To the Moon And Back
Disclaimer: Don't own GW or the song by Savage Garden
AN: this is my first QW&DC pairing, please be kind and tell me if they are OOC or if they suit the roles
or not, okay? Thanks! OH, by the way, I'm feeling kinda down as my best friend, Dark Abyss is retiring
from FFN, so don't mind if the ending is angst, okay?
{She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one}
Dorothy Catalonia is standing by a bay window, looking out a the sea from the patio. Relena comes up to
her and asks, "are you okay, Miss Dorothy?"
"I'm quite fine, Miss Relena," Dorothy says, and bothers not to turn around. She hasn't talked to her love
for the whole night, she cannot. She believes he hates her, she is soulless, an evil person who was
responsible for the lead in the White Fang's role, and for hurting the one she cares about. Quatre...
"Okay then...um...I guess I'll see you later, all right?" Relena asks again, and then leaves, returning to
host her party.
As she leaves the patio, she passes couples and groups, who all pause and whisper as she passes. Bitter
stories, they are exchanging.
{They're saying, "Mamma never loved her much"
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch"
"That's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bag for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come}
She passes Relena's group, and she hears:
"Quatre, are you leaving for your family's resource satellite tomorrow?"
"Yes, sadly, Miss Relena. You'll come and visit, I presume?" Quatre asks.
"Of course. I'll make sure I will."
"Trowa, you'll come too, I hope?"
"Sure, Quatre."
Tears sting in Dorothy's eyes. She runs out of the party, blindly running. No, no...it can't be true...her
love is leaving her...
She is in her room at the Sank Kingdom, Relena has generously given. She packs her bags, she is
heading for the satellite. She has lost both her mother and father in the war, and now she is not going to
loose Quatre. Not again...never...
*****
She gets to the satellite and checks into a hotel. While passing someone on the street, she dimly notes it's
Quatre, who turns around and muttered to himself, "Dorothy?? What is she doing here?"
He follows her to her hotel room, and sinks into the shadows, watching her movements.
Dorothy senses his pressence, and asks in the dark, "Quatre? Are you there? Please, come out and talk to
me." She hugs her arms to her body, and turns to face him, as he comes out.
{And she'll say to him
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?}
"Dorothy..."
"I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be..." She stops, blushing, and walks over to her room
radio. Playing, is Savage Garden's "To the Moon and Back". She hums to the tune as Quatre watches her.
"I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be my baby," she whispers.
"Dorothy..." Quatre steps forward, softness written all over his face. "Please...wh-what are you talking
about? Do you...?"
"Sit." She says, ploping down on her soft bed.
{She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was colour blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place,
And reaching out for human faith is,
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for"}
"Quatre, I don't know the last time I felt needed...my parents both died early on in the war with the Earth
Sphere Alliance and OZ," she tells him, tracing a pattern on the bedsheet with a delicate hand.
Quatre is watching her intently, listening to her every word.
"Love is like a barren place, and reaching out for human faith," she says, "is like a journey, I just don't
have a map for."
"Dorothy, don't give up," Quatre urged her. "You can't...you've come this far through the war, and look
where you are now. Please...don't do this to yourself."
"Quatre, I can't help it," she sighs. "You're so good, so kind, while...while I am bitter and heartless."
She breaks down in tearless sobs, gasping for air.
{So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?}
"Dorothy, you can't give up. People don't believe that, its because of your past with White Fang and OZ."
Quatre tries to console her, rubbing her on her back, soothing her. Her sobs grow quiet after a while and
she slowly raises her head to look at him.
"What am I to you, Mr. Quatre?" she asks breathlessly.
"To me, Dorothy, you are a kind person who needs to be loved, to have someone to love in this world.
You can also be loved." Quatre grins, and quotes: " 'What's in a name? That which we call a rose, By any
other name would smell as sweet'."
He rubs his finger over a tear that stayed at the corner of her eye, and smiled at her.
"Shakespeare, Mr. Winner?" Dorothy smiled lightly.
"Romeo and Juliet," Quatre answers, and stands up.
{They're saying, "Mamma never loved her much"
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch"
"That's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bag for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come}
"Quatre..."
"Hmm?" Quatre looks down at Dorothy, and she stands up, nervously lowering her head.
"Do you...oh God...do you love me?" She asks quietly, he can barely hear her.
He is taken aback by these words, but thinks them over. He thinks of who she really is, how she's never
had love. How much he wanted Trowa to save her on Peacemillion instead of him, give her a chance to
love, live on...how much he missed her when he was sent to get the Gundams for the battle with
Mariemaia.
"Yes."
{And she'll say to him
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby? Yeah...}
Dorothy throws her head up, staring at Quatre.
"Y-You do?" She stammers.
"Yes," he repeats, and pulls her into a hug. He raises her head so they can see each other, and they lean in
to share a passionate kiss.
Breaking off, Dorothy whispers, "I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be...if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong, so would you be my baby?"
"Always." He answers her.
AN: well, that ended differently than I expected. Oh well, pretty sappy at the end, but it'll do. Please R&R!
