Friends Never Say Goodbye
A Gundam Wing Video Clip

Disclaimer:
I don't own any of this so please don't sue me. The song is 'Friends Never Say
Goodbye' from the 'Road to El Dorado' soundtrack. There is a major spoiler in
here if you hadn't seen the last couple TV episodes!! Don't say I didn't warn
you. ^_^
[There isn't
much I haven't shared
With you
along the road
And through
it all, there'd always be
Tomorrow's
episode]
Hiro is busy typing
at his laptop as always. Suddenly Duo bursts in the room, smiling and
chattering incessantly. Hiro glares at him, then goes back to work. The braided
pilot shrugs it off and plops down on his bed and starts to read one of his
battered manga.
[Suddenly, that isn't true
There's another avenue
Beckoning, the great divide
Ask no questions, take no side]
The war is
finally over. Both Treize Kushrenada and Milliardo Peacecraft are dead, killed
in the final battle. At one of Quatre's earth homes, Hiro is packing his
things, what little he has. Duo comes in demanding what he's doing. Hiro tells
him he is leaving since the gundams are no longer needed. Duo for once doesn't
know what to say and just stares at him.
[Who's to say who's right or wrong
Whose course is braver run?
Still we are, have always been, will ever be as one]
Quatre comes and
joins them now and places a hand on Duo's shoulder in hope of comforting him.
To their surprise Hiro thanks them for being his friends and leaves. Quatre
sadly lets him go, but not before reminding him to keep in touch. Tears start
to fall from the Shinigami pilot's eyes.
[What's done has been done for the best
Though the mist in my eyes might suggest
Just a little confusion about what I'll lose]
Hiro stands
outside the mansion and turns to take one last look. Quatre is waving goodbye
from an upstairs window with Duo. He gives a quick wave back and walks toward
the garage where Wing Zero is kept. He wipes away a tear and stares at it
confused.
[But if I started over, I know I would choose
The same joy, the same sadness each step of the way
That fought me and taught me that friends never say]
Hiro is in space,
using Zero's guidance system to find a place to stash his Gundam. Suddenly
Duo's laughing face appears before him. He shakes his head to clear it only to
have Quatre's sad face replace it. He shoves the thoughts of his friends away
and settles on a destination.
[Never say goodbye]
Hiro decides to
send the others an email. It reads: I'm sorry to leave so soon, but there is no
place on earth for someone like me. Thank you all for being my friends I shall
miss you. Ever your friend - Hiro Yui. Two tears fall on Quatre's computer as
he reads the message.
[Suddenly, that isn't true
There's another avenue
Beckoning, the great divide]
Hiro is working
at a garage on one of the colonies as a mechanic. Duo, still on Earth, tries to
pay attention in class as he daydreams about Hiro. Quatre is next to him and
notices his friend's blank expression. Trowa, meanwhile, is feeding the circus animals
with Catherine while Wufei is reading a book in a library somewhere.
[I would choose
The same joy, the same sadness each step of the way
That fought me and taught me that friends never say]
Hiro hands in his
resignation and sighs as he goes off into space with Zero. Determination sets
on his face as he punches in a course for Earth. 'Ninmu ryoukai,' he says
entering the last of the coordinates.
[Never say goodbye]
A knock on his dorm
door shocks Duo out of his reverie. The Shinigami pilot opens the door to see
Hiro outside wearing the same school uniform as he is. A suitcase is in his
hand. Duo pulls the Wing pilot in and slams the door shut. Before Hiro can say
anything, he finds himself in a bear hug. He smiles a true smile for once and
says, 'I missed you,' the only
explanation needed. Duo starts to speak, but Hiro quickly shuts him up by
kissing him.
