Goodbye LJ...

[windandwater]

This is just to make it official for those who don't know, but I'm leaving LJ completely. For the rest of this week at least. Tomorrow is the Bar Exam and it runs for three days, so don't expect to see me about at all until Thursday night. Or even until the weekend since I plan on spending Thursday after the Bar drunk and crying. No online time for me at all. *whines* It will be hard, but I know I can do it.

So, because I'm a total h0r like that, I am declaring this to be a spam post. Go ahead. Run wild! Give me fics, give me links, give me pics, just babble to your heart's content and rape my inbox so I have something to see when I finally DO come back to the wonderful world of LJ. I don't even care if you write me a drabble and post it one word at a time. XD;

Though, I've tried to make a spam post before and it failed a bit miserably, so I don't have very high expectations this time around. Feel free to prove me wrong though!

A Change of Pace
Rating: PG
Warnings: some stuff blowing up
Blood type: coffee
Disclaimer: Yea, although I walk through the valley of Gundam Wing, I remain untouched by lawsuits, for I own nothing and lay claim to nothing. So mote it be.

Duo staggered into the tiny bunk they shared and collapsed with a groan. "Heero, remind me again what we're doing here?" he asked his roommate plaintively.
Heero's eyes flicked up momentarily from behind the shield of his laptop. It looked neat and harmless, perfectly regulation, but Duo was fatalistically sure that somehow, despite the pristine professional cover, it was the same laptop he had been dragging around with him since the war started. "Fighting for the glory of Oz and the unification of the Earth Sphere, of course," he said calmly. Duo sweatdropped.
"Ah, Heero, cut the recruiting propaganda bullshit," he grumbled. "There's nobody in the room or the hallway. We're alone."
"Baka," Heero snorted, looking back down at the keyboard. "One of these times, your big mouth is going to blow our cover."
Duo glared. "Lighten up on the riot act, Heero! I'm in serious pain here!"
Heero only seemed amused by Duo's plaintive tone. "You're supposed to be a Gundam pilot," he pointed out sadistically. "And you can't manage a simple set of calisthenics?"
"These are not simple calisthenics. These are the Calisthenics of the Devil," Duo insisted as he gingerly pushed himself into a sitting position. "Now I know why we keep kicking the Oz mecha pilots' butts. They're all too sore from basic training to move."
"Hn." Heero didn't dignify this assessment with more than a grunt. "More likely, it's their lack of entrance screening," he added after a moment's thought. "Nobody bothered to do more than a cursory background check on us at the recruiting office."
Duo grinned despite his alleged pain. "And no cursory inspection is going to get past Heero Yuy's hacking job!" he said, chuckling, then winced as his abdominal muscles suggested that was a bad idea. "Ne, Heero, when can we get

out of here?"
"After we've completed our mission, of course," Heero replied dryly. "This location was the closest situated to our target."
"Yeah, the target," Duo grumbled. "When can we go and blow it up already? I'm sick of playing green-ass new recruit and the drill sergeant keeps trying to cut my hair --"
"As a matter of fact," Heero cut in over the beginning of his rant, "We should have a window of opportunity tonight. After curfew we will sneak out and retrieve our Gundams, and then proceed to destroy the target."
Duo stared for a moment, then a gleeful smile took over his face. "Well, it's about time!" he exclaimed. "Look out, Universe, Shinigami is coming back online tonight!"

"All right, Heero?" Duo cheered, his image flicking to life in Heero's cockpit. "Time for us to kick some ass!"
Heero felt a smile tugging at his mouth at his partner's cheerful tone, but kept his voice flat and brusque. "Keep your mind on the mission, baka!" he admonished.
Duo's image laughed. "Ah, Heero, they ain't got nothing here that can stop us!" On his monitors, Heero saw Deathscythe turn and fire a missile into the nearby outlying wing of a building. Duo was right. The tall, barbed wire fence and security guards might keep out ordinary invaders, but not a Gundam.
Duo cackled with glee as he romped through the complex, leaving destruction in his wake. Heero listened to his running monologue as he carried out his own mission, much more sedately. "Hah! Take that! And that! You thought you could fail me in English? Nobody gives the Shinigami a D and lives to regret it!"
Heero turned from blowing up the last building. "We're finished here," he said over the com. "Time to retreat to the Oz base and collect our stuff. The place should be empty as all the soldiers come to investigate the noise here."
"Oh, all right, Heero," Duo grumbled as he turned away. Side by side, the two mechs flew off into the night, back to the Oz base they were infiltrating.
Behind them, the ruins of the Damon Pendleton Academy for Boys smoldered.

I do not remember what wonderful fic I was perusing today when I saw the line. "...Time to infiltrate another school and blow up another Oz base. For a moment Heero was tempted to infiltrate an Oz base and blow up a school, just for a change of pace..."
