Note: I'm revising this story. After looking at it again, I felt that I could do better. So, It's the same story but with more details. Please review, it will help me to do the next chapters.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing.
"This is CNN news reporting for Earth and the space colonies. The latest news this hour, is the announcement of Miss. Relena Dorlian-Peacecraft and Quatre Rebarba Winner?s engagement. The happy couple will marry within the week. This will no doubt turn into a great symbol for peace between Earth and the space colonies. On to other news..."
*******************************************************************************
Relena and Quatre were standing in front of the Sank kingdom?s palace talking about their impending nuptials when the limo drove up. Out jumped Duo, Trowa and Wufei. Duo with his big grin shook Quatre's hand and gave Relena a big bear hug like he always did when he saw her. Trowa had a hint of a smile also shook Quatre's hand and placed a kiss on Relena's hand. Then he stepped a side, so Wufei could have his turn with the couple. Wufei with his honour bowed to the couple and to show respect to the warrior they bowed back.
"I'm so glad you guys could make it." Quatre said happily
"We wouldn't miss this for the world." Duo said with a big smile.
"You guys are just in time for dinner." Relena said knowing this would bring a bigger smile from Duo
"Good, because I'm famished!!." Exclaimed Duo.
"You are always hunger, BAKA!" Wefui said
"You are hurting my feelings Wu-man." Duo said with sarcasm
"DON?T CALL ME THAT!!!" with this scream from Wefui. Duo blotted towards the house with Wefui hot on his trail.
"They never change, do they?" Relena said shaking her head
"Nope, but we should get in there before they destroy the house." Trowa said and with a nod from both Relena and Quatre headed toward the house.
*************************************************************************************
After having a very interesting dinner. Everyone went his or her own way to relax for the dinner.
Quatre want to his study to do some paper work. He may be living on Earth, but he still had a company to run. He was only working for a short time, when he heard a knock at the door.
"Come in", Duo and Trowa entered into the room. Quatre was glad to see them. He was not in the mood to do work and this was great reason to stop working.
" Hey guys, What can I help you with?" he said cheerfully
"We were just wondering what you are doing?" Duo reply in a serious voice
"Just working on some paper work", Quatre said not really clueing in at what they were getting at.
"That's not I meant." Duo answered starting to get mad.
"I don't understand...?" Quatre was confused
"I mean the marriage to Relena. Have you even talked to Heero about this?"
"No, I haven't talked to Heero about it. I figured I didn't need to. Its not like he's Relena's father and I have to ask for permission. He doesn?t have some claim on her." Quatre spoke while trying to keep his emotions in check.
"What about Heero's feelings for Relena?" Duo continued to question Quatre.
"Heero left her years ago and she is finally starting to get over him. I don't think Heero cares what she does with her life anyways." Quatre was starting to get mad by how at his friends questioning him, like he was a some crook.
Trowa could see this was starting to get Quatre angry, and decide to change the subject to let both Duo and Quatre calm down.
"Do you love Relena?"
Quatre was shocked by Trowa's question.
"No.... I can't say that I love her. But that really does not matter. This wedding is for peace. We both understand that. We do care for one another. Over time, I?m sure that with time we could fall in love with each other. I also know that she still loves Heero and I will do nothing to her that she does not like."
"I see," was all Trowa said
"Okay Quatre, have it your way." Duo said finally giving up
Trowa and Duo left the study, but they were not done. They had one more person to talk to.
***********************************************************************************
Relena was discussing the wedding with a couple of wedding planners in her office. When Duo and Trowa entered the room.
"Hey Relena, can we talk to you?" Duo asked politely.
"Sure" Relena replied, waiting for them to start
"Alone" Duo continued, with a look at the planners.
Relena glanced at the two men, and then she turned to the wedding planners.
"Can you meet me in the library?" she said to the planners with a sweet smile.
After the planners had left, Duo and Trowa sat in the two chairs across from Relena.
"How can I help you gentlemen?" Relena started, a little suspicious.
"Why are you marring Quatre?" Duo asked bluntly, not wanting to have the run around that Quatre gave them in the start.
"To show that earth and space can be united and have peace. Also to show them that there is not difference between Earth and the colonies."
"Do you love Quatre?" Duo continued
"No, I don't. But I will learn to love him" Relena said calmly. Knowing that she could never marry the man she loved.
"Did you invite Heero to the wedding?"
"No".
"Why not?" Duo was shocked by the simplicity of her answer
"Because there is no way to get a hold of him." That was just one of the reasons why Heero wasn?t invited. If she saw his face she could never go through with the marriage.
Looking at Relena?s face and knowing she was not telling them everything, Trowa decided to put his two cents in.
"Do you still love Heero?"
"Yes, but I?m learning to move on and this wedding will help me a lot." With that she wanting this discussion over.
"If you please, I must return to my guests."
With that Relena got up from her desk and left the two men by themselves.
"I guess the wedding is still a go," Trowa said
"I know what you mean. Man, I thought Heero was stubborn. The two of them are even worse! Will do anything for their beliefs, even to sacrifice their own happiness. " Duo said with a sad smile and Trowa just nodding in agreement.
*******************************************************************************
The music started and Relena walked down the aisle with all eyes on her. This was the happiest time in a woman?s life. But it wasn?t for Relena. She knew she was doing the right thing. This was the best way to show peace to the world. That Earth and colonies can live together in happiness. She walked up to Quatre and looked in his eyes. She could see that he was having second thoughts but she also knew that he wouldn?t go back on his word. Relena was beside Quatre at the altar. The priest had just begun. Quatre was staring into Relena?s eyes. He knew he should be seeing happiness in them but it wasn?t there. He didn?t blame her. He was not the one she loves. But he knew that she wouldn?t back down from her word.
"We are gathered here to enjoy this union of these young people. Before we continue, does anyone object to this marr...."
Quatre was surprised by how the priest had suddenly stopped talking. He looked at the priest and then followed his shocked eyes to where they were looking. Quatre let out a gasp. With that Relena turned to see what was drawing everyone's attention. A young man stood in the doorway. He was dressed in a tux?s and had a gun in his hand. Relena?s eyes widen with shock.
"Heero...."
