Walk on By

Disclaimer: I don't own GW or the song. "Walk on by" is owned by Britney
Spears who has a great voice but no life…

{I'm coming down with a
Heartache tonight
Only you can make it all right
If I can't be with you holding you tight
There won't be no more in your life}

Relena falls on her bed, staring up at her ceiling. Once again, Heero has gone on a
mission and didn't say goodbye. Just once she'd like him to say goodbye, to
ackowledge she was even there. She feels a tear fall down off her cheek, but she
can't hold them in anymore. She cries for him.

{Everywhere I turn
I see your face
Reminding me of a higher place
Every time you smile
Angels cry}

Heero hasn't been seen for two months. He has disappeared yet again, and no
word from him has everyone fearing the worst. Relena is walking down the street,
kicking snow up as she does so. She looks up across the street into pearly white
clouds, and could swear she sees angels crying for Heero's disappearnce. She
continues on her way, and bumps into someone.
"Sorry," she smiles. "Merry Christmas."
"Hnn," the man she hit answers. She realizes it's Heero. He just walks on by.

{Every time you walk on by
I'm not the only
Feeling Lonely
Every time you walk on by
I try to say something
But end up with nothing
Every time you walk on by
(Every time you walk on by)}

'Sorry, Relena,' Heero thinks, passing her by. 'I just don't want to hurt you.'
Relena sighs, shaking her head and pretends she's not hurt or lonely without him.
'One day, he'll realize we're meant to be,' she thinks, but wonders if that day will
ever come.

{I keep my cool
And pretend I'm not in
Every time you come too near
Yeah
I'm such a fool 'cuz
This Love is true
And
If I don't tell you
Someone else surely will}

Relena sees Heero again at Quatre's party and he ignores her completely. She gets
mad, and leaves the party, without saying goodbye in a cold fury.
"Fine, ignore me, Heero," she says bitterly. "If you don't think I love you, then
maybe someone else will."
Quatre places a hand on Heero's shoulder and says, "she loves you. Why can't
you love her back? We all know you do."

{Everywhere I turn
I see your face
Reminding me of a higher place
Every time you smile
Oooh - Angels cry
Every time you walk on by
I'm not the only
Feeling Lonely
Every time you walk on by}

Heero nods and says, "I do love her, but I can't…I'm afriad of hurting her."
Quatre replies, "Heero, we're all scared when it comes to love, but deep in our
hearts, we know what to do."
Heero nods again and goes after Relena.
Trowa and Quatre exchange a look and they both think, 'Relena's not the only
one lonely…'

{I try to say something
But end up with nothing
Every time you walk on by
Yeah
Feeling Lonely
Uhh
If I ever see you again
This crazy dance must find an end
I look at you and I promise myself
Ohhhh
I'm not the only
Feeling Lonely}

Heero finds Relena on the outside patio, looking out at the stars. They can still
hear the music from the party, and people laughing.
"Car to dance?" He asks her, and she nods, slightly flushed from the cool breeze.
They dance for a while and when the songs ends, neither moves.
'Will this dance end?' Relena thinks. 'Will he stop playing this game?'
Heero tries to say something to her about how he feels, but fails. He aburtly lets
go and stalks away, his shoulders hunched. Relena doesn't notice his jacket and a
single rose are left for her.

{Every time you walk on by
I try to say something
But end up with nothing
Every time you walk on by
I'm not the only
Feeling Lonely (Oh Oh Yeah)
Every time you walk on by (Yeah Yeah)
I try to say something
But end up with nothing}

She sees Heero again the next day, saying goodbye to Quatre for being a great
host. Relena watches him pass her at the doors, and they lock eyes for one moment
that seems to last forever. She hands him his jacket and the rose.
His eyes seem to soften, but he shakes his head and pushes them back at her.
"Keep it," he answers coolly. Relena can only watch as he walked out the door
and her life.
Again.

{Every time you walk on by
Yeah
Every time you walk on by
Ahh Oooh
Every time you walk on by yeah}
