By AnimeGuera

Full Summary: Heero saves Relena when there was no danger and he messes up her night. His actions lead them onto a boat in the middle of the ocean, without any way to reach land quickly. The Global Positioning System was damaged while Heero "saved" Relena and they don't know where they are. Where are they headed? The land used to be known as Mexico.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing or the song Amor a La Mexicana by Thalia.
The beautiful black silky dress now lay forgotten and trampled on the floor; the bloody cloth bandages still adorned Relena's body. A new mat was added to the decor of the room. It was one of the two rooms in the hut with walls of stone and log pillars. A chair sat against the wall next to the only bed in the room. The bed was a large lumpy mattress lain on the floor. Relena stood, wrapped in a towel, at the edge of the room, away from the invisible door. Although, the door was nonexistent, a body of a man stood there. His black jacket, damp, was facing Relena. Heero did not budge an atom as Relena sought secondary clothing from the other woman in the room. Her eyes twinkled with joy, as she shared her smile with Relena. Her long black hair fell over her shoulder and twirled as he back too faced Relena.
Relena took the red and white garments. Her face struggled to hide puzzlement. The fluffy red shirt was entirely too large on her. She held out the red garment in front of her. The shirt transformed into a long skirt. Relena stepped into it with little difficulty only with doubt. The white garment glided over her head and slid onto her shoulders. The soft cotton tickled her shoulders and fell to her arms, leaving her shoulders to the open air. Slipping into sandals, Relena stepped toward the man door and tapped his shoulder slightly. This action provided no reaction and she decidedly shoved his shoulder. Before Heero reacted, the woman came behind Relena and stuck a bright red flower into her damp curling hair above her left ear.
Heero's head turned first, his eyes caught glint as they catch the bright colors. The rest of his body turned slowly. No smile on his face, no words from his mouth. The glint in his eyes disappeared, but he tucked a loose curl behind the delicate flower. He backed out of the doorway, letting Relena pass, his gaze not leaving her body for a millisecond. Relena slowly, her eyes on the floor, walked out of room. Her eyes slowly studied Heero's reluctant attire.
Heero frowned in disapproval but said nothing. Relena's smile grew to a small giggle as she eyed Heero from his wet mane to his pointy boots. He wore skin tight black pants, extremely tight. His Preventer jacket hid a dark blue button up shirt, as well as a black vest with silver lining. His pointed boots seemed to be made from some kind of animal skin. Relena's giggles filled the void of sound.
Her laughter ceased but the smiled remained plastered on her face. Her golden locks of hair hiding part of her face. Relena's eyes looked up at Heero's eyes. All ridiculous garments were forgotten as she just found blue eyes in her gaze. Heero smirked and walked away from Relena's intent gaze. He stepped out of the room, outside of the house. The woman who gave them garments to wear stood next to a large black old fashioned stove. The woman stirred something on the stove and hummed an unfamiliar tune.
Relena took a long glance at the peculiar woman. Her skin was dark, darker than anybody she had ever known. The woman's black hair resembled the darkest places in space, where the stars are too far to see the light. Heero waltzed back into the doorway. He stood leaned against the wall, holding himself and the wall up. His eyes were clear and blue. The sea was calm…
His voice spoke softly, surprising. "The coast line goes on for kilometers." A simple sentence.
The little mischievous boy ran into the room without remorse and yelled with all his little young lungs could muster. "Mami!! Tengo hambre!!" The loud voice did not disturb the woman. She smiled and turned.
"Sientate y lavate las manos." She simple said as she held out two plates to Relena and Heero. They both held smoking food, not at all recognizable by space pioneers. "Tienen hambre?" She smiled and handed a plate to Heero. Relena followed the woman and her food towards a clearing on the floor. She set the plate down and gestured for Relena to follow. Without hesitation, Relena smiled and sat down on the floor, her skirt folding underneath her legs uncomfortable. Her smiled faded when the woman turned her back. Her eyes searched for Heero, and found him opposite of her on the floor. His eyes looked back but said nothing. No words. No smiles.
A sickly looking brown goo sat on her plate. It bubbled with heat. Orange colored rice steamed next to the boiling goo. Heero had no difficulty in spooning the food into his mouth. He quietly devoured the entire contents on his plate. Relena quietly spooned a glop of the goo into her mouth and surprisingly smiled at the flavor. She spooned another bit and enjoyed it een more. Soon, her plate was empty of the food and her stomach had become full with home cooked food.
The young boy sat silently also devouring his food with vigor. "Mami!" He held out his plate to his mother. "Puedo jugar?" The mother nodded and took the plate from his hands. He ran off in a hurry and skid to the front door. It opened to reveal a young girl who stood patiently waiting. Her smile grew as they both ran off outside together, holding hands.
Heero took his empty plate to the small kitchen and set it on the barren counter. Relena continued to consume the delicious meal as Heero stood at the doorway watching her. The mother took no notice of his lack of presence or his ever watching eyes. As Relena finished her food, the mother simply took her plate and stood to take it where Heero had laid his. Relena continued to stay on the floor, unsure of what action to take next Heero's eyes were fiercely locked on her body. She smiled as she realized the clothes he was wearing. His eyes seemed to intensify, but it might have been Relena's imagination.
"It's time to leave." He said, not faltering in his gaze.
"We just got here. Can you simply relax for a minute?" Relena said as she stood from the floor and brushed off dust from her attire.
"You can relax. I'm going to search for outside communication." Heero's word didn't impact her immediately, as she simply stared at him. His body turned as he walked towards the door. He stopped to talk to the woman. His words sounded soft and unknown. The woman smiled and nodded. Heero handed her a few gold pieces. He nodded and walked towards the door where the two children had just ran off from.
Slowly, Relena assessed the situation. "Heero!" She yelled towards the door. She stomped towards his position. She grabbed his arm and attempted to fling him around to face her but failed and she simple held his arm. "Must I stay?"
"You're a liability. I'll be back. Concepción has promised to take you in for a few days." He said without turning and walked onto a dirt road that seemed to lead inland. Relena remained that position for a few minutes before the woman, Concepcion, stood next to her with wet hands. She smiled and look at her. Her smile didn't hide as her child ran up to hug her waist.
The sun was beginning to fall towards the horizon. The shadows began forming all around the area. Two women stood near the beach. Wind beginning to blow their hair wildly. The dark skinned woman smiled and walked inside. The blonde fair skin woman could only watch the dirt road. Her eyes stung and her smiled faded.
"Please come back, Heero." Her voice lost the winds.
