Tori: Here's an interesting e-mail I recently received from someone who shall remain anonymous.
Makoto: Bwehehehe….
Tori: *holds head in hands* Fine then… It's not like anyone knows who you are anyway…
Makoto: *pouts*
Kegawa: Ouch! Tori-one. Makoto-nothing!
Makoto: AHHH! SCARY MUSE!!! *points at Ke* Kill it, Umō!
Umō: *swoops at Ke, who hides under table.
Ke: START THE FIC! START THE FIC!
[A/N: Makoto is a friend of mine from UchuTosuta who writes his own FanFics in his spare time. His muse is a Gyrfalcon named Umō, or 'Feathers']
~*~*~*~
It was a 2pm like any other when Duet knocked on Heero's door to ask if she could borrow his laptop. It took a little 'persuading', but eventually she stepped smugly out of the room, flipping her now-unbraided hair over one shoulder, with the lap top tucked under her arm.
Duet hurried downstairs into the sunroom, and plopped down in one of the recliners, resting the computer on her knees. The monitor beeped to life and she double-clicked the tiny AnimeNation icon, typed [email protected] and her password, and waited for her mailbox to open.
"You've got mail!" a chibi-Duet of horrible graphic designs cried and waved two little fans. "One new message!" it cheered. Duet clicked the letter in bold and began to read.
Hey, hey, baby! It's me, Makoto! Didn't think you'd escape me just be changing school, now did ya?
Duet smiled. She always liked getting mail from people she'd met at different schools. Heero berated her for giving out any traceable information, but it wasn't the same address she used for missions, so she failed to see the harm in it. That is, until she read further…
Here's a fun little test I made! Watcha' do is fill this out with your answers, copy it, and send it to your friends! Don't forward it, just copy and paste. Oh, and send it back to me when you're done! It's supposed to be a learning experience!
Makoto. She'd met him a while back in a school in Okinawa, Japan. He'd inadvertently provided them with enough information to prevent the school from being blow up during fifth period one day, so she figured she owed him an e-mail at least.
He was always asking questions about this and that. 'Too curious,' Heero had said once after Makoto inquired about the electronics he'd come across while rooting through his book bag. But he was also very observant and intelligent. 'He probably knew we were the pilots…' Duet thought, but shrugged off the deeper thoughts so she could return to the inane message.
