Regretting Nothing - Part 12
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. But, would like to have the money the original creator made.
Author's Note: The time has come for Heero and the rest of the pilots to go forward. Sidney has decided to take a long over due vacation with her friends. Not to runaway again, but to be well rested to fight for her freedom and new life. There will be some fun stuff coming up because they will be observing her everyday life. The vacations she takes with her friends are like weird family vacations.
Sidney, Chris, Angie, and Steve finally arrived at the airport near Prince Rupert Island, Canada. However, Angie was not happy. While, Sidney, Chris, and Steve were having fun. As they unloaded the luggage.
"Sid, did you have to turn the plane like that? Have you lost your mind? What are you trying to do, kill me? I thought that I was going to be sick," asked Angie frantically. Sidney had decided to do some aerial tricks before they landed. Angie was by nature a very precautious person, therefore she was having fit.
"Are you kidding, Angie? That was cool!" exclaimed Chris with a large grin on his face.
"You are insane, Christopher Ryan!" shouted Angie.
"It was like a rollercoster ride! Wasn't it, Steve?" asked Chris looking at Steve. Steve nodded empathically.
"See. It wasn't that bad, Angie. You're still here safe and sound," Sidney said in a condescending tone.
"You are by far the most reckless person I have ever meet, Sidney Marquette. You also are the most sadistic person I have ever meet." Angie said folding her arms over her chest. Steve and Chris burst out laughing. Arguments like these were typically, the things Angie said were never really meant.
"Angie, I think you are making a big deal out of nothing," Chris said, which was big mistake.
"Why do you always take her side?" asked Angie accusing tone.
"I don't always take her side. I am just looking at this rationally. Honestly, you always overreact to everything, Angie," said Chris, his New York accent coming in stronger.
"Now, now. You two. Stop fighting," said Sidney who was acting as referee between the two. She was standing between them, slightly waving her arms. Of course, failing to stop them.
"Can't we take a vacation without having a fight?" asked Steve with his Louisiana twang.
"NO!" all three of them said in unison.

Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei arrived at Washington D.C., after making arrangements. The hotel that they were going to be using was the headquarters for their work. Heero was placed in charged by Lady Une. He would give the orders for everyone else to follow. The others didn't mind because Heero was the one who they suspected had the best chance of getting through to Relena.
Heero found out through the hospital that Sidney Marquette had gone on vacation. She left without telling where she was going. They checked around for flights, but found that there weren't any tickets under her name. Duo suggested that since she was a pilot, perhaps she would rent a plane to fly. They found nothing. However, they had her address, so that meant that they could at least see where she lived.
"We will set up surveillance on her. That is if she does come back," instructed Heero. That was the underlining fear. Maybe, Relena had gone one step ahead of them again. But, then again she was always one step ahead of them. This was true for the entire time.
"All of us will be on rotation. We also have to set up cameras and sound equipment in Relena's apartment," said Heero in a cold voice. His eyes were devoid of emotion.
"Wait? You mean you want us to put spy equipment in her apartment. Don't you think that's a little extreme?" asked Quatre, he had his eyebrow arched.
"No." responded Heero.
"But, that's an invasion of her privacy," insisted Quatre. It wasn't as if they were spying on an enemy. This was Relena. Their friend. At least, his friend. The rest of them didn't seem to have a problem with this. Heero gave Quatre an evil death glare. So, Quatre decided to drop it. Although, he still knew what they were doing was wrong.

Over the next few days, the Gundam pilots made more arrangements and focused on the task at hand. They found Relena's apartment in Georgetown. Heero, Quatre, and Duo were the ones who were going to go and break into her apartment.
"Wow," whistled Duo when he saw Relena's silver Mercedes in the garage. "She's definitely a doctor all right."
"Well, let's just put the cameras in here and get out," said Quatre. He wanted to do this a quickly as possible. He felt guilty enough already. He didn't want to compound his sin even more. There was just something wrong about this.
"Let's look around first," said Heero.
"Heero, don't you think it's enough that we put the cameras and the sound equipment," said Duo. Now, he was having reservations. He and Quatre looked at each other. Heero glared at both of them. So, both of them shrugged their shoulders and went along with him. They both knew better than to make Heero madder.
They got into the inside. Duo noticed the training post in the living room.
"I wonder why she would have this in her living room?" asked Duo.
"To practice. What else do you think it's for?" said Heero with a smirk on his face.
Quatre looked at the pictures in Relena's living room. He took note of the two people who were in all the pictures. There was young man who was quite tall with reddish-brown hair and deep blue eyes. He was very handsome, thought Quatre. As much as he hated to admit it, he seemed like the guy Relena could be with. There was a cute exotic girl who looked Asian but not quite. Quatre saw pictures of Relena, which were rare shots. Apparently, Relena didn't keep many pictures of herself in the apartment. There was a candid shot taken after a soccer game. Relena was obviously on the team and they had won some kind of championship against UCLA. There were shots taken at graduation. There are some shots of her in different locations. Different places around the world. From all indications, Relena was living a very different and exciting life from before. Quatre felt even guiltier.
Heero was also looking at the pictures in the living room. These were different from the modeling pictures; these were taken during her regular life. He looked specifically at the two people who were almost always present. His eyes narrowed when he saw the guy in the picture with an arm around Relena giving her bunny ears. He didn't know what he was feeling. But, it was boiling in his stomach, and increasing his blood pressure. Heero was unconsciously clutching his jaw.
Duo was watching Heero. He didn't like the fact that Heero was getting madder. Maybe, it was time to get to work. As much as he didn't want to it, he would rather do that, then watch Heero explode.
They looked over her files. They found her diploma, and mentions of her being on the chancellor's and dean's lists. They also found the old test results from the standardized testing. Heero looked at the MCAT scores that she had earned. There were books on different subjects and languages. Mostly medical books, but she had classical literature in its original languages. Duo admired her taste in music. Relena had an diverse taste in music, so there were so many different kinds. He also liked her sound system, that Chris had installed for her. Heero noticed that she didn't have a computer, or she took that with her. They found the birth announcement of Lena Peacecraft's birth. Quatre opened the drawer with the prescriptions in it, since his sister was a doctor; he knew what most of the drugs were prescribed for. Quatre quickly shut the drawer. Since, Heero was the bedroom. Quatre had decided to not tell Heero about the prescriptions. He refused to allow Heero to make things worse. Heero was making him into a truly dishonest person. Quatre felt that he could talk to Relena later himself.
Heero was in Relena's bedroom. It was strange for Heero. He never entered her bedroom until now. Not the bedroom in the Sank Kingdom or anywhere else.
The bed was king sized and made. He walked over to the walk through closet, and decided to look in there. It was filled with some very nice clothes. He could smell her scent in the there. It was a sweet lingering scent. It was mixed in with the potpourri in the closet. Heero found different kinds of shoes. Her feet were still small even if she was tall, he noted. She had different shoes, but not too many. The last drawer he opened was her underwear drawer. Which he quickly rifled through. If anyone saw him, they would have thought that he was embarrassed. There was nothing in the closet.
Heero went to the vanity table made of mahogany wood with a large mirror near the window. He found makeup, which consisted mostly of concealers. He thought that she must have preferred to wear a fresh natural look. Heero opened an antique jewelry box, given to her by Angie's parents as a graduation present, and found some thumb and toe rings. Interestingly, there weren't any earrings in the box; she must have had them with her. Heero recognized the belly ring in her jewelry box. It was the one used in some of the shots. The ones with bikinis or short tops. He noticed that Relena didn't have bikinis, but rather one pieces or tankinis. Her style was simple yet elegant. The apartment was a statement of her.
There was the bathroom to look through. He found some facial cleaners. He also learned that she had liked a mint-scented shampoo. Heero looked at the different bubble bath soaps and shower soaps. He opened a drawer with some feminine products and quickly closed it. There couldn't possible be anything in there.
He looked at the nightstand near the bed. It only had a lamp on it, and an old worn doll. It was just a stand, but it didn't have any drawers. Heero searched for more underneath the frame of the bed. Nothing. However, for some strange reason he felt closer to her more than he had ever been in the last five years.
Duo searched the kitchen. Sadly, there was no food, thought Duo. He didn't find a lot in the way of appliances. He did however found a lot of numbers for takeout. He also went to the garage and found a box of sports equipment and her bicycle.
"Hey, Quatre! She has boxing gloves!" shouted Duo. Duo looked through the box and found a soccer ball, jump rope, small dumbbells, and other things.
Heero came out of the bedroom after he decided to place only one camera and sound piece in the vanity. Duo and Quatre had already finished and were waiting for him. He had taken the longest. They made everything the way it was again, and since all of them were wearing gloves there was no worry about fingerprints. Heero worried about the lack of security in Relena's apartment. Then, he had the sudden thought that she wouldn't need one if he didn't break into it. He quickly disregarded that thought. It was for her protection that he broke in.
