I wouldn't so much say this is AU as "canon diversion." I like that phrase better. This is set sometime after the end of the second season but before the movie. Seeing as I don't particularly care for the movie, we won't talk about it except for a vague reference or two.

Disclaimer: I don't own or make profit from any of these characters. A nod of recognitions is best sent to those who came up with the addicting series, and its maddening protagonist.

Chapter 1


Setsuna wasn't entirely sure what to do at this point. He knew what should be done and what could be done but not what was to be done. Namely, how to get himself out of this impromptu shopping trip "planned" by Mileina. He almost never went down to the surface, preferring to stay with the Ptolemaios 2. This time, though, he had drawn the short straw on escorting the girls for a shopping trip.

Very few people knew the true face of Celestial Being's Gundam Meisters, even fewer believed they had ever existed at all. Still, that didn't mean there wasn't danger in this new world of tentative-peace. Something had been sitting just on the edge of the young innovater's awareness for a while now. It disturbed him. He was snapped back to the present when Mileina grabbed his arm, along with Feldt's, and dragged them both to the junior's department.

Feldt protested as she was drug along, still not sure why she had allowed herself to be dragged all the way back to Earth for a shopping trip. She had her Celestial Being uniform and a normal amount of civilian clothes. That was all she needed. Mileina appeared to have different ideas, though.

"Come on!" the younger girl protested, pulling on their arms again. "Feldt, we have to find you something cute!"

Feldt started to protest again but decided against it. Maybe if she played along like a good hostage this would all be over soon enough. She cast an apologetic glance to Setsuna.

"Sorry," she mouthed over Mileina's head.

The meister just arched an eyebrow at her, not saying anything. What would she have to be sorry about? It wasn't her fault he had drawn the short straw and gotten stuck on earth for what amounted to baby-sitting duty. He focused his attention back to the front after a brief moment. Just in time, too. His eyes widened and a small blush flagged his cheeks. The suddenly embarrassed young man stopped short, halting Mileina's progress as well.

"Setsuna!" she whined. "What's wrong?"

Setsuna blinked calmly, regaining control of himself. He looked down at the shorter girl before looking over her shoulder. Just as quickly, he looked back down at her.

"You go on ahead. I'm not going. I'll wait for you in the food court." Before either girl could protest, Setsuna extracted his arm and was gone.

Feldt was confused at this point. What was going on? She looked up to where Mileina had intended on taking her and blushed as well.

"Um, I'm going to go check on Setsuna…" Feldt extracted her arm and dashed after her partner, eager to escape the clutches of the obviously conniving younger girl.

Mileina frowned, lower lip sticking out in a pouting manner. She wasn't sure why Setsuna and Feldt were acting so weird! With a flourished twirl on the ball of her foot, the girl resolutely stalked into the lingerie section of the junior's department. She would find something cute to wear with or without their help.


This is probably going to be a series of oneshots/drabbles updated randomly. It's cute, though, don't ya think? Mwahaha! I, personally, like soldier/non-soldier pairings. Technically, you could say Feldt and Mileina are soldiers for Celestial Being but they never see direct combat. Setsuna frequently does. Anywho, tell me what you think!
