Author's Note: After I finished watching Gundam 00 and the movie, I figured I create a "little something" for Saji Crossroad and Louise Halevy since they're one of my favorite couples.
-Post-Season 1-
4 years passed since an unavoidable fate forced them to be far away from each other and go their separate but painful ways.
Why must such an event happen between these two? The answer is simple: they both suffered unexpected downfalls that hit them emotionally and personally
Even when they're far away from keeping in touch with one another, they still think of each other, speaking out their thoughts about each other in their minds
-Saji-
"Louise, it's been 4 years since I've last seen you at the hospital. I hope you're doing well on the road to recovery soon. Again, I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your entire family and all of your other relatives. It's obvious that you still feel the immense pain and grief after witnessing such a horrible attack on your loved ones up-close, especially when it's the wedding of your cousin. I guess showing you those two engagement rings at the wrong time only made you even sadder, I'm sorry for that as well. As for me, well, like you said, you want me to achieve my dream and I just did. I'm already working in space, it's a bit rough at first but I grew to enjoy it. I pray that one day we'll see each other again and have fun moments together like before."
-Louise-
"My dear Saji, it's already a long time since our last encounter; you meeting me in the hospital with two beautiful engagement rings. It's very sweet of you to do such a romantic thing to me but at the same time, it's a little bit hard for me to take since I survived that attack by a Gundam on my cousin's wedding. Not only I lost all of family and relatives, but I also lost my left hand. I'm glad that I'm still alive, but living my life now after that, especially what's happened to my body, is obviously no walk in the park. Seeing you walk away from the hospital and looking at me from a distance and leaving the place made me regret it. I'm sorry that things turned out this way, even you don't like it too I can tell. I didn't tell you this but I joined A-Laws. I have my own reasons why I joined them. I hope that after the world is now peaceful, we can finally be together again."
Darkness falls and the two separated lovers are asleep. The two may be sleeping in different places but they're currently having the same dream together. It's about them seeing each other again for the first time. The two lovebirds, completely bare, are in space combined with a breath taking setting of bright, heavenly skies.
During their slumber, the dream seem to affect them as well as they switch sleeping positions and turn in their bed
S: "Where am I? What's this feeling I'm having right now?"
L: "Where in the world am I?"
S: "Wait a second, is that Louise's voice I hear?"
L:"That voice! Could it be? Saji!"
Both looked around desperately for each other, and they did
S: "Louise? Is that really you?"
L: "Oh my, it's you! It's really you Saji!"
They stretched out their arms in an attempt to reach other again, only for the dream to end abruptly because they both woke up simultaneously. Seems the dream really affected them mentally
"It's just a dream, it's just a dream, yet it felt so real" he muttered
"It's only a dream, but it's so, so realistic" she muttered
Going back to sleep, they're inner selves are reaching out to each other in space
"LOUISE!"
"SAJI!"
-Post-Season 2, Pre-Movie-
Now reunited, she retires from her duty as an A-Law combatant and decided to spend her life with him again
Together again, the two young lovers talk about the future ahead. She's resting once again on bed with him sitting by her side
"Hey Saji"
"What is it Louise?"
"What do you think is in store for the both of us?"
"Even I can't answer that, but I'm very certain that it will be a benefit for both of us"
"I hope so" she rested her head on his shoulder
"I'm so happy to be with her again"
"Seeing him again is the only thing that can ease the pain I've been through in the past"
"Saji, what if a slight misunderstanding occurs?"
"Well, if such an event will occur, we'll get ready for another sequence of tragic events like more conflicts and more ways and solutions to end them all"
"I pray that it won't be as worse as before"
"Same here"
-Movie-
At the mall where they always stay and hang out, news broke out of the recent incidents caused by the Extraterrestrial Living-metal Shape-shifter or ELS for short. The breaking news frightened everyone, especially her as she curled up in his arms just watching the events unfold.
Moments later, several other potential innovators including her suffered headaches as the ELS Quantum Brainwaves are overwhelming their senses
A couple of weeks later, after the earth declared the ELS a threat to the world, he told her that he'll be going to the orbital elevators to take part in saving humanity and the world
"Saji, don't tell me you're going to…"
"I have to…" before he can go, she grabbed his arm
"You can't leave me again!"
"I know, but I'm doing this to not only protect you but also everyone. If I don't go there, we'll all perish" that last remark scared her and finally mustered the courage to let her boyfriend go
"Alright, please do what you can to stop this new war"
"I will" he then left, but before that, she called him again
"Saji!"
"Yeah?" he turned around
"Please come back in one piece!" her face worried
"I will, I promise" then he left, with her just watching him go
"Saji, please, please, please come back in one piece…"
Hours later, new footage of the war is shown on the giant television monitor. Everyone is watching as the drama escalates to new heights. Switching from one scene to another, the next one shows Saji and the rest of his fellow space technicians doing what they can to help and stop the new enemy.
Louise does nothing but see her boyfriend work tirelessly to protect everyone aside from herself. Her eyes widened, unable to turn her back, even for one second
Clasping her hands together in a prayer like form, she prays and hopes that he'll return to earth alive and not in a body bag.
"Please Saji, don't give up! I'm counting on you! Please don't die on me! If you do, I don't know how to live the rest of my life without you! Please Saji, please come back here alive!" are some of the words that are in her mind right now as she watches him in action. Everyone else has the same feeling as her, tense, anxiety and fear.
As all hope seem to fade away, the efforts of Saji, his fellow technicians, Setsuna and the other meisters ended the war and all hostilities
