"No, don’t. I love him!" Dorothy continued to struggle in her sleep.
Trowa ran into the room just in time to hear Dorothy scream, "I don’t want to go. I want to remember." He scooped her up like a baby and gently smoothed her hair in hopes of waking her calmly.
Dorothy’s blond eyelashes fluttered open to reveal terrified blue eyes. "Trowa," she muttered as she returned his embrace. "I am so sorry. I tried to remember. They took us and made us forget you guys. I’m sorry Trowa." Tears flooded her eyes as she spoke.
"Shh… there is nothing to be sorry for," Trowa said. "So now do you remember me?"
"Oh, yes. I remember the walks we took, the moments we shared, and those kisses," Dorothy said, blushing. "I also remember loving you."
Trowa’s emerald eyes studied her face for a second, as if trying to decide if she was telling the truth. Once he realized she was, he met her lips with his. Upon entrance Trowa nearly lost his ability to think, he hadn’t been able to see Dorothy’s love for almost four months now. His lips bruised hers and his tongue joined in a seductive dance with hers. She moaned and leaned in to Trowa more. Trowa’s hands moved over her back in hopes to bring her closer. Eventually Trowa slowly and reluctantly with drew.
"Dorothy," Trowa started after several minutes of holding Dorothy. "We need your help in getting the rest of the girls back and to destroy OZ."
"I’ll help in any way possible."
"Good. First off, can you tell me what we’re up against?"
***
"Okay, so you know what you’re going to do?" Heero asked.
"Act like I still don’t remember anyone, but I have to still try to convince the girls to remember," Dorothy responded
"Do you have any sort of idea how you could go about doing such a thing?" Wufei asked.
"I don’t know yet," she said. Suddenly her face lit up, "They made videos of them taking our memories. If I can get them and have the girls watch it then there is a chance that they will remember what happened."
"Good, and good-luck," Duo said. He along with Heero, Wufei, and Quatre left.
"Dorothy promise me you’ll be okay," Trowa said.
"I’ll try to the best of my ability," Dorothy said. Unnoticed to the world, Dorothy was scared extremely bad. Dorothy masked this quite well, but Trowa still saw and felt the fear pulse through her.
"Dorothy, your don’t have to do this."
"Trowa, you know as well as I do, that I must do this. If not for the rest of the girls and the guys, for Catherine."
"Yes, I suppose you’re right." Trowa gathered Dorothy in his arms again and planted a toe-curling kiss on her lips.
"Okay, if you promise to kiss like that when I get back, I’ll definitely live."
Trowa’s lips curved into what could be considered a smile. "I hope so!"
"Hey love birds, I hate to break you up, but Heero says the clock is ticking," Duo said popped his head in the room. He flashed a smile before he disappeared.
"I love you Trowa," Dorothy said with a sigh. She laid her head on his chest.
Trowa’s chin came to a rest on Dorothy’s head as he replied, "I love you too, Dorothy."

"It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes," Hilde sang. Her radio blared out the song as Hilde jogged on the treadmill. Suddenly, she quit singing and looked around the gym. Nobody was in there, but it felt like someone was starring at her.
"Whoever is in here, please move to where I can see you," Hilde said. She moved towards her gun, picked it up, and took the safety off. "I’ll give you to the count of three, or I shoot anything that moves. One… two…"
"Hilde." When Hilde turned to face the person who called out her name, her gun slipped from her hands.
"Oh my God. We thought you were dead," Hilde whispered.
Relena ran in with her gun drawn shouting, "Who the hell is in here…Dorothy?"
"Hi Relena," Dorothy said with her hands up.
Relena slowly started to put her gun away. "What? How?" She was at a loss for words.
"I was rescued."
"What’d we miss," Catherine said running in with Sally trailing close behind. Upon seeing Dorothy, Catherine ran up to her long lost friend and hugged her.
"I’m back."
"How did you get away?" Sally asked.
"I escaped from my holder."
"What happened?" Relena asked.
"Well, I was shot down and I must have pasted out because the next thing I knew, I was lying on a hospital bed. They interrogated me, but I didn’t tell them anything. I was then placed in a room until I escaped yesterday."
"Who were they?" Hilde inquired.
"The other gundam pilots," Dorothy said.
"What about the other gundam pilots? Dorothy you’re back."
"Hello, General Jackson," Dorothy said. Upon being asked, Dorothy repeated her story. She ended her story with, "They seemed to know me. I still have no idea who they are."
"Well, we kept your bed open in Catherine’s room, so go ahead and head up there. You can restart your training tomorrow," General Jackson said.
Dorothy followed Catherine to their room. "So, did you learn anything that could help our cause?" Catherine asked.
"Well, yes and no." Dorothy and Catherine were now in their room sitting on a bed. Catherine waited patiently for Dorothy to continue. "I guess I’ll tell you now, but you must promise me that you will tell no one!"
Catherine nodded. She would never go back on her word. "Okay," Dorothy started. "When I was with the gundam guys, I learned something. We know, or knew, them. We have been lied to by General Jackson."
"What do you mean? He has treated us fairly," Catherine stood to leave. Before she got out of reach, Dorothy grabbed Catherine’s arm.
"Hear me out before you make up your mind. He kidnapped us to use against the pilots. Jackson picked us because of how close we were to the boys. How could the pilots fight to the death with the women they love?"
"They love?" Catherine had major doubt. Dorothy never lied to her but there is a first for everything.
"I can find proof. Jackson made tapes when he caused our memories to become blocked. I intend to find them and show them to the others in hopes it will trigger their memories," Dorothy said.
"If we really lost our memories, how did you get yours back?"
"Trowa helped me." Dorothy continued, "Cathy you have to believe me."
"I don’t know. Let me think about it."
"Fine, but just so you know today at four, when Jackson is out for his run, I am going to his office to look for those tapes." Dorothy got up and left so Catherine could think.
***
Dorothy slipped into the dark office at two after four. Dressed in black, there was little chance she would be caught, but Dorothy made sure to stay low to the ground just in case. She made her way to the filing cabinet when there was a noise outside. Dorothy scurried behind the cabinet just before the door opened.
"Dorothy," the person whispered. "It’s me Hilde, I over heard your conversation with Cathy. I believe you and I want to help you."
"You really believe me?" Dorothy asked stepping out of the shadows.
"Yes, when I heard you talking I remembered that dream I had. Then I started thinking about how far back I can remember. I can’t remember anything before I worked for OZ with you girls."
"I’m glad you believe me." No sooner had she said that, Catherine slipped in the room.
"I have yet to decide if I believe you or not, but I’ll help you look for those tapes," Catherine stated.
The three girls rummaged through all the drawers before they came a crossed several tapes. Each tape was labeled with a girl’s name. Dorothy grabbed the tapes and slipped out of the office with Hilde and Catherine silently trailing behind her. Once they reached the common room, they put a video in the player. It was Catherine’s tape.
"No, don’t touch me," Catherine screamed. She twisted her body to escape General Jackson’s hold. "I will never forget Quatre, you can’t make me." Catherine’s foot connected with General Jackson’s lower abdomen.
"You bitch," he shouted as he slapped her.
"Oh my God," Catherine said. "I am so sorry for not believing you, Dorothy."
"It’s okay."
"Are all of the tapes like that?"
"I am not sure Hilde," Dorothy said. She grabbed another tape and put it in. The three girls watched in horror as they viewed the videos.
"We have to show Relena and Sally," Hilde said softly.
"I’ll go get them," Catherine stood up and walked out. When she came back Relena and Sally trailed behind her.
"What is so important, Bloom," Sally asked. She was busy meditating when Catherine interrupted with a story declaring she, Hilde, and Dorothy found something Sally needed to see.
"Watch the TV," Catherine replied.
After Relena and Sally’s videos were played, Relena glared at Catherine. "What does this have to do with anything?"
"We were kidnapped and forced to leave our old lives," Hilde insisted.
"Relena, Sally, please believe me," Dorothy pleaded.
"I believe you," Sally mumbled.
"I don’t. How do I know Dorothy told the truth? Hilde, Catherine, Sally, do any of you remember being kidnapped." When silence was her answer, Relena continued, "I thought so."
"What’s going on in here?" General Jackson demanded. He busted into Dorothy and Catherine’s room to find the other girls huddled around the TV. "How the hell did you get these?" Quickly he grabbed the tapes.
"I found them. You lied to us. You kidnapped us and you took us from our friends and family," Dorothy stated with fire in her eyes.
"You traitor," General Jackson yelled as he leveled his gun. "This is what happens to traitors."
Within the next three seconds, three things happened, a scream, a shot from a gun, and a body fell.
