"Where am I?"

"You're in my wonderful abode! Do you know how long you were asleep?" The young man's green eyes twinkled. "So, what's your name soldier?"

"My name ..." he murmured. "What is it?" he asked himself quietly.

"You don't remember your own name? Man, that sucks."

"Soldier?" He kept on thinking about his past, but his mind simply drew a blank.

"Sure. I found you out on the battlefield, just _laying_ there. You're still in your uniform." He gestured towards his clothes. "Well, _my_ name's Sean Pearl. I'm a soldier, too."

The man's brow furrowed. "How old are you?"

"Me? I'm eighteen, why?"

"You look too young to be a soldier."

"Too young?" Sean chuckled. "My brother joined the service when he was sixteen. And the Gundam pilots-prime examples. They were _fifteen_, but I've heard that they began training when they were little." Sean smirked and ruffled his black hair. "I guess I just wanted to do something for my country-for peace." (AN: Think Darien or Mamoru or whatever from SM with emerald green eyes instead of blue. Hot, huh?)

"Well, Sean," he said, trying at least to sound cheerful. "I wish I could, but I don't remember a single thing."

"Oh boy. Isn't this just peachy? I mean, I'm not responsible enough for this." They sat in silence for a few minutes. "Lieutenant Noin!"

"Huh?"

"If you were a soldier on our side, you're sure to have blood samples or DNA or something on record. And, by looking at your unifrom, you have a much higher rank than me-I'll bet a colonel-so there's a chance she or Lt. Peacecraft might know you personally! Am I a genius or am I a genius?"

Sighing, the older man let his head fall back onto the overstuffed pillow. Suddenly, a blue-eyed golden angel filled his vision, as if beckoning to him. He sat up with a start, breathing heavily and eyes closed.

"Whoa, sir, you okay?"

Prussian blue eyes met Emerald green.

"Fine," he practically growled.

"Well, _excuse me_ for saving your _life_! I was just a little concerned."

The older man sat there for a while, just thinking. "Thank you," he whispered. 'I don't know why but I have a feeling I was _meant_ to live, for something or someone ...' With those thoughts, he laid back down and dreamt of his ocean-eyed angel.

Short, yes I know. You better be happy I scrounged up some time to do this-on my weekend! I had the prologue and some of the first part done but my damn computer screwed it up. User-friendly my ass! Um .. the mystery unfolds. Stay tuned or my Chibi-Heero will sic you ... not that some of you won't mind ...
