Just a little bit of silliness I thought up the other day. It's short, and it's staying that way. Hope you enjoy!

It was a cool, crisp autumn day. The trees were brilliant shades of red, gold, and brown,
and the occasional gust of wind would send a shower of leaves raining to the ground. It was
truly one of nature's better days.
A large party of fourteen trooped over rough and uneven ground, their destination a small
building set on the edge of a clearing. Their clothing was appropriate for an afternoon of
outdoor fun, and one might simply think they were a happy group, if attention wasn't paid to
the conversations occurring.
"You're going down, Barton."
"You say that every time, Duo, yet you always lose."
"Because you two double team me. And I think it's unfair that my wife is plotting against
me."
"I make it up to you, don't I?"
"Stop! No more kinky sex references! We hear enough about your private lives as it is."
"I didn't think Peacecrafts did this sort of thing."
"I don't think SHE should be doing this sort of thing."
Relena turned to glare at her brother, eyes narrowing dangerously. "We all know your
opinion, and you know mine. Besides, the only person here who's license lists Peacecraft as
their last name is you. Mine says Yuy. Besides, I'm looking forward to this."
The rest of the group shuddered at the identical gleam in husband and wife's eyes.

"Alright, listen up people. I'll go over the rules for those of you who haven't done this
before. The object is to kill the other team before they kill you. Wear your headgear at
all times. Any hit is deemed a 'kill' which means if you're hit, you're out - and no wiping
the paint off," the paint ball operator warned, looking at each player in turn.
"What?! Jim, this is us!" Duo protested, waving a hand at his fellow pilots.
"When you boys play on your own, you can make your own rules. I want the ladies to have a
fair chance."
*phoot*
"Oops, sorry," Hilde said sweetly, smiling at Jim. "Didn't realize my finger was on the
trigger."
Jim eyed Hilde for a moment, then turned to address the group again. "Right. Split into
teams of seven. Who are the team captains?"
Heero and Relena both stepped forward. Heero looked at his wife, then shrugged. "If you
want to be captain of our team, fine. I just thought - "
"Oh, no, we aren't going to be on the same team, Heero. I thought you knew that," Relena
smiled at her husband."
"I'm not going to fight against you, Relena."
"Afraid I'll take you down?"
The challenge in Relena's voice had Heero snorting. "Fine."
"Then I'm on Relena's team," Milliardo immediately voiced, stepping up to stand next to his
sister.
"As am I," Trowa stated.
Heero turned to look at Duo, Quatre and Wufei. "Anyone else deserting me?"
Quatre smiled and slipped past Heero to stand with Relena.
The rest of the group quickly divided, Heero's team consisting of himself, Duo, Wufei, Noin,
Hilde, Lady Une and Marimaia. Relena had Trowa, Zechs, Quatre, Sally, Cathy and Iria.
"Heero, you're blue team, Relena, you're red. Everyone's guns are loaded? Then let the
game begin."
Everyone began to scatter, leaving Heero and Relena to stare at each other.
"A good game?" Relena asked, extending her hand, smiling at Heero.
"A good game," Heero confirmed, clasping her hand in his own.
*phoot*
Heero stared down at the growing splatter of orange paint directly over his heart.
"You shot me!"
His yell had everyone turning back to see what had occurred. The group began to laugh, more
for the look on Heero's face than anything else.
"You were the wild card, Heero. I had to take you out to even the odds. Nothing personal,"
Relena assured him, turning to walk towards her team.
"You had this planned."
Relena looked over her shoulder, smiling. "Of course. And you've been around enough
politicians to know to never trust them when they smile."
