"You yourself said that she is not the only one of her type." A tall man before him said, standing up to the doctor. "We are not loosing anything unique."

"A human life is unique." He shouted back.

Heero looked down hearing this battle of ethics at the small version of him. Yes, he remembered this, but not this well. Heero remembered walking out of the room and down the hall into the little girl's room. She was seated on a mat on the floor, playing with blocks, building and rebuilding them. The blue-eyed boy kneeled down in front of her, watching her build and rebuild different structures. "Why are you doing that?"

The little girl looked up. "I love playing with blocks. It is my favorite thing to do!"

"They say you are smart."

The girl nodded "The say you are too."

"Then why do you play with blocks?"

"Then why do you ask such stupid questions?"

Heero was quiet then, it was a good come back. He looked up when he saw her hand him a block. "We make things because it makes us happy, we knock them down because it makes us happy to try a better way."

When she finished talking one of the men walked in and pulled Heero off the floor "I didn't tell you, you could wonder off!" Heero was shook then pulled out the door. The block in his hand fell to the floor when he was shook. Rose picked it back up and continued playing with the blocks, the boy already forgotten for the day.

Heero continued to look down at the girl when he felt a hand touch his he looked to the left. It was Rose. "I did remember you. I thought of you everyday, I think as far as human worlds can verbalize the meaning of the feeling; I was in love with you. And I told that to the Doctor. He said to me 'You will see him again soon'. And I believed him."

Heero turned from Rose to look back at the child on the floor, but when he did, he was no longer in the little room.

Heero looked around, he saw it was AC 190. They would have been 12 at that time, he would have been training day in and day out for the day of Operation Meteor.

He saw himself training in the white room. His mind was being trained for the true emptiness of outer space.

Heero then turned from himself and saw her, the black haired girl. He turned quickly and fallowed, She was being escorted through the halls into a large room.

'We where so close.' Heero said in awe to Rose who walked swiftly beside him.

'We always where.'

She was set down onto a table where she was hooked up to heart monitors, brain monitors, and many other machines that he didn't recognize. The information was being flowed to a transfer desk from there it was transferred to another room. Heero fallowed the wires into the next room, where there he saw the skeleton or a monster. It took only a moment for him to realize it was Wing, 5 years from completion.

Heero could feel the warmth of her hand in his. 'It was still three more years before I was committed to the heart of the machine. It was too early for them; it came from a power surge, an attack by a small anti militant group. My body was dead, and I was the Wing. Or in it.'

Heero saw the mass confusion and people dashing from room to room. A nurse came and grabbed Rose from the bed. Heero Held her hand tighter then when he saw himself ran past Rose in the nurses arms. "We knew so much about each other. We just never knew it. But, I was there, within the Wing from that moment until I was awakened. I was the system that kept you alive, that kept your mind and the machine in time together. I could do this for you and only you, and I tried harder, because, back then, I loved you."

Heero looked over his shoulder down at her. "So what are you now?"

"I am, just a girl, with the ability to remember, and everything I know, I can let you know." She smiled "Had I found you, you would have never been alone. But, you have done well, at becoming human on your own."

"What do you mean?"

"That we are more then human, the next stage so is your friends she said pointing to Duo. They all are. And there are many more like us now. Evolution has made sure of that. That we could live out side of our element, of our bodies, and of our earth."

Rose walked behind Heero wrapping her arms around his arms and chest she pressed her hands onto his breast bone. He could feel her cold arms against his, her chin against his neck. "Every time you had to fight, I would hold you like this. It was nothing sexual, but I cherished every moment of having you there. You where the only human I knew for six years imprisoned in the Wing. I know from holding you here now, that you never knew I existed." Her hot breath pushed past his neck and chin and he felt her arms pull him tighter against her.

"I could not have known." Heero said, not pulling again from her arms.

"I know, you are the soldier, the perfect soldier, you couldn't love a civilian, none the less a officer that you had never met."

"So," Heero finally turned around to face her "What is your story really about? Is it about how you wish that you lived a different life, about how you for some reason love me?" Heero said in almost a sneer.

Her eyes nearly narrowed as they peered up at her fellow soldier. "One other thing I want to show you, then I'll tell you."

"Wha—?" He couldn't finish, her hands had pushed at him palms first and when they struck his chest he felt in sudden pain and terror his heart stop beating. He panicked and tried to cry out in fury but to no avail. But calm soon fell over him, a soft calm heart, and a song in his mind as two softer gentler hands wrapped them selves around his chest and pulled him up into her own chest, he could feel her heat beat against his back and a sudden fury of pain as his own heart in took blood for what felt like the first time. He heard it roar in his mind and then a calm, then nothing but her humming in his ear. 'What did you do?'

'I did, what I did every time you piloted the Wing, I killed you, and brought you back.'

Rose lifted her head from his shoulder and looked over at Duo. "Did you hear all that?"

Duo was laying down on the floor gazing up at the ceiling. "Woo, Rose, please, next time we go into a trip into the past/ twilight zone what ever- please let me fasten my seat belt." Duo rolled over to stand up Rose had to help him the rest of the up "Heero, you where such a cute little kid!" he said slapping his friend on the back.

"Yes, I know." Heero said folding his arms and looking back over at the girl now seated on the kitchen stool. "So it was all true?

"Hell ya." You think all things in love and wars are fair? And make sense. To answer your question back there, I just needed to get out my frustration. I don't know if I am still in love with you. I really think that I am, but believe me, that really does not over shine the fact that I just used you both as world-class punching bags."

"My lady, that is what we where placed on this planet to be." Duo said placing his arm over her shoulder and knocking her twice on the head.
