Truths of the Heart

- I'll Always Have a Place for you in My Heart -
Allenby's Feelings For Domon


Allenby Beardsley sat quietly on the roof of a gorgeous house in her home, Neo-Sweden. It was several months after the final fight for the 13th Gundam Fight and she had recently returned home, to her nation.

Tonight she sat alone, away from all the commotion of her superiors. Sitting next to her was a notebook and a stack of loose-leaf paper. Sighing she picked up a piece of paper and began to write; only to crumple the paper and throw it into a small pile of mistakes she was soon to make.

Finally getting started, this is what she wrote...

'Dear Domon,
There is something that I have wanted to explain to you for a long time now, especially after you defeated the Devil Gundam. For a long time I have been thinking about what I want to say, I know that you already know that...well...I really like you. It's more then just a friendship that I'm feeling. Ever since I met you at the arcade that day, I haven't been able to get you out of my mind. I don't know if it was your will to fight that attracted my attention or just the fact that you could keep up with me in a battle.

During our first fight you saved me, you brought me back to normal from the terrible berserker system that I went through so many times. Only YOUR voice could save me, could break through my walls of suffering, destruction and hate. Then after that I helped you through your fights with the other members of the shuffle alliance, I felt like I was somehow getting closer to your heart, but after I think about it, I really wasn't.

You saved me so many times and I loved you for that as well as your personality...

But...

I am trying to forget about you. I know you may be thinking that I've gone crazy but let me explain.

During the time I knew you and Rain I could see that Rain cared about you a lot. The way that she looked at you with such caring glances, even when you didn't notice and the way she was always there to support you. This is why I am trying to force my feelings to end. During the final fight with the Devil Gundam I realized, it would never work between us. In the fight I told you to tell her that you loved her. When I said that to you I guess you could say that my heart shattered, because those are the same words I could never say to you with such expression and meaning.

I want to give you up to Rain; I want you and her to be happy, forever. You two are meant for each other, I just know it.

This letter may come as a surprise to you but these feelings are really how I felt. Even though I say I am trying to rid myself of these feelings I know, deep down, they will always be there. So till our next fight Domon, good-bye.

You will always have a place in my heart.

Love,
Allenby'

She smiled as she folded the letter and placed it within her notebook. It was if a sudden heavy burden was lifted from her shoulders and she was free.

"Domon, someday I will have the courage to give you this letter but, until then, some things are probably best kept a secret," smiling she climbed down off the roof and onto the balcony that led in to her room. As she went to open the door to the inside of the house she saw a reflection of a shooting star on the glass of the door.

"A new beginning...for me...and for Rain and Domon," she whispered softly as the young girl stepped into her room and drifted into her sweet dreams.



Nuriko: First off this chapter was dedicated to the wonderful authors of G-Gundam fanfiction, 'Straya, SporkGoddess, Athena Masterson and Dr. Brief's Cat who have posted many awesome fanfics in this category and inspire us other writers. You guys are great! :)

Second, ...this seemed very...un-Allenby ^^; I need to work on OOC more. Anyways, I am sorry this chapter took so long. I've been very busy with high school (I never knew 9th grade would be so stressful O.o;), dance, and art and I've been scared out of my wits because of nearby shootings. I am really sorry. I'll try to get the next chapter up sooner.

And third, I am sorry if I upset some D/A fans but I am really a supporter or D/R. I'm sorry if you didn't like it but please do not flame my story because of that reason.

And finally, I do not own G-Gundam!

Thank you to everyone who reviewed or read the story!


Kenji: Thank you for reviewing Kenji and even more...for getting me into G-Gundam in the first place! *hugs*

Athena Masterson: Thank you so much, I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well :)

PurpleAngel: Thanks! I am glad that the length was suited well for this.

Gren44: Thank you for the comments. I too believe Rain and Domon make a cute couple and are very good for each other. I will do Domon's thoughts on Rain soon, but I'd prefer to see the end of the series before trying it. Thank you again!

IsleofSolitude: Arigatou! I am glad you enjoyed it!

SporkGoddess: Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I changed the part of the story about Rain's father's death because, as you pointed out, it didn't fit right with the setting of the story. Thank you so much again and I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well!

Wordpainter: Thanks! ^_^


Nuriko: So whom should we do next? I am thinking about either Marie Louise and George de Sand or Shirley, Cath, Bunny and Janet's reflections on Chibodee. Any other suggestions? Thanks again for reading!
