My first serious really romancy story.
Usual disclaimers apply.
Read and review please, flames accepted
Sally and WuFei waited for their boss
to get off the phone. She was supposed to explain the part of security
for the ESUN conferences they would handle. WuFei couldn't help but notice
Sally smiling at him the whole time. There she goes again with that
hideous and annoying smile. Women are all awful creatures, but she takes
the cake. Why does she always hang around me like a love sick puppy? Doesn't
she get that she drives me up a wall? He just couldn't take it any
more," Stop smiling so much, Woman!"
"Looks like I hung up in time to stop
another fight," said Lady Une. "Your mission is to take turns watching
the most important delegate at the meeting: the Vice Foreign Minister,
Relena Darlian. Sally will take during the day and WuFei you have night
detail. You will update the situation every hour. Recognition names will
be Cinderella for Relena, Fairy Godmother for Sally, Castle for Homebase,
and let me see how 'bout Prince Charming?."
"More like Prince-not-so-Charming,"
remarked Sally. "He wouldn't be nice to his mother."
WuFei growled then spoke, "The weak battle with words,
but they are not worth fighting."
"Break it up," Lady Une broke in as
she usually did when they fought. "I almost forgot, when you're not keeping
tabs on Miss Darlian you'll be assigned to Mr. Quatre Winner. Any questions?"
"When do we change shifts?" Sally
asked at the same time as WuFei. He growled again, only louder this time.
"That'll be at seven am and seven
pm. That gives you twelve hours on each. You may sleep when they're actually
at the conferences. I believe Duo, Trowa, and Heero were hired for security
there. Oh yeah, Quatre's codename is King. Anything else?"..."Dismissed."

"So did you finish your opening speech
yet, Relena?" asked Quatre slightly worried about his own speech.
"Yes, thank you," Relena was still
caught up in formalities even though they were good friends. "Oops, there
I go being diplomatic and polite again." She was so stressed about her
plans for the next night that she wasn't paying any attention to what was
going on, but a glance from him jerked her back into reality.
"It's okay. What's the main part of
your spee... Hang on let's talk about something besides politics," he said
wondering what was wrong. "Have you heard from Heero?"
"Umm...no, but he is on the guard
duty at the talks," she said frown deepening. "Perhaps I will speak to
him there, or maybe he'll try to kill me again."
Quatre could tell that he had picked a bad subject. Is
she upset that Heero always ignores her? How will she react when she hears
the news about him going out with that girl Silvia Noventa, Marshall Noventa's
grandaughter he spoke to during the period after the Marshall's shuttle
was destroyed? "How are things with your brother, do you know?"
"No, I haven't heard from him or Miss
Noin," Relena became sadder with every word she spoke.
No one cares about my feelings on anything, not even Milliardo.

"Are you going to the conferences,
Zechs?" questioned Noin. She knew he should but did he?
He seemed to be in deep thought before
he answered, "I think it would be nice to see Relena again face to face.
I heard it rumored all our old war time aquaintances will be there as well."
He suddenly turned graver than ever when a thought entered his mind, What
about the situation with my sister and that pilot? I'll be mad if they're
in love, but I'll kill him if he broke her heart!
"If your worrying about Relena and
Heero everything will be fine," she could read his face nowadays. Without
the old veil, it was very easy to do so. She knew in her heart that he
was always thinking of his sister, even if Relena was a strong person who
normally contained her emotions.

Heero felt wonderful around Silvia,
she made him laugh and smile; but the kisses were the best. They were engaged
in such activity when the phone rang.
"Hello," said Silvia answering her
telephone. "This is Silvia Noventa speaking....Oh hi....No it's all right."
She handed the phone to Heero with a look he knew meant it's Duo again.
"What is it now?....Alright I'll be
there in an hour....Bye." He hung up and told her the commotion was that
the G-pilots had to meet some of the delegates early along with Preventers.
"It won't take too long, I hope."
"I guess I'll see you later. I love
you"
"Same here."
As Heero drove his thoughts went to
his immpending meeting with her. What am I going to do? She will
hate me probably after blowing her of in the bunker when I woke up. Oh
well.
When Heero finally arrived
at the conference he saw he was the last one there. He search the crowd
for Duo, but fate made his gaze meet Relena's. She seemed rooted in place;
then she silently approached. There they stood staring. Neither dared speak,
yet somehow they read things in the others face.
Alright it was short, but if I don't have readers what
is the use. Does it sound interesting or no? R&R!
