I don't own anything of Gundam Wing, unfortunately. Also, this is my first fan fiction, I hope to add on chapters, but I want to know if anyone's interested first.



CHAPTER 1 - DREAMS

Laughter, she was sure of it, but where was it coming from? Looking around, she spotted some friends of hers, Alex and Yvette. She walked towards them, a smile growing on her face. Then, just as they had appeared, they had gone. She was alone in a dark, seemingly endless room. Suddenly, as if she had been teleported, she was standing in an older fashioned colony, L2. But why? Why did this place seem so familiar? The streets, buildings, even people. "Duo!" someone called. She looked around, even though that wasn't her name, but it sounded so familiar. She turned around when she spotted Hilde far off waiving to her. "Come on Duo!" Hilde called. Why was Hilde calling her that? Or was she gesturing to someone else? She started to breakout into a run, run towards the only person she recognized. Then, Hilde turned and started to run the opposite way, giggling like it was a game. No matter how fast she ran; she couldn't keep up. Hilde soon disappeared into fog. What, fog now? Where was it coming from? It seemed as if it was engulfing the whole city. She froze instantly, not knowing what to do. Her gaze turned to the sky, or what was left of it. Suddenly there was a shower of gunfire. She could hear screaming of people caught in the blast. The sight was horrible as she watched people died around her, blood everywhere. Just like before, the scenery changed around her. She found herself inside a mobile suit under fire, watching the colony being destroyed right in front of her eyes..

"NO!" she screamed as she woke up sitting in bed. Breathing hard and shivering from cool sweat, she tried to calm down. Her sheets were wrapped around her tightly, showing she had twisted and turned many times. A middle-aged man with long bangs covering one of his eyes, rushed in to see what the racket was about. He hurried over to her and tried to calm the shivering body. His sister, around his age, followed over to her. "Are you alright?" she said to Ash. "It's alright, your safe." the man whispered into her ear trying to calm her. Ash sat there in Trowa's arms, trying to calm her nerves. *It was a dream?* she thought *but it seemed so real.* "What happened? Was it another nightmare?" Catherin asked. Not being able to speak yet, Ash just simply nodded. "You've been having many of those, haven't you?" The young girl nodded again. There was a small silence. "I think we should talk to Wufie about this" the quiet man said, breaking the silence. "I think your right" Catherin said, "why don't you get a shower and we'll go visit him, okay Ash?" Slowly opening her lips for the first time since her scream, she managed to whisper the word "Yes." Trowa nodded towards Catherin, who went to go get the shower started. "If you need me, I'll be downstairs" Trowa said quietly, got up and started to walk towards the door. "Thank you Trowa" Ash said barely above a whisper, still staring at her sheets. Trowa stopped and turned around, smiled, which he hadn't done in a long time, then went downstairs. "Okay, it's ready," said Catherin as she came through the door, "go on ahead. Breakfast will be waiting on the table. See you downstairs."

Ash made her way towards the bathroom, clean clothes to change into in her hands. *Why are these things happening? Why was Hilde there?* Hilde took care of her when she was young, but died from illness. She rounded the corner and went inside the bathroom; it was already starting to steam up. "Ah!" She froze thinking it was fog, like her dream. "Oh, okay, just the shower.." She closed the door, got undressed and stepped into the warm water. It felt good on her skin as she tried to warm up. Still she thought about the dream, *what does it mean? Why do we have to go to Wufie's? And who was Duo really? And why was she called by that name?*

When she was done, she got out of the shower and put her clean clothes on, then made her way downstairs. She patted her old cat that was sleeping on one of the steps. The cat yawned; then looked at Ash with half closed eyes. This made her giggle for the first time that morning, "you silly cat. Are you going down to breakfast with me?" The cat reluctantly got up and followed the girl downstairs. She walked over to the glass table where a plate of pancakes, eggs, and hashbrowns where waiting. "Yum, my favorite" Ash said sitting down in the chair. "Hurry and eat, we're going to go see Wufie at 8:00, it already 7:00. Trowa already called and asked." Catherin said as she went to sit with Ash. She bent down to pet the cat that was rubbing against the leg of her chair. "Where's Trowa now?" said Ash through a mouthful of pancake. Catherin giggled as she watched Ash, "um. he went into his office. He said he wanted to talk to you when we got to Wufie's house." "Alright," said Ash. She finished up her breakfast and went upstairs to get her bag. Then made her way downstairs, and out to the car where Catherin and Trowa were waiting. She climbed into the backseat, closed the door and put her seatbelt on. Soon they were off to go talk to her uncle, Wufie..
