(Mobile Suit Gundam Wing doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the awesome people at Sunrise and Bandai. Only my character Marissa belongs to me.)
Cecily: Ohayo minna! I'm back with another installment of "The Reunion of Two Pilots Side Stories!" This time I'm writing about Quatre and Marissa! Marissa is a character I'm writing about and her fic should be out as soon as I can get the Prologue written!
Marissa: Um, Cecily? Why isn't Kasey writing this? After all, she DID write "The Reunion of Two Pilots".
Cecily: Oh, Kasey had some problems to take care of.
Quatre: (blinks) No she didn't, you tied her up! (opens the closet door and Kasey is shown, swearing while a gag is in her mouth)
Cecily: (blinks innocently) Tell me Quatre-chan, who would you rather write this. Me, or Kasey, who will most likely turn this into a lemon?"
Quatre: (turns red and closes the closet door) Good point.
Cecily: Now, please enjoy "The Reunion of Two Pilots Side Story 2: Quatre and Marissa."
(Note: Just to let you know, I write under both Cecily and Kasey. I just do the opening and closing bits because, frankly, I'm just weird. :P)

The Reunion of Two Pilots Side Story 2: Quatre and Marissa
by Cecily Ronah
After Colony 197- Tokyo, Japan
"Mr. Winner!"
Quatre turned to see a man dressed in an Armani suit coming towards him. "Yes, Yamato-san?" he asked as his blonde hair moved softly in the gentle breeze. He was dressed in his usual pink shirt, vest and khakis, making him look more dressed down than the man before him.
"Mr. Winner, are you sure you can't stay for tomorrow's banquet?"
Quatre smiled apologetically. "Thank you for asking, but I really need to get back to L4 and help my sisters out."
Yamato nodded. "I understand. Would you like a ride then to the airport?"
Quatre shook his head. "I'd rather walk. I'd like to see some of Tokyo before my flight. See you at the next conference." He shook the man's hand and walked away.
'Finally! A little privacy!' Quatre thought as he walked aimlessly through Tokyo. Ever since he took over his father's company, he hadn't had a minute to himself. "Sometimes being a Winner sucks," Quatre muttered.
"Watch out!" a girl's voice cried out.
Quatre turned around as he was pushed out of the way before a hockey puck connected with his head.
"Oof!" Quatre cried out as he onto his back. "What the hell...." he started to say, but froze when he looked up into a pair of beautiful blue eyes. He blinked when he saw the rest of the girl's face. Blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, but strands of hair framed her flawless peach-toned face. 'She looks like a princess....' Quatre thought to himself.
"Oh, gods, gomen ne!" the girl exclaimed, helping Quatre sit up. "I almost killed you with a hockey puck!"
"What? Oh don't worry about it, I'm fine," Quatre said, trying to calm the girl down.
The girl smiled slightly. "I know, and I'm glad you're not hurt, but I hate it when Amara's right!" The girl clenched her fists angrily.
Quatre blinked, confused. "Who?"
"My cousin's girlfriend." The girl blinked before blushing. "Oh gomen, I haven't introduced myself yet." She held out her hand and smiled. "I'm Marissa Kaiou."
"Quatre Raberba Winner," he said, shaking Marissa's hand. 'Even her name is like a princess' would be.'
'It's nice to meet you Quatre," Marissa replied. "Your accent, it's Arabic, right?"
"Yes, it is," Quatre was surprised. No one had ever picked up on it before. "How did you know that?"
Marissa sweatdropped. 'Smooth move Kaiou,' she though. "Well, I...."
"Mariko!"
Marissa sighed and rolled her eyes before turning her head around. "Hai, Haruka-san?"
A boy with short blonde hair walked up to the pair, an angry look on his face. To Quatre he looked liked a boy, but Marissa knew it was Amara. "I told you not to hit the puck that hard," she snapped.
Marissa got up to her feet angrily, "Thanks for asking if this guy was alright," Marissa snapped back. "You're so caring, Haruka-san."
Quatre watched Marissa and the boy Haruka yell at each other in Japanese. He didn't know enough Japanese to understand what they were saying, but he did know when some swear words were being thrown out, thanks to Heero. His eyes widened slightly. 'Whoa, I didn't even know those words could be used in the same sentence.'
Marissa narrowed her eyes at Amara, but said calmly in English, "I'll meet you and Michelle in a minute. Now please go."
Amara started to say something, but snapped her mouth shut when Marissa gave her a death glare. "Hai, Mariko-san," she muttered as she bowed slightly and left.
Marissa turned back to Quatre. "Gomen ne, Quatre-san," she said, embarrassed. "Amara can be a little protective at times, but she's really nice once you get to know her."
Quatre raised an eyebrow. "Her?" I thought she was a boy."
"That's what most people think at first too, especially girls. She doesn't mind though." She held out her hand. "Need a lift up, or do you like being close to the ground?"
Quatre laughed and grabbed her hand. "Thanks," he said as Marissa pulled him up.
"No problem, and I'm really sorry about Amara...."
Quatre shook his head. "Don't worry about it." He looked at his watch. "Crap, I have to go. My shuttle leaves for L4 in a hour and a half."
'L4?' Marissa thought, knowing that sounded familiar. "Oh, well then, it was meeting you Quatre," she said slowly.
"Nice meeting you too, Marissa. Hope to see you around. Bye." Quatre bowed before turning and walking away.
"Bye." Marissa watched Quatre walk away. She crossed her arms thoughtfully. "Winner," she muttered. "Where have I heard that name before?"
Several months later....
Quatre rubbed his forehead, knowing a headache was coming on. If he had to listen to one more report....
"Quatre?" Quatre looked over to see Relena Peacecraft, the leader of the World Colony Nations looking at him worriedly. "Are you all right? You look a little tired."
Quatre shook his head. "I'm alright, Relena-san. Just a little tired is all."
Relena smiled softly. "I understand."
"And this concludes this meeting. Thank you all for coming and I hope your return home is safe."
"Thank gods. If I had to listen to one more report....." Relena said, standing up.
Quatre laughed. "That's just what I was thinking. Come on, I'll buy you lunch."
"Thank you Quatre. That's very sweet. We can go to this nice place I heard about. It's an game arcade that I heard serves some great food." They both left the building and walked the several blocks to the arcade. When they walked in, they walked into a argument.
"Raye, why do you always have to be so mean!" a girl with her long blonde hair up in two odangos whined.
"Stop whining Serena!" a girl with long black hair snapped. "It's embarrassing!"
"You're both embarrassing yourselves, now stop it!" a familiar voice spoke up.
Quatre recognized it like the back of his hand. "Marissa?"
"Hmm?" Marissa looked over where the voice came from and smiled at who she saw. "Quatre! Ohayo!" She got out of the booth and walked up to him. "It's been awhile. How have you been?"
"I've been great. Marissa, this is a friend of mine, Relena. Relena, this is Marissa Kaiou. I met her a few months ago. She saved me from a runaway hockey puck."
Relena smiled and shook Marissa's hand. "It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too." She looked at Quatre. "So what brings you here?"
"We heard the food is good here," he replied. "What's your take on it?"
Before Marissa could reply, a scream was heard outside. Amara got up out of the booth. "Mariko, come on!" she told her.
"Hai. Excuse me Quatre." Marissa, along with the others that were there, ran out of the arcade.
"What's going on?" Relena asked.
"I don't know," Quatre replied, "but we're going to find out. Come on!" They ran out into the street and saw people running and screaming. They looked in the direction they were running from and saw some youmas chasing after some people. "Relena, run and find some help!"
Relena nodded and ran off. Quatre then ran towards the youmas. "What the hell are these things?"
One of the youmas spotted Quatre. "Stupid human! You actually think you can fight us!" It was about to throw a energy ball at him when something hit him from behind.
"SUNBEAM SMASH!"
The other youma turned around and growled. "Who did that?"
"I did!" A girl in a yellow sailor suit and a tiara on her forehead appeared in several feet away from the youma and Quatre, her blonde hair moved freely in the breeze. She made several body movements as she said, "I am the Sailor Senshi of Peace and Happiness. I am Sailor Starburst, and in the name of the moon, I shall punish you!"
"Ah! Sailor Starburst, just who I was waiting for! I'll deal with you in a moment, but first, away with this human!" He then threw a ball of energy at Quatre, too fast for him to dodge it.
Starburst's eyes widened. "Quatre, watch out!" She ran in front of the beam and pushed Quatre down to the ground, covering his body with her own as the energy hit a wall, a large piece of it falling on the two.
The youma laughed. "Like you humans say, killing two birds with one stone is better than one." It laughed and took off.
Little did the youma know that Sailor Starburst and Quatre were safe, as the large piece of wall fell on top of a smaller piece, leaving them enough space to move, but not much.
"Great," Starburst muttered as she tried to roll off of Quatre, but couldn't, not that she really wanted to. "Just what I need, more crap from Amara when I get home."
'Amara?' Quatre thought. Then it hit him. "Oh my god! Marissa!"
"Heh, guess you know my day job now."
"But.... but how?"
Marissa sighed. "Well, since we're going to be here awhile, I might as well tell you. You might think I'm talking crazy, but I'm actually a Princess, of the Moon Kingdom to be more precise." "Moon Kingdom? I thought that was just a story," Quatre said.
"No, it's real. Until it's time for my sister Serena to revive the Moon Kingdom, we protect this world as Sailor Senshi." She laid her head on Quatre's shoulder and looked up at him. "So, do you have any secrets?"
Quatre shrugged his shoulders slightly. "Not really."
"Oh come on, you have to have something."
"Nope."
Marissa gave him a look. "I bet I know what your secret is."
Quatre looked her in the eyes. "Yeah, right."
Marissa lifted her head up and looked down at him. "How about this: During the war, you were the pilot of the Gundam Sandrock Kai."
Quatre looked at her in shock. Finally, he asked. "How?"
"When you first told me your name, it didn't really click, but when you told me that you were going to L4, it began to ring a bell. That, and the fact I was a Gundam pilot too."
Quatre looked at Marissa warily. "You were? But I don't remember hearing of any other pilots."
"That because you didn't," she said. "We were pretty much there for backup if you ever needed it, but we did small jobs now and then."
Quatre shifted slightly, making Marissa lay her head back down. "What Gundam?"
"09, also known as the Warrior Star." She shifted uncomfortably. "Damn."
"What's wrong?"
Marissa blushed. "Uh, my underwear is riding up and I can't reach it. Could you, uh...."
Quatre said nothing as he moved his hand up enough so he could pull Marissa's underwear out from between her butt. "There."
"Thanks Q-chan. Sometimes this outfit bites." She blinked at the look Quatre gave her. "Nani?"
Quatre flushed slightly. "You... called me Q-chan...."
Marissa smiled. "The name fits you. I hope you don't mind."
"No, actually I don't, Mariko."
Marissa's smile grew wider. She sighed as she buried her face in Quatre's neck. "I'm going to have to thank that youma later."
"Why's that?" Quatre murmured, liking the scent Marissa was giving off. A mixture of sunflowers and.... the ocean.
"Because, I always have this dream of a day when my prince would come back to me, and that youma made me realize that he did. It was the day I met you."
Quatre lifted her head and looked into her eyes before lowering her lips towards his and.....
"Mariko!"
Marissa blinked before groaning. "Amara." She lifted her head and shouted. "I'm right here!"
Several minutes later, the large piece of wall was moved and Amara lifted Marissa out, who had since changed back into her civilian form.
Michelle hugged her cousin. "I was so worried," she said.
"Don't worry, Michelle, I'm fine."
"What happened?" Amara asked, giving Quatre a dirty look as she help him up.
"To make a long story short, I saved Quatre from being killed, he knows that I'm a Sailor Senshi, and we're in love. Let’s go, I’m hungry." She started to walk away when Amara grabbed her arm.
"What? You don't even know him!" She started to say more when Michelle placed a hand on Amara's shoulder.
"Haruka, Mariko's not a child anymore," Michelle said quietly. "She is seventeen years old, and she's old enough to make her own decisions. You need to trust her judgment."
Amara looked at Marissa for a moment before saying, "Fine, but if he does anything to hurt you...."
Marissa smiled and hugged Amara tightly, "Arigato Haruka-chan!" She kissed her on the cheek and went over to Quatre.
"Hai, arigato Haruka-san," Michelle said, smiling, as she kissed Amara. Amara smiled and pulled her girlfriend closer.
Marissa ran up to Quatre and jumped into his arms, laughing. He held her close to his body and she wrapped her arms around his neck. "So I take it Amara is okay with this?" he asked, smiling softly.
"Mmmhmm." She kissed him on the lips. "Ai shiteru Quatre-chan," she whispered.
"I love you too," Quatre said, returning the kiss.
Three years later- October 23, After Colony 200
"Mariko?" Marissa opened her eyes to see Quatre with their year old daughter Emily in his arms. "How are you feeling?"
"A little tired, but I'm fine," she said smiling as Quatre lean down to kiss her. "Hello Emily," she cooed at her daughter, making her giggle. "How's my big girl?" She winced slightly.
"Everything alright?" Quatre asked, worried.
"Don't worry, I just have a daughter that likes to suck my nipple a little too hard," she said, looking down at her day old daughter.
Quatre laughed as he sat down on the bed next to Marissa. "Hey, Emmy, this is your new baby sister, Mandy."
"Mandy..." Emily said slowly, touching Mandy's soft blonde hair gently. Mandy whimpered slightly, but resumed her eating. Emily giggled before yawing and snuggling up against her father and going to sleep.
Quatre brushed Marissa's cheek softly with his hand, making his wife lean into the caress and look at him lovingly. "You know how much I love you, right my moon princess?" he said, this time brushing his lips against hers.
Marissa giggled at the nickname he gave her and pressed her lips against his. "I know," she whispered. "I love you too."
Quatre: (hugged Cecily tightly) Arigato Cecily-chan!
Cecily: I told you I wouldn't make that into a lemon. Sure, there's some boobs in there..... anyway, please email me at kasey_sanada@hotmail.com and tell me what you think, or please place a review. Ja na minna!
