Make-Up Maid
By: AznxAngel
Relena had one night left at the house that she had lived in for 15 years of her life. She would miss it and all the occupants of the house too. She loved Millardo and his girlfriend Noin. They had raised her like a mother and father would and she was garteful to have them. She stood smiling out the window as she saw the sun begin to set slowly swallowed by the dark streaks of blue. 'By tomorrow night...I'm moving to the city and that will be my home. Living in a big expensive house working as a lowly maid. How wonderful. I swear brother, I will make the money faster and save you from those men. I swear it.'
"Where is the stunt man?!" A man in his early twenties shouted. His hair looked wild and untamed with eyes that struck mystery and fear into anyone who dared to look. He ran his hand through his hair and breathed deeply. Picking up the folder that had laid on his desk he hit one of the phone lines. "Dorothy, tell Duo that I'll do the stunt myself. Arrange for my car to be ready. We're going to the site live."
"Heero you have to be crazy...Lady Une wanted the stunt man for a reason. You can't go out there and jump off a cliff!" Duo was complaining as he drove a very pissed off looking Heero.
"Well Duo if you had been prepared earlier for the stunt man to come then he would be here and I wouldn't have to be doing it. Lady Une wanted the picutres of a man in a parachute for the cover of one of the new products. If we don't get that in you know what that means."
"Yea...yea...mission failed lighten up buddy! I mean you've never failed Une so what's wrong with missing it once? I mean you are her right hand man and she loves you to death. She'll forgive you. Besides we can put something else on the cover how about it?" Duo turned his eyes away from the road and turned his head to Heero in the passanger's seat. He was staring out at the landscape; how there was green everywhere and blurs of yellow from the occasional patches of flowers in the fields. Absent mindedly, Heero fiddled with the gold chain around his neck. Duo caught a glimpse of two rings hooked to the necklace.
"Hey Heero what's the rings for? Keeping it safe for your lover?" Duo winked.
"Shut up Duo. It was my mother and father's," and that was the end of it. Duo knew not to say anything more, he had already stepped on to unsteady grounds and moving further proved to be dangerous. All he did was let out a feeble "oh" and left it as that. In the silence they drove to the quiet side of the country looking for the perfect spot to take shots of the landing. Just then Duo heard his cell phone shrill in the awkward silence.
"Hello? Duo Maxwell here wut's up?" he smiled.
"Hey it's Quatre. I have the whole place set up. I'm up between the two tall oak trees planted at the top of the hills to your right. Turn on the next stop and keep going up alright? I'll be expecting you and Heero to be here soon." CLICK*
"Well looks like they found their spot. I'm gonna step on the gas," Duo said accelorating the speed. They raced fast down the dirt road reaching the top of the hill. Once the car stopped Heero jumped out and began to suit up for the jump.
"Heero are you sure you can direct the parachute? I heard it's not easy," Quatre said worry stricken. He turned to his partner Trowa Barton. Trowa shrugged lightly.
"If he's willing to for the company then I don't see why not," Quatre rolled his eyes while sighing in defeat. Trowa was always the loyal man. He had never left the company's side. Shaking his head he helped Heero put the pack on his back. Once he slipped it on Heero strapped the velcro together and buckled his helmet. He turned to the rest of the gang before he stepped up to the edge of the hill. Taking a deep breath he ran full speed towards the edge. Once his feet left the edge he put his feet on the steering bars.
"I'm going to do this."
Relena had just finished packing and today was the last day she would see in her hometown. She brought her two suit cases downstairs and went to visit his brother one last time. She slowly dragged her nervous body up the staircase and stood with her head drooped in front of his bedroom door. She softly knocked before entering.
"Noin, how is he?" The blue haired woman turned around and smiled.
"He's almost back on track sweetheart. Everything is fine," Relena smiled at her warm demenor. She sat herself on the edge of the bed where her brother lay in a soft sleep. Leaning close to his face she breathed a ragged breath.
"Millardo, when you wake I won't be here but don't worry. I'm sure the people will be kind and will treat me well. I swear I will have you out of your debt. Remember that I always love you." with that she placed a light kiss on his forehead before turning to Noin to hug her. She moved towards the door to and stood there for a minute. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. She will never forget the scent of her home. She will never forget every detail of it nor will she ever forget her brother and his girlfriend. She turned to see Noin tucking Millardo further into the covers. Relena sighed as an unnoticed tear slipped out of her eye. She was to leave and return a year later. 'I dont' think I can do it'
Heero reached into the side pocket of his pants as he soared above all the little houses and tree tops. He pulled out a black walkie talkie in a leather cover. He switched open a small panel and twisted the knob to the right number.
"Duo I'm on track. Are you taking the shots?" He asked. He heard some static and then a distant reply.
"Yea everything here is a-okay buddy!" Heero switched the communicator off and shoved it back in it's rightful place. He looked down at the landscape. It was breath takingly beautiful. The grass didn't have a spot of yellow and everything was lush and fresh, the air especially. He smiled inwardly, as he reached into his air suit to hold his necklace. At that moment the wind suddenly began to change. His parachute began to collapse from the top covering Heero's view of the land. His world was going around in a whirl. He could feel his body plummeting down to the earth at an ungodly speed.
Relena just stepped off of her property and closed the white gate doors. She never did before but now she did. She just loved looking at her house. They way the ivy grew up the sides of the house along the gutters. The way the sutters were a grey-blue. The way all of nature seemed to praise it. She blinked and put a hand up above her brow blocking out the afternoon sun. She squinted as a strong wind picked up causing a few strands of hair to blow in her face. She turned and picked up her two bags ready to leave when she heard something. She scrunched her brow as she heard it again. They sounded like shouts. It became louder and soon she heard what it was saying but then when she realized it was too late.
"LOOK OUT!" When she heard this and turned she came face to face with a man and a parachute. He fell hard on her. They both hit the dirt harshly. Heero let out a grunt of pain as the person he hit remained silent. He stood up disentangling his body from the parachute.
"I told you to move!" Heero shouted. Relena finally regained her composure and brushed the dirt off of her skirt as she stood.
"Excuse me sir but if I do recall you did just suddenly drop out of the sky. I think it's reasonable that looking up at the sky would be the last thing I would do." Heero just grunted as he turned away from the young woman. They stood in silence occasionally stealing looks at each other. Relena looked at him quizically. Heero saw in the distance two cars and Duo waving vigorously out the window.
"If you have any complaints about today find me at the Moonlight Make-Up and Designs Corperation." With that Heero spit on the grouned and opened the car door right before slamming it shut. Relena sneered at his disrespectful manner.
"What an ass!" She said before bending over to pick up her bags. She stopped dead in her tracks when something was glinting light in her eyes.
"What in the world?" she said as she skimmed the dirt with her fingers. She came across a gold chain with two rings. "Don't tell me this is his....how the hell am I going to give this back to him?"
Relena sighed as she trudged her long way to the train station.
"That's two. Two boots to the ass Relena. Two boots to the ass."
