To Catch a Shooting Star

Ch. 1 – The shooting star she saw...again...

"...Relena...Releeeeennaaa...Heeeeyyy Princess, welcome back. Thought I lost you for a sec. See something ya like out there?" Duo had a wide grin on his face, staring at an absent-minded Relena. "Quiet, Duo, and don't call me that. I am Vice Foreign Minister Darlian, nothing more." "Maybe so, but don't forget, you were once Queen of Earth, and you are the princess of the Sanc Kingdom. Oh c'mon, lighten up!" Relena was glaring at Duo; she didn't like to be reminded that she was once queen of the entire world, not because she misses the power, but because she was only 15 at the time, and while any other girl would have probably loved to be in that position, she had never wanted it. "Relax, will ya? It's just a nickname. But don't change the subject. What caught your attention so much that you couldn't even listen for half a second? And you're still not listening..." "Duo, what are you nagging about?" "Your phone is STILL RINGING!"

So it was. Relena finally caught on, scrambling to answer it. While she handled that, Duo took a look out the window. Lo and behold, there he was. It had been a couple of years since the end of the Mariemaia incident. After he saved Relena, he disappeared for a little again, only leaving random messages about what he was doing, like stopping rebels from starting wars, and yet always finding time to keep an eye on Relena. No one was allowed to tell her that he was watching from the top balcony, or from the back row, or even via camera; they thought that if she knew, she would try to chase after him again, and rightly so. She was in love with him. Everyone saw it... does he?

"Duo, that was Chris, just notifying me that we have a very special guest. Come; as the leader of this nation, and the head of this building and organization, it is my duty and my honour to welcome him." "Sure, sure, it has nothing to do with the fact that you haven't seen him in two years and that you are doing all in your power to stop yourself from just jumping into his arms. Think he'd catch ya?" "Duo, shush. As part of my guard, it's your job call the others to meet downstairs. Now come, I don't want to keep him waiting." She headed from her office to the entrance of her mansion to meet her guest. Oh, how long as it been? The last time I saw him, he didn't say much. He listened to me plead with him, beg him not to leave, and only said a few words in response... "I promise you, I will be back." That was the second time he kissed me... finally, he's back. Finally... he WILL be mine.

Out on the entrance, on the top steps, all in a neat little row, was Duo, Lady Une, Relena, and Quatre. Relena began walking down to greet him. "The Sanc Kingdom welcomes you back." She was at the bottom, level with him.

"I've missed you...Heero."

Yeah, didn't need to drag it out, but hey, it's been a while. We'll see how committed I am to finishing this. Catch ya later!
