Loneliness for Christmas
Trowa's Part
By: Maria
A final knife whizzed by Trowa's head, hitting its mark by his ear. The audience roared with applause for a great performance by Katherine and Trowa. Katherine and Trowa bowed.
"Wonderful performance you two! Your act is always one of the most popular!" the manager said.
"Thank you, manager. Trowa's acrobatic act most be the most popular!" Katherine said smiling at her brother.
"Yes it is. Trowa, you should be very proud of that."
"..." Trowa turned and walked outside to the lions cage. He was greeted with a soft purr. "It's a quite night don't you think?" he asked the purring lion. "And beautiful...like the ones I shared with Quatre, Heero, Duo, and Wu Fei."
Trowa stared up at the starry sky. Trowa and his circus family were currently on Earth, plans for heading to the colonies weren't till after the holidays. As he watched the sky, small snow flurries started falling.
"Huh? It's snowing again." he stuck his hand out to catch some of the snow flurries. "So small, pure and delicate...just like...just like Quatre."
The lion wanted some attention so it grabbed a hold of Trowa's shirt and pulled on it. "What? Haa ha ha...I get it. You want me to put you inside don't you? Let me hook you up to the truck."
Trowa got into the special holding truck for the animals and grabbed the chain that helped load up the cages. He attached the chain to the cage and started the loading machine. After finishing he jumped into the truck and sat by the cage.
"I really wish Quatre was here. I could use someone to talk to right now."
The lion disliking his statement, roared.
"I'm sorry, I meant a human companion to talk to with. And he's very understanding and helpful. I miss the times I had with him and the others. I never thought a nobody like me could miss people and if I did miss someone it, I would have thought, would only be Quatre. Do you think it's odd of me to miss them?"
"No, actually I'm not surprised you miss them."
"Huh!!" Trowa looked to the door way of the truck. "Katherine."
"Trowa, I wish you'd come to me when you need someone to talk to. My dear younger brother, come. Let's talk."
"Hmm..." Trowa was about to leave when he decided against it. "Fine Kathy. Let's talk."
Katherine smiled and sat down on a cage across from Trowa.
"Well...tell me everything you're feeling. I know you've been feeling kinda...my guess is lonely."
"I don't quite understand my feelings right now Katherine. I...miss them though...not really. Duo...even though I was uncommunicative with him, he would still talk to me and he's bright and amusing. Quatre seems to...light everything up for me...he's special...I know he is. Wu Fei well his intelligence and a puzzle. Heero...able to take charge of any situation and have very insightful things to help you. Maybe...these aren't reasons to miss them but it's what I know about them that makes me want to get to know them...I think."
"Trowa...I think you're learning and feeling the true meaning of friendship and with friendship comes a wide range of feelings. Like caring, love, understand, forgiveness, loyalty, honesty, honor and many more. Good and bad. Maybe now you'll look and act a little more normal." Katherine walks over to Trowa and gives him a big hug. "I was a little worried about telling you this...but seeing that those four bought something good to you...and they mean so much to you...I'll tell you."
"What is it Kathy?" Trowa asked curiously wondering why she'd hind something from him.
"You see two days ago...this invitation and letter came to out mail box...they were addressed to you and are from Relena. I got worried that it was some kind of call for you to go and fight again...so I opened it and read everything. It wasn't bad, but it mentioned the other four so I..." Katherine looked guilty.
"The others! Let me have them Katherine. Please, they are mine after all." Trowa felt a slight tremble pass through him.
"Of course." She pulls them out of her pocket. "It seems to be about a Christmas reunion...and you five are invited to go. Relena asks for those planning on attending to call her and let her know."
Trowa looked over the invitation and then read the letter:
Dearest Trowa,
Hello. I hope life sees you well. It's the holidays and I am planning a delightful reunion for you Gundam pilots, the Preventers Crew, Noin, Zechs and Marimeia and of course myself. The invitation has all the information about the place and my number to inform me of your attendance to this grand reunion. It shall be a three day event, the 23rd to day after Christmas. I do hope you attend.
Sincerely,
Relena Dorlian
"A chance to meet up with them again...to see Quatre...I don't know if I should go..."
"Trowa..." Katherine walks over and places her hand on his shoulder gently. "I think you should go. It's your obligation to go . You need to face them again and let them see how you've changed and missed them. Believe it or not I've noticed that spark of lonilness your eye portait often now a days. Do it for me...no do it for your...for Quatre."
Trowa looked up at his sister.
