"This is definitely Klignon technology, sir. I believe these marks here are phasor burns. It's got to be Treize Kushrenada's vessel."

"Don't jump to conclusions ensign Winner." The captian cautioned him.

"Sorry sir."

"Captain I've picked up a signal."

"Let me hear it officer Peacecraft."

"Yes sir."

It was Dorothy's voice that was heard on the bridge when Relena played the message. "Enterprise, I know that I have no right to call upon you now, but I must ask for your help. I ask not for myself, but for mine and Heero Yuy's son Helmut. The Tallgeese can't survive. We were attacked while undergoing repairs and had no way to defend ourselves. Our only hope was to land on the moon of the fifth planet in this solar system. I will try to protect my son, but resources on this planet are limited. Please captain Marquis, have mercy on Helmut. He is an innocent child. I am prepared to die, but my son's deserves a kinder fate."

The message ended there. Zechs sat down in the captian's chair, his chin on his hand. He held a thoughtful expression. "Relena have Heero meet me in the conference room."

"Yes sir."

"I want you there as well Relena."

"Yes sir."

Relena sent out the message. Meanwhile Wufei began to gather information of the system they were now flying through.

"You have the helm Mr. Maxwell." Zechs said as he stood up and motioned for Relena to follow.

"Yes sir."

Zechs and Relena walked into the conference room and waited for Heero. It didn't take him long to get there. Relena replayed the message for him and watched his face carefully. It was a mask, betraying nothing. Zechs told Heero about directing the Enterprise here after hearing a distress signal and then coming to find the pieces of Tallgeese's hull.

"So the Tallgeese was destroyed and it's remaining crew are on that moon?"

"Yes that is what it seems like." Zechs nodded.

"How many?"

"We don't know. Some kind of atmospheric interference is making it impossible for us to scan for life."

"And we don't know who destroyed the Tallgeese?"

"No we don't." Zechs frowned. He knew they could all be in danger.

"The wisest course of action would be to leave this system." Heero said.

"Heero, what about Helmut? If he is alive then we must retrieve him." Relena looked at Heero. They had been together for nearly 5 years now and she still had trouble understanding him. he could be so cold sometimes.

"This ship contains over 400 people. It would be irresponsible to risk them all for a single child. Especially one that may already be dead. Furthermore he is an enemy. Having grown up on Tallgeese, he must have animosity towards this vessel."

"But Heero he IS a child. YOUR child. You have a responsibility to take care of him if his mother is dead or incapable of doing so." Relena was hoping to have children with Heero some day and she didn't feel too comfortable with his hands off attitude right now.

"I have no responsibilities where that child is concerned. Dorothy and I agreed on that a long time ago. I have never met him. Furthermore this could all be a trap. Dorothy isn't someone that we can trust."

"I agree we should proceed with caution. But if there are people in distress down there, even if they are our enemies, we can't ignore them. We must help." Zechs said looking at both Relena and Heero. He knew that their discussion would continue once he left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Dddaaaddeee I drew dis for you."

"Oh well it is very pretty Deanna. I am going to put it right here next to this lovely flower you drew me yesterday." Duo said as he took the piece of paper from his daughter and looked it over. It was a rainbow, maybe. The colors weren't quite right, but he could see blue behind it and green underneath it. Deanna began to hum happily as her father looked over her work. She knew that her mother was an alien from somewhere in the Delta quadrant, but she couldn't wait until they made it to earth. She had seen pictures and decided that it was very pretty there and she wanted to live on a big farm with her father and her sisters. All of them. Aunt Ilya and Uncle Trowa could live there as well. They would be one big happy family.

Hilde sat in the corner and glared at her sister. She had the same name as her mother and had tried to find out everything she could about her, but there wasn't much to find out. She loved her dad, but he was entirely too easy going. At the rate they were going they weren't going to get to earth for another fifty years. She'd be an old lady by then. And what was the captain and everybody else on the crew, including her father, doing about it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It made her so angry sometimes. She and Mariemaia were busy looking for wormholes and other shortcuts while all the grownups played in the holodeck or sat around chatting in the mess hall. It was disgraceful.

"Daddy I wanna go play with Mariemaia."

"I'm sorry Hilde, but she is on duty right now. You shouldn't bother her when she is working. Why don't you help Daria make dinner?" Duo said. He watched his eldest daughter stomp over to the food replicator. Lately Hilde seemed very distant and angry all the time. Duo had tried to talk with her, but that just seemed to make things worse, so he was keeping his distance for now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Trowa I think I found something."

Trowa walked over to Heero and looked down at his tricorder. Sure enough it was showing life signs, finally. They had been searching the planet's moon for almost two days now.

"Be on guard." Trowa nodded his agreement.

They climbed over the hill and tried to stay near the large rocks. They had to be cautious. They didn't know what kind of indigenous life the planet held.

When Heero and Trowa transversed the next hill they saw at least fifty people in the field below them. There were some makeshift tents and a few people walked with purpose but most of them just sat there looking as though they didn't care whether they lived or died. Heero recognized one of them. Dorothy Catalonia stood out from the crowd with her long pale hair and greyish-green skin. She absently stroked a head that was lying on her lap. The boy's face was hidden from Heero, but his hair was dark and his skin was almost smooth compared to his mother's scaly hide. Heero felt nervous. He didn't know what to say to this boy, whom he had come for.

As though sensing his presence Dorothy looked up. Her eyes flashed and soon everyone in the valley below was staring up at the two former borg.

"Heero."

Heero whipped his head around and looked at Treize Kushrenada. The bulky Klignon had somehow managed to make his way around the boulder and silently come up behind Trowa and Heero. He didn't look threatening though. He seemed to emit a sense of calm.

"Treize."

"I was and in some ways still am Treize, but I am so much more now. I knew you would come. Zechs Marquis is too honorable of a man to leave anyone to waste away on a lonely planet. Even his former enemies." Treize smiled good naturedly.

"Former?"

"Yes that's right. I was Treize Kushrenda, but I am both Treize and Daiken now. I, we bear you no ill will. You see in order for the crew of the Tallgeese to survive my people had to inhabit thier bodies. It was the only way to sustain their lifeforces. Once we entered these bodies, we soon realized that we could not leave. So we are now one, Treize and I."

"Your name is Daiken?" Trieze nodded. "And you are living inside Treize?" Heero asked.

"Not exactly. I am not on the inside looking out. I do not control Treize and he does not control me. Our essences have merged. Our thoughts, our actions, they are one. As former members of a collective I think you and Trowa would be most likely to understand this."

"I think I understand. Still it doesn't seem like something Treize would do willingly." Trowa said.

"Well as I said, the crew of the Tallgeese would have died otherwise."

Trowa nodded. "I have to call my ship."

"Of course, meanwhile why don't you come down to our camp Heero. I know someone who is quite anxious to meet you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So they claim that they are no longer our enemies?" Zechs looked skeptical.

"Yes sir. He, that is Treize/Daiken said that the crew of the Tallgeese was still alive but that each crewmember's consciousness was now merged with the consciousness of a native inhabitants' and that together these new entities were beyond such emotions as revenge and hate. They bear no ill will towards us and desire to come aboard solely for the sake of thier host bodies continued survival. They want to be transplanted to a planet that can sustain human life. The native inhabitants were non-organic beings that lived off of the sun's energy. Now that they have merged with the Tallgeese's crew they must eat to survive and the moon they are on doesn't provide the necessary sustenance to sustain them." Trowa explained.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dorothy stood up and lifted her son off her lap. The boy and his mother exchanged no words that Heero could hear, but something passed between the two of them and the boy turned to his father. He was striking. He had his mother's pale hair and slight scalation that made his skin seem rough like armor. It wasn't a faint green like his mother's though. And his eyes were Heero's. Deep cobalt blue that stood out against his skin, drawing people in. They were a magnet that reflected the harshness of the terrain. The child looked formidable. Even though he was young, he had an essence of danger to him. Heero was immediately fond of the boy, which surprised him somewhat. He had never really thought about the child past the time Dorothy disappeared from his life. He assumed if they ever met then it would be as enemies. He wasn't entirely sure that they could be called allies.

"Heero." Dorothy greeted him politely.

"Dorothy."

"Actually I prefer to go by Cat now. Anubissa who is now inside of me found the memories that I held of my pet cat to be most pleasing and we agreed to go by that name since I am no longer only Dorothy and she is no longer only Anubissa."

"I see." Heero replied. He was curious about the relationship between the Tallgeese's crew and the native inhabitants of the moon, but right now he couldn't focus on that. He was staring at his son. Who was staring at him as well.

"This is our son Tito. When he was first born, Dorothy gave him the name of Titus. To survive on this world Kito inhabited his body so he is called Tito for short." Dorothy smiled down at the boy showing motherly pride.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Tito." Heero extended his hand in greeting but the boy didn't take it.

"I am pleased to meet you Heero. Even before coming to this world and merging with Kito, I have always had the desire to know you. Mother says you are quite resourceful and that you saved the Enterprise's captain from almost certain death. We Kimiji do not understand the violence and fighting that took place between your crew and ourselves when we were in our lesser form, but we are certain that whatever conflict still brews, we can put an end to it. I bear you no ill intentions Heero."

Heero nodded. Tito was quite articulate. Especially for a child. Heero wondered just how much of the creature before him was Titus and how much was Kito. He truly wanted to know his son. Their meeting was cut short however by a signal from Heero's com badge.

Heero tapped on his badge. "Heero we need you to return to the ship."

"Alright Relena." He looked at Cat and Tito. "I'm sorry to leave so suddenly."

"That's fine Heero. Tell me, how is Relena?" Cat asked recognizing the voice she heard.

"She's fine." He looked at her suspiciously. The way she asked reminded him of the old Dorothy: falsely sincere and always calculating.

"That's good. I would like to see her again if possible. I want to try to make amends."

Heero said nothing to her. He tapped his badge and was beamed up to the Enterprise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The Kimiji?" Zechs pronounced the word carefully.

"That's what he said, although I didn't get an opportunity to ask him any real questions." Heero looked at the head of the conference table where the captain sat. Relena was seated beside Zechs and Heero had a hard time avoiding her eyes, which sought his. She knew that he had met his son and talked with Dorothy. She was likely curious, possibly jealous.

"And your son Tito referred to the Tallgeese's crew as a lesser species?"

"Actually he referred to the crew as 'ourselves when we were in our lesser form'." Heero clarified.

"Interesting. Trowa has said that he believes the Kimiji's intentions are sincere. What about you Heero? Do you feel that they pose a danger to this crew?"

"I honestly don't know. All I can say is that it seems the moon's native inhabitants are in greater control of their host bodies than they indicate. They say it is a balance, but I definitely feel that the Tallgeese's crew is being somewhat supressed."

"That's what we want right? I mean it's Treize and the Klingons that we have to worry about, not the Kimiji."

"That's a dangerous assumption to make Quatre. We don't know anything about the Kimiji. They could be playing us for fools here." Duo crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back in resolution.

"I must agree with Officer Maxwell. We would be making a tactical error taking such an unknown element onboard." Wufei said.

"I agree. We will transport supplies to the surface and continue discussions with the Kimiji. We will attempt to ascertain their true intentions. Whatever may they be. I want everyone involved in this. It is important to opinions from everyone."

"Yes sir."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I want you to come with me."

"Why? I think you should spend some time alone with Tito." Heero smirked. He reached over and fondled Relena's hair for just a second.

"Dorothy asked about you."

Relena scowled. "Oh did she? Well wasn't that thoughtful."

"She's not the same. None of them are."

"So I've heard, but I find it hard to believe that such a conniving person like Dorothy is now so magnanimous."

"Well that is why you should come. So you can judge for yourself. You don't need to be afraid. I will protect you." Heero spoke with great resolve. Once he had opened up to his human emotions, he quickly fell in love with her. They had been sharing quarters ever since he and Trowa's final borg implants were removed.

"I am not afraid of Dorothy Catalonia. I simply have no desire to see her whatsoever. She and I will never be friends again." Relena grew cold with the memory of Dorothy's betrayal.

"The captain wants us all there. And I want you to meet Tito. He is my son. If he wants to know me, then he must know you as well. You are a part of me now." Heero said. Of course Relena was not part of the collective. He wished that they could share one mind, sometimes he still missed the hum within his head. Being an individual was more difficult. He had to make all his own decisions and not blindly follow orders. That was just a passing fancy though. When he thought about his life then and now, a chill ran down his spine. He didn't want to ever be a part of that again. He felt great sympathy for the Tallgeese's crew at their predicament. It was one of the reason's why he wanted Relena to come with him. In this matter he questioned his own judgement.

"Well I suppose that motherhood could've softened her up some. I mean look at what it did for Duo." Relena said smilingly. She was still nervous about meeting with Dorothy, but she always knew fate would pull them back together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sorry I can't join the party Quatre."

"I understand Duo. I wonder where Hilde could be." Quatre looked around the room as though the girl would mysteriously appear. Daria and Deanna were sitting quietly on the couch looking very nervous. They knew Hilde was gonna get yelled out when she came back. She was always getting in trouble.

"Oh I know where she is. She's with Mariemaia again. I worry about her. Mariemaia may look like a child, but she is a highly advanced andriod. I wish Hilde would hang around with real children her own age." Duo sighed dejectedly. Hilde acted more mature than her sisters and Duo feared that she was going to miss out on her childhood worrying about things beyond her control.

"Mariemaia is programmed to protect every crew member beyond any other functions. You know she's safe. And well let's face it, the only other children her age are her sisters. She probably just needs a break. She's getting to the age where she is trying to find herself. She wants to be an individual and that's difficult when everyone sees her as part of a trio or a quintet." Quatre had sensed Hilde's frustrations in the past. All the girls were like nieces to him and he was also worried about her, but trusted Mariemaia.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So how are we ever going to get home when we are acting as a taxi cab for the Tallgeese's crew. I mean they tried to kill daddy and the rest of the crew and now we're supposed to go out of our way to help them? It's stupid." Hilde ranted.

"I assume the captain will restrict his search for suitable planets to those within our already determined flight path since the last habitable planet we crossed was three months ago in the Balian territory. In which case the total time spent boarding and unboarding passengers will be under one-hundreths of a percent of our total journey time. A truly negligible result. This is assuming that the captain agrees to take the Kimiji on board." Mariemaia placed another block on the pile and waited for Hilde to take her turn.

Hilde frowned both at the block tower and her friend's words. She was tired of waiting. She didn't want new people on board and now her best friend wasn't agreeing with her. "But they're bad people."

"They were, it is possible that this is no longer the case."

"People don't change." Daddy said that all the time.

"Their minds have merged with a new species whose intentions are unknown to us, but they claim that this new species has tempered the Tallgeese's crew. Moving them away from violence and towards more peaceful pursuits. It is possible. Everybody changes. Trowa was once borg."

Hilde thought about this. It was true, she'd heard that Trowa used to be an enemy and now he was her sisters' Delilah and Deidre's daddy. He was good too. Not as fun as her daddy, but he was always kind and listened whenever any of the girls were sad and needed a hug. Hilde took her block and placed it on the pile. Sighing when the tower didn't fall.

"I just want to go home."

"But you've never been to earth. How can you think of it as home?"

"Because daddy really wants to go. He seems so sad when he talks about it. It's like he is never going to see it again and I want to stay with daddy forever. I bet that when we get there he'll let you stay with us if you want."

"I doubt that. I am the property of the Federation, but I would like to stay friends with you Hilde once this voyage is over."

Mariemaia placed her block on the tower. It didn't teeter at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Heero may I speak with you alone for a minute?" Cat asked. Relena looked at her suspiciously but nodded her permission to Heero.

"What is it Cat?" He asked, watching Relena and Tito out of the corner of his eye. They were getting along together quite well.

"I know that you think that the balance between the Tallgeese's crew and the Kimiji is not equal. I could tell by the questions you were asking Tito. I want to assure you that it is. The reason you suspect otherwise is because the Kimiji don't age like humans. We are not born so much as we either exist or we do not. Since we have no children, when Titus and Kito merged it was a bit overwhelming for the boy."

Heero didn't say anything to this. He didn't know how he felt about this information. It was not reassuring if that was Cat's objective.

"You and the rest of the Enterprise's crew must let go of the opionions you held of the Tallgeese's crew. In a way they no longer exist and the Kimiji no longer exist. It is an entirely new group of people that you are dealing with now. With traits of both and neither."

"Why are you telling me this?" Heero asked.

"The part of me that was once Dorothy is fearful that you're going to leave us here because of the actions she committed in the past. She and I have agreed to stay on this world, if it is something you can't forgive." Cat didn't seem afraid of being left behind.

"Won't you die if you stay here?"

"Yes, but I am only one and I do not fear non-existence." Heero looked at her and nodded. He wondered if Treize/Daiken was going to make a similar offer to Zechs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yes Treize did make me such an offer. I couldn't in good conscience take him up on it though. I feel that the Tallgeese's crew really has changed. I still want to make special preparations and restrict their access while they are on board but from what I have heard from the rest of the away team it seems that we can trust them, up to a point." Zechs said.

Everyone in the room nodded their agreement. Wufei was not happy, but he began making the necessary preparations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You seem to be in good health. A little undernourished, but otherwise fine. You didn't recieve any injuries when the Tallgeese was destroyed?" Sally asked.

"Oh I did recieve some injuries but when the Kimiji joined us, our bodies were healed." Cat explained. She noticed that Sally was carefully avoiding eye contact with her patient.

"Really that's fascinating. I have picked up some traces of energy within you, but if I didn't know that I was looking for them, I would never know that there is another being living inside you Dorothy."

"Sally please call me Cat."

"Yes I'm sorry, I forgot."

"The Kimiji are not living inside of us. They have merged with us. That is why you find so few traces of them. They inhabit our thoughts but are not really a physical presense."

Sally didn't say anything. There was nothing similar in her databanks, so she really didn't know what to report to the captian. The person in front of her certainly didn't act like her old assistant. She seemed to have an inner peace that was never there before.

Dorothy or Cat had volunteered to be examined. Her medical files were on record from her previous time on the Enterprise and so she was the best candidate, but Sally was uncomfortable being around Dorothy. She felt personally betrayed by her and so far none of the Tallgeese crew had tried to make amends for past actions. They all claimed that they were no longer the same people, thus how could they apologize for things that they didn't do, but the Enterprise crew was not appeased by this. Many of the crewmates were wary and the Kimiji were being held in one of the hangers under guard. Sally made a note to talk with Catherine about lightening the mood on this ship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I don't know if this is such a good idea Heero. He doesn't act like a child."

"I know but he has never met any other children before. There were none amoungst the Tallgeese's crew. You and I will stay with them the entire time. He was so excited when he found out about the girls. I am sure they would like to meet someone their own age as well."

Duo looked at Heero skeptically. He hadn't met any of their passengers yet, but he had heard about Tito. He didn't want to do it, but Deanna had asked if he would be going to school with them now and he knew the other girls were curious. Plus Heero never asked anyone for anything. He was surprised that Heero hadn't gotten Relena to ask him. He certainly had a better relationship with her. 'He must really want this,' thought Duo. "Alright Heero. Bring him by after dinner tonight."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I like to paint and Hilde's good at building things. I painted this picture. It's a bird flying in the earth's sky and those white things are clouds. On earth they have clouds that carry water and when they turn grey, it rains. We are going to go to earth. Are you going to earth too?"

Deanna held up her drawing in front of Tito's face. She was doing most of the talking. Daria was always the shy one. She just sat looking at Tito curiously while Hilde sat on the couch and glared. She was not happy about their guest, but Duo had told her that if she wasn't polite, she'd be doing dishes for the next week.

"No we aren't going to earth. We will live on the first habitable planet that this ship passes by." Kito said as he looked at the drawing. Titus liked to build things like Hilde. He wanted to see some of the things that she had built, but could tell that she had some animosity towards him, though he didn't know why.

"But Heero's going to earth. Don't you have to go with him since he's your daddy?" Deanna asked. Duo looked at Heero, silently apologizing for his daughter's inappropriate questions.

"No I'm going to stay with my mother. Although I really don't need parental supervision."

"Oh you're so lucky. We don't have a mother, but that's okay. Delilah and Deidre's mother treats us like her own kids when we stay over with them."

"Who are they?"

"They're are sisters."

"Why aren't they with you?" Kito asked. He knew that in Klignon society it would be odd for siblings to be seperated at such an early age.

"Because daddy says we three are enough of a handful. Do you want to play Jenga?" Deanna asked as she opened the box and began pulling out the plastic casing.

"What is it?"

"You build a tower with these blocks. Everyone takes a turn. Whoever knocks the tower over loses. Hilde never loses except wthen she plays with Mariemaia. Usually I do, but it's okay, I don't mind." Deanna carefully placed the tower on the floor then took a block from the bottom and placed it on top.

"I don't wanna play." Hilde said even though it was her favorite game.

"Hilde don't be rude. You don't have anything better to do anyway." Duo scolded her.

"Fine." Hilde roughly pulled a block from the bottom of the tower and knocked it over. "I guess I lose."

"You did that on purpose. Daddy!" Deanna began to cry and Duo came over and picked her up.

"Hilde that was very mean. Apologize to your sister and our guest." Duo scolded her.

"No!" Hilde crossed her arms and shock her head.

"It's okay Deanna don't cry." Kito looked at the fallen blocks and closed his eyes. The blocks began to float in the air and the tower resurected itself. "Look I fixed it."

Heero and Duo just stood there with their mouths hanging open. Deanna squealed in delight and began to hum happily.

"How did you do that?" Hilde asked.

"Matter is something that we Kimiji have always been able to manipulate to service our needs, until we merged with the Tallgeese's crew. Now we can only manipulate matter outside our own bodies when we are in contact with it."

Hilde didn't understand that at all, but she got an idea.

"Then why didn't you repair the Tallgeese so you could transport yourselves to another planet, instead of making us ferry you around?" She asked with narrowed eyes.

"Hilde!" Duo hissed.

"A lot of the Tallgeese was vaporized in the attack. We can't manipulate matter on an atomic or molecular level What's gone can't be restored."

"Can you send us home?" Daria asked, shocking everyone in the room. It was the first thing she had said all evening.

"Okay." Kito said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Captain, we've moved." Quatre stared dumbfounded at the screen. This didn't make any sense at all.

"What do you mean ensign?"

"I mean we're not where we were a minute ago." Quatre knew this didn't answer the captian's question, but it was the only answer he had.

"What makes you say that?" Zechs asked. He was confused, but trusted Quatre. He knew that something had happened.

"Well according to this astrometric data, all the massive bodies around us have changed their shapes and locations. Which means either we moved or the entire universe did. Either way we aren't where we were." Quatre looked at Zechs. His body language made it clear that this was not a joke.

"Miss Noin?" Zechs called down to engineering.

"Yes Captain?"

"Ensign Winner reports that we have moved to an unknown destination, has there been a change in acceleration?"

"Yes sir, we stopped."

Zechs got a confused look on his face. This made even less sense. He was interrupted before he could ask Noin what she meant.

"Actually sir our destination is not unknown."

"You know where we are Ensign Winner?"

"Yes sir, according to the computer, we are in orbit around the earth."

"What?!" The entire bridge took in a collective breath.

"On screen."

"Yes sir."

The crew on the bridge looked out in wonder at the sight in front of them. It was earth. At least it looked like earth. The moon peaked out from the other side of the blue planet they were gazing down at.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Relena placed the last photo on top of her clothes and zipped up her duffel bag. Tears sprung to her eyes and she had to wipe them away.

"What's wrong?" Heero asked. "Aren't you happy?"

"Of course, I'm happy, it's just I'll miss this place. I spent 6 years here. We met on the Enterprise. I'm gonna miss it." She said.

Heero looked around. He had been feeling a bit anxious today as well. He wondered if he too was going to miss the Enterprise. He didn't remember the earth, had never been here. His parents were colonists. He barely remembered them. The borg had taken him and Trowa at an early age. Still he was looking forward to living on the earth. Almost all of the holodeck programs that he and Relena visited were of Bajor, which was geogolocially similar to earth. The Kimiji were settling on earth and Heero wanted to get to know Tito some more before he and Relena went to Bajor to visit Relena's mother. She was a princess on Bajor. It was of a small province but nonetheless she had to return there to rule her people. Her trip with the Enterprise was supposed to be brief, a learning experience. His future was completely unknown, but he was ready to adapt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Not much of a vacation Zechs."

"I know but the Federation wants to launch the Enterprise as soon as possible. They have put in something called the Zero System that they want tested. I had the option of sitting this one out, but I just can't let anyone else captain the Enterprise. It's my baby. You don't have to come along though. I won't be gone that long." Zechs said. He knew her answer before she said it.

"You know that if you're going, I'm going. It wouldn't be much of a vacation without you." Noin bent over and placed a small kiss on Zech's nose. "Besides someone has to keep you out of trouble."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo looked up at the sky. He couldn't see anything, but he couldn't help it. He knew that the Enterprise was leaving today. Zechs and Noin were on board but just about everyone else was off ship, either settling on earth or waiting for transport to their homes. There were so many times he never thought this day would come.

Trowa and Ilya were less than three blocks away. The girls were over at their house right now so Duo was getting some errands done. There was so much that was needed, little things that no one thought of like tape and bowls and extra light bulbs. Duo grinned as he walked into the drug store and spotted a tall red head with pretty blue eyes.
