"The war is over. I am free. I have no regrets.
"Of course, I do wish that I could have finished the battle. That is what gets to me, but, I did what I had to do. I was surrounded. There were too many mobile suits. Too many. I couldn't get away. I couldn't escape. I had to do the right thing. That was the right thing, right? I had to sacrifice myself for the others. They would have died. I know they couldn't have taken them all. All I had to do was press a button. That's all. There was a rush of pain, then, nothing. Complete and utter…freeness. What else is there?
"I took them with me. That's all I needed to know. I am comforted by the fact that I did my part for the colonies. I am comforted by the fact that I fought. I comforted by that fact that justice was avenged. I am comforted by the fact that I saved.
"Then again, I also killed.
"I had to take those men with me. It was either let them live and I would die to leave them to destroy my comrades, or, self-destruct and take most of them into eternity with me. There were just too many…
"But, I am not nearly as brave or heroic as Quatre. He went in there…he went in and blew up the base. He caused the end of the war. He made that final decision. He chose to kill himself if it meant the end to this fighting. He just wanted it to end. He just needed it to be over. He wanted peace…he wanted to be happy.
"I guess that's how I feel now…
"Pure and utter happiness…
"I'm here, in heaven…
"…with you."
Wufei looked at his wife. Her face shined with pride. Her almond eyes looked lovingly at her husband. After years, they were finally reunited. They could love each other for an eternity.
The girl leaned over and touched Wufei's chest, on his heart.
"You've always had a beautiful heart, Wufei." She whispered.
Wufei held her close to him, breathing in deeply the smell of her black hair. When she was alive, Wufei remembered how she always kept it up in a tight bun, but, now, it hung loosely around her shoulders.
It was she who had been his guardian…he almost didn't recognize her at first, but, when she smiled, he knew. She embraced him and cleansed him of his fears. The blood that he felt dampening his face was suddenly wiped away, and he was clothed in a white robe, and tears of joy filled both of their eyes when they kissed.
And now, Wufei sat with his wife. No one could part them…death had already tried.
It was amazing. The change of attitude that came over Wufei when he was with his wife. It was the years of training that had hidden his soul deep within the war.
Then, Wufei thought of Sally Po.
"You wanted to love her."
Wufei looked up at his wife. He thought this over, then, sheepishly nodded.
She smiled. "I know." She said. "It is normal…" She lifted Wufei's chin so he met her eyes. "I knew that you would never stop loving me."
Wufei took his wife's face in his hands and kissed her gently with the love he had held in over the years.
"I love you."
The girl nodded. She understood the full meaning…and Wufei had an eternity to spend, reassuring her of the fact.
Wasn't that cute? Now, onto the final chapter…--
