- 05 - 04 - 03 - 02 - 01 - Zero!-
Irea sighed heavily, her practiced speech swaying through her mind like a drunken man on the verge of collapsing. Memories of her brother before his first pilotting of the mobile suits haunted her thoughts, clouding her already troubled mind. She smiled at the peaceful boy that lay asleep in the bed beside her, he had become a man worthy of the Winner name, one that upholds peace in the colonies, but Quatre had taken a different approach to the business of the Winner family. Instead of accepting the total pacifism, he had taken arms to fight for peace - something that thier father had not approved of, something that Irea admired about her little brother.
Quatre stirred and sat up, rubbing his eyes. "Quatre, you've slept a long time, nice to see you awake!" Irea spoke with a masked enthusiasm, her revelation now ready for him, but the question is if Quatre was ready for Irea's revelation... Quatre looked up at Irea, smiling his smile, "Irea, good morning.... how long have I slept for?" Irea glanced at her watch, then back at Quatre, "Ten hours now...." Quatre seemed suprised, he had never been one to sleep in, but how he managed it today had been a mistery to Irea, and frustration to Santina, wqho had been making a point of Quatre's sleep-in all morning.
It's time....
Irea took one of Quatre's hands into her own, clasping it lightly, making the look in Quatre's eyes turn from tiredness to a slight degree of worriedness "What is it Irea?" One of his more concerned tones... "Quatre, there's something I want to tell you, and someone I want you to meet... So I think it best for you to hurry and get dressed..." Irea smiled, silently confirming to Quatre that all was not well. Quatre nodded slightly, his voice still slightly worried, "Yes, Irea..." Irea smiled and stood up, walking non-chalantly to the door, "Make haste, little brother.... I'll see you soon..." She left the room, and Quatre got up from his bed and walked over to the window "I wonder who I am to meet..." He muttered to himself before pulling his night-shirt off, tossing it back onto his bed.
Quatre changed into one of his less usual outfits, walking out of his room and sighting Irea, walking over to her. "Quatre, dressed already? hmm... good, just follow me..." Irea started walking through some corridors, and after a short while Quatre spoke "Where are we going to, Irea?" Irea turned to Quatre after a few strides, she had stopped just in fornt of a door. "Quatre, there have been a few things that your father has neglected to tell you, so now I am going to answer some of the questions you have had.... Quatre, you weren't a test-tube baby, as you have thought, you were one of the two natural-born children of the Winner family....." Irea paused to take a breath, almost waiting for Quatre to start yelling at her.... it didn't happen...
"There is another?" Quatre asked the question that Irea least expected.... She almost sighed with relief, but she thought it better to explain to Quatre about Santina first. "The other is your twin sister, she is waiting behind this door to meet you.. her name is Santina and you are her senior by ten minutes.... It is time..." Irea didn't leave enough time for Quatre to ask any other questions, she just grabbed the knob of the door and stepped back into the room beyond...
