Notes: Okay, this is where I summarize what happens to the Gundam pilots. It's one big informative chapter (oh, you can tell I'm such a Wufei fan too). Sorry that it's short.
***********************************
Chapter One: Life
It had been months since Heero's death. Life went on, as it always has a habit of doing, even if the four remaining Gundam pilots weren't ready. They had their time to mourn, some taking longer than others. Wufei and Duo took the longest, both either very close to Heero or secretly admiring him. In the end, Duo accepted what had happened with a stern face and a vow for vengeance, while Wufei just let out all his buried emotions in the form of tears. The latter was a surprise to the others since it was rumored that the introvert loner had long ago given up such displays of emotions. Nobody could remember that if there was a time before that the Solitary Dragon had even shed a tear. Some say he cried when Treize died, others say that he never cried, even when Treize had said his "Adieu," even when his wife had passed away. Eventually, Wufei came to his senses, accepting Yuy's death, but never really accepting it at the same time. In the process, he quit his job as a preventer and left Sally, for reasons the rest of the pilots would never know or fully understand.
Again, life went on, this time with the pilots. Quatre continued to work on bringing peace to all the colonies and to Earth, working with Relena a lot. Trowa did something surprising; he quit the circus. He moved in with Quatre and worked as an aid to the blonde boy, helping to spread the idea of Absolute Pacifism. Duo remained Duo. Of course, he quit his job and left Hilde too, explaining that he wanted to move on in life and see the world as a regular human being, not as a pilot of a weapon of mass destruction (though the weapon itself had been destroyed). He invited Wufei to come with him. Of course it was an offer the Chinese boy couldn't turn down, so he went. What happened to them after that? Nobody knows. They just didn't keep in contact with their friends.
And through it all, they were being hunted. Each and every one of them. The boys never knew it, though. They never knew that these stealthy hunters watched them as they made their speeches, worked late night in the office, toured the ruins of an ancient civilization, and searched in the wonder of the world for the truth an old enemy spoke. Months passed and the hunters watched, ever so patient in their observations. Ever so patient as to when they would go after the big game.

Yeah yeah yeah…Short but sweet…there's more.
