Several months have past since the funeral. Although they didn't stay together, they did keep in touch.

Wu Fei and Sally joined the newly founded Preventers. They were currently on assignment in the L8 area. They were talking of getting married.

Hiiro and Duo were traveling from colony to colony and to Earth, removing threats to Relena's Peace efforts. Occasionally they would help Sally and Wu Fei as freelance agents. They seem very happy together.

Trowa stayed in the huge empty house that Quatre left him; Catherine or the other pilots occasionally visiting.

In the will it stated that the blonde wanted him to have a place of his own, that Trowa could call home. Quatre also left him his share of Winner Enterprises, so that he would be financially stable for the rest of his life. The final item that Trowa's precious little one had left him was the flute and violin on which they had played their first and only duet together. The rest of Quatre's possessions were divvied up between his family, the Maganac, the pilots and sold off at auctions, the proceeds going to the After War Recovery fund.

The banged boy often took the flute to the cemetery, and played what was on his heart. The wind carried the melancholy music up to the heavens, where he believed Quatre played along with him. Sometimes he missed the blonde so much he thought he would die, but there were times where it felt as if Quatre was still with him, and he could get by with everyday life.

Trowa tried to live his life as the person Quatre could love, and be proud of. At Sally and Wu Fei's prodding, he too joined the Preventers.

It was at one of these meeting where the question of the Gundams came up.

"They are dangerous. Several rogue groups have already tried to steal them." Sally reported.

"But they're our Gundams!" Duo protested, "Our partners!"

"Yes, Duo." Trowa acknowledged, "but in this era they're obsolete."

"So you're saying we should get rid of them?" Hiiro raised an eyebrow.

Wu Fei glared. He did not agree with that notion.

"I think it would be best." Trowa nodded, "It would be what Quatre would want."

The room became tense in silence.

"What do you suggest?" Hiiro asked.

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!" Duo and Wu Fei exclaimed together.

Trowa blinked in surprise, of all the pilots, he didn't think Hiiro would be the one to support him. "I was thinking that we could send the Gundams and the design specs for them into the sun. That way there wouldn't be any trace of them and nothing for people to use to rebuild with."

Hiiro gave a curt nod, "Just send me the coordinates." He said getting up and leaving the room.

"B-But . . .Hiiro. . ." Duo protested, as WU Fei also stood.

The Chinese boy didn't cease to scowl, "I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but there is no way that I'm going to get rid of Nataku." He stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

Sally stood to go after him, "Excuse me. . ." she apologized, "WU FEI. . ." She called.

Duo leaned back into his chair and drummed his fingers on the table. He was thinking. "Trowa. . ." He began slowly, "Why do you think Quatre would want this?"

"I can't say."

"He left it in his will, huh." Duo sighed heavily. "I have some hesitations about this." He admitted, "I mean. . . what if we need them again? What if another war breaks out?"

Trowa shrugged, "Then we'll figure something out. Quatre believed in fighting for peace and in preserving it. The Gundams are a threat to that."

Duo sighed again before standing. "If it's what you and Hiiro think is right. . .and it's what Quat would want. . .then just send me the coordinates along with Hiiro."

"Thank you, Duo." Trowa nodded.

"Yeah. . . I just hope we don't regret it. . ." The braided boy mumbled, as he left the banged boy alone.

"We won't." Trowa said with certainty.
