Author Notes: Some swearing, but not much.

Chapter One

Duo Maxwell looked up at the moon. "Earth to Duo, earth to Duo," a soft feminine voice called to him from beside him. Duo turned to look at the small, elfin blonde beside him. She was extremely beautiful, small, delicately formed, and voluptuously curved. Her saucer shaped, huge dark green eyes studied his face. He reached out and touched the fair skin on her cheek.

She smiled, sighed and took his hand. Duo smiled just a bit. Not the mocking God of Death grin, but a true smile. She rose up to her tiptoes and brushed her lips against his. That moment broke all of Duo's control. He intertwined his fingers in her long braided hair and nibbled lightly on her lips. She opened her mouth to him and he deepened the kiss.

She gripped at his shoulders, braid and neck as they kissed. Duo lightly rubbed his hands up and down her back. He breathed in her warmth, her energy, and knew that she was doing the same with him.

Needing air, they broke apart. Duo smiled at her and she smiled back. Jennifer Darkfall looked delicate, but there was a toughness and a determination to her that Duo had seen on more than a few occasions. Mainly the Gundam pilots, after all, she was a Gundam pilot herself. Besides, Duo could feel the taunt muscles under her silky flesh every time he held her close. And that was a lot of times.

She smiled at him and asked, "Any word from Heero?"

He took her hand and they began to walk down the path they had took. It was a beautiful night, very romantic. The moon shone on the river beside them like a silver beam, it was cool enough to not need a jacket, but to cause a shiver once and a while to make you want to be close to someone to share their warmth.

And Duo didn't want to break that mood by worrying about Heero. After they had defeated the White Fang Heero left the pilots, and Relena was the only one who had seen him. He had given her a card and a teddy bear. A gesture as Jennifer had said, "Sweet, but Relena doesn't deserve it." He slowly shook his head.

Jennifer looked up at the sky and said, "Well, Trowa's on Earth with Catherine, Quatre's back on the L4 colony taking up his Daddy's work, and Wufei has joined the Preventers with Sally Po." She turned to Duo and pulled on the black fabric of his shirt. She pulled him closer so that their bodies were touching now. Duo tried to concentrate, but it was pretty hard with Jennifer's small, warm, female form pressed up against him.

She went on, "And you opened up a salvage yard with Hilde while I'm going to med. school."

"You'd make a great doctor," Duo told her, remembering when the Darkfall virus had broke loose. She had taken command of the situation and managed to save the entire Sanq Kingdom, even Relena.

She smiled at him and replied, "I like research just fine. I like finding new wonders, fighting new things. Besides, I could sell my findings and be with you."

Duo bent closer to her and whispered, "I like the sound of that." Then they were kissing again, as they were meant to. Duo slowly lowered her willing body to the soft grass under him. She wrapped her arms around him and held him like a lifeline. There wasn't a time long ago where Duo acted as Jennifer's lifeline.

"Duo, don't stop," she panted as he ran kisses down her throat. He lightly licked on her skin, tasting vanilla and the saltiness of her skin. She sighed and moaned as he unbound her hair, letting it fall around them in a golden cloud.

She kissed the side of his face, her breath hot against his already heated skin. Then, something happened.

It was like a scream in his head. He could sense that something was wrong. He jerked his head up and pulled himself from Jennifer's warm body. He asked, "Did you feel that?"

She grinned wickedly and replied, "I should hope so." She tried to pull him down to another kiss, but Duo wasn't exactly willing. He looked up and around, his senses on full alert. She asked, "Duo, what is it?" She sat up as well, looking around.

Duo shook his head. The screaming had stopped, leaving a tingling under his skin. They stood up together. Duo answered, "I'm not sure."

******

Heero Yuy didn't quite know who he was anymore. He wasn't the Perfect Solder, because the war was over. Quatre had called him "The Heart of Outer Space," but Heero didn't think that that particularly worked well for him either. He had wandered, trying to find out who he was.

All he found out was that he missed Duo, Relena, Jennifer and the other pilots. He felt like he belonged around them. He didn't know why, but they accepted him. Especially Duo. Duo might follow him into hell if Heero had to go there.

He wrapped himself closer into his jean jacket and kept walking. His tennis shoes made no sound on the pavement as he walked. The city's lights lit his wandering path. This was a journey without any destination.

He suddenly felt very lonely. He wanted someone to talk to him. Relena. Her name echoed through his mind and left his lips in a sort of sigh. He knew he felt something for the girl; he just didn't know what he felt for her. He wanted her though. He knew that much though.

He ran his fingers through his thick, dark brown hair as he walked. He saw his reflection in a store window as he passed it. His dark blue eyes looked endlessly lost and confused. His battle with Zechs had only confused him more. Then Zechs dying to save the world hadn't helped him either.

A thought crossed Heero Yuy's mind, What if Zechs wasn't truly dead? I mean, we never found Eypon again or a body. His eyes widened and the pupils shrank as he looked into them. He didn't know what to think right now. He flipped his jacket over his collar and kept walking through the glittering paradise that was the city.

"Yes, Harrison, I know. Have Section 3 of mining handle it. Call up Dr. Graves. I'm sure she'll be more than happy to help with the problem," Quatre Raberba Winner said as he talked to the head of Public Safety of the Winner Corporation. He sighed as he ran his fingers through his pale hair and continued to reassure Harrison.

"Harrison, I know that it wasn't your fault. It wasn't any one's fault. I'm sure that Duo Maxwell has the part you need." There, I may be getting somewhere, Quatre thought as he looked down at his watch.

Harrison replied, "That ex-Gundam pilot? I heard that he was a death trap waiting to happen."

Quatre rarely got angry. Duo was his friend. He hissed over the phone, "Duo's my friend. I would trust him with my life, and I have. He would never let me down. Just tell him that I sent you."

"He's on Earth, visiting his squeeze, the Darkfall girl," Harrison replied.

Quatre flushed at the vulgar term used for Jennifer. He liked Jennifer Darkfall, her casual manner, her snappy intelligence, her stubborn personality, her fire, her drive. She and Duo were perfect for each other, Quatre knew. He didn't like anyone referring to any of his friends as another friend's squeeze.

He gritted his teeth and reminded Harrison, "She was the girl who stopped the S17 nerve gas from destroying the colonies. She cured the entire Sanq kingdom when it fell sick to the Darkfall virus. It wasn't her fault that her father went insane because his wife was murdered in front of him." That was a situation that Quatre could remember all too well.

He shut those memories out of his mind. Or tried to anyway. The colony blowing up because of him filled his mind. He closed his eyes. Then a nightmare that had entered his dreams for the last few months entered his head. Dorothy Catalonia stabbing him with the fencing foil.

He rubbed at where the scar she left was. It still ached him from time to time. Sally Po had said that the wound was going to take a long time to heal. She had been all to right.

Tearing!

Quatre looked up. He had heard a scream in his head. Someone plainly shouting "Tearing" at him. He felt tiny tingles rushing all over his body as he told Harrison, "I've got to go. Good bye." He hung up the phone and concentrated on the energy around him.

He closed his eyes and groped out with his other four senses. Maybe even a sixth sense, if he believed in such a thing. One of my best friends calls himself the God of Death. Maybe the possibility of a sixth sense isn't that far off, Quatre thought as he looked around.

The feeling eventually faded away. He stood up from his desk and looked around. He frowned as he paced around the room. What could have caused that? Was it because he was over worked, or what? What was happening to him?

Trowa executed a perfect back flip and landed soundly on his feet on the horse's back. He jumped off the horse and twisted his slim, tall body in a perfect arch then somersaulted in mid air twice. His hands reached out and grabbed the trapeze.

He swung gracefully back and forth, getting enough momentum to get to Catherine on the other side. His sister waited patently for him on the other side. His sister. Trowa smiled just a bit, letting his careful mask slip. He had family. That was more than most of the Gundam pilots had.

Heero. Duo. Jennifer. Wufei. Most importantly, Quatre. He missed all of them, especially the small platinum blonde boy with the huge aqua eyes. He was going to make plans soon to get to L4 and pay Quatre a visit.

He caught Catherine's hands and started to swing her with him. He swung her, making her flip to the next trapeze. He let go of the bar and flipped to the ground. Spiraling his body perfectly, feeling the hot air rush around his hair and face as he landed perfectly on the tight rope. Everyone in the audience gasped.

Trowa bowed as he swung down from the rope. It was no problem for him. In fact, his gymnastics training had saved his and the other pilots' life's on several occasions. He looked at the audience and slipped his clown mask off of his face. He looked at them out of his long, golden brown bangs with an expressionless gaze.

My battle is over, why do I not show emotion? Can't I show it? What's wrong with me? He thought. Duo, the idiot, would have been bowing and blowing kisses at all the attractive girls in the audience. Quatre would have smiled and cheerfully waved. Wufei would have given them a proud smile before he walked off. Heero would have watched, just like Trowa.

"Give a hand to Trowa and Catherine!" the Manager shouted.

Catherine walked up to Trowa and lifted his hand above their heads. Catherine whispered, "Smile, wave, they're cheering for you."

"I can't, Cathy, I can't," he whispered back.

"Why not, baby brother?" Catherine asked worriedly.

Trowa looked at his audience as they shouted at him joyfully. He answered, "I don't know, Cathy, I just don't know."

Catherine smiled and said, "You'd be really cute if you smiled once and a while."

Trowa sadly answered, "I wouldn't know." Then he felt something in his brain. A tear and a young woman's scream. He looked around as energy pulsed around him. He gripped his sister's hand tightly and looked for what could have caused the feeling.

He couldn't find anything.

Wufei Chang sat in Nataku's cockpit. The land around him was blanketed in flames. It was once a base for a group of rebels that were still loyal to Romafeller. Wufei had taken them out, easily. The Chinese pilot leaned his head back on his seat and smiled.

"Weak fools," he said to his Gundam, "They actually thought they could beat you, Nataku." A frown marred his golden features and almond-shaped eyes as he looked at the photo he had hidden of his dead wife, Merian. She was beautiful, twin pony tails, large, black, almond-shaped eyes, a proud smile.

She wasn't weak. Not in the least. Wufei missed her sometimes. His clan always married early in life, but he still thought 14 was too young to be a husband. He had loved her, but now he was alone.

Wufei had always been a loner, even among the other Gundam pilots. Maxwell had been Yuy's partner, and Barton and Winner were a unit. He tried working with the other pilots, but it really didn't work out with him. So, he was here on Earth, working for Sally Po.

Dreams of death, Moon Tiara Magic!

Wufei looked around. What the hell was that? The Chinese pilot wondered as he looked around. He felt a strange energy pulse around his body. He looked around some more, seeing nothing that could have done this to him.

He pondered this for a while before he flew back to his home base.

Heero wandered some more, his duffel back slung over his shoulders. He wanted a shower really, badly. He shook his dark hair off of his face as he continued to walk. A car pulled up beside him.

Heero looked to see a friendly face of an old woman looking at him. She asked, "Hey, Sonny, where are you going?"

Heero shrugged and answered, "I'm not really sure, ma'am."

She opened the passenger side door. She said, "Well, hop in son. I'll drive you as far as I'm going."

Heero slid gracefully into the car. He said, "Thank you."

She smiled at him, making her look like a favorite grandmother or something. Another comfort that most people had that Heero never had the pleasure of experiencing. She had short, curly, gray hair, wire rimmed glasses that framed blue eyes, and was dressed in a pink jogging suit.

She said, "My name's Nora, what's yours?"

Heero answered, "Heero Yuy."

"Are you related to thee Heero Yuy?" she asked as she began to drive again.

Heero shook his head and answered, "No, ma'am, I'm just named after him."

"Nora, call me Nora," she corrected.

Heero smiled despite himself and said, "Call me Heero then."

"What else did you think I would call you?" Nora asked him as they drove.

Heero only smirked at her as they drove. They had driven for at least an hour. Long enough for Nora to tell Heero that he was a, "Handsome, polite but quiet boy," and to find out all about Nora's personal life and that she had a granddaughter Heero's age if he was interested.

Heero had told her, "I sort of have someone in my life right now."

Nora smiled and said, "Well, that's good. Why are you wandering like this?"

Heero shrugged and said, "I have to find things out."

Nora nodded and replied, "I understand. I hope you get everything figured out Heero."

Heero nodded and said, "Thanks for the ride." She pulled over and let him out into a big field, where Heero had earlier told her to drop him off. Heero lifted his hand as he walked down the grassy knoll.

He saw a big oak tree standing in the middle of the field. He automatically walked to it. A few minutes later he was up in the tree, surveying his surroundings. There was another town near by and Heero was deciding if he wanted to go there tonight or not.

Sailor Planet Power!

Heero blinked and looked around. Energy pulsed through his young body as he sat in the tree. He gripped at the branches and knew that he was alone, but he wanted to know where that energy and those voices came from.

Jennifer Darkfall looked into Duo's bright blue eyes. They looked violet in this light, like they had been known to do on occasion. The self-proclaimed God of Death looked at her. One moment they were down on the grass together, and she was pleading for him not to stop, never to stop because it felt so good and right. Then he had looked up because he felt something that wasn't her.

She shivered slightly and Duo wrapped his arms around her. His warm body felt good against hers. She sighed and laid her head on his broad shoulder. He asked, "So you didn't feel it?"

She shook her head and replied, "No, I didn't feel a scream in my head or anything." She toyed with the chestnut brown braid of his hair, feeling the silky texture slip between her fingers.

Duo said, "That was really weird."

Moon Scepter Healing Activation!

Jennifer jolted in Duo's arms. She nodded and said, "Yeah, I felt it too."

Duo started to walk, keeping Jennifer close to him. He said, "Maybe we should ask all the other Gundam pilots if they felt it too."

Jennifer nodded and replied, "Good idea."

******

Heero Yuy got to a vidphone. The first person he contacted was Duo Maxwell. Hilde answered the vidphone. She smiled as she looked at Heero. She said, "Duo will be very happy when he founds out that you called, but upset because he wasn't here to talk to you."

"Where is he?" he asked Hilde.

Hilde smiled and answered, "On Earth getting some spare parts and visiting Jennifer. I think that she may start living here soon."

"Do you have any way that I can reach him?" Heero asked shortly.

Hilde nodded, worry masking her delicate features. She answered, "Sure Heero." She gave him a number.

Heero nodded, grunted and said, "Thanks." Then he closed out of the comlink. He called the number. Jennifer Darkfall's large, dark green eyes came over the screen.

She asked, "Heero, did you by any chance hear a scream in your head?"

Heero nodded and said, "Unha, that's why I'm calling."

"Duo and I heard it too. So did Quatre and Trowa. We haven't found Wufei yet," Jennifer informed him.

"Where is Duo right now?" Heero asked her.

Duo's girlfriend and fellow Gundam pilot shrugged. She answered, "Trying to call Wufei."

"We need to get together, find out what's causing this," Heero informed her.

"Do you have a place picked out?" she asked him, playing with her braid.

Heero nodded and grunted, "Unha, Quatre's corporation. He'll let us in."

"Okay, that's good. Are we are just gonna burst into Winner Corps?" she asked sarcastically.

Heero nodded and answered, "Yeah."

"Well, okay, I'll tell Duo right away," she told him.

"Thanks," he told her as he closed off the communications.

******

Quatre watched in surprise as Duo, Jennifer, Heero, and Trowa walked into the office building. He hit the comlink and said, "Show them up here." Within a few moments, they were all in the room.

Heero said, "We've got business to discuss."

Jennifer added, "Those freaky voices."

Duo said, "I wanna know what's causing them."

Quatre nodded and said, "Lets begin."
