"I'm sorry I forgot your name already.." Wufei said.. "What was it again?"

"Trowa.." he said.

"And you're the ghost of christmas present?" Wufei asked.

"Yes." Trowa said brushing some lint off of his cape and pulling a bottle of wine from inside Wufei's bedchamber desk. 'Mind if I have some?"

"Yes I do." Wufei said. "That's vrey expensive wine."

"Too bad.." Trowa said taking 2 large gulps out of the bottle.

"you're a whole lot different then Quatre." Wufei said..

"Yeah. Quatre's a whole lot nicer then me.. and Zechs is a hell of a lot worse then me." he said

"Who?" Wufei asked.

" nevermind." Trowa said opening the window and finishing the wine. "We have things to see." And they both disapeared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where are we?" Wufei asked. They were in front of a large victorian house with red shutters.

"The Yuy house." Trowa said.

"Heero?" Wufei asked runnning up to the window... "It's been so long!"

He could see his former bestfriend sitting in a chair by the fire. A glass of brandy in his hand. A small child came down the stairs. The color of the child's eyes were idencial to heero's but they were shaped like almonds and the girls hair was a black and shiny as silk..

"Papa.." the girl said. "When can I open my presents?"

"As soon as your mother comes down, Angelina.." Heero said patting his daughter's head..

"Heero got married?" Wufei asked. 'But he loved Relena!"

"He couldn't stay alone forever. His father insisted he ahd to be married to inherit the family fortune." Trowa said. 'So he married. The closest girl to his heart. She also had a broken heart and would have married another had he not broken her heart."

A beautiful woman came down the stairs and Wufei felt his eyes burn with tears..

"No!" he yelled. 'Not Meiren!!!!"

"Meiren, had no one and Heero wanted nobody but a wife. So they married because they had no other options." he said...."Angelina is their only child so far. But they're trying to have a son.."

"So Heero still loves Relena?" Wufei asked the tall spirit..

"Yes, he always will. And Meiren will always love you.." he answered... "Let's go.. We have much more to see."

Wufei took one last look at Heero, Meiren and Angelina. Angelina was busily ripping the paper off of gifts, Heero was standing by the fire place glass in his hand looking lovingly at a photo on the mantle and Meiren sat in a chair. Watching her child while tears blazed in her eyes like the flames in the fire.

"What's this little shack?" Wufei asked. "I would no nobdy in this state of manner."

"Yes, you do." Trowa said. "Just watch."

Hilde checked the small chicken in the pot over the fire. It was not enough to fill her family's stomachs but it was enough to be sufficient. She had 3 children. 2 girls and a boy...

Her daughter: Dorothy and Sally sat the table while looking lovingly at their new dresses she had sewn and her son Tiny Tim looked at his new crutch that Duo had made for him. Her dear brother Duo.. He was a kind person and so giving and yet he didn't have enough to give. Without him Hilde adn teh children would be on the street but... it was not to be. Duo scooped them all up from the shelter and brought them to his house to live.

The door open and along with a mound of snow came her older brother..

"Uncle Duo!" Sally said hugging her uncle..

"hello uncle Duo." Dorothy said setting the last plate on the table...

"Merry Christmas everybody." Duo said. "And Hilde look what I brought home.."

"200 pounds?" hilde joked....

'No but close.. I got 2..." Duo said putting the coins in his sister's hands also I was behind the coal cart so I got 7 lumps of coal. He then set them in the coal bucket.

"Well wash those dirty hands." Hilde said...

Duo did as told and Hilde set the small chicken and vedgetables on the table.

"Let's eat!" Dorothy said.

'No kids. We must wait for your brother." he said.

"I'm coming Uncle Duo." Tim said standing up and beginning to hobble over.

Duo got up then picked his nephew up. he set him in the chair beside him....

"Thankyou Uncle.." Tim said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What's wrong with the child?" Wufei asked.

"he's crippled.... He's a very sick child. Maybe if you had paid Duo more then maybe he would be able to walk like any normal child." Trowa said coldly glaring daggers at Wufei...
