Hey this is my first Gundam Wing story that I'm posting, I have other ones that are still in progress like this one but I feel that I need to take a chance on this one, so bare with me. Please review, flames are welcomed.

The Pilots are eighteen, except for Trowa who is nineteen.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or its characters. I do however own Althea Achos and a few other characters mentioned later on in the story.

To Heal and to Love

Pixie-Dust

Althea Achos, a seventeen-year-old girl with honey blonde hair and warm sage green eyes, was walking thru the Arinica jungle in the Eastern United Kingdom. She was on her way to the Sinca town that is two miles away when she heard yelling.

"He couldn't have gotten far!"

Althea quickly hid behind a tree, 'Oz soldiers…I wonder who they lost now…'

She watched as about a dozen or so soldiers searched the jungle floor a half a mile ahead of her. She was so intent on watching the Oz soldiers that she almost missed the slight movement of a bush a few feet from her hiding spot…almost. Althea kept up her guard as she crept forward. Pulling back a few leaves revealed a torn, bloody lump that upon closer inspection turned out to be a teenage boy. Althea deduced that this was the 'who' that Oz had 'misplaced.' She knelt down and gently checked his vitals. He seemed to be stable, but some of his injures worried her. The horror before her, that was actually a person, needed her help and fast. Taking a quick glance around her assessed that the soldiers were getting closer and that there seemed to be no place to hide, to the untrained eye. Althea knew that just two feet to her right, there was an entrance to the secret tunnel beneath them that lead back to the house. Althea gathered the battered form in her arms and dragged him the few feet to safety. After pulling the 'bush' back in place, she held her breath as she heard the soldiers searching the area right above her. She sighed when they passed right by the entrance.

'That was close…now to get back to the house…'

*******

He'd been captured by Oz while doing a standard info mission. He had been ordered to infiltrate the Arinica Base to get the new blueprints on the mobile dolls, and was caught. Luckily he was told to leave his Gundam back at the safe house, so Oz didn't get their filthy hands on it. He was thrown into a cell with no windows and chains on the walls, ones of which he was chained to and beaten for hours. They demanded that he divulge information on the whereabouts of his fellow pilots, and when he refused they beat him all the more. Finally, after tiring from his lack of response, they unchained him and left him in the cell. Thoroughly beaten, but not broken, he was able to over power the guard, who brought his food, and escaped. As he ran into the jungle, a guard was able to shoot him in his right shoulder. He was only able to make it half a mile before he collapsed from severe blood loss and passed out.

Well that is it! I know I'm evil. I won't post anything until I get some reviews! Well tell me what you think, good or bad. I bet you can't guess who was caught! Okay who should be paired with whom? Tell me, I want to know. I mean I have an idea but I want to know what you want. By the way I don't think that Relena will be in it, unless you can change my mind!
