********************
In the tears of the twilight from the everlasting silence, a young boy
with unruly brown hair gazed longingly up to the stars of heaven.
He neither cried, smiled, or moved from the spot as he stood there
simply observing the night sky. His eyes were
shining, from what?...loneliness...or possibly for pain that was
left when the one he loved was now gone, away and gone forever.
Whatever it is, his eyes radiated with grief and sorrow.

<Searching for yesterday, frozen in time, into the darkness of quietly
sealed up memory, Confused, with injured and broken wings, I gaze into
the sea of the Milky Way.>

(What now? What's there left for me?) Heero wondered.

<You who have lost a place to return to,
What do you keep flying for?>

"All I have left is nothing but a simple promise to her and to go
back to what I was before..a Gundam Pilot."Heero whispered out as his
gaze shifted to the illuminating light of the moon.

<For instance, even if you smile, the wind dances without rest.
Without shadow, without light, toward tomorrow where anger and
solitude meet.>

<The constellations are spread out limitlessly, only the footsteps are
dissolving into the night.
The heartbeats are whipped by the freezing heart, shaking
up the sleeping earth.>

(Nothing here, it's so quiet right now..just the soft breeze, cold
atmosphere, and the silence...the endless silence..)Heero continued.

"If only things have changed. If only you were still alive, right here
and now,"Heero muttered.

<The distant dream is drifting, knocking far away.
Who are you flying for?>

With one last look at the night sky, Heero turned and walked away.
"Only if...that's all there is now.."Heero whispered.

<For instance, even if you smile, the wind blows by without noticing.
Let's escape from this confining present, where there is neither joy
nor pain, towards tomorrow.>

(I'll keep my promise to you, Serena...)Heero vowed with a small smile
on his lips but his expression changed from loneliness and pain to a
cold exterior filled with nothing but indifference.

<For instance, even if you smile, the wind dances without rest.
Without shadow, without light, toward tomorrow where anger and
solitude meet.>

Heero continued on, back to his room and at his present location. Alone in
the confining space where he was met with nothing but the quiet glow from
his laptop. Back to what he was before, a ruthless and cold soldier,
experiencing neither pain nor love.
He smirked at the screen before him as he continuously hacked into data
base files to read the secrets that layed in store for him.
But suddenly his prussian blue eyes clouded as a memory resurfaced.

*Flashback*
Watching her there, staring back at him and then at the other guys.
Seeing her ride the horse, expertly and without flaw.
Introductions met.
*Another Flashback*
Death...that's all there was for her.
Confessions of love.
Her hand falling to the ground, her eyes closing.
The silver necklace he gave her and kept.
*End of Flashback*
(You kept it for me...)Heero whispered inside his head.
A soft smile appeared on his lips but then it quickly vanished as a lone
tear made its way down his cheek. It immediately disappeared as he wiped
it away with his hands and put up his cold facade.

<For instance, even if you smile, the wind blows by without noticing.
Let's escape from this confining present, where there is neither joy nor
pain, towards tomorrow.>

"She's gone now...I need to get over this,"Heero simply stated in monotone
as he continued with what he was doing before; ignoring the images
that came up.


****************************
Back at the Base of the Moon
****************************
(Heero...may we meet again..)Serena thought inside her head.
She was bleeding drastically, blood spilled all around her.
Just then, two soldiers entered the room. They stared around
and one of them came up to her.
"This one is nearly alive. Should we take her with us?"the guard
asked.
"Yeah, it's the only thing near to life around here,"the other replied.
"Let's go, nothing left in this dump,"another said.
They nodded to one another and left with the body.
*************
It's been a year since that fateful day that met the five pilots.
A year since Oz was defeated as well as White Fang. The pilots
were seventeen now, and if Serena was here she would be as well.
Cherry blossoms drifted lazily from the Sakura trees that surrounded
them. They were spending the time out on a simple picnic.
Duo was acting his usual perky and cheerful self, loosening the
tension between his fellow comrades. Wufei was getting annoyed
by Duo. Trowa was ignoring them as he leaned against one of the
Sakura trees. Quatre was pleading his friends to stop the insanity
as Wufei got his kitana out and chased Duo, grabbing for his
precious braid.
*click of the safety off*
"Stop this. Or else I will kill you,"Heero stated in monotone,
pointing his gun at Duo and Wufei.
His cold glare made both stop and obey.
After eating a hearty meal, the five pilots did their normal
routine. For once, silence met all of them. It was calm and
peaceful there as they were left in their own thoughts.
Quatre lied down on the lush, cool grass. He closed his
eyes momentarily before turning to his friend nearby.
"It's so relaxing and peaceful here. How long has it been
since we had such a calm atmosphere? Where we didn't have
to worry about the upcoming mission, the wars, or the
death of innnocent life?"Quatre inquired.
"A long time ago...even before we were fifteen,"Trowa answered
quietly, not looking at Quatre but just at the ground with his head
downcast.
"Hmm.."Quatre replied.
The kind, platinum blond boy shifted his gaze from Trowa and
returned to stare at the blue sky. His eyes filled with innocence
and radiating compassion.
Two birds came and flew over the horizon.
Today was certainly peaceful indeed.
******************
Duo was perched on top of the branch of a tree, far away from
the other guys. His mind wondering about the war and the
colonies.
He didn't know why he was suddenly thinking about this, but he
just was. He lost so many people during the war as they fought
for peace or just got in the way of the fight.
(They shouldn't have died..)Duo thought to himself.
(But they had to..sacrifices have to be made..)a voice stated.
"Like what happened to Serena,"Duo said bitterly as his eyes
changed to hidden anger.
(The only one out of the six of us to die in the
war...)Duo uttered within his mind.
His gaze went out to the blue sky, the lush trees, and finally
the tranquil lake.
(She wanted to save all of this..and to her it was worth
it..)Duo concluded as his eyes turned to a glint of happiness
and he gave a genuine smile.
(..and it is worth it..)
****************
Wufei was near the calm serene lake, meditating and losing himself
within his mind. Finding peace.
The war was now over and now he could just calm down and start
anew. He was working with Sally Po to help put out any signs
of a new war that may break out. It was a strenuous job but someone
had to do it. Today, he could just rest and relax...he didn't
need to worry about anything, nothing at all.
***************
Admist from the five ex-pilots below, hidden from their view, a
lone figure was there. Gazing at all of them as they did their own
thing, as they calmly looked around the tranquil land.
(After a year, I finally find you...)the person thought, its eyes
shining with warmth.
The figure stood there on top of the cliff overlooking the
view, watching the five pilots.
(...what if, what if they don't want to see me? What if
he already forgot about me? Should I go anyway?)the figure thought
to herself with doubt.
(You should go and find out...surely it can't
hurt to try. Right?)a voice inside its head spoke.
"I suppose so..."sighed the figure and stepped forward from the
cliff and got a clear view, showing that it was a young woman
of seventeen.
The breeze strengthened and the cherry blossoms, fallen
green leaves, and the blow of the wind came up and surrounded
her figure. Her golden hair flowed and danced among the breeze,
the light of the sun shining down on her golden strands making it
sparkle. Cherry blossoms mixed with fallen leaves blew around her
lone figure and then away into the sky.
(May we meet again..Heero..)the figure said inside her head.
Her crystalline blue eyes shining as she stared at one lone
figure, lying on the green grass and up at the sky.
******************
(Serena...)Heero thought as he gazed at the blue sky.
His imagination took control and he pictured the one he loved
up at the blue sky. Her golden hair done in odangoes (((meatballs)))
and her shining blue eyes staring at him.
He brushed back his brown hair and stood up. He needed to
try and get this out of his system.
Ever since the death of Serena Usagi Tsukino a.k.a Moon, nothing
was quite the same. A day after her death, they all started
acting as if she wasn't even alive or even existed in this world.
They just avoided it like the plague.
Duo put up an act, goofing around and annoying Wufei and Heero
constantly. Wufei did his own thing, training and meditating and
chasing Duo around whenever he did his tricks on him. Trowa was
still quiet and kept his cool. Quatre was kind and caring
to all of them but he too kept away from speaking about
the sixth Gundam Pilot.
The Lunarian Moon was gone now, they hired a small crew to
take it away along with the other Gundams to be burned into the
sun. Now there were no memories of..her..
Hotaru and Dr. M were still around, Hotaru more than the scientist.
She was silent mostly and kept to herself. Dr. M acted as if
nothing at all was wrong..nothing at all.
Heero continued to walk and finally reached the edge of the lake.
Wufei was at the other side, meditating with a calm expression.
Duo was perched on top of a branch, lost in his thoughts, staring
blankly at the lake.
(It's so quiet...)Heero thought to himself.
****************
The figure watched, away from his eyes. Unmoving, her breathing
shallow and the shade of the trees concealing her body.
Heero watched the cool lake and then up at the blue sky, letting
out a small sigh. His eyes showing sadness and regret.
"Heero..."the figure whispered out.
(Huh? What..? It can't be..just my hopeful imagination..
yes..forget it Yuy. She's gone, dead and won't come
back..)Heero told himself with a mental slap.
Heero's eyes shined with sorrow as he continued to stare up
at the sky and then bent down to pick up a smooth, flat rock and
threw it at the lake making it skip halfway and then it fell
to the bottom.
"Serena...I kept my promise to you..."Heero whispered out as his
eyes saddened.
"Why couldn't you live instead of me?"Heero questioned himself.
"Heero.."the figure whispered out softly.
Heero heard it again but he just convinced himself once more
that it was only his imagination playing mean tricks on him.
(How many times have I hoped that she would just pop out
and say that she's alive. How many times have I dreamed, when I
am by myself that she is right there in front of me giving a
smile...?)Heero remarked.
"You should be alive, Serena..and not me,"Heero stated in partial
monotone and the other filled with love.
"Ashiteru...Serena,"Heero whispered out.
(He still loves me...)the figure said inside her head and
decided to step out.
"Ashiteru...Heero,"the figure stated as she revealed herself.
(Huh?)Heero wondered as he turned around to the sound of the voice.
There in front of him, as the wind blew by and cherry blossoms passed
between them, is Serena Usagi Tsukino.
"I said before and I will say again, I couldn't let you die.
You made a promise and that promise turned into a Mission for you.
I wanted you to keep your vow to me and now you have,"Serena Usagi
simply stated as she smiled at him, a truly happy and affectionate
smile.
"Serena.."Heero softly said in shock and surprise.
"Heero, I knew we would meet again,"Serena uttered.
Heero watched her and slowly came forward. His eyes filled with
confusion, love, and inquisition.
"Are..are you?"Heero started.
"..yes, I'm really here and alive,"Serena chuckled.
Heero gazed at her, taking in her sight. She had her
odango hair style on, wearing a white shirt and blue pants. On her
neck was the necklace he gave her. The silver necklace with the
snowflake pendant. Her eyes, instead of its regular hard, cold
stare was now replaced with sparkling warmth.
Heero gave a small smirk on his expression and put on a small smile.
"You still have the necklace.."Heero remarked.
"I wore it because you wished it...Hotaru told me a long, long
time ago,"Serena told him.
"I'm glad.."Heero softly said as he grabbed her around the waist
and held her in his arms.
He buried his head at the nape of her neck and just closed
his eyes, wishing that this will never end.
"I missed you.."Serena told him, lovingly.
"You're finally here...after these years,"Heero croaked out.
Two tears fell from his eyes, not because of sadness but out
of happiness.
Serena pulled back and wiped the tears and gave a small laugh.
"I thought you said that we shouldn't have our guard down
because it would be difficult to deal with when we're in a
tight situation?"Serena remarked with a smile.
"I said that didn't I? But I also said 'when we're in a
mission and in a tight situation'...we're not in one right
now, are we? The war is over and we're free to do what we want
unless another war starts up,"Heero told her.
"Hmm..."Serena said as she returned to his warm embrace.
Then the two gazed into each other's loving and warm
eyes, their faces coming closer and closer as it started
sealing the gap inbetween them.
Just as their lips were about to touch, they heard
voices coming their way and the two were out from the trance
they were in only moments ago.
(Grr...Duo Maxwell..)Heero growled inside his head as the
two let go of each other and stepped back.
"Serena?! You're back! And alive!"exclaimed Duo as he and the
other ex-pilots came toward them.
"Duo! Trowa! Quatre! Wufei!"greeted Serena with a grin.
"I..I thought you..you were.."stuttered Quatre, eyeing her with
astonishment.
"I thought I was too...but two soldiers came by the base
of the moon and I suppose they picked me up and got
me treated. I was in a bad shape for three months and after that..
I went and looked for you guys. The soldiers didn't have
any reason to keep me since Oz was starting to break up
at the time,"informed Serena Usagi.
"Well..Oz is gone, White Fang is defeated, and Tanis and
Tsu are dead! And on top of that! Serena is alive and
well! Mission: Complete!"Duo announced with a grin.
(Not totally...)thought Heero as he grabbed ahold of Serena's
hand and dragged her away from the others.
"What?! Hey!"started Duo as he was going to chase after them
but was held back by Trowa who stood in the way.
"Let them go..Duo,"commanded Quatre.
Duo gazed back at the two and then he caught the hint and
had a large grin on his face.
"It seems Perfect Soldier..isn't unemotional after all,"Duo stated
with twinkling, mischievious eyes.
"Hmph,"Wufei harrumphed and looked away, folding his arms.
***************
Heero stopped once they were inside the shades of the green
trees and some Sakura trees, the scene blocked from prying eyes
of his fellow comrades.
He encircled his arms around Serena's petite waist and pulled her
toward him. Heero gazed into her beautiful crystalline blue eyes,
getting lost into its depth.
"There is still one mission left for us to
accomplish.."Heero whispered to her.
"Oh? And what pray tell, is that?"Serena innocently asked as she
gazed back.
"This.."Heero answered as he brought his head down, closing the
gap between him and Serena.
Their lips lightly touched and then Serena put her arms around
his shoulders and brought his head down, deepening the kiss that
the two were sharing.
The soft lips pressed against each other, feeling its warmth and
love.
(After so long...)Heero said inside his head.
(Finally...)Serena thought.
Finally, the two drew back slowly..gazing at each other with such
passion.
"Now..."started Heero.
"Mission: Accomplished.."finished Serena.
Then the cherry blossoms blew in and surrounded the couple as they
were drawn to each other once again...forgetting the pain, the
cold, and the suffering that the two endured. It was all worth it
in their mind, as long as in the end, they would be brought
into each other's warm arms.

The End...
*****************
Honestly, I am deeply touched by all the faithful readers out
there who stuck to the story to the end! ^^ *sniff* It's so hard
to part from this story but..it had to end, right? Well thanks
for everything! Now I'll go and work on the other fics!
Yeah, yeah...I think it's a bit sappy of an ending...but
it's finished. I'm not sure what you think but I guess..this would
do for an ending...I hope. I brought her alive and back with
Heero! ;_; I'm sorry if it's not good enough...
*saddens and bows her head down in shame*
*Heero and the others come out with a gagged Relena*
Heero: You made me OOC in this...
Cheska: Not totally!
Heero: *glares* Whatever...at least I was partially main
character.
Cheska: *brightens up*
Duo: So, this is the end? What happened to me?
Quatre: And the rest of us?
Cheska: Uhmm...you lived up happily ever after?
Wufei: With what, onna?
Cheska: Ano..well with what you have!
Duo: *grumbles along with the other pilots*
*Relena manages to get the gag out of her mouth*
Relena: Hey! Heero is mine!
*Cheska comes up and gags her again, much to Relena's displeasure*
Cheska: Sorry, psycho here is around and awake..^^;;
*the G-pilots and Relena go away, grumbling and muffled protests
from Relena*
Cheska: Well..so long everyone! Sorry if the ending isn't too great..-_-;;
