Gundam Wing: Reunion

By: Ashley N. Lawton

Prologue

"So, this is your daughter?" said a young man, who appeared to be early to mid-20's.

He had ginger colored hair and intense looking blue eyes with unusual looking eyebrows. He was quite handsome and aristocratic looking with the dressy red jacket and yellow shoulder tassels, perfectly tailored white trousers and tall, shiny, black boots, and white gloves on his hands.

A youthful looking man in his late 30's to early 40's stood by a young girl about 12 years old before the aristocratic young man.

The older man smiled and put a hand on his daughter's shoulder. "Yes. Yes, sir, Treize. This is my daughter, Ashily."

The ginger haired man gave a small bow and walked up to the girl, giving her a closer look. He smiled.

"My name is Treize Khushrenada.Such a pleasure to finally meet the General's daughter." He said charmingly.

He's like a prince from a fairy tale. Ashily mused.

"I-it's a pl-pleasure to m-meet you, Mr. Khushrenada!" Ashily stammered nervously.

Treize closed his eyes as he gave the girl a pleasant smile. He opened his eyes and raised a hand. "Please, Ashily. Call me Treize."

Ashily smiled brightly, aquamarine eyes shining. "Ok, Treize!" she grinned. "But you have to call me Ashi! Everyone calls me Ashi."

Treize chuckled and ruffled the girl's auburn hair. "Such an engaging child you have, Drake."

Drake laughed and squeezed his daughter's shoulder. "Yes, she is. She has her mother's charisma."

Treize cocked his head, observing the girl. "You have the look of a potential leader, Ashi Perkins. Who knows? Maybe some day you'll take your father's place as General should he retire or resign."

Ashi giggled. "I…I don't know about that. I'm really not interested in joining in the military. But…if need should arrive, if something were to happen to my father. I will gladly take his place as General…but only if it's really needed."

Not only engaging, but intelligent as well! Treize thought.

He nodded. "I'll keep that in mind."

He looked back to Drake. "Showing her around?"

Drake nodded. "Yes. But actually…I am giving her another Gundam lesson."

Treize's eyes brightened. "Ah! So, you know how to use a Gundam, do you, Ashi?"

Ashi blushed, looking down at her feet. "Just the basics…you know…how to move around. Daddy is going to teach me the basics in combat since I've gotten pretty good at how to move around in them."

"She's such a bright child. This is her third lesson…and already we're moving on to combat moves." Drake said.

"Combat moves! Already?" Treize said in amazement.

Ashi nodded. "I…I'm a fast learner." She said almost apologetically.

"That is amazing…you could be a good asset to us in the future. I see great potential in you, Ashi."

"Thank you, Treize, sir…but like I said, I am not interested in joining the military unless there is a great need for that." Ashi replied.

Treize nodded and smiled. "Most understandable. Well, I will not stall you any longer from your lessons, Ashi." He nodded to Drake. "Dismissed."

Drake saluted. "Thank you, sir. Come along, Ashi." He said, putting his arm around Ashi's shoulders in fatherly affection.

"Ok, Daddy!" Ashi said excitedly. She cast a glance over at Treize and waved. "Bye!"

Treize returned the wave with a graceful bow. "Good day."

He watched father and daughter leave the room before the door clanged shut. He poured himself a glass of wine and sipped at it, closing his eyes.

Ashi…she has the potential of being an employee here. She has the charisma, intelligence, and also a fast learner.

He set his glass down and gave a firm nod. It has been decided.

Mark my words, Ashi. You will work for me

Well, there you have it…Prologue. No…in this time frame, Treize doesn't have a twisted love for her. He just finds her as a potential employee.

Did some research and am relieved that he's actually only 24 in the actual series.

I liked how I portrayed Ashi in this chapter. Innocent and trusting…however, that all gets shattered once…well, wait for the next update and find out!
