In case you didn't know, i don't own gundam wing or any of the characters.
I think that about covers the disclaimer. Oh yeah, there might be
sexual content (not this perticular chapter, but later on) and use of
bad words. So if you don't like that kind of stuff you might not want
to read it. This is my first attempt at a fanfic so please, oh please
tell me what you think. I'ld love to hear any comments, good or bad.
Thanks for taking the time to read this much, and hope you like. ^_^
Falling from the Sky: Prologue
~ The clock had just struck one; Abby was getting ready to
go home after a long night's work, only waiting on the
others to finish. She was tired and her feet ached from
standing all night. Despite what the customers apparently
thought, waitressing was not an easy job. She had only made
forty-six dollars that night and was not at all pleased with
it. She hated her job, but she hated her life more. Her
job sucked, her parents were always fighting, her boyfriend
had dumped her this afternoon for her mortal enemy, and she
and her best friend were at it again. /Why can't I just be
whisked off into some story book land. That would be great,
and maybe I could meet some really handsome guy, fall
hopelessly in love, and live happily ever after. No
worries, no cares. To bad that kind of stuff doesn't really
happen. / Abby stared into the pitch-black sky while she
waited to end another miserable day in the fucked up reality
she called life.
Abby ran out to her car trying to escape the rain. The
rain soaked her as she dropped her keys in a pothole.
Retrieving her keys from the puddle, she got in her car and
drove out of the parking lot. She could barely see out of
her windshield making it nearly impossible to drive. All of
a sudden the car started to go all over the road as she lost
control. She tried to stop it from fish tailing with no
luck. She went right through the rusted guardrails of the
bridge. She was certain that she was going to die; in a
last ditch effort she jumped out of the car, but before she
could hit the water a bright blue light flashed under her.
She still felt herself falling but it was no longer
nighttime and she was very, very high up now. The vertigo
kept her from seeing much of anything as she fell, but out
of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a huge mass
of darkness flying toward her. After that her vision left
her as she spiraled down into the void of unconsciousness.

~ Duo had just finished destroying three Aries mobile suits
when the bright blue flash of light appeared over him. He
noticed something fall out of the light, too small to be
part of the wreckage. He checked his monitors and screen to
see if he could get a better view of it.
"What is this, some kind of new oz weapon? Wait a
minute. What the hell, that's not a weapon. It's a
person!"
He flew down to intercept the body before it hit the
water. The gigantic metal hand caught the limp body gently,
careful not to harm the fragile form. He flew towards the
nearest stretch of land, a small deserted island.
Duo landed on the island about ten minutes later. He
jumped out of the hatch and ran over to the hand of his
mecha that was resting on the ground. The small load it
carried was curled up, shivering and looking pitiful. Duo
noticed it was just a young girl. She was still unconscious
so Duo carefully lifted her body into his arms and carried
her to a small clearing. He laid her down on the ground and
set about the task of gathering firewood. In only a few
moments he had a small fire going. He set down beside her
and noticed that her clothes were thoroughly soaked. /That
won't do. She's gonna catch pneumonia if I leave her in
those. / He gently lifted her up in his arms and started to
remove her clothing. As he went about his task he tried to
keep his eyes on her face, which wasn't an easy task. After
all, he was a teenage boy and it wasn't every day that he
had a half-naked girl lying in his arms. She had short light
brown hair that fell around her small, round face in
different layers. He couldn't tell what her eyes looked
like, but he did notice her really pale complexion. When
she was nearly naked he stripped off his own shirt and
wrapped it around her. He then went back to Deathscythe to
find a blanket.
The long eyelashes parted slowly. Abby's body ached and,
for a minute, she couldn't figure out why. Then she
remembered. falling. She couldn't remember anything else.
She sat straight up and looked at her surroundings. /Where
am I? I don't remember seeing any place like this before.
Am I dead? / As she looked around she saw that she was
surrounded by trees. Not only that, but everything looked
strange, almost like it wasn't real. When she looked down
at her own body, she saw that she was only wearing a black
button up shirt. Her clothes were piled up not far from
were she sat.
"Good, you're awake," a voice from behind her said. She
turned sharply around to see to whom the voice belonged.
Her gaze immediately fell on two violet orbs placed in the center
of a heart-shaped face.
