I really don't know why I'm posting this, because I have no idea how to finish it... but I'm doing it anyway. I have a sort of romance in mind though... It's an AU story, a look back in the war time. It was an idea that popped into my head after watching episode 29.

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, or the characters yadda yadda yadda...

One Step Too Early

Part 1

A.C. 195 - The restored Cinq Kingdom

"Miss Relena, are you sure we should allow the new girl to come? Who knows what they have sent her here for."

The young leader of the Cinq Kingdom smiled, closing her eyes. "Pagan, the Romafeller Foundation is sending her to hear the teachings of pacifism. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"I'm just concerned for your safety."

Relena nodded. The rest of the ride back to the palace was quiet.

"I'll be heading to my room now, Pagan. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Miss Relena." She smiled slightly, and turned towards the direction of her room.

Pagan immediately went to another small room, where he turned on the communication unit and called Noin, who answered right away.

"Hi, Pagan."

"Hello, Miss Noin. I was calling to tell you about a new girl. The Romafeller Foundation is sending her to learn about the ways of pacifism... but I'm not sure if we should trust them, or her."

Noin thought for a moment. "When will she arrive?"

"Tomorrow afternoon." '

I won't be there...',Noin thought,'Hopefully nothing will happen...' "If Miss Relena isn't worried, then we should trust her judgment. Keep me posted." 'And hopefully you know what you're doing, Miss Relena, I won't forgive myself if something does happen...'

~The next day~

'What a new experience... learning about peace at the one place the Foundation is the most intent on destroying. How ironic everything is...'

The girl pulled over her large yellow automobile noticing a few mobile suits flying overhead. "The real was hasn't started yet..." she murmured. "What are you waiting for?", she shouted,"Go ahead and start it!"

-Cinq Kingdom

"Miss Relena, the new girl has arrived."

Relena looked up from her large desk. "Thank you, Pagan. Please send her in."

A girl about her age, with almost knee-length blond hair, and the most peculiar eyebrows, walked in. "So you are Princess Relena Peacecraft of the Cinq Kingdom. I had no idea you were so young!"

"I'm pleased to meet you, and personally welcome you to the Cinq Kingdom. You are...?"

"My name is Dorothy Catalonia, it's a pleasure to be here Miss Relena."

"Please, just call me Relena."

"But I can't! You are the leader of the pacifist nation, in which many others set as their model for total pacifism. You deserve much more respect."

Relena only nodded. "If you really want to."

"But of course! It would be so interesting to learn your ways of peace, and see what it is the Foundation is really afraid of."

"I don't see why, though. What is the point of fighting? The wars will continue unless everything throws away their weapons."

"But Miss Relena, they can't do that. Once you are apart of a war you stay until you get killed, or until it is over. A true soldier doesn't run away from a battle."

"It wouldn't be running away. It would be saving lives for peace."

"Wars are so beautiful. Throwing away weapons and stopping wars would only be going against human nature. Our instinct is always to fight, and defend."

Relena closed her eyes and turned aroung to face her large glass wall overlooking the sea. "It is what I believe in, and I will strive for it."

"Of course you will. That's just what they told me." Dorothy reached into her coat.

Relena's eyes snapped open when she heard a gun cock. 'A gun?... Was she sent here to...'

"It's a shame this has to be done, but that's what I was sent here for."

Many things happened only in a matter of seconds. Dorothy smiled a bit, pulling the trigger. Relena whirled around just in time to see her do it. On her face was a look of fear and shock. She watched as the bullet came towards her, paralyzed with fear. Her mind told her to move, and yet all she registered from it was terror. Right before it went through she came out of her numbness to move.

But, it was still too late to stop from getting it. Instead of getting a bullet into her chest, it went right under her shoulder blade. No pain was felt the moment it entered her skin. She saw the blood pour out, yet no pain at all.

It was then that Pagan, who had been standing right outside, came in the room. He saw Dorothy bolt right past him as he entered, and heard a dull thud.

Going around the desk, there lie Relena, on the floor, the carpet slowly absorbing more blood as it flowed out of her wound.

Umm... so how it is so far? I didn't feel like getting very detailed since I'm so tired. Please review and tell me if I should continue.
