Gundam Wing Meets the Little Prince
Chapter Four: Bittersweet Endings
The asteroid was analyzed and turned out to have vital information concerning the next target point of the OZ organization. Enclosed within the asteroid was a data disc that clearly mapped out OZ's intent to turn against the United Earth Sphere Alliance within the next year. The mobile suit pilots were able to draw up plan's based on the information written on the disc that enabled them to have the advantage in the future war efforts against OZ.
When it came apparent that the Gundam pilots were busy trying to plan various war strategies, the little prince packed up his things and left on his gluslog as mysterious as he came. However, something changed within the hearts of the Gundam pilots after the little prince took his leave. The five mobile suit operators became more than war comrades; they each learned to respect each other's differences and become true friends.
After the war with OZ, Romefeller Foundation, and the United Earth Sphere Alliance was finally put to rest with the death of Treize Khushrenada in the final war, it is said that the pilots retired their Gundam units, never to fight again. There was a small uprising within one of the colonies that was quickly put to rest when the five Gundam pilots were reunited a year later. Their friendship had never wavered in the small time they were apart because of the lessons that the little prince had taught each one.
After that final conflict a final change took place in each of the pilot's hearts. Quatre decided to use his kindness to become closer to the people in his life that really mattered. He traveled across the colonies getting support for his family's business and used his power to make the dream of a galaxy without war a reality.
Wufei used his martial arts experience to set up a training colony with Sally Poe, to use the art of war as a way for young men to express themselves on a spiritual level rather than use military warfare as a tool to oppress others.
Duo teamed up with a mobile suit pilot he had met in the war named Hilde to start a company that turned scrap metal into reusable mobile suit unit parts, helping to preserve the beauty of the earth and colonies by making use of the materials that were already present. They say that Duo somehow became funnier through the whole ordeal. He could always make his friends…and his true love Hilde...laugh no matter what hardships they went through.
Heero went on acting like the stubborn young man he had always been but there was something that changed in him in regards to Relina. He surprised everyone when he announced that he married Relina and even took up the responsibility of being the second vice foreign mister of the colonies.
As for Trowa, he perhaps learned one of the most valuable lessons from the little prince; to never let his talent go to waste. He ended up leaving the circus industry with Catherine to form his own live show that toured all across the colonies.
The pilots often came together to talk about the old days with their loved ones nearby but whenever the little prince was brought up there would be an awkward silence in the room. The five friends would have the sudden urge to walk outside and look up toward the sky. There, they felt like the stars were laughing and they could laugh too, for that's where the spirit of the little prince truly lived; in the promise of a better future.
