When The Waltz Ends: Part 2

The minutes turned to hours, hours to days, and days to weeks.
Everyone was happy for they thought that peace had finally came. But
the question on everyone's mind was, "Will it last?"

Quatre and Dorothy

"Quatre," asked Dorothy. They were sitting on the dunes around
his base looking at the stars that twinkled in the sky. "Did you ever
wonder if the stars hold people that have long since been gone."

"It could always be a possiblilty, although I've never been
that big on the stars. I prefer the Earth, there is nothing as
exquisite as the Earth."

"I could argue with you on that but I won't." She snuggled up
close to him and rested her head on his shoulder. He responded by
pulling her tighter and squeezing her hand.


Duo and Hilde

"C'mon, that was a deliberate foul, are you blind ref?" shouted
a very worked up Duo from his spot on the couch. Two of his favorite
colony teams were playing each other and in his opinion the referee
was missing all the foul calls.

"Relax Duo, it's just a game," soothed Hilde, coming in with a
drink for both of them. She settled down on the couch beside him and
thought to herself, "he can get so worked up over nothing sometimes."
She turned and looked at the T.V. just in time to see the referee miss
a call on obvious traveling. "What the, what an idiot. That was a
travel, how could he miss it!" she screamed.

Duo smirked and remarked, "relax Hilde, it's just a game."
Hilde glared and hit him with the pillow to her right. Thus began a
pillow fight to end all fights.


Wufei and Sally


"Why did we have to get a mission now, its two days before
Easter, you think they would have some compassion." Sally was raging
while Wufei stood there grinning at her fury. "What are you grinning
at, I thought you were tired of the missions too."

"I am, but I enjoy seeing you angry, you get all red and steam
starts coming out of your ears," he replied taking her anger in with
good humor.

"Why I oughta," she screamed and lept on him. However instead
of beating him up, she kissed him senseless, only stopping when his
hair got in the way. "Blech, why did i ever tell you to keep your hair
down," she commented.

"I know, your exact words were, "Wufei, keep your hair down,
when you do you look sooooooo sexy." He teased and she blushed from
the memory.


Heero and Relena

"Heero, why did you always run from me?" asked Relena. They
were sitting outside looking at the gardens.

"I was scared that you would mess up my missions because I
couldn't concentrate when you were around," he replied.

"Oh, all that time I thought it was because you found me
annoying."

"Relena, the only thing I ever found you as was irresistable,
I never thougnt of you as annoying."

"I'm glad," she said and took his hand in hers. They gazed
over the lake to where a tiny rose garden was layed. Like a rose their
love would be forever.


Trowa and Catherine

Since that first day when Trowa had come home, him and
Catherine hadn't talked much. If anything, he seemed to avoid her.
It was almost more than she could take.

"Was what he said just from the stress of battle," she thought
to herself. She let a solitary tear roll down her face before she
finished scrubbing her knife.

Trowa watched her from the lions cage. He still was unnerved
from admitting his deepest feelings to her. He wondered if he was
wrong in staying away from her. He heard his sob and it just about
broke his heart.

The tears brimmed and threatened to overflow in her eyes. It
got so bad that she dropped the knife for fear of cutting herself from
not being able to see. Her shoulders shooked as her sobs increased.
Suddenly from behind she felt strong arms wrap around her and a
soothing voice murmur that it was alright.

"Trowa," she breathed.


Preventers Headquarters

"Not now, we do not need this right now," shouted a frustrated
Lady Une. She had just recieved word that a new force was rising up in
the darkest recesses of Earth. One that threatened the peace of
everyone. Making a decision she called all the Gundams one by one.
The message she left was, "the Gundams are needed once more. Come to
the Preventers."


Duo and Hilde

"Duo, where are you going," asked Hilde allowing the hurt to
register in her voice. She had come home to find him packing his bags.

"Oh, Hilde, Lady Une called, the Gundams are needed."

"So thats it, your just leaving," she anwered incredously. He
gave her a hurt look.

"What kind of a person do you think I am Hilde, your bags are
already packed."

"Oh, Duo, I'm sorry, I should have trusted you, when do we
leave?"

"Now," he answered swinnging his bag over his shoulder. He
went into her room and grabbed the bag he had packed for her. They
left in silence.


Trowa and Catherine

He hadn't said much, but she knew he cared. After that night
where he had held her while she cried he had stopped avoiding her. She
walked to his trailer and was surprised to see him packing his bags.

"I've been called to fight again." He didn't even turn around.

"Have you told the Manager?"

"Yes, we are welcome to leave anytime we choose to, providing
that the Earth and Colonies need us."

"We?" asked Katherine, clearly confused.

"Yes, we, you're coming too, pack your bags."


Heero and Relena

"You're leaving again Heero?"

"Yes, I have been called to fight again."

"I'm coming with you."

"I know," he replied. Relena looked at him confused. He never
agreed to her coming along on dangerous missions!

"I'll go pack my bags."


Quatre and Dorothy

Dorothy awoke to hear the mournful wail of Quatre's violin.

"They are calling us to fight again, I'm bringing you with me."
Dorothy nodded and went to pack her things. A sad melody trailed
behind her.
