AUTHOR NOTE: Ok the most important thing I can get across to everyone This is an AU. I'm not basing it on Gundam Wing, I'm using the characters and changing their past slightly, they'll all keep the same personality but it's just different. They's been no war in this at all ok. So I don't want people reviewing saying, that's not what Duo's like or he doesn't have a Mum ect ect. I know but it's AU ok. Cool anyway sorry it's only short but quality not quanitity. Anyway Enjoy. Oh and yes I know the title sucks but if you can think of a better one then please tell me.

"You want me to go into the army you have to be kidding me, doing all of that? I don't think so" Duo Maxwell announced as he stared at Sister Helen in amazement at the news she had just broken to him. His mouth was hanging wide open and his violet eyes were at there widest.

"No Duo" she replied in her kind voice as she sat down on his bed "That's not it at all we don't want you to go into the army" Duo gave a sigh of relief and his shoulders slumped "But we do feel that you need a firmer hand to guide you now that you're 15. I can't guide you and disclipline you, we tried that remember and it didn't work so I'm afraid you'll have to go to military school" Duo's relieved expression disapeared into one of horror

"Come on this has to be a joke Sister Helen" he said the horror in his face reflecting in his voice "Do you have any idea what they'll do to me there? I'll have to wake up early and do constant training and they'll time everything, they'll probably even time how long it takes for me to go toilet and they'll make me cut my braid off" he flipped it over his shoulder and look at the long brown plait as if to comfort himself that it was still there. He looked back at her "Please just let me stay here, I really don't want to go there at all. I'll be good I promise and I'll listen to everything you say, I'll even go to all my lessons just let me stay here please" she stared at him along time a fondness in her grey eyes. Duo had been with them at the orphanage for such a long time now that she couldn't imagine him not being there but she knew it was for the best he needed to learn control if he was going to make a good citizen.

He had lived with his mother until he was 10, his father having died in a motorbike accident when Duo was only 3, then it had been just him and his mother, Although she had been a good mother she had doted on her only child, Perhaps because with his brown hair, perfect features and generally good looks he reminded him of his father, the only thing different being the fact that his dad had light brown eyes or maybe it was just the way she was, but she let him do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted and Duo had soon become spoilt under his mother's attention. When his mother died suddenly of Cancer when he was 10, she had left him at the orphanage since they had no other relatives. Although he had been wild at first they had to a certain extent managed to give him some discipline but it wasn't enough. It wasn't that Duo was a bad kid because they all admitted he wasn't, he was always happy and he was kind but it was just his wildness that made the decision. Now she shook her head at him and smiled softly.

"I'm sorry Duo" she said "But I'm afraid that you have to go. At your age it's high time you learn the basics to survival, who knows what God may bring to us tomorrow but you must be prepared" Duo's face dropped and a pout came to his lips

"I telling you I won't go Sister Helen I refuse point blank to go to military school"

"Now Duo you may enjoy it" he shook his head

"I'm not going you'll have to drag me there" he declared and she smiled serenely at him

"Have it your way Duo" he glared at her and walked out and she smiled the smile going from her face. The sooner they got him there the better.
