Ok so this is my first try at fanfiction. Please bear that in mind. The italics represent Relena's thoughts.

"Hold my calls Chris," I said through the intercom "I'm super busy."

"Okay Ms. Relena." came her reply.

Sigh* "being the face of peace is a downright nightmare" I thought.

I had paper work as high as mountains waiting to be done on my desk and it seemed that no matter how much I worked, it just never went down. But I love my job; helping people, preventing bloodshed and solving world crises. How I long for a normal life, but given the chance, I would do it all again for the sake of peace.

The world was a peace for six years now, six long years in office as Vice Foreign Minister. During the war, my voice was heard across the world and in the end, the Gundam pilots and their team had the final victory. The colonies were now free. I never met any of the pilots, but I admired them for standing up for their people. They must have been brave men and their families must be proud. But after the war ended, the five pilots were given important positions in the military. One pilot in particular was the root cause of most of the paperwork and, by extension, stress I had at the moment. His name was Heero Yuy. He was the commander in chief of the armed forces of the L1 colony. We just couldn't negotiate the details of the new bill I was trying so desperately to pass. He was as stubborn as they come. It was my latest attempt at keeping world peace. I was trying to pass a bill to ban the development of new weaponry in the military. A world at peace has no use for such items. In my mind, they would just stir up fear and a macho contest of who is better than who which would result in another war. That brings us back to reality. My desk was my enemy and so was Heero Yuy.

"When is it going to end Mr. Yuy." I said to myself. I was sitting in my comfortable chair contemplating on how best to annihilate my opponent in the most violent way possible, deciding that the particular document which bore his name and seal, was said person and began stabbing it with a pencil, when then noise of the door opening grabbed my attention.

"Sorry for interrupting you Ms. Relena," came Chris's voice. She must have seen me 'killing' the document. "Damn. There goes my reputation as a pacifist" I thought.

"Don't worry Chris," I said 'pull yourself together woman!'

"I was wondering if you would like to go get some coffee?" asked Chris, "you seem as if you could take a break from Mr. Yuy."

"Please." I got up, grabbed my jacket and walked out of the door which Chris held open.

"Ms. Relena!"

I heard my voice being called. "Seems like everyone needs me".

"Ms. Relena!" said Declan as he came running up to be with a bright smile on his face. Declan and I went to St. Gabriel's together and had a huge crush on me since childhood. He even went into politics so we could spend more time together. Everyone thought we looked good together. My friends thought he was the most handsome guy in school and that he was a true gentleman. They were waiting for us to get together. I sometimes thought he was a bit smothering at times. But he always supported my views and helped me get through the tough times.

"Hi Declan!"

"Where's that beautiful smile of yours?" he said putting on a little pout.

"it's right here" I replied, letting a smile grace my face.

"Ever since I knew you Relena, you hardly ever smile. You should do it more often. You look even more beautiful when you do" and then kissed my hand. I blushed.

"Hey Chris, didn't see you there. Mind if I join you two ladies?" he said putting on a smile.

"Of course not." she said bowing her head a little and suppressing a smile. We then walked out of the building and went to our favourite coffee shop.

"So how's the Weaponry bill coming along Princess? Hope he's not stressing you out." Declan said.

"He is the BIGGEST pain to work with. I would guess that he of all people would think the bill is worthless. He is a military man after all. The public agrees with me. I must stick to the plan." I said a little more forceful than I wanted. I took a sip of my coffee.

"Don't worry Ms. Relena. You are an expert and the people believe in you."

"We believe in you" Declan added.

"Thanks. I've denied every appeal he's sent me. I'm not some weak little girl. I too can stand firm for what I believe in."

Next Day

I sat at my desk with my palm on my forehead; another stressful day. I was deep in thought on other matters when Chris's voice came through the intercom. She sounded panicked.

"Ms. Relena, Mr. Yuy out here to see you. Should I send him in?"

"What? He's here?" I thought. "Send him in". I fixed my clothes and prepared myself mentally to meet with the man. "I am ready" I thought. The door opened and my heart stopped. I was expecting an older man, possibly in his late 30's and a mean face, but in walked-no strut a creature like no other. He was young, possibly my age, tall and muscular with chocolate brown hair and the most gorgeous pair of eyes I had ever seen. They were incredibly blue and seemed to be able to look into my soul. I suddenly grew hot. VERY hot indeed. Wait was that about me or him? Damn.

He continued walking into my office and i just gaped at him as he came closer. I stood up.

"Hello Ms. Darlian, my name is Heero Yuy. We've conversed though email and letters." He said and held out his arm to shake mine. His voice was like silk and I grew incredibly dumber by the second. I wanted to shake his hand but my mind was gone. "This was the guy I was planning on killing?"

He stood there with his arm outstretched and I don't know how I mustered the brain power to articulate my hand into my bidding. I realized my mouth was open and quickly shut it and composed myself.

"Good to meet you Mr. Yuy. What do I owe the pleasure of coming all the way to earth to my office?" I asked, too late to realize how stupid that sounded. "Dumb question Relena!"

I came to see if we can negotiate the bill. We need to see eye to eye.

"Oh I am seeing you eye to eye and they are gorgeous!" Be quiet Relena. Now is not the time to get horny. Things just got ten times more difficult.

Authors note:

Please do not critique too badly. I haven't written a story in ages so I can't remember the proper punctuation. Also please go gentle on me. This is my first time writing a fanfic. I did it for the fun. Hope it was ok.
