Shooting Stars pt. 1
The Party
I sadly do not own Gundam Wing, its characters or its places. I have nothing to do with it except that I am a large fan. I am not getting paid at all, even though that's something I wish I was!!
Relena sighed, and stared out her balcony window. The rain lashed down it in its little pitter-patter sounds, a noticeable sigh came from Relena. Wasn't it just like this when Heero left? Yup, and this Princess didn't care anymore.
"How many times did he not talk to me? Not respond when I said I loved him?" She asked her visible reflection.
There was a knock on Relena's door and Quatre Winner stepped in. "You've been crying again, haven't you?"
He had spied the large pile of tissues on her bed, spilling onto the floor.
Relena sighed and turned around with a smile on her face. "Yea, but I don't care anymore! And you want to know why?"
Quatre stared politely at her, shaking his head. "Because Heero's a jerk, and I have better things to do in my life than think about him!" But even as she said it, her heart twisted.
"I'm glad you're feeling better, Miss Relena," Quatre smiled, and left the room, after placing a steaming mug of hot chocolate down on her bedside table. As soon as Quatre was out of the door, Relena turned and flung herself down on the bed, and sobbed.
Poor Relena, Quatre thought, leaning against the oak door. Her sobs echoed in the dimly lit hallway. Who'd have thought Heero would've had this much of an effect on you? He walked back to his room, and when he opened the door, Trowa looked up, and said, "She's still crying, isn't she?"
"Yes," Quatre said, sighing, and ran a hand over his face. "If only Heero would let that huge ego of his disappear, they'd both be happy."
"Good luck with that," said Wu Fei's voice, coming from the small single bed in the corner. "Heero's head is too big since his pride is up. He's the Perfect Soldier, remember?"
"Yeah, but if Heero's not going to respond to the letter we sent him, then I'm personally going to go to L2 and get him," Duo responded, shaking his head. "I'm going to check on Lena, k? She needs a shoulder to cry on."
Trowa, Quatre and Wu Fei nodded, and Duo quietly knocked on Relena's door. "Lena? Can I come in?" He asked.
"I'm sorry, Duo, just not right now," came Relena's muffled reply. "I'm…" Her voice died out, and Duo nodded.
"Sure thing, then, Lena. 'Night," Duo said, and turned. "Heero…this is all your fault."
"Mr. Yuy?" A man wearing a post office suit asked. "You have a letter from Earth."
"Hnn?" Heero asked, and nodded, taking the letter. He opened it and read the letter, noticing that Duo wrote it.
hey, Heero!
How's it going, Buddy? Anyway, you gotta come back down here, bud, we've got some major problems. One, Relena almost got kidnapped a while ago, but we (Trowa, Quatre and Wu-man {Wu-man is scratched out, and Wu Fei is written neatly in its place}) stopped the dude. He's out of jail, and we think he might want to come back and get Relena again.
Two, Relena's birthday is coming up, and lately her work has been hitting the roof…we offered to help, butt once we saw the stuff we backed off. Anyway, she's been having these nightmares…yeah, I know…but they're about you and stuff like that. I was with her one night, watching over her when she screamed and yelled out, "Heero! No! Don't kill him!" She told me her dream once she woke up, and man, even I was spooked.
Hope ya come, or else Wu-man…Ooops, Wu Fei is going to personally come up to ya and bring you back down here.
'bye!
Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Winner and Wu Fei Chang
Hmm. Relena having nightmares was kind of weird, but her almost getting kidnapped was even worse. Heero looked at the return address and saw that it was from the Sank Kingdom. He then went to a transmission window to talk to Duo.
"Yo, Duo here," Duo's voice said, as the grinning Gundam Pilot's face broke into a smile when he realized who was calling.
"Hey, Duo."
"Heero! Glad you called…"
"Heero? Let me talk to him!" Wu Fei's voice said, and soon, his face was seen pushing Duo out of the screen's range. "Heero, you baka! Get down here right now! There's a ticket waiting for you at the terminal. NOW!"
Then the screen went black and the transmission was over.
************
"Happy birthday, Miss Relena," people said, as Relena made her way down the marble stairs.
"Thank you," Relena said, and then addressed the crowd. "Thank you very much for coming to my 18th birthday party. It's a pleasure to me that all of you were able to come tonight. Please, enjoy yourselves tonight."
Relena smiled and continued down the stairs.
"Hey, Lena, lookin' good!" Duo whistled when they approached her. Relena was dressed in a beautiful midnight blue, tight-fitting dress. There was a slip going halfway up her thigh, and there were no straps. She wore long, white gloves that went past her elbows, and her hair hung down around her shoulders. It was coiled, and wavy. She wore star-stud earrings ands around her neck and a choker (for the dress, look at a pic of Anastasia in the animated movie…^_^).
"Thanks, Duo," Relena smiled, and looked around. "The security's pretty tight, tonight, isn't it?"
They all looked around, and Trowa said, "that man, you know? He's out of jail."
"Hmm," Relena replied. "So…Jack's out."
"Er—Jack?" Wu Fei asked, brows raised.
"Yes," Relena said, staring out into space. "I know him. he was a good friend of mine before the war and I met you guys."
There was an uncomfortable silence. "Care to dance, Miss Relena?" Quatre asked, nervously, breaking the tenseness.
"Sure," Relena replied, and together they walked onto the dance floor. They waltzed around it, looking like a couple, laughing and talking. They caught everyone's attention, even someone who was watching from above, on an overhang.
Duo and Trowa were staring a the man, when Duo said sharply, "Look who showed up, Wu-man," and pointed to the man.
"How many times"—but curiousity got the better of him as he looked up to see Heero Yuy watching the Princess dance with one of his friends.
"So. I see he showed up. He is not a weakling then after all," Wu Fei finished.
Once the song ended, people clapped and Quatre led Relena over to wear the other pilots were. Duo noticed that Heero was watching them come over.
"You guys, Heero's gonna see us, so don't look up, okay? We don't want him to know that we know he's here," Duo said, smiling.
"You have a plan?" Trowa asked, smiling under his long bangs (sooo gorgeous…hee hee ^_~)
"I think I have a good one coming," Duo responded.
Relena smiled politely at Quatre, but still, dancing with him was not like dancing with Heero…
Stop it, she chided herself. You're not suppose to think about him that way.
They walked over to the other pilots and began talking. Trowa went to get them some drinks, and Wu Fei was talking about making sure everything was going fine.
"So, why is this Jack-dude so obsessed in our Relena?" Duo asked, playfully, smiling.
"Jealously," Quatre suggested, smiling. "It's the most understandable."
"Stop it you guys, you're making me blush," Relena butt it, blushing crimson.
Another song that Relena loved to waltz to came on, and she sighed.
"Can I have this dance?" a male voice behind her asked.
"Sorry, pal, Relena's taken for the next two songs by us," Duo said, grinning, his eyes closed as he tilted his head. "Come on, Princess, you promised me one." And Duo lead her onto the floor.
Quatre was about to ask the man, "So, Heero, what's the big deal with coming so late?" When he realized who the man was.
Broad shouldered, wide-chest, tall. He was the same man Duo had shot the night he tried to kidnap Relena. He even had the bandage still on his cheek where Wu Fei's bullet missed his head. Jack's eyes traveled from the laughing Relena to the frightened Quatre watching the man.
"Do I know you?" He asked, studying him. Quatre choked out a "no" and rushed to find Trowa and Wu Fei. He had to tell him Jack got in the party.
"…So, that's what happened," Duo finished, grinning, as he spun Relena.
Relena laughed and asked, "didn't you get hurt?" he had just finished telling her a funny story about him and Heero having to spend a night together before a mission in a motel.
"Nope. Heero pulls my braid one to many"— Duo broke off as someone screamed. They turned around to see Jack pulling out a gun and point it straight at Duo and Relena.
"Step away from Relena if you want her to live."
OOH! Part one of Shooting Stars done! YEA!
Just how did Jack get in? What does he want with Relena? Will Heero save her? And why is Heero here? Find out, on the next part of Shooting Stars 2: The Secrets Out!
