Keying in his own passwords, Heero quickly got on-line. Reading his e-mail, he discovered that Weapons R Us was having a sale. Going to their website, he quickly ordered a Personal Cloaking Device and a nifty Swiss Army Pocket Beam Saber, with a knife, spoon, fork, tweezers, screwdriver, ball-point pen, compass and a toothpick. For only $10 more, he could get the Deluxe Model with the optional mobile suit self-detonation switch, global satellite positioning device and a flashlight. He decided it would be worth the money, since Melody always said that it was wise to buy the best things that you can afford. And since he was using Melody's credit card, he knew she could afford it. It would have been different if he was having to use his allowance money.

While entering his account information, he heard a smooth and commanding voice comment, "I see that the mouse has taken the bait."

Heero turned to see Treize standing in the doorway, his still yellowy skin faintly glowing in the light from the computer. Beside him was Milliardo--there was no mistaking that, even in the semi-darkness! Heero had never quite gotten used to Milliardo's hair being green--and an iridescent green, at that!

"Heero, meet the mysterious Dr. T," said Milliardo.

"It was I who sent you the diskette you are using," said Treize, with a hint of triumph under the smoothness of his voice.

"Uhn, what diskette? I was just playing Duke Nukem. Really, I mean...uhn, uhn... Oh shoot!" Heero stammered. "What are you gonna do t' me now?"

"Me? Nothing," said Treize. "But I do believe I hear someone approaching that is most certainly upset."

Suddenly, the "Blue Screen of Death" appeared on Melody's computer. "What happened?!" yelped Heero.

"Nothing much," muttered Treize. "Just a minor retro-virus that will highlight all of your clandestine Internet purchases. See you at breakfast, maybe."

"Revenge, by any other name, is still as sweet," Heero heard Treize misquote Shakespeare to Milliardo as they headed back to their rooms. But Heero had no idea who Shakespeare was, so he didn't understand what they were quietly laughing about.

"Heero! Heero Yuy! Just WHAT do you think you're doing?" Melody entered the room and caught Heero red-handed with the now useless computer. "My computer! What have you done to my computer! Do you have any idea of what this is going to cost to repair? You had better have a really good explanation for this! How many times..."
