A/N: This is my first fan fic, so please review a lot so I can get better. As you know, I don't own Duo or any other Gundam Wing characters. I do, however, own Tori and some of the places they go. Enjoy!
187 AC (After Colony)
On Colony V-08744 in the L2 Colony Cluster
A group of boys that live on the streets is patrolling the back alleys when they come across three older boys bullying a small girl. They've back the crying child into a corner, creating a semi-circle of menace to fence her in. They're shouting something at her as she clutches a raggedy stuffed rabbit to her small chest. As she shakes her head screaming "no" over and over, her blonde curls flail furiously around her face.
Finally, one of the bullies lashes out to snatch the rabbit out of the little girl's hands. As she lunges after the bunny, another of the bullies slaps her to the harsh stone wall before she slips to the ground, fearfully clutching her knees to her chest.
The street gang boys have seen enough and quickly descend on the scene. The oldest boy, who seems to be the leader of this group, begins the attack by rushing at the largest bully of the group, followed by his comrades.
A brown haired boy with startling blue eyes jumps at the bully holding the stuffed rabbit hostage and immediately takes him to the ground, easily wrestling the animal away. After only a few moments, the rabbit is in custody of the blue-eyed boy. He stands, tossing his messy braid over his shoulder. He walks towards the abused girl through the rapidly ending fray. When he reaches her, the fight is finally over and the bullies have run off. The other boys watch on as he gently lays his hand on the terrified girl's shoulder. After a slight flinch, she looks up at the boy, her gray eyes clouding with unshed tears. When he hands over the rabbit she automatically clutches it to her heart before collapsing from exhaustion to the boy's lap.
