Chapter One- Duo's fall out


Duo Maxwell yawned and rolled over in bed. Another glorious day in life.

The war was over and the pilots had locked away the Gundams. Everyone believed they had been destroyed but you never know when you'll need them again. The days had blurred together. The pilots split apart to do their own things.

Trowa went back to the circus. Quatre went back to his colony and took over his old job. Wufei joined Sally Po, as a Preventers. Heero had vanished; no one had seen him since the last battle with Marti Maya. And he himself had gone to his own colony with Hildi and started his old job again, selling scraps.

Duo threw off his covers and sat up in his bed. The sun came down through his window and he could hear the birds singing their happy tune. He yawned again, and wondered what Hildi would do to him today. Tackle him to floor asking for a kiss or just come up to him and do it.

He sighed, she always tried to find a way to kiss him and he just wasn't into that kind of way.

Duo shuddered slightly at the thought when she forced her lips on his yesterday. Maybe he could tell her the truth...nah she'd kill him or would laugh at him.

Duo climbed out of bed. He stretched his arms over his head his toes curled into the carpet as his back arched. He wore a black tank top and boxers. His skin was nicely tan and it clashed with his dark clothes.

He dropped his arms and scratched his belly as he walked to the connecting bathroom. He left the door open as he walked to the shower and turned the water on.

He turned the water to the right temp and then shed his clothes. He turned the shower on and stepped inside.

The hot water felt good on his body. The steamy water rid him of the sweat he worked in during the night. Here on colony L2 it got hot at night and sometimes during the day. There was barely a night you ever came close to getting a cold night and cool off.

Duo sighed and turned. He leaned his forehead against the wall of the shower and thought about the pilots. It had been barely over a year and he missed them. Strangely enough he hoped everyday for a war to break out so they could rejoin together.

Duo shook his head and then unclasped his braid tie and let the hair unravel. Still long, growing longer by the day.

When he left the pilots it had been to his wait but now it was to his thighs, much like it had been before he became a gundam pilot.

Duo turned around and then reached the knobs and shut the water off.

He reached a towel and wrapped it around his body and stepped out into the cool air.

His usual clothes were folded on the sink from last night when he had put them in here knowing he would be running late like everyday.

Duo ran the towel over his body then towel dried his hair.

He stifled a yawn and dropped the towel. He easily dressed himself in his black jean that clung to his well-toned thighs. Then he pulled on his shirt that clung to his lean stomach. Then he pulled the coat over the shirt it helped hide his secrets. He felt like the coat covered them up from anyone seeing them.

Duo then looked in the mirror in front of him. He grabbed a brush and started to unknot his hair.

But something made him drop the brush. He slowly leaned forward to the mirror and looked closer. His root were blonde, a silvery blonde and were just now starting to show.

Duo pulled back and suddenly screamed. But it died and he muttered, "oh shit."


Then his mind flew to the past, to a dream he had had last night.


Dream

"Do you understand your mission?"

"Hai."

"You can not fail like your last mission."

"It wasn't my fault. They got in the way."

"Tell that to them."

"Fine I will when I see them."

"You will do no such thing, understand?"

"Of course."

"Now go before I change my mind."

"Alright I'm going."

"Wait."

"Hai, what is it?"

"Change your looks, you can't have them realizing the truth understood. If you fail to make them believe this is who you are, I will have no choice but to eliminate you."

The person nodded, "understood Dr. G. I don't plan to fail. Call me Duo Maxwell. I'm 14 and I live alone. My parents died I was young and I've lived at the Maxwell Church till I 11, when Oz attack and destroyed. Dr. G took me in and I was trained to Pilot Deathscythe. Happy now?"

Dr. G frowned slightly, "hai I am. Now make me proud...Duo Maxwell."

The person named Dou smirked, "I will. They will never now the truth."

Duo turned and started to walk away. But then stopped and pulled out some devise.

Duo raised it into the air and shouted a few words that were blended together and went unheard

The silvery blonde hair changed to a chestnut brown and shortened in length. Ocean blue eyes were tinted with violet created into cobalt blue.
Duo grew taller and black clothes formed into a priest in training suit.
Duo's skin became a darker tan, instead of a pale creamy color. She wasn't a woman; she now was a man, but only to an extent.
