Arabic Prince
Epilogue

Quatre placed his googles on his head as he stepped out onto the open pilot cockpit door of his Gundam. He looked out at the vast ocean before him. He watched the reflection of the sun dance gracefully across the ocean's glass surface, a slight smile on his face.

"Time for a little break pal." Quatre answered, patting Gundam Sandrock lightly. "We desrve it for all the hard work we've done."

Quatre sat down on the end of the lowered cockpit door, staring up at the clear blue sky. He reached in his pocket, intending to grab a piece of paper. But what he removed from his pocket, made him smile with tears in his eyes. The silver rose hairpin sat neatly in the palm of his hand.

"I haven't forgotten you, Cassie." Quatre replied, looking down at the hair pin. "You're still in the place I promised to keep you...you're still in my heart."

Quatre looked down at the hair pain for awhile, before enclosing it in his fist.

"It's been a few months since she gave this to me Sandrock." Quatre answered, looking out towards the ocean. "Sometimes, I feel like she's out there...waiting for me. Strange, isn't it?"

Quatre turned around when he heard his communicator beeping. He placed the hair pin in his pocket as he rose to his feet. He sat down in his pilot seat and flicked the on switch to his communicator.

"Sandrock and Quatre here." Quatre replied.

"Quatre, this is Trowa." Came a voice over the communicator. "The rest of us could us your help. We've found an OZ base in New Zeland where they're holding Duo captive."

"I'm on my way." Quatre answered as he put his goggles back on.

Quatre pushed a button, closing the cockpit door. He strapped himself in as all his monitors flashed on.

"Sorry buddy. Looks like our brake will have to be cut short." Quatre replied as he flicked several switches and pushed a few buttons.



As Gundam Sandrock stomped off into the distance, someone lowered their pair of binoculars. Strands of her short brown hair falling across her face as she rose to her feet. Her deep blue eyes full of happiness as she headed over to a parked car where someone waited for her.

She opened the passenger side door and sat down in it. After strapping herself in, she closed the passenger door and placed the binoculars in the glove conpartment.

"How long do you intend on keeping this up, Cassie?" Asked her friend as she started the car.

Cassie just remained silent as she but her sunglasses on.

"You should go talk to him." Her friend answered as they drove off.

"He's a fighter in this war." Cassie answered, looking out the car window. "Emotions can make a fighter weak."

"But they can also make a fighter stronger." Her friend replied, glancing at her.

"Someday, we'll meet again." Cassie replied, looking up at the sky. "Maybe when that day comes, we can finally be together."

Cassie looked out towards the ocean, watching as the sun slowly began to sink below the horizon.

Can I count on you to wait for me?
Can I count on you to remember me?
Keep the memory of me close to your heart,
And we will meet again.

Till then,
I will always love you
And never forget you...
