"Do you have the basket?" Quatre asked.
"Check," Duo said and lifted it up for Quatre to see. Quatre nodded. He turned to Hilde.
"Sun block and towels?" he asked. Hilde nodded.
"It's taken care of," she assured him. Quatre smiled. He turned and looked at Relena and Dorothy who were talking. Relena had a stupid grin on her face and Quatre caught Dorothy just in time to see her mouth wide open with shock and her hand covering it. Relena stood and helped Dorothy up. It was apparent Dorothy was in shock.
"Are you ready?" Quatre asked the two. Relena smiled and nodded; Dorothy nodded just slightly. "Good, Then lets get going." Relena was the first out the door. Dorothy grabbed Quatre's arm and pulled him behind everyone else.
"Do you know what's she's going to do when we get back?" Dorothy asked Quatre. He shook his head. "She's going to quit her job and take up gardening!" Quatre's mouth dropped.
"You're kidding. She's not going to be the Vice-foreign minister anymore!" he yelped.
"Yes! She says since she's changing everything else in her life, why not change her occupation!" Dorothy explained. "This may be good for her to do something like that. I want to know, though, who has been putting these thoughts into her head."
"So do I," Quatre agreed.
"Come on slow pokes!" Relena cried and stuck head back in the room. "We're waiting for you in the car. Well, I am anyway. Duo and Hilde have, er, found their own entertainment," Relena grinned then began laughing. Quatre chuckled a little and Dorothy smiled.
"Yes, then we better end that!" Dorothy cried and put her arm in Quatre's "Lets go."
Dorothy sat sun bathing, Duo was playing with Hilde in the waves, and Quatre, with Relena, were recreating the Sank kingdom out of sand. Quatre leaned back on his haunches and admired their masterpiece. Relena looked at it skeptically.
"Well, it's not perfect, but I think we did pretty good," she said finally and looked up at Quatre. He grinned and nodded. Suddenly instead of the Sank Kingdom they saw flying sand and big feet.
"Hey!" Duo cried and stepped through the kingdom.
"DUO!" Relena and Quatre yelled in unison. He looked down to see what he did.
"Opps," he said with a grin. "I'm sorry."
"Sure you are," Relena rolled her eyes and grabbed a hand full of sand. She tossed it at Duo, who was wet. It hit his stomach and stuck.
"Okay this is war!" Duo cried and grabbed a piece of what was left of the Sank Kingdom and dropped it in Relena's head. She shrieked loudly and leaped up. The two began throwing sand at each other wildly. Quatre was caught in the middle and was soon too throwing sand. Hilde watched for a moment, then Relena noticed her. She threw some at Hilde and soon enough Hilde was involved. Suddenly Quatre stopped throwing sand and motioned for everyone else to stop. He pointed quietly at Dorothy, who was unaware of the whole thing. Everyone got the idea and a hand full of sand. They sneaked up on Dorothy.
Dorothy slept peacefully, dreaming of all the wonderful things she and Quatre had planned when they returned when she felt something land on her stomach. She opened her eyes and found everyone around her with something in their hands. The sun was blurring her eyes. By the time she figured it out the sand was all over her. She leaped up too and all five of them had a long sand fight.
After it was over everyone sat together across the beach, each covered in sand and watched the sun set. Hilde was asleep in Duo's lap, while he ate the last sandwich that had been packed. Quatre had his arm wrapped around Dorothy and her head was resting on his shoulder. Relena sat Indian style with her elbows resting on her knees, her hands woven into a perfect basket to hold her chin. She was smiling contently. Life seemed perfect and wonderful.
'This,' she decided. 'Is what life is supposed to be.' She moved her position so she was holding her legs against her chest and her head on her knees. Her eyes became heavy, again a day had passed and her thoughts had not lingered to her lost love, instead now, she thought of Jeremiah. What a wonderful friend he was. Relena still wondered what he meant by saying '"I'll find you". She couldn't believe her luck in meeting him. He was different from any other person she had ever met. He forced her to do and think things about herself she had never considered and now she was happier with herself than she had ever been in her life. She opened her tired eyes and looked over at her friends. They were standing up. Quatre came over to her and offered his hand. She took it and he helped her up.
"We only have two more days here," Hilde sighed.
"What?" Relena cried. Had the week gone by so fast? Everyone was startled by the shock and the wavering fear in her voice.
"Yeah Relena, we leave on the cruse ship Friday," Duo explained. Relena's eyes suddenly filled with tears. She turned her head up to the sky, trying to keep them from over flowing.
'I won't cry,' Relena thought. 'I AM strong enough.' The threat of tears stopped and Relena looked back at her friends. They were watching her, confused.
"I don't want to leave," Relena explained with a light smile. "I've met some body." Again everyone looked at her in shock. "And I've fallen in love with this island. I don't think I've ever been in such a wonderful place. I just wish I could stay here a little longer."
"You met some one else this quickly?" Hilde cried in disbelief.
"Oh, it's not like that. We're friends. He's a wonderful person. I'm going to have him meet all of you tomorrow. You'll see then. He's the one who helped me and told me what I should have heard and known so many years ago."
"Well, Relena," Quatre said, since he knew no one else knew what to say. "If you like him that's enough for us to like him too." She smiled at him.
"I'm glad," she smiled. "Now lets get back. I think we all have to make a trip through the shower."
"I don't know how I'm going to explain the sand in the rental van to the rental car agency," Dorothy sighed then laughed. "All well, it doesn't matter we're on vacation."
Quatre laughed with her and put his arm around her waist.
"How about I join you in the shower?" Quatre offered silently in Dorothy's ear. She grinned.
"We'll see," she replied. Duo was holding Hilde in his arms. She was falling asleep again. They reached the van and Relena drove, while Dorothy and Quatre sat in the very back of the van. Hilde and Duo were asleep, holding each other, in the middle area of the vehicle. Relena glanced at the passenger seat beside her. She wished Jeremiah was sitting in it, but it wasn't too important. She had a wonderful day with her friends and she was starting to understand what she really wanted from life. Tomorrow she would see Jeremiah some how another and so would her friends. She hoped they would like him just as much as she did.
'What am I worrying about?' Relena laughed at herself. 'Why wouldn't they like him? There's no way you can't like him.' She grinned. 'There's just no way anyone couldn't love Jeremiah.'
Heero leaned up out of bed. Morning had come and with that the life he had chosen. Today he would be assigned a new job from the Preventers. He wasn't really sure what. No one there really had much to do anymore. He quickly got dressed and left before his wife or child stirred.
"What do you need, Sally?" Heero asked when he reached her desk.
"We've got a little job for you Heero. The rest of us are up to our necks in work here, so we need you to find out all you can on a," Sally explained and held up a paper. She looked at it. "Jeremiah Leshem. He's on the island of New Providence in the Bahamas. He's lives in the capital, Nassau. Again, find out all that you can. I want to know his whole history, every little detail."
"That's the island Relena's on," Heero whispered and took the paper Sally was handing to him. "Why do you need to do this?"
"I have my reasons. We have people down there watching Miss Relena. He's been with her often and I just want to make sure that she's safe with him," Sally explained. "That doesn't bother you does it? Would you rather me give this job to some one else?"
"No," Heero said sternly. "I'll do it."
"Good."
Well, I hope you like this chapter and thanks for the reviews!! There are only a few chapters left and then I'm finished. I hope you like it so far!
