A/N: This is my first attempt at writting a fanfic...I know I'm not that good of a writer and my puncuation could use some work...The story has some hints of the GS/D story lines.

Summary: Amelia (Emmie) Loussier, has always had a tough life. She grew up without a father and her mother died the day before her 15th birthday...and now people have been telling her about a boy that might be her brother...

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam SEED/Destiny or any of the characters...except Emmie, Corey, and a few more that I made up.

She was running. The thunder sounded above her. The girl cried out in pain as she tripped, falling to the ground. Quickly she sat up, turning in the direction from which she ran, breathing heavily. Her eyes widened then closed tight as she screamed, awaking with a start.

She sat up, her midnight blue hair a messy mop, and the blankets falling off the bed. She climbed off, and staggered towards the door, her breathing still heavy. Tears stained her pale cheeks as the dream replayed over and over in her head. "…Why does that one continue to haunt me?"

Slowly she opened her door, and walked into the hall. Looking down it, she spied a pair of headlights cutting their way through the early hours of the morning. The headlights winked at her as they passed behind a row of trees. The girl made a noise as she moved across the hall, and to a door.

Slowly she looked up to it, and pushed it open. She was met there by a tall figure outlined by the dim light coming from inside the room.

"Emmie? What's wrong?" the voice, obviously woman asked.

She cried, clinging to the woman's leg. "Mommie…"

Her mother bent over and picked her up. "C'mon now," she said, starting towards Emmie's room. "Did you have that dream again?"

Emmie nodded limply, burring her face in her mother's shoulder.

Gently, her mother set her down on her bed. "Now," she said kissing her cheek. "You get some sleep...and no more nightmares…"

Emmie nodded as she snuggled down into the blankets. "Thanks Mommie…" she said, closing her eyes.

Her mother smiled as she kissed her once more, moving out of the room.

The Other You

Thirteen years later, Emmie sat on a couch in her living room. A cup of hot chocolatein her hands...it was going to be another sleepless night. Her mother had been killed in a car accident, a year before. Nobody was left to comfort her when the painful dreams came to haunt her. She had heard stories from people in town about a boy two years younger than her, who was supposedly her brother. Though she couldn't find and information on him. The only thing she had heard was that his name was Athrun, or Asrun, or was it Asran? She couldn't remember; there had been to many stories told to her to remember.

Then, there was the issue regarding her father. According to the town gossipers he had run off when her 'brother' had been born, taking him with him. On the other hand, there were the stories her mother told. Ones of how her dad had been a great father, and had died at work. He was after all a police officer, supposedly.

She pushed the thought out of her mind. It was better not to think about her father, and 'brother'. She looked back out the black hole in the hall surrounded by curtains. Emmie sighed as the lightning flashed, and the rain pelted down on the think sheet of glass separating her from the darkness outside. This being ORB it rained almost every night, but luckily for Emmie, it seldom thundered. Sheturned on the TV to drown out the sounds of the thunder.

"Today at Eternal High, Student Council President, Amelia Loussier, helped to encourage students at the school."

She watched herself give the speech, only twelve hours ago.

"We need to keep our act together," she had said. "This program is here to help our school. I know the summer is just around the corner, but that's no reason to stop participating in this program. We have to keep at it untill the last day of school."

Emmie made a face. She hated speeches. Yet she continued to get up in front of the largest school in ORB to address a point for a bunch of TV cameras.

Elsewhere on the other side of ORB, a tall, pale, midnight blue haired male sat down, and switched on the TV. Flipping through random channels he stopped on a local news channel from the other side of ORB.

"…keep our act together…"

The boy stood up fast, starring intently at the screen.

"This program is here to help our school…"

The remote tumbled from his hand, and fell noiselessly onto the carpeted floor below.

"I know the summer is just around the corner, but that's no reason to stop participating in this program. We have to keep at it untill the last day of school…"

"She looks just like me…"

A woman walked through the door, drying some dishes. "What did you say, Honey? Is something wrong?"

The boy looked back to his mother and pointed towards the TV. "That girl…she looks just like me…"

His mother glanced towards the TV. "Athrun, there's no one there…you must have fallen asleep."

He looked back to the TV. "But…but I know what I saw…"

She turned back towards the kitchen. "Athrun, stop this. You're to old to be acting like this…"

Athrun looked back to the TV, obviously defeated. "Who were you? Why did you look like me?" he asked the TV. Thinking quickly, Athrun looked at where the news broadcast was coming from. "Migoto…ORB…" he muttered. "That's on the other side of the island…"
