Heero's Mistake

Part 5

Written By BrittanyRae

The thunder clashed out side Hallie Johnson's window waking her up. She looked outside and watched the lightning flash. The time on her clock was 4:31 a.m. Hallie sighed and climbed back under the covers trying to fall back asleep. Today her father had to go to another meeting and as always she had to go along. She loved her father but he was so over protective. Ever since he'd been elected president of the United States of America he'd gotten worse. The secret service followed her everywhere. Now that Relena Peacecraft was missing her father had been busier than ever. Leaders from every country in the world were now voting on who should take her place as Ruler of the World and President Johnson was determined to make sure they didn't assign another "kid". He didn't hate Relena; he just felt she was too inexperienced for the job of Queen of the World. Hallie sighed again and this time she climbed out of bed. She put on a pair of flare blue jeans and a pastel yellow sweatshirt that was three sizes to big. Instead of putting her hair up like she did every time she was going to be on television she let her curly dark brown hair down. There, she was dressed totally differently than the world usually saw her. Hallie slipped on a pair of black and white Adidas sandals and opened her bedroom door. No one was awake yet. Quietly she snuck to the front door and placed a note on a side table.

Dear Mom,

Sorry to run away and worry you like this. I couldn't take it any more. Dad was being too over protective. It was like he was trying to take over my life. I'll be fine. Please don't send the Secret Service after me; I'll come home when I'm ready. I just wanted adventure so badly. You can explain to Dad however you think it best; you know him and his temper.

I love you Mom.

Your daughter,

Hallie

Hallie opened the door and made her getaway. With the little money she'd taken with her she bought a ticket and flew off to the L2 colony where she spent a good deal of her childhood. Hallie remembered living in the Maxwell Church Orphanage before the Johnson's adopted her. She even remembered farther back than that when she and a group of kids used to steal on the streets and from a local military base. Her best friend was a kid who called himself "Kuro Shinigami" because he didn't know his real name. Kuro was only a year older than she was and he was like a big brother to her. After the Johnson's adopted her she never saw Kuro or the Maxwell Church again. Hallie smirked, back then she'd gone by her real name, Virginia. Hallie was one year old when her parents and big brother Jade died. That night the house caught on fire and Jade rescued her but she'd inhaled a lot of smoke and passed out shortly after they got out of the house. When she woke up Jade was gone and a lot of strange people were looking at her. Most people didn't remember things that happened when they were one but Hallie couldn't forget that. Unfortunately in the event she'd somehow acquired a small case of amnesia. She couldn't ever remember her mother or father. Jade was just there; she couldn't remember what he looked like or his personality. It was all shadows. Worst of all she couldn't remember her real last name so there was no hope of looking for family. Suddenly Hallie was knocked back to reality as she collided into something and fell to the ground.

"Sorry babe, I wasn't watchin' where I was goin'." The guy said as he helped Hallie to her feet.

"No that's okay I should have been paying better attention."

"Hey are you from around here?" he asked.

"I used to live here but now I live in America."

"Oh, say what's you name?" the guy continued.

"Virginia." She said truthfully.

"Virginia what?" he pressed.

"Err- Smith." She lied.

"Hey your soaking wet, here follow me my wife Hilde can lend you some clothes."

Hallie was always told not to go with strangers but she'd spent half of her life on the streets and this guy seemed friendly enough. Besides she was getting cold from her wet clothes so she went with him. The guy took her to a cute little apartment and showed her where everything was. Then he went downstairs.

************************************************************************************

"Hey Hilde we have a guest for dinner tonight. Says her name is Virginia."

"Okay Duo, I accidentally made too much anyway."

"You know I have this strange feeling that I know that girl from somewhere?"

"Hmm…maybe she went to the orphanage with you?" Hilde suggested.

"I'll ask her during dinner." To himself he added, "I wonder, could she be Ginny?"

************************************************************************************

Hallie came down the stairs changed into a pair of dark blue flares and a white long sleeved belly shirt. She still left her hair down so that her face would be somewhat hidden.

"So Virginia where did you live here on L2?" Duo asked.

"Oh, I lived in an orphanage at the Maxwell Church." She answered.

"Really? I used to live there-before it was blown up."

The color drained from Hallie's face,

"It- blew- up?"

"Oh, you were adopted before then weren't you? Otherwise you would have gotten killed like the other kids."

"How did you escape?"

"Well…"

Duo told Hallie the whole story about the explosion at Maxwell Church and the deaths of Sister Helen and Father Maxwell. Then he told her something else,

"That's when I took the last name of Maxwell. You see Duo Maxwell isn't my real name. I took the name Duo when my good friend Solo died to show we'd always be a duo. I took the last name Maxwell in honor of Father Maxwell and the Maxwell Church."

"What's your real name?" Hallie asked curiously.

"I don't know but I used to go by the name Kuro Shinigami."

Hallie's jaw dropped in shock and she just stared. Was it true?

"You're Kuro?" she asked.

"Yep, long time no see Ginny-Chan." Duo grinned calling Hallie by the nickname he gave her when they were kids. "Now if I'm not mistaken Smith isn't your last name."

Hallie grinned,

"Nope, I was adopted by a couple with the last name of Johnson- not Smith."

"Yes and they renamed you Hallie I am I right?"

"Darn- how could you tell it was me?"

"Hallie I spent most of my life as a thief- I can see through disguises with my eyes closed."

"True…"

"Hey Hallie I'll make you a bet I bet you when the other guys see you they don't recognize that you're the president's daughter."

"How much?"

"Umm…Fifty bucks."

"Your on!"

Beep! Beep!

"Darn- Hilde, Hallie, I gotta go. The guys are holding a meeting at the Preventers' Headquarters."

"Actually I better get going too- a spy's gotta do what a spy's gotta do." Hilde added.

"Duo, take me to Preventers' Headquarters with you. This is a chance to see who wins that bet. I'll go in my disguise like this and we'll see just how observant the g-boys are."

"Okay."

************************************************************************************

"Hey everyone!" Duo greeted the g-gang as he and Hallie walked in.

"What's she doing here?" asked Wufei suspiciously.

"She's a friend of mine from before Maxwell Church blew up."

"So…?"

"Oh…she wants to sign up with the Preventers."

Hallie kept her head down and looked at her feet as though she was shy. She let Duo do most of the talking and when Sally asked how old she was Hallie answered in a fake British accent,

"Eighteen."

"What's your name?" asked Noin.

"Virginia," Hallie told her in the fake accent.

Trowa smirked,

"Nice to meet you Miss Hallie Johnson."

Hallie grinned and turned towards Duo dropping the shy look,

"Okay- I win cough up the fifty! You really ought to know the pilots better than that."

Duo pouted and handed Hallie fifty dollars. Then Hallie turned back to the crowd,

"Actually my real first name is Virginia the Johnson's changed my name to Hallie when they adopted me. I don't know my real last name though."

Heero continued leaning against the wall but turned his head to look at the girl; she had intense Prussian blue eyes- like his own, dark curly brown hair- the same color as his own, and she had the same name as his little sister. Apparently Quatre was thinking the same thing as Heero because he asked,

"Where were you originally from? How did your parents die?"

"I used to live in Tokyo, Japan-my parents and older brother were killed when the house burnt down- I was only one year old then."

Now Heero stood up and walked over to Hallie,

"What was you brother's name?"
"Jade, why?" she asked confused.

"That's my real name, my parents were murdered when the house burnt down, I had a younger sister named Virginia." He said casually.

Hallie's eyes widened and she looked at Heero in shock,

"You don't think…are you…my brother…Jade?"

"The only way to know for sure is a blood test but it does look that way," Heero said with out emotion.

"I can do a blood test right now." Noin volunteered.

"All right." Heero replied.

About five minutes later it was verified, Hallie Johnson was really Virginia Yuy- Heero's long lost sister. She was also the newest member of the Preventers: signed on as a spy. That afternoon Heero told everyone what he learned at the mansion- everything except about the kid Relena was carrying. The Gundam pilots knew better though,

"Heero what are you hiding?" Duo pressed.

"Nothing."

"It's about Relena isn't it Heero?"

"None of your business." Heero turned his back to the group.

"What is it Heero? You have to tell us everything in order for us to save her." Trowa calmly told Heero.

Heero kept his back to the group but gave in and answered,

"Relena's pregnant. This man plans to get rid of all the Yuy's once and for all. He doesn't know Hallie's alive so he considers the child and myself the last of the Yuy's."

Suddenly Hallie's knees gave in and she collapsed to the floor shaking…

Author's Note: Okay let me answer a few questions,

1.) Why didn't Heero shoot the man at the mansion on the spot? Heero didn't shoot the man while he was at the mansion because he didn't want to put Relena's life on the line. He wasn't sure how well prepared the man was and he figured he had already caused Relena enough trouble. Then he found out about the kid and was to surprised to think of shooting the man.

2.) Is this a continuation of Fight of a Lifetime?

No, even though there are some of the same- Azalea and Hallie for example- this is a different fic and in no way a continuation. One way this is shown is that in Heero's mistake the characters Heero, Relena, Duo, ect. are currently 19. When Fight of a Lifetime ended those characters were about 25. The reason there are some of the same characters is this: the characters Hallie, Holly, Amy, Azalea, Zech's Junior, Alex, ect. are all mine and I tend to use them in almost all of my fics.

Thanks a million for your questions! If you have any more I'll be pleased to answer them. Now I know this chapter might seem to be getting away from the plot but like the plot of gundam wing my plot has several twists and turns. It will all come together in the end. Make sure you Review!
