Prologue

"Checkmate," Trowa said looking up at Noin

Noin looked at the board for a few seconds then sighed, "That's what the third game you beat me at today?" she asked smiling at Trowa.

Trowa smiled back a little then looked out the window and sighed. Noin stopped setting the chessboard up and looked at him. She had seen Trowa do it before, loss his concentration when they were playing a game or if he was just sitting in one of the chairs reading. She knew Trowa could feel her watching him, for he turned and looked at her.

"What is it Noin?" he asked.

"Nothing. well, something," she said trying to find the words. Trowa was patient as Noin thought. She looked at him and spoke, "Trowa, you seem to be losing concentration a lot. Is there something bothering you? I mean, you never loss concentration. Are you, perhaps, in love?" Noin asked getting a little excited.

Trowa looked at her for minute. Then half smiled. "No, Noin, I'm not in love with anyone. I have just been having strange thoughts about stupid things. It's nothing," he said while getting up to get a soda from the refrigerator. Noin half laughed, half giggled. "It's nothing, huh?" she said getting up. "Tell me the truth, Trowa."

Trowa looked at her trying to figure out if he could trust her. After all, what he was thinking is not something a Gundam pilot should be thinking about. "This may seem weird, but I have been having strange thoughts, and sometimes even dreams of another world; a world where elves, fairies, dragons and magic exist. Is that weird?"

"Trowa, of course not. Why do you think it's weird?" she asked.

"Well, because none of it is real, and why I am, a 17 year old Gundam pilot, thinking of it?" he asked sitting down, starting to play with the pop top.

"Because, you're in the war, and you wish there was some way to get out of it, or have it not even happen," she said smiling at him. "Now it's late, go get some rest," she said pushing him off to his room taking the can of pop out of his hands.

Trowa obediently went to his room. He looked out the window at the stars, as he got ready for bed. He crawled into bed and as he laid in bed he thought about the world he had told Noin about. 'Can that world really exist?' he asked himself before he fell asleep.
