Gundam Wing - The Story Begins…

This is the story of three regular girls thrown into a world complete with the five guys of Gundam. Could you survive?

1) Meeting

The year is 2000 A.D. The place is some neutral zone in Europe. The school is called the Medora International University for Students with Special Talents and it's currently spring semester. M.I.U. is where college age students from all over the world come to spend the next four years being educated in life and other things. M.I.U. is where students must decide their future and where dreams and goals are made. M.I.U. is where students…

"Par-tay! Party over here! We're usin' Quatre's radio!" Duo Maxwell ran up and down the campus giving high 5's to everyone he saw.

Quatre Raberba Winner, sitting off by himself, covered his face with his hands. "Why me?" he asked.

Meanwhile on the other side of the campus, 18-year-old Cheyenne Weatherstone and her best friend, 18-year-old Kaila Shields, calmly walked up to the school wearing matching school uniforms. Cheyenne's thick shoulder-length hair was the color of sunset-and her eyes were an eye-catching blue-gray, while Kaila's long locks were dark blue-violet and her eyes shown a pretty light brown. Both had beautiful brown skin though Cheyenne's was the color of mahogany while Kaila's was nutmeg.

"I know this school is supposed to be the chance of a lifetime and that only the gifted are chosen to come here, but," Kaila sighed and looked at her school uniform: it was a white blouse with a red bow around the collar and a red vest over that, then a blue skirt, gray knee socks and black heels. "These colors do nothing for me," she finished.

Cheyenne rolled her eyes good-naturedly at her friend and smiled. "You've got to take the bad with the good, I guess," she laughed.

Kaila smirked and held her school folder behind her head, squinting one eye shut as she looked around her. "At least the scenery is nice," she murmured.

"I take it you're not referring to the natural beauty around us, eh?" Cheyenne grinned.

"Nope," Kaila agreed, looking around at the various young men walking the campus. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the song Rhythm Generation began to play. "Where's that music coming from?" she asked, looking around.

Cheyenne looked around too and saw a cute blonde guy with a baby face playing the music on his radio. Several kids surrounded him dancing to the song. "It must be him over there," she told her, "the blonde."

"Ooh, c'mon! Let's join the party!" Kaila ran off toward the dancing kids.

Cheyenne raced after her. "Hey, wait up!" she called, but Kaila as usual had heard music and was off and running. For a moment, Cheyenne lost track of her friend and then someone suddenly appeared in front of her and knocked her off her feet. "Oof!" she grunted as her school folder went flying and she landed flat on her rear.

"Oh, excuse me," a soft voice said. Cheyenne looked up and found she was looking in eyes a pretty shade of green. "Are you okay?" the guy asked, holding out his hand to help her up.

"Oh…um…I'm all right," she told him as she leapt up from the ground herself. "I'm okay, see?"

The boy's serious face softened a little as he handed Cheyenne her folder. "Good. Here's your folder, then." He abruptly walked off towards the school.

Cheyenne watched him for a couple minutes with her heart fluttering and then she grinned like a fool. "He's sooooo cute!" she screamed, throwing her folder up in the air and jumping up as well. "I totally think he likes me!" Several students passing by assumed that she was crazy.

"Hey! Woman!" Cheyenne turned around slowly to face a Chinese guy with his hair slicked straight back into a short ponytail. He was holding her folder in his hand. "Next time pay attention to where you throw things, huh!" he snapped, throwing the folder back at her.

Cheyenne caught it instinctively and glared at his disappearing figure. "Geez, what's his problem?"

Kaila came up behind her suddenly and tugged at her hand, pulling her along. "C'mon girl, we're gonna be late for our first class," she said. "You shouldn't have missed that little party, though. It was fun!"

Cheyenne only smiled.

"Uh oh, what are you so smiley about, huh?" Kaila wanted to know.

"Kaila, I just met the cutest guy! He helped me up off the ground and-"

"Off the ground?"

"Don't ask," Cheyenne shrugged. "Anyway, he has the greatest hair! It's all spiky and sexy!" she bubbled happily.

Kaila raised an eyebrow and looked around. "You mean him?" she asked, pointing in the direction of the Chinese guy who was still walking off.

Cheyenne looked up in the same direction and saw the brown haired guy leaning against a wall instead. "Yeah, yeah! Him! You should see his eyes! They're beautiful!"

"Um, if you say so," Kaila shrugged, unimpressed. "Now come on already. I have no idea where my first class is, do you?"

"Ummm, eh?" Cheyenne shrugged.

Kaila sweat-dropped and pulled her friend along.

"I met the funniest guy in my class today, Shy. You should see his hair, too, it's in this looong braid. I actually thought he was a girl at first, but anyway, he's hilarious. He kinda reminds me of you and…yo, Shy, are you listening to me?" Kaila asked as she and Cheyenne stood in the café lunch line around two in the afternoon.

"Mm?" Cheyenne asked, searching the café for any sign of the cute guy with the spiky hair.

Kaila sighed and shook her head. "Never mind…" She grabbed her lunch tray and glanced around the room for a place to sit, finally spotting the Chinese guy at a table with some other guys. "Hey Shy, isn't that the guy you have a crush on?" she asked.

Cheyenne got her tray and looked in the direction that Kaila was talking about. All of sudden, the White Reflection song began to play somewhere in the background and Cheyenne saw that the blonde guy from before was at the table WITH the spiky brown haired guy! "Yes, yes! That's him!" she giggled happily.

"Hmm…" Kaila's eyes gazed expertly at the table. "All of them are cute, too. It's true what they say, cute guys travel in packs," she told her. Cheyenne nodded wisely and Kaila began to walk towards them. "Well, let's go sit with them, then," Kaila added.

Cheyenne's eyes widened. "Are you crazy? I can't sit with him! I…I wouldn't know what to say! I-I-"

"I'm gooooing," Kaila laughed, assuming that Cheyenne would trail along behind her. Cheyenne only heaved a large sigh.

Kaila walked up to the table just as the song ended. "Good, now y'all can hear me," she told them. All five guys looked up at her in surprise.

"Who are you?" the blonde one wanted to know.

"My name's Kaila. Me and my friend were wondering if we could sit with you guys, today."

"Why would you sit here when there are so many other tables that are empty?" the Chinese guy asked.

Kaila narrowed her eyes at him. 'This is the one Cheyenne's so ga-ga about? His eyes don't seem to be any particularly pretty shade to me. They just look black.'

"Why are you staring at me like that?" the Chinese guy snapped.

Kaila rolled her eyes. "Don't go feeling all special, okay?" She turned to the braided guy. "You're Duo…right?"

"Yeah," Duo answered between bites of his food. "I remember you, Kaila. Come on and sit by me."

"Thanks," Kaila grinned and sat down.

The blonde one introduced everybody. "I'm Quatre, and this is Wufei. And that's Trowa and Heero," he explained. Kaila studied all of the guys in turn. Quatre was cute in a baby face way and had blonde hair, big blue-green eyes and looked like a basic prep. The Chinese guy, Wufei, was also pretty cute but his attitude already got on her nerves. Duo was friendly-looking with his gorgeous long brown hair brushed to a sheen in that outrageously long braid of his. Trowa was attractive in a quiet, serious way but his spiky hair scared her a little bit. She wondered if he could poke an eye out with it.

Then her gaze rested on Heero as he ate stew with one hand and typed into a laptop with the other. She studied the dark brown hair in its wild style and the cute serious expression on his face and decided that he was the one she wanted for this year.

"Hey, you're Heero, right?" Kaila asked.

He didn't even look up from his laptop. "Yeah. What do you want?" he asked.

She wasn't prepared for his indifferent attitude and shook her head. "Um, never mind," she told him. 'Hmm, this one might be a challenge.' She looked at Wufei again and suddenly remembered Cheyenne. "Oh, and this is my friend…uh…" She looked around, confused. "Hey, where'd she go?"

"There was never anyone else with you," Trowa told her, eating his pizza slowly.

"Oh…" Kaila's cheeks turned hot. 'Darn you, Cheyenne Weatherstone. Why are you so shy around cute guys? And how could you leave me hanging with this crowd?'

Meanwhile at the table across from Kaila and the guys, Cheyenne had slipped indiscreetly into a table full of friendly looking kids. The only problem was they were all speaking Japanese. After a couple of minutes, one of the girls at the table turned to her.

"Umm, are you lost?" she asked curiously.

Cheyenne nervously looked up from her food. "Oh! No! No-no-no-no! I meant to sit here. I wanted to…err…expand my horizons and meet new friends," she told the girl. Everyone at the table stopped talking and both Cheyenne and the girl sweat-dropped.

"Um, my name is Yumi…" the girl said after an awkward moment.

Cheyenne sighed gratefully. "Oh, mine's Cheyenne and I uh, I really did mean to sit here!" she tried to convince the others who just laughed and returned to their meals. "Um, I even know a little Japanese! Um…kawaii (cute)…uh…baka (stupid)." A couple of the kids raised their eyebrows at that. "Um…sayonara (good-bye)…uhhh…hentai (porn)…" Immediately the table broke out into laughter and one guy grinned at her eagerly. Cheyenne laughed too, proud of herself. 'Awesome, I must have said something really funny!'

"Your friend's a regular riot," Duo commented to Kaila as they ate. "She's got that whole table cracking up."

"I just hope she isn't making a fool of herself," Kaila mumbled.

"Hmn?" Quatre asked.

Kaila looked up quickly and waved her hands in front of her. "I said, "I hope you all get to meet her, she's a really sweet person"," she amended.

"Sort of clumsy, but sweet all the same, I guess," Trowa commented.

Kaila raised an eyebrow, wondering how he could possibly have known that…

(Hmm…talk about your major mix-up…)
