Uhm...anyone? ^.^;;;, "The Disaster Ahead"

[Stuntcat]

Another round robin I guess...enjoy ^.^;;


Relena huddled on the cold stone wall, hunching around her prize. She looked down at the ice below, and sighed at the pretty sky. She was so happy. It was such a pretty day, even if it was freezing, and she had finally achieved what she had wanted for quite sometime now. It had taken her weeks of planning, and a very well practiced act to get her it. Now she would finally know....what was on Heero's laptop.

She had successfully distracted him, grabbed his laptop case, and run. Well, not run, but she had a taxi waiting.

Now she was here, a small bridge in the middle of nowhere, with three fake trails, and plenty of time. Relena grinned as she rubbed her freezing fingers together and brushed snow of the computer case. The bridge wasn't the most comfortable place to be, but it was better then sitting in the snow. Besides, she had given Pagan direct orders to pick her up right here in about a hour.

And now to unwrap her prize....

She quickly slid the computer out, settling herself more comfortably on the wall.

Heero was always typing away on this thing. Maybe it was something boring like reports on his missions, but maybe it was something different. Like love letters, or a romance story, or something that she could blackmail him with.

She firmly reminded herself she shouldn't count her chickens before they hatched, and went back to the task at hand.

Now, if only she could find the on switch. She turned the computer over, searching for the button which would tell her more (hopefully) about her enigmatic bodyguard.

And then the laptop slipped out of her hands. It flipped over the wall and she could only stare in dismay.

It crashed onto the thick ice below, and the ice cracked but held.

"Oh shit. Now what?" Relena whispered to herself as she stared at the laptop balancing precariously on the ice.


(Any takers?)

[sailorDH]

Duo strolled along by himself, whistling a little tune and admiring fresh animal tracks in the snow. As he came to a bridge, he squinted and saw a woman peering dangerously down the wall. She was making little circles with her arms and looked awfully distressed.

A damsel in distress indeed.

"Hey lady! You wouldn't want your pretty lil head to crack on the ice below!" he yelled. Then he began to realize that the woman looked familiar. He almost tripped over a twig when he realized who it was.

Relena heard a familiar voice and turned her head towards the source. She began, "Duo! Ohmygawd,pleasehelpme!!Heero'slaptopisdownthere--ididn'tmeanitidroppeditcuzitsortaslipped!!"

Duo cocked his head to one side, "Heero's laptop?" This could get rather interesting. "How'd you get a hold of that?!" A mischevious grin crossed his face.
Relena smirked, "I distracted him and ran with it. The result of months of planning." She said, quite pleased with herself.
"I see. And if I help you retrieve the laptop, what will I get?"

They stared at each other for a few seconds until movement from below caught Relena's eye--the laptop began to topple again. She yelped and tugged at Duo's sleave furiously.
"Just get it first! We'll settle your reward afterwards!"

The braided ex-pilot peered down the wall casually, causing Relena to fume even more.
"Hurry up! It's going to fall!" A mental image of Heero pissed crossed her mind. She began to scream hysterically, begging Duo to do something.

"Okay, okay." From out of nowhere, he whipped out a long piece of rope. Skillfully, he created a loop and quickly measured the distance from himself to the laptop. He tossed the rope and it gently rested atop of the monitor. After several tries, he finally got it to hook to the laptop securely. The laptop slowly made its way up the wall while a sweating Relena watched, her eyes all googly.

[Stuntcat]

"Thank god!" Relena grabbed the laptop, and slid to a seat in the middle of the bridge. Duo sat down in front of her and watched as she regained her composure.

Relena clutched the laptop to her chest, her face still pale from the near-fatal (or it would have been IF it had happened and Heero had found out) experience she had just had.

"So...about that reward Relena..." She glared at Duo for a second before saying in a frigid voice:

"What do you want?" Duo smiled then started on his long list of demands.

"Well, first off I want to know what the heck you were doing with the laptop. Also, how you got it, what it has on it....let's see...what else....I also want..."

[sailorDH]

"Eee...er... well, let's see what's on it first." he finally said when he ran out of the demands.
Relena found the on button and gently cracked open the laptop.

Green bold letters in the middle of the screen glared at her: PASSWORD: ___________

Relena found herself looking pleadingly at Duo once again. He chuckled at her, thinking of all the things he could ask her for, and took over.
After a full minute of tinkering with the computer, Duo finally said, "It would be hard to crack anything of Heero's."
There was silence and she did nothing to break it.
Duo found himself in a very difficult situation all of a sudden.
"I'm sorry?" Duo tried. All he did was walk around in the forest, help a lady, and then...have to face her wrath?
She still didn't say anything, but she was getting redder and redder in the face.
"I tried?"
Her eyebrows began to twitch, and her mouth quivered. Duo backed away slightly, eyes wide and apprehensive. He was too scared to speak. Experience has taught him to not say anything in the presence of a very angry woman.

And she blew.

"You mean I did all that for NOTHING?! Are you telling me that I planned all that just to have a retarded password in my way?"
She took a deep breath and suddenly brought her foot down, crunching the leaves below her. Duo eeped and stepped back.

"I can't believe this...I can't believe this..." she muttered, walking around in circles.
Then, as suddenly as her outburst, she laughed. No...more like...cackled.

Duo was scared out of his wits.

[Stuntcat]

Relena glared at Duo and then hissed through clenched teeth.

"Try and figure it out. NOW." He gulped at her words and looked down at the laptop. Relena was scary when she acted like this!

He quickly flipped the laptop open and started typing rapidly.

He muttered to himself as he tried out everything he learned.

"I'm sorry princess, I just.." Then he had a sudden inspiration.

He quickly typed in a single word for the password.

'Access Granted' flashed in light green letters. He chuckled to himself.

"Who would have ever guessed (except for me) that Heero's password was..."

[sailorDH]

?was??, Duo chuckled. He imagined the endless the possibilities that came with knowing Heero?s embarrassing password (if people found out). But now?on to more important things?like finding out what exactly is on the laptop.

Relena?s yell of delight and triumph interrupted his thoughts. Before he knew it, she saw snatched it away skillfully (she?d been practicing prior to taking it from Heero) and plunked herself down at the base of a nearby tree, away from the bridge.

This was getting all too exciting for the queen of the world! She simply didn?t know where to start!

Duo crawled over tentatively and peered over her shoulder. He began to list off the stuff that was on Heero's desktop.
?My Computer?Recycle Bin?Documents?Microsoft Word, Excel??

"Boring." they thought in unison.

?Adobe?Paintshop?Pictures??

She wondered what kind of pictures he would have. But that file wasn?t nearly as interesting as what came after that?

[WhiteWindRRose]

"Pilot 01 Files..." Relena shivered in delight. "YES!"
Duo smirked.

Click. click.

Inside the folder they found one Microsoft Word document entited "Heero Yuy." Relena's grin widened.

Click, click.

It blinked once more, "Password:_________" Relena gave an exasperated sigh.

"I got this!" Duo's hands lept over her shoulder and onto the keyboard. Moving the small, white arrow to "Clue," he tapped the left mouse button.

"Fallen angel's cannot compare
In the sky, our dreams are shared."

"OH! Easy!" Duo typed eagerly. R-E-L-E-N-A.

"Password Invalid! Password Invalid!" The red letters bleeped.

"What? It worked last time..." Duo's brow furrowed. "What the hell..."

"AHH! For Christ's sake, Duo!" Relena shoved him out of the way. "The second line doesn't match at all!" Her insides churned slightly at the realization that her name was the first password, and her mind fluttered at both compliments.

W-I-N-G-Z-E-R-O. Enter.

The file opened, and she smiled once more. "Damn, am I good or what!"

"Mrmph..." duo murmured from behind. "I knew it was Wing Zero..."

"Hmmm? What'd yah say?"

"Nothi--"

"Whoa! Fourteen whores on one night?" Relena interupted.

This grabbed the Deathsythe Pilot's attention immediately. "What?" His face appeared instantly hovering inches away from the screen.

[sailorDH]

"Jusst kidding!" she immediately said.

Duo's surprised expression reverted back into his usual demeanor. "You almost got me with that. I--"

"Now...let's see what we've got here." she cut him off.

"I wonder why there were hints. Maybe he wanted the people who knew him to access his files." Duo comtemplated, still slightly puzzled by the oddness of it all.

"This is interesting..." Relena cocked her head to one side, a sadistic smirk on her face.

"Not only that...but why would a simple Word document need a password to access?" he said aloud to himself.

He snapped out of his monologue when he was suddenly yanked by his hair.

"Ow..Huh?"

Relena looked at him in the eyes and said, "I never knew Heero was so talented."

[WhiteWindRRose]

"Heh. Heh." The deathsythe pilot grinned. "The guy can surprise you huh?"

"Hmmm... My Gundam's superior... BLEH BLEH BLEH... Well! What do we have here?" Relena smirked. Finally! "Relena Peacecraft."

"You sure do like to flatter yourself..." Duo grunted.

"What did you say?" Relena sent him a whithering glance.

"Err, nuthin'!" he replied sheepishly.

"That's wut I thought," she smiled smugly and was about to continue but Duo snatched the laptop out of her hands.

"Relena Peacecraft is a horny bitch who, after scratching her crotch, glances at me, expecting something." Duo grinned mischievously, his laugh bellowing. But as he glanced over at the once Queen of the World he could barely feel the computer being clawed out of his grasp as a fierce left hook sent him flying.

Brusquely, she flipped the golden strands over her shoulder and set her flushed face on the screen once more. In the mili-seconds that went by before she could clarify the words, her mind knowingly convinced herself that it really didn't say that, yet there was still that scratching voice in the back of her mind saying, "He saw me scratching my crotch? I thought no one was looking! Oh shit!"

But of course it didn't say that. A dream-like, obviously pleased look formed on her face, and Duo rolled his eyes as he watched her sigh like all women do when reading a heart-felt, romance novel. Scrambling to his feet, Duo thought better of asking what it said. Women and their sap... He found himself rolling his eyes again, as her cheeks turned a light pink.

He didn't even need to ask anyway because she read it aloud. "I have never met anyone quite like her. The lights that focus on her slim form never seem to bounce off, but rather intensify her radiance ever further. And I dare not turn away--half afraid the lights will blind me, half actually wanting it, happy that her image would be the last thing I would ever see."
There was another sigh, and he fought the urge to double over in nausea.

"Isn't that mine?" came a rough, masculine voice from the direction of the bridge.

[suicide_baka]

Duo and Relena jumped up at the sound of Heero's voice and started whistling. Relena had the laptop behind her back and she shoved it to Duo who shoved it back and this kept going on until Heero was right in front of both or their faces. Poor Duo, Relena shoved it back to him when Heero arrived.

"What are you two doing?"

"Uh..what? Me? Wait..who?" They both said at once.

Heero came up to Duo's face and glared.

"What's behind your back?"

Duo's teeth started to chatter and he was sweating.

"Uh..nothing really. Nothing that you would be interested. Heh." Duo tried to smile but he was too damn scared.

'I knew I shouldn't have helped Relena.' He thought but an inner voice told him that he was a liar.

Heero's eyes narrowed and he looked over at Relena which made her shiver. The look that Heero was giving her made her feel like pissing in her pants right then and there.

"Uh..Heero..what are you doing here?" she asked trying to change the subject.

Heero took a step back and his face went back to normal..well...he wasn't glaring anymore.

"I just thought about coming out for a walk."

Duo and Relena both let out a sigh of relief.

"I saw how much fun you guys were having so I thought I might join you."

Duo and Relena stiffened and their eyes opened wide.

"Oh Heero, we weren't doing anything fun. In fact, we were just about to go back to work. Why don't you walk with us?" said Relena.

She glanced over at Duo who was sweating really badly. She was surprised that the laptop didn't just slip out of his grip.

"That's sounds like a good idea except that." Heero's eyes turned to ice. "My laptop was stolen."

'Oh shit. Now were in for it.' thought Duo.

"Thatha that's..too bad Heero. I wonder who could've taken it." said Duo stumbling.

"Oh I believe you know." Next thing you know it, Heero punched Duo in the stomach and laptop fell right out of his hands and on to the ground.

Duo got up and ran behind Relena.

"It was all Relena! She made me do it! I'm innocent I tell you! Innocent!"

"What?! Your the one who got through his passwords in the first place!"

They both looked over at Heero who was on the ground looking through his laptop. They looked over his shoulder to see that he was reading the page that talked about Relena. Heero shut it so fast that Duo jumped back but still held on to Relena's shoulder.

Heero quietly got up and clenched his fists. He started to shake.

Relena and Duo just watched as Heero lifted his head only to have his eyes blocked out by his messy hair.

"I think it would be smart for us to start running..now." whispered Duo in Relena's ear, but as much as they wanted to, their legs felt like jelly.

"I..I'm...go..going...to...kill...you..both.." Heero said through his teeth.

His head shot up and Duo and Relena were about to face hell.
