Title: Thank You
Parts: 1/?
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Gundam Wing, Dorothy, or any other characters, but I do own this story. So hah! ^_~
Authors Note: My story is bordering on a rant, but its not one. This note is one though. Lol. ^_^ Firstly, I just want to say that I tell things like I consider them. I said that purposely. I try to consider all sides of a subject before I comment on it. I'm like Trowa in that way. I'm just really tired of seeing so many biased websites out there. I realize that everyone has a right to their own opinion's, but its rude when someone ignores others opinions because they don't agree with yours. I get that hearing others opinions might not change yours, but try to understand their point of view. I honestly am not trying to be malicious or condescending towards anyone, nor am I trying to throw anything in anyone's faces. I just want my (and others) opinions and my stories to be read and heard.
On a brighter note, I know that I have two other stories to finish for FF.net, but this just came to me and I had to write it. Don't worry, I'll finish my others, but I had to post this one here first. Sorry. I just wanted to mention all this before someone read my story and started screaming my head off. LOL!! I had a funny thought. Ok. Now you can read the story. =^_^='
Summary: My story is a couple years after the (Eve?) Wars. It has…Dorothy angst! ^_^ Oh, and when I wrote this, I'm assuming that she hasn't killed. You never know though, because her Grandfather was a sick, vicious man. Also, I don't remember if she killed with the mobile dolls.

Thank You
I walked into the room slowly, gracefully, and saw the faces staring at me so intently. I know what they were thinking and heard light strains of whispered conversations behind my back.
It's Dorothy Catalonia....
She's a murderer...
She's beautiful...
She stabbed poor Master Quatre...
Her family's gone....
How dare she just think she can come here like this...
And though it tore me apart even more on the inside, I still let nothing show outwardly. I wore my cold mask of indifference and arrogance. It was a lie, but they don't know that... No one will know that. And yet I wonder what they think about the Gundam pilots. If I'm such a murder what about them? The bringers of death and destruction and mass slaughter. Yes, we all were fighting in a war, a stupid war, but war nonetheless.
Whatever happened to Duo, God of Death, or Hero Yuy, Slayer of lives? What about gentle Quatre Winner, though he fought to protect his family, what about all the people he's killed or Trowa Barton, and his coolly detached ways of bringing destruction? What about Chang Wufei, Milliardo-sama, Lady Noin, Lady Une, Treize-sama...? The list goes on, but what about them?
Not all of the people in this room fought in the war, but for the one's who did, who have the gall to call me a murder, who also fought in the Eve wars, killing other men, could they give me an answer? Could they admit to all the death that they helped to cause? For all the families that they helped to split apart? No, I seriously doubt it. It kinda puts some things in perspective, doesn't it? Contrary to the fact, I've never killed anyone. I'm not without fault though. Yes, I controlled the Mobile Dolls System. Yes, I stabbed Quatre out of anger, but I've never killed. The mobile dolls I controlled fought the Gundam pilots and other mobile dolls.
In war people die. It's that simple and that complex. It's cruel that so many innocent people had to die, that so much blood was spilt because of human stupidity. Though all that death was nothing but what the people wanted. Oh, sure, they'll continue to deny that fact, but if the people wanted peace, wouldn't they have worked for it?
Relena worked hard for peace, and I respect her for that. I also hate her naïveté for believing that peace could be so easily obtained by taking away the weapons that were causing such pain and death and destruction. Taking away all the weapons won't stop wars. You have to change the hearts of the people, otherwise they'll be destroyed like my father was.
So why did it take the Gundam pilots, Treize, and Milliardo almost blowing up the Earth to achieve it? Treize and Milliardo gave them a great war. "The war to end all wars" they called it. It's truly sad. It took a war, which brought so much pain and loss and devastation to change the hearts of the people. To make them realize that, peace cannot be given, but to achieve peace, it must be fought for. Quatre is so much like my father. I hate him for making me feel as I do, but I also thank him as well. I really don't know my place in life as of yet, but, I suppose, thanks to Quatre... and Trowa, I may have a start.
That's what I'm here for.
A new start.

A.N.: Question! Did the mobile dolls fight other mobile dolls, or was it other pilots? Cause I can't really remember. But if the mobile dolls fought other pilots, pretend like they didn't. C & S are welcome! ^_^
