Quatre watched as Duo weeding the backyard. Quatre shook his head as the baka took the hand-held shovel and flung a weed into the basket he had placed to put the weeds in.

"Did you see that, Quatre?" Duo asked. Quatre nodded.

"I doubt you can do it again." Quatre said. Duo grinned and continued to attack the weeds.

"Ha, the God of Death has claimed another victim!" Duo cried as he continued his attack on the garden weeds. Quartre shook his head.

"Duo, why don't you take it easy? You'll ware yourself out. No, wait. You live your life out to its fullest, Duo. I just hope Kai and Heero will be back to see you live." Quatre said as he was washing dishes. Quatre stopped to looked down at the picture he had moved into the kitchen. It was a school picture that some girl had taken of the group.

~"Hey Quatre. Whatcha reading?" Duo asked. Quatre looked up. "Physics?" Trowa asked as he read over Quatre's shoulder. Quatre looked up at Trowa and smiled. "Being the heir of the Winner family, I have to be able to know everything about mechanics." Quatre said. Duo laughed. "You pilot a gundam. What more can you learn from using it's systems?" Duo asked. Kai walked over to him and smacked him on the back of his head. "Some of us want to be intelligent, Duo. Quatre just wants to know more about other types of mechanics." Kai said. Duo rubbed the back of his head and walked over to the balcony. Kai rolled her eyes and looked over at Heero. At that time, Kai was so trying to get Heero and Duo together, even though she was in love with both. Quatre smiled and returned back to his book. Duo lend over the railing on the balcony. "What are you doing, Duo?" Heero asked as he pulled Duo away from the edge. "I wanted to see if I could fly." Duo said. "Grow up, Baka." Heero grunted. Kai rolled her eyes again. "Not this agrument again." Kai mumbled. "No, maybe you need to act your age. You act too grown up for your age." Duo said. "Maxwell is right. You need to act your age, Yuy." Wufei added. Kai laughed and walked over Trowa and Quatre. Heero glared at Wufei while still holding onto Duo. Suddenly a flash of light appeared and the picture was taken.~

Kai sat down in the peace counsel meeting. They were still arguing about the Myrian travel. Kai sighed. She had been told that a decision had been reached. She didn't have time to waste. She wanted to go back to Duo before his last day. She was going to be very mad if this meeting was going to take more than just a few hours. That's all she could spare. She didn't want to be more than a day away from Duo, but she had been gone for two days. She wouldn't be able to live down the guilt and regret that would fill her if she wasn't there.

"What do you think about the situation, Princess Krlya?" Relena asked. Kai snapped back to realty.

"I think that this argument could have ended months ago. I thought I had a minor request. According to my people, I'm much more advance and they wish to learn the customs of Earth. They want to travel and live among humans. I was brought here, under my free will, to save my people. Now only a fraction of them are still alive. If you won't grant it because it might frighten the people of Earth and the colonies, then grant it in hopes the Myrians will forgive what has happened to them. Most of them are parts of huge families. My cousin, Licena, was the baby in her family of 30. Now she is the only one alive. She doesn't blame me or anyone else. She believes that only fate is what you make it. The Myrians just want to be free to do whatever they want. They don't want to start a war. Please consider this." Kai said. She stood up and turned away from the table.

"Very well spoken, Princess. You speak from your heart and your words are those of your people. This is the first time I've heard you speak with such passion. After you had voiced your request, Miss Relena has spoken on your behave. I decide long ago to grant the Myrians freedom to travel, but I wanted to hear you speak your feelings. I wouldn't want the Myrians feeling like the colonist did when the Earth's Sphere Alliance forbade them to travel. I only wish you and your people good luck, Princess." The counsel head said. Kai turned and smiled. She bowed her head.

"Thank you very much. You have no idea how much this means to me." Kai said. Suddenly there was a sharp pain in her stomach. She cringed.

"Krlya? Are you ok?" Relena asked. She was about to get out of her chair when Kai shook her head.

"I'm fine, Relena. It's just a stomache or something like that. I just need some rest." Kai said. She bowed her head to the counsel head and left the room. Licena stood next to the door.

"Kai, are you alright?" Licena asked. Kai shook her head.

"I think we need to go to the hospital." Kai managed to say. The pain in her stomach was unbarable. She had been hurt before, badly too, but nothing hurt as much as this did. Licena put her hand on Kai stomach.

"Huh? Oh, my gosh. I believe you're right. Let's go. I'll send to counsel your regards afterwords." Licena said as she helped Kai down the hall and towards the exit. Relena watched them leave as she walked out of the counsel room.

"I wonder what's wrong with her. I hope it isn't anything major." Relena said to herself.

"Heero, don't leave Duo alone. I don't like him being alone."

Heero woke up with a start. Duo's death was plaguing his dreams. He couldn't sleep with thinking about it. How can Death die? He had alway seemed so full of life, and now he's going to die soon. Heero just still couldn't believe that Duo was dieing.

~Heero was walking through a cemetary. He stumbled over a grave. All it said was,"In the memory of 02." That was it. No name or anything about Duo. He seemed to be just a number. Then he noticed four others next to Duo's. One for each of the other pilots. What could this mean? Heero just couldn't figure out what any of this meant.~

"If no one is around to see me live, who's to say I lived at all?"

Heero blinked. His thoughts knew what he had to do, but his mind wasn't quite grasping it. Kai didn't want Duo to die alone and Duo didn't want to either. Heero just couldn't understand what his thoughts were trying to tell him. Heero picked up the picture of the six of them together. Heero noticed how happy Duo looked in the picture. He was surrounded around his friends and family.

"That's it!" Heero said as he jumped out of bed and gathered his stuff. "Hang on Duo. Hang on for a few more days. After I complete my last mission, I'll be coming back." Heero ran out of his room and into the streets of the colony

Wufei stood, watching the world move around him. He didn't care about the fact that no one noticed him. All those who he wished to notice him were dead. Wufei was still moring the lost of his dear wife Nataku. He couldn't do so during the war, because he had to fight. Now he had the chance to do whatever he wanted. He decided it was time for him to move on. He bowed his head and walked away from the crowded street. Suddenly a hand touched his shoulder.

"Chang, Wufei?" The person asked.

"Yeah. That's my name. What do you want?" Wufei said as he turned around and saw Heero.

"It's not what I want, its what Duo wants." Heero said.

"Huh, what are you talking about, Yuy?" Wufei asked. Heero shook his head and drug Wufei down the street.

"Where are you taking me, Heero?"

"We're going to find Trowa and then we're going to see Duo." Heero said. Wufei pulled himself away from Heero.

"I don't have time, Yuy. I have to move....." Wufei said. Heero grapped him again.

"Wufei, believe me when I say we need to be with Duo." Heero said.

"What's so important that you need me and Barton? What about Winner and Kai? Can't they help you?" Wufei asked. Heero shook his head.

"I need you and Trowa too. Quatre's already at Duo's and Kai should be back there soon." Heero explained.

"What's the rush, Yuy? It's not like Maxwell is dying." Wufei said. Heero stopped. He looked down at his feet. "What's wrong, Yuy?"

"Duo is dying. That's why I want you two. He wants all together before he dies." Heero said sadly. Wufei nodded his head.

"Then lets hurry and find Barton." Wufei said. Heero looked up at Wufei and nodded.

"Why does it have to hurt so much." Duo said as he woke up. The pain had woken him up again. Now it was harder to ignore than ever. Duo looked at the bottle of pills sitting on his bedside table. He picked them up. "You don't do anything for me. You just deaden the pain and not prolong life. You just make me cranky and sleepy. I can tell that the effects are wearing down on poor Quatre. Yet you can also end my life." Duo said to the bottle of pain killers.

"Duo, just hold on long enough. When it happens, I'll come running back. All you have to do is fight the pain. Just to see it for one day. That's all I ask. I know that's what you want."

"Kai, why wouldn't Heero stay? He knows I'm dying. I want him to be here with me in my last days." Duo said.

"Duo, just believe in him and he'll come to you. I just know it. You have to have faith that he will be there when you need him."

"Ugh, I know you're right Kai." Duo said as he threw the pills on the floor. He curled up in the middle of the bed, and tried to ignore the pain. "I want the both of you here with me. I have faith that you will be here. Not because you promised you'd be here, but because I know you'd hate to be anywhere else. I'm going to fight it and wait until you both get here." Duo said. He closed his eyes and evenually went to sleep.

Kai woke up suddenly. She sat up and noticed she was in the hospital. She tried to get out of the bed, but she was strapped down. Licena got up from where she had been sitting all night.

"Kai, are you alright?" Licena asked. Kai nodded and struggled to get out of the bed. The straps on the bed were too strong for her to break.

"Help me get out of here." Kai said. Licena shook her head.

"The doctors said that you are to stay here for two more days. You've lost alot of blood and you need to rest." Licena said. Kai shook her head.

"I have to leave now. I've had worst done to me. Don't they know I was a gundam pilot. I've been hurt more and still been able to walk away. I need to leave." Kai complained. The door opened and a doctor walked in.

"Oh, Princess Krlya. You're awake." The doctor said.

"When can I leave?" Kai snapped.

"Two days. You need to regain your strength." The doctor said.

"I'm fine. I want to leave today." Kai snapped.

"But you've lost alot of blood and...." The doctor said.

"I've been shot in the lung before. I walked away from it fine. Then I got the bullet removed. I was still fine. Loss of blood is my last concern. I have some place to be." Kai interupted.

"But the........" The doctor said.

"No. You don't know Myrian life systems. Everything is fine. Give me the paper work and I'll fill it out. After that, I'm leaving. End of decision. From both of you." Kai snapped. The doctor nodded and ran out of the room. "Get these straps off of me, now. The sooner I'm done here, the sooner I can go back to Duo."

Licena unbunkled the straps.

"Why is this Duo so important to you?" Licena asked.

"He was the first human to treat me like I was human. He was so nice to me. Then I fell in love with him. I just wanted him to be happy. Now he's dying and I want to remember him during his last days." Kai said. Licena helped Kai out of her bed.

"He must be a very special human then." Licena said. Kai nodded.

"I don't want to remember him for the pilot he use to be, but the great guy he is." Kai said. Licena nodded and helped Kai out to the lobby of the hospital to fill out the paper work.

"Hold on, I'm coming." Cathrine said as she walked towards the door of her apartment. She answered the door to find Heero standing in front of her. "Um, can I help you?"

"I'm looking for Trowa Barton. Is he here?" Heero asked. Cathrine nodded.

"Come in, and I'll go get him." Cathrine said. She walked into the apartment and Heero followed her. "Trowa! You have a visitor!"

"Alright. I'm coming." A familiar voice said. Heero sat down and Trowa walked into the room. "Heero. What brings you here?"

"You." Heero said.

"Um, I'll just go make some coffee." Cathrine said as she walked out of the room.

"What do you mean?" Trowa asked. Heero stood up.

"Duo is dying, Trowa. He wants us all to be there to see him live before he dies." Heero said.

"You're kidding, right?" Trowa asked. Heero shook his head.

"I wish I was. So Trowa, gather what you need because you're coming with me." Heero said. Trowa nodded and went to gather his things. Then the two left the apartment.
