- Chapter 4 -
It was ten to five when Heero and Wufie showed up. They played a game of one on one for a couple minutes before Trowa arrived. "Hey, Trowa," Duo said. "Nice to see ya." "Hello, Duo," Trowa said. "So this is the little girl that the girls were talking about. Looks like you." "Yeah I know," said Duo scratching his head. "I've been getting that a lot lately." "Duo, is he another friend?" asked Jesse. "Huh? Oh yeah," said Duo. "Trowa, this is Jesse. Jesse, this is Trowa." "Nice to meet you, Mr. Trowa," said Jesse with a curtsy. Trowa blushed. "Nice one, Jes," said Heero bouncing the basketball. "It's hard to get Trowa to blush." "I didn't mean too," said Jesse looking at Trowa. "I really didn't." Trowa gave the little girl a little smile. "It's okay," he said. "Don't worry about it." "Hey you guys," called Kathy as she and Quatre came towards them. "Hey," called Duo. "Wow, Duo, Jesse looks just like your sister with her long braid," said Kathy as she waved to Jesse. "That's what Mr. Trowa said," said Jesse giving Kathy a hug. Jesse noticed Quatre and smiled. "You must be Mr. Quatre," said Jesse. "Duo's said a lot about you and Miss Kathy." Quatre looked at Duo in surprise. "Oh and what else has Duo said?" asked Quatre. "Um, he told me that Heero is a nut bag and that Wufie-" said Jesse but was interrupted when Duo picked her up and started to tickle her. "Hey, Duo. Knock it off." Added Jesse with a laugh. "Now what were we here to talk about?" asked Duo as he put Jesse in Kathy's arms. "The reason you went undercover," said Heero. "Oh, Trowa and I were talking about how to get OZ information without getting caught," said Duo. "Then I noticed one day how close this group of Goths were to the complex. I thought that if I could get Blake to trust me as a Goth then we could get the information that we need to stop them." "Good idea, Duo," said Quatre. "Has it worked?" asked Kathy. Trowa reached inside his coat pocket and pulled out a mini computer. "It's all right here," Trowa said. "Have you annualized the information on it yet?" asked Wufie. Trowa turned to him and said, "Yes and we've found that their next target it the Wiggles World Private High School tomorrow at noon. We need to be ready for when they do attack." "Right," said Kathy. "Should we warn Relena and the students first?" "It's already been taken care of," said Heero. "Then all we have to do is wait," Quatre said. They all stood in silence. After a while the guys decided to play basketball, while Kathy and Jesse watched.
The next day, OZ attacked as planned. The fight lasted a few hours before the enemy retreated back to base. The Gundam boys searched for Jesse's parents for several months before finding them in the local cemetery. When Duo told Jesse the bad news he promised to keep her with him for as long as he could before she had to be put with another family. As the years went by, Jesse began to call Duo her big brother. The church, to Duo's amazement, never placed Jesse with a loving family. They let him raise her as his little sister.
At the sweet age of eighteen, Jesse moved out of the church. It was a cool autumn morning, when Jesse began to move her things. The sun had just began to pour over the ridge when Jesse and Duo woke. Jesse rolled over and curled up next to Duo. They had continued to share his bed for there were no extra rooms in the church for Jesse to move into. Duo opened his eyes and smiled at his sleeping sister. Time to wake sleeping beauty. I can't believe she's moving out onto her own. Thought Duo as he stroked Jesse's floor long brown hair. Oh well. She will always be my little sister. No matter what. "Jes, time to get up," said Duo gently as he nudged the sleeping woman beside him. "Jesse." Jesse jerked and looked up at Duo. "What?" she asked rubbing her eyes. "It's morning already. Can't we sleep in a little longer? Please, big brother." Duo smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "No," he said. "We need to get up and get you moved before Father Michael kills us." "Okay," she said sitting up. Jesse swung her feet off the bed and stretched. Duo sat up and wrapped his arms around her waist. Jes laid her head back onto his shoulder and signed. "I can't believe I'm moving already," she said. "I know," said Duo letting her go as he climbed off the bed. "But you'll have more of a chance at exceeding in life if you move out." "Your right," Jesse said going into the bathroom. At noon, the gang arrived and helped Jesse move into her apartment. It was nearly three when they were done. "I'll see you guys tonight," Jesse said as they all left her apartment. "Bye." "Bye, Jes," said Quatre as the door shut. "I hope she'll be okay," said Kathy. "Don't worry," said Heero. "Duo will make sure." "Yep," said Duo as they climbed into the car and drove down the road. Boom. An explosion behind them made Trowa slam on the breaks and turn the car around. The apartment building that they had just left was now gone and all that was left ruble and clouds of smoke. They returned to the area and began to look for Jesse. Duo found her barely breathing under a cement slab. "Jesse," said Duo as he held her in his arms. "Duo, it hurts," she said gripping his hand. "It really hurts." "Don't worry. We're going to get you to a hospital," he said. "Call 911. Now!" "I have something to tell you, Duo," Jesse said with a weak smile. "What is it, Jes?" Duo asked. "I love you," she said. "Not just as a brother, but as a man who I wanted to be involved with. But now that will never happen." "Don't say that," he said. Just then the paramedics arrived and they rushed Jesse off to the hospital. The gang followed the ambulance to the hospital. They waited several hours before seeing Jesse's doctor. He was not happy at all. Kathy began to cry at once when she saw the doctor's expression. "Well?" asked Heero as Trowa comforted Duo and Quatre comforted Kathy. "I'm sorry but she won't survive the night," the doctor said. "I'm very sorry. You can stay with her until she passes if you want." "Thank you," said Trowa leading Duo and the others to Jesse's room. As they entered the room, the touch of death wrapped around them. Jesse was sleeping while they watched her lay there. It was around eleven-fifty when she woke up. "Hey guys," Jesse said. "How do I look?" "You look wonderful," Duo said stroking her hair. "It's almost time for me to go," she said. "I wish I could have stayed longer." "You did what God put you here to do," said Quatre. They sat there in silence. She closed her eyes and went to sleep. Duo leaned over and kissed her ever so gently on the lips. "I love you more than a sister," he whispered. "I, too, wanted to be lovers. Good-bye, my sweet angel and may you be in peace. " At the stroke of midnight, Jesse left them to join her parents. The Gundam pilots left in tears. Two days later they buried Jesse next to her parents in the local cemetery. Every Sunday, Duo brings her red roses and says, "May we be together soon, my sweet angel. You died too soon for me, but I love you."
