~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Present time.
In a near but far desert.
There, located was a mansion and a quiet little community. The town was old but new. You could tell people who loved lived there.
Inside the mansion it was very busy, but very quiet. In a room a young boy sat at a desk. He was in a study, gazing off, but looking as if he were reading.
A man taller than him and with dark hair approached the desk.
"Master Quatre. You've been home for three hours. Your work is not needed. You may resume your resting in your quarters." Replied a man with a rather deep, but caring voice.
The young boy jumped in startlement and glanced at the man.
"Oh. A...thank you Rasheed. I will be in my room if needed." replied Quatre While exiting the room.
Rasheed grabbed Quatre's shoulder and smiled.
"It's good to have you home."
At that Quatre walked out, down one hall.
The mansion was very large. You would never have suspected a mansion of great riches to be located in a desert of common people. Quatre walked into his room, shutting the door behind him. He slowly walked over to his king size bed and sat.
"Why must I keep thinking of her? Lately she is all I can allow myself to think of." Said Quatre while gazing through his window.
"I wonder how the gang is doing. Wufei is still working with Sally. Hmp." A smile crossed his face. Thinking of those two together was very amusing.
"Trowa. Now he's still with Cathy." Another smile crossed his face. Trowa was his best friend.
"Their still in the circus together."
"Duo is still working along side of Hilde. Yes all very happy." He slowed down. He hadn't heard much from Heero. Not even when he visited two weeks earlier. Trowa hadn't made it, but the rest of the gang came. Last he had heard from the perfect soldier, brought a smile to his face.
"Funny. He's still right there protecting Miss Relena, even if she doesn't know. A sign of true love unnoticed." He stopped himself. For he knew who was coming next.
"Dorothy." He whispered to himself.
"I haven't heard much from her, only in Miss Relena's letters. She is currently her secretary and advisor. Who'd a thought? Miss Relena and Miss Dorothy, the best of friends." He stopped in thought of how beautiful Dorothy was. Somehow, he had managed to fall in love with her.
"Dorothy. Just to see you again."
Rasheed suddenly, walked into the room. At that Quatre cleared his mind of the present thoughts.
"Master Quatre. We just received a message from Miss Relena Peacecraft. She is holding a reunion ball for you all. Will you be attending?" Rasheed looked over to his friend and waited for an honest answer.
Quatre smiled. "Of course. Contact her immediately and notify her of my decision." He turned towards the window.
"Yes Master Quatre." He walked away, leaving Quatre gazing out the window, dreaming of the young girl he loved.
*Meanwhile at the Preventors Headquarters* Sally walked into Wufei's and hers office. There Wufei sat at his desk, dozing off into his computer. She smiled. Wufei had really gotten there and went to work. The peace was going great. To great. She slowly walked over to him. A smile crossed her face again. He had fallen fast asleep.
*Wow he looks just like an innocent little boy when he sleeps.* Sally thought to herself.
Suddenly, the computer spoke saying: You've got Mail. At that Wufei jumped up in startlement and fell backwards in the chair. Sally began giggling to herself, inside at least. She knew Wufei and how well he hated being mocked.
"Onna. Where have you been? I actually got here late and you were no where to be seen. And why did you scare me like that?" Wufei asked in a firm tone.
Sally just smiled. She found it amusing when he began rambling on for no apparent reason.
"What are you staring at?" Wufei asked, blinking in confusion.
Sally jumped a little. "Huh? Oh.nothing."
"Really?" he began looking her head to toe in confusion.
Sally slipped by him and grasped the mouse of the computer with her right hand.
Wufei jumped towards her. "What are you doing?" he asked wanting to know, while giving a glare of sturdiness. She returned the glare.
"I am checking the mail. You know the thing that sent you heaving backwards." She smirked. She knew what was coming.
"I did not! The chair must have broken."
Wufei crossed his arms. He knew there was no use in trying to win. Sally continued on in checking the e-mail.
"Hm. So how about it?" she asked.
"How about what?" Wufei looked at her awkwardly.
"This is a message from Miss Relena and Dorothy. We are invited to a reunion. Now, do you want to join in on it or not?" Sally turned towards him, waiting for his reply.
Finally, a few moments later it came.
"Of course. E-mail them back and tell them we'll be leaving tomorrow." He smiled. He knew this reunion had trouble written all over it. But, he still had to go. The trouble put the fun in it.
Sally looked at him with caring eyes. Though he didn't notice. He sat down and continued to his work.
*Meanwhile with Trowa and Catherine*
Trowa and Catherine were packing up from their last performance at the circus.
Catherine was in feeding the animals. Trowa was doing the usual. He sat down and watched Cathy as she fed the animals. Catherine turned as she noticed Trowa sitting there. She smiled as she thought of how cute he was when gazing at something with deep thought. She slowly approached him.
"Hey. You alright?" asked Catherine in a caring tone.
"Huh? Oh yeah. I'm fine. Just thinking." He replied in a natural tone.
"Ok. I'll leave you and your deep thought." She said while looking at him weirdly.
"I didn't mean it that way." He grabbed her arm.
"Huh?" A small boy walked over towards them.
"Here. It's a message from a Miss Relena?" he handed Catherine the note.
Catherine took the note from the young boy and read through it thoroughly. Suddenly, she looked up at Trowa.
"Trowa. Were invited to a reunion." She turned towards him.
"Great. A.tell her our answer is yes." He replied.
They both continued wit their work while giggling at each other.
*Meanwhile with Duo and Hilde*
In a little repair shop, was Hilde and Duo.
Hilde was standing in a corner while typing on the computer. Duo walked in and plopped on the couch. He had grease all over his clothes and hands. Hilde and him had bought and opened a repair shop together.
"Hey. What are you doing babe?" Duo questioned with a big smile. She turned, noticing him on the couch.
"I just had that couch cleaned!" she yelled while pointing at the couch.
"You did? Why? It sure doesn't look like it." He replied while rubbing the arm rest.
"Hmp. I happened to like that couch! And you! You're getting grease all over it!" Hilde glared at his clothes and sighed.
Duo jumped up and walked over to her.
"I'm sorry hon. I was just kicking back." He slowly began kissing her while leaning back on the computer.
Suddenly, the computer spoke saying: You've got Mail. Duo jumped back in reaction and hit the ground rolling.
"Honey. It's just the computer." She began giggling at Duo's actions. Duo looked up to Hilde and smiled.
"Yeah, I knew that." He wiped his head of the sweat and got up.
"It's an invitation to another party. From Relena. She's holding a reunion ball." She looked over to Duo impatiently waiting for a response.
"Huh? Oh, right. Yeah were going apparently." He got up and motioned to the bathroom to take a shower. He removed his clothes and jumped in.
"So I guess I'll write her and tell her yes." Hilde looked over to the bathroom and an evil smirk crossed her face. She got up off the chair and entered the bathroom.
*Meanwhile with Heero*
Heero was sitting in a little corner on the shuttle. He was headed to Earth to return to his last mission. Relena. He was due to arrive in approximately another hour.
He was, as usual, sitting there hacking into simple systems on his laptop. He entered to his destination. Files popped up to the screen, followed by many pictures of different people. A message suddenly, interrupted the program.
Heero grunted abruptly and clicked the mail icon. A message appeared onto the screen.
"Hm. Who would e-mail me now?"
The file opened and revealed a letter from the Sank Kingdom.
"A letter from." Heero paused and sighed. "Relena." He slowly began gazing off, like every other time he thought of Relena.
He had been assigned to protect her ever since MarieMaia. That had already been close to two years that had long passed. He had seen her, sure many times. It's just she didn't know. You could say he was staying in her shadows. He wanted to see her when she could acknowledge his presence.
"Hm..she's holding a reunion? Why?" Heero stopped and sighed before continuing.
"I mine as well attend. I'm going to be there anyway. Now I just have to actually meet her in person. No more shadow walking."
Heero sighed and began writing Relena giving his short response. Which read:
Dear Relena, Sure. Heero He sent the mail and returned back to his work, while still on his way to the Sank Kingdom.
*Meanwhile, at the Sank Kingdom*
45 minutes later.
Relena was sitting at her desk in her office. Her face was in her hands of torturing boredom.
Suddenly
*A/N: Is it just me or are there a lot of suddenly? Well anywho back to the fic.*
Suddenly, Dorothy walked in unknowingly. She paused and walked over to the dazed Relena.
"Miss Relena, are you ok?" she gazed at Relena and then changed her gaze to where Relena's was. Dorothy waved her hands around in front of Relena's face to try to get her to realize that she was standing there. But nothing happened. She didn't even blink in reaction.
"Miss Relena. Come in Relena." Dorothy gazed again at what was so interesting. Dorothy pulled her stare to the window at Heero pulling. A smile crossed her face. Relena was going to be so happy.
"Miss Relena, Heero Yuy has just arrived. Miss Relena? Didn't you get sleep last night?" She asked.
"Huh? Oh Dorothy. Um.no I don't recall that I did. Not even a wink." She placed her hand over her mouth and yawned.
"Why? You know that isn't healthy."
Relena rolled her eyes as Heero walked in.
"What's not healthy?" he asked while putting his bag down.
He turned to Relena and saw the bags that were under her eyes.
"Relena." He murmured in a weak voice. He stepped over to her and shook his head.
"Huh?" Relena turned and jumped a little to see Heero standing next to her.
"Oh! Heero! I..I didn't see you come in. "She quickly rose from her seat, but was forced right back down by Heero.
Relena smiled a little to se Heero. She than turned her gaze to her computer after it made a weird noise.
"No! No no no! This cannot be happening! Not now!
Dorothy and Heero turn their glances to the computer which read across the screen: Deleting Files.
"No! I just spent twenty-four hours in those! ARG!" Relena took a breath and put her hands to her forehead. Dorothy walked over and sighed.
"On what exactly?" She asked.
"Oh. The Committee Report. Those papers are needed for tomorrow's meeting at eight o'clock. But I'll cancel that for the reunion." Dorothy glanced at Heero.
He had leaned down and had begun typing something on Relena's computer.
Heero stopped and looked up at the young blondes in satisfaction.
"There." He replied rather smoothly.
Relena and Dorothy gazed at the screen. He had stopped the files from deleting and had begun reloading them.
Relena stood and gave him a hug.
"Thank you so much Heero. You're a life saver." She gazed up at him in aw.
Heero's cheeks flushed a little.
"Looks as if you saved the day again. Well done Mr. Yuy." Replied Dorothy cunningly.
Heero set Relena down and stepped back.
"Hmp.next time be a little more cautious." He stared at Relena which meant it was directed to her.
"Huh?" Relena began blushing in embarrassment.
"Oh right, No problem. I think?" Relena glared at the ground a little unsure.
"Now. Relena, you need some tea and food." Heero turned to the door.
"Paygan!" He yelled calling for the butler.
Just then Paygan, Relena's butler, walked in with a tray that consisted of three glasses of tea and some toast. Paygan handed the tray to Heero and stepped back.
"Thank you Paygan." Heero replied while distributing the drinks and food.
"No worries Master Yuy. About time someone forced this girl to eat." Paygan winked at Heero and smiled a warm smile.
"It's nice to have you back Master Yuy." Paygan glanced at Relena who sending annoyed glares.
Relena cut in before anyone had a chance to discuss anything else about her.
"Paygan? Is everything and everyone preparing for the ball?" Relena questioned. Paygan turned to his mistress and smiled.
"Of course Miss Relena." At that Paygan exited leaving the three young teens to continue.
Heero turned to Relena.
"Yes the ball." Heero replied in his usual tone.
*A/N: You know the tone he uses whenever talking to... To . Alright, to anyone.*
"Yes. She thought it was about time we all, including you and the guys, got together. It's been awhile." Replied Dorothy.
Heero picked one of the pieces of toast and put it into Relena's mouth.
"Eat it. You need to get some meat on that figure." He replied looking slowly head to toe.
" I leave you for so long on your own and look what happens. You become anorexic, you decide you don't need rest, and you work yourself to the bone."
Relena smiled as she began chewing. It felt good to have someone looking out for you.
The way Heero did.
"It's good to have you back." Relena replied finishing her food.
Dorothy giggled a little.
"You two are quite amusing." She replied while walking out.
"I'll leave you two to catch up. Besides I've got work to do." Dorothy walked out leaving the teens alone.
"Drink your tea." Ordered Heero, breaking the quietness.
Relena turned to Heero wide eyed.
"Tea? What happened to good old coffee?" She asked sternly.
"Coffee contains stimulants. You shouldn't rely on stimulants. Besides, tea is good for you and is better for you in the mornings."
Heero handed her the tea.
"Heero? You didn't come back because of my party, did you?" Relena looked at him worried.
Heero turned and his gaze returned to his normal cold, but caring glare.
"No. I'm here to complete a mission that I should have never left." Heero looked at her.
Deep into her eyes. His ice cold Persian eyes changed to a way Relena had never seen them before.
"Oh. And what would that be?"
"To protect you."
Relena stared a little than remembered.
"Oh. Heero? My brother asked me to tell you to report to his office. He said something about a mission." Relena replied while looking into his eyes.
*A/N: Awww!! You gottta love the mushy stuff.*
Heero sighed and looked away.
"Alright you stay here. Better yet get to your room and freshen up. I'll be back in a minute."
Heero let go of Relena's arms and headed to Milliardo's office.
Heero walked down the long hall and stopped at an office door. Before he could knock, Milliardo had opened the door. Heero walked in, closing the door behind him. He turned around to see Milliardo sitting in a rather expensive office desk and drinking some Brandi. Milliardo turned and smiled at the young Gundam pilot.
"Oh. So you've decided to join me?" Milliardo said slyly.
"Huh? Nice to see you too." Heero replied sarcastically. "Was that a joke? Ha! Very funny." Milliardo said a little rudely.
"Huh? That? Oh.sure." He replied in his usual tone.
"Anyway, let's get right down to business. I know were not too fond of each other, but I think it's about time you moved in. I mean so you can succeed in your mission. Things are peaceful, too peaceful. You know what that means." Replied Milliardo.
"Yeah. Somebody is up to something." Added Heero. "I think it would be much safer for Relena if you were around all the time. You're the only one I trust around her." Milliardo shot an evil glare out of the corner of his eye.
"As much as I hate you being anywhere near my sister, she trusts you. And that's enough for you to gain my trust. And for me trust you." Milliardo stared at Heero waiting for a comment.
"Huh? Well."
Heero's face turned a little red.
"Thanks. Mission accepted. I will move in as soon as possible. But answer this. Who do you think is coming up with the next scheme." Heero looked over to Milliardo.
"I've already sent for all of your belongings."
Heero smiled.
"I should have figured as much."
"And as it goes for the enemy..I'm just as clueless as you. But we've got to be prepared for anything."
Suddenly, the video phone rang. Milliardo answered it revealing Lady Une. Heero and Milliardo looked at each other and changed into serious mode.
"Une? Is something wrong?" Milliardo looked over to the opened door. There stood Noin.
"Yes. We have just received word of a revolt against peace. I'm sorry to say that the culprits are unknown. But be on full alert. Yes, I see Noin has arrived, along with Mr. Yuy. I suspect the rest of the Gundam pilots are in their way?" Une stopped as Noin walked in and stood next to Milliardo.
"Yes they are all currently on their way." Heero replied.
"Good. Well, I've got a client. But, be careful."
The phone turned off, leaving the room speechless.
"Noin. You."
Milliardo was cut off by Noin.
"Zechs. Don't. Come on. We've been through this."
"If that is all, I am going to go and start my next mission." Heero headed to the door.
"Oh. And Heero.don't get too close to my sister."
Heero smiled and left the two lovers to their peace and headed back to the room.

Relena smiled as she began chewing. It felt good to have someone looking out for you.
The way Heero did.
"It's good to have you back." Relena replied finishing her food.
Dorothy giggled a little.
"You two are quite amusing." She replied while walking out.
"I'll leave you two to catch up. Besides I've got work to do." Dorothy walked out leaving the teens alone.
"Drink your tea." Ordered Heero, breaking the quietness.
Relena turned to Heero wide eyed.
"Tea? What happened to good old coffee?" She asked sternly.
"Coffee contains stimulants. You shouldn't rely on stimulants. Besides, tea is good for you and is better for you in the mornings."
Heero handed her the tea.
"Heero? You didn't come back because of my party, did you?" Relena looked at him worried.
Heero turned and his gaze returned to his normal cold, but caring glare.
"No. I'm here to complete a mission that I should have never left." Heero looked at her.
Deep into her eyes. His ice cold Persian eyes changed to a way Relena had never seen them before.
"Oh. And what would that be?"
"To protect you."
Relena stared a little than remembered.
"Oh. Heero? My brother asked me to tell you to report to his office. He said something about a mission." Relena replied while looking into his eyes.
*A/N: Awww!! You gottta love the mushy stuff.*
Heero sighed and looked away.
"Alright you stay here. Better yet get to your room and freshen up. I'll be back in a minute."
Heero let go of Relena's arms and headed to Milliardo's office.
Heero walked down the long hall and stopped at an office door. Before he could knock, Milliardo had opened the door. Heero walked in, closing the door behind him. He turned around to see Milliardo sitting in a rather expensive office desk and drinking some Brandi. Milliardo turned and smiled at the young Gundam pilot.
"Oh. So you've decided to join me?" Milliardo said slyly.
"Huh? Nice to see you too." Heero replied sarcastically. "Was that a joke? Ha! Very funny." Milliardo said a little rudely.
"Huh? That? Oh.sure." He replied in his usual tone.
"Anyway, let's get right down to business. I know were not too fond of each other, but I think it's about time you moved in. I mean so you can succeed in your mission. Things are peaceful, too peaceful. You know what that means." Replied Milliardo.
"Yeah. Somebody is up to something." Added Heero. "I think it would be much safer for Relena if you were around all the time. You're the only one I trust around her." Milliardo shot an evil glare out of the corner of his eye.
"As much as I hate you being anywhere near my sister, she trusts you. And that's enough for you to gain my trust. And for me trust you." Milliardo stared at Heero waiting for a comment.
"Huh? Well."
Heero's face turned a little red.
"Thanks. Mission accepted. I will move in as soon as possible. But answer this. Who do you think is coming up with the next scheme." Heero looked over to Milliardo.
"I've already sent for all of your belongings."
Heero smiled.
"I should have figured as much."
"And as it goes for the enemy..I'm just as clueless as you. But we've got to be prepared for anything."
Suddenly, the video phone rang. Milliardo answered it revealing Lady Une. Heero and Milliardo looked at each other and changed into serious mode.
"Une? Is something wrong?" Milliardo looked over to the opened door. There stood Noin.
"Yes. We have just received word of a revolt against peace. I'm sorry to say that the culprits are unknown. But be on full alert. Yes, I see Noin has arrived, along with Mr. Yuy. I suspect the rest of the Gundam pilots are in their way?" Une stopped as Noin walked in and stood next to Milliardo.
"Yes they are all currently on their way." Heero replied.
"Good. Well, I've got a client. But, be careful."
The phone turned off, leaving the room speechless.
"Noin. You."
Milliardo was cut off by Noin.
"Zechs. Don't. Come on. We've been through this."
"If that is all, I am going to go and start my next mission." Heero headed to the door.
"Oh. And Heero.don't get too close to my sister."
Heero smiled and left the two lovers to their peace and headed back to the room.
