Else where in outer space:
"So Dou, going to the circus today? I hear they are really good!" said Hilde, as she bit into her cotton candy. Duo laughed. "Yeah. Sure. Why not? It'll be fun," he said, as he sat back and looked up into the clear blue sky. "Besides, it'll be good to see Trowa again" he said. "One of your Gundam friends?" asked Hilde. "Yup. The guy's an amazing fighter, and a good performer. Which, by the way, we really shouldn't be late for come on!" said Duo, as he got up. "Yeah. I think the show starts in fifteen minutes," said Hilde. "Then let's go"
At the circus:
"You ready for the big show Trowa? This is the first time you are going to be on the spotlight," said the Ring Master, as he watched the young man get ready. The boy who was already a man. With chestnut brown hair, and soft brown eyes, Trowa barely showed any emotion at all. Yet his eyes revealed all the feelings he held to the world. Not answering the Ring Master, he put on his mask. "Well? Are you sure?" repeated the middle aged man. "Of course he's ready. Don't worry, Sir. This is one performance the audience will really love" a young woman said, as she came into the tent.
"I guess you are right, Catherine. Just make sure you are here this time, Trowa," said the Ring Master, as he stepped out. "Don't worry about him. He's just nervous," said Catherine. Trowa nodded. "I know. To be quite honest, so am I" he said. Catherine laughed. "You? Nervous? I don't believe it. Trowa is someone who doesn't really know that word," said Catherine with a wink. Trowa looked at Catherine. "Thanks for the confidence, Sis" he said, with a nod of his head. "No problem.
Outside in the circus ring:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to our circus! Here we shall give you the performance of a lifetime! Welcome, to the circus!" he yelled, and was greeted with a roar of cheering. Bowing, he stepped out of the spotlight, and the first act came out.
"Isn't this fun, Duo? Look at them! This is so great!" said Hilde, as she cheered on the flying acrobats. "Yeah well, I can do that with my hand tied behind my back" said Duo.
"You couldn't find your way out of the bathroom!"
"Yup. That's right! I couldn't fin- Hey! I resent that!"
"You are jealous of those acrobats!"
Duo sighed. "Nobody understands me," he moaned.
Hilde laughed and was going to comment, but a sudden hush fell over the audience. The Ring Master came into the spotlight once more to introduce their feature presentation. "And now, ladies and gentlemen, as you have all been waiting for. The daring acrobat and knife thrower! Trowa and Catherine!" a great roar of cheering was heard from the crowd. "Hey cool! Trowa's on!" said Duo, as he finally started paying attention to the acts.
Drum rolls were heard, as the two came into the spot light. Catherine was seen facing away from a board, while Trowa was standing in front of the board. "Wonder what they are gonna do" said Duo. Suddenly Catherine began to throw knife after knife, behind her at Trowa. Trowa proceeded to jump, dogging each knife by the skin of his teeth. Finally the last knife was thrown, and Trowa jumped using each of the knives as a foothold and landed beside Catherine, both taking a bow together. The crowd went wild. "Wow! That was so cool! You have to introduce me to this guy, Duo!" said Hilde.
"Heh! I could hav-"
"Yeah, yeah. We know. You could have done it with your eyes closed" said Hilde.
"Exactly!"
After the show was over, Duo and Hilde decided to go say hi to Trowa. They found him, petting the circus lion on the head. "Be careful. You might get your hand bitten off," said Duo. Trowa looked up. "Duo" he said. He was surprised to see him there. The all American self-acclaimed 'god of death' with the big braid stood there with a huge grin in his face. "Yup. And guess who I brought? A recent fan of yours" he said. Trowa turned to see Hilde. "Hello" he said. "Hi!" said Hilde energetically. "I met you before, right? On Peacemillion?" he asked. "Yup! Wow. I wouldn't have thought you would have remembered!" said Hilde. "Why wouldn't I? You were pretty brave to do what you did that day" said Trowa. "Okay. Enough with the chitchat. I'm getting ignored here!" said Duo. "Oh. Sorry Duo. So what brings you guys here to the circus?" he asked. "Well, we heard it's a great show and decided to drop by," said Duo. "How's things been going?" "I'm doing good. Catherine and I have been pretty busy lately, with all these new acts," said Trowa. "When are you guys leaving?" asked Hilde. "In about two days" said Trowa. "Wanna come with us for a tour around the colony? After all, I wasn't the only one who was fighting out there to protect it, you know!" said Duo with a wink.
"Hey Trowa! Great performance!" Catherine called out, as she came out from her tent. She noticed that he had some visitors. "Hello" she said, greeting them. "Hi!" said Duo. "I remember you," said Catherine, with a smile. You were here once. When Trowa lost his memory. Sorry I was so rude. I didn't realize that Trowa really belonged out there," said Catherine.
*Flashback*
Trowa stood there, wide eyed, as he tried to believe what the boy had just told him. Him? One of the Gundam Pilots? How could it be? He would have remembered it. He should have. No! He didn't believe it! Yet this boy...Duo spoke with a voice that spoke the truth. Why couldn't he remember?! Catherine saw the great sadness and pain that came across Trowa's face and couldn't face it anymore. "Get away from him!" she cried. "Go away! You are no longer wanted here! Go!" she yelled.
*End Flashback*
"S'kay. You want to come for a tour of the colony? This place has great parks and stuff," said Duo. "Sure" said Catherine. "And stuff?" said Hilde. Duo winked. "All right, let's go," said Trowa.
In another colony, in the Winner residence:
"Would you think it is wise that this day should be a holiday?"
"Yes. Absolutely, Rasheed. This is a very important day. It was the day when Operation 'M' started, which eventually brought universal peace," said Quatre, as he sat on the desk of his father. After the war, he had resumed his role as the heir of the Winner legacy. "Very well, master Quatre. But I still think it's unwise of you to remind the people of the troubles of before" he said, grudgingly. "They should be reminded, because there are some who do not know that the war is over. The two missing satellites are proof of that," said Quatre sadly.
"Oh master Quatre..." Rasheed sighed.
"Well, I can't really do anything about that now. I am no longer a Gundam Pilot, you know" Quatre said, almost regrettably.
"You still wish to protect the colonies?" asked Rasheed slowly. "Master Quatre, what are you saying?"
"I just feel responsible for all this. Sometimes I wish I had joined the 'Preventers' with Wufei," he said. "Then I would be able to help others, instead of just sitting here all day" he said.
Rasheed remained quiet. "You help this colony everyday as you sit here, managing your estates, Master Quatre. The colony would not be able to function without you," he said.
Quatre slumped back into his chair. "I know" he sighed. "I guess it is out of my hands. I'm sorry, Rasheed."
"There is nothing to apologize for, Master Quatre. You have too much love in your heart to simply watch any pain or grief in the world around you."
Quatre remained silent. There was a knock on the door. "Yes?" Quatre asked. An older girl with pretty blonde hair, the same shade as Quatre's entered. She wore light frame glasses, with honey brown eyes behind them. Quatre's heart filled with joy when he saw her. "Hello Rajhina" Quatre answered pleasantly. "How's my favorite little brother doing?" she asked with a smile. "I'm doing fine, thank you. What are you doing here?" Rasheed smiled and bowed, saying "I better be going, Master Quatre"
"So how come you are sitting here in this stuffy little office all day?" asked Rajhina.
"I have work to do, you know. I have to take responsibility for everything Father had left me, you know," said Quatre.
"Oh you can leave it alone for a few hours! Come on! Rajina and the others wants to go for ice cream. You're invited," she said. Rajina was another one of Quatre's famed twenty-eight half-sisters. He still mourned with his family for the loss of his father and Rebecca. Quatre especially. He had once gone mad due to the death of his family members. Quatre shuddered as he thought back to those days, when he had created the Wing Zero and had waged a war on all of Earth and the Colonies wanting to protect the colonies from themselves.
"Well, are you coming?" Rajhina asked, breaking into his thoughts. Quatre laughed. "Sure. Come on!"
Back in Duo's colony:
"So you think the White Fang members are gathering again? I thought those guys were taken of last time," said Duo, as he leaned against a tree, Trowa standing a little away from him, his arms folded against his chest. "Yeah. All my sources say this not something to be overlooked. The White Fang had been a menace before. They might be a bigger threat than before though, if they are given enough time to grow their military power," said Trowa. "We have to be careful" "Yeah, no kidding. But the Preventers should be taking care of this. What are they doing anyway? This is really their territory now, not ours" said Duo. "Well, whatever they have done, they kept it low key. But I do know for certain is that they sent two of their elite members to handle any threat here in space. Any guesses in who they are?" Duo tipped his cap down, and looked over the horizon, watching some children walk with their parents. "One should be Wufei - he knows outer space pretty darn well. Plus, us Gundam Pilots make pretty darn impressions on our enemies. Who's the other one?" he asked. "Sally Po?"
"Ex-Gundam Pilots" Trowa corrected him. "And surprisingly, lt. Po isn't assigned to outer space. It's been assigned to someone who knows space just as well as Wufei does," said Trowa. Duo looked up. "Oh? And who, pray tell, might that be?" he asked.
"Lady Une"
Back on Earth, the Peacecraft residence:
Relena sat on her bed, thinking long and hard. She had excused herself and had been sitting in her room all morning, thinking of Heero. She held the teddy bear he had given her so long ago in her arms. There was a picture of him dancing with her at school framed on a table nearby. It had been taken by one of her school friends long ago. She remembered the night vividly.
*Flashback*
Her heart raced, as she felt his hand, holding hers. Slowly, in a rhythm the two moved. Though Relena felt like she could just faint in both fear and joy, she remained calm and dignified. She would not let him see her weak. Together, the two danced, and Relena wished that time would never move on. Suddenly there was an explosion outside, interrupting her pleasant thoughts. Heero, for a moment looked taken back and Relena saw, for a moment, a look of guilt. She heard him mutter, "...hey must have caught on to this place..." before he ran away, disappearing into the crowds. It was the last she had seen him in her school, but not the last in the days to come. She had checked with the administery for a forwarding address, but according to records they couldn't find anything on him. In fact, according to records, there never was a Heero Yuy in her school - ever.
*End Flashback*
Relena looked at the photograph. So many memories. Yet she hardly knew him. "Thinking of Heero again?" Relena looked up. Miliardo stood in front of her. "You have to forget him someday," he told her.
In the Colony where the Winner family resided:
"I still say Vanilla's better than Chocolate" said Quatre with a grin. "You must be crazy! Chocolate's the best! Ask anyone! You definitely slipped a little, my dear little brother," said Rajhina, as they walked down the streets. The other sisters had dispersed themselves to either shopping, or going back home, as Quatre and Rajhina walked back down to the Winner Office. "Well, it's really an opinion question, wouldn't you say?" asked Quatre.
Before Rajhina could answer, a shot from a gun was heard somewhere. Screams of terrified colonists were heard and there was mass confusion. "What's going on?" he cried. "Quatre! Look!" cried Rajhina, as she pointed at two men, dressed as ordinary citizens running after someone into an alley. Instinctively, Quatre ran after them. "Quatre! Wait!" cried Rajhina. "Get inside the office! I'll be right back! I need to check this out!" yelled Quatre, as he ran towards the scene. Screaming citizens running away from the gun terrorists kept pushing him back.
He ran into the alley and saw the two men corner someone. They were standing directly in front of him, so Quatre couldn't make out whom they had cornered. "Hey! Leave him alone!" yelled Quatre, startling the two terrorists. Startled, they turned around. "It's the winner kid. The Boss told us to get rid of him too. Get him!" one of them said, with an evil smirk.
Suddenly one of the pair crumpled to the floor groaning. "What the..?" the other one turned around, and got hit in the head by Quatre with a nearby trash can lid. "Thanks for the help, Quatre. But I could have handled these guys on my own" Quatre stared at the boy who he had helped. Wufei Chang. "Wufei! What are you doing here?"
