ZT: Hey people! Y'know, I just have to say I have some of the most awesome reviewers in the world! I wanna give a special thanks to pinkrocks. That person really ticked me off too, but you told him/her where to put it for me. Thank for the support. For the rest of you, seems you like the title, so I'll keep it as is unless I suddenly get an angry mob demanding for a title change. Anyways, on with the show! I don't own Gundam Wing. Enjoy!
Review Responses:
Aj- ok, then I'll keep the title
Dark Devotions- Yeah, I know it was pretty lame; it'll get better.
Calli Maxwell- Is Night Star's identity a shock or is it just that there's no more wondering? I'll keep the title as is, then.
LancerLead- Yep, a sequel.
Fate Sucks II: Clash of the Moon and Star
Chapter 1
A young man ran down a dirt road towards what looked like a medieval castle in the distance. He could hear a feminine voice calling his name in the distance, coming from the castle presumably.
"Just give me five more minutes!" he yelled for about the tenth time. He ran further down and crossed a bridge.
He heard the voice call him again as he reached the castle. "If you say five more minutes one more time…" the voice warned, trailing off.
He looked up; she was upstairs. He grinned as he saw a terrace, "Okay then, two minutes." He heard her sigh in exasperation as he climbed the terrace. He climbed and climbed until he finally reached the window. Dark hair and dark eyes met him. She smiled sweetly, "Time's up." His face fell as he suddenly felt very cold and wet…
Duo yelped and jumped out of his now soaked bed. He turned around to find the same dark haired, dark eyed beauty from his dreams smirking at him with a very large squirt gun in hand. "Morning Sunshine," she said with pseudo-sweetness.
"That was cold, Nessy-poo! And the jokes on you; that was gonna be your side of the bed," he replied with a smirk. He tried fruitlessly to block the cold water again as Vanessa retaliated to the nickname.
"Don't call me that! And of course the water's cold," she shook the gun.
Duo heard something hard hit the sides of the tank and blinked in surprise, "ICE?"
"Hey, you gave me the idea…now get dressed, everyone else is already up," she replied with a shrug and turned away.
Duo shook his head with a small smirk. When Vanessa first came back to them, she was deeply affected by the 'death' of her friends. However, as time passed, she let go of her grief and let herself heal. Now one year had passed and she seemed more filled with life than ever before.
He let out a small chuckle at the irony and fiddled with a small gold band on his left hand; here Vanessa was, filled with more life than ever, yet she was engaged to the god of death. He had popped question a few months earlier at Christmas, when he showed up in a big old Santa suit-beard, sack of goodies and all- and presented each person with their gifts in stockings. Vanessa's had a box of donuts, which "Santa" said "oops" that was his, and pulled off his hat to reveal a little ring box. Then he proposed to her. It was a really touching moment; that is until Wufei realized his stocking was filled with coal…Let's just say Duo's braid was an inch shorter after that.
Duo came downstairs to find that, indeed, everyone was already up. Trowa was reading the paper, Wufei was sipping his tea, Quatre was going over some paperwork with Vanessa, whose own family business had been thriving since she reestablished it (dunno what the business is…any suggestions?), and Heero was busy as usual, typing away on his computer.
The braided pilot ran up to the tall, silent one of the group with a big grin, "Where're the funnies?" Trowa handed him the comic page.
Wufei rolled his eyes, "Of all the parts of the newspaper, you read the comic page?"
"He's an airhead, what do you expect him to read? The economics section?" Vanessa asked, not looking up from her paperwork.
Duo pouted playfully at Vanessa's comment, "I feel so loved."
"I'm marrying you; you better," she replied.
Quatre smiled at the two sadly. He was happy for them, and he could tell how happy they were together. However, there was a part of him that wished he could've had the same thing with Laury. He missed her deeply, no matter how goofy she was. Her practical joking, alcohol obsessed, completely random nature had grown on him, and now he felt as if he was missing a part of himself without her there. He internally sighed; it didn't matter, she was gone and he would just have to be happy for his friend and move on with his life.
A sudden beeping noise from Heero's computer caught everyone's attention. "Didn't you tell those old men to shove it with the missions?" Vanessa asked, recognizing the sound as a signal for mail.
"Obviously they forgot how to listen…" Duo grumbled, "Heero, write 'em back telling them to go to hell."
Heero ignored them and just stared at the screen, his face unreadable, however not in its usual manner.
Quatre looked at his friend in concern, "Heero?"
"…It's from Night Star," he finally said.
Love it? Hate it? Review it! Till next time!
