Gundam Pilots meet Reality


Episode 1: A new threat

Reality comes in many forms to many people. Everyone's reality is different. For the Gundam pilots the reality was war and battle. Their reality was one that only they could share together. Now that reality is over and now they have to find a new one. They have new people in their lives and have to find a way to alter their points of view and actions to accomodate both themselves and their new additions. Which is where our story begins....


After Colony 202. The Peacecraft Mansion.

Relena sits in her room thinking about the large fight she and Heero had just engaged in. She was already worried about the stability of her land, name, and health, and was completely stressed. She really didn't need the current issue between she and Heero. The fight stemmed from a lack of understanding on Heero's part. Recently she had been feeling pressured and needed a way out. In fact she hasn't been feeling herself. She's deterring from her always strong persona and has been feeling weak and vulerable. Heero hasn't been there for her and his coldness has been leaving her with a feeling of uncertainty and confusion about where they stand. They've been close friends for the past 2 yrs and he seems to just be adding to all of her problems.

Peygan walks in and notices her dismay. She looks up startled and says, "What are you doing in here??!!" He smiles and shakes his head, "I've noticed that you haven't been yourself lately"
"Oh so somebody noticed"
"Ms. Relena, I don't mean to be rude but I don't like your attitude. After all we've been through together, why would you be so cold to me?"
"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to be so snappy. I'm just irritated and stressed. I don't know what to do. I'm at the end of my tassle."
Peygan looks behind him and closes the door and snickers, "I have a solution to your problem. Have you ever wondered why I'm always so relaxed and calm?"
Relena looks at him confused and suspiciously,"I have wondered...a little. What are you getting at??"
"Do you really want to know?"
"You know I do. Do you really know how I can get away from all of my problems?"
Peygan reaches into his pocket and pulls out a strange container. He extends his opened hand, "Take a look."
Hesistant, Relena opens the box, "What's this??"
Peygan sneers and sighs knowing she is aware of exactly what's in the box. Relena smiles devilishly and looks at the weird looking old man, "Get me a glass of water."
*********************************************************
Time passed slowly in Duo's apartment. Heero, being on vacation, waited for the time when he could return to the normality of Japan. Duo, who just moved, wanted his best friend to come and check out his new place. They were having a good time just hanging out, but Heero was starting to wonder what Relena was doing in his absence. He noticed she had been acting weird before he left, but decided not to say anything. He was kinda ready to leave. Plus Duo and Hilde were sickeningly happy.

Heero was sitting on the couch looking thoughtfully out of Duo's penthouse window. Hilde was cooking and humming happily to herself. Duo walks over to Heero and has a seat next to him, "What's up?"
Heero, unwavering in his glance, "I'm just thinking about Relena."
"Oh really? So what about her hmmmmm?"
"I dunno. Something's not right. I can feel it. I don't know what it is."
"I'm sure you're just imaging it. However, I talked to Sally and she was saying something about being worried about her too."
"She did? What did she tell you? Was it anything serious?"
"Well she said that her temper was extremely violent and she's been short with everyone. Also something about her disapearing in the middle of the night with Peygan. And rapid, and often dramatic, mood-swings."
Heero shakes his head, "Something's up. I think I need to get back as soon as possible."
Hilde walks in and can feel the tension in the immediate area. She chooses not to say anything.
Heero gets up, "I need to get back to the Peacecraft mansion immediately. Tell Sally to meet me there. You can come in a week. I'll let you know the results of what I find."
