She was in a rush to get out of the office. She couldn't stand it anymore. She ran to the only place that gave her tranquility. She ran away to the beach. The woman made it there all out of breath. She stood there in the sand looking at the shining waters.
"Why?" She asked herself quietly. She was an important woman to the space colonies and the earth. She was Relena Peacecraft; even though she called herself Dorlain many still recognized her as a Peacecraft. She sat down on the sand and watched the waters. She thought to herself about many things in life. She didn't even notice a person who had quietly walked up to her.
"Relena?" He took a seat next to her on the sand. She looked to her left and saw Trowa, "Trowa what are you doing here?" Trowa replied, "I saw you leave the building very distraught looking. I thought I had better follow you." Relena looked at him plainly. Trowa and Relena looked at the shining waters for a moment longer.
Relena didn't mind Trowa's company. There was a quiet dignity in Trowa that Relena admired in him. Even though Relena knew him quite well she didn't know the real Trowa Barton. She didn't know what motivated him or why he was the way he was. Relena remained seated.
"So are you going to tell me what's wrong?" Relena continued to look at the sea and said, "Nothing really." Trowa looked at her with his usual mask of nothingness. "I don't believe you. Of all people to lie…" Relena looked at him and started to speak, "You're right Trowa I'm not too happy these days." Trowa looked at her waiting for her to continue.
"Trowa I don't want to go on anymore. I feel like everything I do is meaningless. Every conference I go to ever meeting every signing I think it's all in vain. Maybe its even there just to satisfy my ego. I make myself sick." Trowa sat there listening to her patiently. "Princess…You're actions are not in vain. You are important to this world." Relena looked at his bright green eyes, "I don't think so. My ideals…they don't mean anything unless someone believes in them. Right now I'm starting to question them."
"Relena you don't need to question yourself. I think you are one of the strongest women I know. As a fighter and as a woman." Trowa said. "You really think that?" Relena asked.
"I know you have an inner strength I can only wish for." Relena turned her head and looked at him in shock. Trowa continued to talk, "I am a nameless soldier. Ever since I could remember I've been fighting. With each battle I fight I've lost something. I know that my life has no meaning anymore. But I continue to fight because I want to protect the people I love. Even though Heavyarms has left me, I still continue to fight." Relena smiled lightly at him. "I understand Trowa. Unlike you I have no one to protect. I have only myself in this empty world." Relena said.
"No Princess you have someone to protect. You have all the soldiers of the old world to protect and also the future." Relena looked at him with a confused look on his face. "What I mean is...you don't want the soldiers of the past to fight anymore. You don't want the future to fight. You do have someone to protect."
Relena looked at him, "You are right Trowa. I am glad I can count on you." Trowa looked at her and nodded. "I want to thank you for listening to my troubles." Trowa said, "Don't mention it. It was my pleasure." Relena smiled at him. "I guess I had better get going now."
Trowa gestured for her to stay seated. "Don't go yet, let's stay a while." Relena looked at him, "All right."
