A Walk to Remember: Gundam Style Prologue
It was cold, one September night. The moon was full and stars were out. Duo Maxwell drove his precious black sports car pass the large neon sign with the letters "NO TRESSPASSING" and into the large lot in front of the dock. His friends were already there waiting for him and their guest.
Heero and his former girlfriend Relena made out on the hood of Heero's blue jeep as Solo ran up the approaching vehicle.
Duo pulled over and jumped out, switching off the car, and quickly steadying himself before anyone could notice. His head was spinning from the alcohol he had had at the party he was just at, but he carefully masked it with a smile. He pulled at the leather jacket he was wearing along with a pair of faded blue jeans and red Tommy shirt underneath, and flipped his long chestnut braid over his shoulder before greeting his friends who greeted back with high five's and teasing remarks.
He looked around at the people he called 'friends'. Heero, wearing his usual loose green tank top and tight blue jeans, looked up from his dominating of his girlfriend's mouth, face flushed, his hair ruffled…well…more then usual, and cobalt eyes darkening. Relena, Heero's girlfriend, wore a small pink tank top, short red skirt, and knee-high boots. Her long strawberry-blond hair was smartly tied into a high ponytail, and her blood red lipstick smeared over her mouth was proof to her previous actions. Trowa, the tall silent one stood a little wise behind the rest of the group, his gravity defying hair jutting in front of his face, covering one of his eyes. A long dark blue overcoat covered most of his well-defined body from view. Duo grimaced when he noticed what Trowa was doing… which was pissing on the road… and quickly left his friend to his 'humanly needs'…
On the other side of the jeep was his best friend Solo. Short blond hair neatly combed, leather jacket, white slacks, and tight red muscle shirt fitted his slim body perfectly. His green eyes were flaring. And beside him was… Hilde, his ex… who was passing him failing seductive looks which he carefully avoided.
A moment later a white Safari truck made its way slowly down the road and into a clear spot in-between Heero's jeep and Duo's car. Out popped a short innocent looking blond boy. He looked far different then his punk comrades standing in front of him. His angelic baby blues guiltless instead of filled with mischief or bleary of the eyes of a drunk. He wore a nicely collared light blue dress shirt, a light green addidas jacket over that and wrinkle-less white pants. His smile like an angel's as he greeted his friends politely. They all smirked in return as they all slowly made their way to the dock.
Duo walked along side Quatre and his eyes darkened with trouble, braid swinging behind him.
"Uh…what are we suppose to do again?" Quatre asked as he watched Duo strip of his jacket and shoes.
"Well…you see that tower over there?" Duo pointed to a high rusted tower that looked like it was going to fall any minute and hung over the pond like a diving board. Quatre gulped and nodded.
"We're gonna jump off that!" Duo smiled. Quatre's eyes filled with uneasiness as he stared at the shallow looking murky water. A strong sense of danger and alert filled his senses but he shook it off fiercely. Duo looked at him and asked teasingly,
"What's wrong Quat? You scared?"
"You wanna be one of us? Don't you?" Heero sneered as he hugged his girlfriend close.
"Uh…err…of course…but…" Quatre stammered. "How deep is this exactly?" he squeaked.
Duo looked at his face to his jacket and back again, indicating for him to take it off. Quatre did so before Duo answered his question.
The others were already waiting for them to climb the tower as they stood together on the small wooden dock.
"Don't know, never jumped it before, but I guess we'll find out soon huh?" Duo said casually. Quatre gulped again as they reached the unsteady pole like ladder. When they had reached the top Duo all of a sudden lifted his arms over his head and yelled at the top of his lungs and almost knocked Quatre off the tower. The others cheered in response.
Quatre looked down and his eyes widened. Nobody had told him it was going to be this high! He was afraid heights and his knees all of sudden became weak, like jelly.
"Hey Q! You comin' or not?" Duo shouted to him. He was already at the edge holding onto the railing for support and waved his hand in a coming gesture. Quatre nodded and slowly made his way to the edge.
"On three," Duo murmured. "One, two…" the two backed up a bit preparing to jump. "THREE!!!" Duo yelled this time, but faked the jump as Quatre hurled himself off the side and into the icy coldness of the polluted pond. There was a gigantic splash as Quatre did the mother of all belly flops.
All five of the group laughed at the scene, waiting for the boy to come back up from his performance… but he never came. The group waited a few moments calling for the boy back up as if it was all a joke.
"Oh my God!" "He's probably hurt!" Solo and Hilde screamed.
"Shit!!" Heero shouted.
"I told you we shouldn't of come!"
"Shut up!"
"Oh my God! HELP!!!"
"Duo, what are you waiting for? Go get him!!"
"DUO!!"
Duo slid down the pole they had used as a ladder and dived into the surprisingly shallow pond to the floating lifeless looking body of Quatre. 'Oh my god' he thought as he felt a long cool metallic object sticking out of the mud near the part where Quatre had fallen.
"Hey! There's a bar in here!" he shouted over to his friends.
The two girls stood in shock with their slim hands to their mouths while the boys helped Duo pull Quatre up when suddenly the light of a flashlight peaked over the bushes across from where they were standing and a plump looking police officer stood and shouted,
"Who's there?"
When he saw who they were he pulled out his walky-talky and quickly talked while calling for backup.
//We have trespassers, you'd better send a squad car over here//
Trowa and Relena started for their car while Heero, Solo, and Hilde stayed a little to pull Quatre out of the water. Sirens could be heard from a distance coming closer and closer. When Quatre was safely on the deck Heero and Hilde had disappeared to their cars leaving Duo to tend to Quatre's wounds.
A huge gash graced his forehead and He was bleeding. A dark round ring framed his left eye. His face, painted with blood. Duo hesitated, as the sirens were close enough to deafen ears. When he was sure Quatre was ok he, as well, left.
Duo ran to his car as a police car swiveled into the lot. He got in and cranked the engine speeding off. Another police car had come and the chase had begun. It wasn't long before Duo uncontrollably ran into a barn fence and into a large stack of hay. He tried starting the engine, but it was too late. Both the cop cars had surrounded him… He was caught…
"SHIT!!"
