Disclaimer: Gundam wing is totally not owned by me or anyone I know. The evil plot bunnies just keep breeding and making more and more plot bunnies and I MUST let them out.
Okay I know a lot of you, don't like messing up the 'boys' by pairing them off with OC's. OR Heero with Relena. (wink) But hey, give it a chance I think it kinda came out okay.

Chapter 1 – Prologue, College begins
Call me Mouse, everyone does and I'm in my first year of college. I moved into my dorm room only a day before my classes started. My roommate is a gal named Gloria from colony L4, like me she is here on some kind of scholarship. If I didn't have a scholarship there would be absolutely no way I could have been able to attend this school. It's literally, 'The Best College' on earth, or any one of the remaining space colonies, and only the fabulously wealthy or famous are usually admitted. The security here is superb, I suppose it would have to be seeing as the ex-Queen of the World, Relena Peacecraft is also starting college this year, along with all the ex-Gundam Pilots. The war and the revolt a year later are now over, and the Earth and Colonies are finally enjoying the peace everyone fought so hard for. I obviously am NOT rich or famous, but I'm smart, and fortunately if the college wants to continue getting grants and donations they need to allow a small percentage of us ordinary folk to attend, if we can get a scholarship. I was just such a lucky person.
Now not many people have actually seen the faces of the ex-Gundam pilots here on earth, well not and lived. So how do I know who they all are? During the war I routinely hacked OZ and White Fangs main frame computer systems. I couldn't fight, but I could sabotage, I did what I could. I read all the data both organizations had on each pilot and anyone else connected to them. I have no idea why they are all here? I mean Relena Peacecraft ruled the world for a short period of time and those boys were and still are fully trained combat soldiers. What are they doing, taking math, literature, art and other mundane college courses? And Psychology? I would have expected them to be way ahead of the curve on that one. But I have at least 1 if not several of these people in each of my classes.
In fact one of them has all the same classes as me. Duo Maxwell. I have to say the grainy pictures they had of him in the OZ database don't do him justice. I'm pretty sure I have never seen such a beautiful human being before in my life. His freaking eyes are 'violet', can you believe that? Oh, and that hair. Well, any woman worth her salt would kill to have hair like that. To be honest they are all gorgeous, each in their own way. I'm not stupid or blind, I'm decent looking enough, but not many people can compete with the physical beauty of that group. Talk about eye candy, damn it's good to be me. Somebody get me a drool cup.

Une and the rest of the big wigs in charge, now seemed to feel that we needed to all get some kind of college degree under our belts. Especially if we want anyone to take us seriously, seeing as the wars are now over. I suppose we should be lucky they had given us honorary High School diplomas, and hadn't forced us to go back. Heero was seriously pissed at first. I mean he could probably 'teach' most of the classes here. But between me and Relena, we managed to get him to see reason. I suggested he take classes like photography, art or drama as they were completely foreign to him and Relena threaten to kick him out of her bed. Worked like a charm.
Wufei was thrilled of course, he wants to be a professor, and get like a million degrees. Me and the rest of the guys, along with Hilde (I'd managed to get her included too, seeing as she is like a sister me and had been a huge help during the war.) We're actually pretty okay with this, I mean we're only 18 give or take. We should be in college, drinking beer, eating pizza, hanging out in clubs. Relena and I have managed to overcome our differences, she's forgiven me for shooting Heero, and I've come to realize she ain't that bad. Between us, we're dragging Heero kicking and death glaring all the way, into the real world.
Personally, I would have preferred a less 'rarified' atmosphere for the choice of college they sent us too. But I suppose it's okay, besides at least we were all here together. And not everybody seems to have a stick stuck up their ass. There's this girl I have in all my classes, that seems a little different from the rest. People look at me, I'm sorta used to it. Like Heero told me years ago, I stand out. It's the braid, I mean how many straight guys do you know with a three foot braid? Not that people staring at it are going to get me to cut it off, not ever. My braid and the Cross I got from Father Maxwell and Sister Helen are the only things I can truly call my own. So I'm used to catching people staring at me, I caught her. But, instead of either giggling or quickly looking away pretending she hadn't been staring all, like the other girls do. She just met my eyes, winked and gave me a rather nice smile. She's kinda pretty, in a quiet sort of way.
On the third day of school I had Heero access and pull up her files. No need for me to re-hack the system, when Heero had already done it. As usual he and I were roommates, he'd made sure Q and Trowa we're together. Makes for a lot less sneaking around if your lover is in the same room with you, and if they ever break up, (like that's ever going to happen) Heero can reassign them new rooms. He even managed to get Wufei a room of his own, the studious Chinese boy was extremely grateful, so was Sally. Wink, wink, hey, so what if she's a little older than him? Anyway we looked her information up, seems she's no rich kid. She's here on a scholarship, full ride. Lisa Johnson, age 18, American, born on earth. Not much help, Heero says when he gets a chance he'll hack her home town records and see if he can dig anything else up. I have no idea why he was looking at me so strangely when I asked him to find out about her.

Duo asked me to look up the records of a fellow student yesterday. That was unusual. He's hasn't shown 'real' interest in any other people outside our small group since the war. Relena and I are worried about him, other than one night stands and a few flings, he doesn't date or talk to anyone else but us anymore. I've tried to get him to go to therapy with me, but he says he's just fine, and smiles that Idiotic fake grin of his and shuts me out by talking non-stop about nothing. I did manage to get him to take Psychology, maybe it will help.

AN: New plot bunny bit me while I am still working on my other Gundam wing flick. They are totally different I hope you like. Hang tough.
