I don't own Gundam Wing nor do I know anyone who does!
Chapter 3: The Journals
"No wait I don't get this... My Dad was an assassin of sorts and my Mom was the ruler of a now defunct country?" Harea asked confused and doubtful.
"Yeah I know odd couple..." Duo said with a sad sigh that Harea caught but said nothing about. "But look I've got six of your Mother's journals she wrote that your Uncle found and told me to hold on to. I'm going to go get them and I want you to read them, ok?"
"Yeah I mean, no I don't want to know what my parents were like." She said in playful sarcasm. Duo cracked a smile before getting up from the table and leaving the room. "I wonder why he sighed like that... Did he like my Mom or something?" Harea thought as she waited. "Or maybe he misses one or the other of them. I mean he must have known them if he knew my Uncle..." Duo interrupted her train of thought as he sat back down and slid the stack of books in front of her.
"You've got plenty of reading to do but I still think I should start training you on how to pilot a Gundam. I mean you've definitely got potential and with a bit of training, you could be really lethal." He said with a smile.
"Thanks Duo... This really means a lot to me. You're all I have left now..." She got up and dropped to her knees as she hugged him tightly around the waist. "I love you. You've always been my best friend and took care of me."
"Well I mean it's no biggie..." Duo said turning bright red. "I'd do anything for my best-friend's daughter." He said easing a bit and wrapping an arm around her. The color slowly faded from his face while she sat there nuzzled into his side. "Hey it's been a long hard day for both of us why don't you go get some sleep. I've got a few things to take care of."
"All right." She responded letting go slowly. She stood up and slid the books on to her arm. Duo stood up and took three from her.
"Here I'll help you with that." He said then following her out of the diningroom and down the hall towards the sleeping quarters. "Are you going to be all right?" He asked turning to face her when they came to her door.
"Yeah I just need to absorb everything that's happened." She said with a tired sigh then pressed the door button with her free hand. They both walked into her room and sat the books down on her desk. Duo turned and walked out of the door. He was just about to hit the button when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Wait please." She said quietly and he turned to look at her. She got up on her tip toes and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Thanks for everything. Night."
"Night." He responded trying to keep from blushing again. She walked away and he closed the door. After the door had completely closed he turned around and slumped back onto it. "She's way to mature to be just 14..." He thought as he pushed off the door and walked away.
Harea went back over to her desk her heart racing a little bit but she didn't know why. "I'm just stressed." She said quietly sitting down in the desk chair. She opened up the top journal and looked at the date. She opened another one and noticed they were out of order. She found the one with the earliest starting date and started reading. She was almost halfway through the first book when she yawned and laid her head down.
"Just a quick nap." She said aloud as she closed her eyes.
