"It's been ten years! Ten years since we've met, and he's still clueless!" Relena shouts within the confines of her luxurious bathroom. The now 25-year-old Vice Foreign Minister's bodyguard, Heero Yuy, is downstairs, but Relena's gotten in to the habit of blasting techno music while bathing to help calm her nerves, a ritual that the Perfect Soldier neither cared for nor understood. How can you relax with pulse pounding music loud enough for the deaf to hear? In the living room of Relena's spacious house, Heero hears the music and pauses from his typing to quirk an eyebrow, and then continues with his work, still keeping an eye on the security cameras set up around the bathroom. Back upstairs; lounging in the bathtub, one pedicured foot resting along the side of the tub, Relena is fuming while talking to herself, thinking of the girls' night out the night before…
Relena, Hilde Schbeiker-Maxwell, Catherine Bloom, Dorothy Catalonia, and Sally Po sit in Dorothy's massive living room taking shots of tequila. No one is drunk yet, but they are definitely getting there… "I can't believe you and Duo are married Hilde!" Dorothy falls back on a plush floor pillow in a huff. Hilde beams and looks at her rind with watery eyes, "I can't believe it either…it took him long enough!" The girls laugh, and Relena shakes her head, "I can't believe it'll be your two-year anniversary tomorrow. You're married, even though Duo should have married you seven years ago! But, we don't even have boyfriends…" Dorothy rolls her eyes, "Relena you act like we're pathetic and alone…" Sally looks up in confusion, "We're not?" She ducks when Dorothy throws a pillow at her head, "No! Sally, you're a war hero and a high-ranking officer. The only ranked higher is Lady Une! Catherine is part OWNER of the circus on L3, and STILL the headliner of the shows! I'm on the board of directors representing three of the original colonies, and Relena you're the most influential politician in the world AND space, and you have been before age 18. You're the ex-fucking queen of the world!" Hilde snorts to keep from laughing, "No more tequila for you Dorothy. Girls, we're only in our twenties, and guys are all over you every time we go out!" A long pause is the only response Hilde receives. "Oh I get it! You all think you're pathetic because the men you want are dumbasses…"
Relena sinks her head under the cooling bath water at the flashback. When she resurfaces, she's staring into a pair of Prussian blue eyes. "You've been in there long enough." Relena's heart jumps at Heero's sudden appearance, but she's decided to never show emotion to the perfect soldier anymore. Not after the news she found out yesterday, the reason for the girls' night. "Heero, I don't think Sylvia would take too kindly to her boyfriend staring at another naked woman," Relena says evenly. Heero's eyes widen the slightest bit, long enough for Relena to catch, and then it's gone, being replaced with a hard glare, "I'm doing my job." "And your job entails rudely coming in while I'm bathing just so I won't wrinkle?" The Perfect Soldier's glare gets darker as Relena stretches both legs out of the water and lays them across the side of the tub. "You've been in here for three hours." At this, Relena notices that Heero turned her music off. She sits up, and when Heero averts his eyes with a very faint blush, she looks down and realizes the bubbles are almost all gone. She rolls her eyes, hiding her own blush, "Well as you can see, Mr. Yuy, I'm fine. I just like having some privacy, you know that," Relena says as she climbs out of the tub, wraps a towel around herself, and walks past Heero. She stands in front of him until he meets her gaze, "Goodnight Heero, and tell Sylvia I said hello." With that she disappears into her walk-in closet to get ready for bed.
