Chapter 3: The Act?

A/N Ch. 4 won't really be necessary to the story, I just wrote an angst story and so I got sappy in writing 4, and it's 1XR. This chapter will explain everything that happened so like I said 4 isn't really necessary if you don't feel like reading it.

Duo walked up the Heero, Punched him, then hugged him. "Don't you ever do that again!"

Quatre hesitantly asked "Heero? What's going on, how are you still alive?"

Wufei added "Sally told us she confirmed you as being dead, how can you possibly still be alive?"

After prying Duo off, Heero answered "Sally confirmed someone who looked like me. He was a death row inmate that was executed 2 days ago, a little makeup, a haircut, and a set of color contacts later and I had a double. If Sally had preformed a full autopsy she would have found it wasn't me, but the looks, the speech, and the potassium in the blood stream was enough to convince her."

Trowa was curious to say the least about how Heero had managed to pull this off "I assume that you actually made that speech, so how did you fool everyone and make the switch?"

"The shot was just Saline Solution, I faked the collapse, the 'Preventer' that pronounced my death was a friend who was in on it; so was the ambulance crew. Once I was on, I dressed as one of the paramedics and when we reached the hospital the body that was pulled out was that of my double."

"How does your plan work out from here?"

"The body is currently being cremated due to mixed up paperwork. As for myself, dyed and cut hair, and a mustache later, no one but the people who know me will be able to recognize me."

"Just how long have you been planning this anyway?"

"Shot notice, only the past 4 days when a friend told me about the inmate that was about to be executed. Before that I was going to turn myself in and take all the blame for the Gundam Pilots."

"But, you weren't the one to make those mistakes, Wing Zero was me…"

"The politicians would have had the choice of blaming the one they had and being heroes that kept the people safe, or have the one that did it is still at large and they have no idea who; causing public panic."

"Is it really going to stop now?"

"It's the same principle, accept that the pilots are dead, or cause panic by still looking for them."

"So what are you going to do now?"

"I still have a few loose ends to tie up, but starting in the fall 'Aidan Lowe' will begin teaching at L1's Heero Yuy University in the Computer Science department."

"Sounds like an interesting class, hey wait a minute, when did you get a degree?"

"I was in distance learning throughout the war, I finished it up rather quickly in the past year."

"So while you were still going around from school to school…?"

"I earned a Doctorate degree, I wasn't exactly in school for the education."

"You're really something else Heero, so what's Relena got to say about all this."

Heero was silent.

"You mean you didn't tell her yet?"

Heero mumbled something about 'next stop'

"Well good luck man, and don't loose touch now."

Heero nodded and left.
