Chapter 5: The Plan

The next two weeks were uneventful. The days were full of class work and training. Trowa and I found a little time together in that time, but it wasn't long and it wasn't much. Our feelings were increasing, but we didn't have any way to show how we truly cared about each other without someone finding out. A few days before the end of the first month, at the end of one of my 'meetings' with Commander Blake, I found out how I would be getting out of the program early:

"A freak accident kills you!" cried Commander Blake, amused by his own idea.

"What type of freak accident?"

"It will be during training, in two days. When you are running along the bridge, run close to the edge. You know where the rail of the bridge is weak? Good, well your going to trip and fall into it, breaking it and falling off the bridge. I will be waiting for you at the bottom."

"So I really will die. that fall will kill me!"

"No it won't. All you have to do is fall feet first in a straight line. The water is deep so you won't hit the bottom, and as long as you stay as straight as possible and go feet first you should come out with nothing more than a few bruises and a possible broken bone or two."

"I see"

"Trust me, its OK, I've done it before. it use to be a part of the training. The cadets use to jump off. They only stopped before 3 cadets died in one year from doing it, but really there is nothing to worry about."

Lets just say I left that meeting a little optimistic.

------------------------------------

The two days passed rather quickly, and before I knew it, I fouled myself changing into the required shorts and shirt for the usual warp-up run. I meet everyone outside as we waited for Lieutenant Reid to show up. I walked over to where Dorothy, Relena and Trowa were standing, huddling together in the cool morning air.

"Good morning everyone! I hope you slept well because we are going to have a nice long run, followed by an intense workout! Right then, lets get started!"

As usual, Lieutenant Reid, set off in front and everyone followed. We started on a brisk pace, which warmed us up rather quickly.

It was a 2 mile jog to the bridge. Dorothy, Relena and Trowa were jogging close to me, which wouldn't be good when I had to fall because one of them might try to 'save' me. When I spotted the bridge I picked up pace in an attempt to lose the others.

"Hey Heero, what's up?" I could hear Relena calling but I paid her no attention. I was almost at the bridge now, my old life was coming to an end. The bridge signified my new life. A life of secrets and loneliness, where no one would know the true me. Some people might have been scared of that fact. But not me. I was living a lie as it was now, I always had been. No one knew the true me. I was actually looking forward to this. I needed something new.

I was on the bridge, it wasn't much further now, I could see the weak section calling to me. begging me to just break it already so it didn't have to go through the agony of doing it itself.

I was there. I was at the spot. When all of a sudden.....

------------------------

What should I do? should I have someone stop him? should someone fall with him? or should someone touch him but he falls anyone and leaves everyone on the bridge? You guys decide!

(if I don't get any replies on what should happen, I might not continue! I like threats! so much fun. but seriously, you guys tell me what should happen. I can't decide which scenario to pick so I'll let you decide and which ever gets the most votes I'll do. the sooner I get the votes, the sooner I get the next part up!!!!!)
