A Picture from the Past

She was at her third meeting and was already getting a terrible headache. Finally when the meeting ended she had thirty minutes to herself and then had to go to yet another meeting. " Hey, Relena wait up!" She turned around to see Hilde running toward her. She and Hilde had become best friends after the war and usually hung out when they both had some free time.

"So... only have half an hour to yourself.... Relena, you've got to get a vacation soon or you'll go mad!"

Relena shook her head and sighed, "I do need a vacation but I can't take one soon because the colonies and the Earth are looking toward me to help them." Hilde felt sorry for her friend, she couldn't imagine how long she would stay sane, if she had to go to meetings with people who where twice her age and expecting her to do more about a problem then they could.

Her train of thought collapsed when she accidentally bumped into someone. She recognized who it was immediately.... Duo. Duo and her have been living together for about four years, and they couldn't help but tell everyone that they're getting married. Of course when they did, nobody was shocked.

"Hilde!! I've been looking everywhere for you!!! Come on, the ice-cream man's here!!" Without thinking she quickly ran out of room with Duo, leaving Relena standing there. (of course she was giggling... like everyone else who overheard the conversation.)

After realizing her time was slipping away. Relena quickly went toward the door and headed for her house. When she got there, all she felt like doing was sleeping. She went upstairs to where her room was and collapsed on her bed. Not even noticing two tall figures standing behind her. She was so tired she probably could sleep for days!! When she heard footsteps, she dug her face into her pillow.

"Duo!! Hilde!! I know that's you!! Stop playing games!!"

"But we want to play games... Ms. Relena."

She froze when they stopped. That wasn't Hilde or Duo's voice!! She took her face out of the pillow and looked at them. They wore green and Blue uniforms. She couldn't tell what their faces looked like. Her vision started to blur, she felt.... dizzy.

Zechs was working on a secret project when the phone rang. He picked it up to hear Noin's voice, which sounded worried.

"Zechs... don't freak out, because I know how protective you are of her. Well.... Relena's missing. Relena's neighbors said that they saw her walk into her house but didn't leave. Her car's still there though. We found broken glass, but nothing else. We're getting the Gundam pilots to work on this one. And We're trying to contact Heero, but I don't think we'll get through to him." He stood there frozen until he heard Noin hang up.

When Quatre and the others found out they were shocked too, but didn't freeze up like a statue like Zechs did.

Heero had heard the news from Duo. He and Duo became friends after the Mariemaya incident. (oh and Heero and Duo are friends they are not gay!!)

Heero knew that without Relena the peace would be crushed. He tried to stay away from her, because every time he was near her, he felt defenseless like she knew him better than he knew about himself. But it seemed that fate always brought them together. He hated the thought of Relena being a prisoner, so he agreed to help.

She woke up with a headache, but it was pitch black. Her arms and legs were chained up toward the wall, she could feel the cold stone against her fingers. She couldn't see anything though, soon after she realized she had a blindfold on. She started to hear footsteps coming toward her.

"Well.. It's about time our little princess woke up." It was a females voice.. and she also sensed something evil and manipulative about the tone of her voice.

"Don't worry little princess. We won't kill you, we just want to make sure you don't get in the way of our plans." After that sentence something hit her on the back of her neck and she fainted yet again.

~*~*~*~*

A young girl around the age of 18 woke up, she had no idea who she was or where she lived. She had brown hair, and blue eyes. And had an black shirt and a pair of blue jeans on. She felt a little light-headed and couldn't stand up strait, her vision wasn't that good either, so she didn't realize she walked into the middle of the road. A police care stopped _inches_ from her. They got out of the car angrier than ever.

"Who are you!! And what are you doing in the middle of the road!" one officer screamed in her ear. Her brain and body couldn't take it, she collapsed in the arms of the officer who had shown the hospitality of that of an Ogre.

The young girl awoke from her sleep, she was in the hospital. A doctor walked in the room. " Oh, so your awake... Didn't think you'd wake up for months." He went to some of the machines that she was attached to.

She looked a bit confused, What did he mean when he said //Didn't think you'd wake up for months.//

"What do you mean by that?" She asked just looking at him.

"Well, we found lots of drugs and alcohol in your blood stream. And you've hit you head, pretty hard I'd say." There was a silence until he spoke again. "By the way, what's your name?" She tried to think of the answer but couldn't. She started stuttering when she thought about it. " I.... I... I........ w... well... I.." He looked at her like she was crazy. "I.... I don't know.... Do I have a name?" She whispered to herself. Trying to remember if she did or didn't have a name, but she couldn't tell. It was like she was just born, full grown, no parents, no name, nothing.

"Hmm........ Sounds like amnesia." The doctor went out of the room for a moment. Then returned with a glass of cold water.

"Here, you'll need this. You'll be staying here until we find out who you are."

Heero and the others had been working hard when they finally found the culprits responsible for kidnapping her. They were a newly unorganized group called the 'Forest of fire.' They pinpointed on where they took Relena. It was an abandon warehouse in Switzerland. It took about ten minutes to get there. The security was really bad too, only two body guard were out on watch.

Heero looked puzzled. How could a organization like this possible take Relena that easily, but then again ,it is Relena. She cares too much on other people's protection but leaves herself open too many times.

The others quickly knocked out the two guards and he went searching for Relena. He found her tied up to a chair and had some bruises and cuts all around her, she was unconscious though. Heero quickly cut the rope and carried her to safety.

There was something different about her, did she change so much since he last saw her. He didn't know what it was, but something wasn't right...
