SVX: Woohoo number 4 I think this is the last one. On to the FUTURE!!!!!
A Gundam Christmas Carol
Heero stared around the dismal alley trying to adjust to the dim lights. The shadowy figure beside him didn't speak or move just stared in front of him. Suddenly out of the mist Heero saw two figures moving. He strained to see and was surprised as the two figures came into focus. Trowa and Quatre walked side by each covered in blood and tears.
"I still can't believe I killed him," said Trowa his tear stained eyes focused on his blood stained hands.
"You had to Trowa he was out of control, he had to be stopped," replied Quatre staring out in front of him in a daze. Heero turned to the spirit confused by the conversation.
"Spirit what happened who was it that they killed?" The spirit didn't respond just continued to stare in front of him.
"Come on Trowa let's hurry and get cleaned off," Quatre put his hand on Trowa's back and led him out of the alley and disappeared into the fog. Heero stared in bewilderment not knowing what just happened. Heero jumped as the spirits icy cold hand touched his bare shoulder. He looked up into the black void of the spirit's face as it wrapped its black cloak around them. With a quick motion they were back inside the small orphanage on the L2 colony. Heero felt his heart drop as he looked over on the bed that the young boy had slept held a still figure. He walked over to the child and kneeled by the bed. His violet eyes were shut and his tiny lips were a strange shade of blue. His tiny body lay still under the covers. His long chestnut brown hair lay limp and dirty around him. He looked so much like Duo it was like seeing him dead all over again. Heero looked up as he heard someone enter the cold room.
"The poor little thing when did he go," asked the young woman as she walked next to the bed.
"Early this morning he just gave up, it's a shame I knew his parents met them during the war," answered the older man as he pulled the covers over the child's face.
"What was his name…for the headstone."
"Oh it was Solo…his name was Solo, it's such a shame if only we could have had better medical care he could have made it." Heero felt the tears sting his eyes as they carried the small body out of the room.
"Spirit this can't happen is there any way it can be prevented," Heero asked not really expecting an answer. As he thought the spirit just stared not even bothering to move. Heero stood next to the ghastly spirit one question burning in his brain. "Spirit who was the person Trowa and Quatre had to stop, please tell me." With a quick flick of his wrist the spirit transported them back to the alley were Trowa and Quatre had left. The spirit pointed on long hand towards one of the crate piles in the alley. Heero felt a lump in his throat form and with some effort swallowed it back down. He took a step forward feeling his palms getting moist. As he got next to the crates he took a deep breath and peered behind them. His eyes grew wide with fear and disbelief as he stared at himself lying stiff and bloody in the newly falling snow. His eyes were peering into nothing as the blood from the bullet wound in his head trickled over them. Heero turned his eyes away feeling the nausea ripple through his body. He quickly emptied the contents of his stomach into the virgin snow and stared at the spirit. "Spirit this can't be, this won't happen no not Trowa."
The spirit merely stared at him not moving. Heero put his face in his hands and wept. "I can change, just give me another chance." When Heero lifted his head he was in his room. Nothing seemed to have been disturbed. He got up from his bed and ran out the door and into the hallways of the apartment building. As he reached outside he breathed in the fresh scent of the morning's cold air. He looked at his watch, "Six o'clock I don't have much time with that he ran down the street towards the airport.
~~*~~*~~*~~
Heero glanced at his watch again as he stood outside the door of Relena's large mansion. He rang the bell hoping someone was home. An elderly man opened the door and stared at Heero with confusion, "Master Yuy?"
"Hello Pagan is Relena in?"
"Why yes master Yuy she is but I…"
"Great thank you Pagan," Heero interrupted as he ran past the elderly man and into the house. He made a quick turn into the living room and felt his heart jump as he saw her quietly reading on the sofa. He ran over to her and rapped his arms around her waist and lifted her into the air spinning her around.
"Heero…what in the world?"
"Relena I was a fool to leave you, I'm so sorry please forgive me."
"Well I don't know what's gotten into you Heero Yuy," she said her eyes cold and stren but her features soon softened, "but I like it, of course I forgive you." Heero smiled wide and leaned in and kissed her. He held her so tight afraid she would disappear if he let go. They stayed like that fore several minutes before Heero broke the silence.
"Want to go to Quatre's Christmas party together?"
"Well…sure I'm just surprise you want to go."
"I do but there is something I have to do first, come on." He grabbed her hand and they ran out the door.
~~*~~*~~*~~
"I'll get it Rashid I'm right by the door anyway," yelled Quatre as he opened his mansions front door, "Heero, Relena what a surprise!" He gave them both quick hugs and then noticed the small boy behind them. "Heero may I ask who your little friend is?"
"Oh Quatre I would like you to meet Solo." Heero pushed the young boy in front of him. Quatre's eyes widened in amazement at the tiny braided boy.
"Heero he looks exactly like…"
"Solo is Duo's son…and my adopted son."
"Heero this is amazing, and so are my manners won't you all please come in and join the party." Heero and Relena both took each others hand and Heero gingerly touched his new son's shoulder coaxing him into the house. After awhile Heero and Relena found them selves sitting beside Solo at the Winner's large dinning table enjoying Christmas dinner. Heero smiled at Relena and Solo and then moved his gave to the window. His eyes widened with surprise as he saw Duo standing out side the window smiling. Heero smiled and silently thanked him as he faded away and the snow began to fall outside the window.
"Thank you Duo," he said while he looked at all his friends and family, "Thank you for another chance."
