Relena walks into the locker room, and leans against the wall. Sighing, she thinks to herself, 'Dorothy has to control her anger. It was harder for me to throw the match. Anyone paying close attention could have noticed.' She stands alert, hearing someone walking down the hall. Relena peeks out as the person opens the door to the gym where the fencing matches were being held, and all she sees is long platinum blonde hair. 'He has hair like Milliardo.'
"Why do you care? You're leaving!" An eight year old Relena screams at a thirteen year old Milliardo Peacecraft, as she pounds his chest and pushes him away from her. Her brother grabs her shoulders and growls out, "Relena! I have to go! I can't do anything for you just sitting around waiting for them to kick me out! Stop being such a needy child!" "STOP BEING SO DAMN SELFISH!!" Milliardo eyes slightly widen in surprise from the malice in his little sister's voice, and the hatred flashing in her eyes, "You just can't handle being constantly rejected by these people who come by the orphanage! Well guess what!?! I have to deal with it too…" Relena looks down as tears continue to fall down her face, mixing with the rain pulsing down on their heads. Milliardo stares at her, then kisses her on forehead and turns his back. "One day you'll understand." And with that last statement, he was gone.
Relena Dorlian blinks away the tears threatening to form, and snorts in disgust, "For his sake, that'd better not be him."

"Wow Quatre. You're good," Catherine muses. With a slight blush, Quatre modestly nods in appreciation as he comes back from his fencing match with Dorothy, "Thanks Catherine." Duo comes and playfully claps him on the back, "Yeah Q-man, is…well…the man, at fencing." Catherine laughs at this, while Tori tries to contain it. She quickly composes herself, and asks, "Where is Relena?" At that moment Relena walks in wearing a black leotard and her daisy dukes she wore earlier, looking around for something. "She doesn't look like a happy camper now does she?" Trowa asks. The rest of Team 7 nods in agreement.
Team 5 walks over at the end of the fencing category. Dan holds his hand out to Duo, "Hi, name's Dan, Dan Mayweather, and this seemingly anti-social young lady is my cousin, Sally Po." Sally just nods in acknowledgment. Hilde rolls her eyes at her, steps up and beams at Quatre, "So I assume you five guys came here together since you wouldn't shut up about the parking space." Quatre laughs and replies, "Yes. I'm Quatre Raberba Winner, this is Trowa Barton, and the guy with the braid is Duo Maxwell." At the introduction, Duo takes her hand and kisses it, "Nice to meet ya pretty lady." Hilde blushes as Dorothy pushes her, "Snap out of it." She then turns to Quatre, clearly irritated, and exclaims, "I want a rematch pretty boy." Trowa strolls over and puts a hand on a surprised Quatre's shoulder, "He'll take you on as many times as it takes for you to beat him." Dorothy's frowns as her face turns slightly red, making Duo, Hilde, and Dan try hard to refrain from laughing in her face. Relena walks over at the same time, and goes straight toward Tori, brings her up out of her chair, and drags her over to interrupt the group and sace Dorothy further embarrassment, "This is Tori Wesley, and I'm Relena Dorlian. Pleasure," she ends sarcastically. Heero and Wufei glare at her, then hold out their hands to shake hers, "Nice to meet you, properly." This causes an eyebrow raise from the blonde, then a mischievous smirk, "I know, right?" With a wink she turns her back on them and sits back down. Dan pipes in noticing the vile look in Dorothy's eyes, "So! Who's doing gymnastics?" "Us!" Catherine jumps in while pulling Trowa with her, "We were star acrobats at our circus, so this is no problem!"
