Chapter 2
The crew was very nice to me. And for some reason,I thought that the cammander had a serious crush on me. I would be starting school on Monday. Was I scared? Well,a little because I would starting out in a high school. But other than that,I felt fine. I just hoped that I could keep my indentity to myself. I tried to be as social as I could in the school. But I kept wondering if anyone would find out about my past. I was scared because I was making friends and I didn't want anyone to know what my past was like and that I was a war orphan.
But something happened that weekend. Something that will haunt my forever. The day had started out like a regular day. I hadn't gotten any calls from Trowa,but I didn't worry about that. I knew he was doing just fine. But then something happened.
"Lt! We've got a problem!"yelled the commander as he found me after school.
"Commander,I told you not to call me during school!"
"I know! But this is important."
I had no choice but to go with him. Funny,I thought. They're aren't any mobile suits. "Alright. What's the situation?"I asked as I got into Nanashi.
"Gundam pilots 01 and 03 have been spotted on the radar. They're trying to fight this new type of mobile suit,and it looks really bad."
03,oh my god! That's Trowa,I thought! "You have no idea who is piloting the new mobile suit?"
"No. They said it's actually a new type of gundam."
Now that scared me. How many gundams are there,I thought. I thought there were only 5!
"Do you know what it's called?"
"Hang on........It's called the Wing Zero Gundam."
"WING ZERO?!
"That's a bad thing?"
"Yes,and if Quatre has a hand on that thing,he'll destroy all of outer space,and he'll kill Trowa."
"So you're gonna try and stop him."
"I'm sorry,but I have to. Trowa needs him."
"But you'll die!"
"I'm sorry,but I have to save Trowa. And I don't want you to try and stop me. I'm going to go all out on this." He gave me a salute and left. Nanashi,I'm sorry,but I have to save Trowa. I can't let him die,I thought. If I did,I wouldn't know what to do.
Not only was Quatre at the fight,but Heero was there too! And Quatre wasn't being soft at all. I can't believe they actually built that thing! Quatre,what the hell are you doing,I thought. "TROWA!"
"Nicole,go back home. You shouldn't be here!"
"No Trowa. I can't do that. I can't let you die!" Trowa,I've known you to long,I thought. I would probably kill myself if you died.
"Nicole,you're being a fool."
"Trowa,I love you. So I can't let you die." But Quatre wasn't going to stand for this. He fired a shot without warning us. But I saved Trowa. "Quatre,what the hell is wrong with you?! How could you've been crazy to make this thing?!"
"Nicole,he's gone crazy because of the grief in his heart. There's no point in talking to him. He won't listen."
Quatre fired another shot. He tried to fire it at me,but Trowa pushed me out of the way. "TROWA! NO!"
"Nicole,I'm sorry. But it had to end like this. Go back to Earth and retreat,"and with that,the Veayete blew up into peaces.
"TROWA! NOOOOOOOO! DAMNIT!" I slammed my fist down on the arms.
"Nicole,you'd better do what Trowa says,"said Heero. "I'll take care of Quatre."
"Alright,"and left to go back to Earth.
I was sadden and shocked when I got back to Earth. I couldn't believe that Quatre had done such a thing. He had gone crazy,I thought. Something had happened to him a few days ago. His father had died or something. I remembered they had something about that on the news.
The crew had been tuning into the fight,so they knew about the retreat. They saluted me for at least trying to save Trowa.
To tell you the truth,I was about to cry. Trowa was dead(or at least I thought he was),and I wouldn't be fighting for a while. Christmas was coming up soon,and I really wanted to spend with Trowa. Trowa,why did you do this? I told you I didn't want you to die,I thought. I don't want you trying to protect me. I can protect myself.
I couldn't stop thinking about Trowa in the weeks to come. I was just to sad. I wouldn't talk to anybody,and I was starting to get depressed. I missed him to much. The only thing I was happy about was that OZ was finally over with. The problem now was Romefellar.
Romefellar was like OZ the 2nd. They hated the gundams,and they would kill anybody who stood in their way. I heard they had already started attacking people in Europe,but I wasn't to worried about it. This was a very peacefull place. I would probably be surprised if OZ or Romefellar tried to attack us when Relena's on the brick.
"Nicole,it's Duo,"said that fimilair voice that I hadn't heard in about a month.
"What is it?"
"I've found Trowa."
"Oh my god! He's alive!"
He gave me a look. "Yeah."
"What was that for?"
"Haven't you been in contact with him?"
"No. Why?"
"Good. I want you to come up the colonies now."
"Alright. I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Fine. C-ya in a minutes,"and the screen went blank.
Oh my god! Trowa's alive and well! I knew he would make it through this! "Alright Duo. This had better be good,"I said when I found him.
"Nicole,I wanna know what happened to Trowa. He isn't acting like himself."
"What do you mean?"
"He doesn't remember us anymore. I'm getting scared."
"When did you find him?"
"Yesterday,at the circus with Hilde."
Great,I thought. The blast must've made him lose his memory. Well,at least he isn't dead. "Alright,I'll tell you what happened. Quatre went crazy and almost killed Trowa. I'm not kidding."
"Great. So that's the reason why we never got any word from Quatre while we were at the Lunar Base."
"You got captured didn't you."
"You aren't the only one who knows."
"I know. They should your gundam getting destroyed on Earth too. I can't believe how stupid the colonies are now."
"I know what you mean."
"Duo,I want to go see Trowa again."
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
"What do you mean?"
"Well,see,there's this girl who won't let him fight. Trust me. She almost slapped my face. I think she's crazy."
"It's Catherine. Don't worry about her."
"Oooooh. So you know her?"
"Yes,unfortunately."
"I understand what you mean."
"I want him back though. We were supposed to spend Christmas together. And that was a promise that he was going to keep."
"Nicole,Trowa's a gundam pilot. He can't keep a lot of secrets. I know I haven't kept a lot. Only that I may run and hide,but I never tell a lie."
"Then tell me one thing."
"What?"
"Where the hell is Trowa?!"
"WHAT?! Nicole,c'mon! With he's memory gone,Trowa has no chance of coming back."
"I don't care. I'm going to do whatever I can to get the love of my life back to me."
He sighed. "I don't know what to say. I know I can't stop you. I just think that you're being crazy and foolish. You'll be lucky if you pull this off."
"I know Duo. But I've got to try."
"I know,I know."
I put my hand on his shoulder. "If you ever find the other gundam pilots,tell them not to worry. Trowa'll be back soon. I promise."
He smiled,and started to walk off,but then stopped. "Hey,if you wanna join us in outer space,there's a guy named Howard who has a ship named Peacemillion. I asked if it was ok if you could stay there. He said he wouldn't mind,"and with that,he left.
