Relena had called Sally to help her find a new life of her own, but even Sally didn't know about her predicament.
"Now, Relena, if you have any problems whatsoever, don't hesistate to call me. I will contact YOU once a month for half a year to check up on ya."
"I don't know how much I can thank you, you've just don't so much already." A small smile adorned Relena's face. They stayed silent for a while, but then Sally spoke up again.
"Relena, I hope you know what you're doing. I just can't see why anyone would want to do this-for any reason." Sally's face was completely serious.
"Sally, you just have no idea. Trust me, if you were in my shoes, this would seem like the logical choice."
"Okay. Now, you've got the address of your new home and of the job I got for you?"
Relena pulled a sheet of paper out of her purse which was sitting next to two suitcases. "Yes, right here. So, I'll be working as a secretary?"
"I'm old friends with the woman you'll be working for. As it happens, she will also be your new next-door neighbor. I've told her all about your former title and she promised never to tell anyone. She is the only one who knows who you are, so don't worry about anything coming out. Her trust is as good as mine," Sally reassured her.
"Her name is ..." Relena glanced down at the sheet. "Korina Marland, yes?" Sally nodded.
"Her husband's name is Peter Marland. You can talk to them about anything."
"How old is Korina?" Relena questioned.
"Peter and she are both twenty-three-" Sally was interrupted as the announcer called Relena's flight. "Go on." Relena smiled and nodded, then turned to leave. "Good luck," Sally smirked, then continued, "Lana Darlain." Relena stopped and turned back around.
"Sally, wait a sec." She pulled another piece of paper out of her purse. "I wrote this last night. Maybe you can give it to my brother and Noin for me?" Sally nodded and Relena boarded her flight for colony L2.
*~*~*~*
The next day:
Sally had waited some time before following through Relena's request. If she had done it any earlier, she could count on Milliardo beating it out of her and then jumping on the next flight to L2.
"Sally! How are you?" Noin greeted her.
"Well, actually, Relena asked me to give you something," Sally replied.
"Relena? You know where she is?" Noin was ecstatic.
"...Yes. But I can't tell you where. Don't tell Zechs, I don't want to die just yet. Here," Sally handed her the sheet of paper. "I'm gonna go now, before Zechs realizes I'm here." Noin smiled goodbye to her as she left the house.
*~*~*~*
Five mintues later:
Zechs and Noin were sitting in Zech's study. "Noin, please read it out loud." Noin nodded and began.
"To all those who read this: I don't want you to feel any worry, guilt or concern for me. I will be fine, and with my former line of work, how can you think I would be? I know the drill, and I have taken all appropriate measure needed. I love you, Relena.
Teen Years Meditation [1]
Looking in the mirror
I see to my surprise,
A completely different person
Staring deep into my eyes.
The carefree little girl
I saw at 4 or 5,
Has now become a young woman
Fighting to survive.
In a world filled with madness
That surrounds me every day,
It frightens me to think
I could be killed for what I say.
It scary
That time flies so fast
And what I used to call the present
Has now become my past.
And when I look in the mirror,
What I see looking back at me
Is the face of an aspiring young woman
Where the little girl used to be."
By the time Noin had finished reading, both she and Milliardo were in tears.
