AN: This is totally AU compared with my other epic idea. I prefer to go with the other plot, but my friend Rita convinced me to write a more sappish and unknowing type of ficcie thingy. So, read and enjoy!

I
left calculus feeling like a dried sponge.
I
saw Erik sitting near the new student.
/
What is his name? That's right, Heero Yuy. / I thought contemptuously.
"
Erik!" He looked from his books and smiled at me, then waved for me to come
over.
The
new boy, who had actually talking with Erik, put his things away and left.
"
Is something wrong with him?" I asked, indicating the retreating figure.
"
No, he is just really quiet."
"
Look, my father sent me another letter!" I almost shouted. I had been waiting
to read the letter since 2nd period when it had been delivered. Erik gave me
one of his 'you are so odd' looks, then began reading.
Elena,
It
seems to me that you are enjoying yourself thoroughly at your new school. I
trust that you are conducting yourself with the natural grace and elegance you
posses. I wish to know more about your friend Erik. From your description, he
appears to be a gallant and friendly person. I did promise that I would see at
Lake Victoria and I intend to be a man of my word. Already, my new assistant,
one Lady Une, has cleared my schedule that day so that I may see you.
Your father,
Trieze
Kushrenada
P.S.
I expect you'll be hearing from Col. Merquise sometime in the near future.
" What?!' yelled Erik, 'You have to be joking. Why would Col. Zechs
contact you?"
" I
have no idea. I have not even seen a picture of the so called ' Lightning
Baron'."
"
Well, Daniel received a letter of commission from him. That's the only thing I
can think of."
Erik
paused, and I thought I saw him flinch, but the face was gone before I could
get a better look.
" If
you do get a commission letter, would you accept it?"
He
asked quietly, almost in a whisper.
" I
think so,' I replied, ' It's as close as I'm probably going to get as an
opportunity worth taking. My father wants me to go into OZ anyway, but I do not
think he was planning as a soldier."
" Tell
me before you leave though all right?"
His
eyes were pleading for me to say yes and I couldn't say no to that.

Days Later*~
"Erik!'
I was shouting across the track, ' we were right! I got a commission to
Victoria!"
He
laughed and ran from his group of friends towards me.
Along
with him ran Heero.
At
one point, he had disappeared for about 2 months and then magically reappeared.
I
noticed that, for a first time runner, his stride was amazingly smooth and
natural.
/
He has either run before, or it is one of those talents that some people posses
naturally. / I thought.
That
thought flew away along with the others as they drew up next to me.
"
That's great!' Erik shouted, 'I'll bet you're the first girl since Lucrezia
Noin to get in there."
Heero
said nothing, I did notice that his eyes had widened slightly and his gaze
became intensified.
"
Yeah, I have to leave in two days. That's not good."
"
Why not?" Heero spoke for the first time.
"
Because I'll miss the closing ceremonies and the last formal." I replied.
/
Doesn't he know that the formal is the biggest event during the year?/ I wondered.
"
Well, I guess I'll have to find someone else to go with me then…" Erik trailed
off.
"
Heero, I need to talk to Erik alone for a few minutes." He nodded, turned. and
sprinted back to the group.
"
Look, Erik, I really want to go to the dance with you, but I've already talked
to my father and he is personally going to come and take me there in his jet."
"
I'm happy for you and it will be absolutely wonderful for you to finally meet
your dad, but I can't help thinking that he won't keep his promise again."
"
Well if he doesn't, he told me that Lady Une would accompany me instead.
Personally, I don't want all the special treatment, but I think it won't as bad
of a journey if I don't have to deal with the press. I'd rather attend the dance
with you."
"
I'm with you on that. Something doesn't seem right though.' He turned the
subject of conversation abruptly, 'Have you heard anything about the new system
yet? What do you know about the foreign relations with their government?"
"
I can't tell you that. Remember, 'military secrecy'?"
"
Right. Well, like I said, tell me before you go."
"
Gotcha!" He ran back to the practice and I went to the gymnasium to get a few
hours of exercise in before dinner.
About
midway though my three-mile swim, Heero showed up and started swimming too.
I
finished about twenty minutes after he got in, but I did not leave. Instead, I
watched him swim.
Once
again, he was no amateur.
I
left the pool and headed to the gymnastics/martial arts floor.
When
I had started here, I joined the martial arts classes.
Soon,
I was traveling around the world to international tournaments… and winning.
The
martial arts mater here was stunned that a girl could be beating out his best
fighters and even him.
I
had noticed that Heero and Erik had started coming to the home tournaments to
watch.
I
figured they were watching someone else until Erik commented on how well I was
doing compared to the other fighters.
~*2
days later*~
My
father actually had picked me up and we had a civilized conversation about the
recent developments with the rebels.
Soon
before we had to separate, he questioned me about Erik and I told him about
Heero.
He
was very interested in him, but when I asked why he told me not to worry, that
he was ' just trying to discover if the rebels had placed troops in government
schools'.
I
think that is a bunch of bull.
