Soul of Outer Space
A New Generation
Part 2
Christian slowly walked down the street, man this sucks I'm going to go stop a war, but I still have to go to school. He kept on walking as soon as he entered the school yard, people looked up and started to whisper, it's times like this that I hate being who I am.
"Hey Dude." Some one called and Christian turned around,
"Your, like, the all American football player from earth. What are you doing in the colonies."
"My dad has some business to attend to and brought me along, my name is Christian Quatra Winner. Yours?"
"How stupid of me, Sam. Sam Winters." Sam stuck his hand forward and they shook hands.
"You know, your father and his friends are like my heroes."
"Really?" Christian asked. Then he noticed a girl his age standing behind Sam. "Who do we have here?" He asked Sam stepped a side and introduced her,
"This is Colleen Merger." She put her hand forth to shake his hand, but on instinct Christian took her hand and raised it to his lips and kissed it softly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Colleen." Colleen blushed and Sam raised and eye brow. Christian took the next couple of seconds to scan her, she is beautiful but not as beautiful as Courtney, god how I miss her. Christian smiled at the girl as the bell rang, Colleen ran off towards her friends and Christian and Sam headed towards the school,
"Since when did kissing a girls hand become a pick up?!" He asked Christian in a frustrated tone.
"I wasn't trying to get her to like me I," he blushed not really knowing what to call his and Courtney's relationship, "I already have a girlfriend."
"I say forget about her and go out with Colleen, she's the most popular girl at school."
"Not as popular as my girlfriend, wanna see a picture?" Sam nodded his head and he practically drooled over the picture, he whistled and gave it back to Christian.
"You better hold on to her." Christian laughed and put the picture back in his wallet.
Melanie walked into the room and threw her book bag down on the floor.
"What happened?" Inquired a male voice from behind her.
"Go away Jeramy, I don't want to talk about. Jeramy sat down next to her and put his arm around her.
"Come on Mel, remember the deal we made, always look after each other." Then Melanie burst into tears and buried her head in her older brother's shoulder. Jeramy rapped his arms around her and stroked her hair whispering comforting thoughts in her ear. After about ten minutes she calmed down, she gave a small smile between tears.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Your shirt. I got it all wet."
"Don't worry about it, it's your week to do the laundry any ways." She gave a laugh. "Now tell me what's wrong." Jeramy sat up and listen politely.
"It's daddy what if he doesn't come back? What if her gets hurt? Mommy has always been there to nurse him back, but this time she…she…isn't." she started to cry again and Catharine came into the room. She sat down next to her children,
"Sweetie what's wrong?" that only made Melanie cry harder so Jeramy explained to their mother. After words they had a family hug.
"Don't worry kids, Dad will be back before you know it." She smiled at them, God Trowa if you knew what you were putting the kids through now. She smiled and held Melanie tight.
Courtney sat up in bed, startled she locked around her to see what had woken her up. She started to settle back again when some one taping on her window, she carefully got up and put her robe on and opened the door that led out onto her balcony,
"Hello, is any body out here. Solo is that you?"
"Courtney." A faint shivering voice came out.
"Lena?" Courtney ran to the younger girl. "Lena what are you doing out here?"
"I had a bad dream, and I wanted to talk to some one about." She looked up into the other girl's eyes. "I was going to talk to mommy, but she works so hard and she needs all the sleep she can get. Derrick he just-"
"Isn't a girl and wouldn't understand." Courtney finished her sentence. She walked over to a bench and sat down. She patted the spot next to her and Lena came over. "What was the dream about?"
"It was about Daddy and Christian." Courtney's heart skipped a beat at the sound of Christian's name, she herself had been crying her self to sleep for the last couple of days, worrying about him. Lena continued on about what had happened in her dream, when she was finished she was near tears.
"It's okay Lena don't cry. You care so much about Uncle Quatra and Christian, they wouldn't want to know you were like this." She gave the girl a hug. "Every thing is okay now, it was just a dream."
Odin sat up with a jolt, knocking who ever was on top of him onto the floor.
"Who's there?" He asked as he heard a sniffle from the floor. "Lesley is that you. What's wrong sis?" Odin asked getting out of bed and kneeling down to meet his sister's eyes.
"Mommy," she choked out, "She's not in her room."
"Don't you remember she had to go to England. What's the matter." Lesley burst into tears, Odin being very good with girls with words wasn't to good with handling their emotions.
"I…Want…DADDY!" she sniffled out, Odin sighed, she only missing Daddy this I can deal with. He took his sister into his arms,
"Do you want to sleep in my room tonight?" She nodded her head yes. Odin carefully picked up his sister and lay her bed, next he got in and pulled the covers up over them, he kissed her on the cheek.
"Sleep tight, if you need any thing just wake me."
"On one condition." He heard her say, Odin turned to look at her, "You promise not to throw me to the floor." He chuckled and the two fell asleep.
Christian walked into the hotel room that they where staying at and threw his book onto a table. Then he threw himself face first onto the sofa.
"How was school son?" Quatra asked walking into the room, Christian just groaned.
"What, school to hard. To many girls to chaisen after you?" Dou asked punching the younger boy playfully in the back. Christian rolled over onto his back.
"Nope the school is exactly the same."
"What do you mean?" Dou asked.
"Exactly what I said, I mean at least on earth I had Odin and Solo to make things interesting."
"What about my son?" Trowa asked catching the last bit of the conversation.
"O yeah him and Leo too. Then there was Courtney." He blushed, Dou raised an eyebrow.
"Did you hear that Lee, seems that Christian here has the hots for Courtney."
"If he does he hides it well." Was Lee's response.
"Just because I tell Odin and Solo to leave her alone doesn't mean I like her." He said as he crossed his arms, before any one could saw another word the laptop started beeping.
"Section four, right side." Herro called. Dou jumped up.
"Al right every body it's show time."
Jeramy and Odin walked into the classroom together as usual, the news was on and nobody paid any attention too. When suddenly,
"The battle outside colony L1 is raging, people say it's the biggest one in almost fifteen years. And oh here come the gundams." The announcer called.
"Oh my god!" the two boys looked at each other and raced down the hall.
Courtney headed towards her locker, only four more periods to go. She thought, she opened her locker and started getting her books, when her hand brushed up against Christian's jacket. Her eyes started to water as she fingered it lovingly. Her best friend Kathleen then came up to her,
"Oh my god, Court, I just saw the hottest guy- Courtney what's wrong?" She had seen the tears in her eyes and looked into her locker and saw her looking at Christians jacket.
"So ladies how about a movie this weekend- Kathy what's wrong with Court-" He looked into her locker and saw Christians jacket. Matt was Courtney's other best friend, he being a member of the football team and a close friend of Christian. "Courtney I'm sor-." He was cut off by the sound of catcalls coming down the hallway.
"Wonder who it is." Kathleen asked sarcastically, from the crowd emerged Solo,
"Hey babes, what's shaken, Matt." Solo nodded his head towards Matt.
"Solo go away, your not wanted here." Kathleen said.
"Whoa, slow down babe, I just wanna know when Courtney and I are going to kiss and make up." He said this as he rapped his arms around Courtney. Courtney pried his arms off her and fell into Matt's arms crying to her self.
"Solo, you always have to make things worse, can't you see she's in pain." Just then another set of catcalls where heard down the hall, but where cut off as Odin came running down the hall. Courtney peered out and saw him coming.
"Guys…come…quick…"
"Whoa calm down we didn't understand a word you said." Kathleen said. With that Odin grabbed Solo and Courtney's hands a pulled them down the hall. Matt and Kathleen looked at each other.
"Follow them." They said in unison.
Christian fought back with every ounce of strength in his body.
"Damnit." He said, as he was throw backwards. The other mobile suit was about to destroy him when it was slashed in half. Two screens appeared on his screen,
"You okay son?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Be more careful." Quatra said to his son.
"Yeah your mom will have kill us if any thing happens to you, right Quatra." Herro said. The two just laughed. The group continued on with the battle.
"We can't hold them off much longer." Christian said. He watched as his father's mobile suit was thrown back, "DAD!" He screamed. Once again Herro to the rescue.
"The same goes for you, Clara would never forgive me, if you got killed."
"Are you kidding she kill me if any thing happened to you." Quatra responded.
"And then she'd kill the rest of us for battling, when the three of you died because you where talking." Dou yelled.
The three some came racing into the room,
"Oh my god." Solo said, and Courtney gave out a little scream, the class that was in there looked up. A couple minutes later the rest of the group came in.
"Courtney!" Cried Lena as she ran to the other rapping her arms around her waist. The group watched the battle in silence. It showed Christian for a couple of seconds,
"Wow he's tarring up the place." Solo cheered, but stopped as soon as Derrick glared at him. The bell rang and the teacher told the group they would have to go to class.
"SHUT UP!" Leo screamed and the teacher was silent. The group watched in silence every once in a while the class would hear quiet sobs, when a gundam was thrown back. After about twenty minutes,
"Oh Lesley could you let go of my arm, I'm starting to lose feeling." Derrick asked quietly. Sorry and a blush were all that was seen. Suddenly the TV went blank.
"What happened?" Melanie cried, by now she was in the arms of her brother. The announcer came on,
"Do to technical difficulties beyond are control, we can't broadcast this battle any further."
"I've got a bad feeling about this." Derrick said.
"It's going to come back on right…right?" Lena said and began to cry again, she
ran into Solo's arms crying, what why did I just do that and why is he holding me? She thought as she
slowly stopped crying. She/he would never feel the same way about me, they both thought at the same time they quickly pulled apart blushing. Matt and Kathleen who had slipped in unnoticed began to put things together, they realized who their friends where.
Christian pulled his gundam up into the hanger. They had survived, barely, but had survived.
"So what do you think about your first battle, Chris?" asked Dou.
"I think I'm going- ow." Christian looked down to see his arm smeared with blood.
"Not until we have that looked at." Quatra said walking over to his son.
"We all better get looked at, we all got banged up pretty bad." Trowa said, they all nodded in agreement.
"It will come back on in a couple of seconds right…right?" Lena yelled and she started to cry again. She ran into Solo's arms as cryed
One week later-
Christian sat in the airplane that was taking them back to earth, his arm was in a sling, but by the time they got home he wouldn't need it. He looked out the window, man it will be good to see every one again. Courtney. The other's thought of their loved ones.
Quatra thought, Lena and Derrick…Clara.
Trowa thought, Jeramy and Melanie and o it will be good to see Catharine again.
Wufia thought, Leo and Sally, I love them too much to lose them.
Herro thought, Odin and Lesley and Relena, god I love them all.
Dou thought, Solo and god to be with Hilde again.
Lee thought, Courtney and Dorothy.
Christian thought, Courtney I swear that I will tell you how I feel about you no matter what. Christian stared out the window as they began to enter the atmosphere.
I don't own Gundam Wing and I hope that you liked this chapter. Stay tuned I have been getting a lot of new ideas. Maybe even a new character. It has been brought to my attention that I have been spelling Quatre wrong, my bad from now on I will spell it right.
