ºDeceiving Fateº
CHAPTER I:
*October 23-
It's the year AC 198. Only 3 years since the war, chaos rules the universe. There is, again, battle between the colonies and earth sphere. Mobile dolls are attacking everywhere. We just need a Gundam or two to pull it off. And we have them… But we need a pilot. Funny enough, the Gundam pilots, Trowa Barton, Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Quatre Raberba Winner, and Chang Wufei are… gone. They're missing. Rumor has it that they're- no, I can't say it. Because if they're dead, so is my hope. I can only pray that ONE of them is out there, somewhere.
The mobile dolls are closer now. I can feel the earth tremble as the explosions take out my high school. My town. My home. Ever closer they near here, but I'm too scared to move. I can only keep writing.
They're almost upon me now. Only a few yards away. They're aiming at my building, my floor. The gun is powered up, and-

PRESENT DAY
"Hey Lizz! 'Sup?" Courtney typed an instant message to her Canadian friend. She tucked her short blonde hair behind her ear as she waited for a response. She pushed her glasses up on her nose and sighed.
"Nothing," Lizz replied. "How 'bout you?"
"N2mh, either…"
"Didn't think so." Lizz sighed. "Found any interesting Gundam stuff lately?"
"Nope. …Well, there is this ONE thing…"
"What?"
"It's like a journal entry…"
"Who's is it?"
"It doesn't say. It's like there's another war going on, and- here, let me read it to you." Courtney copy and pasted the entire article into an email. "I found it at http://clix.to/GundamJournal.

"Weird," Lizz replied. "Almost like it's actually happening. Kinda suspenseful…"
"Yeah," Court said. "I feel sorry for whoever wrote that."
"Ah, c'mon Court, it's not real. You know that."
"Yeah. We WISH, right? LOL!"
"Yep. ^_^"
"You and DUPO." Lizz laughed uneasily at this. Courtney kept on. "Why do you call him that, anyway? Dupo," she repeated. "Sounds like glue or something."
"LOL! You're right. I dunno WHY I call him that…" Court laughed. Lizz, teasingly, wrote "Yeah? Well at least I don't call him 'Quatre-Baby'!" Courtney spoke quietly.
"I only called him that once."
"Yeah, ONCE. LOL!"
"Key word, that 'ONCE'. ^_^" Courtney sighed.
"Whassa matter?" Lizz asked.
"I wish they WERE real…" she wrote.
"Oh but they are," said a voice. No one wrote anything for a minute.
"Funny," Courtney wrote.
"What?"
"I could've sworn I heard someone talking to me just now." Lizz was silent for a moment.
"…You mean you heard it too?" Courtney froze. Both girls, though on either side of the continent, had just heard the same voice? This couldn't be happening! "Courtney, are you there?"
"Yeah… yeah, I'm here."
"You know," Lizz suddenly wrote, "this can't be happening."
"I know," Courtney started to write. But she stopped mid-sentence when "Yes, it can," the voice said again. Again, no one spoke.
"This is too freaky…" Lizz wrote.
"You mean… you're hearing all this?"
"Yeah," Lizz nodded.
"…Ok, I'm officially coming off the computer. Staring at the screen all day has fried our brains, that's all… I just need a break…"
"Oh no, you're perfectly fine."
"FINE?!" Both girls screamed at the same time. "I'M HEARING VOICES AND YOU SAY I'M FINE?!"
"Courtney, stop screaming at your brothers!" her mother called down the stairs.
"Lizz, keep it down!"
"Sorry!" the girls yelled in unison. Then they both turned back to the computer.
"What are we gonna do?" Courtney typed.
"I don't know…" Lizz wrote back.
"You're coming with me, that's what," said the invisible man. Both girls screamed as they were pulled inside the computer.
"Courtney, I told you- Courtney? Where'd she go?"
"Lizz, stop yelling! We're trying to watch- Lizz?"
