Prologue: Hey minna san!! To understand most of this fic you gotta know who Sora is and who Vixen is. Don't know? Well, they're both Gundam pilots, the females (and Sora is me ^.^). Sora's Gundam was Starlight, Vixen's was Solo. This takes place after Mariemaia, civilian life has returned. How do the boys fare? Read and find out... ^.^ Hope you like it!
Note: I do not claim to own Gundam or any of the characters, with the exception of Sora, myself. I also own Vixen. hehehe... Gundam is owned by Sotsu, Sunrise, Yoshiyuki Tomino, etc. and their affiliates.
Chapter 1: Memories
After the wars... After Mariemaia... Afterthoughts...
Heero's mind reminded him as he walked along.
The wars... fighting... killing... innocent people...
He shook his head, trying to rid himself of the memories.
Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Sora...
He didn't want to remember.
Zechs, Relena-
God! Get them out of my head! I don't want to remember! I'm not that person any more!
Pilots... Gundams... Mobile Suits... fighting...
BAM! His fist connected with the fence. Why?! Why couldn't he forget? They had all moved on... why couldn't he?! Relena, she was happy as a diplomat; she could enjoy what she was doing now. Duo and Hilde were as happy as could be, Trowa and Cathy. Quatre had continued his work with his sisters and God only knows about Wufei and Sally. Zechs and Noin, working with Lady Une as Preventers. Sora, upon meeting that boy... Hikaru... found her place in the world at last.
Heero...
He gazed out at the ocean. Memories... too many of them bad ones. Fighting and killing... All the others... Even that girl. Vixen. And a vixen she was... Absolutely beautiful. Where had she gone? He shook the thought out of his head.
Heero... forgive. Forget.
His head snapped up. Forgive? Forgive who? Releasing his hold on the wire fence, he began to walk again towards the place he now called home.
Home. Colonies or the Earth? He didn't know. Had he ever had a home before? Had he EVER had a home? He sighed and looked up at the sky. He had once called the colonies his home, fought for them, defended them. Now he called this place on Earth his home. Would it all happen again?
It could happen again.

As she walked down the street, people turned to stare.
Let them. I don't care.
Her beauty was an asset. She knew it as well as anyone else. Yet no one knew what her beauty hid.
Vixen.
Vixen. That's me.
No one knows the real me. No one has. No one will.
The real me... whoever that is.
Those pilots...
Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei.
Sora, Heero...
She stopped.
Heero.
Heero. She wondered if he knew about his Gundam, about her, or Solo. Wondered if he knew about any of them any more. Wondered if he cared, if he remembered.
I remember.
Of course she remembered. She'd never forget. She had killed innocent people. How could she forget that? All for one goal... she shook her head.
I remember too well.
Too well... she had reached her house. She unlocked the door and entered.
I still wonder...
She opened another door.
if things like that...
Walked in and turned on a light.
could ever happen again...
And looked up at Solo and Wing Zero.
