Anyway I guess I should explain this fic…..
1) This is kind of a self insertion type of fic, but I don't really like to think myself as the Jan-chan in the story. But she pretty much is like meeeee!!!! 'Kay!!!
2) You can think that the Li Raeth in this story is another anime character also if you want, but she is yeah is actually much like the author here in fanfiction.net and my best buddy!!!
3) This doesn't take place in any part of the series----I don't think--, So I guess you could say I'm making this whole story from scratch. In other wise it's my own series if you think about it.
Well I think that's it for now…
Don't forget to review!!!
(No flames….cause this is my first ever Gundam Wing fic ^.^; )

~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~ Chapter 1: BeginningIt was a late afternoon in the Space Colony L5, as two young girls walked down a dark alley.
"Why do I have to go on this thing?" The girl with the long brown braid complained.
The other girl, a year older than her, turned and glared at her.
"I'm not going to suffer alone. Besides I need the money."
The girl with the braid stopped and crossed her arms angrily.
"Oh! That's nice to know, Li-chan! I'm probably not even old enough, I am fifteen you know." She exclaimed.
Li just looked at her and sighed heavily.
"Jan-chan, Don't be stubborn."
"I'm not!" Came the reply. "What kind of dumb job are we applying for anyway?"
Li dug in her jean's pocket and pulled a small folded paper. She looked over it and studied it.
"Ummm… It doesn't say. All it says is that it pays good money, but don't worry. I'm sure it's a safe job."
The braided girl frowned.
"Oh suuurreeee….and who just gave you this flyer?"
Li thought it over.
"A lady did…in the mall…"
"Ha!!! Yeah!!! Sure it's safe…we'll probably end up dead!" The braided girl said with a stomp.
"Nothing is going to happen to us Jan-chan. I'll make sure of it!"
Jan just looked at the littered ground. A tug on her braid broke her stare and held it protectively in her hands. She sent a glare at Li, who simply ignored it.
"We're going to be late!" Li exclaimed looking at her watch.
She ran ahead of Jan and turned the corner.
"Hey!!! Wait!!!" Jan-chan shouted as she ran to catch up.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
The two girls found themselves in fron of the normal office building in the middle of the small city. Li looked at her watch and ran to the dark tinted glass doors.
"Come on!" She told the braided girl far behind her.
Inside a woman with glasses sat at her rather large desk, typing on the computer. Li stepped up to the desk and laid the piece of paper on it.
"We're here to apply for a job." Li said breathlessly.
The woman looked up from the screen.
"We're Miss?" She said puzzled.
Li looked behind her shoulder and saw the braided Jan-chan hiding behind her. She quickly pulled the braided girl in front of her, before she could get away.
"Yes, we're here to apply for a job." Li said holding the wriggling Jan-chan firmly.
The woman smiled and moved a strand of long hair from her face. She picked up a black phone, pushed a few buttons, and spoke into it.
"Sir, this is Sally Po. Yes…two young ladies are here to apply."
She paused, and then put the phone in its cradle.
"He will see you now." She gestured to the door behind her.
The two girls looked in surprise.
"I was expecting to sign a bunch of papers." Jan-chan whispered into Li's ear, which then nodded. The woman, Sally Po, stood and opened the door signaling to follow her.
Li quickly followed with Jan-chan quickly following behind her. On the other side of the door, was a busy office room. People walked back and forth, passing papers to one another. Some were in cubicles, and others were busy copying stacks of papers. Jan-chan stopped and curiously looked around. She peeked over a man's shoulder at the forms he was copying. A sharp pull on her braid pulled her away.
"Owwww…. Let go Li-chan." She complained as she was being dragged along.
"No. You're not going to bug people when they're working." Li said sternly.
They finally came to a door in the corner of the large maze of an office building. Li released Jan's braid and proceeded to adjust her blue jeans, black shirt, and semi-long brown hair. Jan-chan, in seeing this, fixed her black bow at the end of her braid, black tank top, and gray plaid skirt.
The woman smiled and leaned towards the nervous girls.
"Don't worry. He's not to picky." She whispered reassuringly.
They all exchanged a friendly smile.
"Hey aren't you the lady who gave me that flyer?" Li asked noticing the woman's thin face.
"Yes, in a matter of fact, I am. Now, are you ready?"
The two girls nodded nervously.
The woman opened the door for the girls.
"Here are the two young ladies, sir." She announced.
Li, as usual, walked in first with Jan-chan closely hidden behind her. The door closed quickly behind them, which made the braided girl jump and squeal. Li looked behind her, only to see an embarrassed Jan-chan covering her mouth. A short, old, large man stood in front of them, his white doctor's coat back facing the two girls.
"Please take a seat."
Li and Jan-chan both sat quickly in the waiting chairs in front of his desk. The man turned and sat in a chair that seemed too large for even his size. He studied both the girls through thick odd shaped glasses, giving him the mad scientist kind of look. Li stared back, while Jan-chan just played with her braid nervously.
After a few minutes of silence and studying, the man sat back in his chair, raising a claw like hand. Li swallowed uncomfortably.
"I see you want to apply for this job. Am I correct?"
"Y..yes, sir." Li said with a tinge of fear.
The man turned and looked at the girl with the long braid who didn't answer, obviously to busy playing with her braid.
"And what about you Miss?"
Jan-chan just continued to play nervously with her braid.
"Jan-chan!" Li hissed quietly.
The shy girl stopped playing with her hair and rested her hands neatly on her lap.
"Th…that is correct sir." She said in a small quiet voice.
"Could you repeat that?"
"I said that is correct sir." She said a little louder while her eyes stared at the plaid markings of her skirt.
The man acted to strain to hear the little voice.
"I'm not sure I heard you. Could you repeat that once more time?"
Dark brown eyes looked up from their gaze on the skirt, and shut tightly in anger.
"I said THAT IS CORRECT SIR!!! – Ah!" Her brown eyes widened in fear, noticing just how strange this man looked.
Her eyes fell upon the claw hand and her mouth dropped as she pointed to the claw and the stranger's hand.
"He…it…he…it.." She stuttered in fear.
Li looked in shock at the girl next to her, sure she herself had saw the claw and gotten suspicious, but was she trying to get them kicked out of this place?! At least she had kept it to herself, but Jan-chan just had to point and stare. The large man, on the other hand, just chuckled amused.
"You remind me of someone I know." He said, still chuckling.
The braided girl just continued to point and stare.
"Uh…She's usually not like this, sir!" Li tried to cover. "I'm sorry if she offended you!"
The man just smiled.
"There is no need to cover up what is actually obvious Miss."
The man then leaned over his desk in the terrified braided girl's direction. Quickly she moved closer in her chair as to get away from what she thought as "a mad scientist".
"I'm sorry Miss, there is no need for you to be scared of an old man with a claw for a hand. Nor do you have to be shy with me or anyone here. Besides I had heard you the first time, but was just joking after that. My apologies." He said in a low tone.
Jan-chan looked at the man and at the lollypop that was suddenly held in front of her, but noticed it was in the clutches of the cursed claw. She shrugged and quickly grabbed it in her small hands and held it tightly.
"Okay!!!" She said in her usual perky tone.
The large man relaxed and leaned back in his chair once more.
"That's better!" He said happily.
The lollypop's rapper was quickly torn off and shoved into the waiting mouth of the girl. Li's mouth nearly dropped. She was bribed by candy?! And since when did she take candy from a complete stranger?!
'I'm not going to be the one who takes her to the emergency room for food poisoning! It's her own fault!' Li thought angrily, and frowned.
The braided girl looked at the small nameplate on the desk, noticing the shine in the light.
"Oh so your name is Dr. J!! Nice to meet you Dr. J!! This is my grumpy friend, Li-chan, and I am Jan-chan!!" The braided girl exclaimed with a mouth full of red lollypop.
Li sent a dangerous glare, while the Dr. J burst out laughing.
"Was it something I said?" Jan-chan said looking at the two people.
Li sighed heavily.
'She is going to make us lose these jobs with that big mouth of hers!'
After the large doctor finally stopped laughing, his face turned to that of a serious mood.
"Now I have a few questions to ask."
The two girls looked at each other, then turned their attention to the door opening behind them.
The door had been abruptly opened, and a young boy with wild brown hair stepped through.
"Sir, I am here to report about our-" He noticed the two girls staring at him.
"Who are these girls?" He said with an icy tone.
One of them, the one with the long braid, smiled and waved a friendly hand at him. The other continued to stare untrustingly at the mysterious boy.
"So soon Heero? Well, that is what I expect from the Perfect Soldier. These girls are here to apply for a job."
The two girls turned simultaneously.
"Perfect Soldier?!"
The heavy doctor laughed once again.
"We're not going to be soldiers or medics are we?!" Li exclaimed.
"Yeah! I don't know anything about flying spaceships or shooting guns." Jan-chan said while making her hand in a gunshape and aiming it at everyone, and shooting an imaginary bullet at Heero. "Bang! Besides I can't stand the sight of blood! It's just icky!! Seeing my own makes me want to faint!!!"
"Don't worry! We could train you Jan! Li Raeth also!"
Jan paused.
"How did you know Li's whole name?"
Dr. J looked at the girls then sighed.
"We did some background information checks on both you two, as soon as you stepped through our doors."
"Okay!!" Jan-chan said, believing anything that was told to her.
Li sat with her arms crossed. She didn't really trust this Dr. J after all. How could he do a background check without knowing their names? It was not possible since they had never met ever before.
"So what is this job anyway?" Li said turning her brown eyes to Heero.
The boy had moved to the corner of the room and was leaning against the wall with arms crossed. His Prussian blue eyes stared coldy at the two visitors. Dr. J thought a moment.
"Let's just say that this is an exciting job, and you may even get to save the colonies and the Earth Sphere."
A quiet smirk came from the corner of the room that no one noticed.
Jan-chan's eyes widened at the news, nearly dropping the lollypop onto the ground.
"Really! That's great! I want to apply for this job! Right Li-chan?!"
The older girl just sat quietly.
"I don't know Jan-chan. Sounds risky… Plus aren't you getting a little too excited about this? Besides, I never said we were getting these jobs."
The braided girl pouted.
"Come on Li-chan! It will be fun!!!"
Li reached out and pulled the girl's braid, causing her to screech loudly.
Heero looked up from his gaze on the floor.
"Owwwww!! Don't do that!!!"
"I could if I want to! And I don't have to apply for this job either!" Li said smugly.
"You have to apply!"
"Do not!"
The two young girls stood saying their "You have to", "Do not" fight. The doctor just sighed.
"Heero, do you believe you could train these two to be one of the finest? We will need them soon for a particular "errand" if you call it."
"I don't think that is a wise choice." Cold eyes glanced at the bickering girls.
The doctor's eyebrow rose in question.
"What was that Heero?"
"Sure. Whatever you say." Came the annoyed monotonic reply.
"Fine! This will be your next major mission: Training these girls, Jan-chan and Li Raeth."
Both girls looked at the doctor.
"So we're hired?" Jan-chan asked with glittering eyes.
"Of course!" Dr. J said happily.
The braided girl jumped in the air.
"Yay!!! We're Hired!! My first job to screw up!!!" Jan-chan chanted.
"Hold it!" Li exclaimed. "I never said I was going to want this job."
"Yes you did Li!" The braided girl snuck behind her. "You said, 'I need the money."
Li sent another dangerous glare at her annoying friend.
"Are you saying you do not want this job Miss Li?" Dr. J asked.
Li looked at the braided girl next to her. She was too young to get this job by herself.
"Fine. But I'm only doing this for Jan-chan."
Li felt crushing arms around her.
"Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!!" Jan-chan exclaimed with a mouthful of lollypop.
"Now that that is settled, Heero these two young ladies will stay with you at Quatre's."
Both girls looked at the doctor in the chair.
"Is…this Quatre a girl?" The braided girl asked, afraid of the answer that would follow.
Dr. J slowly shook his head.
"We're staying with guys?!"
The doctor chuckled slightly.
"Oh, don't worry. You will have your own rooms."
Both girls sighed in relief.
Jan-chan looked innocently at the doctor.
"What about our families?" She said with a pout.
"We have already talked to them. Don't worry we got everything under control. You best be off then, it is a rather long drive."
"How can we get there, we can't even drive?!" Li said, once again untrustingly.
"He looks like a statue right now, but I bet he can drive." She said poking the stoic boy and giggling at the no reaction.
"Good concluding Jan!" Dr. J said pleased.
"And just how did you know that?!" Li said with arms crossed.
Jan-chan looked at everyone in the room, her lollypop still in her mouth.
"Well it seems to me that everyone here is older than me. Plus look at him!" She pointed to stoic boy. "See those muscles? He must be strong!" She then poked Heero's bicep.
Heero sent a warning glare.
"And why would they call him the Perfect Soldier if he couldn't even drive? I bet he also has a gun with him!" The braided girl poked the loose green tank top.
"I'll kill you." Heero whispered coldly, glaring at the annoying braided girl.
Jan-chan squealed and hid behind Li. A small beeping filled the air. Li looked at her beeping watch on her wrist.
"Oh my gosh! It's almost eleven o' clock at night! I didn't even notice how long we have been here." Li said looking at the digits.
"Then you best be off." Dr. J smiled.
"Okay Dr. J!" Jan-chan said with a yawn. She then threw her lollypop stick in a nearby trashcan.
The two girls walked slowly out of the small office room where they waited. Dr. J signaled for the Perfect Soldier to approach him. He then whispered something into Heero's ear, which then nodded. After that, the Prussian eyed boy left the office and met with the two waiting girls. He quickly led them through a maze of tunnels and bridges till they came to a keypad door.
Before Heero could punch in the code; a long, brown braid blocked him.
"I can figure this out!" Jan-can said, punching the buttons rapidly. A robotic voice announced the password being incorrect.
"You fool!" Heero exclaimed as he pushed the girls aside.
Two robotic guns detached from the metal ceiling, aiming at the so-called "intruders". The Perfect Soldier pulled his gun out of his subspace pocket and fired at the two guns. Both were hit dead center, causing them to explode in small fireballs. The automatic sprinklers quickly dowsed the spreading flames. Heero turned and glared an icy glare at the young braided girl who had caused so much trouble. All three were soaking wet because of the sprinklers. She guiltily hid behind Li on the floor. The boy put his gun away and approached the two girls.
"Don't touch anything." He said coldly at the troublemaker.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Sally Po ran into the office, looking distressed.
"Sir! There has been an explosion in sector B17! The two automatic security guns have been destroyed! Possibly by an incorrect password or intruders! It could be OZ up to their mischief again!"
The doctor could only smile at the thought.
"Uh…Sir, what shall we do?" She said, puzzled.
"Nothing."
Sally's eyes widened at the unexpected answer. OZ could be trying to enter their base and all he could do was smile?!
"What do you mean, Sir?! It's probably OZ!"
"No, no. Knowing that braided girl, she is most likely the reason for this. Get some mechanics down their to replace those."
Sally Po nodded in understanding; that girl was a troublemaker from the first look of her.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Li, once on her feet, offered a wet hand at Jan-chan who refused. The wet braided girl got up and squeezed her braid free of water as much as possible. Heero punched the code, which opened the door to a dimly lit garage. He walked through, not even looking back at the water soaked girls. His wild brown hair, now wet, covered most of his face. Li quickly followed, and looked back at the sulking Jan-chan. She was following the two ever so slowly, her tear filled eyes staring at the pavement floor. Her brown haired friend gently put a hand on Jan's shoulder.
"It's okay." She comforted. "It was an accident, but I have to agree with this Heero guy. Don't touch anything."
Heero, himself, made his way to a black jeep waiting for them. Once he opened it, he pulled three small towels from the back seat. One was thrown at the brown-eyed Li, which she gladly caught. The other was thrown at the braided girl, Jan-chan, which hit her hard on the face. Clumsily she stumbled backwards from the force. Li looked sympathetically at her braided friend, then turned to Heero and glared. The Perfect Soldier simply ignored her and continued to dry himself in silence.
When they were mostly dry, Heero hopped into the driver's seat. Li helped Jan-chan to the back seat, and then helped herself to the front passenger seat. She sat quietly remembering something. Normally Jan-chan would cry out shotgun and wrestle her way to the front seat, but she was abnormally quiet. Li frowned at the unusual silence.
'Guess that must have scared Jan-chan….'
Something was not right. The only thing that filled the night air was the low hum of the jeep's engine as they took off.
Next on Gundam Wing: A New Destiny ---- All is quiet as the group makes it's way towards Quatre's house. As Li tries to get to know the mysterious Heero, they are attacked by non other than a mobile suit!!! Will they make it safely to Quatre's or will the group be fried to a crisp thanks to the mobile doll! Stay tuned to find out!
