"I'M ALREADY THERE"
-------------------

[HE CALLED HER ON THE ROAD,
FROM A LONELY, COLD HOTEL ROOM]

The phone rang for the third time. Relena didn't want to get up, but the phone kept
ringing her nerves onto the brink of madness. She wanted the phone to stop. She didn't want to
leave the room. But, as it rang for the sixth time, she answered it.

"hello?" she greeted it in her sad and burdened voice as she ran her hand through her
honey colored hair.

"Hey .. it's me" a voice replied in the other end, He wanted to see her face as he heard
her gasp.

[JUST TO HEAR HER SAY
I LOVE YOU ONE MORE TIME,
WHEN HE HEARD THE SOUND
OF HER LAUGHING IN THE BACKROUND
HE HAD TO WIPE A TEAR FROM HIS EYE]

"It's good to hear that laugh of yours, again" he sighed. Relena had a funny feeling, but
she didn't know why. Maybe it was the tone of his voice or the way he didn't seem to say
-anything. It was a quiet pause as silence rang through her ears.

"When are you coming back?" she blurted, killing the silence in the process. Relena longed
to be with him. And she knew he felt the same way too.

[THEN A VOICE ON THE PHONE
SAID 'BABY WHEN YOU COMING HOME'
HE SAID THE FIRST THING THAT CAME
TO HIS MIND]

"I-I'm" he stammered fighting for the unsureness that took over him as a whole. He shruggeed
his shoulders mentally.

[I'M ALREADY THERE
TAKE A LOOK AROUND
I'M THE SUNSHINE IN YOUR HAIR
I'M THE SHADOW ON THE GROUND]

"I'm already there" he smiled his once in a lifetime smile "Take a look around"

[I'M THE WHISPHER IN THE WIND
I'M YOUR IMAGINARY FRIEND
AND I KNOW I'M IN YOUR PRAYERS
OH, I'M ALREADY THERE]

"Oh .. Heero when ARE you coming back? .." she asked, her voice sounding as if she was
pleading him to come back -regardless if the job was done or not. Relena took the phone and placed
it on her lap as she wiped the tears that fell from her face.

[SHE SIGHED, GOT BACK ON THE PHONE
SAID I REALLY MISS YOU DARLIN'
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME
I'LL BE ALRIGHT]

"Are you crying?" he asked, his concerns growing faster that his worries.

"I-I really miss you" she paused again to wipe her eyes "but you mission comes before us ..
don't worry about me .. I'll be alright .."

She hung the phone up with Heero dumbfounded on the other line.

'Maybe she isn't ready to know .. yet' he sighed putting the phone on the reciever. Staring
at the lonely corner of the room, where a desk sat waiting to be used. He sought out a peice of paper
and began to write.

[WISH I WAS IN YOUR ARMS
LYING RIGHT THERE BESIDE YOU]

He grunted in disaproval as he looked hardly at the paper in his hands. It wasn't much
but, it came from his heart -his soul .. something he wasn't fond of doing. But he urged himself
to continue and began again knowing he wasn't used to pouring everything he thought of into paper.

[BUT I KNOW I'LL BE IN YOUR DREAMS TONIGHT
AND I'LL GENTLY KISS YOUR LIPS,
TOUCH YOU WITH MY FINGER TIPS]

He was done. After an hour of writing and the aching fingers that plauged him afterwards,
it was worth it. Getting up he to grab his coat, he placed the letter inside one of it's pockets
for safekeeping -he was going to finish what he came there to do.

[SO TURN OUT THE LIGHT AND CLOSE YOU EYES
I'M ALREADY THERE]

Quickly and silently, Heero clutched the gun he held in his hands as he made a right turn
inside the gigantic building. Trowa and Duo -his saftey were carefully watching and waiting outside.

[DON'T MAKE A SOUND
I'M THE BEAT IN YOUR HEART
I'M THE MOON SHINING DOWN]

Heero's stomach gave a churn as he neared his destination -it didn't feel right. just being
there didn't feel right. it was unusual- he couldn't put his foot down.

"Just as I expected .." trailed a voice as Heero felt something nudge his back "Heero Yuy,
I presume?"

[I'M THE WHISPHERE IN THE WIND
CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE THAT WE SHARE
OH, I'M ALREADY THERE]

He replied in his monotone "who wants to know .." he felt the figure lean over to speak.

"Death" it rasped "is by your ear Heero .. live it says .." the voice lowered it's tone
"I'm coming ..."

[WE MAY BE MILES APART
BUT I'LL BE WITH YOU
WHEREVER YOU ARE]

There was a light knock on her door as Relena went to go answer it. It was late, but she
couldn't fall asleep. She didn't know why, she just couldn't.

"Duo?" she questioned "what are you doing here?"

He gave a meek smile as he took off his black hat and placed it to his side "Um ..I know
it's late, but can I come in?"

She nodded "sure .. please. what are you doing here?" she asked again as she led Duo to
her couch where they sat down.

"Relena, I'm going to come straight with you. I don't like doing this but, I need to talk
to you .." he ground out still stalling.

"Talk? talk about what?"

He took her hands into his "Relena something happened tonight .." he paused "w-with Heero"
She was taken back by his words, instantly she freed her hands and covered her mouth. Tears fell down
her cheeks as she tired to hold back her sobbs, he continued "Heero was sent to check on a heavy
operation on drug dealing. Now the operation itself is difficult and he knew the risk of getting out
there was impossible." he breathed sharply, Relena's tears that fell was not helping.

She forced herself to say something, even though at the moment she was chocked on tears "And?"

He cut to the chase "Relena" he spoke her name "Heero died"

She knew what she anticipated. At this moment she sobbed louder cursing herself that it was
her fault. Duo told her it wasn't, but she chose not to listen.

"Heero .." Relena sobbed breaking down to her knees on the carpet, tears streaming down her
face. Those two words had crushed her to the point the impact was too much -HEERO DIED.

"Relena, listen" he eyed her and took out an envelope from his pocket, it was bloodstained
"Heero's last wish was for me to give this to you .."

[TAKE A LOOK AROUND
I'M THE SUNSHINE IN YOUR HAIR
I'M THE SHADOW ON THE GROUND]

Duo had left hours ago and Relena was in the same position she was in -staring at the dreadful
letter that awaited her to read. She didn't want to but, her consicence urged her to. She did what she
felt, reaching for the envelope to retrive a sheet of written in, white paper.

[I'M THE WHISPHERE IN THE WIND
AND I'LL BE THERE TILL THE END
CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE THAT WE SHARE,
OH, I'M ALREADY THERE]

In total mixed emotion of loss and shock Relena could not believe what she was reading. The words
were clear and it had shown that a lot of feelings were put in it. IT SAID ...

" Wish I was in your arms
lying right besides you
but I know I'll be in you dreams tonight,
And I'll gently kiss your lips
touch you with my fingertips.
So turn out the light and
close your eyes
I'm already there.
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moon shining down
I'm the whispher in the wind
I'll be there till the end
Can you feel the love that we share?
Oh, I'm already there.
We maybe a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you
where ever you are
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow in the ground
I'm the whispher in the wind
I'll be there till the end .."

A smile crept her lips as she closely hugged the paper. The words made it seem that Heero WAS there
with her, watching her closely where no one would. And yet she felt lonely and wanted to be with him. In his
arms, to hold him. But his letter washed all her sorrows away.

"This is your next mission, Heero .." Relena whisphered "don't worry about me .. I'll be alright .."
