Wufei ran through a lone corridor in a secluded OZ base. He had luckily been able to get the new data for the Virgo Dolls. It had taken him the better part of three hours to get it. The new suits were much more powerful than the earlier versions. Just then he ran into a Chinese girl with her hair pinned into flawless buns. I::It looks so much like her... No. She's dead, focus on your mission.::/I He kept running, leaving the woman on the ground. He didn't notice when half of the OZ soldier chasing him descended upon the woman. It was only a few more minutes of running before he reached his car and let his thoughts wander. I::She looked so much like Mei Li…::/Ip

blockquote****FLASHBACK****p

On the L5 colony, a shuttle sat on a lawn in front of a dojo. Several figures milled about the shuttle. A small Chinese girl, half her hair pulled sloppily into two buns stood next to a slightly older boy with glasses.p

"Wufei! I don't want you to go!!" the girl sniffled, holding back tears.p

"But I must, Mei Li." The boy responded.p

"But what if I'm betrothed while you're gone? What if they make me marry Hiromi while you're gone??!" the girl cried desperately.p

He chuckled. "Do not worry, Mei Li, I know you will be a good wife and do your duty." He turned and walked towards the waiting shuttle doors. As they closed he heard her whisper softly.p

"I hope I marry you, Fei-chan."p

Turning back to the window, he was only able to get a last glimpse as the tears spilled down her cheeks.br

"Mei Li..." Wufei whispered sadly. I::That was the last time I saw you before…::/I He pulled the car to the side of the road as his vision blurred. He hastily brushed the offending wetness from his eyes. I::Don't be so weak!!::/i He chastised himself before setting out on the road again.
