Episode One- Look at what the tide brought in…

Trowa sat on the rocks, staring out to sea, half of his face hidden by his chocolate brown hair, the other half illuminated by the shining moon and stars. He felt comfort out on the shore, just a short walk from the back of one of Quatre's many mansions. He loved his best friend dearly, but were all of these estates really necessary? Considering their occupation, it probably was convenient to have homes scattered about the globe. This particular home rested on the beach near some little Italian village on the west coast. It was probably one of his favorites, if not his sole favorite.

Trowa enjoyed his time away from his friends. He cared for them deeply, and had an abundance of respect for them, but sometimes, due to his loner like nature, he just needed to be alone. This little heap of boulders right on the shore gave him just the peace he desired, especially in the middle of the night. He loved to stare up into the night sky, seeing the bright stars and the bright moon shining above him. The sounds of the ocean tides moving in and out gave him a certain joy and security that he never quite understood.

He sighed slightly, closing his emerald eyes, face turned toward the heavens. He inhaled the sweet scent of the salty ocean in the air. He reopened his eyes and looked down the beach to his right. He squinted his eyes as he saw a black shape a bit down the way. He watched the object as it moved up shakily and then quickly fell again, moving no longer.

Trowa quickly jumped down off the rocks to walk speedily down the beach to the object in question. He thought that maybe it was a small beached whale, or perhaps a dying seal. Upon reaching it, his eyes opened in surprise as he noticed that it was not a whale, nor a seal, but indeed it was a young woman. He reached down to check for a pulse. When he found one, he moved to move her golden hair from her face. She looked to be no older than 18. He scooped her up in his arms in one quick motion and carried her towards the villa.

Upon entering the house, Trowa saw Duo sitting on a sofa, watching some cheesy late night television program.

When Duo heard the door slam shut, he turned his head to look at his fellow roommate. "Hey there Trowa buddy! Hey, what's that?" Duo asked as he quickly jumped up when he saw the small woman in Trowa's arms.

"I found her unconscious on the beach," was Trowa's simple reply. Duo paused a moment in silent confusion before continuing to follow Trowa up the stairs.

Half way up the stairs, Quatre came peering around the corner, "Hey Trowa, uh, why are you carrying a girl?"

Duo decided to answer for his friend as they reached the top of the stairs and into an empty guest bedroom, "He found her on the beach."

Quatre followed the pair into the spare room, "Is she hurt?" He asked.

"She doesn't appear to be," replied Trowa, lying her gently on the bed, "But she is unconscious."

"Then we can leave her here, but maybe someone should stay with her, to make sure that she's okay," said Quatre after thinking for a few moments.

"I was already planning on it," said Trowa, sitting on the bed next to the unconscious blonde girl.

Quatre sat down on the other side of her and stared at her face for a few moments, "Wow. She looks really familiar," he pondered, "But I can's quite remember where I may have seen her."

"I thought the same thing," replied Trowa quietly.

Duo just stared at the pair and then at the girl. "Well, I guess I'm gonna go catch some shut eye. So, I will see you guys in the morning. Peace!"

Quatre stood up and watched as his braided friend practically skipped out of the room. "I might as well get some rest too," Quatre looked to his best friend as he sat looking at the girl, "Don't worry yourself too much over this, ok?"

Trowa gave a silent nod. Quatre smiled weakly and walked out of the room, closing the oak door behind him.

Trowa leaned down to check on the girl's breathing, and again checking her pulse. Once he decided everything was normal, he stood up and walked to the French doors that opened up to the balcony. He opened the doors to let the cool ocean breeze sweep into the room, gently blowing at his hair and collar. He turned his back to the sea and looked at the girl. "Who are you?" he asked the girl silently, knowing she wasn't conscious enough to answer the question.

Trowa moved a chair over to sit beside the bed, facing towards the sea. He wanted to keep an eye on the girl, but he needed the peacefulness of the sea to be in his view. He sighed lightly and leaned back, getting ready for the long night that lay ahead of him.

Sorry it was a short chapter. I promise to get to the juicy details of this girl. This idea has been formulating in my head for a long time, and I'm happy to finally be able to share it with you guys. I hope you liked it. And please, review. I reallly like to know what people think of my work. Even if I get no reviews, I'll still update, because I know that some of you don't like to review, because you're either a bunch of lazy bastards, or just don't feel like it. Tee Hee . Well, until next time! -Lady Elenwen
