Hilde is walking through the park so she can make a short cut to the house where she is staying. She sighs as she comes through to the other end of the deserted green park. She comes up to the door and sees that there is a letter tucked in with her name scrawled on it. She snatches it up and walks in the door. She sets her new uniform down and turns the TV. on.
“The rebel factor known as Blue Wing is thought to be plotting against our finally regained peace.” The anchor says in her reporters’ tone. “It is said that they will be attacking at the nations grand opening of the new Guardian Deity Suits.”
* * * * *
“Guardian Deity Suits??” Duo says in a stunned and unbelieving voice. “I thought they said that there would be no more suits!”
Quatre shakes his head in disbelief. “Big mistake. Big mistake.”
Trowa sets his Coke down so that he won’t drop it. “More suits? What for?”
As if to answer his question, the anchor then says, “These Guardian Deity Suits will be our protection. They will also help keep our crime rate levels down. As soon as we get some more information in on these wonderful machines, we will let you know.”
Duo, in anger, throws the remote at the TV.
“GGGRRRRR!!! WHAT DO THEY THINK THEY ARE DOING!?!?!”
There is a knock at the door and Catherine goes to answer it. She opens the door slowly and sees Kinnison standing there.
“May I help you sir?” she says a little uneasily.
“Uh. Yeah. Does a “Hilde” live here??” He asks and waits for her reply.
“Oh. No. She lives-“
Duo stands and stares at Kinnison. “Why are you lookin’ for Hilde?”
Kinnison says nothing for a minute and then turns and walks away from the house.
Duo just stands there and watches him walk away.

Hilde turns off the television and stares at the blank screen for a second or two. She then walks over to the phone and picks it up. She dials Duo’s number and listens to it ring…and ring… There is a click heard on the other side and she hears Duo’s voice.
“Yo. You have called me. But, I ain’t here to take your call right now because I am out having a ball and you are stuck at home. SUCKER!!! Anyway, if you leave a message, when I get back from having so much fun, I might call ya.”
There is a second’s worth of a beep and then silence.
“Hi Duo. It’s me Hilde. Call me when you get home ok? Thanks. Bye.” Hilde hangs up the phone and walks to her refrigerator. On her way she passes by the note that she found tucked in her door. She opens the envelope and reads what is scrawled across the page.
