AN:/ So I have been slacking on every thing but with slacking comes new and better thing... I guess. Now I was doing a project for school when I got fed up about it and started to look at my old stories and decided to revamp this one. And with time and a lot of new stories floating in my head I will fix this one.

Chapter 1

Finding the note and tranquilizers.

Ah, masks they are so useful at times and yet so annoying when it comes to trying to speak your mind around others that have seen the mask more then the real you. I mean you can only yell a persons name so many times before your voice goes horse and you can't speak for a week. They say that once a mask is placed it can only be excepted or destroyed.

That is what she needed.

Destruction.

Sweet destruction.

But what should she destroy.

But of course the masks. The masks that had filled her life with such pain and sorrow. Her brother had worn a mask but his was for a different reason. His was also so easy to break being a mask of substance not of glamour and show.

Now how to start. War was over and for a time it would stay peaceful even if she destroyed the masks. Others could take her duties for a while or maybe indefinite. So for a time she wouldn't be needed not that she was ever needed but some things were useless to argue with people.

A little change here and another there and she would not be as she was. But she was never what they expected in a person. And that is what would make her time the best because she was nothing. At least in their eyes.

Noin was one to see Relena at the beginning of each day and at least once an hour tell the end of the day. It was not common that she would see the princess at lunch but here it was one in the afternoon and still Noin had not seen Relena. She was on the war path and that path led her right to the princesses room.

Now her room if you must know is not decorated with posters of Heero or plastered with pink in mind. Now if Relena wasn't the person that was crowned queen in her teens then Noin might be worried about Relena's room. Not that it didn't seem to creep her out at times.

The room had a distinct pattern to it if any at all, the room had been divided in half and for some one that runs a kingdom, was hand painted by the princess her self. One side seemed to be the pit of space with full color view of the moon and earth at night. The other to be earth in the day with the sun at its height and on one wall that was divided had figures. Not just figures, misted figures that seemed to hide in prepetchel mist that seemed to sway with it own will.

Looking around, the bed was made but something still unsettled her. Going over to the desk that seemed to hide in the dark corner of the room she flipped through some papers before noticing the computer was still on, just in standby. Moving the mouse tell the screen came on a large note was plastered over the wallpaper and icons and was address to her.

Now she was starting to get the creeps.

Simply put it said to open the file named. Fallen. Opening the file the screen suddenly went blank before a screen of a little animated Relena popped up and started to dance. A song that Noin couldn't put the lyrics to started to play as the animated Relena stared to do a gig. After a few minutes and a few different dance styles the music stopped and the real Relena appeared. The real Relena.

"So it seems you have finally come to find me. Shows how much you think of me. Oh, don't worry Noin I'm not mad at you, never could be, anyway your wondering where I am, aren't you. Well that is privilege information and will not be released for some time. Now, don't start having kittens on me. I have a very good reason for leaving. Which I will explain once I figure out what they really are." The video of Relena explained but didn't help Noin with her newly required headache and the songs that seem to stick in her head on repeat.

"Now, Noin I will expect the castle to be in tact and the school not to be burned down when I return in say three months. Now, don't glare at me like that this is a pre-recording so there is no feed back to my location." Noin just had to glare at her for some reason.

"I will have my ear out on all events that happen. Oh I almost forgot, tell Millie that he can be ruler while I'm gone. Oh, one more thing the seniors have a skip day coming up so try not to get on their cases about it. That's all. Oh, wait one more thing take the limo out for a walk and don't stress so much you'll get wrinkles, like the one right in the middle of your fore head." With that said and done Noin had left the computer to look in the mirror for the wrinkle.

"Chill Noin you practically run the county even with me there. Millie will always be stressed so tranquilize him a few times. He should calm after the third one. And trust me even with them in his system he is still bound to do something stupid. Have fun, Noin." With that the program shut down and that left Noin wondering, should she drug Millardo before or after telling him the news.

Before.

Yes, before would be the best bet.

A woman sat in a yellow convertible laughing at the news that had just reach her. The sun setting in the far distance did nothing but lighten her heart even more. And it didn't help that the crashing of waves drowned out all sound. Stopping her laughter she stepped out of the car and went off to the edge of the cliff.

Watching the sun go down from the vantage point of a cliff with the ocean roaring below was a most exquisite view. "A new start. What should I do?" The woman asked the ocean. The sound of a violin could be heard mixing with the crashing waves on the cliff. "It seem I have a new direction to go."

Noin had earlier given Millardo some tea, the tea had relaxed him a lot, until she had told him that his little sister had gone missing and left him in charge of the kingdom. Through some miracle he had not gotten his gundam and went out looking for her. By destroying everything in his path as he went. He blamed it on the tranquilizers that were in his tea and the look Noin had given him. Damn that look.

The tranquilizers had by now passed through his system and now that he looked at the situation more carefully, he was to say the least surprised. His sister had not only gotten passed all the guards in the palace but had also not been seen on any of the cameras when making her escape. And for Christ sake he had Heero set it up for him. That boy had every inch of that place covered with cameras.

Picking up the phone in the office that was now his with Relena leaving the whole kingdom to him he pressed the speed dial for the Preventers. As the call was being sent through he drummed his fingers. When the call was finally picked up and he was patched through to Une quickly. And was placed on vid-phone for their convenient.

"Millardo what a pleasant surprise. What was it you wanted." There was a distinct sound of papers shifting in the back ground.

Millardo let out a sigh. It seemed the tranquilizers were still in his system if he was still doing that. "Its about Relena." His statement was calm too calm for her.

Looking away form what her attention had been previously on she looked up at him and made a shooing motion off screen. "What's wrong with Relena?"

"It seems she got some notion in her head to leave and now no one can find her. She left a very explicit note for Noin about having some time off away from the kingdom. But we can't find out how she left. The kingdom has been searched along with the school and all the grounds surrounding them." He paused thinking on how he could proceed with this.

"Une I would like for you to send, discretely send out a group, preferably the pilots to find her. Knowing her she will get word that Heero is looking for her and find him before they find her. By that time she shouldn't have gotten in to any trouble or any news of this getting out." He spoke with an unwavering tone but Une could tell that he was unsure of his actions.

Une nodded in agreement with him. "I'll have them put on this right away. No need to worry Millardo we will find her for you."

Her tone was reassuring and Millardo nodded to him self trying to convince himself that nothing should happen to his poor defenseless little sister. It was starting to help. "Thanks Une."

With that the line was cut and Millardo was left in the overly large and extravagant office that was for his sister. Looking around he found that the room had a feel that it could only have one use. To impress and over whelm a person to the point that they agree with anything you did. Thinking back it had been Relena who had decided on how the whole palace had been remodeled.

Could his sister have placed secret passageways in the walls just for this type of event. No his sister never looked that far ahead. She had been good with events in the war but she was a person that could handle any type of person. Not the type to think years ahead in planing or any strategy.

Now that is much better then the first one if I would say so. Now I know that it has been ages but sorry. And if sorry don't cut it just look at the change from the first version of this chapter you should notice a big and I will say it again big difference between the two.

Now Review for me my pretties.
