Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing but Xamick and I own the idea of writing the same story in two different views.

Note: Suggested you read Xamick's view first because it explains the fight.

Separated By War... Lorim's View

It's been about two years now. Two years since me and Xamick got into a fight. Two years since I was taken to be trained as a Gundam pilot. I hadn't had contact with anyone from the "outside" in these two years. I'm now fifteen. I was thirteen when it all happened. I was so smart they decided to make me a pilot. They used my anger towards Xamick to their advantage. I'm still a kid at heart. No one knows I still have emotions. I keep them locked inside.

I can't believe it. Tomorrow I leave for earth. I leave for home. I won't be in the United States though, but I have my missions that are more important. I have to forget my home. I must. I may still be a kid but now I'm also an assassin, a sniper, a killer, a soldier, in short a Gundam pilot. I look around my small room; a bed, a night stand with clothes inside, a clock on top, a desk with a laptop and that's it.

I couldn't help but remember earth. I closed my eyes and memories came. I crawled into my small bed reclosing my eyes falling asleep to dreams (and memories of earth.)

I woke the next morning to my alarm clock. I got up and got dressed quickly. This was it. This was the day I went back to Earth. I went into the hanger. It was a normal day for all of us. I did a few last minute changes and went back to my room.

In my room I packed a small duffle bag. The last thing I put in was a picture. Before putting it in I looked at it. Me and Xamick were in the picture together. We used to be best friends. I sighed. That was then. This is now. I heard over the intercom I was to report to my Gundam. I slipped on my space suit grabbed my helmet and walked to the hanger.

I climbed into my Gundam and did a system check. Everything was go. The countdown from ten started. I closed my eyes. Nervousness hit me like a knife through the heart. I heard Zero and pushed the throttles forward. I blasted into spare with so much pressure I was forced back against my seat and could hardly hold the throttles. When I landed on earth I was sent to me first mission.

Over the next couple of months I destroyed many OZ bases but never sent near America. One day I was sent in a mission to meet up with the other pilots for a joint mission. We were meeting in a place I hated...... Afghanistan. I did what I was told and went.

I landed at the coordinates after dark and stepped out to see the other pilots. I knew who they even though they didn't know me. "No wonder the pilot's late. It's an onna." said Wufei. "Shut up. Lets just get this over with." I said you could tell I didn't like where I was.

"What's your problem?" asked Heero. "What's wrong? What's wrong is I'm standing in a country that sent terrorists to my country, destroyed building with planes and killed thousands. Why wouldn't I be upset right now." I said. "Hey your from America. Cool." Said Duo. I rolled my eyes. "Yes Duo. I was born and raised there until two years ago. Can we please get on with this mission?" "We have six OZ bases that must be attacked at exactly the same time. The six places are the United states, Africa, Britain, Japan, Greenland, and Canada." Said Heero. "Give me America." I said.

"We've been told to make sure you don't get it." Said Duo. "That's because it's my home and I still think it is. If I don't get the US I'll leave on my own. I have things to take care of there." I said. "We're not giving it to you." Said Heero. "Peace" I said as I climbed back up into my Gundam. "You're going to get into trouble." Said Quatre. "I don't care. I am going home. and get off the missing person's list. I'm going to tell to tell everyone I'm not dead like they think. I'm alive and well." I said. "You're on the missing person's list?" Asked Trowa. "Yes. I didn't choose to be a Gundam pilot. I was forced to. Everyone else though I just disappeared." I explained.

"You should at least get some sleep before you leave." Said Quatre. "I'll be fine." I replied. I was about to get completely in my Gundam and close the hatch when a gun shot rang and hit me in the top of the arm. I grabbed it. They didn't train me to endure pain. Quatre and Duo came when I jumped from my Gundam. My hand had become bloody. I was bleeding badly. Wufei, Heero and Trowa went to find the sniper. Duo and Quatre bandaged my arm while I sat propped against a tree. Because I haven't been trained but two years my body was still like the average person. From loss of blood I spiked a fever.

My eyes partly closed and I gave a small moan thinking about what Dr. J would now say to me. I could tell the others had come back unsuccessfully. They let me rest while they sat around the fire talking so I couldn't hear. I knew they were saying two years of training wasn't enough training and I was a girl and shouldn't be fighting. I knew it all. I closed my eyes and fell asleep tired, feverish, and drained of energy.

I opened my eyes a bit later and used the little energy I had to look at the time; 5 AM. I sigh, why me? I looked over to the fire. Everyone else was still sleeping but I was awaken by pain. I forced myself to walk over to the fire. It was freezing at night. That's one thing I learned. They had laid blanket on top of me and now I pulled it tight around me. I stared into the now small fire and remember September 11th, the terrorists, the killers, the people I was now.

Someone beside me was awake. I snapped out of it to see Quatre was awake. "Hey." I said try to sound normal but I was still tired. "What were you thinking so hard about?" He asked. "September 11th. The day terrorists from this place destroyed lives in America. It was tragic, but now I'm the same as them. Going around killing people, destroying their lives, causing damage and pain." I said sadly. "You're not like them." He said. "You wouldn't understand." I replied. "But how do you know how we feel like." Wufei said. I had spaced out as I talked and never even noticed they woke up. "I don't but all I know is I'm just like those terrorist and I am in their country too." I said and stood up. "Where are you going?" asked Heero. "Home." I got up into my Gundam and closed my hatch. I turned on my screens and took off. They followed. "Why are you guys following me?" I said into my comm. "You're hurt and weak and an onna." said Wufei. "I don't need help." I said and turned off my comm.

Ok so It's not the best but not the worst. Remember to find out what happened to Xamick after I disappeared you have to read her point of view. Oh yeah if you feel the need to yell and scream and flame about any typos and stuff please go to Xamick's version of the story because she typed this.
