"It has been five years since the war has ended and peace has been established…." It was Christmas and Vice-president Relena Dorlian was giving a speech in national television. The four gundam pilots were in the living room of the Winner mansion, listening.

Quatre sat snuggled in Wufei's arms on the couch and Heero sat with Trowa leaning on his shoulder on the floor. They stared at television, paying only half attention to what was being said.

Wufei looked at the time and gently eased Quatre off of him. Quatre looked at him in surprise.

"It's time." Wufei said softly, touching the blond's cheek. Understanding showed in Quatre's eyes and he nodded. Trowa and Heero also got up and all of them went of their separate directions.

//Hold on to me love

you know I can't stay long

all I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid. Oh

Can you hear me? Can you feel me in your arms?//

Wufei entered his shrine room and sat down on the ground in front of the elevated platform. Five years ago, he had to add Duo's picture along with the others and it broke his heart.

He started talking to his ancestors and Duo and told them about things and his life…..but mostly…he talked to …Duo…

//Holding my last breath,

Safe inside myself, are all my thoughts of you?

Sweet rapture light, it ends here tonight//

Trowa lit the candles in the music room and stepped back. There were no other lights on, and the entire room was an eerie orange. Quatre stood off to another side, lighting the candles in the other end of the room. On the piano stood the book of poetry and the music sheets.

Quatre took the piano and Trowa pulled out his flute and both of them started to play the beautiful melody in memory of Duo…..

//I'll miss the winter

a world of fragile things

look for me in the while forest hiding in a hollow tree, come find me

Can you hear me? I can taste it in your tears//

Heero made his way to the cemetery, dressed in a simple white shirt and Khaki pants. He walked towards a single headstone and stopped beside him. He did nothing for a moment and then laid down the roses that he had brought. Duo had always loved roses. They were hard to find in the winter but Heero had managed every year and would continue to do so for the coming years.

//Holding my last breath

safe inside myself

are all my thoughts of you

sweet rapture light

it ends here tonight//

A crescendo, a flute harmonizing…..

//Closing your eyes to disappear//

Four pairs of eyes shut tight….

//You pray your dreams will leave you here//

Each one silently praying for what they knew couldn't happen…

//But still you wake and know the truth

NO ONE's there.//

Eyes opened, tears fall, even for the Perfect soldier…

//Say good night…don't be afraid…Calling me Calling me

as you fade to black…//

Wufei signed sadly and peacefully, knowing that Duo was safe, and settled into a deep meditative state.

Quatre and Trowa finished the song they were playing and sat in silence, reminiscing…

Heero smiled slightly and touched his fingertips to his lips and then to the headstone and walked away…..

And then a laughter of a young 15-year could be heard whenever Winter came along….
