Fight of a Lifetime

Epilogue

Written By Rae

It had been two weeks since Machiavellian's murder. It didn't take Relena long to figure out what had really happened. And truth be told she didn't seem to upset, just worried that someone would figure them out. It was also the truth that Machiavellian's subjects didn't mourn much over his death. Actually Romefellar declared it a worldwide holiday. Within three days they were at Relena's door begging her to be Queen of the World again to which she readily agreed. That's where she was now, walking up to the podium to give a speech before the entire world and all of the colonies.

Thank you all. As you've probably heard by now I was forced into marrying Machiavellian and giving up my position I politics. I'm sure the preventers won't allow it to happen again. They too were tortured alongside my self. As you know the preventers, who are also former gundam pilots are away cleaning up the mess left by the wars Machiavellian caused…

Relena sighed; she missed Heero and the gang, Heero especially. After being forbidden to see him for five years she wished they could've put off playing clean up crew for a while. They were supposed to get back tomorrow. Relena thought about all that had happened. She certainly hoped it wasn't true what they said about history repeating itself. When she was done with her speech Pagan picked her up and drove her home. Relena looked around the mansion. It was big but not as big as the drafty castle where she'd lived while married to Machiavellian. She sighed, as happy as she should be that she was free of Machiavellian and that there was finally peace she didn't feel like celebrating. Actually she felt lonely. All they'd been through and Heero still took off without a good-bye as soon as the job of cleaning up space was offered. Relena looked at a calendar. In handwriting she didn't recognize the words "Relena's Birthday."

"I almost forgot my own birthday, and apparently everyone else did too." She thought. "No that's silly, they're just busy. Don't act so selfish Relena."

Relena walked into the kitchen and saw a pile of presents sitting on kitchen table with cards and a note:

Dear Relena,

Sorry we can't be there for your birthday right now. We'll be home soon but right now we're

"disposing" of the last of Machiavellian's followers. If you want you can start on the presents. Take care.

From the gang

Relena smiled a little. She should have known her friends better. She decided to wait and go out side for a walk in the gardens to get a little fresh air. A little voice in her head was taunting her,

"Sure a little fresh air is your reason huh. You're just disappointed Prince Charming didn't leave anything."

Relena ignored the voice though she knew it was right and went outside. She walked through the moonlit gardens gazing up at the stars. Suddenly she saw a familiar silhouette. Her heart skipped a beat and she almost forgot to breathe.

"Heero, I thought you were-."

"I have a mission to complete."

"I see." Relena tried to hide her disappointment.

"Relena, I just wanted to tell you Happy Birthday"

"Oh." So this was it. He was leaving again and had stopped to say "Happy Birthday" because he just happened to remember it.

Heero knelt down on one knee and pulled out a small velvet box. He opened the box and Relena gasped at the sparkling diamond ring, which must've cost Heero at least five thousand dollars.

"Relena, will you marry me?"

Relena was speechless but the look in her eyes gave Heero all the answer he needed and for once in his life he smiled a real smile-not a smirk or an insane "I'll kill you" smile-no it was a true genuine smile. Heero stood up and pulled Relena close to him and kissed her. Relena wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed right back with all the love in her heart. It started to rain but Relena and Heero didn't notice.

Author's Note: Umm…okay this is the only part of my story I won't accept flames for because I already know that it's really pathetic. So don't email me saying it sucks 'cause I already know that-email me and pretend you like it okay? Please review! Well this is the end of Fight of a Lifetime. I started a new fic called Heero's Mistake, which has nothing to do with this one. Umm, I apologize for the awful ending, I know it's kind of sappy. Well let's just leave it with Heero and Relena and the gundam gang live happily ever after- unless I make a sequel…MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
