Chapter 1

Lily sat on the couch flipping through channels on the TV. The smell of food slowly traveled from the kitchen into the TV room, causing Lily's stomach to growl even louder. She groaned loudly and spread herself across the couch. The clattering of metal could be heard in the kitchen. Time passed by and Lily stayed patient... until...

"Ah! Nikki-chan... aren't you done with that food yet?" Lily jumped up off of the couch and stormed into the kitchen. Her lavender eyes scanned the kitchen and her eyes laid on a pot holding ramen.

"Just a few more minutes Lily-chan. Goodness...can't you just be patient for once?" Nikki tossed a pot into the sink and started rinsing it out. She hadn't noticed what Lily was staring at.

"I am patient... when I want to be." Lily took a pair of chopsticks and stole a noodle from the ramen.

"Excuse me..." Nikki swatted at Lily's hand, but not in enough time. She just rolled her eyes as Lily laughed and walked out of the room. "That girl can be so immature at times." She poured ramen into two bowls. She then placed the two bowls on the table and set down two glasses of green tea. But it was better for Lily to be immature, then to be the non-caring, no-feeling, cold-hearted Lily that she used to be.

Smiling, Nikki decided that she preferred this Lily. She was fun, and energetic, and she found out that Lily is actually more likely to be hyper and playful than she is to be depressing. She and the g-boys had a lot of fun with Lily and they did a lot of things together, like going out and visiting amusement parks. They had water wars and Lily even taught them that paint gun wars were even more fun.

The two girls sat down at the table and quietly ate their food. Normally they would be chattering away, but today had been a day of nothing to do. The five g-boys had each been invited to Relena's party, and Une had taken Mariemaia to Hawaii. That left Noin to finally go see Milliardo, and Sally to go with Wufei to Relena's party.

It had been two months now since Lily had moved out of her apartment and into Nikki's. They had become the best of friends, and had even called each other sisters. They practically did everything together, and they were still far more skilled in combat and planning then the g-boys were.

"Lily-chan... it's too quiet," Nikki spoke up.

"Hai hai Nikki-chan...demo this week has been quiet with everyone gone. Luckily we leave tomorrow to go to Mars and visit my family. I do miss them very much. I'm sure they'll all be glad to see me. It will sure be a big surprise." What with Koji not appearing since their last battle, Lily had decided that it was safe to finally go visit her family. It's not like she was going to stay.

Nikki smiled at her friend, but deep inside a thought nudged at her, telling her that something was wrong. She didn't know why or what exactly it was, but she just knew that it was there.

"...and Okaasan and Allie-Oneesan..."

Nikki had realized that her friend had been talking to her, but that thought still nudged at her, warning and threatening, that if she went, they went, something bad would happen. Something terribly bad. Or was it if they stayed here? Should they be rushing there to make sure Lily's family was safe?

"...now where did I..."

Then the phone rang. Lily quit her chatter and got up to answer the phone. Nikki watched as Lily tossed her short lavender hair back and placed the phone up to her ear.

"Moshi moshi..." Silence and more silence. Then Lily's face got all twisted and upset. "Cancelled? For how long?" She paused, waiting for an answer. "Oh... well, domo arigatou anyway. Sayonara." The phone clicked as Lily hung it up.

"Nani? Lily-chan... doushita?" Nikki got up and walked over to her friend. "Lily-chan?"

"Betsuni. Daijoubu. We just won't be leaving tomorrow. There's a bit of a problem and they won't say what. As soon as the problem is cleared though, they'll contact us and we can go to Mars."

"Betsuni? Lily-chan, that is something. You said you wanted more than anything to visit your otouto on Friday for his birthday, and to get there in time we have to leave tomorrow."

"Yeah, I know... but to tell the truth, I was also having a bad feeling about going. Maybe this is for the best."

Lily-chan too, Nikki thought to herself. Demo how?

"...go to bed early." Nikki shook her head clear of all thought and looked at her lavender haired friend. Lily brushed two strands of red hair out of her face and walked back to her room.

Nikki sighed. She had known how much this had meant to her friend, but she knew that as stubborn as Lily was, she wouldn't admit that she was upset. "That baka onna." Nikki looked over at the clock. "ONLY SEVEN O'CLOCK! AND YET SHE'S ALREADY GOING TO BED?" Nikki flopped herself onto the couch and breathed in deeply. She grabbed the remote and turned the TV on.

"The Sanc Kingdom has been under attack since..."

"WHAT THE!" Nikki fell off of the couch and scooted up closer to the TV. "LILY-CHAN!"

She heard Lily throw her door open. "Nani Nikki-chan? I'm tryin' to sleep here... do you mind?" Lily looked at the TV. "What the...? But how and why?"

"OZ has taken the Queen Relena as a..."

"OZ? We haven't heard or seen anything about them since that one base blew up, and Koji escaped us. Why are they appearing now?" Nikki sat back down on the couch.

"I have no idea." Lily stood behind Nikki as both girls stared blankly into the TV. OZ was back, meaning war would begin once again. Lily had peace in her life for once, for two whole months. Nothing to worry about, friends to hang out with and time to relax and enjoy her life. Now it was gone, but for how long?

"Lily?"

"Huh?" Lily looked down at her friend, who was staring at the TV wide eyed, remote in hand. It was obvious that Nikki had changed the channel, because when Lily looked back at the TV, there was a new news reporter and a new group of soldiers. But another thing that really caught her attention was the location.

"The assassination on Mars Castle hasn't been confirmed yet. They are still trying to find a way into the castle and to the King and Queen."

"No..." Lily fell to her knees as she felt the world around her crash.

"All planned trips to this beautiful planet have been cancelled and probably won't take place for a while. But... oh wait. It looks like someone is coming out of the castle..."

"Lily-chan... look!"

Lily peeked her head over the couch and looked at the screen. There, six people walked out of the castle. Lily was so relieved. "Oniichan, Oneesan, Otousan, Okaasan, Imouto, Otouto, you're all alright. I'm so glad." She let out a sigh of relief.

"Lily-chan, let's go." Nikki stood up off of the couch and looked at her lavender haired friend.

"Huh?" Lily stood up and looked at Nikki. "What are you talking about? Go where?"

"To Mars of course Baka."

"Mars? Demo, it's blocked off. We have no way of getting there." Lily looked at her friend and sighed. "I'd love to go. You know that. Demo... there is no way right now. It's impossible."

"Impossible?" Nikki hit her friend on the head. "You really are a baka, aren't you? Hello! We are Gundam Pilots, are we not?" She laid a hand on Lily's right shoulder and smiled. "Daijoubu then... We will most certainly find a way to go."

A tear slipped and Lily hugged her friend. "Domo arigatou Nikki-chan." It seemed that ever since they became friends Nikki was always there to cheer her up and keep her going. Nikki and the five gundam boys had all become really good friends of hers, and if anything had ever happened to them, Lily didn't know what she would do.

There was a knock on the door as the two girls pulled away from each other. Lily slipped back into her room, and Nikki went to go answer the door knowing very well that as soon as Lily were to hit her pillow, she'd be fast asleep into the land of dreams.

When Nikki opened the door, she was surprised to find five certain boys standing there... tired from their journey back. But the confusing part was that they weren't even supposed to be back for at least three more days. Then why were they here?

"Heero, nande? Aren't you guys supposed to be with Relena? Or at least saving her?" She led the five boys in and over to the couch. Handing each of them a soda, she sat down next to Heero.

"Hai... we should be, demo, we can't do anything to help her. The base they took her to is outlined with Oz soldiers. Even if we tried to get in, we wouldn't succeed. We have to make a plan first and so we need Lily.

"Lily-chan?" Nikki looked at the ground not wanting to bug her friend with any more problems. Lily seemed to have enough of her own problems.

"Nikki?" Quatre frowned as he looked at Nikki. "Bad idea, isn't it? What's wrong now?"

"Well, Lily-chan had been planning to take a trip to Mars to see her family and be there for her otouto's birthday, demo there was an attack on the Mars family and now all trips there are closed down. She's very worried about her family."

"Can I go see her?" Duo had asked. The only person who had ever been able to bother Lily's sleep and come out without a scratch was Duo, so of course he'd be the one to volunteer to go talk to her.

"Be my guest oh brave lucky one," Nikki responded. "It's not like anything bad will happen to you." Duo only smiled and then disappeared into Lily's dark room.

He stared at her sadly. Oz was back and now this attack on Mars that kept her from seeing her family. He brushed a few bangs out of the way of her eyes and sat in a chair next to her bed. She was beautiful, or so he thought. When they had first met he was scared stiff of her, but later they progressed and became friends. He wondered what would have happened to her, had she not of ever met them. Would she have even softened up like she had around them? Shaking his head, he decided not to even think about it. To tell the truth, the thought actually scared him.

He sighed when a tear slipped down Lily's cheek. It had been a while since he had seen her cry. Two whole months to be exact. He never thought that he would ever see her cry again, but yet, here she was crying, not even knowing that she was. It pained him to see her like this.

"Oh Lily."
