Dream Maker: Well folks, standard yada. I do not own Gundam Wing. *sniffs* I wish I did but I don't. The G-boys and girls belong to their respectable owners. I am just using them for this twisted fic. I promise to return them, only slightly worse for the wear when we're through with them.
Christa: So how'd you like the last chapter? Want another one? Well here it is!
Dream Maker: No duh Christa. Sheesh, how stupid can a muse get?
Christa: They'd have to be pretty pathetic if they were any stupider than you, that's for sure.
Dream Maker: So you're calling yourself pathetic?
Christa: NANI?!?!? *beats the author over the head until little birdies are seen* Okay, on with the fic!

"What do you mean?" Zechs asked, confused.
"I guess you weren't listening when Relena asked me what would happen if I was killed in the future so I couldn't come back to the past." Alex replied. Then he looked over at Wufei fighting with Heero. "Wufei, its fine. I deserved what Heero gave me. Nothing more, nothing less."
"Deserved that?! Any normal person it probably would have killed and you say you deserved it?!"
"I see no reason why I didn't. I was acting like a child and I needed to be straitened out. Thank you Heero." Heero just glared at Alex before he walked back to the bedroom his children were sleeping in.
"How in the world did the kids sleep through this?" Quatre asked perplexed. He'd seen many strange things but not one of them could compare to this.
"I did it. The moment I knew the blast was coming I stopped their time until afterwards and then sped them past it. So they heard nothing. But we need to get away from here Quatre. Someone will come to make sure that we're dead soon and I don't want to be around to find out how many are sent."
"Agreed."
"Try to make sure the children don't wake up." Alex said to Quatre's retreating back.
~*~
Somehow they managed to get out of the house and back to Quatre's mansion without a single child waking up. It was agreed that it would probably be safer for everyone if they weren't all together in one spot because that made it easier for whoever it was to kill them. So quickly everyone left the mansion.
"So what happens with me?" Alex asked Quatre after everyone else had left.
"I'm sorry Alex but you'll only be staying here for the night. After that you'll be shuffled between houses. Everyone agreed that it was safest for all of us that way."
"I'm fine with that Quatre. I'm use to getting dumped off on other people."
"Huh?"
"Never mind Quatre. Oh, your cell phone's ringing." Alex said, pointing to the small phone hooked to Quatre's belt. Quatre quickly answered it and to his surprise it was Heero.
"Heero, is something wrong?"
"Yeah Quatre. Did you forget that there was that big political get-together over at the Mason's today? Relena just reminded me. She's a bit too shaken up to go and she wants someone to be there. So can I see you back there in five?"
"Heero, you should know by now that my door's always open. But yes, in all the excitement I did forget. But what about Alex? I don't think he would be suitable for a um… suit and tie occasion?"
"That's the other thing. Its totally casual. Everyone's going to be wearing jeans and that kind of stuff. See ya in five."
"Goodbye." Turning to Alex he spotted that be boy was gone. "Alex? Alex?! Where'd you go?"
"I'm back here in the library Quatre." He called for farther back in the house. Quatre quickly jogged back to the library to see him sitting behind his desk reading a thick novel.
"How'd you find your way back here so quickly?"
"It's one of the rooms I passed when I was running from Rachide last time I was here. Have you read this book?"
"No, I haven't had time to read in a few weeks. Why?"
"Pity. It's really a good one so far. I started it when I was ten but I never got to finish it. Well anyway, what did Heero want?"
"Huh? Oh!" Quatre had picked up a book that had been sitting on his desk for a while and gotten lost in it. "He wanted to remind me about a casual get-together someplace. I need you to come with us."
"Quatre I'm telling you now that I can't be a shield for you. I cant tell you what's going to happen and when exactly. I tried that and look what happened. I almost got you killed. It I hadn't been so sure about it that wouldn't have happened."
"Stop blaming yourself. It wasn't your fault. Everyone makes mistakes. I mean, come on. I almost killed Trowa once when I tried to master the zero system."
"I already knew that Quatre." Alex said without looking up from his book. "And you beat yourself up over it to."
"What? How did you.."
"I'm not subject to your time and certain things made it necessary to go back farther than just six years ago."
"Oh."
"Quatre? Quatre where are you? Quatre?!"
"Back here Heero."
"What are you doing back here? Don't you know we're suppose to leave in half an hour? You still need to get cleaned up! Look at all the dirt that's on you."
"And I suppose that your any better?" Quatre said sarcastically, rolling his eyes at his friend.
"I'm just saying that it doesn't look good to be late." A groan escaped Alex and they both looked toward him.
"I swear I never thought I'd see the day where Heero turned into more of a politician than both Quatre and Relena combined!"
"Anyway," Heero said turning his back on Alex, " We need to get ready and the punk needs to also."
"Fun, I save the lives of his friends and children and I get demoted to punk." Alex muttered as he snapped the book shut that he'd been holding. "What exactly am I going as? I can't be one of your children. How about Irea's long lost son? No one can prove who I am then." For a second Quatre got a pained look in his eyes but he nodded curtly and walked from the room.
"Watch your mouth boy. I don't want my friends getting hurt." Heero warned him.
"What is your problem with me Heero? I don't get it. You've been entirely antagonistic to me since the moment I walked through the door. Why?"
"Classified." Heero said before he walked off.
~*~
The barbecue was all that could be expected. It was filled with stuffy politicians and their bratty children. Much Heero and Quatre's amazement Alex totally avoided the children his age, girls or not, and instead hung out with the small children. Most of them were under the age of seven and had been turned loose to fend for themselves during the barbecue.
Alex remained his usual serious self during the entire thing. All of the adults avoided going near him but the children trusted hum. He spent the entire time giving the seven or so kids piggy-back rides, juggling for them, and doing acrobatics. Many of the tricks he did Quatre had seen Trowa perform at one time or another.
None too soon for the Adults it was time to leave but Alex looked back with sadness as they walked towards the waiting car. It wasn't a limmo so all three of them had to sit together in the back seat. Alex somehow got stuck sitting in between them.
As the car drove onto the highway Alex feigned being tired and leaned back against the seat to sleep. A few minutes later he skillfully slowed his breathing to that of a sleeping persons.
"Heero," Quatre said quietly. "Do you find anything strange about this boy?"
"Do you really need to ask? I haven't liked him since the moment I saw him. He's dangerous Quatre. There's no two ways about it."
"I know he could be but I meant besides that. Does he remind you of anyone?"
"He seemed to be acting a lot like Trowa at the barbecue if that's what you mean."
"Don't you find that odd?"
"Not really. Quatre, he could impersonate anyone of us if he wanted to. He's just skillful at that."
"But he said he was from the future."
"Yeah, so? If it wasn't for what happened earlier I'd say he was a total nutcase but now I say he planted the bomb himself."
"No, Heero I have an odd feeling about him. You remember right after the bomb went off how he was so shaken?"
What's Quatre getting at? He couldn't have figured out my secret already could he? No, please no. Don't have figured it out, Alex thought. Jus then the car hit a bump in the road and, since he couldn't tense his muscles without letting them know that he was awake, he slid sideways on the seat and his head landed on Heero's shoulder.
"What? Quatre, a little help please?" Heero asked as he moved to sit Alex back up.
"No Heero. Let him sleep. Besides, I barely tapped him earlier and you remember what happened. Just leave him be."
"Fine." Heero said flatly. "What were you saying?"
"I've always been able to tell what people are feeling but he's different somehow.'
"What are you getting at Quatre?" Heero asked suspiciously.
"I tried to feel how bad he was shaken up, but when I reached out I felt utter peace. It was like he was asleep."
"And?"
"And when he started babbling I remember him saying 'I'm the only one left.' Or at least something like that."
"Yeah? So? He was just seeing one of his so called memories."
"Heero, you're overlooking what I want you to see. Heero, I think one of us ex-gundam pilots is his father."

Dream Maker: Dunt dunt dunt! So what do you think? Any of you figure out what was going to happen before Quatre said it?
Quatre: So I was right?
Dream Maker: Well, we shall have to wait and see shan't we?
Christa: Mean person, making me stop writing like this. Its not fare!
Dream Maker: Well Christa, that's the way the cookie crumbles. But we had to stop on a cliffhanger to (hopefully) make sure they come back to read some more!
Christa: Well, okay. Hey people PLEASE give us your THEORIES ABOUT ALEX in your reviews. We'd like to know what you think about him. Because there are three more secrets bout him that you don't know! *evil laugh* And please r&r which means read AND REVIEW. Okay, bye! *waves*
