*Disclaimer: Same as before. I do not own Gundam Wing or any of it's respective characters. (*except Sara Angeldust) If you wish to borrow Sara please ask first.Thx
*NOTE* I forgot to mention this in the first chapter but this story takes place right after Heero self distructed. Now you may be asking, Well then were's Heero? To answer this, he is still in a coma. Do you guys remember when he wakes up? Well I don't remember which colony they were on so I'm pretending they're on L4.(little bit of a spoiler to where they're headed.) Weh! that felt good to get off my chest. So anyho without further ado, Here is chapter 2. (I'm a poet and I didn't even know it^_^ People in the background cheering. Yeah!)
______________________________________________________________________
Sara sat on the edge of the soft bed in her new room. It had been only three days since she recovered from being found half dead in space. She was doing great as the new acrobat and the manager had told her that attendance at their shows were going up. People loved her, she was a star. But with all the attention she was getting, Sara still felt there was something wrong. There always seemed to be something hanging in the space around her head. Watching her, waiting for her to slip and tell what she dreaded to tell. But she promised herself that she wouldn't succumb to the pressure of starting her life over. And Trowa. Ever since she had met him there had always seemed to be something more about him. Something he, also, wouldn't tell. But now that she new his name she new exactly who he was, or for that matter what he was. Why hadn't she noticed him before? She had seen his picture a lot on computer screens and had made it a priority to memorize the hair. She must have forgotten.
Sara's head began to hurt. Even though she was fully healed from her little suicide attempt, Sara still got small headaches . Deciding to go take a walk to relieve the headache, Sara got up off the bed and headed for the door. Flicking the light switch on the wall off, opening and closing the door behind her , she walked down the hall of the space craft. The hall way was dark and stuffy. It was simulated as being night so as to give the people in the space craft some sleep. They had spent only a week at the L2 colony and were traveling to the L4 and would arrive in 3 days. '3 days' Sara thought. Just 3 days to decide.
Sara continued to walk down the hall, listening to the sound of her clanking stealtoed boots. She would have to remind herself to buy a quieter pair of boots when they reached the colony. As she turned the corner Sara saw a light up ahead , illuminating the dark hall. Sara looked at her watch. It was almost 2 in the morning and she wondered who would be up at this time. As she got closer to the room Sara could hear someone speaking. She crept down next to the wall and slowed her breathing and heart rate, just incase the person who was there had ever had some military training and could hear her. Sara reached the door and looked into the room.
It was a small storage room but had been transformed into a sort of base. A small desktop computer had been placed on a small desk in the corner of the room and a small printer was hooked up to it. But the most shocking thing in the room wasn't the computer but the person who was in it looking into the monitor of the desktop. She couldn't mistake that hair for anyone else's.
It was Trowa! He seemed to be looking at some message on the screen. Sara looked harder at the gray screen and saw typing. As she read, her eyes widened. It was a mission! Sara knew Trowa was a Gundam Pilot from the first time she heard his name, but she didn't think that he was still taking orders. Why would he be here in the circus? Unless he was hiding out until his mission came. That was it, he was waiting for this very mission. Sara read the rest of the message then left the door, creeping back to her room. She opened the door quietly and turned on the light, shutting the door. She stopped right in front of the door. Sara had read the rest of the mission. The mission had told Trowa to go to the L4 colony and distroy an OZ base that was giving the colonys some trouble. Lucky for Trowa they were heading strait for the L4 colony. Sara began to shudder uncontrollably. She sat down on her bed s to stop the shaking. As soon as she became clam Sara cleared her mind. She had come from the L4 colony, where she stole a cruiser and headed for her doom near the L2 colony. There was a thing there at the L4 that she didn't want to retrieve. But if event the meir mention of the l4 colony made her shudder why was she so excited? Deep down Sara knew she had to get it. She would decide what to do in the morning, right now she needed some sleep. And with that thought Sara got up, turned off the light switch and climbed into the warm covers of her bed.

You can never tell when morning or night is in space. But on the space craft they had clocks that would keep the exact time so no one would forget.
Sara was awakened by the sound of her alarm. She got up and looked out the small circular window that was across from her bed. She would never get used to the fact that no matter when she got up, it would always seem like night. Sara got up out of her bed and stumbled for the bathroom. After taking a cold shower she would get to her chores. Not even the star acrobat could escape the infamous chores.

Trowa was little more then excited to have finally received his mission. He had been confined to the circus for far to long and it was getting harder to keep people away from the docking bay where he had hidden Heavyarms. But one thing still was bothering him. The night before when he had received his mission he had sworn he felt the presence of someone else out side the room. But his sense's told him other wise. He had dismissed it until this morning when he examined the door outside the room where his mission had come in. There he found a hair. It was a dark shad of black brown, which could only be known as Sara Angeldust's. But what puzzled him was why the silent girl would want to spy on him? She had been found in space away from any colony which could have been an enemy base, and even if she was a spy, why would she almost kill herself just to get to him? As the thoughts raved through his mind Trowa was unaware of a shadow following behind him.
______________________________________________________________________
Sara had been shadowing and keeping a close eye on Trowa since the day she spied on him in the storage room. She knew he was a Gundam pilot, now all she needed to know was where he was hiding his mobile suit. It was her duty to find it. She would need as much information about Trowa as she could get.
Sara stopped as Trowa entered the arena near the animal cages. She looked at her watch. It was 12:30. Time for Trowa's routine animal feeding's. While Trowa worked as a clown in the ring his chores also consisted of feeding the animals. Sara had observed that Trowa had befriended the lion the circus called Leo, and would always go to Leo's cage first. Getting closer to Leo's cage by ducking behind a large crate Sara sat, watched, and listened. Leo began to purr loudly as Trowa approached his cage.
Sara had never thought of Trowa as the type who could befriend anything. Ever since the day she met him he was always very quiet and never said anything. The perfect personality for a Gundam Pilot. But there was always something beneath the surface of Trowa that Sara knew was their trying to come out. Sara could tell things like that about people. She had an uncanny sense of what type of personality someone had from just looking at them. But Trowa made her head spin, he was almost as complex as herself.
Trowa grabbed a crate from behind the lions huge cage and pulled it in front of the metal bars. He sat on it and took a piece of meat out of the bucket he was carrying. With absolutely no fear, Trowa reached into the lion cage and as if Leo was getting a treat, he took it from his hand. As Leo ripped at the large piece of meat, Trowa patted his head. The lion began to purr even louder then before.
Standing up, Sara began to walk from behind the large crate. Leo sensed her and began to growl as she came nearer to Trowa and the lion. Trowa paid her no mind but was diffenantly aware she was there.
"So." Sara said standing beside and a little behind Trowa. The lion had stopped growling.
"What are you up to." Sara crossed her arms and waited for a response from Trowa. He said nothing. Sara smiled.
"Well your a quiet one aren't you. Trowa Barton." Sara smiled even wider. She knew she would get his attention by saying his last name. Trowa turned his head toward her and stared at her, giving her a mean look.
"What do you want." he asked. Sara grabbed an extra crate from behind the lion's cage and sat down.
"Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to see if you were actually alive in that body." Sara said folding her arms and staring at the lion. Trowa was still staring at Sara. He looked away then spoke.
"How did you know my last name?" He asked her slightly annoyed(Note: From the Author: "it's a shock to Trowa because no one has told Sara his last name.). Sara took a deep breath.
"We're not all that different Trowa. It was given to me as my duty ever since I was oh, 10 years old, to know your full name." Sara stopped smiling. Trowa took this to offense, he stared hard into her eyes with the look of pure hatred that he had given her a long time ago, this time he meant it. Trowa quickly stood up, grabbing a gun from his holster belt. Aiming it at Sara he glared at her.
"Who are you! I demand to know!" He spoke forcefully and aimed the small pistol at her head. Sara sighed a tired sigh and stood up she glared at the pistol un afraid, then smiled.
"There's no need for a weapon against me Trowa. I'm unarmed and I wouldn't hurt you. Like I said before, we're not that different." Sara said. Un affected by her words Trowa spoke again.
"And as I said before, I demand to know who you are." Tightening his grip on the trigger, Trowa stared at her with an evil in his eyes so horrible Sara had to tighten her own grip on her sanity. She smiled. And began to walk away, giving her venerable back to Trowa's aiming gun. Sara walked a couple steps before answering him.
"You'll know my name in due course." She yelled behind her, walking toward the back of the tent.
______________________________________________________________________
Trowa was totally and utterly convinced. He hated that black haired girl named Sara. When he had tried to look up any information on her all he found were empty files and wrong names. If that didn't convince him she was a spy nothing would. Why, if she was innocent she would have files and a clear record, but now only one option came to his mind. He would either have to get the truth out of the girl or kill her.
______________________________________________________________________
Sara lay on her bed. Her hands behind her head, staring at the ceiling. She was smiling. It was funny. No matter how she looked at it all she could come up with was that her meeting with Trowa was funny. Of course if she knew Gundam Pilots, which she did, she would know that at this moment Trowa was plotting to kill her. But all she could do was smirk. Was it because she had come to close to death one to many times, or was it because she wasn't scared? She didn't know and would probably never. Suddenly the smile vanished from her face.
"Oh, my god." Sara stared wide eyed at the ceiling. When she had talked to Trowa she had told him she wasn't that much different then him. Unless she wanted to be hunted down by him she would have to explain herself. That was the last thing she wanted to do. Or was it? Maybe it was time to tell someone about her past. She had tried to conceal it for a long time and trying to hide it was just making it worse. Sara sighed. She would have to tell Trowa the truth. And she would have to do it that day. She had checked the ships navigational chart the night before and saw that the ship would be arriving at the L4 colony the day after the next. She would have to tell him before then. Or else she would end up being hunted down by Trowa because he thought she was a spy sent by OZ. Oh, well, telling someone was a lot better then being hunted down by an angry Gundam Pilot.

Meet me behind the lions cage at about 3am. I won't tell you to come
unarmed because I know it will be in vain. Just make sure to come with an open mind.
Sincerely,
Well, you know who I am.Trowa read the note once then tore it up and threw it away. The girl wasn't going to get away that easily with just being cocky. But she was right. He was going armed and her telling him not to would probably give him more of a reason to kill her. Trowa grabbed his gun from underneath his mattress and set out to meet with Sara
______________________________________________________________________
Sara stood with her arms crossed above her chest, behind the lions cage. She knew better then to sit, just incase Trowa decided to kill her before hearing her out. Sara looked at her watch. It was 3am on the dot. Trowa knew better then to be late. Sara knew this and decided to do something she hadn't done since she was 12. Closing her eyes Sara let go of her mind. Like a dog sniffing through a pile of garbage, it checked out every aspect of the tent. Sara felt a small prick on her left arm and pulled her wandering mind back into her, making sure to keep a good grip on it. Sara looked towarddd the left into the darkness, and noticed a small shadow kneeling down on the other side of the cage.
"You don't have to hide, Trowa Barton," Sara said holding up her arms.
"I'm unarmed." Slowly Trowa came out of the shadows and stood up. Sara looked into his eyes. The calm dark green that had once been there had disappeared and had been replaced by a stiffing hatred. A hatred a person would give someone who had killed their family right in front of them. Sara tried to soften the look by smiling, but to no avail. She looked down at his hand, seeing the same pistol he had used to threaten her before. Trowa walked up to Sara, standing a good 4ft away, just in case she lied about being unarmed.
"You don't have to be so cautious Trowa. I came to confess something, not to hurt you." Sara sat down on the crate near her. putting her hands in her lap. Trowa just stared at her. Then spoke.
"What do you want Sara Angeldust. Or is that even your real name?" Sara closed her eyes and smiled.
"For now yes. Sara Angeldust is my real name. But that's not what you want to know is it Trowa Barton." Trowa gave Sara a bad look at using is name like that. Sara noticed this and sighed. She would have to give Trowa an explanation soon or else he would shoot her. She could see that much tension in his eyes.
"Trowa do you remember when I told you that I'm not that different then you?" Sara asked looking at Trowa. Trowa gave her a small nod.
"Well what if I told you that we were so a like that we were given the same fate ever since we were little." Trowa gave Sara a confused look. She sighed and decided to say it.
"Trowa, we have the same mission. I'm a soldier Trowa. Or if you really want to be precise." Sara stood up and walked towards Trowa. Stopping just about one foot away form him. Trowa didn't waver. He stood his ground.
"My code name is Gundam 06. I am a Gundam pilot." Trowa's hatred was erased by pure shock. He almost dropped the gun he had in his left hand.
'This girl can't be a gundam pilot!' he thought. Suddenly his shock turned into a doubtful look. He didn't believe her. He took the gun in both hands pointing it, two inches away from her face.
"Your lying." He said. Sara sighed, Exaustedly.
"Must we go through this again! It's up to you to believe me Trowa, but I'm telling you now that I'm telling the truth." Sara said backing up.
"I'll be leaving as soon as we reach the L4 colony. If you want to kill me you had better do it before then." Sara turned around to walk away then remembered.
"Oh and Trowa. If that friend of yours who's in a coma wake's up, tell me k?" Trowa watched Sara walk back towards the crew hallway. He put his gun in it's holster and scratched his head.
"How in the heck does she do that?" He said walking back to his room.
