CHAPTER 7- QUESTIONS WORN
Yvette gave him a curious look, but didn't ask any questions. She finished up her orange; then followed Wufei into his office. She found him sitting in his seat in the dimly lit room. He was sifting through a new pile of papers; they looked pretty old, considering they were a pale yellow. Then he pulled out a picture of something. He beckoned her over to him. "Um….." she said while looking over his shoulder. The picture looked like something out of her book of "Famous Century Wars and Models"; a mobile suit. It was the one that was called, something like Nataku. But it was dated, reading seventeen years ago. He pulled out some more, dating around the same time. Then, he laid them out so she could see all of them. She reached for the one on the other side of the desk, the one farthest away from her. There was a name written on it; Wing Gundam/ Heero Yuy. "…..So this would be mine," she said, not as a question, more like a statement. He looked up at her, "Something like that." "What exactly do we have to do Wufei?" she said, still looking at the picture. "Well," he took the picture from her, "we have errands to run." "What kind of errands?" she said cutting him off. "Now, let me finish. We have to go to some parts store and…." She cut him off again, "what kind of parts store?" "Let me finish," he said annoyed, "the motor parts store, can't remember the name right now. Alright, it's already 3:00 now, didn't think it took that long to do things, let's go." He picked up his jacket and made his way to the door, with Yvette following him, very quietly…..

Alex was sitting in the back of the car on the way home. "Are you alright Alex?" Noin said with a worried tone, "Your very quiet, you know." "Hmm? Oh, yes I'm fine Noin, thank you," she replied. "Well, this is a difficult time for you, with what is now going on, so feel free to talk to us," Zech assured her. He was now pulling up to the two-story house; it was a peach color with apple trees in the front orchard. A small woman came out to meet them. "Welcome back!" she said. "Hello Gabriel," Alex answered her. Gabriel helped Noin out of the car as Alex made her way to the house with its huge windows and double glass doors. She breathed in the sweat sent of apples as she walked past the orchard that was now in bloom with blossoms. She opened the door as her kitten greeted her; Pearl. She walked over to Alex and jumped into the open girls arms, and started purring. Alex smiled at the little cat; its random actions were very funny to watch. She walked over to a chair in the living room and sat down. Her life was changing right before her eyes, and there was no way to stop it, no matter how she tried. She was going to take the place of a young boy with blond hair and crystal blue eyes; become part of the Winner family who had lost him so long ago. "I said, Alex, would you like something to eat?" Gabriel said. "Hmm?" She looked up to the lady standing near her. She hadn't notice Gabriel came in, or even that she was being talked to. "Uh, no thanks. I think I'm going to go lay down." She walked upstairs to her bedroom, followed by her cat that had left her arms to walk. *I just need to rest. Hopefully this will all be over when I wake up. But it's too real to be a dream.* She thought as she lay down on her feather pillow…..

"Ash? Ash. Ash!" Catherine almost yelled. "Huh?" Ash said turning away from the window for the first time since they got in the car. "What are you thinking so hard about that you can barely hear me?" Catherine said in an annoyed, but worried voice. "Um, well, I was about to fall asleep….." she looked at Catherine's arched eyebrow, then said quickly, "but I was thinking about what all is going on." "Alright, leave her alone for now Catherine," Trowa said in his quiet voice. She looked up at him, a little bit of surprise on her face. Then she turned around to face the front and stared out of the side window. "Sorry Catherine, I know you're just worried about me, but I'll be fine, honest," Ash said, with a slight smile that concealed her real feelings. She was scared, very scared. But, yet, she felt something deep inside that was adventurous. Not sure what else to say or do, she returned to looking out the window, pondering some more. "So, Ash why don't you just rest, okay," Trowa said with some concern. He could see the girl in the rear view mirror. She looked very tired and weary, considering she had a long night with little sleep. "I guess your right," she said still looking out of her side window. She was somewhat tired, but she was to far in deliberation to sleep. Thoughts kept running through her mind, *what will happen to all the great memories I've had with my family, Trowa and Catherine?* She didn't like the contemplation of loosing those. But even with all her thinking, she eventually drifted off to sleep.
She was awoken by a slight shake. "Hmm?" she said while rubbing her eyes. The smiling face of Catherine greeted her. "We're here," she said. Ash looked up and smiled back, "okay, I'll be just a sec." She got out of the car and went into the house. *I can't just ruin the rest of my time here with my memories by being bothered by what's going to happen. But I do hope it's not inevitable* she thought as she walked up the stairs to her room. She stubbed her foot on one of the steps, "CRAP!" slipped out of her mouth. She heard a dish crash in the kitchen. She did cuss, even though that wasn't a 'bad' word, but not where everyone could hear it. Obviously Catherine had heard her, and wasn't expecting it. She quickly made her way up the stairs the best she could; her foot hurt badly, she hit it hard because she wasn't paying any attention to where she was going. While she was closing her door, she could hear Catherine complaining to Trowa about what she said. She stopped to listen for a second. "You mean she'll even start to talk like him!" "Look Catherine, I can't help it, I'm sure she can't either." "She still shouldn't say things like that!" "Alright. Calm down, I'll talk to her later, for now she needs at least some rest." Trowa assured her. Ash couldn't agree more; she walked over to her bed and lay down on her back. "Oh, well, guess I should get some sleep."…..
A/N: Alright, so it's getting boring again, but it wouldn't be good if you didn't get to anticipate it, right? ^_~ I'm hoping to get some of chp 8 done before Christmas break is over. I guess, if you want continuations, I'd like suggestions; see what ideas are out there. K! ^_^ Guess I'll talk to you all L8R- Darken Angel
