Chapter One -

The Preventers Headquarters was filled with laughter and music as people had gathered once again to celebrate. There were many guests from here and there, and it had been a few years since there was any kind of war between the colonies and the Earth. The people of Earth were overjoyed as well as those that resided in the colonies. Representatives from various places wore their formal attire for the evening and enjoyed the festivities as well as the food.

Many would think that the Preventers HQ would not have a ballroom type of hall, but they did. It was by the request of Lady Une, no one really knew why but there was one at least until now…it was meant for these kinds of occasions. She had become a woman of great power during her time as the president of the Preventers and she even got out of her uniform into a simple yet elegant red dress. Mariemeia Khushrenada stood next to her adopted mother, she felt safe and not used for the first time in years, she was loved. Though she was still rather young she knew of what was going on the world. She had enough respect for Lady Une to refer to her as mother and called her as such, and no one questioned the girl when she did.

Among the crowd was Relena Dorlian Peacecraft, who had returned to her surname by birth after stepping down from her position as Vice Foreign Minister, but only to receive the position once again but she decided to honor her birth parents in doing so. Relena added her adoptive parents' name as her middle name to show that she would represent both of her families that she was apart of.

She continued to keep in contact with her mother, just to make sure she was still well. She sighed as she watched the party continued on. She wanted to be in her room locked up where no one would bother her, but as the Vice Foreign Minister, there were no time for breaks. Lady Une informed her that the Gundam pilots had all joined to work with the Preventers although many of them work part time unless there were field missions for the former pilots.

Relena had caught sight of Quatre Raberba Winner, who looked dashing in his jet black tuxedo. He ran his family's corporation for most of the time, but someone how Lady Une convinced him due to his skills as a gundam pilot that he should at least work part time for the Preventers. And so he did, he accepted it willing knowing if there was anyway to protect the peace that was established at the moment in time.

Quatre was currently dancing with Dorothy Catalonia, who not only changed by personality wise but appearance as well. Her once former long platinum blonde hair was cut up to her shoulders but was in curls for the party. She even wore a small amount of makeup and rumored to have been seen almost at every social event with Quatre. Relena knew better than what the media did; the two were dating and apparently very intimate with one another.

She wore a simple white dress that hugged her figure and moved side to side as she danced. The white dress was a symbol of change on how Dorothy saw the world. At one point she absolutely loved war but now she still did but with a different meaning behind it. If war was being fought for a decent good reason, whatever that may be, it was beautiful but fighting over stupid things just to fight was apparently no longer acceptable in her book.

Relena smiled, she and Dorothy had become close friends over the years. Considering the fact she decided to leave her family fortunes and invest them into something else. She was still a strong-headed businesswoman, who kept her head held up high, but she had softened but don't you dare tell her that.

Relena was pulled into another dance with another partner who was an aristocrat that only cared about money and how many women he could get to sleep with him. It wasn't easy for Relena to be the most sought after woman in the world, for her heart laid somewhere else and with someone else.

That someone else just happened to be watching from above hidden in the shadows on a balcony. He watched as the young blonde danced with a partner after another. He hated to admit it, it made him feel uneasy…but the kind of uneasy feeling he was getting was something new to him. He wore a black tuxedo like every other male in the room, but lacking the ribbons as many of the representatives wore. Heero Yuy on the other hand wasn't paying too much attention to what the others were wearing but kept his eyes solely on Relena.

When he joined the Preventers, he signed up for being Relena's personal bodyguard with out her knowing he was. He would watch her day or night, rain or shine, and made sure that whoever attempted at her life would not see the morning light of the next day. However he also noticed her dress was a simple pink and left her shoulders bare and open to sight. Fortunately for him, that was the only portion of skin that was open for sight for the hungry politicians and aristocrats that had eyes on the Minister.

Heero saw Wufei Chang leaning on the wall in a tuxedo next to his partner Sally Po, the only woman who he held great respect for. Both looked very bored and wanted nothing more than to leave and get back to work, which dealt with blowing things up and beating a few criminals senseless. However, much like Heero was, the both of them were on duty in formal attire as the ball continued to take place. Heero noticed Duo Maxwell and Hilde Schbeiker dancing on the dance floor. Everyone could see that the two of them were deeply in love with each other.

Duo had opened a junk repair shop on colony L2 with Hilde. However, both actually worked with the Preventers, but not on full time duty. The couple had apparently argued for days about Hilde going out on the field, but she finally agreed to just be someone behind the scenes as Duo went out to do the dirty work. Hilde was comfortable in his arms as the two spent the night dancing, eating, laughing, or just kissing off somewhere, where they thought no one could see them.

Heero then sense a presence behind him and pulled out his gun to be greeted by none other than Zechs Merquise. Heero than placed his gun back into its holster as Zechs approached him slowly with a smile. His long platinum blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail as he watched the party from the balcony that Heero apparently occupying.

"How have you been Heero?" Zechs asked casually.

"Busy," Heero replied quickly as he turned his gaze back to the crowd.

Zechs had returned to his birth given name Milliardo Peacecraft when he joined the Preventers, but he stayed off the field due to the fact of his partner that he currently had. He also felt he was getting too old to do the boys' work, as he often called it.

"You know, my younger sister still fancies you." Milliardo said with a smirk as he followed Heero's gaze to his younger sister. "She's grown into a beautiful young woman. And I probably would bet she would be a wonderful aunt."

"Aunt," Heero raised an eyebrow as he returned his gaze back to Milliardo.

"Yes," a feminine voice called from behind him. The woman stepped from the shadows to relieve a pregnant Lucrezia Noin.

"So the rumors are true then, congratulations," Heero replied politely as he took note she was probably only about five months into her pregnancy. The rumor was that Milliardo had finally gotten married and was starting a family, and apparently it was so.

"We know you've been watching her," Milliardo stated as Noin moved into his embrace. "So have we, but probably not like you have."

"Probably not," Heero replied simply as he watched the party continue on and Relena with another partner.

"Heero, I might not approve of you, but I know deep down you love my sister." Milliardo said simply as he and Noin were taking their leave. "If I can let go of my past and marry the love of my life, so can you Heero Yuy."

Heero turned to see Milliardo and Noin leaving the balcony and returning to the party. He watched as his former comrades of being gundam pilots were attending except one, he could not find Trowa Barton. He then turned to his left to see the taller gundam pilot leaning up against the wall looking down to the party.

"When did you get up here," Heero asked as he then leaned against the wall behind him.

"Right after, Zechs and Noin walked out." Trowa replied as he watched the scene beneath them. "You're getting soft if you didn't notice my entrance."

"How's Catherine?" Heero asked making small conversation with him.

Trowa worked full time Preventer and part time at the traveling circus. He stayed due to the fact the woman who he considered like an older sister, Catherine Bloom, had requested him to stay. And so he did, as he worked both the desk and the field for the Preventers…when the traveling circus was on earth he would do a part time job there.

"She got married about two months ago," Trowa replied simply.

"I see," Heero said knowing that's not the reason Trowa was up on the balcony with him. "What's wrong?"

"We've detected a new group formulating. They seemed to be the remaining members of Oz and the Barton Foundation. We don't know exactly what they are up to, but like most of them…probably the target will be…"

"Relena," Heero said but as soon as he said her name Relena turned her head towards the balcony as almost as she knew he was there. He was out in sight now for her to see, it was probably the first time she has seen him. He always saw her, but she did not see him. Relena then had to turn away as she was pulled into another political discussion.

"I see you have feelings for her," Trowa replied simply as he noticed Heero's actions.

"I'm her bodyguard," Heero said in a monotone that made Trowa have a smirk on his face.

"Heero, you and I both know that we've gotten to know our emotions pretty well over the years." Trowa said simply, "Mine due to the relationships with Catherine of having a sister. And you, my friend, for a love of a woman who is not afraid to die by your hands."

Heero was about to say something when he and Trowa heard the door swish open behind them. Heero probably one of the few times wore a shocked expression on his face, because the person in front of him looked like a reflection of himself.

"Who are you?"
