Through the Looking Glass

By Nanami Tendo


The sun peeks timidly out from over the horizon, bathing the world in
the soft warm golden glow of morning. And on the grounds of a hillside
Mansion, all is quiet. Inside the Mansion however, is a slightly 
different story. In one of the Lavish bedrooms, a girl named Zephyra is
stirring grogilly. Her long Honey blonde hair mussed up and her emerald
green eyes blinking sleepily at the dawn. But today, she is happy to be
awake, because this is her 17th birthday, and nothing could possibly 
ruin her mood this day. As she sits up, she hears the thumping of 
footsteps and then a loud banging on the door to her room. A boys voice
can be heard from the other side....

Boy: Zephyr! Zephyr wake up it's yer Birthday!!

Zephyra: Okay little brother, I'm up I'm up. Where's Millie and Haru?

Little Brother: Their bringing yer breakfast. Is it safe?

Zephyra: Yeah, It's safe, I'm dressed.

The Boy thrusts the door open, he's about 6 or 7 years old, with floppy
light blonde hair and blue eyes. He clambers onto the bed and gives
his sister a big hug. Soon he's joined by two more boys, who are the
exact same age as he is, these two look more like their sister, with 
honey blonde hair, but they also have blue eyes. One of them is carrying
a tray, the other has a large folded peice of cardboard with Macaroni
glued to it. The first boy sets the tray on Zephyra's lap, and then 
they both join their brother and sister on the bed. 

Zephyra: Hmmm...lets see here, Chocolate Chip cookies, With a side of 
Reces Peanut butter cups, and a glass of milk....Haru! You made me 
breakfast!*smiles* Thank you!

Haru: Hehe, and I didn't even eat any this time!

Zephyra: Oh, how thoughtful. And Millie, you made me the card right?

Millie: How did you know Zephyr?

Zephyra: Well, Only you would have thought to Make a Macaroni Butterfly!

Little Brother: And I got the gift! But ya can't have it till yer party
tonight.

Zephyra: Awwwww...don't I even get a hint?

Little Brother: Nope.

Zephyra: Not even a little one?

Little Brother: Uh-uh. 

Zephyra: Oh, you're no fun at all!! *starts tickling Little brother and
then stops when she sees her mother at the door* Oh Mom, I didn't see 
you there!

Mother: Boys, go downstairs and clean up your breakfast mess, I need 
to talk to your sister privately.

The boys all run out the door down the hall...and outside to play. 
Meanwhile Zephyra dresses and then sits down next to her mother.

Zephyra: What is it Mom? You look sad.

Mother: (sigh) You always did look just like your father...If it werent
for the hair and eyes that you got from me, well I...ahem..anyway You 
see, there's something I've been meaning to tell you...about..well...
your father..and uhmmm...geez, this isn't as easy as I thought it 
would be.

Zephyra: What are you talking about Mom?

Mother: You see...well...Your father is...not the man you think he is.

Zephyra: huh? I don't understand.

Mother: See, a long time ago, I was in love with a different man. His 
name..was Heero, Heero Yuy.

Zephyra: Oh yeah, I remember you talking about him. 

Mother: Right, and well, we were going to be married see, but...he,
well he...he died. There was an explosion durring a preventer misson,
and they never found him. It was right about that time..that I 
discovered I was pregnant. I was so alone, so lost and scared. Your 
father...well, he was very good to me durring that time, and eventually.
I came to love him. Not quite the same as the love I felt for Heero,
but...well, He was there for your birth and...

Zephyra: Hold it, are you saying he's NOT my father!!? 

Mother: Your real name is Zephyra Masartham Peacecraft Yuy. 

Zephyra: No. You...you're joking. This is a joke right? Why wouldn't 
you tell me something like this!? I mean...this is my identity we're
talking about here!!

Mother: I know it's hard to understand but...

Zephyra: No..no I just want to be alone right now. 

Not being able to think of anything else she could do, Zephyra runs out
the door before her Mother can protest. With tears in her eyes she runs
down to the gardens, the only place thats ever been able to sooth her
when she was sad. As she looses herself in the Hedge Maze, she wonders
what she could have done to deserve such a fate. As she reached the 
middle of the maze though, she began to realize that her mother hadn't
meant to hurt her and her father, biological or not, was still her
father. Of course, she was still upset that her parents had hiden such
a large peice of her identity from her, and as she sat there, she 
wondered what it would be like had her biological father not died...
as she did this, she fancied she saw a mirror form in the center of the
cobblestone area in the middle of the maze. Blinking, she looked again.
No, she wasn't daydreaming, there really was a mirror in middle of the
sitting area. Startled, She stood up and walked over to it, with a 
sniffle she reached out to touch the glass, and fell right through what
felt like empty space. 

Zephyra: *rubbing her hands and knees* Owww...what was that? 

As she turns around she sees nothing but the other end of the center
maze sitting area. No Mirror, nothing but cobblestones and granite 
benches. Confused, Zephyra shrugs and casts the incedent off as some
kind of weird daydream. As she looks up, she notices that it has grown 
quite late in the day and since she didn't want her Mother or Father
to worry about her. And so she wound her way through the maze, and then
headed up the hill toward the Mansion...
As she enters the great front door, she feels something isn't quite the
same, but she can't place it. There were no childrens voices, but then,
her brothers were probably still playing outside. She shivers with the
feeling.

Relena stood on the landing of her Mansion, looking down at the 
enterance hall. Later that night, there would be guests comming through
here for her twin boy's 17th birthday party, but for now, there was one
odd young girl walking around as if she lived here her whole life. 
Adled, Relena decended the staircase and aproached the stranger.

Zephyra looked up and was releaved to see her Mother strollilng towards
her, she looked preturbed, but Zephyra knew she would never be scolded 
on her birthday unless she had done something really out there, which 
she had not. She reached in and hugged her Mother, but the woman seemed
startled and pushed her away, confused, Zephyra looked at her Mom 
questioningly.

Zephyra: Mom, whats wrong? Don't you recognize me? I know I was upset..
but it's not like I died or something.

Relena: Uhmm...I don't know who you are miss. Are you lost? Do you 
need to use the phone?

Zephyra: Mom..come on. Thats not funny. You know me. I'm you daughter,
Zephyra...Mom?

Relena: Ze....no...no you can't be! But...you do look like...no, 
nonono...I must be working too hard...Ms, there's no way you can be 
who you say you are.

Zephyra: What!? Why not? 

Just then, two teenaged boys come tromping down the stairs, both with
honey blonde hair, one wearing glases. They stop and look back and
forth between their Mother and the strange girl.

Haruka: Hey Mom, who's the hottie?

Milliardo: Ahem, I think what 'Ruka is saying is We're wondering as to
the identity of our guest.

Haruka: Orr...I could have just wanted to know who the cute girl is.

Milliardo: *sweatdrop*

Relena: Well, I'm not too sure myself. She seems to be lost or 
something. But then, if she is who she claims to be...

Milliardo: What do you mean Mom?

Haruka: Well, I'll let you two figure it out. I'm goin to pick up
Shingo so we can hang out before you make me put on a suit.

Relena: Drive safe dear, and try not to get into trouble.

Haruka: Sure sure..C-ya. 

Haruka leaves, and Milliardo and Relena turn back to Zephyra, who seems
just as confused as they are. 

Relena: So..where did you come from?

Zephyra: I came from the hedge maze. I went down there after you told 
me that my father wasn't really my father and then I daydreamed about
this mirror but when I went to touch it I fell over. Next thing I know,
you're acting like you don't know me and there are strange boys 
wandering around. It's all...really scarey.

Relena: hmm..I see. Yes, you do seem traumatized. I'm very sorry, but
this isn't your world dear. You see, in this world, you're dead.

Zephyra: I'm..dead? 

Relena: Yes, you see, when I was pregnant...I was actually going to have
triplets.

Zephyra: But you did have triplets. 11 years after I was born, you had
Haruka, Milliardo, and Little Brother.

Relena: Errr...well, thats not the triplets I'm talking about. 17 years
ago today, I gave birth to two boys and a girl. The boys are named 
Haruka and Milliardo, the girl was named Zephyra. Unfortunately she 
died just a few days after I gave birth to her. 

Milliardo: Are you telling me we almost had a sister!? Wow...hmmm..
so if she's dead in this world..that means she must come from another
world!

Relena: Normally I'd ask if you've been paying too much attention to
Nova and his scifi novels..but in this case, you may be right Milliardo.

Zephyra: Wow..you're Millie!? In my world...you're only six...So, does
that mean that Little Brother is your age too?

Milliardo: Well uhmm...who exactly..is, Little Brother?

Zephyra: Why Shingo of course. *grin*

Milliardo: *Facefaults* I'm related...to HIM in your world!?

Zephyra: Why yes. *gasp* does that mean...that.....

Just as Zephyra is about to finish her thought, Heero comes into the 
enterance hall from one of the side doors.

Heero: Whats all the noise out here? I thought the party didn't start 
until 6pm. 

Zephyra swallows hard and tries to keep a cool head, but is distracted
by another question from Milliardo.

Milliardo: So uhmm..if 'Ruka and I are related to him there, who's our
father?

Zephyra: *mumbling out an answer and unable to move her gaze from
Heero* It's Quatre...Quatre Winner.

Everyone else facefaults.

Heero: What are you talking about girl!? Relena, what is she talking 
about??

Relena: Well, I really don't know, apparently she's from another world
and for some reason I'm married to Quatre there. I am married to him
right? I mean..I'm not cheating on Heero am I?

Zephyra: No, no Heero is dead. He died durring a preventer mission. And
I'm the only child Mother and Heero had togather. The rest, Shingo,
Haru, and Millie, were triplets born to Mom and Quatre. 

Heero: Okay, so in some alternate world, I'm dead, and Relena married..
Quatre!? *stops and thinks for a minute* wait...you're our kid? What
the heck kinda mixed up world is that!? 

Relena: Well, technically, she would have been our child in this 
world too. (sigh) Afterall, she looks just like you. And her name *is*
Zephyra. 

Heero: Relena, I thought you'd forgotten. You know, put it behind you.
In the past where it belongs. 

Relena: Oh Heero, of course I didn't forget. A Mother never forgets. 
But enough about that right? We don't need to dwell on such depressing
matters lets just figure out what to do with our uhmmm..guest.

Heero: What *can* we do?

Relena: Well we can't just put her out. Now Zephyra dear, there's 
plenty of room here so you can stay with us if you like. 

Zephyra: Thank you. I..feel so strange, looking at my Mothers face..and
yet not having her recognize me. What a thing to have happen on my 
Birthday!

Relena: Oh, is it your birthday today as well? Seems... you really 
are the missing triplet afterall. Don't worry, we'll make sure,
everything turns out alright for you. *hugs* Happy Birthday Zephyra.

The end --Hehe, just wait till Ruka finds out about this! Sorry I 
didn't continue on to the party but I got a little tired toward the 
end. Anyroad, if you like how this is going, e-mail me at:
JetLeonheart@aol.com
