The Everlasting Story
Chapter 6: Forever Gone
Two days later, Quatre walked into the hall of the mansion in the Sanc Kingdom.
Funny, he had expected some kind of greeting. But no one came to greet him. He walked in.
"Hello, is anyone here?" Quatre asked loudly. The sound echoed through the small corridor. Duo walked through the door on the other side of the hall.
"Quatre! You're back already." He said. He sounded strange, like he didn't want him back. Quatre looked closer at him. Duo looked tired, like he hadn't been sleeping.
"Duo, what's wrong? It's Trowa, isn't it? What's going on?" Quatre asked. Duo look at him sadly.
"Trowa's gone. He didn't tell anyone where he was going. We're trying to find him, and he's got us all really worried. Even Wufei is out looking for him.." Duo explained. Midii entered the hallway. She looked sad. Quatre looked at Duo, dumb-struck. Why would Trowa leave so suddenly? It wasn't like him to leave without telling anyone.
"You heard... Sad, isn't it? I wish he'd come back home, but he told me he isn't coming back at all.." Midii told Quatre. Quatre stared at her in disbelief. Trowa, gone?
"Can't be.. Not Trowa? Trowa can't go. No. Oh, no." Quatre whispered.
Quatre suddenly started crying. Midii walked away. Duo put a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, cheer up. We're doing all we can. We've been looking for him ever since he left, but he took his Gundam and all of his belongings.." Duo told him. Quatre looked at Duo.
"We're gonna find him, right?" Quatre asked. Duo nodded.
"We'll find him, Quatre." Duo said quietly.
I hope we can.. Duo thought to himself. He sighed and walked away, Quatre following.
Trowa, where are you? Quatre wondered in his head, wondering if somehow he'd be able to just know. Sometime soon, if he could just know, he wanted it to be soon. Quatre hung his head.
He looked up briefly as he spotted Heero coming into the room.
"I've found something. A check in for one Trowa Barton at a motel on the Colony X18999, in the L3 Cluster." Heero announced. Quatre brightened.
"You found him! Let's go get him!" Quatre cried out happily.
"Wait-a-minute. There? Isn't that where we fought-" Duo started, but Heero cut him off.
"Yeah," Heero said, "There."
"But we found him. At least.." Quatre said, relieved.
"There's no way of telling whether or not he'll still be there when we get there," Heero said, "Don't get your hopes up, Quatre... Just a warning."
Quatre looked up at Heero, and to Heero he looked like a little kid, waiting for something no one guaranteed would come.
Meanwhile, on Colony X18999 in the L3 Cluster...
Trowa finally finished putting away the food he had gone to the store to get. He sighed and looked around. He still wasn't used to being alone. He looked down at the clock by the bed. 10'o clock PM. He set the alarm for 5 AM and went to bed.
Later that night...
Trowa jumped up. There was a knock on the door. He pulled on his jeans and a shirt and went to answer the door. He was still half-asleep, but he opened the door and woke up immediately.
"Trowa?" A voice asked from the darkness. Trowa looked into the darkness. It was Quatre.
"Quatre? What are you doing here?" Trowa asked him, "Come in." Quatre did. In the light, Trowa could see that Quatre hadn't gotten a lot of sleep.
"You weren't going to come back, were you?" Quatre asked. Trowa was surprised.
"No, I wasn't." Trowa answered. Quatre looked at him with tears in his eyes. Trowa suddenly felt very, very bad about leaving. "I wasn't ever going to come back.." Trowa felt very guilty.
"I didn't think so.. You would have told someone if you were coming back.. Why did you go away?" Quatre asked, a single silver tear sliding down his face.
"I needed some time to think about what path I'm gonna take.. It kind of came to me just now, when you came here.. The path I'm gonna take is to continue to fight with you guys.. But, why'd you bother coming to find me?" Trowa told him. Quatre looked at him, a bit startled that Trowa obviously thought that they shouldn't have looked for him.
"Trowa, you're my friend.. Of course I came to look for you!" Quatre said. Trowa looked sad all of a sudden. Quatre wondered why.
"I don't have any friends." Trowa said quietly.
"You don't think you do.. But, Trowa, you have at least six really good friends.. Me, Duo, Heero, Wufei, Cathrine, and Miss Noine. We all rwally care about you, Trowa." Quatre insisted. Trowa looked up at him with tears in his eyes.
"You really care about me that much?" Trowa asked. Quatre nodded, and he added, "Well, you shouldn't."
"Why not, Trowa?" Quatre asked. He didn't understand. Why shouldn't he care about Trowa?
"I could go on for a couple of days about that, but I won't." Trowa replied sarcastically.
"What? Trowa, what's wrong?" Quatre asked him. Trowa shook his head, meaning that Quatre wasn't getting something.
What's going on, Trowa? Tell me... Quatre silently pleaded. He sat down on a chair, as Trowa was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"You'd better get going." Trowa advised his confused friend.
"Why, Trowa?" Quatre asked.
"OZ knows I'm here. I bet I can guess who their spy was.." Trowa said, "I didn't figure it out until a while ago, but Midii's spying for OZ. She's betrayed me again. I can also take a lucky guess at what the transmitter is.." Quatre was a little shocked. Midii had acted so concerned when Trowa had dissappeared. Of course, Quatre realized, she was worried she wouldn't be able to find him. She was afraid to fail.
"You mean?" Quatre asked. Trowa nodded.
"Her necklace is the transmitter." Trowa replied, "It was the same before, when she tricked me.. Now, it's personal." Trowa looked very menacing, very angry. Quatre sighed.
"Get a grip, Trowa. Don't get so angry all the time." Quatre told him. Trowa looked at him again.
"I'll get mad if I want to." Trowa said. He sighed and fell backwards onto the bed, grabbing a pillow and holding it, then tossing it at Quatre.
Quatre picked it up from the floor, where it had bounced to after hitting him in the face. Grinning, Quatre tossed it back at Trowa, but Trowa grabbed it in mid-air. Trowa threw the pillow back to Quatre, grinning a little bit.
"Trowa.. Feeling better now?" Quatre asked, recovering from being hit on the head by the pillow. Trowa nodded slowly.
"I think so... Let's get out of here." Trowa advised, picking up his bag and proceeding to toss all of his worldly goods into it.
Later on, Quatre and Trowa return to Sanc...
Trowa walked up to where Midii stood.
"You betrayed me again." He observed. She looked regretful.
"I did.. Look, I really needed the money, Nanashi.." She told him. He glared at her coldly.
"I don't care how much you needed that money. You were supposed to be my friend. And don't call me Nanashi. It's Trowa now." He said in a cold voice that made Midii shiver. Whether with fright or cold or his tone of voice she didn't know for sure. Trowa looked down at her. Down, because at 5'9" he was the tallest in the room. Midii, who was only 5'5", was small in comparison. He pointed at the door.
"Huh?" She asked, uncomprehending.
"Go. And I don't ever want to see your face again." He told her.
She walked away, taking one last look at her Nanashi, then left.
And Trowa collapsed in tears.
A/N: How's that for an ending? That was my favorite chapter-ending out of the whole story. Anyway, next chapter is the last one! Whoo-hoo! Umm, stay tuned for Chapter 7: Crossing Wires, the final part of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing The Everlasting Story 1. Oh, please e-mail me and tell me if you want me to write Mobile Suit Gundam Wing The Everlasting Story 2! Arigato!
