Part 3: Memories


Abel walks into the bedroom followed by Wufei carrying
Jillian, who is still trying to talk.

"Do you have any idea what she is trying to say?" he asks

"No idea." Abel says. She pulls back the covers.

*Why do I have the feeling that she is lying?* he thinks
*She is still nervous.* He lays Jillian on the bed and
covers her with the sheets. "Is there something we can
give her for the pain?" he asks

"Why are you concern? You most likely think she is weak."
says Abel. Wufei gives her the death glare he learned
from Heero. "No, nothing" she answer "We have tried
everything to help our baby sister, nothing helps."
she looks at Jillian with tender eyes. Then looks at
Wefei, the soft look gone. *Just leave the room so I
can let her write it down. Then the pain will go away.
If I don't he could...*

Her walkie-talkie beep and comes on ending her train of thoughts.
"Abel?" comes Relena's voice. Abel removes the walkie-talkie
from her small dress purse.

"Yes?"

"We have a small problem here." say Relena in her calm voice.

"I also have one here, Jillian's sick."

"Is she having another headaches?" Asks Relena concern
showing in her voice.

"Yes"

"Is there someone else with her?"

"Yes" Abel anwser, not wishing to tell who was there.

"I need your help here" Relena says. "Louren has gotten
herself drunk and won't let anyone near her. Since
you're the oldest I thought maybe you could help her"

"Nani?" she says *Lauren must be really upset about
something if she even touches a drink must less get
drunk.* she thinks. She turns around to see Wufei
handing Jillian a notebook and pen that he had
found on the floor.

"Maybe she can write down what she wants to say." he
says when he notice her watching him.

Abel opens her mouth to say something when Relena voice
come again "Please Abel." Abel walks out the door
listening to where she could find Louren. I hope he
doesn't pay attention to what she writes down. she
thinks.

Wufei pays very close attention to what Jillian is
write down.

555 Little John Avenue

Life comes back to her eyes. She looks at what she
wrote. Pictures flash though her head. She searches
for the door to the bathroom. She has just one
problem after she finds it. Wufei is in her way.
"Move!" she says. She pushes him aside and jumps
out of the bed.

Wufei watches her run to the bathroom. *It good
to see life back in her eyes but now she is losing
her dinner. Weak girl.* He thinks.




Abel finds Louren where Relena says she would be.
*She is drunk! I wonder what she's so upset about.
I see that Tara also heard about this.* Tara stand
in front of Louren who stands in a fighting position.

"Louren, let me help you." says Tara.

"Need some help?" asks Lynn who walks up behind Abel.
Abel just nods and with her hand tells Lynn to stand
to Lauren's right. The three surround Louren, it look
like a fight with three against one. Only the girls
have no wish to fight Louren but it might end up that
way.

"Ok girls ready?" says Abel. They tense their muscles
and get ready for anything Louren might throw their way.
"Go" They jump at Louren. It takes all three of them
to get the fighting girl into the house and to her
bedroom.

They are lucky none of the Gundam pilots saw them.
Duo would be laughing his tail off and the rests
would be shock in his own way because the girls
don't look very professional at the moment.

The three girls didn't stop in the bedroom.
They throw Louren still with her clothes on
into a cold shower.

After a few minutes "I think she has cool
down enough for me to handle." says Lynn

"Ok, Well I'm going to go see Jillian. If
you need any help holler" says Tara.

"I'm going there too." says Abel.

They left but not before they hear "Lynn
get me out of this shower, Now!" A sting of curse
words that follow them out the door.



Jillian walks out of the bathroom. "Why are you
here?" she asks Wufei coldly

"You pass-out." he answer. "I'm the one who saw you."

"Where are Abel, Lynn, Tara, and Louren?" she asks,
again her voice is cold.

"In the garden, Louren seems to have gotten drunk"
he say. *Weak.* he thinks.

Jillian only response is her eyes get wider.

*I guess Louren getting drunk is a very rare thing.*
he thinks. He takes the notebook off the bed.
"What so importance about this address?" he asks

"Where did you get that?" again her eyes get wide.

"You wrote it down." he answers.

"While I had that headaches?" she asks.

"Yes, it must have importance if you remember it
while in so much pain."

In a emotionless voice she say "My parents were
murdered there. That is were we lived."

Coldness ran up and down Wufei's back. "Your and
your sisters' parents were murdered?"

"No just mine. We not really sisters in that sense."

Again what she said bother him. "How old were
you?" he asks

"Four or Five years old" she answers.

"You're about 15 now?"

She nods

"How can you remember something like that after that
long of time?" he shakes the notebook.

"Oh there are ways to help a child remember." she says

The way she said everything in a monotone made Wufei asks,
"You were there? You witness that?"

Again she just nods.

He stare at her.

"Shocked aren't you? she asks "I knew you would not
understand."

*Should I tell her? Of course I'll leave out the part
about being a Gundam pilot. I'll just tell about
my wife and how I became a warrior. About how I was
a "soldier" in the war.* "I understand more then
you know." *or ever know.*

Abel and Tara walks into the room a few second after
Wufei finishes a short version of his story. "I'll
leave so your sisters can visit you." he says.

Lynn looks at her best friend shaking under the cold
water. You should have known better." Lynn says "You
are going to have one of Jillian's headaches tomorrow."
Lynn pulls Louren out of the shower and throw her on
to a chair that for some reason is in the room.
"That for cursing at me."

"I forgot how strong you are since you are the brain
of the group and always sitting at the computer."

"Why?" Lynn asks as she turn off the water.

"That seem to be a favorite question to asks me today."
answers Louren.

Lynn turns to her friend. "Why?"

"Why do I think that you...." says Louren

"No, I want to know the reason why you..."

"Do you really have to asks?!?" Louren stand
up and nearly fall on her face. Lynn catches her.

"Him?" says Lynn

"Can you help me to the bed?" asks Louren.

"That him?" Lynn lets Louren lean against her.
"The guy with the bang covering one of his eyes?
You got drunk because he is here?"

"Yes, no well yes." Louren say. She sit on the bed.
"Yes that is Trowa. No, well not really." She looks at
Lynn

"That the Trowa you meet at the circus and then had to leave."
Lynn says more then asks. ""What do you mean by 'no well not
really?'"

"I didn't drink because he is here. I said something to him
to pushes him away from me. So he would stop asking why."
She answers. "You understand don't you?"

"Yes I understand. Try to sleep. We have a job to do tomorrow.
I'll bring you some strong coffee in the morning."

Louren trys to sleep and her body beg her to let it sleep, but
her mind is full of thoughts. *No wonder, Lynn finds it hard
to believe that the Trowa she meet earlier is the same one I
told her about and once in a while still talked about. While
I told her about him I made him seem caring and not so silent.
Maybe I did get to know a little bit better then the other people
at the circus but... Haha he saved my life and since then I
was with him so I could pay him back. haha*

*I was on the high wire. It was about my third performance.*
Her mind wonder back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Louren is getting ready to perform. She walks out onto the wire.
*The wire feel funny tonight.* she thinks. *Ok that far enough.*
She does a back bend so she can walk on her hands. *Are my feet
slipping?* She asks. Her hands touch the wire. Her stomach
turns. *The wire...is greased! Ok hold on to the wire. If I
throw my legs over I won't risk my feet slipping anymore and out
from under me!* Grabbing tightly to the wire she bring her legs
over. *Just put your foot there and the other go ... NO!*
Her second foot slips making her loose the blance that she has.
She screams as the goes to the right of the wire. *I got to hold on.
I still have a grip on the wire. I can make it to the platform and
pull myself up.* She swing herself to the platform. Men start to
climb the ladder to the platform. She put her hand on the platform.
*My hands are covered with grease! There no way to get a grip so
I can pull myself up. I can't throw my legs up. There no way I
can get them over the platform.* A man make it to the top.

"Here take my hand." he says She takes his hand with one hand but
since her hands are grease up it starts to slip. She grab with the
other hand but it does not help. Realizing the he can't hold her
for long, the man starts to pull her up. But it's to late, her
hands slips. She has no where to go but down, and right into Trowa's
arms.

"She looks at him trying to catches her breath that she lost while
screaming. "Thank you." She swallow. "I can walk." He puts her
down but her legs fall out from under her. Trowa takes her back
into his arms.

"What happen?" he asks.

*This is the longest sentence he has said to me.* she thinks.
"The wire is greased. she answers.

He nods. As they pass the ring master Trowa rubs some of the
grease from Louren's hand into the ring master's hand. The older
man couldn't hide his shock.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Louren covers her face with a pillow and growls into it.
*Stop thinking about him! They never did find out who
did that and I never did pay Trowa back for saving my life.
During the time I spent with him I got to know him, become
his friend (where he called me his friend) and then I left
without saying good-bye. I have no choice! Stop thinking
about him! If he knew he would wish he never called you
his friend! I said stop thinking about him.* Louren rolls
over to put her face back into the pillow and growl.
