Please forgive me if any of the Gundam Wing facts are wrong… I haven't watched it for 7 years, so I remember nearly nothing from it.

XXXXXXXXXX

Kira looked happily out the window of Quatre's mansion. He was currently sitting on his bed in his room. It has been a year since Duo had found him injured in the alley. Nobody recognized him, so Quatre allowed him to stay at the mansion, being the gentle and kind man he was.

His injuries were long gone by now. His memories still haven't returned, but Kira didn't want them too. He felt so much at ease here, plus he was making wonderful memories with the 5 pilots anyways. But whenever he sees something that was familiar to him, something that was from his past, Kira would feel this intense pain throughout his body. He didn't know why, and it only happened once when he saw a picture of a Gundam.

Everybody there was close to Kira, since he had nobody else. Although, Heero was still a bit hostile, but it's Heero, he's hostile to everybody once in a while. Heero was as cold as always, not saying much, always threatening people with that gun of his. But people could tell that he was growing a bit softer, especially around the 17-year old boy.

Quatre was still the kind and gentle man. He would do much to help anyone. He didn't change much over the year.

Wufei was still the same arrogant and proud man he was, with the exception that he doesn't threaten Duo as much as he did before. Mostly because of Kira, who would be the shield whenever Wufei would unleash his katana. The Chinese man seemed hesitant to threaten the cheerful, but at times scared boy. He would promise to cut off Duo's braid later, but Duo would always stick around the violet-eyed boy, so Wufei would growl and get him later, but he would forget anyway.

Trowa was still the quiet, although he spoke just a tiny bit more now. He quit being a clown half a year ago, and nobody know why because he never told them. Nobody pried except for Duo, who gave up after Trowa kept on glaring at him for asking.

Duo… Kira grinned when he thought of him. Duo was still the happy-go-lucky guy Kira had met a year ago. His cheery attitude never seems to cease, but that was what made Kira think that Duo was probably the closest to him. He was there to cheer him up when he woke up from the nightmares he had occasionally.

Kira had nightmares in the first 6 months after his recovery. They were always the same, starting out with him in a mobile suit, and then the green-eyed boy screaming at him. The words the green-eyed boy screamed at him always echoed so much, especially one phrase…

'You MURDERED Nicol! How could you!'

Kira shuddered. He didn't like to think that he killed somebody, but he was pretty sure that the nightmare was more like a memory than anything. Duo did find him in a flight suit. But… the war ended 4 years ago, so there shouldn't be any fighting or any Mobile Suits anyways.

"Kira?" A voice broke Kira from his thoughts. He turned and saw Quatre standing at his doorway.

"Hey," Kira greeted, "is everything alright?"

"Yeah, Duo wanted to go out for lunch, he was saying something about being bored," Quatre smiled. "You know how Duo is."

"Yeah," Kira smiled back. "I'll be down there in a second." He stretched a bit and went to the door.

Quatre said. "Let's go then."

"Alright." The two of them headed down 3 flights of floors before ending up in the main living room in the mansion. "You should get a smaller house," Kira grumbled as he flopped down onto a couch.

Quatre laughed. "I'm sorry. Is it tiring you?"

"A bit," Kira smiled. "So, Duo, where were you planning to go?"

"I don't know," Duo said, sitting on the spot next to Kira. "I was thinking of Chinese food, but then there's Arabian food, hmmm… maybe Vietnamese food, no, I know! Thailand food…" Duo rambled on about which type of food they were going to go to. Then he went on about what was good about which types of food. "Chinese food taste awesome, especially the fried rice. But then there's Vietnamese food, I love their spring rolls…"

"Shut up!" Wufei growled. "We'll just go outside and eat in the place closest to here!"

"That's a fine idea," Quatre said, interrupting Duo whose mouth was open. "Is that alright with everybody else?"

"Yeah… whoa! I didn't know your chandelier gives off light of its own!" Duo exclaimed. Everybody's head snapped up at the crystal chandelier above their head.

"Are you sure you didn't turn on the chandelier?" Kira asked curiously.

"Yeah, it's morning, nobody turns on the lights in the morning!" Quatre said amazed. "Plus, the light the chandelier gives off is yellow, not white!"

The white light flashed and everybody shielded their eyes. When they removed their hands, they found themselves not inside Quatre's mansion, but inside a white oblivion.

"What…?" Duo's mouth was opened wide. "What happened? We're not in the mansion anymore!"

"Genius!" Wufei hissed. "Where are we?"

"Somewhere between the dimensions you live in…" an echoing voice said.

"What do you mean dimension?" Heero growled drawing his gun. "Show yourself!"

As if commanded, a wispy mist gathered at a place, and a boy appeared. He had curly brown hair and kind brown eyes. He was dressed in a white robe. "You live in dimensions. There are billions upon billions of dimensions, each different from each other."

"Dimension?" Kira asked confused. "Why haven't anybody heard of them before then?"

When the boy's eyes found Kira, something flashed in his eyes, a friendly look and recognition. "Because nobody can find these dimensions. They are impossible to be found."

Heero aimed his gun at the boy. "Who are you?"

"I am somebody dead, and I have been given the job to transport you to another dimension. One of you has been in this dimension, in fact he belonged there, before I transported him here… I'm sure you know who it is I'm talking about." Tolle's eyes fell on Kira.

"What?" Kira's eyes widened in surprise. "What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid I can't say more," the boy said. Heero growled and shot at him a few times.

"Wait Heero," Trowa warned. "He said he was dead…" It was too late though.

The 6 of them prepared to see him fall over, but the bullets simply went through him. "Didn't I already say that I was dead?"

"Impossible," Wufei snapped. "What you are saying is impossible!"

"Is it?" the boy said. "You'll find out sooner or later…" the boy hesitated a moment and then glanced at Kira. "Be careful…"

"What are you talking about? Hey!" Kira groaned as he felt the whiteness swirling around him… he felt as if he was falling.

The mysterious boys' voice vibrated around them. "Heero… protect your brother…"

"What?" Heero growled in confusion. But the boy was gone, along with the white scenery, which was replaced by a swirling of colors.

They suddenly appeared about 5 feet above the ground, falling. They all groaned when they hit the ground.

"Is everyone alright?" Quatre asked concerned.

"Hn." Heero stood up with no problems. He looked around the hidden alley.

"…" Trowa stood beside Heero and waited for the others to get up.

"Yeah!" Duo stood enthusiastically.

"Whatever," Wufei muttered; he turned and helped the last member up.

"Oww…" Kira accepted the help and stumbled up. "I'm fine."

"I guess the boy was right then," Quatre said, looking out from the alley. "This place doesn't look like anything from our world." The others walked out as well.

A city stood before them, with bustling people, cars, everything you would expect in a normal city. The 6 of them entered it carefully; Heero had his gun out, and at his side, Wufei's hand was on his katana. The people there glanced at them worriedly, and avoided them as if they were a plague. Who wouldn't though?

"If what the boy said was correct, then we are in another 'dimension'," Quatre said looking around the buildings. "We should try to blend in with the people, not scare them away." Heero hesitated before putting his gun back into its holster. Wufei scowled but let his hand drop from his katana's hilt.

"Our clothes don't fit with these peoples," Duo observed with a grin. "That means we have to go SHOPPING! Come one!"

"You have to be kidding me!" Wufei growled. "No way!"

"He has a point," Kira said. "We look out of fashion…"

"I'm not entering that… thing!" Wufei scowled.

"Are you telling me you've NEVER went inside a mall before?" Duo teased. "Ooohhh… your mommy must buy all your clothes for you!"

"SHUT UP!" Wufei hissed, annoyed.

"You're attracting unwanted attention," Trowa warned as people started to stare at them weirdly. The Chinese man quieted down, but his heated glare was still on Duo.

"Hn, as much as I hate being in a mall, the braided-baka has a point," Heero said. "Let's go."

Duo's jaw dropped a mile. "W-What!"

"Didn't you want to go anyways? It was your idea…" Quatre said.

"Hee-man actually… agreed with me!" Duo said as if it was an impossible thing.

"Shut up and walk." Heero was already at the end of the street. "We still need to find a mall."

"I can't believe I'm actually doing this…" Wufei muttered but followed them.

"Somebody should ask someone for directions," Quatre said. "How about you Kira? The boys said you came from here… do you remember?"

"No, or else I would've said something," Kira shook his head.

"I'll go then," Quatre offered. He walked up to a walking old lady. "Excuse me?"

"Yes, dear boy?" the old lady said kindly.

"Do you know where any nearby malls we can go to?" the blonde boy asked.

"Oh, first time here in Orb?" the old lady asked.

"Uh, yes it is," Quatre said smiling.

"Well, you can go to the Orb's super mall over there," the old lady pointed over to a huge building. "You'll find everything you need."

"Thank you," Quatre said.

"You're welcome," the old lady said and continued on her way.

The blue-eyed boy returned to the group. "Come on, the big building over there is one."

"Wow, that's a huge mall!" Duo exclaimed. "Awesome! Come on!"

XXXXXXXXXX

"Cagalli!" A blue haired boy shook a blonde girl in her sleep. "Wake up! We have to meet the others for the reunion… remember?"

"Go away!" the blonde princess mumbled. "Later…"

"Cagalli! We're supposed to meet them in an hour!" Athrun desperately shook her.

Cagalli immediately jumped up. "AN HOUR! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO EARLIER!"

"I did, you just didn't hear me!" Athrun said amused when his girlfriend tripped over herself trying to get ready in time.

Half an hour later…

"Ready!" Cagalli raised her fist triumphantly. "Come on! I didn't get ready this fast to be late!" The two of them jumped into their car.

Athrun was silent and hesitant throughout half the ride. Cagalli, who was annoyed at the silence, snapped at him. "What's with you? Why the silent face?"

"I-I don't think it's a good idea for me to go…" Athrun trailed off.

"Nonsense!" Cagalli rolled her eyes. "We've already been through this. Sai, Miriallia, Dearka, me, you, Lacus and Yzak will meet at the Orb mall for lunch and a day of shopping."

"They… wouldn't want to see me… they didn't before, and they won't after," Athrun muttered.

"Look, everyone agreed to this," Cagalli said. "Even Sai."

"He did it reluctantly," Athrun argued. "He doesn't want to see me… don't you remember what happened when he first saw me?"

"Yeah," Cagalli nodded looking out the window. "I remember, Miriallia told me…"

(Flashback)

Athrun landed on the ground in the Archangel's launching deck. He was back from the fight in Orb, saving Archangel with the newly acquired Justice. He was met with the crew of the Archangel, and surprisingly, Dearka as well.

They looked at him suspiciously, except for Dearka, who welcomed him with a smile and a hug. "Thanks for the help, Athrun. Hah, I would've thought that I would never say those words."

"You're welcome I guess," Athrun said warmly.

The Captain of the legged ship stepped up. "I thank you to; we would've died if not for your help. I'm Murrue Ramius, captain of the Archangel."

"Athrun Zala, elite ZAFT soldier of the special forces," Athrun introduced. He noticed many people widening their eyes at him. He didn't blame them, he was a ZAFT soldier, and the Chairman's son too.

"Why would a ZAFT soldier help us?" A blonde man asked him. "Even if we defected from the Earth Forces."

Athrun suddenly looked down to the ground, as if he was hiding something. "I-I'm just fulfilling my best friends' last wishes before he died…" He was sure that they know who he was talking about.

A blonde boy suddenly lashed out from the crowd. "YOU BASTARD!" He jumped out and looked as if he was going to hit Athrun. "What do you think you're doing here! You don't deserve to be here after what you've done to him! To them!"

"Sai!" The blonde man held back the boy. "You know him?"

"He's the pilot of the Aegis!" Sai growled angrily. Gasps could be heard from around the crowd. "He killed Kira and Tolle!"

A brown haired girl with blue eyes gasped and tears filled her eyes. She ran off out of the launching deck. Dearka glanced at Athrun surprised for a moment before running after the girl. "Miriallia! Wait!"

"I-" Athrun was at lost for words.

"Is it true?" the captain asked, unsure if she wanted to have him in her ship.

"I- yes," Athrun muttered. "I killed them both…" He could feel people glaring at him with hatred.

"What right do you have now to step into this ship then?" Sai growled.

"I'm only fulfilling Kira's wish!" Athrun growled back, tears escaping his eyes. "Do you think I wanted to kill him? He was my best friend dammit! I didn't want to…" He collapsed onto the ground sobbing.

Whispers erupted from the crowd of people. Things like, 'He killed his best friend? How cruel! Poor Kira…' and 'I sure wouldn't want a best friend like him!'

"Then why the hell did you?" Sai snapped. Athrun shook his head.

"He killed Nicol…" he choked out. "Nicol was kind and gentle; he only fought to protect the PLANTs, not because he hated Naturals like most of the others… and then Kira killed him, I didn't care at the time if it was an accident or not. I just wanted revenge on him, I didn't care that Kira was my best friend… I didn't care, and so… the next time we met, I killed him and his friend in the plane." Athrun didn't know why he was telling them all this. Maybe he wanted them to trust him like they trusted Kira. Maybe he was telling them so that wherever Kira is, if Kira ever heard him, he would understand.

(End Flashback)

After that episode of anger and grief, most of the people had treated him like they treated Dearka, maybe a bit better since they did feel a little bad for him. But Sai was a different story. He treated him like he was dirt on the ground, not worthy enough to be spoken at. Miriallia avoided him at all cost, and the only time she spoke to him was when he had to launch out.

Athrun parked the car at the entrance of the mall. Cagalli aand Athrun went in the mall and went to 'the Golden Rose' for their lunch reservations. "11:49. Perfect! We're early!"

"12:00 reservations under Attha," Cagalli ordered. The waitress' eyes opened wide when she saw the princess and the representative of Orb. Cagalli eyed the waitress' name tag. "Hmmm… Lizzie eh?"

Lizzie stumbled on her words. "R-right t-this w-a-ay." She led them to a table for 7 beside a window which faced the store across from the restaurant. She hurried out and brought back menus and put them on each seat. She hurried away once again and disappeared through the door to the kitchen.

Athrun chuckled. "What a weird girl."

"Yeah," Cagalli agreed. "Ath- I mean Alex…" she rolled her eyes. "Why must you choose such a lousy name? Seriously! Alex DINO! Dino! Sounds like you're relating yourself to a dinosaur."

"I was running out of ideas okay?" Athrun defended.

Cagalli snorted. "Riight, but it sure sounds like you want to be a descendant of a dinosaur!"

"Yeah yeah, princess," Athrun muttered. "I want to be a descendant of a dinosaur."

"Ha! I knew it! Now all you need is spikes, and larger and sharper teeth, rougher skin, a tail…" Cagalli rambled.

"Look who's here! It's Dearka and Yzak!" Athrun cut her off and sent the aforementioned two a grateful look.

Cagalli scowled at him for cutting her off. "Whatever."

Dearka and Yzak sat down. "Looks like Orb's doing fine," Dearka said.

"Yeah it is. Have to thank Kisaka for helping me," Cagalli agreed. The four of them sat and chatted until the rest of their reunion group arrived.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Kira looked around the mall, amazed. "Wow! The fashion here is pretty cool." The pilots walked behind him slowly, half of them admiring the clothes, the other half walking around, bored.

Duo was excited. "Wow! Look at this! Oh! I want this! And this! And this! Look at those pants! Wow! Jeans! Hoodies!"

Wufei raised an eyebrow at him. "You would've thought he was a girl, goggling over the clothes like that."

"Hey! I heard that!" Duo scowled. "You just got no fashion sense." He raced to a store called, 'Ikimaru's fashion'.

Kira smiled, amused at Duo's and Wufei's bickering. He looked around the mall again, spotting the restaurant across from Ikimaru's fashion. It was named 'the Golden Rose'. "What a fancy name for a restaurant." He looked inside the restaurant and saw a group of people talking and laughing and eating right at the window spot. His attention was immediately on a blue-haired boy. The boy, as if feeling somebody's eyes on him, turned to face him. His green eyes widened and his food dropped from his hands.

"He looks so familiar," Kira thought. An intense pain suddenly filled his senses. "N-not again… but it hurts so much more this time…" Kira cried out and fell to his knees, his hands grasping his head in pain. He felt as if somebody was forcefully wrestling something from him and his head.

"Kira!" Duo had run back from the store at the cry. Kira started to writhe in pain on the floor, his hands still grasping his head.

"Stop it!" He cried out. "Stop…"

XXXXXXXXXXX

Athrun couldn't believe his eyes. One moment, he was picking up his fork to eat, and felt somebody's eyes on him. So, he naturally turned to face the person, and found himself looking into violet eyes. He only knew one person with violet eyes… "Kira!"

It was Kira; he had the same brown messy hair and the same purple eyes. He was staring at him confused. Athrun had dropped his fork, and blinked a couple times to see if he was just imagining him. He wasn't, Kira stayed there, looking at him.

"Athrun?" Cagalli poked him. "Yo! Athrun!"

"Kira…" Athrun muttered. The brown-haired coordinator suddenly fell over and cried out. Athrun stood up quickly. "Kira!" He bolted towards out the restaurant with the rest of his friends behind him in confusion.

When he reached there, there were five men surrounding his friend. One of them, who had a long braid, turned to him. "What do you… HOLY!" the braided man eyed widened and he suddenly stood protectively over the writhing brown-haired boy. The other 4 looked up at Athrun.

Another one of them, with messy brown hair and cold Prussian blue eyes hissed at him. "You!" And with that, Athrun was instantly face to face with a gun…
