Hi everyone in where-not-land! This is my first G Gundam fan fic! And I've
only seen seven episodes of the show, so please forgive me if I make any
mistakes. My story is a bit slow, but bear with me. I'd really appreciate
it if you reviewed my story. Constructive criticism is welcome. Thank you.
G Gundam is so cool!

Shifting Darkness
Chapter I: Jack of Diamonds
The sweet, low tones of a cello echoed throughout the palace. "The Princess plays wonderfully, doesn't she?" Raymond commented to a nearby servant as he made his way upstairs.
"Yes, Princess Bunny is a wonderful at everything," the servant replied.
Raymond nodded and continued on his way up to the Princess and her family. He knocked on the door. "Come in," Bunny's mother, Queen Marie-Louise called through the mahogany door. Raymond entered the room, carrying a tray of fresh lemonade with him.
Bunny finished her cello piece. "Wonderful Miss Bunny, wonderful," Raymond praised her.
"Thank you, Raymond," she said politely and placed her cello carefully back in its place against the wall. Raymond looked at the Queen's seventeen-year- old daughter. She had flowing, long golden-reddish hair, and violet eyes like her father, George de Sand. The slim figure of Princess Bunny glided across the floor towards Raymond. He noticed that she was always the perfect lady.
"Mother, may I change my name?" Bunny asked her mother pleadingly.
"Now why would you want to do a thing like that, Bunny dear?" her mother responded.
"Well-I know it's impolite-but, I don't think my name really suites me. Wouldn't a name like Maria, Margaret, Ezter, some name like that suite me better?" Bunny asked.
"Honey, I think your name is fine. And you wouldn't want to insult Uncle Chibodee by changing your name, would you? He did name you, after all."
"No, I wouldn't dream of insulting Mr. Crockett, he's always been so nice to me. But still. I'm not sure he knew what he was doing when he named me 'Bunny'," Bunny complained in the politest way possible.
"Honey, it doesn't matter what's on the outside, it matters what's on the inside," Marie-Louise said as she hugged Bunny close to her. "And all of you is perfect," she whispered into Bunny's hair.
"Thank you mother," Bunny pulled away from her mother. "May I be excused?" she asked.
"Yes, you may," Marie-Louise replied. Bunny curtsied and left the room.
"You brought her up very well," Raymond complemented Bunny's worried mother.
"Yes. Sometimes I'm afraid I brought her up too well," Marie-Louise said with a sigh. She turned to look at Raymond. "Do you think I should let her change her name?"
Raymond shrugged. "It's your decision. She's your daughter." He put down the tray of lemonade and left the room.
Marie-Louise sighed again. She had raised her daughter too well. Bunny had been subject to the best of everything. She barely even knew of the world outside the palace. Twenty years ago, Marie-Louise had been involved in one of the most amazing events in the history of the world.But she was glad there was now peace in the world. Well, at least as peaceful as the world would get. The 13th Gundam Tournament had been a landmark in everyone's life. Marie-Louise was just glad that her daughter was protected from the world outside the Neo-France palace. She sighed again.
"What's wrong, dear?" Marie-Louise heard a voice say. She turned around to see her husband George de Sand standing against the wall of the room, concerned. "Nothing. I was just thinking." The rest of the sentence drifted off. "Bunny wanted to change her name again," Marie-Louise said, changing the subject. "Remember when we let Chibodee name her?" The Queen of Neo-France laughed at the memory.
George nodded, a smile playing across his face. "Yes. I remember. On her name day we had invited all of the members of the Shuffle Alliance, among thousands of others. Why did we let Chibodee out of all the people name our daughter?" George laughed.
"I think it was because you two were the closest. You defeated that awful Gundam together, so.I think he deserved it," Marie-Louise said.
"Yes, you're right. Forgive me for ever doubting Chibodee. When we announced that he was going to name our daughter, I remember he walked up to her crib so joyously.And then he named the heir to the Neo-France throne 'Bunny'! It's such a-such an American name!" George said.
"And then Chibodee said that we'd have to have three other children so he could name them after his other bodyguards." Marie-Louise giggled hysterically.

Bunny sat on her bed, sketching patterns on her quilt with her finger. She hummed a tune as she thought about her name. It was so-so American! The Princess got up and went to her closet to take out her flute. She never played it enough-the cello was a much nicer instrument. Bunny pulled out her music and placed it neatly on the music stand that she always kept out.
She placed the mouthpiece against her mouth, placed her manicured nails on the flute, and began to play La Marsillaise, the Neo-France national anthem. The high sound of the flute floated through the air. Everyone stopped what they were doing to listen to Bunny's wonderful music.
Suddenly, Bunny's fingers got tired. Her vision started to become blurry. She couldn't see the music in front of her anymore. Or hear the sound of the flute. She vaguely felt something drop from her hands and barely heard it fall onto the carpeted floor. Bunny tried to sit down, her legs were too tired. She couldn't see anything in front of her. Everything was black. She heard a loud thud as she hit the floor, and then lost all consciousness. On her hand was a glowing mark: the Jack of Diamonds mark was shining brightly on her right hand.
So? Do you like it? Do you think it's good? Please review! Next chapter up soon! ~*ShadowTide*~
