Chapter 4: Dreaming of You
Author's Note: This part is a song fic. I decided to use the song 'Dreaming of You' by Selena since it seemed appropiate for the subject of the chapter.
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
Brittany sat up in her room. It was only 5:30 in the morning but she knew what today was. October 15, the day when the only love of her life died. His name was Anameratsu Yamaguchi. She was planning on marrying him one day, defying her traditions. But he died in the hands of someone else. It was hard for her to take. Today was no different. Every year his death day rolls by and she just gets so quiet. She started to get ready for school.

And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too
Wufei woke up in cold sweat. He was dreaming of Nataku, his only love. He looked around, the rest of the guys were sleeping. Nataku was his dead wife who died in battle. 'It should've been me that died, not her.' he thought
He noticed that there was one of the guys up, Quatre. He was studying for the science test that was today. He looked up to see Wufei, sweating. "Wufei-san, are you ok?" he asked
"Fine." he said, getting up
"Where are you going?"
"School."
Quatre looked at his watch. "It's only 5:44 in the morning."
"I want to get there early."

Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
Brittany wiped some snow off of a tombstone. It was Anameratsu's. She was in a very depressed mood. It was very cold out, but she didn't care. She wiped most of the snow off tombstone and lit a candle. She smiled a bit as she looked at the picture in the middle of the tombstone. "Anamer-chan, I should tell you about things around here. First of all, these five new guys have shown up and there's a war out in space. "
Tears fell down her face and she touched the picture. "I miss you so much. If I only stayed home that night, this wouldn't have happened. You would be in my arms."

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me
Wufei was walking and her heard some sobbing. It was coming from the cemetary. He saw Brittany, sitting there with a candle. He looked at her for a moment and it reminded him of Nataku. Her eyes, the phsyique, her determination. Even what she said yesterday reminded him of Nataku. The snow began falling down and he thought he saw something in the snow. He rubbed his eyes and there was Nataku, in her wedding dress, looking at him with happy eyes. "Nataku?" he asked
She nodded. "I-I thought you were-"
"Dead? I am, I'm here to warn you of a great danger that is coming."
"Great danger?"
"Yes, and she needs you."
"She?"
"Brittany, she's going to need you soon."
"Why does she need me?"
"Compassion is part of life, she had it, then she lost it. You need to help her find her compassion again. Give her a chance to be happy."
"Nataku..."
"Please Wufei, promise me you'll do this."
"But.....Nataku....."
"Promise me!"
"*sigh*I promise."
The two kissed for the last time and she dissapeared into snow.

Wonder if you ever see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
Brittany stopped crying and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Anamer-chan, I just hope I can find someone who is strong, like you."
She heard a twig snap and she immediately stood up, knocking over the candle. "Who's there?!" she yelled
Wufei appeared before her. "Oh, it's you." she said "What do you want?"
He just looked at her. "Just how long have you been standing there?" she asked
"For a while." he answered
"Oh....so you heard me, and I guess you think I'm pretty weak."
She got up and started to walk away. "Brittany..."he said
She turned around and looked at him. She crossed her arms. "What?" she asked
"I.....lost somebody I loved too....."
"You did? Who was she?"
"My wife.....Nataku."

If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside
Would you even care?
Wufei saw the sadness in Brittany's eyes as they were walking to school. She seemed really upset that Anameratsu died. "So, how did he die?" he asked
"He....died at the hands of another fighter." she answered
"Another fighter? Does fighting always involves killing around here?"
"Where I live, yes. It happened so quickly that I don't really remember what happened."
Teas welled up in her eyes. "Now he's dead, because of something he didn't do."
The tears streamed down her face as she felt arms around her. Wufei was holding her as she sobbed in his chest.

(small interlude:Chrissy sat down in biology next to Quatre. "Chris, have you seen Wufei?" he asked, in a bit worriedly tone
"No, and for some reason, I haven't seen Brittany either. I think I know why she didn't come to school, but I don't know why Wufei wouldn't want to come. I thought education was one of his favorite things."
"Yeah, this is odd, even for him."
"I just hope that he doesn't go off and do something spontaneous like he always does.")

I just wanna hold you close
But so far all I have a dreams of you
Brittany and Wufei were walking through the snow. It was 10:30 in the morning and usually, teens their age were in school. They walked through alleyways to avoid the cops. They knew if they were caught, Brittany's mom would be called and Mrs. Nakamura wasn't one to reason with. Both of them began to realize that they loved each other's presence. They didn't really care that they were missing school. Brittany hated scholars and Wufei felt like school wasn't being challenging enough. Both smiled when the snow fell down. "You know, this is like christmas." said Brittany "Snowing and romantic."
Wufei made a small chuckle. For some reason, she reminded him of Nataku, but unlike Nataku, she was a bit gentler and nice to be around at times.

So I wait for the day
And the courage to say how much I love you
Yes I do!
Wufei was working on the Shenlong Gundam when Chrissy popped out of nowhere. "Hi Wufei-chan!" she said in a preppy tone
He growled and went back to working. "What's up with you? Miss something important in biology?"
"I didn't go to school today, baka." he said in a flat tone
"Oh, and why would that be?"
"I have my reasons."
"Out on a date?"
"No."
"With somebody I know?"
"No."
"With Brittany?"
"Why would you even ask that?"
"Because it could be a possibility if you two ever go out."
"I think you need to get a reality check."
"Whatever, you are so stubborn."
Wufei opened Nataku and sat inside of it. He turned on the system to see that it was fully functional.

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
Brittany laid up in her room, looking at the ceiling. 'What is it about Wufei that makes me so happy?' she thought to herself 'Maybe it's his hair......no too coincidential......his eyes......too cold......his physique......oh god who wouldn't love that..........it's his presence.......he understands me so much.'
"Akira! Come down here and see your old Grandfather!" said a voice
She graoned. Grandfather Lee was her father's ancestor who was always talking about the family's honor. She got up from her bed and tied her hair back into odangoes. She walked down the stairs where her grandfather and mother were drinking tea. She put on a fake smile. "Grandfather Lee! How wonderful it is to see you!"
She hugged her grandfather and he hugged back. "Ah! So young and beautiful! Did you find of suitor to hold up the family name?" he asked
"*groan*Grandfather, I still haven't found one. I will find one.....one day I know when I have found him."
"That's why you must fight every man that comes by! Then you know he is the one!"
Brittany made a sweatdrop. 'This is going to be a long evening....'she thought
Then she remembered something........Wufei was coming over to sparr with her! Granfather Lee would make her accually fight him and she didn't want that. "Oh Grandfather I just remembered, I have something to do outside, I'll be right back."
She slipped on her shoes and walked outside. It was cold, but she didn't care. All she cared about was Wufei and if he didn't get hurt.

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me
Brittany, Karin (her mother), and Grandfather Lee were eating ramen noodles until there was a knock at the door. Brittany answered it and almost fell over. It was Wufei and had a small smirk on his face (Kari: Just to let you know, Brittany was thinking about typing that Wufei gave her flowers and I told her that this was not Wufei, it would be just plain creepy.)"Hi Wufei." she said
"What's wrong with you?" he asked
"It's my Grandfather Lee, he might want me to fight you and I don't want to and if I do.....I'm not sure you're the type to get committed real fast."
"Akira, who is that?" asked Karin
Karin often called Brittany by her middle name when her father-in-law was around because he thought that Brittany was not honorable. "Oh, I see you have a friend, please come in." she said
"Mother, if he comes in....you know how Grandfather is."
"Damn, I forgot about that.....well he should still come in, it is very cold. I am Brittany's mother Karin Nakamura it is nice to meet you."
She bowed and Wufei bowed back. "I am Wufei Chang."
"Wufei.....the name of my husband.....well, would you like some tea?"
"Hai."
"Well then, come in, I'll get a cup for you."
He came in and Brittany giggled. "What?" he asked
"You don't know how much of a sweetheart you can be when you're not thinking about the gundams. My mother can be so......eccentric at times. She isn't now, but believe me, she can be."
"Akira, can you bring your guest inside, I want to meet him myself."
She led him to the living room where her grandfather was drinking tea. "Ah! So is this the one Akira? He is very handsome." he said
Brittany's face turned red as a tomato. "Grandfather! He's just a friend!"
"So you say. Tell me young man, what is your name?"
"Wufei Chang sir."
"Tell me, are you related to the Chang clan in any way?"
"Oh no sir, I'm from a colony."

Corazón
I can't stop dreaming of you
Brittany was trembling a bit. Karin tried to calm her daughter down, but it was no use. She knew that soon or later, her grandfather would end up fighting the only person that could really understand him. Granfather Lee was very strong for a man that is 75 years old. He also know a deadly tecnique that was passed down to Brittany. She never used on a person for fear of death. Granfather Lee sipped his tea and looked at Wufei. "How much do you like Akira?"
Wufei's face turned slightly pink, even though he had a stright face "I like her.....a lot....."
"Now father-in-law, lets not jump to any conclusions. I'm sure they're just friends." said Karin, making a sweatdrop
'That's how I got married to my Wufei in the first place.....' she thought
"Tell me young Wufei, what style of fighting do you use?" asked Granfather Lee
"I use Kung-Fu. (Kari: I don't know if this is true, I just decided to type this.)"
"Ah Kung-Fu! Whole mind and body becomes a secret weapon!"
Brittany banged her head on the table and made fake anime tears. "Why me?" she whined
"I would love it if you were to fight me." said Granfather Lee
"Father-in-law no! You're too old to be fighting!" said Karin
"Now daughter-in-law, I was 61 when Akira finished her training. I can handle Wufei."

No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
I can't stop dreaming
Brittany sat outside with her mother. She was very nervous since she knew what her granfather was capable of doing. Both men bowed to each other and both got into their fighting stances. The snow was wet and cold under them. A harsh wind blew and Wufei charged first, trying to land a punch but Lee fliped him on his back. Wufei tried to trip him but Lee had gotten out of the way. He jumped ot his feet and charged again. This time, Lee blocked the attack. "You attack to quickly." he said
He kneed Wufei in the stomach and blood came out of his mouth. He kneeled over in the snow as he spat out the blood. "There is no more reason for you to fight." he said
Wufei looked up angirly at him. He attacked with a karate chop which was blocked and Lee did a uppercut. He fell in the snow on his back. "Wufei!" said Brittany "Give up, this is pointless!"
He got back up and charged again. Lee just flung his hand and slapped Wufei away, he fell over on his face. "You still have a lot to learn young Wufei."
He walked into the house and Brittany ran to her friend. She held his head in his lap. "Nataku...." he breathed out
Brittany's eyes went wide. 'Nataku.....his wife.....his spirit must be broken because of this....'she thought

Cómo te necesito
I can't stop dreaming of you
Mi amor, cómo te extraño
Wufei sat on the tub in Brittany's bathroom. She applied the aniseptic to his cut on his face. He sligtly jumped. "Gomen nasai." she said
She looked into his eyes, he looked defeated, like he would never go on again. She reapplied the aniseptic to the washcloth she was using. "You know, being defeated is a way of getting stronger."
He looked down at the floor. "I know how much you want to make Nataku proud. Sometimes you have to be defeated, no matter how much you want to win. She may have not told that she accepted you as her husband, but I think......when she told you to take her to the field of flowers......I think she already did...."
He looked at her. "Brittany....."
"Wufei, I've already accepted defeat as a way of getting stronger. Defeat often makes a person determined and Nataku is not sad that you were defeated she'll never be sad, as long as you keep believing in yourself. Look, it's not the biggest thing in the world to get defeated. Sometimes Christina has beaten me at things, especially chess, I've never been able to get it right. Nataku will never leave you she's right here."
She placed her palm over his heart. She looked into his eyes and smiled. Wufei looked back at her. Her eyes widened and she realized what was happening. "Uh....I'll be right back." she said
She stepped out of the bathroom and shut the door. She sighed and leaned down on the bathroom door. 'Wufei, he's the one. But.....will he accept me?'

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
That night, Brittany couldn't sleep. She kept thinking of Wufei. He had went home that night, but she couldn't keep her eyes off of him. Especially after the batroom episode. She couldn't think of what to say to him after that. She looked up at the ceiling. She wanted to tell him how she felt, but she was afraid. Wufei still had trouble opening up. She knew that there was no use in her staying up all night. Tomorrow was a Friday so she would sleep on it and hopefully she would know what to do in the morning.

And I still can't believe
That you came up to me and said "I love you"
I love you too!
Wufei got up early to find Quatre studying again as he usually did. Today, there was a religion test today. "I see you're up." said Quatre "Are you planning on coming to school today?"
"Hai, I'll be there. I don't feel like hanging around today." he answered
"That's good, so, did you have a fun time at Brittany's house yesterday?"
"I was not at Brittany's house yesterday."
"Wufei, I can read you like a book, you're blushing. Don't worry, I won't tell the others."
"That's ok to know......um Quatre?"
"Hai?"
"How do you say something to a girl but you try and it won't come out?"
"Well, when I want to say something to Christina, I try to get her alone with me before I say something to her. It makes things easier."
"Arigato. I need to go talk to Brittany, I'll see you at school."
He reached Brittany's house at no time at all. At the same time, she was also on her way to school. "Brittany!" he yelled out
He turned to see her and she was smiling. "Konnichiwa Wufei-sama! How are you this morning?" she asked
"I'm fine. I need to talk to you."
"That's good, I need to talk to you as well and since school is not for another half-hour, I guess we can talk."
"Good.....um....Brittany.....remember what happened last night?"
Her face turned slightly pink. "Hai, gomen nasai, I didn't think that it would effect you in any way."
The two of them stopped. Wufei looked up at the sky. "Nataku...."
"Wufei, I told you, she will always be proud of you."
He looked down at her. "You look a lot like her. The determination and stregnth."
"Wufei...."
He put a finger on her lip and got close to her face. "Aishiteru, Brittany."
Her face lit up and her face welled up with tears. She wrapped his arms around his waist and held him close, crying a bit in his chest.

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow and for all of my life
It was still a little early for homeroom and the four girls and Duo and Quatre were in the back of the room, talking. "Zechs Marquise? A singing star?" asked Duo
"Yeah, and so is Trieze Krushinada and Milliardo Peacecraft."
"Of course I like Trieze." said Chloe with hearts in her eyes "He looks wild and dangerous."
"Hey, isn't he a bit childish?" asked Meghan
"That's why we like him, right?" asked Ronnise
"Hai!" said Ronnise and Chloe
"I like Milliardo better. With that innaprochable beauty." said Meghan
"So hot." said Ronnise
"That's why we like him right?" asked Chloe
"Hai!" said the three in unison
"You girls are head over heals crazy." said Duo, making a sweatdrop
"Don't you guys." said Chrissy
Both guys made fake anime tears and fell over. "Not you too Christina." whined Quatre
"Don't forget about mysterious Zechs Marquise, with that intellectual adult mood."
"He's so cool." said Chloe
"That's why we like him right?" asked Meghan
"Hai!" said all four
"Hey wait a minute Christina, are you an anonomouys fan?" asked Meghan
That brought Chrissy out of her daze and her face turned red. "Uh.....I don't know that much about them."
she replied
"Isn't that Brittany coming in?" asked Ronnise
They all looked to see Brittany coming, face slightly pink. The two guys stood up and looked at her. "What's up with her?" asked Duo
"Oh I know." said Chloe, eyes turning to slits
The girl's faces lit up. "Brittany's got a boyfriend!" they said in unison
"Looks like Wufei finnaly said it." muttered Quatre under his breath
"Said what?" asked Duo
Quatre made a sweatdrop. "Nothing at all."
"Come on, tell me."
Quatre walked to his seat. "I swore to secretsy, can't tell you. Besides, Wufei would kill me."
"Damn....."
"So who is it?" asked Chloe
"Can't tell you, it's a secret." replied Brittany
"Awwww....." moaned the girls
Ronnise looked out the window and felt a headace coming on. Trowa noticed this and walked over to her. "What's wrong Ronnise?" he asked
She felt dizzy and Trowa caught her before she fell. "It's coming." she said
"What?" he asked
"The enemy."
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming of you endlessly
Kari: (tearing up) Wasn't that sweet?
Brittany: (blushing)Well Wufei, you can be very romantic when you want to be.
(Kari starts wailing because she's happy.)
Wufei: Humph! Yeah right, me, romantic.
(Duo puts his arm around Wufei's neck.)
Duo: Aww come on....wu-wu chan's finallly got a life.
Wufei: (vain mark appears) Omae o korosu!
(Wufei pulls out a gun and begins chasing Duo around the room.)
Kari: (sighs) Please review our fic while Brittany and I finally shut up Duo. Oh and coming up in Chapter 5, looks like Christina won't be the only one knowing about the gundams, beacuse the truth is going to be revealed.
