Merry Christmas to my readers

I in no way own Gundam Wing or Gundam Seed

Chapter 09

Evening came. Any crew members that were off duty were enjoying a meal outside under the moonlight. All crew members that are on duty were performing their assigned duties, such examples are the mechanics performing maintenance on the Strike and Skygrapers.

'So bored.' Chris thought looking at a set of blueprints on his computer. He's sitting on the catwalk in front of his machine. As he stared at the screen. For the first time since arriving in this world he thought about the people that he left behind especially the girl who, he considered his best friend.

M.O 2 December 25 A.C 198

It was Christmas and at the annual Christmas party at the orbital station MO 2. It was attended by politicians, military officials and businessmen, but who no one would expect to show up were four of the five Gundam pilots. First is the pilot of the Gundam Deathscythe, Accompanied by his lovely wife Hilde is Duo Maxwell. After him is the pilot of the Gundam Heavyarm, Trowa Barton. Then is the Chairman of the Winner cooperation and the pilot of the Sandrock Gundam escorted by his fiancé Dorothy is Quatra Raberba Winner and last is the pilot of the Altron Gundam is Wufei Chang, who is the only full time Preventer agent out of the five.

We find Christopher Merquise standing in a corner observing as the president gives a speech about the end of the war two years ago and how they have true peace.

'What a joke, there's no such thing as true peace.' Chris though after being recruited by the preventers early that year, he underwent a background check and testing to see at level his ability were at.

"Aw Christopher how are you?" Said a voice. Chris looked over as a familiar figure approached him, it was the same person who recruited/captured him, seven months earlier, the director of the Preventers Lady Une and she was not alone. With her was a young girl in a wheelchair.

"Good day madam director, I'm fine and may I ask who is that with you?" Chris asked looking at the red haired girl.

"This is my adopted daughter, Mariemaia." Lady Une said introducing her daughter.

"Good evening." Mariemaia said bowing her head slightly.

Chris nodded in return. "Are Noin and Wind attending?" He asked.

"No. Both are on patrol." Lady Une replied.

"I see." Chris said. "Scheduled or requested?"

"Why does it matter?" Une asked not getting an answer, she sighs.

"Christopher could you do me a favor and stay with Mariemaia? I have somethings to discuss with the president, she's only four years younger than you so it shouldn't be a problem." Une asked.

"Of course director." Chris replied. The brunette director walk away ignoring shouts of protest from her daughter.

"She still thinks I need someone to watch me." Mariemaia muttered under her breath.

Chris let out a little chuckle at her expression.

"What's so funny?" She demanded.

"It's nothing but the director cares about you that all." Chris said before his face turned grim. "At least you have someone. Everyone who I cared for I lost years ago."

The two spend the rest of the evening talk about random things until it was time to depart, but it was clear a friendship was forged that night and the two kept in touch.

Flashback End

'Those were the days.' Chris though before getting up and going to get something to eat.

DarkChaosDragon00 Said's Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
