It had been about a month since the five pilots left the safe house in the desert, but Heero had kept in contact with three of the four other pilots. He hadn�t been able to get a hold of Duo, which said a lot because of Heero�s hacking skills. He figured that Duo just didn�t want to be located because of his mission.
It was on exactly the thirty-first day since they left that Heero received his next mission. He was to meet Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei at a safe house on the northern edge of the Cinq kingdom early next morning. Again, no word on the pilot of Deathscythe. This was starting to bother Heero. He didn�t usually work with the other Gundam pilots, but he always could keep tabs on them by tracking them with his laptop. This was the first time he couldn�t find one of them.
/Oh well. He just wants to stay hidden, and I know that he hasn�t been captured because OZ would�ve announced it otherwise. He�ll let me find him when he wants to be found./ Heero thought as he packed his small amount of belongings into a suitcase.
Milliardo Peacecraft was supervising the transportation of a large shipment of Mobile Dolls along with Aires, and Leo Mobile SUITs. The four Gundam Pilots� mission was to destroy the Mobile Dolls and other SUITs as well as try to take out the base that the SUITs were being transported to.
The trip to the safe house outside of the Cinq kingdom went without any incidents. Heero�s forged ID card was almost flawless, and the one flaw in it didn�t make any difference. He greeted the other three pilots in his usual manner, he merle acknowledged their presence.
The four pilots prepared their Gundams and decided on the best form of attack for each of them. Heero and Trowa would destroy the Mobile Dolls, while Wufei and Quatre would fight the Leo and Aires Mobile SUITs. It was most likely that the pilots of the Leos and Aires SUITs would be traveling with their mechas, and the Mobile Dolls could just be told their target and then they would attack. If Milliardo decided to attack them, then Heero would spar with him till the others could finish the mission.
When the time came to leave for the appointed spot where they would attack the transporting SUITs, the Gundam pilots entered their Gundams and took off. The mission started off well. Their calculations about the pilots of the Mobile SUIT pilots was correct, and so was the prediction that Milliardo would want to fight Heero.
While Heero fought with Milliardo, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei held up well to their opponents. That was till the Mobile Dolls closed in on Trowa�s Gundam, and Wufei was having a little difficulty with the many SUITs he was battling.
Suddenly, all of the forces under Milliardo�s command stopped, leaving the Gundam pilots to wonder what had stopped their opponent�s battling. Their wondering was soon answered.
Coming over the horizon was a Leo and an Aires Mobile SUIT.
"This is General Treize Khushrenada. All pilots are to surrender immediately." The speaker from the Leo commanded.
"Khushrenada." Wufei muttered under his breath with disgust.
"You heard the General, Gundam pilots. Surrender at once." The voice from the Aires declared. It was Commander Une, but she was called Lady Une most of the time, who was Treize�s right-hand-woman.
"Let�s go, the General probably has a back up force right behind him." Quatre suggested. Heero reluctantly agreed with the Sandrock pilot, and the four Gundams took off.
"General," Milliardo began, "why did you just let them go like that?"
"What am I going to do? Stop them using force? Those SUITs are made out of Gundanium alloy. The four of them have been holding up against a hundred Mobile Dolls, you, and a hundred Leos and Aires SUITs for half an hour and were winning."
Milliardo grunted in response as he watched OZ�s back up forces come into view.

�Mission failure.� Heero typed into his mission report. After a run down of what happened, he sent it to his mission director, Dr. J. This was the first time that he had failed in a mission, and he wasn�t very happy about it. The only consolation for him was that he knew that he was going to receive a new mission soon.
He was back at the safe house along the border of the Cinq kingdom, the other three were with him. His laptop was set up in the living room area, where he was working on updating the mission reports. Quatre and Trowa were in the kitchen preparing lunch, and Wufei was practicing with his broadsword to the right of where Heero sat.
Heero didn�t know what went wrong with the mission, they had been doing well against Milliardo�s forces. The only reason that they retreated like they did was that General Khushrenada brought support forces with him.
When they returned to the base, they found Hilde Schpiker there and they had to pressure her into leaving the safe house -she was always trying to hang around them, particularly Duo. After that, the pilots repaired their SUITs and Quatre bandaged Trowa�s scorched left arm from where one of the laser blasts from a Mobile Doll hit him.
Then, a beeping sound woke Heero from his thinking. It was a new mission.
There was a political banquet in the Cinq palace later that day, which included a debriefing on OZ�s latest objectives to its officials. The five pilots were to infiltrate the security and Duo was to find out OZ�s goals. The problem was that Heero didn�t know were Duo was, and neither did the doctors. They said that his last known location was London, England and the boarding school he attended there was St. Joseph�s Academy for young men.
"What�s that?" Trowa asked, referring to the beeping noise, as he came out of the kitchen.
"New mission. There�s an OZ banquet at ten tonight and Duo needs to find out their intentions."
"But we don�t know where Duo�s at." Quatre said as he too came into the living area.
"I know his last whereabouts and I can track where he�s at now." Heero told him.
"Why Duo? We haven�t heard from him in a month." Wufei said, slightly out of breath, his displeasure at having to work with the boisterous American boy again showing plainly in his voice.
"We need Duo because he�s the best of us at espionage. I�ll find him in time, so just get yourselves ready." Heero said to the others as he turned back to his computer.
Heero hacked into St. Joseph�s main frame and looked up information on a Duo Maxwell. There was no information, which startled him. Duo always said �I run, I hide, but I never lie.� Therefore what Heero saw in front of him didn�t make any sense. Then again� from what Heero had checked up on his comrade�s past, Duo didn�t know his real name, he just came up with the name �Duo Maxwell�. That meant saying that his name was something else other than �Duo Maxwell� wasn�t exactly lying.
Heero did a description search for a student that matched Duo�s likeness and came up with a Matthew Enom. The picture that accompanied the student profile was one of Duo, so Heero looked for any clues that would tell him where the American was now.
Again, Heero found nothing. There was nothing to tell him where the boy went. All of the tuition payments were made in London, his parents� address was said to be in Sydney, Australia- where his last mission was, and the transfer file didn�t say where he was transferring to, only that he left England.
The one thing that didn�t make sense was that the record said that he transferred from a school in Berlin, Germany, which was an hour drive away from their current location. The doctors didn�t know that Duo was in Germany, they only said that he was in Australia and then went to England.
Heero checked on the school in Berlin and did a search on first a Duo Maxwell, and then a Matthew Enom. He found nothing on Duo, but the record that he found on Matthew Enom said that he was still there. Heero had found him.
After finding out Duo�s home address in Berlin and printing it out, Heero headed towards the garage and started one of the cars for its hour drive.
Author�s Notes: This one was a little better in length. What's with the 'Act I Scene I' at the top you ask? Each part of the fic corresponds to a scene in the play. I'll tell you what scene it is so you can follow along, if you want to of course! Okay, so an OZ banquet isn't nuetral like the dance was in the play. But I couldn't pick a nuetral place, because there is none! So what I did was I went back to the story WSS was based on- Romeo and Juliet! This is easyer and makes more sense, because they (OZ and the Gundams) were all ready fighting.
So, like always, c&c is wanted like a tired person wants sleep! **PLEASE** tell me what you think. E-mail me!!
