[Start Tape]
Duo and I met a long time ago, it seems, and yet it was only two years ago, in the spring of AC 195, as I recall…
The camera follows Heero as he enters a garage with a small basket. He walks past several cars and a few mobile suits and various workers wave or nod to him as he passes and he returns their greetings amiably. As draws nearer to the apex of the building the camera angle switches and we see a large mobile suit that has sparks coming from behind it.
“Duo?” Heero calls out.
We were both in the same line of work back then. We were both Gundam pilots.
“Ah… to the left Hilde! The left!”
“Sorry Duo, I thought you meant the other left!”
Setting down the basket, Heero ducks as the missing arm of the mobile suit swings just over his head, and Duo lets out a colorful word as he glances out from around the suit. “Shit Hilde, you almost hit Heero!”
“Well it isn’t like I can see much of anything from up here! Why can’t we just work on this thing with it lying down?”
Duo groans and rolls his eyes, shaking his head as he looks at the cameraman and then at the clock. “Oi, Hilde it’s lunch time and I’ve got an appointment… if you want to we can lie the thing down when I get back.”
Hilde, hopping out of the crane housing, salutes Duo by tipping her cap, “Sure you do Duo, and I bet if I had the same sort of appointment, I’d be in a hurry to get to it too.”
Duo rolls his eyes again and motions to the cameraman. “When I said I had an appointment I meant it, Hilde!”
She blushes and shrugs, sliding down the railing on the ladder and moving off to her next line of business. Duo, meanwhile, slides down one of the ropes holding up his platform and lands easily on the ground. He walks over to Heero and embraces his fiancé.
When I first saw him, he shot me.
Obviously, things have changed a lot since then.
The two of them kiss, each raising a hand to block the view of the camera.
