Disclaimer: Why do I have to write these things? I obviously don't own Gundam Wing (I wish I did though), pigs will fly the day I get that much money. The other stuff is what I made up though (please don't hijack it).
A.N.: Thanks (whoever you were) for reviewing ^^. I think it'll make more sense now ^^.
2. You Remind Me…
Melody and the boy called Heero Yuy were waiting outside the classroom. She accidentally turned around and found herself looking straight into his strangely familiar deep blue eyes. She dropped her eyes immediately and shook her head slightly. She'd seen his eyes before…somewhere…but it couldn't be…
*
"We have two new students today. Heero Yuy and Melody Chant," the teacher announced.
Two people of around 15 walked in. If they had had their hair cut the same, the same clothing on, you didn't look at their eyes or at them too closely, they could have been mistaken as twins. The one in front was a boy with dark brown hair and Prussian blue eyes revealing no emotion. The second person was a tall, slender girl about the same height as the boy. Her face was marked by a scar that ran across her cheek and ended at the side of her nose. Her dark brown hair, the same shade as the boy's, was pulled back from her face. Her eyes, however, were a stunning emerald green.
"Please make them feel welcome. You two can sit in the seats next to Relena. You can ask her whatever questions you have."
They both walked over silently and sat down. Relena seemed to recognise the Heero and greeted him. However, Heero remained silent and looked away.

Melody tapped the side of the keyboard. She had plenty of time during the lunch break. She typed something in carefully. A ghost of a grin flitted across her face before it returned to it's normal state.
"Just because there's a sign there, doesn't mean it's really closed for computer updates. School fees and boarding fees…" she tapped the enter button. "Paid. Records…" she held the backspace key down and then started typing.
***
"Fencing," Melody said in a somewhat disgusted tone.
"Everyone is expected to participate, Miss Chant," the teacher said firmly.
Melody had her hair pulled back tightly into a ponytail. She scowled slightly as the teacher dumped a pile of white clothing, a mask and a foil next to her.
"These should be your size."
*
"Now I'm gonna make a fool of myself," she muttered darkly.
She sat down quickly at the bench outside of the change rooms
"Oi! New Girl! Let's see how good you are at fencing," a voice drawled.
"I don't like fencing, Alice," Melody said dropping her eyes as though programmed to do so.
"Are you scared?" she sneered, twirling her foil.
"No."
"Look at me when you're speaking to me New Girl!"
Melody sighed. She stood up and moved onto the fencing area. Alice lunged forward. Melody sighed again and dodged to one side letting the blade miss her completely. In one rapid movement, she engaged Alice's blade twisting around it like a metal snake before jerking her blade away pulling Alice's out of her grasp with it before lunging forward again.
Alice froze as the lightning movement ended with the point of her opponent's blade pressed lightly against her throat.
"I think I have won," Melody said. She glanced around to see where the teacher was before darting into the change rooms before the teacher could catch her.
***"Melody, you'll have to choose a horses to take part in the equestrian classes. Your records say you've paid for one," the teacher explained as she led the way down to the stables. "Have you ridden before?"
"A bit."
"Here we are."
All the horses were stabled in rows. Their names were written above their stalls
Genie, Red, Black Tornado…
"Hands off, he's mine. He's a warmblood and he's won a bunch of medals too! Three gold, and a bronze," Alice shoved past her into Black Tornado's stall. And looked down her nose at the taller girl.
"I suppose you will be using a school horse."
"That will be enough Alice," the teacher said.
They walked past the next few stalls.
"Yuki is the one Heero took out earlier," the teacher said as they walked past an empty stall.
A loud thumping noise came from the next one. Golden Fire. She looked inside. There, she saw a light chestnut coloured mare with 4 white socks and thick white mane and tail that brushed the ground. The whites showed all the way around her brown eyes. She reared, flailing with her hooves. Unintentionally, her green eyes locked onto the horse's dark brown ones then they both dropped their gazes simultaneously.
*.* Flashback *.*
She was on the back of a bay stallion riding bareback. The horse's black mane mingling with her own dark hair. A boy with the same dark hair like hers rode on a light chestnut coloured mare with four white socks and a flowing white mane and tail next to her. She laughed her deep blue eyes twinkling.
"Race you to the other end of the field Ani!" she cried whirling her horse around.
*.* End of Flashback *.*
"You like her?" the teacher came up behind her. "She's definitely not for beginners. She's been trying to break out of her stall ever since she got here. She's been trained before. She threw the first person we got to ride her and she's been here ever since."
"I'll take her out and see what she's like."
She opened the door. The horse stood inside quivering slightly then leapt, deadly hooves beating the air. Melody dodged deftly and grabbed the horse's halter, adding her weight and forcing the horse to drop back onto all fours.
*.* Flashback *.*
She was in a room dressed in a simple white outfit. The man circling her was dressed in an Oz uniform. He leapt forward. Before she could react, blow landed on the side of her head followed by another in her ribs. She gasped and jumped back out of his range.
"Until you can read my muscles perfectly, you won't be let out of this room," he growled.
He swept her legs from under her. She stumbled but managed to stay on her feet and counter the attack.
*.* End of Flashback *.*
*Melody was in the stall grooming her horse when heard someone come in. She was the only one in the stable at this time. She peeked out and saw a grey backside disappear into "Yuki"'s stall.
She approached the stall. She never made noise when she moved anyway. It was a bit of a habit. The person, Heero, didn't notice she was there until he looked up. He jumped involuntarily then resettled himself.
"Why weren't you at the equestrian classes today?" Melody asked casually.
"Don't ask if you know what's best for you."
*.* Flashback *.*
"Anii! What happened! Why hasn't Okaasan come home yet? Anii?"
His eyes were bright with tears but he refused to let them fall.
Getting hold of his emotions he looked up.
"Don't ask if you know what's best for you."
*.* End Flashback *.*

Melody sat in a chair in the corner of the common room reading.
"Hey! Check out the new computer game I got! 'War Zone'. Way better than the 'War at Sea'. The objective is to annihilate the enemy forces. You get to pick what's in your weapons, army, ships, bombers and aircraft."
"Cool!"
"Can I play it."
People crowded around the boy with the game.
Melody glanced up anger burning and lighting up her usually emotionless green eyes. She stood up and snapped her book shut. She shoved through the bunch of people crowding around the computer area where the new game was. She reached forward and pressed the 'off' switch. Everyone turned and looked at her with different expressions on their faces.
The boy who owned the game looked ready to kill.
"You BITCH! You might have wreaked the game!!!"
He drew back his fist and punched. Melody intercepted his fist mid-punch and held his arm in a grip of iron tightening slowly. The surprise showed in the boy's eyes; Melody had seemed so dainty and fragile. She twisted his arm. He thrashed and yelled.
"Don't mock war," she whispered. "It is a far more dangerous game."
She kicked him in the stomach and then dropped him.
A.N.: I know this chapter is REALLY weird and not really that good ^^'…You probably think I'm obsessed with the "*.* Flashback *.*" thing… And nope. Not Relena ^^. The person in the room was the Melody girl. Hope you still like it ^^'. Please review ^^.
