Party time!

It was a few years after the battle with Marimeia. She had not seen or heard from Heero since then. It was like he had vanished into thin air. Releena caught herself. Why am I thinking of him again? She scolded herself. She quickly turned her attention back to her papers. Following in her father's footsteps, Releena became the Vice Foreign Minister between the Earth and colonies. She had just sat down when her communication system snapped on.

"Duo, Hilde!" Releena exclaimed. "How have you been?" Her smile was now lighting up the room. "Releena," Duo said. "It's been three years since the war ended, me and Hilde are throwing a party." "Think you can get away from your duties for one night?" He grinned mischievously. "The other gundam pilots, Catherine, Dorothy, and Sally are coming."

Releena had stopped listening when he said "the other gundam pilots".

With hesitation she asked slowly "Will Heero be there?"

"Yes Releena, Heero will be there." Hilde winked at Releena while saying this.

Duo grimaced and said, "It took a lot of convincing though." "I'll try my hardest to make it there." Releena said. Silently she added "nothing is gonna stop me from this!" "Great we'll see you there." Duo said just before the screen went black.

Releena woke up extra early. Today is the day of the party! She thought excitedly. After picking out her wardrobe she packed her bags. She then headed for the spaceport to go to the L2 colony. I hope Heero shows up!

"Hey Heero!" Duo said. "Glad you could make it." Heero just nodded and looked around the room. On one side was Wu Fei, Sally, Quatra, and Dorothy apparently in a heated conversation about which mobile suit fought the best during the war. On the other side were Duo, Catherine, Hilde, and Trowa.

He did not see her anywhere.

Heero had gone from colony to colony trying to find the profession he liked the best. During those three years he had also tried to find out why Releena haunted his mind day and night. As the weeks turned to months he soon realized he held strong emotions for this one girl. As the months progressed slowly, Heero realized he was in love with Releena. He had every intention of using this party as an advantage to see her face again.

"Yo, Heero." Duo's annoying voice snapped him out of his thoughts. "I said did you notice who just walked in?" Duo said in a teasing voice.

"Hello everyone." Heero knew that voice. "Releena." He said. Like everyone else she was dressed casually. It almost shocked Heero how differently she looked. Not only because of the fact he had usually only seen her in uniforms, but Releena had matured greatly. Heero was taken aback when he saw just how beautiful she was and how she seemed to glow with radiance.

"Hi Releena!" The other guests seemed genuinely surprised she was there.

"I'm sorry I am late." She said. "That's alright." Duo said with giddiness in his voice. "Now that everyone is here, Hilde start the music." "Sure thing Duo."

Soon music started playing and everyone began to dance with the exception of Wu Fei, Sally, Heero, and Releena. Here's your chance heero, he told himself.

"Will you dance with me Releena?" He said with a smile.

"Will you dance with me Releena?" The words were echoing through her mind. Releena had just began to worry her trip was for nothing, Heero had barely said her name when she had walked in. Now he was asking her to dance with a smile that was to die for. The smile was what truly shocked Releena. She had never seen Heero smile. She could only imagine a smirk on his sweet lips, but a smile for her, she was in heaven.

Realizing he was still waiting for a reply, Releena nodded. Releena was having a blast dancing with Heero and the others to the fast music. By this time, Sally had managed to drag Wu Fei out to the middle of the room to dance. Suddenly the music changed to a very slow song. Releena was starting to panic. Should she sit down or assume Heero actually wanted to slow dance with her. The only other time Heero had danced with her was when she had just found out she was a peacecraft and had returned to find a class party. She had managed to surprise Heero and convince him to come and enjoy the dance. Her question was answered when Heero scooped her up in his arms and started dancing.

Well, well, well. What have we got here? Duo thought to himself. It seems the slow music was a good idea after all. If everything goes according to plan, Heero and Releena will be doing more than dancing by this night's end. "Duo," Hilde whispered. "Yeah?" "Do you think our plan will work?" She asked seriously.

"There is no doubt in my mind, Hilde." Both of them smiled wickedly. This was going to be fun.
