Note: I don't own Gundam Wing or its characters, otherwise Trowa and Heero would be mine. insane giggling. Anyway the only thing I own is the messed up plot my sugar deprived system has come up with. I hope that you like it and I look forward to your reviews.
A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
The sun was just beginning to slide down from the sky when the tower gave the pilots the okay to prepare to leave for the colonies. The enemy was unknown and the women who walked along side their soldiers were far from okay with it. Each of them had tried to interfere in some way or another but all three had hit wall after wall. Their men were going out to risk their lives while they were stuck home worrying and pacing. Of course Sally and Relena couldn't tell their pilots why they were so adamant about them not going but it was their own stupid faults. If they were to tell Wufei and Heero of their love the two pilots wouldn't have been able to get into the ship fast enough. Both would much rather face death then face emotion of any kind, Sally thought with a grimace. Well her mother had always said that you couldn't pick the ones you love.
"Take care, Noin. Watch out for Relena for me, okay? I'll send you a message as soon as it's safe to transmit." Milliardo said as he looked into her dark eyes which had long held him captive. He hated to leave her and he knew that she hated it just as much but there was nothing he could do about it.
"You bet." Noin said with a mock salute that belayed the love for him that shined in her eyes and that he could read easily. Hugging Noin Milliardo placed a kiss on her forehead before calmly strolling up the gangplank and into the cockpit.
"You'll be careful." Relena said looking into Heero's brilliant blue eyes. As though for the first time in history they would show her his true feelings and beliefs. At least I've got him visiting me more without it involving death, Relena thought ruefully. Now that we both work at Preventers part time he has to come into contact with me. Much as Milliardo wanted to change that.
"I'll be careful." Heero agreed as he returned her gaze with a small smile that Duo had taken to calling his Peacecraft smile. It fit, Heero had to admit. Relena did have a habit of making him smile. Because she's given you a reason to smile, Heero added to himself as he tightened his hold on his duffel bag, loaded down with explosives and weapons. His favorite toys.
Holding just as tightly to her purse Relena handed Heero some cookies for the trip and with a kiss on the cheek watched him follow Milliardo up the plank though he did stop to nod in her direction before he completely entered the ship, a step up from his usual orders to behave then beat out of there as fast as possible.
"Don't forget, Onna." Wufei said with a glare that told Sally there would be dire consequences if she were to forget the hundreds of orders he'd thrown at her all day. It was important that the work get done and the last thing he needed to come home to was a desk full of problems and paperwork.
"I won't, Wufei. Have a safe trip." Sally said with a reassuring grin. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do okay, partner?" She added as she pulled him into a loose hug. As she expected he stiffened and moved away quickly but at least he was too startled to yell at her.
Frowning Wufei just shot her another glare then turning on his heels followed the other two into the waiting ship. Minutes later the ship took off for space and god only knows what else. Standing shoulder to shoulder the three women watched and each gave up a prayer that they would come back in one piece. A tall order for them.
"Well there they go." Noin said shading her eyes from the glare of the setting sun. The wind whipped through her dark purple hair, sending it flying from her face. God damn but he better come back in one piece or she was going to be really mad.
"I hope those two behave themselves." Relena said with a sigh. Heero and Milliardo had been glaring at each other as they'd met up and as they'd walked to the ship. It wouldn't surprise her at all if one or both of them came back in body bags having never even seen the enemy. "It's like Milliardo's trying to catch up on his overprotecting brothering attitude all at once."
"Wufei will keep them both in line, Relena so don't worry, they'll be fine." Sally said reassuringly, hopeful that nothing would happen. She was looking forward to two weeks without Wufei even though she'd spend a lot of that time worrying about him. Since they'd danced together at the formal dance Relena had held for Noin and Milliardo Wufei had been treating her like the plague. She was eager to get rid of him for a while though she'd prefer it not to have been on a dangerous mission.
"They'll be fine." Noin said as she turned to head back to the offices. Following her Sally and Relena discussed the new policies some of the other ministers had approached her with. Pushing her dark blonde hair out of her eyes Sally gave the younger woman her opinions and they discussed possible alterations.
"So what do you two have planned for tonight?" Noin asked when they entered the building.
"I'm going to catch up on some paperwork then get to bed early for the first time in too long. Fun night huh?" Relena said with a grin at the thought. She couldn't remember the last time she'd done that and right this minute there was nothing that sounded better then going to bed and catching up on sleep. It would be even better if I was having company Relena thought as she wished that Heero wasn't going on this mission. They didn't even know what they were dealing with and Relena worried that something would go wrong.
"I've got double duty in the med wing. Then I've got paperwork coming out of my ears so unlike Relena I probably won't see my bed until after eleven." Sally said with regret and a sigh. "Wufei's mad at me enough as it is. I'm not giving him the chance to have another reason to yell and complain about what weak minds women have by leaving the paperwork alone to breed." Especially since I'm trying so hard to convince him I'm not, Sally added to herself with a bigger inner sigh. She'd even worked overtime to get some of their extra work done and the thick headed moron hadn't even noticed. Maybe I should hit him in the head with a bat, Sally thought wickedly, maybe it would knock some sense into him.
"Awwwwww poor, Sally, you too? Well if it makes you feel any better I've got a mountain of stuff to do too." Noin said with a sigh. Oh well, Noin thought, maybe they'll take my mind off the fact that I'm going to be coming home to a cold bed tonight. Thanks to the fact that Milliardo just had to go on the most dangerous mission to come around since Marimaia had tried to take over the world, Noin thought sarcastically. Sometimes he just took the knight in shining armor gig a little to far. Or in this case way too far.
"Well if you're still in the building at eleven look me up and we'll get some caffeine to keep us alive for a while longer." Sally said wearily as she moved out of the way of an ensign who wasn't looking where he was going.
"Well I'm going to go talk to some crooked politicians and try to convince them to be a little less crooked and self serving." Relena had with a smirk as she waved good bye to her friends. It was going to be a long day but at least she planned to be in bed by ten. Poor Sally and Noin, I know just how you feel, Relena thought as she prepared to face the hungry wolves who were very likely to try and eat her when they found out what she had to say about her opinions on their suggested policies.
"See ya later." Sally agreed as she headed in the opposite direction. Besides the paperwork Sally needed to come up with a plan to convince Wufei that there was no need to be on the defensive. It's like he expects me to jump him, Sally thought with a smile. Not that she wouldn't mind trying it but she had a feeling Wufei's already high strung feelings would make that impossible. But there's always more then one way to skin a fish, Sally thought as she entered the medical wing with a slightly more optimistic look.
"Catch you two later." Noin agreed as she continued forward. Acknowledging several nods Noin headed for her office and mentally prayed that Heero and Milliardo wouldn't kill each other on this mission. Milliardo had been far from happy about how close Heero and Relena were getting and Noin had the uncomfortable idea that the two had been waiting for this mission to duke it out. Those boys had better be behaving themselves, Noin thought as she turned the handle to her office where a mountain of paper work was waiting for her.
Okay so know you've got the idea. The next three chapters will each be about a dream of one of the girls involving her man. Relena and Heero will be visiting merry old England in medieval times first so stay tuned to read. Thanks and enjoy. I intend to have the chapters up soon.
