A/N: As you may have already noticed, I am rewriting "Relena's Story" and will eventually delete the other one. Please be patient while I use my creative mind to further entertain you.
Thanks.
Here is the first chapter of the all new story.
Notes:
/bbbb/ is changes in POV.
iii is thoughts.
Main story is in Relena's POV unless otherwise noted.
Who knew that this would happen? That I would be kidnapped...Again! It didn't surprise me of course. Organizations that are against the Earth Sphere Unified Nations (ESUN)(1) wanted to "use" me for their purposes...whether it was to "persuade" the people to their side or just ransom me for no apparant reason.
The usual scenario was that I would get captured, the ransom was sent out, I was rescued by the gundam pilots, and I was safe, as well as the peace between the world and the colonies.
Who knew that this time would be different...Certainly not me. Who knew that the one time that I was not "saved" would be the event that would change my life forever.
Let me start off by introducing myself...
I am Relena Peacecraft, Vice Foreign Minister of the ESUN...Peace keeper between Earth and the colonies. And I hate that job with a passion. All I am is a mediator. A good for nothing mediator.
I was once known as Relena Dorlain but once my "father" died, I found out that I was actually the last in line of the Peacecraft family of the Sync Kingdom(2).
Whoop-de-do. Who knew that being a princess would be the worst thing ever. I hate having to solve other people's problems because everyone needs his or her hand held. Why can't people do things for themselves. Leave me alone!
Another thing that had happened was that I met Heero Yuy. Ever since that day, the day that I found him on the beach, my life has never been the same.
I met Heero Yuy and accidentally saw his gundam. He threatened to kill me. Of course, he never did. But I do wish that he completed that mission. How I wish that I was dead.
These last few years have been dreadful. Going to conventions, dances, ceremonies. Dancing with old men who pretend to know anything about what you are saying when all they want is a fresh piece of meat. Listening to people praise you for doing something none of them had the courage to do.
Then there are my friends. The gundam pilots. Duo, Wufei, Trowa, and Quatre. Each one special in their own way. I have been blessed to know them and to be considered their "friend." I do love them with all my heart.
The girls too. Sally, Hilde, Catherine, and Dorothy. I have everything that I could ever ask for. What more could a girl want.
My brother, Milliardo, and his wife, Lucretzia...I adore them both...especially when they are not being over protective.
Then again...there's Heero. I do love him with all my heart. He seems to be blind or something because he does not seem to understand my feelings towards him. Yet, he glares at anyone who tries to ask me out on a date.
I can't wait forever. He needs to hurry up and decide soon.
Anyways...here is my story.
Who knew that being a princess isn't everything a little girl dreams of.
"Do I have everything?" I ask myself, double checking to make sure that I have all of my necessities.
I was leaving on another trip to the colonies. To solve a dispute over resources or something like that. It seems that all I have to do is say the same thing over and over and that satisfies everyone. Why can't they just record my voice the first time and leave me be.
While I was going through my bag, there was a knock at my door.
"Come in," I called, looking up.
My door opened and in came Heero. He still took my breath away. With his toussled brown hair, blues jeans, and green tank top, he looked more gorgeous than anyone else I have ever seen.
"Are you ready to go?" he asked in his monotone voice.
Show a little emotion!
I nodded as I grabbed my suitcase and purse. I started walking towards my door.
"I have something to tell you," he said in his usual voice.
We both exited my room and walked downstairs.
"What is it?" I asked him.
Maybe he's going to say it! Maybe he's finally realized...
"I am resigning today," he blurted out.
I froze. I turned and faced him. He wouldn't look me in the eye.
"Wh-What?" I asked, in shock.
I couldn't believe what he just said.
But...but...why?
"I am resigning from the job as chief of your security," he repeated, "there is no need for me anymore. You are safe."
Saying that, he walked outside and down the sidewalk.
I stood there, frozen in shock. Tears welled up in my eyes.
How could he? How could he do this to me?
I fought back tears and glared at his retreating form.
"Go ahead!" I shouted, "I don't need you! I never did!"
He went into his car and drove off. I fell on my knees.
"I don't need you!" I cried, tears falling down my cheeks, "I don't need you!"
People were staring and I didn't care. Pagan helped me up and into my car. I didn't notice the tears still falling.
I was surprised at what I said because what my heart wanted to say was...
Please don't leave me. I need you. I love you so much!
I didn't have the courage to say those words...Just like he didn't have the courage to hear them.
"Are you alright, Miss Relena?" Pagan asked me once we arrived at the airport.
I nodded, saying nothing.
He opened the door and helped me out. Then he handed my bags to the attendant to put on the ship.
I flung my purse over my shoulder.
"Thanks, Pagan," I said, giving my old friend a hug.
"Be safe," he replied, "and call your brother when you arrive."
"I will," I smiled.
It seems all I could ever do was hide my pain and sadness behind a smile. No one really cares what I feel anyway.
I boarded the shuttle and waved out the window at Pagan. I watched as he drove off.
I sat in my seat as the shuttle took off.
Once we were in space, I looked out the window. Earth was so beautiful from space. My adopted father showed it to me before he died. I stared at it again, wondering why my life has gone downhill.
Heero! I can't live without you!
I was so lost in thought that I did not notice the person behind me or the object that was smashed into my head, rendering me unconscious.
A/N: There you have it. Here is the first "official" chapter of the new "Relena's Story." Hope you like it.
