Chapter 10: The Remembrance Letter
Danny opened the mail. Everybody looked at the screen.
'Hey Danny,
Long time no hear? You betcha. I heard of your whereabouts from a friend. I also heard something else. You're hanging with the big kids now eh? I remember when we were little, you always looked up to someone better than you. Like me. You looked up to me like a sister. Even though you have/had no family. You copied almost my every move. I even trained you to pilot. Like me. You wanted to so much. You said you were going to hang out with the Gundam pilots and pilot a Gundam when you were older. Remember? I'm smiling right now as I remember. Then you thought I had died. I watched from the shadows as you cried. I wanted to come out of hiding to tell you it'll be all right. But I couldn't. I had a job to do. I watched you grow up. You went to the Maxwell Church. Met a few kids. Nobody wanted to be your friend though. Until that one boy showed up. I know you remember this. He was alone like you. His best friend had died, just like you thought I did. He had really long hair. I never caught his name. You two became very good friends. He never wanted to cut his hair. You laughed at him. You even suggested to the Sister that was raising you to braid his hair instead of cutting it. Then the day it had happened. You were at school, and the boy had left somewhere. The church was destroyed. I'll never forget how you looked when you came back. You dropped everything you had and ran to the remains. You didn't see any survivors though. You called out people's names, to see if they would answer. Nobody did. You never found your friend. You picked up your stuff as you ran away, tears in your eyes. I wanted to go to you then as well, but I couldn't. I have tears in my eyes as I remember how helpless you looked. The only thing you left behind, (I still have it too.) was an Angel made out of glass. I'm supposing it was out of remembrance of me. I'm surprised that it didn't break. But there are such things as small miracles. I picked up the Angel and set it in my pack. I was about to leave after you, but I saw a mobile suit fly over my head toward the church. I hid in the shadows again and watched as the boy you always played with jumped out of the suit. He cursed as he also ran to the remains. He found the one lone survivor. The one you missed. It was the sister that had been raising you. I couldn't hear them talking, but I knew they were. I also knew she had died when I heard the boy yell out into the night. He ran back to the suit and I was close enough to hear him swear revenge against the ones who did this to him. I supposing he too thought his second best friend in the whole world was dead. I couldn't find you after that. I looked for years. Currently I'm wondering if your wish ever came true. I believe that it did. I finally found you after I hooked up with an old friend. Don't worry about me. Right now, I'm sitting on a beach somewhere. I can't tell though. My laptop is running out of batteries so I'm going to make this a short finish. I miss you and I hope you got this letter. You're what? 15 now? 16? I wish you well. I'll get to meet you this weekend though. I think. So don't look forward to it. I wanted you to know that your old friends are still alive. And well. Well, at least I am, I don't know about that boy. So, I'll see you later ne? Ja.
-A.L.'
Danny sat there wide-eyed. Then she smiled. "I can't believe it, she's alive. After all these years she has come back to me. She's right, there are such things as small miracles." She reread the letter. Then she gasped, reread the letter again, and looked up and stared at Duo. "You…"
-Sorry this has been so short. But I wanted to have another cliffhanger for you all. Muahahahahahahahaha!!!! I know. I'm evil. Now I have to work on getting myself out of this problem. I have to work on the next chapter. Wanna know who A.L. is? You'll find out soon enough.
