A fateful meeting

"I hate these things." She sighed, staring at her reflection in the mirror. The girl was in a floor length midnight blue dress that set off her dark blue eyes. Her long black hair was loose, except for the single diamond barrette above her temple. Her pale skin seemed even more so, and she had to admit she was beautiful. " Fat lot of good that's done me." She thought.

She had to go to lots of these formal affairs with her father. She went to balls, parties, masques, anywhere where there were rich boys that could be a suitor. " What if I don't want to be married off ?" she asked the mirror. She waited for a response, although she knew there would be none. She sighed unhappily once more.

"Raven !" her stepmother Iris, called her from downstairs. "Are you ready yet ?" " No." she whispered. She was still tired from last night. " Yes !" she called down to the woman that posed as family, her stepmother. " No one could possibly have a worse life, hidden under such a rich and elegant lifestyle." She said, and with that she left for another life in hell.

" Quatre are you ready." Relena asked, through the door. " Yeah except for this tie." Quatre was struggling to tie it without choking Heero to death. " You can come in if you want." Relena opened the door to find a very well dressed Heero and Quatre. Dorothy was right behind her. Relena smiled softly, and came over to relieve Quatre of the task. Dorothy took one look at Relena with her arms around Heero and started laughing. " Oh, Relena-sama, you two look perfect together." She said , masking her sarcasm well. She truly disliked Heero and thought Relena deserve better. " But then again I deserve better than Quatre and I'm not leaving him." She thought. Relena finished with Heero and turned to Quatre. " Mr. Winner, you've been going to these thing since you were a child like me, I expected you of all people to be able to put on a tie. " Here let me tie yours." " No!" Dorothy yelled, and put herself between them. " Relena-sama, let me do it, she said. She quickly put on Quatre's tie, and they were ready to go.

The boys were in standard tuxedos, and Dorothy was in a red silk spaghetti strap dress that hugged her curves like a second skin all the way to the floor. Relena was in a deep blue dress in a similar design except hers had rhinestones along the neckline. She was also wearing a diamond necklace. " Let's go!" Dorothy shouted. With that they headed for the limo. Fortunately for the boys it was neither Relena's pink one or Dorothy's gold. It was instead a black one, inside Zechs, Noin, and other dignitaries waited for them.

" God I hate these things." Relena said, as they walked up they walked down the front steps. " Amen." Quatre said. As Dorothy quickly tried to change Relena's mind ranting on how they were good for the country and they could be fun.

Life sucks, get over it, That was practically there motto now and days. They just had to bite the bullet and get on with it. As long as they had people to love, and People loved them they could handle it. But as they arrived at the ball, Quatre noticed a girl with raven black hair in a dress a darker shade of blue than Relena's. She was beautiful, yes, but so was every other girl at the ball. No, What caught his attention was that she was alone.

Well here it was the first part. Oh it was written by ayanami chan.
