After Colony 199
The situation was looking very grim, the Gundams had been divided from one another, and they were quickly running out of ammo and energy to support their weapons. It had only been a few days ago when all of them had been visiting with one another, during the newfound peace after Meiriemeia's attack on the Earth Sphere Unified Nations. Now, they were on the verge of being killed. They year, after colony 199, the newfound peace had been shattered.

"Trowa!" Shikira yelled as she ran over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Well, hello to you too," Trowa said, slightly amused. Duo sighed as he slowly followed his sister.
"Hello Duo," Quatre said as he nodded slightly.
"Hey Quatre, Trowa," Duo said. By now Shikira had stepped away from Trowa and smiled.
"Hey! Are you four going to stand there and not say hi?" a voice asked sarcastically.
"Wufei, Heero…Relena?" Duo asked not sure why Relena was with Heero, but shrugged it off.
"It's been so long since we've all been together," Relena stated as she hugged Shikira lightly in a friendly manner.
"I know, its nice to be all here again," Shikira stated.
***
She slowly made her way through the battle ship, a gun clutched in her hand.
"Be careful Shikira," Trowa's voice told her over the communicators.
"Don't worry, I'm a Maxwell, I'll be…" she started to say but the communicator filled with static. The last thing Trowa and the other Gundam pilots heard had been a gunshot. But from who's gun, they could not be sure.

"Come on Trowa, smile" Shikira said as she poked him in the chest. He grabbed her finger and smiled slightly.
"See, that wasn't too hard," Shikira said. His smile widened as he scooped her up into his arms and walked over to the pond where the others were sitting at the shore, then dropped her into the water.
"Ack! Trowa!" she yelled as she stood up. Trowa and the others were all laughing at the scene. Shikira smirked and tackled Trowa, getting the front of his shirt wet. He was still laughing as he pressed his lips to hers.
***
"Trowa! Where are you going?!" Duo yelled.
"I'm going to get Shikira out of there. I told her I wasn't going to let her die!" Trowa responded as he exited Heavyarms. He quickly made his way to where Shikira should have been. A small puddle of blood was on the floor. He quickly followed the trail of blood and knelt beside her limp form. Her eyes were closed and her hair had come out of the braid and fell across her pale face. Trowa hugged her limp form close to him.
"Oh Shikira, I'm so sorry," he whispered.
***
"So you two have been rebuilding all of our Gundams?" Wufei asked.
"Yes, we're not too sure this newfound peace will actually last," Duo responded.
"It makes sense," Heero said.
"Hey, has anyone seen Trowa and Shikira?" Quatre asked.
"They're in the park," Relena told them.
***
"Trowa!? What's wrong?!" Quatre asked. Trowa didn't answer, he pressed his lips to her forehead.
"Goodbye Shikira, I will always love you," Trowa said as he grabbed the gun and pressed it to his chest, he then pressed his lips to her still ones.
***
"I promise you Shikira, I'll protect you, and be with you," Trowa told her. Shikira ran her hand down his chest and smiled as she kissed him softly.
"I know, that's why I love you so much," she whispered. Trowa smiled and hugged her close.
"I love you too Shikira, and after this we'll be together," he told her.
***
Trowa held the gun to his own chest and pressed his lips to her still ones. He was about to pull the trigger but dropped the gun when she weakly kissed him back, her hand grasping his weakly.
"T…Trowa?" she asked weakly.
"Shikira…you're alive," he stated quietly. He picked her up gently and frowned as she winced.
"I told you…I'm a Maxwell, it takes…a lot more…to kill me," she said as she forced a smile. He quickly carried her out, holding her close to him.
"Just for the record, I'm….the suicidal one…here," she told him as he carried her.
"I told you, I'd be with you," Trowa told her.
***
"Shikira! Trowa! Are you two okay?" Quatre asked them as Trowa carried Shikira onto the Peacemillion II.
"Yeah….we're okay…" Shikira said quietly. Duo looked at her worriedly, then smirked, she was a Maxwell, she was alive and would defiantly be fine. Trowa placed her on a medical bed and kissed her gently.
"I love you Shikira," he whispered.
"I know…I love you…too," she said quietly as he walked out of the room, in the palm of her hand Trowa had left a tiny golden ring.
The End.
