Gundam Wing: La Femmes
A Fanfic by Lady Lye

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.

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.

Battle Chapter: Bloodied Thorn (Part Five)
Isa's mind detached itself from her body, which continued to fight. What did she know about the war and those pilots who had fought in it? That there had been five of them, certainly… Names, names, she needed to remember names… No, they had never been told their names… Madam Anthony had said that no one knew them. But characteristics, those she had… All boys… some more distinct than others… She tried to picture them in her mind. But the last she had seen those pictures had been- how long ago? During the war itself and then never again. No, her memory couldn't be this bad… she could remember what they looked like-
With a gasp she slammed on the brakes and stopped, her 'thorn' having just run through a Leo. She took several deep breaths, nearly trembling. No way…
"Isabel? Isabel!" his voice came over the comm., but she ignored him.
Wufei… Heero… they both were- both were- and those other boys too- they all fit the descriptions… those MS that had shown up in Sydney… that must have been them. How blind she was! She finally responded to his cries and looked up at him. "Chang Wufei you have a lot to tell me."
With a sickening feeling he realized what he had just told her. But it wasn't upsetting that she knew and might give him away- it was upsetting because he didn't know how she would react.
Battle waits for no man- or woman. A suit thrashed at Isabel and she leapt into life again, no holds barred this time and smashed most of the suits into the ground. "Are you coming or not?" she asked him over the comm. and took off.
"Hey! These pathetic suits don't fly!" he reminded her.
"Then hop out!" she said as if it were no big deal. Wufei muttered and grumbled as he unstrapped himself, but what choice did he have? He scrambled out of the Leo and up the gundame, shocked at just how similar it was to the gundams. He swung himself into the cockpit and it promptly closed behind him. "Take a seat in the back," she nodded to a few seats with seatbelts in the back wall of the cockpit and he didn't argue.
__________________________________
Guests milled around in the ballroom, twittering nervously. They had no clue still what could be going on, but Xiang's men were keeping them inside, assuring them that nothing was wrong in the most uncomforting way.
Isabel and Wufei managed to slip in unnoticed. They stuck together but didn't speak. That would come later. They didn't have time right now. Right now they needed to pretend that they had never left and were just as clueless as everyone else.
"Wufei!" Ramsey called and waved.
"Ramsey!" Wufei managed a smile and clasp arms with him when they met halfway, Isabel trailing along, keeping a wary eye on the people around them. "What's happened?"
"You came baaaaaaaaack!" something pink and frilly slammed into him and attached itself to Wufei's waist. "I knew you would come back! You saved me! How can I ever thank you?" Meilin turned adoring black eyes up at Wufei.
Wufei stared down at her, aghast. Why had she fastened onto him like this? "Er, Meilin?"
"Ooh, and I know your name now, too!" she squealed happily, making no move to let go. "Ramsey told me- he's so nice. You're Chang Wufei! THANK YOU, Chang Wufei!" she hugged him a little tighter.
'Oh, shit it knows my name now…'
"Rather like a limpet, eh?" Ramsey chuckled to Isabel.
She, however, was NOT amused. She coughed delicately. "'Fei, who's this?"
Wufei quirked an eyebrow at the nickname. He'd thought that it had been a slip of the tongue before but it seemed she wanted to call him that. "Er, this is Xiang Meilin," he said, carefully prying her off him. Those admiring black eyes never left his face however. "Master Xiang's granddaughter."
"Ooh, I see," Isabel said, not a drop of niceness in it. "It's certainly nice to meet you, Meilin."
Meilin looked at her and blinked, like a started bird. Other people? There were other people here besides Wufei? "Oh, hello. Who are you?"
"I'm Dame Isabel," she held a hand out to the girl, appearing friendly. Actually, she just wanted to get this limpet off of Wufei. Something inside her was festering horribly. She didn't like to think what it was so she ignored it. Meilin looked at the hand suspiciously but did take it, and Isabel used it to help pull her away from Wufei a little, turning her around so she was no longer facing him. "So, Meilin," she pulled the girl's attention back to her. She kept glancing nervously at Wufei. "I love your dress, where did you get it?" The thing was hideous. It was a crime to send a girl her age out in something like that.
"My-my grandfather has them made specially for me. He says that they're better than the fashions women wear today. He wants me to stay a little girl."
Figured. "Really? And just how old are you, Meilin?"
"Seventeen…"
Wufei heaved a sigh of relief and winced. His ribs hurt now. Ramsey gave him a sideway look. "You alright?"
"I suppose. Good god, Ramsey, did you have to let her latch onto me as soon as I walked in?"
"'let' isn't the word I choose to use." They watched Isabel talk to Meilin, drawing her slowly away from them and into a group of other young women. Meilin looked like a scared rabbit and she kept glancing back at Wufei. He quickly looked away. "So, seems you've found the company of both of the city's great beauties."
"What?"
"Isabel Halcon and Xiang Meilin are drawing men to the city in droves, all of them wanting to see them. Their beauty's becoming a legend. And you, lucky man, seem to have the favor of them both."
Wufei stared at him. "Have you been drinking, Ramsey?" Ramsey chuckled. Wufei spared another glance at Isabel. "No, I don't have the favor of them both."
Ramsey quirked an eyebrow. "Oh, don't you?" He had seen the green monster rearing it's head even if Wufei hadn't.
Isabel came over to the, Meili not in tow. "I think they're starting something."
"Where's Meilin?"
"See for yourself."
"Attention! Attention!" one of Xiang's men came to the forefront of the room, tapping on a wineglass to draw the nervous attention of their guests. Xiang stood just behind him, Meilin at his side. "There is no need to panic! Tonight, rebels attacked the School," he waited for the shocked whispers to die down. "There were very few injuries or casualties and the rebels have escaped. We ask that you not worry yourselves- they will be caught." It was a promise. A declaration of war. Wufei felt Isabel tense beside him and he knew he did, too.
Xiang stepped forward. "Enough of these bad things," he smiled at them all like a simple-minded, doting grandfather. "Tonight was meant for happy things. I have a great announcement to make. My granddaughter, Meilin," he waved and she came to stand beside him, looking nervous. She was a good foot taller than he. "Is to marry Markiah Chisholm, the king of the new nation Edin," he said to wild applause and cheering.
"What?!" both Wufei and Isabel exclaimed, shocked and horrified.
Ramsey harrumphed. "They're going to marry off a seventeen year old baby to a dictator?"
"She'd have been married years ago if they followed the old ways," Wufei murmured. Isabel couldn't help it. She glanced at him sideways, sympathy in her eyes. She knew what a big cost it had been to him to tell her of his personal life before. She put a gloved hand on his arm and he started and stared at her for a moment before they both had to turn back to the front.
A tapestry had been pulled aside to reveal a screen and Markiah's image filled it. "I wish to thank you, Master Xiang, for doing me the great honor of allowing me to take your granddaughter in marriage."
"It is my pleasure, your Excellency," Xiang made a small bow.
Wufei nearly growled. Bad enough that that Markiah was right there and that he would marry Meilin- he used the title only Treize had deserved. Wufei felt it was his duty to protect the memory of his great enemy, out of respect.
Isabel and Ramsey exchanged worried glances over his head. "Fei, Fei," se tugged at his sleeve, bringing him back to them. "Look around- all these people accept this. We have to, too or we'll stand out. We can't afford to look like rebels," she hissed. Still glowering, he relaxed enough to appear as though nothing were wrong.
Markiah continued. "It is my hope that with this marriage, an alliance shall form between Master Xiang's family and mine and that together we may continue to promote peace." This announcement was met by cheers and salutes with wineglasses. "To peace!"
"To peace!"
