Relena Darlian peered down the long, dark hall in front of her. She started walking while she thought. 'If only Heero were here.' She did this more often than usual. She often thought about herself and Heero alone, but it usually ended with the sound of a knock on her door and a questioning, "Miss? Miss Relena?" behind it. She would answer with a sweet (and often practiced), "Yes, thank you. I'm awake.", while inside her mind she would beckon the dream back to her, but it never came; in either dream or reality.

Down the hall was a small door with light around the edges. She opened it slowly, making sure that no one on the other side would be drawn to the attention of it opening.

"I must stay calm. Right now I'm Queen Relena Peacecraft." She tugged lightly on the edge of her dress to remove the creases that had formed from walking from her room to the Stateroom. The door was opened in a formal manner, and the loud chatter of Statesmen and important others was immediately stopped.


"Her Majesty, Queen Relena."


Clapping was in an uproar as she approached a podium. Relena cleared her throat, and looked up into the empty balcony.


"Darn. He isn't here."


"Hello. I am here tonight to present the issue brought before me about destroying one of the colonies. I, as a pacifist, believe that no civilian, or person, for that matter, should get left behind or hurt during this process..."


In the balcony, a young man in uniform stood guarding his post. He looked around one of the massive pillars, and leaned on the rail. "I don't think I've killed her yet. When should I?"


Relena looked up once again to the balcony. She saw the person she was hoping to see. A bright and gleaming smile danced upon her lips. 'Thank you, Heero.' she thought as she left the podium.


She excused herself from the debate and headed back to her room. She looked about, through open doors, and around corners. He wasn't there. 'Relena, you've fooled yourself again. He wasn't on the balcony. That was just some bell-hop enjoying the debate. Why would Heero be here anyway? He wants to kill you. Doesn't that mean something to you?'

She entered her room silently, being sure that no one was there, but she heard a noise, like someone making something, but fumbling. She headed for the small kitchen, unawares to what or who she might stumble on. She saw a tall, lean figure, leaning on the counter, trying to stir some tea without making noise.


"Heero!" Relena ran up to him, then backed away at the expressionless face that looked back at her. "What's wrong?" The young man just looked at her.


"You know who I am. That's a problem." He looked deep into her eyes. 'If I could only...' Heero reached out to her in his mind, but quickly shook it off.


"So you want to kill me?"


"I will."


"Why?"


"I told you. You saw my face."


"But..."


Relena's attempt to get information from him failed. She was face-to-face with Heero's pistol yet again.


"Why don't you kill me now? I mean, you don't care about anyone but yourself anyway.

What would it matter to you if you killed me?"


"It wouldn't matter."


"I know why you are doing this... waiting so long to try to kill me... you love-"


Suddenly she was cut off by the sound of a gunshot. It went right past her head, through the wall.


"Goodbye, Queen Relena."


Heero climbed out the window of her room, being careful not to be seen. Relena watched him run away from the mansion, holding his arm.


"Heero." she said with a deep sigh. "Come back. You haven't killed me yet."
