******************

It was the day of (obviously) Wufei and Sally’s anniversary. Wufei had been carefully planning it since last year’s disaster:

*FLASHBACK!*

Sally: *in very sexy outfit* Happy anniversary, Wufei!

Wufei: What do you want, onna?!

Sally: What! Idiot! *whacks Wufei* Selfish moronic bastard! *beats the shit out of Wufei* *walks off and changes into a very unsexy pair of flannel pajamas* You sleep on the couch tonight!

Wufei: What?! Onna! Didi I say something wrong? Injustice!

*FLASHBACK OVER**

Yes, Wufei had everything planned, and was in very good mood until . . .

Meiran: Tou’san! *glomps Wufei*

Wufei: *to himself* Shimatta! How do I get rid of the weaklings?! *out loud* I love you, too, onnako!

Meiran: Really?

Wufei: Yep.

Meiran: squeezes even harder*

Wufei: Can’t . . . Breath!

Meiran: Sorry Tou’san!

Wufei: could you hold on a second, I have to make a quick phone call.

Meiran: Okay. *leaves the room*

Wufei: *picks up phone, turns video option off, and dials Ashtear’s number*

Phoenix: Hello?

Wufei: I was wondering, would you mind taking Kin, Gin, Kasuka, Yowamushi, and Meiran for the night?

Phoenix: Sure Wufei. You got some surprise for Sally tonight?

Wufei: You could say that. *hangs up* Weaklings! *receives death glare from Sally* I mean, kids! *all the kids come running* You *points to the younger kids* are going to spend the night at Aunt Ashtear and Uncle Phoenix’s. *shoves $20 in Ling’s hand* you take that girlfriend of yours to the movies.

All kids: okay! *they all run off*

Meanwhile, all the other couples (Haruka and Michiru, Duet and Milliardo, Triage and Shale, Nova and Torrance, and Ariel and Shingo) just happened to go to the same theatre and just happened to see the same show as Ling and Sydney, and just happened to sit next to them.

Haruka: Hey Ling! Not training today?

Ling: I think Dad’s planning a surprise for mom. He sent everyone else to Aunt Ashtear’s.

Hentai Squad: Let’s go!

Everyone reluctantly follows. As they pass the Peacecraft/Yuy mansion (where all the grown-ups are visiting), Heero’s head pops out.

Heero: What are you doing, spawn?

Milliardo: We’re going to spy on Ling’s parents.

Duo: Really! Can we come?!

Everyone runs outside and follows the kids. They get to Ling’s house and little groups of them duck under windows and listen.

Wufei: Happy Anniversary . . . You remind me of Nataku.

Sally: Your Gundam?

Wufei: No; Nataku was my wife.

Sally: *smacks Wufei* You’ve been cheating on me!

Wufei: No! That’s not it!

*FLASH BACK!! This time it’s to A. C. 194 - Space colony A0206*

According to tradition, the heirs of the Long clan wed at age 14. The husband of Meilan, Long Zi-ling’s granddaughter, was to be Chang Wufei. Meilan, who prided herself on being the strongest of her clan, called herself "Nataku"[1] The Long family were a warrior clan, once rumored to be the strongest in Eurasia. However, they were driven out of their home in China by politicians who feared their power. They were exiled to the decrepit colony A0206, constructed almost two centuries ago.

We see a very pretty Chinese girl in a Chinese wedding dress

Meilan: *to Wufei, also in wedding clothing, but with glasses, and no ponytail* So . . . you’re the clever brat, back from boarding school?

Wufei: . . . You’re displeased?

Meilan: You have no right to succeed our noble clan.

Wufei: I see . . . well, this wasn’t my idea, either. *throws wedding clothes onto the floor and starts to walk out in a robe*

Zi-Ling: Wufei!

Wufei: GO TO HELL!

We see Wufei, sitting in a meadow of flowers and reading. A pretty birdy lands on his shoulder.

Meilan: Wufei! Huh . . . and you call yourself a man? I thought being my husband might change you a little, but I guess I was wrong.

Wufei: . . . . *continues reading*

Meilan: Wufei! Why don’t you practice martial arts like the others?

Wufei: Why . . . do you fight?

Meilan: To uphold Justice!

Wufei: Justice? Do you really think such a thing exists?

Meilan: Shall I show you? *gets into fighting stance*

Wufei: . . . . very well . . . *delivers powerful kick to Meilan’s head, while it starts raining*

Meilan: *panting, on the ground* H-how could this be . . . I’m the strongest in the clan . .

Wufei: Nataku, eh . . . You chose an arrogant name for yourself . . . Justice exists . . . only for one’s convenience. A battle grounded upon such a thing is pointless.

Meilan: *stands* I know that! But we still have to fight! That is our way!

Later, Wufei is talking to a mechanic building two gundams.

Mechanic: And you think you’ve won?

Wufei: Think? No, I did win! Justice does not exist.

Mechanic: No, you were unable to change Meilan. You merely forced your conclusion upon her. And you yourself do nothing . . . with your strength and skill you could even change the course of history.

Wufei: That doesn’t concern me. Nobody can change the course of history

Mechanic: Oh, yes, you’re smart. But those smarts will make you stand by and watch , while people suffer and die in this miserable era.

Wufei: Hmph. So that’s you’re building this piece of junk . . .

Mechanic: Hey, Wufei, this piece of junk needs a name, . . . any ideas?

Wufei: Shenlong. Nataku is too weak to be the Long clan’s guardian spirit

Sally: Are you telling me to murder colony A0206's inhabitants?

Septem: *on phone* No, I didn’t say that. But the colony is old and useless. So I’m telling you to disinfect it before we scrap it.

Sally: I’ll admit that 0206 is decrepit. However . . . in that case we should offer the inhabitants another colony . . . or at least renew the support systems! YO-448 is a biological weapon. As a doctor . . . no, as a human being, I ca not condone such an inhumane act!

Septem: There are dangerous elements at colony A0206. This is a necessary measure to protect the peace of the Earth Sphere. That’s all I have to say. Disinfect those rebellious germs! Do I make myself clear, Sanitation Squad Commander? *hangs up*

Sally: This is insane! There’s no way such a massacre could be justified!

Leo: The OZ advance team is going in!

This colony assault was the first time OZ and the Alliance were divided in their plans of action. General Septem of the Cosmo-arma wanted a quick resolution using biological weapons . . . meanwhile OZ leader Treize ordered a direct attack with mobile suits.

Leo: Our mobile suits should be enough for this run-down colony! Let’s settle this before the alliance does!

Leo 2: Roger!

They start firing, while Meilan Started climbing into a Gundam with a space suit.

Mechanic: Don’t be absurd! This is not something a woman can handle!

Meilan: I’m no longer a woman! I AM NATAKU!

She takes off, while the battle is moving closer and closer to Wufei’s meadow.

Meilan: Raah!! *to herself* The flowers are being trampled. We must fight outside . . . *she starts to back up, drawing the Leos back away from the meadow*

Wufei: STOP! You don’t have the strength to handle that suit! TURN BACK!

Meilan: Don’t order me around! This is a battle to uphold justice!

We see a batch of strange looking mobile suits.

Leo: A prototype Leo?! They still have those around?

Wufei: *to Meilan* STUPID WOMAN! *to himself* What’s the point of claiming Justice if you don’t have power?! *runs off to find the Gundam Shenlong*

Meilan: *starts coughing up blood* C-come on! I am JUSTICE!

Leo: to other Leos* Concentrate your fire! Just keep attacking!

Mechanic: Shenlong has no weapons . . .

Wufei: Perfect. I have no justice either.

Mechanic: Then why are you going?

Wufei: Because I won’t be the kind of coward who’d stand by and watch his wife die! *flies off into the battle* ?! What’s that?! Biological Weapons?! *to himself* The Alliance and OZ would go this far? *to Leos* You bastards!

Oz Member: The Colonel’s Leo has been destroyed! The Mission is a failure!

Sally: No . . . this is fine.

OZ member: huh?

Sally: Let General Septem know the mission was a success.

Oz member: But . . .

Sally: No one lives on this colony now . . . GOT IT?!

Oz member: U-understood.

Meilan: I-I won’t be defeated . . . I can’t lose to these bastards . . . *sees Wufei* ?! W-wufei . . .

Wufei: leave this to me!

Meilan: Wufei!

Wufei: H-hurry, go! A wife should listen to her husband!

Meilan: . . . OK . . .

Leo 2: *attacking Shenlong* Wh-what is this armor?!

Leo: Arh! Take it to close combat!

Wufei: Take this!

Leo: I can’t disgrace his excellency Treize . . . in a place like this!

Wufei: Treize . . . is that your leader’s name? *blows away the Leos* ! Out of Energy! *sees Meilan, injured and floating in just her space suit* Meilan! . . . *catches here in the gundam’s hands* Meilan!

Meilan: Wufei . . .

Wufei: Hang on, Meilan . . .

Meilan: M-my name is NATAKU . . .

Wufei: . . . That’s right. You Are Nataku. I’ll never call you Meilan again . . .

Meilan: G-give me some credit . . . I . . . protected your meadow.

Wufei: ! Y-you fool!

Meilan: So . . . please . . . Take me to that field of flowers . . .

Wufei carries Meilan to meadow.

Meilan: I-it’s so beautiful . . . I’ve never looked at flowers . . . this way before.

Wufei: *sets Meilan down, sits next to her*

Meilan: Wufei . . .

Wufei: What?

Meilan: I . . . was strong, wasn’t I? I was worthy as your wife, right . . . ?

Wufei: Yeah . . . You’re strong . . . Stronger than anyone.

Meilan: Naah . . . You’re much stronger . . . *leans head on Wufei’s shoulder, closes eyes*

Wufei: Hey, don’t get too friendly. *no response* Hey? Het! Open your eyes! You haven’t accepted me as you Husband yet! *realized that she’s dead* NATAKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*FLASHBACK OVER*

Wufei: She died in my arms . . . the wounds were too much . . . she was too weak . . .

Sally: *teary-eyed* Wufei . . . *kisses Wufei* Let’s go eat

They Start to get up to go to the table, when they hear something. They turn around to see Duo, Quatre, and the Hentai Squad crying their eyes out.

Duo: Wufei . . . that was so beautiful!

Wufei: Maxwell . . . . . . *starts kicking the shit out of Duo:

--------------------------------------------------

[1] Nataku: in Chinese mythology it is a being created in the Kunlun mountains, which took human form by combining human spiritual energy and blood. Nataku appears in legends as a hermit or a warrior.

Well there you go. Someone was actually crazy enough to marry Wufei before Sally.

Duo: *bloody, with his left arm in a sling* Yeah, creepy, huh?

Me: Yep.

Duo: Did you like the part at the end when I turned from international sex symbol to sensitive guy?

Me: Well, I personally always thought you were a sexy bitch!

Duo: Who doesn’t?
