It was a sunny Friday afternoon; school out, people enjoying the pre-weekend. All over the colony, teenagers were enjoying their freedom, their adolescence. However, in outer space, all was not well. Many multi-colored lights flashed repeatedly; and although this would have been quite pretty under normal circumstances, these lights were instead deemed horrible. The situation was not normal. It was war.
Heero Yuy, 15 years old, should have been one of those teenagers on the colony. He should have been with his friends, hanging out, relaxing and having fun. But instead, Heero was in outer space. Instead, he was in a mobile suit, fighting in the war to save those very teenagers he should've been with from death. Hundreds of thousands of mobile dolls were on him, and more than half were being sliced like butter with a knife. But their sheer numbers had their affect. Heero was running out of ammo, his gundam was slowly being turned into scrap metal, and the 15 year old was exhausted.
That's when it happened. A small slip, a precise and lucky shot, and the lone gundam was down. "Augh!" Heero grunted in pain as the force of the blow propelled him and his gundam toward the colony. Its grip took hold, and they entered the colony's atmosphere, gaining speed faster and faster before finally crashing into the sea.
A hatch in the gundam slid open, and Heero quickly jumped out. As his gundam sank to the deep depths of the sea, he struggled to swim toward shore; and using the last of his remaining strength, stumbled on to the cool, dark sand. Waves dragging at his feet, the newly fallen night's shadows cloaking him, Heero finally gave into the approaching darkness, and fell asleep.
A young girl by the name of Relena Peacecraft, at a party in the very same colony, stared up at the sky to watch a shooting star fly across toward the horizon amidst the flashing lights, wondering what it really was…
~*~*~*~*~
Groaning softly, Heero's eyes slowly cracked open as he awoke. Blinking a few times to clear his sleep-fogged vision, he found himself staring up at bright cornflower blue eyes, whose owner – a young girl – stared back, confused. Reflects kicked in, and jumping up, he quickly covered the lower part of his face with his hand, barking harshly, "Did you see?"
Startled, she fell back, looking up at him with innocent puzzlement. "See? See what? Are you okay…"
He cut her off sharply, demanding, "My face! Did you see my face?"
The girl slowly got up, taking a deep breath, Heero watching her every movement. Gently, in a honey soft voice, she murmured, "It's okay. I called the ambulance; they'll be here soon. Just relax. You have some nasty injuries there."
Heero glared at the girl before turning away as he accessed the situation. What an idiot! Of course, I can't talk. I did fall asleep here in public. Thank Gods it was secluded and my gundam is safe. He glanced back at her, thinking quickly. Hn. She's right about one thing though. I got a couple of bad injuries, nothing too serious though. Feeling the girl's stare, Heero turned to face her again. She was staring at him with a strange expression, and was about to speak, when the ambulance's siren shrieked as it pulled into view. He spun around and flew up the stairs, kicking the two workers off, and jumped into the driver's seat, pushing the driver out. As he drove off, tires squealing, he glanced at the rear-view mirror at the girl, left standing on the beach, dumbstruck.

Relena watched the ambulance speed away in shock. The three hospital workers groaned as they gingerly got up, but she paid them no attention. Instead, her mind was on the handsome young boy's face, which she had managed to see for just a few seconds. Smiling, she walked up the stairs, past the workers, past the driver, to where the ambulance had stood mere seconds ago, tire marks etched into the ground.
She stretched out her hand, as if to give to an invisible being, and smiled sweetly. "My name… is Relena Peacecraft. What might yours be?" She took a step forward, and could just see the boy, staring up at her…
Author's Note: I must warn you: this fanfic is half-truth and half my imagination. Basically, it'll have bits of the original story plot along with my creations. So don't be all "What the hell? This isn't what happened! O_O;" This is an A/U, and don't worry; after the first few chapters, it'll totally be my work. Thanks to FyireChildesDream for pointing this out to me!
