Gundam Wing: La Femmes
A Fanfic by Lady Lye
(c)2001
Rated for strong language on behalf of the characters. Remember- it's not the author w/ the potty mouth-it's her potty-mouthed characters.
Disclaimer: I do not own the whole GW thing... If I did I sure as h*ll wouldn't be here wasting my time writing fanfics about them- I'd be using them as my you-know-what slaves per my latest obsession. So don't try to sue me- it ain't worth it.
Note: rough translation for my rough use of Spanish can be found at the bottom of the chapter. This will include all previous phrases.
Oh yeah- you're not going crazy. I decided to try naming my chapters so that when I want to refer to something, I don't have to guess what chapter it's in. (that's kinda embarassing as the author...) If it bugs you, lemme know in the reveiw. If you can think of something better, let me know. They make sense to me- I hope they do for you. R&R!

Gundame: (pronunciation varies between gun-dum-eh and gun-dam-ay, but never gun-dame.) The mobile suits used by the five new girls. They are made of gundanium alloy but are coated with a newly developed substance making their shell even tougher than the gundams. Their pilots are known as the Dames.

Kyla and Raisa exchanged glances as they walked to Relena's office. Why had Hilde called them down there. They knocked on the closed door.
"Come in," Relena's voice called. She was sitting behind her desk, Hilde at her side, talking to- to-
"Duo!" Kyla cried and ran to him.
"Kyla!" his arms opened and enveloped her in a massive Shinigami-sized hug.
"Hello, Trowa," Raisa said, leaning against the door frame, happy just to look at him.
"Hello, Raisa," he didn't move either.
Hilde grinned like a mad thing. Relena surreptitiously coughed. "Trowa and Duo have come to talk to you about that… thing… you girls were planning."
"You told them?" Kyla stepped back, looking at Relena and Hilde in disbelief.
"We can trust them totally in all matters," Relena said calmly. "They've been my greatest friends. I trust them with my life."
"Kyla," Duo took her arm. "We need to talk about this. You don't know what you're getting into."
Kyla exchanged looks with Raisa. "What's to talk about?" the blond girl asked.
"What you're proposing to do is dangerous," Trowa told them. "We fought in the war- you girls have only seen one battle."
"We're not going anywhere to fight," Kyla said.
"Then where's the Thistle, Kyla?" Duo's eyes were stern.
"What business is it of yours where it is?" Kyla glanced at Trowa. He didn't know they had MS.
"I saw the trucks outside. You're going to take it with you, aren't you?"
"It's called being prepared. If I don't have to use it, I'll be more than grateful."
Trowa looked at Relena and Hilde in confusion, then at Raisa. His eyes asked the question.
Raisa stood up straight. 'No lies…' she thought, brushing her hair from her eyes. "Trowa- do you remember that battle in Sydney?" Relena has said they could trust them. She hoped she was right.
"Of course."
"There were five MS there, bigger and tougher than most suits, yes?"
"yes- how did you-"
"I was in one."
Kyla swallowed hard. She knew what Raisa was doing. 'Oh please, let it be the right choice. Please say we can trust these boys.' She felt a hand on her shoulder and saw that it was Duo, smiling encouragingly at her. She couldn't help smiling back.
Trowa gave this thought. Those voices over the Comm- they had indeed had a feminine ring to them. That would make perfect sense indeed. Perfect, perfect sense. "I take it the other girls were in the others?"
"Yes." Her heart was beating wildly. What if he rejected her now? What if he threatened to use the information against them? What if, what if?
"They call them 'gundame', Trowa," Duo said smugly.
"You knew?" Trowa blinked at him in surprise. Of all people DUO had known?
Duo shrugged in an off-hand manner. "Not like I couldn't sympathize."
"Why the different name?"
"They're better than gundams," Duo explained.
"What?" Trowa blinked and looked from Duo to Raisa to Kyla.
"They're coated with a top secret substance that strengthens the gundanium tenfold," Raisa told him quietly.
"Makes 'em shinier, too," Duo put in. Kyla rolled her eyes at him.
"Always joking…"
"That's what I do, babe."
"I find this a bit of a shock," Trowa shook his head.
"Would you like to see them?" Raisa offered.
"Very much so," he nodded and they all headed for the hanger. "I thought you abhorred weapons, Relena."
"I do. But I don't have a choice anymore. I need the Dames' help," Relena said honestly. "Besides, they're friends," she smiled at the other girls.
"I give you Gundame Whisper War," Raisa said as the hangar door opened.
Trowa's eyes bulged a little. It looked so much like their gundams. He shot a look at Duo, who shrugged, meaning they would discuss it later. "Where did you get this?" He walked forward to inspect it more closely.
"Madam Anthony gave them to us at the Keep," Kyla told him. "My Thistle Wing is being loaded up to go into Space," she looked at Duo.
"Well, if we're going to space, then we'd better get a move on, hmm?" he said nonchalantly.
"Huh?" Kyla's eyes widened.
"Duo was born on L2," Hilde told her, trying very hard not to laugh at her old friend's attitude. "he knows it like the back of his hand."
"Better," He smiled, remembering old times.
Kyla frowned at that smile. What was in his past? "So you think you can help."
"I KNOW I can help."
"You should go, Duo," Relena agreed. "Duo's expert at this sort of thing."
"Fine then," Kyla smiled. "It'll be less boring this way for sure."
"That's the spirit!" he threw an arm around her shoulder. "L2, watch out!"
Raisa had shown Trowa the way into the cockpit. She sat on the open door, swinging her legs while he looked around.
"Interesting- you have wireless internet access in here?"
"Couldn't live without it," she replied. "All the gundame have them."
"That makes sense that you call yourselves the Dames, then," he sat down next to her. "Why did you decide to do this, Raisa?"
She pulled up her legs, hugging her knees to her chest. "I guess because it took me from being a homeless peasant to someone with a real mission in life. I have a purpose that I really believe in. What else would I live for?"
Trowa let silence stretch between them. He and the other pilots had been tossed about so much in the war. Sides shifting and changing… how simple it would have been to just have one ultimate mission from the outset, rather than having to come to the realization that all any of them wanted was peace.
Raisa stared into space before looking at him again. They didn't really know each other. But it felt so good just talking to him. She resettled herself, letting her legs hang down again and leaning back against her hands that propped her up, enjoying this new feeling of security. She opened her eyes, startled, when she felt his touch on her hand.
Green eyes met blue, and nothing else seemed to matter.
