Warnings: None really. Each chapter is startling short and is merely
a very small glimpse into the lives of the GW ppl. Every chapter signifies
a new person and all of these are serious and at times even a tad angsty.
When I wrote these I was trying to visually a realistic view of what they
could be doing. I'm posting this because it's been sitting in my hard drive
for awhile now and I thought 'what the hell' so, hope ya enjoy and I'd
greatly appreciate reviews ^_^

Chapter Two:
Perfect Soldier…
It's all right to make mistakes, you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
"Slide" Sung by Dido, Written by: D. Armstrong, P. Statham & P. Gabriel
Heero Yuy typed on his Essay on the Reference to Science in the History
of Arts and Religion, ignoring the laughing college students around him.
His callused fingers dancing across the keys expertly as he occassionally
glanced at the notebook propped up beside him. For six years he'd been
attending college. He had the finances to easily continue his studying,
but he didn't need it after receiving numerous scholarships for his academic
and athletic achievements. Six years of learning in a peaceful and strangely
normal environment.
Some thought it strange that he didn't seem to be focusing on a particular
major, yet had continued on for two extra years… They didn't realize he'd
probably continue for another two years.
What major could he choose? What major could a soldier choose?
None of these people realized who he was and he was glad for that. He didn't
want to be recognized. He wanted to forget his past and the things he'd
done, but his training wouldn't allow him to. So, he remembered and buried
himself in books and the adaptable world of college.
It would be years till he gathered the courage to leave the University.
How could he leave? What would he do? Where would he go? The wars were
over. They didn't need him and he was glad. He didn't want to be needed.
He had killed enough people. He'd seen too much bloodshed and madness.
Relena had shown him that.
She truly believed in peace and… He believed in her.
She taught him that there was another way he could live. That fighting
battle after battle wasn't all that he could do…
Duo had taught him how to laugh…
The little girl… He wished he knew her name. Nothing would ever rid him
of the pain and guilt he felt for her death. But she'd taught him something,
too.
Even the Perfect Soldier made mistakes…
He pressed enter and waited for the Essay to print. His eyes landed on
a dust-covered tome, Medicinal Wonders… He had taken so many lives…
Heero slowly picked up the book.
Perhaps, he could learn how to save them instead.
Heero picked up his printed out Essay and the heavy book and made his way
toward the librarian.
