About the story:

Heero Yuy was a former Ace Pilot from The Last War who currently working as the Head Commander of The Preventer Organization, and he lived in a house together with his 4 friends that also former pilots. Heero was a very good soldier, and no one doubted his skill in piloting a Mobile Suit or his knowledge regarding computer and machine. The only problem was that he was too perfect of a soldier and too focused on his job that he didn’t have any personal life outside his job, and he also didn’t have any slightest idea how normal people who weren’t soldier spent their time. In other word, Socially Retarded.

He thought his friends were unhappy, so he asked his female co-worker what to do, and she suggested finding them girlfriends. They were still teenagers, after all. Then Heero began his quest to find his friends girlfriends, without any idea whatsoever about the matter. Chaos ensued, and poor Heero never knew that one of his friends had an affair with Heero’s female boss, two of them were gay and in love with each other, and the last one was a bisexual whose sole purpose in life seemed to make Heero’s life as difficult and miserable as possible.


Comment:

I think this story really, really hilarious as I found myself giggling helplessly when I read this. Not to mention that Heero also treated his ‘quest’ as a real mission with the plan, target, report, surveillance equipments, and all that military stuffs. Really, every time Heero almost found out the truth about his friends, there must be something happened that distracted him and unable him to find out, either it was because his boss call him, the rain suddenly poured and made the surveillance equips not working, the terrorist suddenly attacked them, their house got bombed, or something along those lines.

The funny thing is, from Heero’s point of view, it seemed like fate hated him and tried to make his mission a total failure. But instead of feeling down, he took it as a challenge and gave it all he had. Oh Heero… not everything is about facts or logics, you know… Maybe if you opened that goggled eyes of yours a little more, you would see what was in front of you…

This is actually one of a few stories that I read that ends in a happy ending, with everyone found themselves a pair… and there isn’t anyone who is dead or under pressure or complicated plot and not even any angst in the slightest! ………………… Okay, I admit, there is a little angst, but it was only a tiny bitsy little piece and you have to squint in order to see it. And the atmosphere is also very cheerful with all that happy-go-lucky people around Heero. And I agree with Heero that all of his friends are insane and he is the sanest person in the world. ^_^
