"It's Gonna Be Me" Part Six: Hello's and Good-bye's
***
Relena stood on her balcony, looking once again at the beautiful coast of her country. She hadn't seen it for so long after being in the hospital for six and a half weeks, that everything seemed new again. The ivory curtains and the wooden vanity chest and mirror. Everything was familiar yet still somewhat foreign. She sighed. She walked back into her room and lay down on her ivory covered bed. Ms. Noin walked in at that moment.
"Miss Relena, I'm sorry to disturb you. I searched through all the databases at my fingertips for Heero Yuy's family. I believe I found something." she explained.
Relena's breath caught in her throat. "You found something? How sure are you?" Relena asked. "So soon?"
"Yes, Miss Relena. I'm pretty sure. Perhaps we should go check it out? It's on Colony 001. We could question the family, confirm that it's them..."
***
Two days later, Relena Peacecraft boarded a large white shuttlecraft headed for Colony 001. Oh Heero, I hope this is them. I truly hope so, she thought, she gazed sadly out the window to the diminishing planet Earth. Heero...
***
Thirteen hours later, the shuttle docked with Colony 001. Relena disembarked slowly, remembering when her father had been murdered on this very colony. Relena walked over to an information center. The teller looked up and smiled. The man blinked twice when he recognized who was standing before him. "Well, ah, Princess Relena, it's, ah, it's a pleasure to meet you, here, or finally, or, um, how can I help you?" he babbled. He blushed furiously at his mistake.
Relena smiled sweetly at the young man. "I need to know the address and directions to the house of a Miss Carrie Irish. That will be all thank you. Unless, you know of a quick transportation there...?"
"Um, well, uh, no, I'm afraid I don't, Your Highness. I, um, err, her, ah, address, yeah, that's it, is, um, Complex Nine, Block Forty-Two, Stellar Drive. She's a sad one, she lost her family about seventeen years back, I believe." he replied shyly. He stumbled and bumped across the words out of embarrassment again.
"Thank you." Relena said as she turned and left. C9-B42-Stellar happened to be close to where her father had been murdered so Relena knew the way there. It was a posh area, where diplomats and hotels were stationed. Relena wandered over to Stellar Drive, then followed it down to Complex Nine, and around a windy path to Block Forty-Two. There she stood facing a huge home, a mansion of sorts. Whatever it was, it was beautiful.
The large flat she was staring at consisted of huge floor to ceiling windows in the front portion, all the way to the roof. The rooms beyond these windows consisted of a kitchen, a living room, and what seemed a family room. Through a partially open door, a dining area could be seen with a long table. The rooms were made of polished wood floors, and the furnishings were classic. There was a large, plush, galaxy design carpet in the living room atop the polished wood oak floors. The family room also had a large carpet, but this one showed more the design of a solar system on it. Going up from the living room was a large wood and glass staircase leading to the second level. In that second level, was a large burgundy carpeted room, with pictures of a tropical rainforest on Earth. The room's furnishings were black in color and velvety in texture. There was a large black curtain that could be pulled across the floor to ceiling window to give a bit of privacy. The other room on that floor seemed to be a work out type area. It had a multitude of exercise machinery. It also had a computer in the room. The rooms beyond the foremost were a mystery for the doors on the second level were shut. Impressive, thought Relena. Relena walked up to the door to the magnificent dual-platform flat. She took a deep breath and pushed the summons beside the door just as a woman wearing a long navy blue dress with fiery jet-black hair stepped down into the living room from the stair well leading upstairs.
Relena watched the woman as she neared the door. So, this is Carrie Summers. She reminds of Heero. She has the dark hair, but his is lighter, more brownish colored... she came to attention and smiled politely at Miss Summers as she opened the door.
"Can I help you?" she asked. "Oh! Princess Relena Peacecraft! Come in, please come in!" She stepped out of the way to let Relena pass into the living room. Relena looked more closely at the lavish furnishings. They were indeed soft, she noticed as she sat down in the comfortable chair Miss Summers had motioned towards. "To what do I owe the pleasure of such esteemed company?"
Relena could tell that there was much pain that this nice woman was hiding. "I have come at the request of a beloved friend. He requested--" Relena was cut short when a young girl, not much older that she, walked in the room. She had dark colored hair, almost black but still brown, and she looked about seventeen. She had the same ocean-colored eyes as Heero did.
"Mother! Can I please clean out Japa's room? It's been sitting there, with no one in it, and I'm getting tired of your depression over that horrid event almost seventeen years ago!" the girl vented. She suddenly noticed their stunned arrival. "Oh! Oh my! I'm so sorry, Princess Relena! I didn't notice you there. Please excuse my outburst."
"No, no it's fine. Things like that happen. Besides, you didn't see me here. And who am I to impose on any normal household proceedings?" she said, managing a weak smile. She glanced at Miss Summers. "What might your name be?"
"Oh, of course. My name is Aliana Jae Summers." she said quietly. She was rather subdued after venting in anger in front of Relena. "May I ask the reason of your visit?"
"Of course. As I was saying, I have come here at the request of a beloved friend. He requested that I search out his family and return him to them. You see, he's in a coma, and he has never known his family. He was taken when he was a child. His family supposedly murdered. I had Ms. Noin look through every database available to us, and your name came up as the only possibility. I have come to ask for any information on a lost son or nephew or brother. Anything would be useful." Relena explained as gently as she could for Miss Summers looked as though she would burst into tears at any given time.
"I was born a twin." started Aliana. "My brother's name was Japa. Japa Ay Summers. When we were six months old, a man came and slaughtered Father, Grandmother, and our older brother, Jix. He tried to slaughter mother but he missed mostly. She has a large scar... But anyway, he didn't bother with me. Probably because I'm a girl. He took Japa though. Mother lived and took me from the family that almost adopted me. But since then, we have searched but found nothing of any Japa Summers." she told, tears in her eyes. Her mother was silently weeping.
Relena stared at the floor for a moment trying to compose herself. She looked at the woman and the young lady that reminded her so much of Heero. "What did he look like? What would he look like now?" she asked carefully.
"Well," said Carrie, finally putting in her say through her tears. " He would have dark brown hair, and blue eyes. He would probably be a bit rebellious at this age. He was a kicker, I'll tell you that. And when he was in a bad mood, he let everyone know." she sighed sadly. "He would be my little warrior. My protector. My baby boy."
"Well, give me a quick DNA sample from both of you and I'll be back shortly." Relena said, The sooner I know, the better, she thought to herself. She got a quick DNA sample from them and said her good-byes and thank you.

An hour later, Relena returned to the glass home. She walked up and pushed the summons on the door. Aliana opened the door for her and ushered her inside. Her mother came down stairs and sat across from Relena on a large, plush couch beside her daughter.
"I sent the DNA samples to Ms. Noin. She scanned them and compared them to Heero's. Heero is the boy I'm talking about. He has dark hair, blue eyes, and he's seventeen. He's also rebellious and he is a soldier." Relena paused for a moment before continuing. The two women in front of her gasped. "As I said, Ms. Noin compared them and..." she trailed off, looking at the floor.
"And...?" they persisted, eager to know the truth.
"And Heero Yuy is you Japa Summers. He is you twin brother and your son." she said, as she addressed the two women sitting in front of her. "I have your lost young man. I'll have him sent to you immediately if you can get an in-home doctor to watch him. He is in a coma, remember?" Relena knew she was babbling, but she didn't care, Heero was going for good. It seems we just said hello and now it's good-bye. Forever...
The two women cried out for joy. They hugged each other and thanked Relena repeatedly. "Oh, she found him! We've found him! Oh, we have Japa back!"

All that I do
Is not enough for you
Don't wanna lose it again
But I'm not like that
When finally you get to love
Guess what, guess what
