Author's note: all right, first off I've only been watching Gundam Wing for about three weeks, not in order and missing a bunch of episode. So pleas no flames. Second I don't own Gundam Wing, *sigh* I don't even own anything Gundam Wing related. And third, in this Endless Waltz never happened. :)

A.C. 196
In Canada
A teen sat quietly in the back off the class. Her face expressionless. When the bell rang, signaling the end of class. She got up and left. Ignoring the hostile stares of her class mates. She walked out of the school never to be seen there again.
Somewhere on earth.
"Hey Heero, what's up." Duo smiled at his comrade. Heero just ignored him and walked in to class.
"Come on can't you say anything?" Duo said taking his seat behind Heero.
"No." Heero said emotionless as ever.
"I herd we're getting a new student to day. I herd that she doesn't have any parents. And she been in eight schools since the year begin." Duo said.
"You know Duo, you can't believe everything that you hear." one of the student said taking his seat next to Heero. The rest of the class filed in.
"Good morning class." the teacher said standing at her podium.
"Good morning Mrs. Bigbee." the class replied, Duo could be herd above the rest.
"Class we have a new student Please say hello to Cimarron." the teacher turned to the girl at the door. She was tall and thin but held her self with the grace of a cat. She had red hair, and green eyes. A couple of student whistled wile the rest of the class said hello.
"Hello." she said with out any emotion.
"Look's like some one trying to be like you." Duo whispered to Heero.
"You can take the seat next to Mr. Maxwell. I'm sure he'll help you fit in." Mrs. Bigbee pointed to an empty seat. Duo jumped up and puled out the chair. Cimarron sat down and took out her book.
"So where are you from?" he wisped after the teacher had stared explaining the math problem.
"Canada." she whispered back, never taking her eyes off the teacher.
"Oh no not another one." Duo sighed.
"What are you talking about?" Cimarron asked, looking at Duo. The American boy smiled and said, "tell me that you show emotion, plesassssss."
"What kind of emotion do you what me to show." she asked.
"Can you smile?" Duo asked showing his own smile. She looked at him and let evil smile spread across her face, showing off her unusably sharp K-9 teeth. She then drop the smile and whispered
"Now that you've seen me smile I must kill you." Duo's eyes got really big tell he saw her smirk.
"Why I... I'm the..." duo started but was interrupted.
"Duo Maxwell to the office now." Mrs. Bigbee said.
"Uh what did I do?"Duo asked innocently.
"I'm stuck to my chair. I know you did it so don't denied it." the class laughed as Duo stood up.
"I've been set up." he said as he walked out the door. Cimarron smirked got even bigger.
Later that day
"Hey Cimarron what up." Duo said. Cimarron turned around and waited for Duo to cache up. she did not have to wait long.
"Why don't I show you around." he smiled. "Unless you're busy."
"Nah. I got nothing better to do. Show me your town, o braided one." she smiled. Duo laughed and led the way.
Later still
"So, Braid boy what's this place?" Cimarron said pointing to the small house that Duo had stopped at.
"Well i don't know where you live so I walked you to my house." Duo smiled. "Would you like dinner?"
"Yes I would, do you want help fixing it?" Cimarron asked. Her eyes twinkling.
"Can you boil water?" Duo asked solemnly as he opened the door. Cimarron nodded.
"Good. HEERO Where are you." Duo led Cimarron to the kitchen.
"What?" Heero asked coming in to the kitchen.
"Just wanted to know if you where home yet." he turned to the refrigerator. "How 'bout hamburgers?"
"Sounds good to me."
30 minutes latter
"Mmm this is good." Cimarron said taking a big bite of the hamburger. Duo nodded to busy shoving the food down. Cimarron took this as a challenge, they each tried to out eat the other.
"You win." Cimarron said when Duo ate one more hamburger than her.
"Hahaha, ow I think I ate to much."
"Well I'd better be off. I've got some stuff to do. Good night." Cimarron said leaving.
After the kitchen had been cleaned up by a whistling Duo. Heero said,
"Well?"
"Well what."
"Hilide?" Heero asked in his monotone voice.
"What are you talking about?" Duo asked, "Never mind I'm going to bed." then Duo went off in to his room. Slamming the door.
"Touched a nerve." Heero then went to the computer and started typing.
Duo's room
"That...that..."Duo hesitated, 'why am I mad?'
"Cause he implied that I was cheating on Hilide" Duo answered his question out loud. Duo looked at the bed and sighted. He was going to have nightmares, he could all ready feel them. They where waiting, waiting for him to go to sleep. He surged, "might well get this over with." He lied down and fell asleep.
He saw Hilide talking to a woman dressed in a black jumpsuit, her hair was a black almost blue in color, done in a braid. Hilide laughed at something the woman had said, the woman turned around and looked straight at Duo, her gold eyes where full of laughter. Then Hilide disappeared and some troopers, dressed in uniform smiler to Oz, grabbed the woman. She put up a fight but one of the troopers hit her with the handle of his gun knocking her out. Then a siren cut thru the dream.
And Duo shot straight up reaching for his gun. The siren was real, it was the alarm to let the people know that the enemy had been sighted. Duo ran thru the house and out the door, two steps behind Heero.
"What's going on?" Duo asked, his dream forgetting. Heero ignored him. That's when they saw it. A mobile suit similar to the Gundam but a bit smaller, it has wings and was all black. As it flew over head Duo wisped, "I wonder where that one came from?"
inside the MS
A pretor smile slow appeared on the pilot's face. The pilot wore a dark green jumpsuit, gloves and a helmet.
"Hmmmm interesting. There security is lax. They don't even have there MS ready." the Pilot shook its head.
"That was the purpose of you flying over them." The MS answered.
"Tell me again why I installed an AI chip in you?" the pilot flew the MS back the way they had come from.
"Because your stupid." The MS replied.
"Thanks Wind, I always know I can count on you." The Pilot responded sarcastically. Wind just laughed.
the next day
"Cimarron did you hear about the unidentified MS?" Duo asked as he sat down in first hour. She nodded. Then let that smirk appear.
"I've got an idea, and you can't get blamed for this one, cause I'll be you alibi." Cimarron whispered her plan to him. He nodded.
Over the next two weeks they played jokes on every one. Including each other.
"Man am I hungry." Duo said looking up at the clock. "I still have forty minutes till lunch." Duo muttered then looked at Heero and was about to make a joke when the siren went off again. Heero headed out the door followed by Duo. They made there way to there Gundam. And was attacking the Mobil dolls before the base had time to get there own MS out. The black MS was there also, destroying as many MD as the Gundam pilots. After the MD where destroyed the black MS turned to the Gundam.
"Thank you." the pilot of the black MS said to the Gundam pilots.
"Hi, I don't suppose you happen to know who they are?" Duo asked.
"Yes. Oz, or else someone calling them self Oz." then the black MS took off.
The next day
Duo stood in the rain pounding on the door,
"Come on Cimarron, I know you're here." he mumbled to himself. The door opened to revile Cimarron, but she looked very different. She had on Jeans and a tee-shirt, her hair was now blond and done up in a bun. But the thing Duo most noticed was the pistol in her hand.
"Uh hi Cimarron, where we're you today?" Duo smiled, pretending that he didn't see the gun.
"Hello Duo, I'm not going back to school."
"Can I come in?"
"Oh yeah." she put the gun up as she stepped away from the door.
"Your hurt." Duo said when he noticed the bandage around her arm.
"It's nothing. I cut it yesterday. As for why I'm leaving, because of Oz." Duo looked dumfounded.
"How did you know about Oz?" He asked.
"I only going to telling you this because you're a G-boy. I know because I'm the one that told you."
"But the pilot of the black MS told us...that means you're the pilot." Duo set down on the couch.
"Your smart, braid boy." she smiled.
"But how did you get the MS?" Duo asked. Cimarron plopped down next to Duo.
"I'm only telling you this because I trust you. You're the first person I've actually enjoyed being with and trust. So I will tell." Cimarron hesitated then started her story, her eyes unfocussed. "We where created by scientist. We where designed to be the "perfect commando". We had enhanced eyes, hearing and healing ablates, we where trained to be soldiers ever before we could walk. There was ten of us. We each excels in different areas. My speciality was piloting. So they based most of my training on stuff I would need to know, mech skills, acting, stealing, fighting, weapons, and piloting. The only thing is they forgot the fact that we had feelings. Most of them killed them self, eventual only two of us was left. The projected was terminated, we where supposed to be killed but we escape. We decided it would be best if we went separate ways. So I infiltrated a nearby base and became one of the mechanics. None of the other mechanics like me so I got voluted to test pilot the new Gundamian Alloy Mobile Suit, or GAMS. They had designate the run to kill me. They didn't know how good I am at piloting
They had used a Quimkalia crystal to power the GAMS. The only problem with Quimkalia is, if blood is spilt on it, the crystal forms a sort of symbiotic bond with that person. I had accidently cut my hand wile I worked on GAMS. The blood fell on to the crystal. So I had been planing on stealing it since then. I had also installed a AI system. So when I took her on a test pilot, we escaped. She's been with me ever since then."
"She?" Duo asked.
"Yea, her name is Night Wind, but I usually call her Wind."
"So, when are you leaving?" Duo asked standing up.
"tomorrow."
"In that case why don't we go and get some thing to eat, and check out the latest movie." Duo smiled. Cimarron looked at the door then reached for her leather jacket. "Lead on, O braided one."
"Of corse, O cat like one."
Late that evening
"Thanks Duo for everything, I'm sorry that I have to leave. But the scientist knows I'm not dead, yet. You've been like a brother to me." Cimarron blinked once then contd. "well what I imagine a brother to be like any way."
"Good by. And you can allows count on the god of death to help if you need it." Duo smiled then turned and left.
Duo opened the door of his house quietly not wanting wake up Heero. The living room was dark. Duo took about two steps before realizing some else was in the room.
"Heero?" Duo asked quietly.
"What happened?" Heero asked. Duo didn't turn the light on, he just closped into one of the chairs.
"She was all packed up. She'll be leaving tomorrow. She was the Pilot of that MS. We went and saw a movie."
"Get some sleep Duo." Heero stood up and went to bed. Duo just curled up right there and fell asleep.
The next day
"Hey Duo, my man, what's up?" a student sat down next to Duo. Duo put on a smile, but anyone who really knew Duo would know it was fake.
"Not much. Did you hear that new..." Duo stop, he heard screaming. The student in the class looked out the door to see two guards holding a girl between them. Duo recognized the girl it was Cimarron. She was screaming and trying to get free. A guard hit her with the butt of his rifle, knocking Cimarron out. As they carried her passed Duo saw two more guards holding her feet. The class was silent, until the intercom came on.
"Hello, this is Oz. We back and better than before. Now if you students would pleas make your way to the gym we have a demonstrate. Oh and you Gundam pilots, don't try leaving. Or we'll make the school pay."
"Whoa man, that was messed up. I thought Oz was destroyed."
"They where." Duo said as he stood up. His eyes burning in rage. The class merged with the rest of the school as they made there way to the gym. Duo felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned to see Heero's hand.
"Let's go." Heero said.
"Let go Heero, they have Cimarron. I'm going to rescue her."
"Why?" Heero asked as they made there way to the gym.
"I don't know, but I have to help her." Heero looked at his friend and saw the determination in his eyes and nodded. By this time they had made it to the gym. Every one was sitting quietly.
Two guards held Cimarron on her knees, her hands where handcuffed behind her. She had a large bruised forming over her eye. She stared at the wall, showing no emotion. A tallish well built guy walked up to Cimarron.
"Ah my dear child, how are you?" the guy said sarcastically.
"I will not tell you any thing, scientist." Cimarron said still staring at the wall.
"Oh but you will, dear child. Now tell me where the Gundam pilots are." the scientist said.
"Why should I know them?"Cimarron said.
"Because you always have interesting friends. You do know them. I saw you fight with them." the scientist said.
"If I did know them I would not tell you."
"Fine. I heard that in the struggle you cracked a rib." he smiled as he started probing, none to gently, her sides till she winced in pain. He started pushing it hard, saying "tell me who they are and I'll stop." finally the rib snapped and Cimarron started breathing raggedly.
"I did not think you would speak. I trained you better than that. So another method will have to be tried." he waited for her to say something. When she said nothing he continued, "I will, dear child, shoot every person in this school. Unless the pilots are found."
Cimarron searched the crowed looking for Duo. When she found him she sent a look that Duo understood.
"He'll do it, we have to turn our selves in." Duo whispered turning to Heero, but Heero was not there. Duo stood up.
"Hey, Oz scum, here I am, the God of death waiting, well come on." Duo held his hands out waiting to have handcuffs placed on him. 'Heero you had better have a plan.'
"Hey Duo man what are you doing, they'll kill you." Duo's classmate said, trying to pull Duo back in his seat.
"Of course they'll try killing me, it won't be the first time." Duo smiled. By this time two guards had come up to Duo. Duo's classmates scooted away from him, and the whole school was talking. They dragged Duo next to Cimarron.
"So, dear child, is this pilot you friend?" The scientist asked. Cimarron ignored his question. So the scientist grabbed the back of her head and made her look at him.
"You think he's cute don't you." he sneered. Cimarron eyes unfocused as she recited,
"I am the perfect commando, I do not fell pain, I do not have emotions, they only weaken me and benefit the enemy, I do not care for anything but the mission. I do not fear, not the enemy, not life, not death." as she finished a single gun shot went off, impaling its self in to the scientist's heart. Dead before his body hit the ground. The guards let go of there prisoners in order to find the killer. Cimarron got her feet under her and jumped straight up, kicking both guards. Either by luck or skill she hit both in the temple, knocking them unconscious. When she landed her ankle gave out, dumping her on her side.
Duo scythed his foot between his guards, dumping them on their back. grabbing a gun he asked,
"Who has the key?"
"The scientist dose." One of the guards said, looking fearfully at Duo. Duo unlocked him self and tossed the handcuffs at the guard.
"Put them on." Duo said, the guard did as he said. Duo undid Cimarron handcuffs tossing them to the other guard. Duo then sat down the gun.
"Hey Cim. you all right?" Duo asked kneeling next to his friend, she just gave him 'you got to be kidding look'.
"Can you walk?" he asked.
"No..." she said slowly, "ankle's twisted."
"Where there more guards?" he asked.
"It doesn't matter, I took care of them. Get her and let's go." Heero said. Duo picked up his friend. She wrapped an arm around her rib then passed out.
"But where are we going? They probably know where we live or will soon." Duo said following the emotionless solider.
