Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or Kelly Clarkson or her song, and I make no profit of any kind off of this, unless it is a smile.
Rating: T (because I don't want to underrate something)
Summary: Trowa, Heero, Duo and Wufei try to get in contact with Quatre.
Warning: shonen ai, 4/6, mention of 2/3, 1/5. Basically I write nothing past kisses. This fanfiction really has nothing to do with the original story line.
Possibel spoilers about Zechs!
Chapter 4: "...he's so beautiful..."
Hills, uneven countryside. Little houses in the distance, trees, rice patties, farmland. Greens, tans, the wide blue sky. Standing on this wall was like visiting some fantasy world, you could touch the sky if you wanted. Only this is no fantasy, despite how surreal it all felt, despite how everything seemed to come from a storybook when the gentle breeze blew the soft platinum blond strands of his loves' hair. Things were looking up, nothing would ever be the same again. Quatre could hardly wait to see the fireworks that were due to explode in the sky that night, and to see how the colored lights would shimmer off of Zechs' hair and in his eyes. He could hardly wait to hear Zechs speak in that soft voice after the display, and until all of the older person's attention was completely focused on him.
"How about we head for lunch?" Zechs asked, turning his head just slightly so that he could peer at the smaller blond beside him. What was he thinking? Was he thinking similar thoughts?
"That sounds wonderful." Was Quatre's response, still with that dreaming look on his face. He couldn't help but to smile, as if this were the best thing on the planet. More precious than gold, or even emotion itself.
The two found their way back off of the Great Wall of China, and soon found a nice place for their afternoon meal of rice, vegetables, fish, and tea.
=Now boarding flight 109. Now boarding the flight for China.=
"That's us guys." Duo informed, nearly dragging Trowa from his waiting chair that he was nearly asleep in.
"I'm so glad that we found out where Quatre was going." Wufei said, feeling more relief than he thought was appropriate, and worrying that it was showing through too much.
"When we work together, it's simple...almost!" Duo commented with an odd smile and laugh.
The four teenagers boarded thier flight, and anxiously awaited their arrival in China. Each hoping to find their missing friend Quatre Raberba Winner. After all, the group just wasn't complete without the little blond and chipper smile.
The airplane flew without complication to it's destination, and the four very bored boys soon stepped out of the airport to begin their search in the great land of China.
"Where would you usually go if you visited China?" Duo asked, glancing over his shoulder at his friends.
"Where do you want to go next?" Zechs asked the smaller blond as they finished the last bites of their meals.
"It doesn't really matter to me as long as I'm with you, it'll be great... However, I haven't heard of you going to England yet, I've always wanted to go there, to be honest." Quatre smiled thoughtfully before taking a sip of his tea.
"I'd love to go there... To England." Zechs seemed to look distant for a moment, snapping out of it only when a small ball hit the side of his head, nearly knocking the man out of his seat. Quatre brought a hand up to cover his mouth, and asked if the larger man was alright. Zechs gave a nod to say that he was fine. "Perhaps we should find someplace else to relax..." He said, tossing the small ball back to awaiting children who happily went back to their game.
The two walked away from the area, finding a nice place under a tree to relax and enjoy the afternoon.
"So, where in England do you want to begin the tour?" Zecks asked after the two were already settled against the tree, Quatre's head propped against the others chest.
"London."
"London? That would be appropriate wouldn't it? Heh, I guess that's perfect." Zechs wrapped one of his arms around the smaller blond, holding the moment, trying to burn this picture into his memory. It didn't take long for the two to fall asleep under that tree, and dream peacefully in each others' company.

It didn't seem long before Zechs and Quatre arrived in London. The place seemed like something from ancient times, with castles and wide fields. The people trying to preserve medieval scenes did miraculous jobs. In the year AC 197, things like this were so hard to come by, and those places that did survive the After Colony war would most likely have been restored by now. Good things happened here in England, in London especially, for example; solar powered cars. London looked better than most places in this time of recovery, greener land, the sky more blue, hardly any fresh pollution these days.
Zechs had gone as far as to get a horse-drawn carriage. They were to be staying with a friend of his, an Earl known as Randal McHarison. That was another of London's great advances, they took elements from the past to make things more efficient for the future, such as bringing horses back into everyday life, and many people used them for getting around. Quatre enjoyed the wide-open ride, the carriage was a convertible type with a heavy, waterproof top that could be pulled over the seats, or left back for the passengers to enjoy the sun.
Quatre looked over the hills of London, the pathways were mostly cobblestone or brick, and gravel was used for minor paths or driveways. Trees dominated most unused landscapes, and grass seemed to be everywhere, with flowerbeds and vegetable gardens that looked popular in yards, as well as herbs and bushes. All of this was wonderful to take in, but something caught his eye, the house sitting at their paths' end. It looked made from heavy stone adorned with climbing flower-vines, a well-kempt yard, statues, a small pond, and a large water fountain directly in the center of the circling driveway. All of this gave the property a rich feel, and the designs of everything made Quatre feel as if he had stepped through a time portal... It all took his breath away.
Quatre turned a smile at Zechs, who seemed entranced as well. After sharing his smile the smaller blond turned back to the scenery, catching a glimpse of someone disappearing behind the large house. Was that person in the yard the whole time? Quatre brushed it off, passing the person as a housemaid or gardener.
"We're here." The driver announced. The carriage stopped in front of large double doors that looked like well kept wooden antiques. Motioning toward somebody, standing neer their carriage, the driver hopped down from his perch and opened the carriages side door for the two to climb out, and they did.
"Welcome to my home. I am Randel McHarison, I hope you enjoy your stay."

Comment here: WAHHH!! TOOOOOO SHOOOOOOORRRRRRRTTTTTTT!! (All those 'T's' are individual... You might want to dry off your screen ^_^;;) The scenery is gorgeous, I can picture it... But don't rely too heavily on the scenes... I liked how you threw everything for a more realistic and funny turn with the ball. (I can see it now... "Ahhh! Tea and memories! But the best part of this is being with--" *CRACK* "Ow.")

Note: Not sure if I need to say it anymore, but this chapter(along with the ending comment) was written in '07, except my grammar and spelling up-date... I'm still not too good with the grammar matter, but everything good must have a price, or so I think. By the way, Randel McHarison is an original character or mine, created just for this fanfiction. And now for my "head's up": I had only written up to chapter five, and the story is still not complete, I ask you now for your support in finishing this thing...Please leave a reviewing will give me enough motivation to do my best and write more of this fanfiction.
