Okay, I do not own the characters from Gundam Wing, although I wish I did. Anyway, I've been reading a lot of GW lately, so I thought I'd try to write one. I hope you like it. And please review! I get writer's block if I don't have any reviews! Well, here it is.
Chapter 1: Meeting Quatre and Acting Foolishly
Well, where do I begin? It was a very hot day, and the news once again was doing a special on the war that Mariemaia had started two years ago. I sighed and turned the t.v. off. "It's just so boooring without all the excitement of the war. I need a vacation." Just then, Mother came into the room. "Hello, Mom."
"Sakaya, dear, why don't you go outside? You're always in the house. You should be out having fun."
"Yeah, yeah. I know. But, it's sooo booring! Mom, can I borrow like, oh I don't know, four or five hundred dollars to buy a shuttle ticket?"
"What?! You know we don't have that kind of money." She sat next to me on the sofa. "Sakaya, why do you want to go to outer space so much? You know how dangerous it is there."
I looked away. Sure it was dangerous, but I didn't care. I needed a little more excitement in my life. So what if Father went there and never came back yet? Then again, that was when the first war started, when the gundams first appeared. Ever since then, I wanted to see a gundam up close. One day, I got my wish.
I was walking by some school when I heard an explosion. Wanting to know what it was, I ran toward the building. That's when I saw it. It was the biggest mobile suit I've ever seen! It looked sort of like a robotic angel, an angel with a giant gun! I don't really remember what happened afterward, but ever since I saw that gundam, I wanted to meet its pilot. But that would never happen.
I looked at the clock. It said it was 11:25 AM, but I didn't care. "If you really want to go," I heard my mother say, "then go ask your uncle to take you. He owns a shuttle and was planning on going to outer space tomorrow evening. If you're lucky, he might take you with him."
"Thanks, Mom. Really, it means a lot to me." And with that, I ran out of the house into the cool air, to try to reach my uncle's before noon. I couldn't wait to go to outer space!
Quatre worked quietly at his desk, hoping to get this paperwork done before tomorrow night. He was supposed to meet someone about a job, but as he looked at the pile of papers beside him, he knew that was going to be no easy task. He sighed and went back to work.
"Master Quatre," said Rashid (AN: is this correct? Please let me know!).
"Yes?"
"You have a phone call. It's Mr. Namuur."
"Oh, thank you." He got up and followed Rashid to the telephone. "Hello?"
"Is this Mr. Winner?" asked a man's voice.
"Yes."
"Well, it seems that my niece is going to be coming with me. The problem is, I don't have a place for her to stay, so…"
"So you wanted to know if she could stay here?" Quatre continued for him.
"Yes, if it's not too much trouble."
"I don't mind at all. I think we have an extra room available."
"Thank you, Mr. Winner. Oh, and… a little warning before you meet her."
"What's that?" Quatre asked, curious as to what the warning could be.
"If she gets too excited, well, don't give her sugar. That's the best way to put it."
"Okay…" The blond boy didn't quite understand what he meant, but decided to follow his warning.
"Well, see you tomorrow."
The shuttle trip was long and boring. I couldn't keep my eyes open. So, eventually I fell asleep, and I dreamed of nothing ordinary. There were five boys in front of me, but it was so dark that I couldn't see their faces. Then, behind them I saw five gundams. Each one was different, but there was one that I recognized right away. The gundam that I saw that night by the school was behind one of the boys. Right away I knew that he was the pilot. I wanted to meet him, to say hi to him, but the sudden landing we made awakened me.
Stepping out of the shuttle, I looked around at the many buildings. Who said the colonies were supposed to be so dangerous anyway? They seemed pretty harmless to me. I looked up at the artificial sky above us. This was going to have some getting used to.
My uncle looked around, apparently trying to find someone. "Ah, there he is." I turned to look at the young man that my uncle had pinpointed. He was sooo hansom! Such lovely blond hair and beautiful blue-green eyes belonging to such a hansom-looking guy should have been forbidden! I could feel my face turn red, but at the moment I didn't really care. Who was this perfect prince in front of me? Okay… now's not the time to make a fool of myself. I have to say something intelligent! Although, at the moment I wasn't thinking intelligently. Oh, why can't I say anything to him? I love you! I love you! Was it really that hard to say?! Now wait a minute, he might think I'm crazy if I just say 'I love you' right away! I mean, come on, we don't even know each other yet! But does that really matter?! No way! Nothing matters when it comes to love!
"Did you have a safe trip?" he asked my uncle. Oh wow, what an angelic voice!
"Yes we did, thank you. I suppose you're Mr. Winner?"
"Yes, that's right."
"This is my niece, Sakaya."
"How do you do?" he greeted me politely.
"I-I-I-I'm f-f-f-f-f-f-f-fine!!!!!! So, do you live around here, Mr. Winner?" Idiot! Of course he does! I can't believe I said that! I'm such an idiot!!!
"Well, actually I live on the other opposite side of the city. So we better start heading back there."
"Yes, I agree. Come on, Sakaya."
"Y-yes, Uncle."
We all shared the same limosine. Uncle and Mr. Winner were talking about the job that my uncle wanted, which didn't seem like a good conversation to listen to. I watched out the window, watching nothing in particular. I was sure that he thought I was crazy now, then again I guess I was. Just call me crazy, I don't care. Everyone else did back at home, so why not here too? It was always so lonely back there, since I didn't really have any friends. I had hoped that things would be different here. Maybe I just had my hopes set too high.
"What's wrong, Sakaya?" I heard Uncle ask me.
"It's nothing, Uncle. Really. I guess I'm just a little tired."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I'm fine."
"If you're not feeling well, just let us know," said Mr. Winner. He had the kindest eyes! I couldn't help but go all gaga over him! And he was worried about me!!!!! I felt I could fly to the moon and back on the wings of love! He was so wonderful in every way possible!!!!!!! This was my chance to redeem myself, to show him that I wasn't just a mental case that fell in love with every cute guy that crosses my path!!!!
"I guess when I'm bored my mind goes out the window and my sanity goes with it!" Oh noooo…………… I'm doomed!!!! Gotta look away! Don't look at him! Don't even talk to him!!!! Ahhh!!!!! Why me????????
Well, no one said a word after that, making me feel that much stupider! I was relieved when we reached our destination. It was a large mansion, with a nameplate that read Winner. I guess it was an okay mansion. "Well, it's late," said Uncle as he moved a little toward the limo. "We can further discuss the job issue tomorrow."
"Right. Miss Sakaya, you will be staying with us during your visit if you don't mind. We have a room ready for you."
"R-r-r-r-really????!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! Thank you so much! I don't know what to say! Ohhh, this is like a dream come true!!!! Oh, wait till Mom hears about this!" Oh no, I did it again! Is blabbing like an idiot the best thing I can do? Must be.
"Like I said." Uncle sighed as he continued, "This happens when she gets too excited." Then to me he said, "Now, remember, no sugar."
"Yes, Uncle, I know. No sugar. Don't want me jumping off the roof now, do we?"
"Don't tease. She did that before, you know," he added to Mr. Winner. "Well, see you tomorrow." Then he left in the limo to find a hotel.
I turned to Mr. Winner. "I'm very sorry 'bout the way I've been acting, Mr. Winner. I hope you don't think I'm troublesome. Then again, I guess I wouldn't blame you if you did."
"I don't think that at all. And you can call me Quatre."
"REALLY?!!!! Oh wow! I don't believe it; what an awesome name! I… oops. I did again! I'm so sorry!"
"It's okay, really." He smiled as he spoke. What a cute smile! I swear, you couldn't find a guy this perfect even in a manga! Oh listen to me, that's just silly. He would be much more perfect in a manga or an anime! Oh, I just love him so much!
I followed him inside and was amazed by the actual size of the living room! About twenty chairs were in here. I couldn't even fit five in ours! "Wow…"
"It is big, isn't it?" he said, noticing my reaction.
"Oh! Umm, I guess!"
"Your room is right upstairs. The first one on the right."
"Thank you, Quatre." I ran up the stairs, eager to start my new life living in the colonies with one of the cutest guys in the universe. Even if it was for just a short while. I just wanted to be friends with him, if that was possible. How was I supposed to know that I was going to meet more guys tomorrow?
Okay, there's chapter 1. Now if you like it, please let me know. I will accept all reviews, no matter how silly! I will try to write chapter 2 as soon as I can, but it may take awhile since I'm gonna have to do make-up work for missing so much of school. I hate being sick. Also, if you have any ideas on what should happen, then please let me know what.
Thank you.
