"Why do you want to fight when you know you could die?" a tiny Hotaru asked her new friend. "You're not going to leave me like Daddy, are you?"
"Hotaru," Heero said quietly. "I'm sorry…about him."
"It's okay," Hotaru said, spinning the gun on the floor of Heero's apartment, he once shared with Lowe, with a stick she had found. "Why do you want to fight when you know you could die?" she asked again.
"Because I don't care," Heero said. "There's not much of a difference between dying and living except that one hurts more. And that one is not dying."
"That's sad," Hotaru said, spinning the gun faster.
"No it's not," Heero said, smiling. (omg!!! Yes…and not the crazy "Now you DIE!" smile…) "Because when I die, I'm going to become the wind. And I'm going to plague the earth with my howls, but never touch the colonies. They will not suffer with my presence."
"Yes," Hotaru said. "And then you'll be around forever."
She took away the stick but the gun continued to spin, faster and faster.

Hotaru woke with cold sweat. 'Why…why do I still dream of him? He is the enemy of the colonies. He hates me because I killed thousands, but so did he. I hate him because…because I tell myself I do, and I never tell myself a lie. Ever since I was three, I trained to fight with him, but when I am strong enough to, he leaves, sides against the White Fang and now is the savior of the earth. It's over. General Tajinu gave the orders of execution to me and now it is over. I'm the only one now. It has been seven months since Mina left because she said she had fallen for an enemy, 04, and couldn't stay loyal for long. It has been only two days since Lita left, because of her beliefs, and because of 02. Still, I stay, and I fight, and I will always be alone.'

Heero sat on the floor of the living room floor at 2:00 a.m. He had his eyes glued on the tiny glowing screen of his beloved laptop. From the couch, Duo yawned and moved slightly. He would have been in bed, but Lita had fallen asleep on him and he couldn't bring himself to walking her up.
"So Heero," he said quietly. "Pulling an all-niter so you can find that beloved 'Destruction' of yours?"
"Hn," Heero said. "Why do you care?"
"Oi," Duo said. "Of course I care when you like our number one enemy. And not cause she's our enemy…it's just that YOU like someone!"
"I didn't say that," Heero said.
"Yes," Duo corrected. "You did."
"Hn," Heero said as he went back to typing. 'He wouldn't get it. No one would. I don't.'
"Oh no," Duo said in mock surprise. "I've been hn-ed…I feel so rejected. I'm going to sit the corner and shiver with fear…or at least I would."
"Why don't you take her upstairs?" Heero asked, although seeming more like a command. Not an ounce of emotion slipped out of his mouth with the words.
"Okay," Duo said, lifting Lita easily and carrying her to her bedroom.
'That should keep him gone,' Heero thought, typing even faster now, putting all his strength toward one goal, finding the enemy, no matter who the enemy may be.
"Working hard?" a voice asked, making Heero jump and spin around, pointing his gun at the intruder.
"Eeep," Duo said, backing away. "Sorry. I know it pretty early but I'm hungry."
Heero looked at the time. '7:12. But it was 2:00 just ten minutes ago.'

Trowa sat in the library, his nose buried in a mythology book, reading about the Goddess of Mercury. She who bears wisdom and who rules the seas. He found her quite interesting.
"So do I," said a short girl with blue hair. Trowa jumped up. "I also find her interesting," she repeated.
"How did you know…" Trowa said.
"You ummmm…" Amy blushed. "You said it out loud. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be listening."
"No," Trowa said. "Don't be."
Amy grabbed a book and sat on the opposite side of the library, although she spent less time reading and more time stealing glances at Trowa, but Trowa did the same.
'She looks so cute when she pretends to read. But I shouldn't think that. I need to use logic. A beautiful girl suddenly decides to help me and stay with me. This could be a trap. She could be using us. Damn logic.'
'He looks so cute when he's lost in though. I guess being alone went to my head. I'm more logical than this. He's the first person I've seen in a long time. I shouldn't have helped him. But I did. And I don't regret it. Should I? Damn Logic.'

"WuFei!" a voice shouted out. He turned around to see a blond girl running towards him, out of breath.
"What's wrong, Onna?" WuFei asked.
"Your gundam! Duo! PINK!" Bunny shouted.
"KUSO!" WuFei shouted, jumping up from the ground on the last word and running into the hanger, with Bunny at his heals. When he ran in he saw that nothing was out of place, and the color pink has yet to be found anywhere on, near, or around Altron.
"What the--" WuFei said when he noticed everything was in order, he turned to see Bunny standing the doorway smirking.
She sighed, flipping one of the streamers over her shoulder. "Did anyone ever tell you cute you are when you panic?"
WuFei first though was to blush, but he quickly pushed away the urge. In stead he grabbed his kantana and began to chase her around the house. Bunny laughing madly and WuFei, still trying not to blush.

There was a knock on the door. Quatre got up from his seat on the couch to answer it. To his surprise, there stood Mina, drenched the falling rains. He quickly pulled her inside. She was shivering. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"Watch out!" she yelled. "There's a traitor living amongst you!"

Well…kinda a cliffhanger…but I've read worse…hope you r/r…even just to tell me it sucked…cuz those are funny!!! ^-^…sorry it took so long…again…oh well…I like chocolate…do you like chocolate?
The Unyielding Wish- Magic Knight Rayearth
Hold onto that dream!
Tomorrow knows where and when
It's true--what you believe
Don't let go--the road will never end!
The sunset melts into the deep blue sea
It turns a crimson shade
A wonderful free fall
I just want to have the wind
Take me faraway
I've cleared impossible hurdles before,
But I know that there's more,
And I know I can make it
Who's to blame when it's not the best
That I can achieve?
Hold onto that dream!
Tomorrow knows where and when
It's true--what you believe
Don't let go--the road will never end!
Keep tryin' to believe
The biggest part of you—
And now you're ready to go!
How much longer do I have to cry
Before tomorrow's light?
A night full of sorrow
All at once I found today
I've finally hid my limits
I'm sure that when you are falling in love
It's just like blinking your eyes
Before you know it, it flies away!
I just want to learn how strong I can be
When I'm searching for love!
Hold onto that dream!
Tomorrow knows where and when
My lips're tightly sealed
But you can still see it in my eyes—
I've traveled down that road
And found the greater love
This time I know it is real!
I've cleared impossible hurdles before
But I know that there's more
And I know I can make it!
But when I got up to the starting line,
My legs were frozen with fear!
Hold onto that dream!
Tomorrow knows where and when
Reach out--unfold your arms
And take the key that opens up your heart!
Hold onto that dream!
Tomorrow knows where and when
It's true--what you believe
Don't let go--the road will never end!
Keep tryin' to believe
The biggest part of you—
And now you're ready to go!
