A.N.: AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! Stupid minor inconsistencies! Sigh… oh well. Oh yeah, this happened before Endless Waltz, so the Gundams were not yet destroyed (YAY!) About the first Prologue, Duo's age is 17. I changed it to 16. Going to turn a little OOC from now on.

As Cherry Blossoms Bloom…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe, just maybe… Love will bloom just as the cherry blossoms bloom…

Duo walked under shaded trees called cherry blossom trees and admired their beauty. He never recalled anything so peaceful and beautiful. He sighed as he did recall one person. Why does he have to fall in love with a person that threatens to kill him every minute of him life?

Heero Yuy, he was never like this place. Peaceful and serene… That's probably the reason why I liked him in the first place, He thought silently as he walked under the trees that lights everything up with colors. They were not in full bloom yet but in a month or so, maybe we will be there to see them.

He treaded calmly across the lane that a few people pass through. He sat down for a while on a bench. He looked up in the sky. He was wearing a black shirt, jeans and a cap. He never did like to dress too formally. He yawned and unconsciously played with his braided hair.

A thought came to mind… It was Wufei. Chuckling, he remembered how Wufei tried to cut his hair when Duo used his katana to chop some vegetables. Reasoning to Wufei that there wasn't a knife in sight, Wufei ran after Duo with his sharpened katana, imperiling his newly brushed hair. He laughed again.

After a few minutes of total peace (and probably boredom), he stood up again. He paced transversely and thought that he could have fun at the carnival. So it was decided, Duo was going to the carnival.

Happily, he whistled until he saw an old blind man beside the street, begging. He had tattered clothing and was bearded with thick gray mane. Even his hair is gray, clearing stating that he was really mature. He stopped for a while, and then smiled. Walking near the old man, he dropped a few coins.

"Thank you, son…" The beggar said.

Eyes widening, Duo was quite impressed. Being blind and all, and then having sensed that he was male (or at least partially).

"How did you know that I'm a guy? I mean you being blind…"

The beggar smiled.

"You don't need eyes to see everything, my boy." The beggar replied without looking up to Duo. "Sometimes it takes a little of your own spirit to know and your own heart to see."

Duo, a little confused just nodded at what the old man said. Saying good-bye to the old man, he was beginning to leave.

"Son," said the old beggar before Duo could walk farther with Duo not turning around, "I could also sense one more thing about you…" This time looking up to Duo's back, "don't worry, my boy. Whatever you are looking for, you will find when the cherry blossoms are dancing…" With that Duo turned but the old man disappeared.

Whatever you are looking for, you will find when the cherry blossoms are dancing…He thought silently. The more he thought about it the more that old man seemed like his family in Maxwell Church. Sister Helen…

[A.N. Is that the correct name?]

He walked a little farther, and saw the carnival as lively and enthusiastic as ever. Children laughing, people smiling… This was his life in L-02 Colony. He lowered his head and hid it in his cap and walked in the carnival.

Looking around, he saw lots of people riding carnival rides, children eating candies and lots of colorful things. He was the only one that wasn't wearing something colorful. He felt like a dog in a cat show or something.

Smiling to himself, he walked ahead across strangers that he calmly passed. He suddenly stopped on his tracks as something or at least, someone caught his eye. This person was wearing a black sleeve-less shirt with white pants and his hair was tied back. This person was moving with the crowd and was getting farther to Duo.

Duo stumbled over the crowd just staring to where the stranger was going. This has to be him! This has to be Wufei, he jumped for joy at the thought. Meeting a co-pilot has got to be one of his happiest moments (particularly the times where he needs his butt to be saved).

Moving against the crowd, someone bumped into him, which sent him on the ground. He looked at the one that bumped unto him. It was a kid. Eyes swelling up, the young boy thought that Duo would get mad at him. Duo, who was surprised at the beginning, patted the boy on the head assuring him that it was ok.

Looking up again, he no longer saw the person he was chasing. He haven't given up hope but turned his awareness to the boy.

"Are you alright?" asked Duo.

The young boy just nodded a small nod. Smiling at Duo, the boy turned and ran towards some people. He smiled as he saw the kid wave good-bye to him.

Standing up and dusting himself, he stared to the people infront of him again. No sign of him.

Then, again, something white caught his attention. He ran after it. He jumped up on a few benches. Passed through the tents and bumped into a lot of people but nothing seemed to stop him.

At last he reached him, only a few more steps and he will be able to see him (his face at least). Unfortunately, not seeing a banana peel on the ground, he slipped and then bumped into him… or rather her.

"I'm sorry," said Duo as he scratched his head apologetically. "I thought that you were someone I knew."

The lady, who was luckily very nice and friendly, said that was no big deal as she stood up with Duo helping her. Smiling to Duo, she said. "The one that you thought was me really mean a lot to you, doesn't he?"

"I'm really sorry. I thought that you were ----" he stopped in mid-air. "How did you know that the one that I thought was you is a boy?" his voice full of curiosity.

The lady was amused now, shaking a little because of her laughter; her eyes also twinkling with enthusiasm.

"Duo?!? What are you doing here?" a voice of pure shock was heard. Duo on the other hand wasn't surprised. He was actually very happy when he heard the voice. Turning when heard the voice, he lunged for the person who spoke after he got a look at him.

"WUFEI!"

Author's Notes:

Ok, after this, they will tend to be a little OOC. I have to do that to make it a little more interesting. Should I make a happy ending for them? Or not? Anyway, tell what you think. I need reviews! Tell me my mistakes about the prologue, there was some minor inconsistencies . I think I fixed them (I think)
