Scythe~ VODG~

-VODG provided me with the french. I hope Chibi and Wing don't mind me using them in this fic for a few short cameo appearances...^.^

ººººººººººº

Its two weeks before Triage's (and Nova's but the fic isnt about him) birthday and nobody has said anything or even asked him what he wants so of course he feels terible...

" This blows...nodbody seems to care anymore...but then again they never do. It's just Nova this and Nova that...uhg it sucks." the neon green haired boy hangs his head in despair, just as a tall; blonde; sky blue eyed; french girl walks into his room.

" Hey, I was looking for you...whats wrong Tri-chan?" she sits down next to him and puts her arm around him with a worried look on her face.

" Hey Staiceé...well 2 weeks from now is my birthday(Nova's to but who cares) and nobody has asked me what I wanted yet...hey its also two weeks before Shingo's brother or sister is born...I bet you THAT seems more important to everybody else than my birthday."(A.N-hint hint)

" Oh, I'm sorry well umm...What do you want?" she asked him as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. He hesitated a little because what he wanted was way too much money (not counting Heero and Quatre of course).He picked up a magazine looked at the cover longly and handed it to his girlfriend.She looks at the magazine cover of the Gundam 3000 and practically falls off of his bed.

" YOU WANT A MATRIX-ION CUSTOM II?!?!?!?!?!?!? THATS LIKE ALOT OF MONEY TRIAGE!!"she screamed, "AH MA DIEU!! De quelle manièrea lui FOUTRE volonté JE payer lors CECI?! Triage....quoi lui enfer?!?! FOUTRE FOUTRE FOUTR--" her mouth suddenly closes, a brilliant beyond brilliant idea then comes to mind..."Hmmmmmm,unless......"

" ...yeah I've wanted that gundam ever since last summer vacation...and dont speak french around me its scary..." he certainly didn't understand the look on his girlfriends face because she didn't seem to be listening to him, but instead she was lost in some happy thought.

" Well Tri-chan I better get going I have to meet up with Khrysteena soon...Au revoir!" she gives him a quick peck on the cheek and vanishes out of sight as quickly as she came in.

" Bye..." he loved it when his girlfriend kissed him on the cheek because she always smelled sweet. He sighed, smiled, put his hands behind his head, and fell back on his pillow thinking how happy he was to have someone who loved him as much as Staiceé did. His eyes felt heavy so he closed them to relax and he eventually fell asleep.

Somewhere at an annual Gundam show we find Torrance and Nova. They casually walk around and examine the Gundams left to right, top to bottom, and front to back. Nova suddenly stops and sees something that catches his eye.

" Like I said your brother is wa-Nova...Nova are you listening to me??" Torrance turns around only to see her 'boyfriend' drooling over a Cyclohexane Custom X with a price of over a milion dollars.

" Isn't it pretty...." Nova asks oblivious of his drooling.

" Nova its just a Gundam an expensive one at that...then again it looks beter than mine, anyways lets look at some more we've only seen like three. God Damnit Nova C'MON!!!" Torrance finally manages to yank Nova away from the gundam and they proceed on to the others.

At the Winner masnsion its atleast -75º below zeero just because Dorothy said she was too hot (dont forget she's pregnant). Both Quatre and Shingo have on like 2 parkas and 2 pairs of thick pants and they're still freezing.

"H-h-honey?..d-do you think y-you could l-l-lower the temperature in the h-h-house?...I-I-It's f-f-freezing!!!" Quatre's teeth were like little ice mice going one-hundred miles an hour.

" No I'm hot Qua-chan!...Shingo go get me some...cheesecake with jalepenos and tomatoes ontop...please?" she ordered. She was wearing a tanktop and spandex shorts and sweating bullets considering she was 9 months pregnant and due in like 2 weeks (A.N-something is awfully fishy about the birth date of the baby hmm...)

" I-I can't r-really m-m-move M-m-mom..." said Shingo.He wasn't lying for indeed he could barely move, he was almost rooted to the spot. There were icecicles on the tips of his eyelashes and his long platinum blonde hair.

" M-m-master S-S-Shingo?..." Taleb had some how managed to saunter into the room one way or the other. Shingo groaned inwardly and cranked his head towards his shivering servant.

" W-w-what is it Ta-Ta-Chan?" he asked.

" Theres some g-g-girl on the phone for y-y-you...h-h-here." he held out the phone to Shingo. He yanked the phone from Taleb and spoke into the reciever(its a miracle he can move *rolls her eyes* ).

" Hello?"

" Shee-Shee?"a farmiliar voice sounded. Shingo's face went pale with pure terror at the sound of the person's voice. It was an old family friend of his.

" Shingo?....are you there? Its me Chibi..." on the other side of the line the girl didnt look to thrilled to realize that her old friend wasnt answering her. Chibi's sister Wing was laughing her ass off at the fact that Shingo wouldn't answer her.

" HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !! Shee-Shee wont answer you... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!" Wing ducked as fast as her sister hurled a porcelain pig towards her face.

" Damnit, Wing, shut up!!" Chibi said.

" Hi Chi-Chi..." Shingo muttered. A small smile crept over his face realizing that she never did like that pet name.

" DON'T CALL ME CHI-CHI ANYMORE!!! IM NOT 3 YEARS OLD!!!"she roared. Chi-Chi was her childhood nickname whenever she and Shingo played together, and of course Shingo was always Shee-Shee. He obviously didn't approve of that name either.

" I always knew you didnt like that name...why did you call? I can barely talk anyways its freezing in here..."

" Why is it freezing at YOUR mansion?"

" ....long story."

" Where does it begin?"

" Last year, summer vacation. I dont want to remember it." Shingo shudders involuntarily at the thought of it.

" Oh,nevermind then...I called to ask you what you were getting Triage for his birthday in like 2 weeks.I already got something" she glanced at the already wraped portable DVD player she had just purchased.

" My cousin's friend might know, they're coming over in a few minutes. I'm too lazy to think for myself." he said looking at the clock on the wall.

" No shit...SHERLOCK...bye" Chibi smiled, it was yet another name Shingo didnt like being called. Shingo growled under his breath and hung up the phone.

" Who was that dear?" Dorothy asked fanning herself.

" Chi-Chi"

" From DBZ!?!?!?" asked Quatre, yes sadly enough he still acts stupid and watches that show.

" ...your dense" said Shingo and walked up to his room.

He turned the tempurature up and changed his clothes. Moments later a black Mclaren F1, with silver flames in the front, drove up the Winner mansion driveway. He looked out the window. Out stepped from the drivers seat Triage's girlfriend ,Staiceé, and his half asian half arabian cousin, Khrysteena. He sprinted down the stairs and rushed outside the door.

" Bonjour" Staiceé said.

" Hey" said Khrysteena,"Staiceé has an awesome idea for Triage's birthday present,but it involves Uncle Quatre and Mr.Yuy."

" Uh could you run that by me again?" Shingo asked obviously puzzled by the request.

" We-need-your-father-and-Mr.Yuy-to-help-us-to-build-a-gunadam-for-my-Tri-chan." Staiceé said in one breath.

" You're straight up damn kidding me right?"

" No, and not just any Gundam" Khrysteena said with a sly smirk on her face.

" I dont like where this is going guys....what Gundam do you need help building?" Shingo sighed.

Both girls choursed together," Matrix-Ion Custom II !"

"....HOLY SHIT MAN HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU GONNA BUILD THAT DAMN THING???? YOU NEED NEOGUNDANIUM TO BUILD A STATE OF THE ART GUNDAM!!"

" But you see Shingo we already found some NeoGundanium hidden in the mountains. But, we need YOU to help us dig it out."

" Exactly how big is this chunk of Neo Gundanium?" Shingo asked, his arms crossed in front of his chest in doubt.

" It's exactly enough to build at least two state of the art gundams and five mobile dolls." Staiceé piped sitting on the hood of her car.

" I'm speachless...lets get in the car and drive over there. Where is it anyway?"

" Umm behind Ling's house...eh heheh" Khrysteena said biting her lip. She knew how Mr. Chang would react if he knew there was a giant chunk of Neo Gundanium directly behind his house -but she didn't care- and to add to the fact, he didnt even know it was there in the first place.

" WHAT???...nu-uh I ain't digging a giant chunk of Neo Gundanium thats behind Mr. Chang's house. There's just no way in hell am I doing something stupid like that! That's almost like saying for me to go out with Duet or something."

" But, but, but...Its for my boyfriend...Tri-chan...and one of YOUR best friends." she drawled on the word YOUR while her bottom lip was trembling and water swelling up in her eyes.

" Oh Jesus Staiceé not that damn puppy-dog-eye look again!! Cut the crap child and get in the car. Shingo, drive us...NOW!" They both do as Khrysteena says and proceed to the Chang residence. All the while Shingo is sulking on how stupid this is and keeps getting smacked up-side the head by his cousin.

" As soon as Mr. Chang finds out that theres NEO GUNDANIUM behind his house hes gonna want it for himself...you know that right?"

" Yeah and your point is? We have a plan..." Khrysteena said.

" OUI-OUI! ^.^" Staiceé said.

" ....whats the plan?" asked Shingo. Both girls leaned closer to him and whispered their plan in his ear. Shingo got interested by the minute and liked the plan more and more, and soon they arrived at the house.

" Awesome!...look we're here!"

" I'll knonck on the door!" Staiceé piped. She hopped out of the car and promptly, without hesitation, knocked on the Chang residnece door. To her surprise Ling opened the door.

" OH MY GOD!!! IT'S THE BLONDE DEMON FROM HELL!!!" Ling screamed and slamed the door hard.

" Um...that went well..." Staiceé blinked, didn't hesitate a moment, and knocked on the door again, but this time Sally opened the door.

" Oh, hello Staiceé! Come in! Don't mind Ling hes being a dumb-ass today..." Mrs. Chang said.

" Onna, what the hell are you doing brining another onna into MY house??" Wu Fei asked. He looked up from his paper and saw who it was. " Uh...I have to go polish Nataku." with that he vanished from the living room.

"o...k" Staiceé said, obviously puzzled. She had forgotten the last visit with Mr.Chang where she and Khrysteena had punched him in the face. She walked around and shut all of the blinds.

" Um...why did you do that?" Sally asked.

" I like dark spaces ^.^" Staiceé simply replied while peeking out the window.

Now outside the behind the Chang residence we find Shingo and Khrysteena dressed up in army camo and warrior face paint.

" dun dun dun dun DUN dun dun dun DUN dun dun dun dun..."Shingo had liked the plan so much that he decide to hum the Mission impossible theme song to himself.

"...Oh shut up!" Khrysteena snapped."get up off of the floor and throw away that toy gun, you look ridiculous."

"...dun dun DUN...hey, I like this toy gun and I DONT look ridiculous!" Shingo sat up and pointed the toy gun at his cousin. His platinum blonde hair carefully falling across his slightly sweating face gave Shingo a cute little boy look, especially with his luminous blue-green eyes. Atleast thats what his cousin thought.

" Get up," Khrysteena repeated," and hand me a pick-ax." Shingo handed her the pick-ax while he was still sitting down. His cousin shot him an evil glare and he quickly sprang up.

" Um, Khrys?"

" Yes Shingo-saa?"

" We need like TNT or dynamtime to blast away at least half of the mountain to get the Neo Gundanium out, not a pick-ax."

" But we dont have any TNT or dynamite."

" I brought some ^.^" Shingo smiled. He dashed to the car and pulled out two large tanks of TNT and sevral small ones.

" O.O are you sure that the Changs wont see, feel, or even HEAR it blow up?"

" Nope they have a sound proof house. Mr. Chang doesn't like noise." said Shingo shaking his head.

" wow...well ok set it up then." Shingo quickly set up all of the TNT around the spot where a tiny piece of Neo Gundanium was sticking out of the mountain. The blast went off within a matter of minutes.

" What WAS that?" Ling asked coming out of his room.

" Oh! nothing! I didn't feel anything!" Staiceé said.

" Oh sure. I bet you're a part of this!" Ling snapped for no apparent reason.

" Ling calm down your acting unreasonable! Be nice to Staiceé shes our guest!" Sally said to her eldest blue-eyed son.

" MOM!! NO IM NOT!! I FELT THE WHOLE HOUSE SHAKE!!! IM NOT BEING UNRESONABLE!!" Ling roared. With tha he stomped back to his room and slammed the door. Staiceé peered out the window once more and started laughing hystercially while Mrs. Chang just sat there looking bemused.

"Ow...that hurt...my ass hurts." Shingo groaned and attempted to get up but soon fell over again flat on his face.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!...oww, that was some big blast by that dynamite...can you get up by yourself? Or does widdle Shingo need help getting up off of da floor?"

" Ha...Ha...Ha I can get up fine thank you. I don't need your help." He tried getting up again and succeded but started to wobble and was quickly caught," Thanks Khrys."

" No problem...damn your heavy." and she quickly dropped him on the floor.

" x.X, Im gonna call my dad to help us get this chunk of Neo-Gundanium out of the mountain."

" Call Uncle. Not Haruka."

" Why not? Hes my friend."

" Yeah and hes incredibly perverted."

" So am I."

" I know that but you dont think of me as hott...do you?"

" MY GOD NO!! YOUR MY COUSIN!! IM NOT THAT PERVERTED!!"Shingo shuddered at the thought.

" Nevermind. Just call Uncle." Shingo whips out his cell phone and calls his father.

" Hello, this is master Shingo. Can I speak to my da-...oh just hurry up TaTa!!"

" Shingo why did you turn up the air conditioner??? your mothers furious!!"

" Ugh, dad we just found a really BIG chunk of Neo Gundanium. Its enough for two sate of the art gundams and five mobile dolls."

" OH MY GOD!!! WHERE ARE YOU? Are you with Khrys and Staiceé??"

" Yes,dad, I am. You dont want to know where we are 'cause you'll flip."

" No I won't. What makes you think that?"

" Dad, you flip at the name 'Chi-Chi'."

" Oh...well, where are you?"

" Behind Mr. Chang's house."

" BEHIND WU FEI'S HOUSE???"

" I told you you'd flip! Yes but he doesn't know that its here, so dont tell him!! Me and Khrys already blasted away half of the mountain. Oh, and call Mr. Yuy he might be able to help us."

" HA! Heero? Now you're the one flipping."

" Dad, dont be a shithead and just call him!!" he hung up and turned towards his cousin.

" How long does Staiceé have to undergoe torture in there?"

" I think shes talking with Mrs. Chang." she said. Shingo removed his army helmet and Khrysteena did the same. They sat down and waited for something to happen.

" Heero pick up the phone will you?"

" Im eating my cereal. And NOBODY interupts me while I'm eating my cereal!"

" If you DONT pick up the phone I'll destroy Wing Zero !!"

" HA! you don't even know how to set up a bomb." Heero snickered and picked up the reciever.

" Hello?"

" Heero?"

" Yeah...whos this? And why are you calling?"

" Its Quatre. Shingo, my neice, and her best friend just found Neo Gundanium. Only its behind Wu Fei's house and I don't know what they intend to use it for. What do you suspect they're going to use it for?" " Neo Gundanium?"

" Yeah..."

" Well Quatre, whats the one thing you would almost alwyas use Neo Gundanium for?"

" A gundam?..."

" DUH!"

" B-But what kind?"

" Well the only Gundams I suspect they might be wanting to use it for are either a Matrix-Ion Custom II or a Cyclohexane Custom X. Both are very advanced in technology and can battle in space, land, and sea."

" You think, Heero? Wow they can do that?"

" Yes. Those are the only ones I can think of at the moment. Unless they despise their own Gundams and want to rebuild them...How did they find Neo Gundanium when we didn't?"

" That will stay a mystery. Lets face it we're old men." Quatre chuckles.

" Right¬.¬ ...anyways, I'll think of something."

" Ok Heero, ja!"

" Whatever." Heero hangs up the phone and continues to eat his Cocoa Puffs cereal.

" Who was it Hee-chan?" Relena asked.

" Quatre,"

" Oh, well im gonna go read." Relena said and left the kitchen.

" Why's he calling?" Haruka asked as he was coming down the stairs.

" Who's calling?" Milliardo asked following his twin down the stairs to the kitchen. By now Heero would've screamed but instead he actually answered.

" Quatre called saying that his spawn, his neice and her best friend had just found some Neo Gundanium behind Wu Fei's house.But Wu Fei has no clue it exsists."

" NEO GUNDANIUM?!?" chorused the twins.

" ...yes Neo Gundanium"

" Hey, isn't Triage and Nova's birthday in two weeks?" Haruka asked.

" Yeah...come to think of it he wanted a Matrix-Ion Custom II. You dont think that...?" Milliardo trailed off.

" Yea I think they want to build that Gundam. Then they must be wanting me and Quatre to help them build it for him." Heero pointed out.

" Well can we help, dad?" Haruka asked.

" I dont see why not."

" It does past time, but does it take two weeks to build an advanced gundam such as that one?" asked Milliardo.

" With me, you two, Shingo, Quatre, Quatre's neice and her best friend...I'd say less than two weeks."

" Well Mrs. Chang I think I'd better get going." Staiceé got up, grabed her purse, and looked out the window to motion to Shingo and Khrysteena that it was time to leave.

"...who are you signaling to?" Sally asked her.

" OH! nobody just some dust in my face thats all ^_^"

" Ok I've been meaning to clean those windows" Mrs. Chang replied.

"...whatever..." Ling said under his breath.

" Like I said I must get going...oh, and Ling, dont ever get married." and with that she slammed the front door and darted to the backyard.

" Were they suspicious?" Shingo asked.

" Ling was but Mrs. Chang wasn't."

" Are we gonna let Ling in our secret?" Khrysteena asked her cousin.

" I dont think so...the only people I think know about this are me, you, Staiceé, my dad, Mr. Yuy, Haruka, and Milliardo."

" I thought you said you werent gonna tell Haruka!" Khryteena screamed.

" I didn't but Mr. Yuy probably told them that we found some Neo Gundanium, and where it is. He might've already figured out what we're gonna use it for because Haruka knows what Triage wants for his birthday."

" Oh ok whatever." said Khrysteena removing the army paint under her eyes.

" Um, Shingo?"

" Yes, Staiceé?"

" ...Do you have a camera?"

" A what?" Shingo and Khrysteena both asked together.

" Ya know...a video camera. Do you have one?"

" Why don't we wait till we get to my house."

" Yeah I reek...uhg! I need to take a shower." Khrysteena said. She glanced at the two people standing next to her and all of them burst out laughing. They got into the car and drove to the back to the Winner mansion.

" TRIAGE!!!!!" Ariel screamed, "WAKE UP FROM YOUR NAP AND GET OVER HERE THIS INSTANT, IT'S YOUR TURN TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH!!!!!" Triage had obviously dozed off after Staiceé had come to see him. He groaned, turned over onto his stomach, and looked over at the clock. It was 3:18. He had been sleeping since 11:30!!

" Shit..." Triage dashed out of his room and into the living room.

" Triage, honey, hurry up and takeout the trash please." his mother pleaded, she didnt bother looking up from her romance novel.

" And stop running or your gonna fall and bust your head open." Trowa said without lookign up from the TV.

" Dad, Im almost 16 im not five anymore!!" Triage screamed as he flung the trash bag over his shoulder. Suddenly the phone rang.

" I got it." Nova said and picked up the phone," Hello?...yeah hes here...hold on. Here Triage its for you."

" Hello?"

" Hey Triage. ya know that thing you, me, and Shingo had planned for today?"

" Yeah?"

" Well...we had to cancel it cuz me and Shingo had planned something else before that and we forg-" Hrauka was cut off by Triage.

" You forgot about your plans with you and Shingo so you decided 'Hey why not ditch Triage and do whatever it is we wanted to do.' Am I right 'Ruka?"

" ...um not exactly. Just forget it I gotta go me and Shingo gotta discuss our 'plans' for today. Cya!" with that curt sentence Haruka hung up the phone on one of his best friends. Triage hangs up the phone, slings the trash bag over his shoulder once again and walks out the door a little hurt.

Back at the Winner Manor Shingo, Khrysteena and Staiceé were thinking about what to do for Triage's present. Suddenly without warning Staiceé shouted in Shingo's ear.

" SHINGO!!!!!" Shingo fell off of the couch and on to the living room floor.

" ow..x.x What was that for?!"

" I NEED your camera! Don't ask me what I need it for just let me borrow it ok? please?" Staiceé looked down at Shingo on the floor with her famous puppy dog eye look.

" Oh...fine fine fine! You can borrow it!"

" YAY! ^^" She quickly huged Shingo and dashed up to his room.

" Uh, Khrys?"

" Yeah?" Khrysteena replied with almost half of a slice of pizza in her mouth.

" Why does Staiceé need my camera?" Shingo asked his cousin.

" Come to think of it, she never told me." Khrysteena shrugged her shoulders and continued eating the pizza.

" Ok,"

Back up in Shingo's room Staiceé was setting up the video camera in front of his bed. She placed herslef on his bed and pressed the record button.

" Um, hello Tri-chan ^.^ I just wanted to say Happy Birthday...I'm older than you by fifteen days hehehe!! Well I hope you like Matrix-Ion Custom II 'cause it took alot of time, work, and effort to build it for you so appreciate it ok? Yeah I helped build this Gundam if your wondering. What, did you think that your pretty-tall-blonde-french girl couldn't build a Gundam? C'mon you know me better than that.^_~ Do you think this Gundam is gonna be better than Nova's? I certainly think so because I didn't help build his Gundam I help built yours so ofcourse yours is better than your brothers.Oh, and last but not least...I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!! *blows a kiss to the camera's lens and smiles* AU REVOIR!!" With that she shuts off Shingo's camera, takes the tape out and goes back down stairs to the living room.

" What did you need my camera for?" Shingo asked Staiceé who was now helping herself to two large pieces of pizza.

Staiceé blushed the color of scarlet and said," Oh, nothing. Just something personal I wanted to add to the gundam after it was finished ^.^ . If thats ok with you?"

" Oh OF COURSE Shingo wouldn't mind. Would you Shingo?" Khrysteena shot a deadly glare towards her cousin who was -at the moment- cowering on the sofa.

" N-nope of course not, I don't mind at all" Shingo replied.

" Good Shingo," Khrysteena said and patted him on the head like he was some kind of dog.

" Well guys we better get going,"

" Go where?" both girls asked at once.

" We're meeting my dad Mr. Yuy and Haruka and Milliardo at Howard's place. He built Vulprix-Linear and Skylight." Shingo said.

" Oh, I know where he is, I can take you guys there" Khrysteena offered. They left the Winner mansion and drove off to go see Howard.

When they arrived the Neo Gundanium chunk was already outside the hanger and they could see that it was very large indeed. Howard was already measuring it to see how much he needed to save and how much was needed for Matrix-Ion Custom II. He saw them and motioned for them to come nearer.

" This is one nice peice of Neo Gundanium you kids found, and its cleanly blasted out of that mountain to." Howard said to Shingo, Staiceé and Khrysteena.

" Well, lets get started." Quatre said, and he picked up the blueprints that Howard had printed out and his eyes twinkled.

A week and a half has passed and they're done with Matirx-Ion. Now the rest of the week passes and its the twins birthday. Poor Triage has been turned down by his girlfriend on an important date -their 3 month aniversary. He has also beent turned down by his best friends but he doesn't know that they're building HIS present. So they're down by the pool waiting...

" Nova, Triage how many people are coming?" Ariel asked the twins.

" Um...everybody, right?" Nova replied. Obviously sometimes he could be really blonde in the head even though he was extremely brainy.

" What a coincedence because Shingo, Haruka, Millirdo, Staiceé, and Khrysteena said they weren't coming after we had already set everything that has to do with this d-" Triage was cut off abruptly by his sister clearing her throat and pointing to the pool gate.

" Hey guys whats up? Lets get this party started!" It was all the people he had just named along with some of their parents, who soon went back to the barbecue area.

- Talk about sticking my overgrown foot in my small ass mouth- Triage thought to himself staring at his friend and girlfriend as if he'd never seen them before. He finally found his voice and said.

" I thought you guys would never. . . come" his voice trailed off becuase they were all hudled in a little group whispering something as they kept looking back at Triage and smiling. Triage was about to say something to his sister when she saw that they motioned for her to come over there. She then came back and sat down next to him beaming.

" What are they talking about?" Triage asked his sister, obviously hurt.

" Oh, nothing in particular.........something about, oh hell I forgot anyways ^_^" Ariel didnt sound very convincing because Triage wasn't satisfied with her answer. He got up and went into the house. While he was inside his cousin Duet arrived and invited herself into the kitchen where he was.

" Hey, why arent you out there? Whats wrong?" Duet asked. She was obviously supposed to distract him while they put the finishing touches on Matrix-Ion. She looked past his shoulder but he notcied what she was doing and looked back just as soon as they dissapeared.

" What were you looking at?" Triage asked her suspiciously.

" Hmm, oh I thought I saw a pelican." She said dismissevly. Triage, being blonde in the head that he is, shrugged and didnt pay anymore attention to the subject.

In the Gundam hanger they were getting Matrix-Ion ready to be presented to the birthday boy. They polished it, they painted some peices that needed more paint, and they oiled any parts that needed some more oil.

" Um, Staiceé do you need help putting that tape in the Gundam? Cause I'll be glad to." Shingo was dying to know what was on that tape. Staiceé blushed, smiled, climbed into the gundam cockpit, and inserted the tape. She punched in a few letters and the tape popped up on the screen. It played the way she wanted it too. She ejected the tape, put a tiny bow on the tape, placed it on the seat, and hopped out of the cockpit.

" So whats on that tape??" Shingo asked her.

" HA! I ain't telling you." and with that they walked out of the hanger and back to the pool, by that time Triage and Duet had already come out of the kitchen. She winked at them and smiled.

" Hey, Triage can you follow us please...but wait you have to wear this." Haruka said and held up a blindfold. Triage was fuming at his friends but none the less he put it on and was led -to him- on an unfarmiliar path.

" What the hell is this for guys? You better not be playing some shitty ass game on me now." He wasnt very pleased. He knew something was up because there was some silent sniggering from the girls.

" We're here." Duet said. Staiceé walked up infront of Triage and took off his blind fold. It was pitch black and there was nobody there. Milliardo and Ling pulled the door open and slowly the light shown on the Gundam. Triage was speachless. He walked around the Gundam with his mouth practically touching the floor.

" SURPRISE!!" his friends shouted.

" WOW!!" Triage exclaimed after he finally found his voice. He kept circiling the Gundam closely inspecting every single inch.

" Did you gu-" He was cut off by the rignging of a cell phone, it was Shingo's.

" Crap...hello?....WHAT? NOW?? Can we all go down there?? Really...uh uh uh ok sure we'll be right over." Shingo hung up the phone and he had one of the biggest smiles on his face.

" Who was that?" Triage asked.

" It was my dad!! My mom is in the hospital and I have a baby sister! He said we can go over right now!"

" WOW!" Triage said again, " Another birthday present, somebody is worthy enough to be born on my birthday!!" he exclaimed as they were running out of the hanger. They all hopped into the Yuy's limo and drove off. When they got to the hospital the parents were already there in the waiting room.

" DAD DAD DAD!! Where's mom?" shingo panted.

" She's in the room." he pointed to the one across the way.

" Can we go see her?" they all asked.

" Only two at a time." Relena said calmly. Shingo and Ariel went in first. The baby was rapped in a light pink blanket drinking milk with her eyes tightly closed. She heard someone come in and she opened her tiny bright blue eyes and looked at Ariel and Shingo.

" Awwww, Shes so cute!!" Ariel said finally. She smiled at the baby and held its ahnd softly.

" Whats her name, mom?" Shingo asked.

" Rayvin Elizabeth Winner." Dorothy said.

" The product of last summer vacation." Shingo said out loud, a little too loud. His mother glared and went back to the baby.

" Can I hold her Mrs. Winner?" Ariel asked sweetly. She held out her hands as Dorothy slipped Raven into her arms.

" She is too cute, Mrs Winner." Ariel exclaimed. Shingo just laid back and smiled at his little sister and his girlfriend Ariel. He loved them both, but thats a different story. I mean C'mon this is Triage's birthday we're talking about here!

" Can I hold her now mom?" he asked quietly.

" Sure, just dont drop her." Dorothy said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Ariel handed Rayvin to Shingo and stood back. She looked at him lovingly and wondered how good he would be as a father. She liked the idea but was sketchy about going through with it. He seemed , to her, to be holding his sister like she was his own daughter. Just then Ariel's thoughts were shattered by a highly spirited short brown haired girl and her sister rushing into the room. It was Chibi and Wing. They were late to the party and somebody had obviously called them about what just happened.

"OH MY GOSH!! SHES ADORABLE!!!" Wing screamed casuing the baby to scream and Shingo to thrust her into Dorothy's arms before she dropped her onto the floor.

" Wing, you dumbass, you scared the baby!!" Chibi hissed in her sisters face venomously.

" Well SORRY!" Wing scremed yet again.

" Oh, Shingo can you go and give this to Triage please?" Chibi asked. She handed the tiny present to Shingo and he walked quietly out the door.

" Girls please keep it down, or else Rayvin cant sleep!" Dorothy said in a strained whisper.

" Rayvin?" Chibi and Wing asked together.

" Yes Rayvin. Well only two visitors allowed ^_^ so I'll leave you two with the baby." Ariel said and left the room. She went outside to the waiting room.

" Hey, is the baby cute?" Duet asked.

" Yeah its adorable!!" Ariel replied.

" Where's Nova?" Ling asked.

" He's at Torrnace's place." Triage said.

" Oh..." Ling said," how about after we all see the baby, we head back to the Barton's house and continue the party." The kids seemed to be thinking about the idea, well it did seem logical enough.

" Sure," they all replied. The group slowly left the waiting room and went back to the Barton's.

" What time is it?" Haruka asked yawning.

" Um...10:15," Triage said then added," Nova's spending the night at Torrance's house." he glanced at Staiceé -who wasn't returning his glance at the moment- and then got up and left the room.

" Well, we better get going because Haruka just fell asleep on the couch." Milliardo pointed out.

" Hey. Where'd Triage go?" Ariel asked suddenly. Triage left the room and went down to the Gundam hanger where all the family Gundams were kept like Heavyarms Custom, Heavyarms Custom II, Silver Light, and now a new addition to the Barton Gundams: Matrix-Ion Custom II. He walked slowly towards it, still marvelling at the accomplished handywork done by his friends and some of their parents.

He stopped in front of it looked at the cockpit cord and went up. When he got into the cockpit he saw a tiny wrapped object on the seat. It had a small blue bow ontop. The bow had his name on it in silver letters. He sat down and inserted the tape and typed in his name. The screen flickered and he saw Shingo's room and was quite puzzled, then Staiceé appeared an the screen infront of the cam corder and said this-

" Um, hello Tri-chan ^.^ I just wanted to say Happy Birthday...I'm older than you by fifteen days hehehe!! Well I hope you like Matrix-Ion Custom II 'cause it took alot of time, work, and effort to build it for you so appreciate it ok? Yeah I helped build this Gundam if your wondering. What, did you think that your pretty-tall-blonde-french girl couldn't build a Gundam? C'mon you know me better than that.^_~ Do you think this Gundam is gonna be better than Nova's? I certainly think so because I didn't help build his Gundam I help built yours so ofcourse yours is better than your brothers.Oh, and last but not least...I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!! *blows a kiss to the camera's lens and smiles* AU REVOIR!!" The screen goes blank and Trigae is left with the faint image of his girlfriend smiling and waving at him. He sat there for a moment thinking about how lucky he was to have Staiceé until his thoughts were shattered by someone screaming his name.

" TRIAGE!! YOU'VE BEEN UP THERE FOR AN HOUR ALREADY! COME DOWN!!" it was his sister. He hopped down and smiled.

" Are...you ok?" Ariel asked. He didnt answer he just simply smiled and walked towards the house and Ariel followed.

" Hey, Staiceé is gonna sleep over and so is Shingo and Khrysteena. Staiceé's in the shower and Shingo and Khrysteena are already sleeping." Triage turned towards his sister and said-

" Really?...Sweet." and kept on walking. He got to his room, changed into his pj's, and sat on the bed for a while then clicked on the TV. He flipped chanels but nothing seemed to appease him so he turned it off and looked towards the doorway. After showering, Staiceé stood in the doorway of Triage's room combing her hair and talking to the birthday boy, Triage.
" That was a great party. I hope you had fun," Stacieé said as she twirled a wet strand of hair around her slender fingers. She walked towards him and stood beside him.
" Oh I did! Especially since you were there..." Triage said and blushed.
" Aww, Tri-chan, you're such a sweetheart!" Staiceé went up to her boyfriend and huged him tightly. Triage smiled and sniffed Stacee's hair.
" Mmmmm...Hey! You smell good!"
" Why thank you, I love this stuff." she smiled and put her comb down on his dresser. Triage's hand grazed her cheek lightly and he thought about kissing her but was kinda shy and resisted temptation.

" Well I guess I'll see you in the morning then huh?"

Staiceé smiled up at him and noded in approval, " Have sweet and wonderful dreams Tri-chan...Au revior."

She slowly steps away from his side and walks back to the guest room leaving his door open.
" Dreamin’ of you!" he calls back but she was already gone.
Staiceé lay on top of her bed staring at the ceiling not knowing that Triage was doing the same thing in his room. Some time passes; the balcony doors open, and a warm breeze swept through Staicee’s room making the curtains dance gently in the moonlight.

" I can't sleep..." Staiceé sighs getting up, and standing on the balcony overlooking the calm ocean, and seeing Triage standing a few feet away.
" I cant either." Staiceé motioned for him to stand beside her on the balcony. Without a second thought he accepted and Staiceé laughs lightly. She rests her head on his shoulder and he took her slender hand in his, playing with her fingers.
" This has been the best birthday ever..." He whispers in her ear. She looks up at him and runs her hand through his silky neon-green hair and down his face, cupping his chin. She pulled him close and kissed him deeper and longer than ever before, whispering angelically-

" Happy Birthday Triage...”
