Golden beams of artificial sunlight of colony L7-98764 streamed past her window, focusing on the sleeping girl. At the change of light, Neochi Yuy's eyes opened slowly, the navy blue depths looking past strands of brown silk to the white and blue bed sheets that had been twisted in her sleep. She lay on her side, milky white skin sinking into the warmth from the covers and the fresh morning sun. This colony was a bit different from the ones she had lived on before, more peaceful and relaxing. Prefect for soldiers who had just returned from the war.

She stood gracefully, sheets sliding off her skin and cotton night shirt as she stretched to wake up her muscles. She looked over to the magenta school uniform draped over her desk chair, promising the future of the day, and she pulled on the white shirt, magenta skirt and vest along with a pair of white socks and brand new blue shoes. Grabbing the bag waiting for her on the side of the desk, she grabbed a brush and head-band, trying to tame her copper-brown hair without much luck.

She exited her room to the hall of her apartment, being met with a pitiful meow from her black and white short-haired cat, Chucky [1]. She grinned, kneeling down to pet the tiny kitten and rub his stomach, earning a purr of gratitude. "Sorry babe, I got school now. I'll be home this afternoon." She smiled as he swapped at her shoes, his way of begging for her to pet him again. She shooed him back into the apartment as she reached the door, breakfast a forgotten dream.

And then, she stepped back into the world she thought she had left behind years ago.

After Colony 198, all wars had ceased to exist for the time being. The Colonies and Earth finally had peace, with some help from Vice Foreign Minister Relena Dorland. But there were some actions from the colonies that were beginning to make people on the Earth edgy and some even feared that another war would brake out.
A group called the Preventers, elected by the President of the Earth sphere unified Nation, had kept fights from getting to serious, but they had ignored the new colony, L7-98764. Another war was about to brake out, and with all mobile suits destroyed, with exception of the Wing Zero, the Earth would be defenseless against anything the new Colony would use to attack.

Heero Yuy took his seat in the forth row, the uncomfortable chairs that lined the desks of the classroom mimicking an auditorium with it's raised seats and small stage in front. He hated this particular history class, mainly because the almost constant topic was the most resent war between the earth and colonies, in which he had fought in himself. He removed his history text book from the black bag he had moved from his shoulder to the side of his desk, not surprised to hear Duo Maxwell's laughter from below. He opened his text book, flipping its pages to 456 without even glancing at the name 'Nara Khou' [2] written on the front.

The teacher, Mr. Sarisohn [3], walked in and Duo was laughing again at the teacher's lame attempt to spin off a joke. Though Duo wasn't the only one to laugh, Heero had never cared for Mr. Sarisohn's jokes- or any at that. 'Oh well...'He thought to himself, 'There's a battle I'll lose before even accepting it'.

"Man, Mr. S is such a great guy; don't ya think He-.....uh, George?" Duo asked pathetically as he grabbed his seat beside Heero, earning only an 'Hn' from the cobalt-eyed pilot. Leaning closer, Duo moved to whisper in Heero's ear, his breath stirring strands of chocolate [4] hair. "Come on Hee-chan, why the code name? It's all over now, no need."

Heero was silent before turning away from Duo. "I have my reasons." He responded dulling, causing Duo just to sigh and let it drop. But it wasn't long before the braided-baka [5] became interested in something else. Across the room sat the center of his attention, a beautiful new female student. Deep copper-brown hair fell to gently curved shoulders, held back by a navy head-band that matched her cold eyes. She wore the girl's magenta school uniform, which was a bit strange against the blue of the rest of her assemble but it showed off her delicately form body very nicely.

'She looks familiar...' Duo sighed, not realizing he had out-loud as Heero sent him a look, followed the lavender eyes' gaze and focused on the girl. He shook his head, watching Duo jump as Mr. Sarisohn called for the students to calm down and turn to page 456. He turned back to his text-book, not even flinching at the picture of Trieze Khushranada on the section's cover page. "We're going to be studying on how the Gundams affected the war." Duo shifted in his seat, while Heero struggled to hide his frown behind his emotionless mask. Out of the corner of his eye, Duo saw the new girl frowning.

"Ms. Yuy, perhaps a good introduction for you would be for you to give your opinion for the class." Heero and Duo looked up, only Duo's shock evident though the two share the emotion. The new girl stood, her movements graceful and cat like and the two boys planted their eyes on her as though she were some sort of powerful weapon about to go off in their presence. That meant of course that Duo was visibly shocked and a tiny bit unnerved, while Heero's face remained as emotionless as usual.

"I believe that with out the gundams, we'd still be at war. The gundam Shenlong was responsible for the defeat of Trieze, the Oz leader, and the gundam Zero kept the White fang leader, Millardo Peacecraft at bay. The other gundams destroyed mobile suits and mobile dolls on both the Oz and the White fang side. They believed that by destroying all armaments, or at least as many as they could, that they could rid the universe of war for now, while the lives taken would remind the people of the horrors war brings. Or at least, I can assume as much." She took her seat, and Mr. Sarisohn nodded while obviously in deep thought at this new opinion that had never been voiced in his classroom.

But then he was back to gabbing on and on about little nothings of the war. Neither Heero nor Duo were listening of course, though they had the self control to tear their vision from the girl and watched hear from the corners of their eyes. The class proceeded as usual after that.

Wufei Chang sat down outside the main school building at lunch, his sleek black laptop and wireless internet modem out as he lounged on the grass. Heero had contacted him between classes, basically asking for Wufei's help in the usual matter, or to quote the conversation 'get the information I need'. But Wufei was use to this pilot's anti-social attitude, and was a bit surprised he asked. It had to be serious.

Thus he logged on, and instantly hacked [6] his way through the school's database. Typing in the keywords Heero had given him, he managed to pull up the file Heero wanted. A student profile, Wufei realized, scanning past the basic information, contact list or lack of, and health files.

"Name: Neochi Yuy
Age: 16
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 104 lbs.
Born: The Sanc Kingdom
Live in colony L4 until 195 AC.
Family: None recorded
Health record: No note
Emergency Contacts: None."

Try as he might, Wufei found nothing else on the girl even after searching through the Sanc Kingdom's database. Grabbing his cell phone from his bag, he hit the speed-dial, hearing Heero's lack-of-anything voice at the end answer. "Well I found the girl you're looking for. Her name is Neochi Yuy, Neo Yuy. She was born in the Sanc kingdom and lived on colony L4 until the war started, when she disappeared. There's really no other information here, but I'll send it to your inbox."
"Don't both." Came the dead-pan response. "Call everyone up. We meet tonight, at 8pm, in the cafe on Goode." Then all Wufei heard was a tone telling him Heero had hung up, leaving him quite confused as he dial Trowa's number.

TBC....

[1]- My kitty's name!
[2]- Nara Khou was a teaching assistant I had at one of my camps...nice guy! :) The name is actually Chinese, which is a bit strange since Heero is Japanese, but oh well!
[3]-My sixth grade social studies teacher...lol, I still remember!
[4]- I know his hair is brown, but what shade? I'm going to use chocolate for now! *Wanders off, suddenly hungry*
[5]- I like Duo, don't get me wrong!! It's just my nickname for him.
[6]- Though Wufei is more of the fighter than hacker (that's Heero's area), I can see him hacking. He is the best after all *holds up a sign supporting Wuffie-chan*.

A/N: Did ya like it? I decided to redo this piece, just to kind of see how my writing is coming along (I wannabe a writer after all)...so, how does it look? Good as last time, better, worse? Oh well, please review!! Flames are accepted...believe it or not, but please be nice.
