Well hello again. I'm in a really good mood. You know why. Because everybody was really nice and reviewed my story. So, here is the first part of what I guess would be kind of like a prequal to the other part. As for some questions. I simply decided not to include Noin, Zechs, and Une in this fic. If someone wants to they can right what they thought happened to them, but do it in the same style as this and be sure to let me know before posting it. Okay, and now to the fic.
This takes place directly after the end of Endless Waltz. I know everybody wanted to know what was going to happen next, but that will have to wait. Once I get all of this part of the fic up, I'll tell what happens after Ten Year's After.
Before Ten Years After: Prologue
Before A Husband and a Nightmare:
Heero watched as Relena bowed to the applauding crowd. She probably knew that he was up there on the upper balcony watching her. She always knew when he was near. It was like she had this sixth sense that went off when ever he came anywhere near her. He cared for her, but he didn't love her. No, that wasn't it. He couldn't love her. The perfect soldier could not allow himself to love. He couldn't love her, but that did not mean he couldn't watch over her and keep her safe. He would always stay by her side in the shadows, defending her from any nightmare that tried to swallow her whole.
Before A Priest and a Haunted Heart:
Duo smiled as Hilde ran towards him with the inventory list that she had kept while he was gone. Even when he had gone away to fight again, she had kept the scrap yard going. She had waited loyally for him to return and for once she listened when he told her not to try and help in the fight. They had been living together almost two year now. They had been bestfriends since Hilde had switched sides and only recently had their relationship started to blossom into something more romantic. Heck he'd even told her that he loved her and that he knew she was the only one for him. He didn't know what he would do without Hilde. She'd asked him this once, and he'd jokingly answered. "I don't know babe, I just might have to go be a priest if I can't have you"
Before A Brother and A Broken Heart:
Trowa's face remained featureless as he made his way towards the circus tent. Although his face showed no emotions, his heart skipped a beat when he saw the figure peeking through the tent's doorway, waving at him. Catherine he thought, why is it that you make me feel so strange. It didn't matter who he was around, normally he could keep a straight face that showed nothing of what was going inside his mysterious mind, but whenever he came near Catherine, a little bit of emotion couldn't help but seep through that rocky exterior. At that moment a smile crept into his cold features. Trowa thought to himself, I don't know what I would have done without you Cathy. You're the best sis; no you're more than a sister besides we aren't related. Well, whatever you are Cathy, you're the best a person could have.
Before A Widower and A Lonesome Heart:
Quatre shook of the endless congratulations and well done's that Rashid and the other Maguanacs were giving him. It wasn't that it bothered him, it was just that sometimes the constant praise was overbearing. As the commotion started to die down, Quatre slipped away to his room, for some time to think and let the reality of peace sink in. As much as Quatre hated war, at least it was an escape from the monotony of office work. Even though his 29 sister helped out, the bulk of the work of running the Winner Corporation weighted heavily on his shoulder. He wished he had someone to share his thoughts with and to just hold on to. He only hoped that if that person ever came along that he would never lose her like he had so many other loved ones.
Before A Husband and A Lover:
Wufei complained about the injustice of having a women as a partner aloud, but on the inside he thought about how glad he was that the women at his side was his partner. Sally was the most capable woman he knew, heck she was one of the mot capable people, man or women that he knew. They were walking through a village. They were supposed to be looking for a mysterious contact who supposedly had some inside info on some group that was going to rebel. A young boy darted around a corner only to bump into Wufei's leg and fall to the ground. Instinctively Wufei, began to scold the child about not having any honor and how he would bring his family injustice if he continued to be so careless. Sally ignoring what Wufei was ranting about started to tend the now frightened child's scraped knee. By the time Wufei shut up, Sally had his knew all patched up and he quickly got away. Wufei felt Sally's arm on his should she led him away. With that kind of attitude, you should never have kids Wufei, she commented. As she said this, a vision of Wufei and Sally married and with children appeared in Wufie's mind. Wufei shook his head. Where on earth did that come from he thought? Sally just gave him a funny look.
Okay what do you think? Love it, hate it, tell me, just no flames please.
What ever you do don't comment about the Trowa/ Catherine part. I know according to the Episode Zero manga they are brother and sister, but Trowa doesn't know that.
