A/N: This chapter has been planning itself in my head since the lion attack. It's probably the one I've been most excited about in this story so far.

Disclaimer: You know the drill; I don't own Gundam Wing and I make no profit from this. I do however, own Andie Rika Tru, so please, please ask if you want to use her, ok?


Trowa couldn't sleep. He had been laying there in the dark for two hours, but he couldn't seem to shake the guilt from getting Andie in trouble.

The result was severe insomnia.

His door creaked open, and there stood Andie, her hair styled by pillow, her nightgown and flannel pajama pants on.

"Is something wrong?" Trowa asked, tracking her every movement. As she shut the door behind her, he got a glimpse of half wiped away tear tracks on her face.

"Can I sleep with you?" Andie whispered, rubbing at her eyes. "I can't sleep alone right now."

Trowa blinked for a moment, he wasn't quite sure why she was doing this when it would only get her into more trouble with Catherine. But after a moment of both of them being perfectly still, he moved over to the left side of the bed so she could lie down.

"Thank you." Andie curled up beside him, at first being careful not to touch him, then, sleepily resting her head on his shoulder.

"Catherine will be mad if she finds out." Trowa murmured, and he couldn't help but wrap an arm around Andie. She looked so frail, so broken.

"Trust me." Andie brushed Trowa's hair out of his face. "Just trust me this time. I know what I'm doing." With that, her head dropped back down onto his shoulder, and she was asleep.

Trowa smiled, just a tiny smile, and finally drifted off himself.


"Trowa?" Catherine whispered as she nudged his door open just a crack. "I'm sorry I yelled at you and do you know where-" She paused as she saw them, really saw them.

They looked like puppies, curled up together. Still fully clothed, they looked as innocent as children who had fallen asleep together.

Catherine inwardly sighed. They were only fifteen; she shouldn't have accused them of doing anything. Not when they were really so sweet together, so innocent. She studied the way Trowa's arm was wrapped around Andie, the way Andie had stretched out her right arm across Trowa's chest to hold his hand.

Catherine smiled and stepped outside of the room. She could apologize later, to both of them.

As she shut the door behind her, both of the younger teens rustled in their bed, barely awake.

"Was someone in here?" Andie sat up, looking towards the door. "Damn it, they're not here are they?"

"Hold on." Trowa pulled out a machine that he used to track OZ ships, and then shook his head. "It had to be someone from the circus."

"Catherine." Andie smiled and lay back on Trowa's bed.

"Then why aren't we being yelled at?" Trowa narrowed his eyes at her.

"Because." Andie tapped her temple and smiled a bubbly smile that Trowa hadn't seen in what seemed like forever. "Catherine and I think the same."

Trowa blinked, then mentally shrugged and lay back down next to Andie. If it worked, it worked, he figured.

But still, something was wrong in Andie's eyes, the way she looked at him.

Then again, there was something wrong with how he looked at her.


A/N: This story is coming to a close soon. I would like each reviewer to vote, if possible as to who's going next, DuoXOC, or QuatreXOC. I'm not doing Heero, but the other two are who's left on my list. Anyway, reviews are very welcome, and thank you so much for reading!
