Disclaimer: Nope.not mine, you're smart enough to figure that out.

She ran, ran as fast as her legs could carry her. How could they do this to her? How could they betray her? She slowed down, panting. Chest burning. Her breath came out in loud gasps. Too tired to do anything else, she collapsed. Before she blacked out all she remembered was that she was cold, so very cold, and wet. She remembered rain falling onto her face, or was it her tears? Then all was darkness.

He was walking down the streets, rain was pouring from the heavens. He was wet, but he didn't mind, it helped him think. He didn't notice the cold, it was relaxing, calming his nerves. Then he saw someone in the distance, a girl, she collapsed, falling onto the cold hard ground. He ran up to her, brushed away the hair covering her face, and he saw. "Relena?"

Relena woke up in an unfamiliar setting, where was she? This wasn't her room. Then she remembered, the cold, the dark. She sat up, where was she now? Who had brought her here? Then the door opened, she looked upon the face of her visitor. No, it couldn't be, could it? "Heero."

Heero walked in, shortly followed by Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Dorothy, Noin, Hilde, Catherine and Zechs.

"You're ok!" cried Hilde, hugging Relena. "Yeah, I'm fine," said Relena, "Where am I?" "You're at the circus," said Trowa. "But how did I get here?" asked Relena curiously. They all looked at each other and nodded. One by one, they left the room, each one giving her an encouraging smile. They all left until only Heero and Relena remained in the room. "So.what's the story?" Heero looked unsure of where to begin, he took a deep breath and started talking, revealing to her how she had ended up here. "Well it was raining, and I was out for a walk, I saw you collapse, you had blacked out, cold and wet. I wasn't sure if you were still alive, so I brought you here." "To the circus?" "Well, it was all over the news that you had run away, so I brought you here. Not many people would think to look in a circus for you." Anger welled up inside Relena, she had NOT run away, she had been chased out of her country, chased out by the people she had sought to protect, to bring peace to. She cried, letting out all her rage, she wept angrily into her hands, angry at the world. Angry with fate, for letting this happen.

Seeing Relena cry sent a sharp pain into his chest. He hesitantly put his arm around her. Relena looked up at Heero, suddenly feeling comforted. Her tears dried, and her sobs turned into soft sniffles. She curled up against Heero. Heero, who was not used to this, tensed up, but remained in the same position, to comfort Relena. He looked deep into Relena's eyes. "So why don't you tell me what really happened." Relena shook her head, "Maybe tomorrow, I'm tired." Heero smirked, "You just slept for three days straight!" Relena was surprised, "Oh! Oh well." She snuggled under the covers and was soon fast asleep.
