An Enemy's Serenade
Chapter 1- Beautiful Voices
A blond boy sits at his desk as he writes in his journal.
I can?t believe how long this war has been going on for. It?s been 10 years since this war has started with the enemy and has gotten worse this past year. What made this year so much more difficult was the addition of a new mobile suit, actually a gundam, to the enemy?s forces. This gundam is supposedly controlled by Relena Peacecraft, the leader of our enemy. IT does more damage than the Preventer?s five gundams put together. I don?t know if we can hold out any longer. If we don?t get some kind of help soon, we may have to surrender.
?Hey Quatre!? the braided boy says as he peeks into the room. ?Stop writing in that diary of yours. Wufei is starting to get moody.?
?Alright Duo.? He closes the book and puts both his pen and the book in his desk drawer.
?Why did we decide to come here tonight?? the Chinese boy asks.
?Duo was the one who chose this place Wufei,? a dark brown haired boy replies.
?So why did you chose this place?? asks a light brown haired boy.
?Because Trowa, I heard that one of my favorite singers is singing here tonight and I want to hear her.?
?In other words, Duo is thinking about hitting on another girl.?
?That?s not true Heero. And what about you mister uptight? I?ve never seen you with a girl before.?
?Not everyone is girl crazy like you Duo,? Quatre replies.
?I am not. But Heero, will you ever talk to a girl??
?I?m not worried about girls right now. I just care about winning the war.?
?You?re a man though Heero. You should care a little about girls.? Duo peeks over Heero?s head and sees a girl with blond hair sitting at the bar. ?And there?s a cute one right behind you. Why don?t you go talk to her??
?I don?t feel like it.?
?Well, if you don?t go over there and talk to her, I?m just going to have to tell everyone in here about your secret.?
?Hm. Fine.? Heero gets up with his beer and walks over to the bar.
?What secret are you talking about?? Quatre asks Duo.
?I can?t tell you because if I do, I won?t have anything to blackmail Heero with,? he answers with a huge grin.
A young woman with blond hair sits at the bar quietly, stirring her drink. ?Excuse me?? She turns around to see Heero looking at her. ?Do you mind if I sit next to you??
?No, of course not.? Heero sits quickly and takes a drink. ?I?m Sakura.? She holds out her hand to Heero.
?Heero. I?m sorry to bother you, but my friend dared me to come over here.?
?Oh. Are you new around here? I haven?t seen you here before.?
?My friend forces us to come here so he could see this singer he likes so much tonight.? She turns around and looks at the tables.
?Which one is this friend of yours??
?The one with the long braid,? Heero answers without looking.
?OH, he looks like the immature kind.?
?HE is.? She turns back around and looks at her drink once more.
?Well, I?m glad he dared you over here. Not many cute guys talk to me. But the ones that do are usually real jerks.?
?Hm.?
?You don?t talk much do you??
?I don?t usually hang around with many people.?
?Well you should. You can meet very interesting people that way.?
?It?s just not me.?
?There?s always time to change though. Oh, wait. What time is it?? She looks at the clock on the wall. ?NO way! I?m gonna be late! Excuse me and nice to meet you.? She jumps off her chair and runs to the other side of the building.
?So Heero how was it? It wasn?t that bad right?? Duo asks appearing out of nowhere. ? Heero ignores Duo and just looks it the direction Sakura ran in. ?Heero? Hello? HE gets up off the chair and walks back toward the table.
?Duo, how much longer?? Wufei asks impatiently.
?It?s supposed to start soon.? Suddenly the lights dim and the curtains of the stage open. As it opens, Sakura and the rest of the band appear.
?That?s why she was in a hurry.?
?Who was in a hurry??
?The girl you told me to talk to.?
?You were talking to her?!?
?Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Tino?s. For you who don?t know me, my name is Sakura Dorlain and this is our band, The Starlights. Now for those who have know us for a while, you know that we?ve been trying to get ourselves a record deal and we finally got one a while ago. Starting next Friday, you?ll be able to buy our first ever CD. This may be one of the last times you ever see us in a room and paying no admission, but we promise to always be here Friday?s and thanks for being great supporters. And hopefully soon, we?ll get ourselves our first real concert, but now, let?s get started.? Sakura turns around and whispers something to the other members. She turns back toward the audience and the music starts.
I'm remembering every word
Left completely in this heart
I won't even let those little memories go,
Lock that treasure from this day on...
Next to being free,
It seems like my mouth wants to give way...
But everyone's unaware that it would always be a secret-
That happiness of loving you so...
The feelings in this wavering heart won't talk today,
Losing the long shadow of trust...
Only thinking apart, by oneself-
Holding someone tight but (still) lonesome...a beautiful distance...
Turning around, carried into the endless sky,
Beginning a painful trip,
You hold tight, unaware-
Now I want to stare at your smile...
But everyone's unaware that it would always be a secret-
That happiness of loving you so...
Even thought the night want to weep with the one holding his knees
Sometimes we'd meet tomorrow again-with a smile certainly...
After the music stops, everyone claps while Heero sits silently in his chair, staring at Sakura.
?Mister Merquise, all the repairs have been made to the ship and the mobile suits. We?re just waiting for your word.?
?That?s great. You can tell all the men that they can take a break. We won?t do anything until my sister gets back.?
?Alright, I?m sorry to say but our next song will be the last of the night and that means it is time for someone to come up on stage to sing with me. I already have someone in mind though. Mike, can you shine the light on the braided boy at table 15?? The light shines from Sakura to Duo. ?Why don?t you come up??
?Alright!? Duo hops out of his chair and runs up onto the stage.
?So, what?s your name?? she asks handing him an extra microphone.
?My name is Duo Maxwell.?
?Well Duo, I heard from someone tonight that you are a very big fan of this band.?
?Oh yeah. I love your music!? he says with a big smile.
?So, do you know the words to ?White Reflection???
?I only know the words in the chorus part.?
?That?s okay. You can sing that part with me when we get up to it.?
?Alright! This is so cool!?
?Before we start, do you want to dedicate this to someone or say something??
?Sure. I dedicate this to my girlfriend Hilde, who isn?t here right now, but girls, that means I?m not free. Also, could I have your autograph? Please??
?Of course. I?ll autograph my microphone and give you and your friends a tour backstage. How about that??
?That would be great!?
?Then let?s start.?
?Wait a minute. Don?t you want to dedicate this song to someone? Maybe a certain boy you met today? Hey lighting guy, can you get the spotlight on the dark brown haired boy at my table?? The light shines to Heero who sits there. ?Girls, sorry to say, but this man is taken. SO??
?Fine. I dedicate this song to the cute guy I met today. Ready??
?Ready.? The music starts and Sakura and Duo get ready.
I feel you love reflection
Far away painted in your eyes
As you gaze back at me
Never ending story...
The wings of courage you gave to me, I spread them open in my heart;
Their fluttering seems to shake off the sadness and painful scars...
Ah, I want to feel the pain of the pulsing,
The shining of the irreplaceable-of irreplaceable love
I feel your love reflection
Pile up the dreams ever thickly
The young ones who desire each other-fearless of making mistakes!
I feel your love reflection
Far away painted in your eyes
As you gaze back at me
Never ending story...
I want to softly communicate to your bare skin the feelings that are spilling over,
As if hugging close the strength to become gentle...
Ah, I just want to nobly and lithely
Over come this unstable age-these unstable days...
I feel your love reflection
The truth of our acceptance of each other
Kiss me-and there's nothing else that I'll need!
I feel your love reflection
Believe in the passion that will not give up
Our piercing through the eternal battle
Never ending story...
I feel your love reflection
Pile up the dreams ever thickly
The young ones who desire each other-fearless of making mistakes!
I feel your love reflection
Far away painted in your eyes
As you gaze back at me
Never ending story...
The audience claps once more and Duo hops off the stage. ?Thank you everyone for coming tonight. Don?t forget we are here every Friday. See you next week!? She waves goodbye and takes a bow as the curtains close.
?Come on you guys,? Duo says in anticipation as he drags his four friends back stage, ?I don?t want her to leave.?
?She isn?t going to leave Duo.?
?Hey you guys!? Sakura walks up to the five guys holding a microphone and a pen in her hand. ?I?m glad you guys decided to come back here.?
?Do you have the autograph??
?Well, I wanted to see what you wanted me to write.?
?Write ?To Duo, It was great having you on stage with me. Best Wishes, Sakura.? Sakura takes her pen and writes down the message.
?Here you go.? She puts the pen away and hands Duo the microphone.
?Thanks. Wait until Hilde sees this.?
?You were very good tonight Miss Sakura.?
?Thank you. It seems you know my name, but it would be a pleasure if I could know yours.?
?My name is Quatre Rebaba Winner. This is Trowa Barton, Wufei Chang and you already know Heero and Duo.?
?It?s nice to meet you all. Now, would you like to meet the rest of the band??
?Sure we would.?
?Okay, then follow me.? Sakura leads them onto the closed stage and stops in front of the set. ?Gang, I want to introduce you to Duo Maxwell, Quatre Rebaba Winner, Trowa Barton, Wufei Chang, and Heero??
?Yuy.?
?Sorry, I guess I forgot to get your last name. Guys, I want to introduce you to Mary, our drummer, Amuro, the leader guitarist, Mia, the woodwind player, Harry, our keyboardist, Ami, our bell player, Jim, our synthesizer, and Greg, our multitalented musical instrumentalist.?
?Your what??
?It?s just a fancy way of saying I?m the person who plays the extra instruments that may change from song to song. I?m also in charge of getting us gigs.?
?It?s nice to meet you guys. You know, Sakura doesn?t always give backstage tours to her guests.?
?That makes this even better.?
?I would love to see another concert. Do you know when it is??
?I think we?re having another one on Wednesday at the?um??
?At the bar down on Main Street. The one with the strange name.?
?Thanks. I hope you do come. If you do, I?ll make sure that you get a good seat.?
?So Sakura, where do you live??
?Actually, I don?t really have any place to live. I just go wherever I can find place. I really can?t find a place cheap enough.?
?That?s horrible, but I have an idea.?
?Duo having an idea? Something must be up.?
?Heero, you?re still looking to rent out that room right??
?Yeah.?
?Sakura can rent it out then. Can I have your pen?? Sakura gives him her pen and he takes her hand. He quickly writes down something on her hand and drops it. ?That?s his address. Come by sometime tomorrow and you can check it out.?
?Is that okay with you Heero??
?Sure, but come sometime in the afternoon.?
?Okay. Well, I gotta go and help but the stuff away then. I?ll see you guys soon then.?
?Sakura! Amuro?s doing it again!?
?Coming! I hope you come again.? She turns around and walks toward the conflict.
?Bye!?
Sakura enters a shuttle in the nearby docks while a man with long blond hair waits in the hallway. ?You?re home very late Relena.?
?I?m sorry Zechs, but I met some people at the club and talked to them for a while and then there was a huge fight between Amuro and Ami. I guess I just lost track of time.?
?You know I want you home early. You have to be very careful.?
?I am being careful. Oh, there?s something else I want to talk to you about. I think I may have of found a place to call my own. One of the guys that I met is looking for someone to rent out a room. IT would make things a lot easier for traveling.?
?I don?t know about that, but we?ll talk about that later. And remember not to get so involved with young men Relena. You know what comes first.?
?Yes, I know. First comes the war, then my social life. But just think about letting me get a room away from here, okay??
?Sure, now you better get to bed, alright??
?Alright.?
