When You Believe
By: Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey
{Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could}
"Listen to me, Heero! Even though you believe you can't do it, or you don't want to admit it, I know you
can destroy these people!" Relena cried out, tears welling up in her eyes.
Heero was leaving again for a new mission. This time, he was almost certain that he would loose against
these new MD…in fact, he was sure he and the other Gundam pilots wouldn't make it out alive.
"Relena, stop it. I know I won't come back." To you.
"No, Heero! You're afraid, isn't it? That's what you are…you're a coward then! You're afraid of
someone loving you!" Relena sniffed, then turned her back on him.
"Relena."
"Fine then. Be that way," she said, her voice cool and monotonous like his was most of the time. "I'll
pray that you and the other pilots come out alive, but I won't pray that you'll come back to me."
With that said, and a heavy heart, she took off down the park path and turned the corner, not bothering to
apologize to people she bumped into.
"Relena…why do you do this to me?" Heero muttered before going in the opposite direction. He glanced
once over his shoulder, but saw no smiling Relena behind him.
Sighing, he made his way to Duo's where they would meet up and collect their Gundams.
{There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will,
You will when you believe}
At Relena's home:
"Oh Heero…" she sobbed into her pillow, cuddling it. It was soaked with her tears, and she was twisted
in her satin peach bedsheets. "Why do you have to be so cold to me? Why can't you say those three words
I so want to hear? How hard is it to say 'I love you'?"
She looked out of her open balcony and saw five dots disappear like jewels in the black sky.
'Good luck, Gundam pilots. I wish you make it out alive,' she thought, and bit her lip from praying,
'come back alive, Heero…'
*****
On the battlefield:
Heero cringed as he turned Wing Zero around 180 degrees to face his attacker from behind. Pulling out
his Twin Buster Rifle. Blasting away three MD's, he roared in rage and went straight into the battle where
HeaveyArms and Sandrock were.
"Hey, Heero!" Duo's voice called from his Deathscythe. "Where do you think you're going? You need to
help me and WuFei here!"
"No, I don't…Trowa and Quatre need help…Trowa's soon out of bullets and Quatre's Sandrock still isn't
updated to the best mobility in space," Heero replied, trusting his Gundam forward. He took his beam
saber out and sliced through a few, limiting the new enemies number rapidly.
Once they were all destroyed or retreated, he panted, sitting in his Gundam, not saying anything.
"Heero?"
Not answering Duo's call, he stared out at space.
'So quiet…Relena…I—I…' He thought, then shook his head.
"She's right, I am afraid of her love."
{In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say}
When the pilots came back to Earth, they were greeted by many people: Millardo, Noin, Sally, Catherine,
Dorothy, Hilde, and Relena.
Catherine went straight to Trowa and fussed over his hair which was slightly drooping. Sally went to
WuFei and tried talking to him, but he kept muttering, "shut up, woman". Dorothy and Quatre hugged
and were talking quietly. Hilde jumped onto Duo's back who laughed and gave her a ride on his back to
Noin's waiting truck.
Heero waited for Relena to come up to him, smile and try to hold hands, but she never did. He realized
she was talking to Quatre and Dorothy; Millardo was actually glaring at them instead of HIM. Noin was
sympathetically at Heero, but he decided he didn't need her pain.
He was the Perfect Soldier.
'Oh, Relena…why are you doing this? Don't you see that…' He stopped, a pain through his heart,
numbing it. 'Don't you see I love you?'
{There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will,
You will when you believe}
That Night at Quatre's mansion:
Relena smiled and nodded her head as she listened to Duo blab about something that happened on the
battlefield.
She wasn't paying atttention, but gazing out into space. Her thoughts were on one person, one person
only.
"Relena."
His voice echoed into her mind, etched in her heart forever. His voice sent chills down her spine and his
gaze sent her mind into orbit.
'Oh, heero…how come you can't say you love me? I know you do, but please….say it! I need to hear it
from you!' She thought angrily.
"Duo, excuse me, I think I need some fresh air," she interrupted.
"Sure, Lena…take your time," Duo said off handly, not mad for her stopping him mid-sentence.
Stepping outside onto the terance, Relena sighed and watched the stars twinkle down on her.
"Nice night, huh?"
A chill went down her spine.
"Heero." She said, not turning around.
"Relena."
'There can be miracles…' a voice in her mind told her.
{They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see you way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near}
"Relena, I need to tell you something." Heero began uncertainly. 'Would she reject me? That's what I'm
afraid of. I'm worried I won't stop loving her to the day I die…'
"Go ahead, Heero…I'm listening."
"Could, um…could you pl—please face me?" He stuttered.
Puzzled, Relena turned around and laid back on the iron rail. Placing her foot high on the stone border,
she asked him to continue with a look on her face.
"Relena, you need to hear everything out, okay?" Heero licked his dry lips nervously and ran a hand
through his still messy hair.
Nodding, Relena sighed and looked back up at the sky. "Heero, I don't have all night, you know."
Nodding dumbly, Heero began, "Relena, even since I saw you on the beach, you've always been a light in
my life. I can't even begin to explain how you make me feel whenever I'm around you, or what you are to
me. All I know is, is that I want to spend the rest of my life with you, till the die I die because…Relena
Peacecraft, I love you."
Apon hearing these words, Relena's foot slipped and she nearly tumbled head-first to the ground but
steadied herself.
She walked up to Heero, placed her hands on his shoulders and looked into his eyes, "say that again,
looking at me, right in my eyes."
Heero took another breath and blinked once before reapeating, "I love you, Relena Peacecraft."
Relena searched his face for any trace of a joke, but there was none. She then smiled up at him and kissed
him on the lips softly and quickly.
"I love you too, Heero."
