Summary: The war has ended and everyone goes their separate ways
and Relena finally gets what she’s always wanted but at what price?
Chapter 1: Prologue
The hidden room was dark except for the control panel on the far
console that was right below a wall inlaid with computer screens.
The longhaired youth flipped a few switches and the monitors and
lights flared to life. He motioned for his guest to sit in the chair next to
him. Neither spoke a word and as if by some form of magic, screens flashed
different teenaged boys and their powerful weapons of war.
The
computerized female voice began its mantra of information about the faces and
mini clips on each screen.

On-Call
The
computer flashed the words on-call in
big red letters across each pilot’s face. One thing was for certain every one
of them was dangerous and was on-call at this very moment, which meant that Duo
could up and leave at any given time.
The
short haired man gaped at the second picture. He couldn’t believe his eyes, his
friend, his band leader was none other than the notorious gundam pilot, self
proclaimed god of death; but that’s not his main concern. No, not by a long
shot, he could care less if the guitarist was Treize Khushrenada himself. All
he wants to know was why? Why was Duo so hell bent about not going to the
“I know that you have some questions, so go ahead asked me,” Duo
said with a little nervousness underlining his voice.
“Why don’t you want to go to the
Damn!
How did I know that he was gonna ask me that?
He let out a slow breath and spoke softly, “Relena Peacecraft is
the reason. She hates me because I’m far below her standard of living.”
“What is that supposed to mean? Duo, I don’t know if you looked in
the papers lately but your ranking up there in Fortune Five Thousand. Aside
from your friend there—um, Quatre, man you’re rich. And there’s something else
that you’re not telling and my guess is it’s about your fiancé.”
Bingo! The former pilot sat there with violet eyes wide. He could
only nod his head.
“Alright, tell me about her?”
A light blush crept across Duo’s cheeks. He never told any of his
band members about his fiancé. None of them understood why he was standoffish
when females came around him; not that Duo didn’t enjoy the company of women or
what they had to offer.
Hell, if he weren’t involved with his blue-eyed suicidal maniac,
he’d be right along side with Blaze,
screw every female that walked through his front door.
He flipped a few more switches and all of the monitors faded to
black. “Alright Sean…hold on to your seat ‘cause Shinigami’s ‘bout to take you
for one hell of a ride. Computer, run news file 4640R of AC 197 Chang-Po.”
This
is Caryn Weiss reporting live from the ballroom of
the world renowned Winner Estate on L4. Shortly after the wedding ceremony and
reception of WuFei and Sally Chang, former Gundam pilot Heero Yuy just proposed
to his long time secret love Duo Maxwell, also a former Gundam pilot. We have
received word by the gentlemen’s good friend Quatre Winner, sole heir to the
Winner Corporation, that the wedding date for the couple’s union is scheduled
for the summer of AC 200. Now back you in the studio…
Blink, blink
“My goodness, Duo, that means that you would have been married by
now, so what happened?” Sean was floored.
“Relena somehow managed to set-up our
boss and had Heero shipped out to the
personal bodyguard all because she calls herself in love with him,” Duo
answered with a sour taste in his mouth.
“Well, Duo, my friend I think in all fairest that if you want your
man back, I suggest that you stop feeling sorry for yourself and get your ass
in gear.”
“I can’t. Relena has to release Heero. He’s under contract with
Earth’s law enforcement to protect her. I’m powerless.”
“That’s bullshit and you know it! From what I’ve seen in those
clips that you are a very outgoing fun lovable person and the person that I see
before me is not him! The only thing that you’ve been dishin’ out are number
hits and keeping to yourself.
“Hell, I’m probably the only one that you actually talk too. Now,
we can go to the
scandal of why we had to hog tie your ass or you can walk in there under your
own will power. The choice is yours.”
Violet orbs burned hard into hazel eyes. Duo was torn; he wanted
so despressly to see his beloved but could not face the harsh realization of
not having enough to give to Heero. After all, he was nothing more than a
street brat from the poorest colony known in space.
However, no amount of arguing was going to convince the much
taller man of not going to the most despised place on the face of the Earth.
Duo hated that place with a passion and it seems that one thing was on the
brown haired guy’s mind; he was going to that winter event whether he liked it
or not.
