Wing characters in this story are simply being used to entertain people,
and I in no way claim them as my own. However, Alira Pyke is my character,

Chapter One: A Casual Run-In
The midsummer sun beat down on the blacktop as Heero and Duo walked down the main street of a kind of small town. Walking towards them on the other side of the street was Hilde, Duo's girlfriend. The 16 year-old American jogged over to meet her, his yard-long braid bouncing on his back as he ran. "Hey babe," he said, grinning broadly and waving. "What say we go find some chow? I'm starved...." Duo's voice kind of trailed off as he envisioned himself surrounded by burgers and fries. He was brought back to reality when Hilde elbowed him sharply in the ribs. "Duo!" she yelled, faking anger. "Did you hear any of what I just said?!" "Um.... Can I use one of my lifelines please?" Hilde sighed, slightly irritated. "All I was saying was that we can go to that sub shop ove---" But she didn't get to finish her sentence, because Duo was already over at the sub shop ordering. He came back with a tray of four subs. "Uh, Duo?" Hilde asked, giving Duo a strange look. "There's only three of us, why'd you get four subs?" Duo was so shocked, he almost dropped his sub. "Why?? I told you I was hungry.... Two of the subs are mine...." Heero rolled his eyes at that. "I swear, Duo...." he said, shaking his head, "you're a walking garbage disposal! How can you eat so much all the time?!" Once again, Duo was shocked. This time, a bunch of lettuce from his sub fell onto his lap. "Wow! The 'Perfect Soldier' broke his vow of silence! Incredible...." He looked down and noticed the lettuce for the first time. "Dammit! This was perfectly good lettuce, too...." The braided boy seemed quite disappointed as he put the lettuce on his first sub's paper wrap to be thrown away. After everyone was finished, the trio continued to walk down the street. A little ways down, the large neon sign for the movie theater flickered off and on a little bit. "Hey.... wanna go check out a movie?" Hilde asked, looking to Duo, then to Heero, and then back to Duo. "You two can if y' want...." Heero said in his usual monotone. "I'm beginning to feel like a bit of a third wheel here.... I'll see you later." He waved slightly and then walked off. Heero walked back along the way he had just come with Hilde and Duo, and smirked a little, knowing how much Duo would talk during the movie. He grabbed a newspaper off of a stand, handing over the money for it without even looking up. Continuing down the street, not watching where he was going, Heero walked right into another person, who dropped the book she was reading. She looked to be about 16, the same age as Heero, she was about the same height, and had her light brown hair tied back in a sort of quick bun. She bent down to pick up her book, all the while apologizing to Heero. "I'm so sorry.... I should've been watching where I was going, but I love this book, and it's getting to the best part, where.... wait, you don't need to know that, and anyway, I'm really sorry about just walking right into you and...." She stopped short, and looked up at Heero, who had put his hand on her shoulder and was looking right at her with his deep Prussian blue eyes. "It's all right," he said softly. "It's not your fault. I wasn't watching where I was going either." He motioned to the newspaper he was holding, and laughed a little. The girl's nearly translucent blue eyes assumed a more thoughtful look as she looked at Heero. "Who are you?" she inquired after a while. Realizing his hand is still on the girl's shoulder, Heero blushed slightly and removed it. "Yuy. Heero Yuy." He had let his emotions show in public, something which had never happened before to the perfect soldier. "Heero Yuy, eh? All right then. I'm Alira. Alira Pyke." She smiled a little. "Well, I guess I'll see you around sometime, bye!" With that, Alira walked away, turning around to wave back at the bewildered Gundam pilot. "What the hell just happened?!" he thought. "I just gave my name to someone I walked into on the street! What was I thinking??"
