~*NOTE*~ While reading this pic please think about the episode "Party Night" and the moment where Relena is standing in front the wing Gundam after it saved her from the rubble that's where the inspiration from the fic came from!
A picture is worth a thousand words and there are those pictures which last forever. Those pictures of history that at the moment were on every magazine cover, shown on every news program, and seen across the globe. There are those pictures that end up in the history book even if they lost their true meaning. Even if that meaning was never found. There are those pictures which make one lone photographer who just happened to hold a camera in their hand at the right moment famous. Simply because they recognized history when they saw it happening in front of them.
During the one year war. The war of A.C. 195 so many pictures were taken by so many people. Pictures of the Gundams, of the Sanq Kingdom, of Treize Kushrenada, of the people whose lives had been destroyed because of the war but no picture defined the war like this one.
It was a picture of Relena standing in front of the Wing Gundam. She stood tall in front of it, facing it without fear, and without hesitation. It had just protected her from the falling rubble that had tumbled down from the school after the attack by the Mobile Suits. She didn't know why the piolet had protected her but it had. She wanted to know. She wanted to scream "Why? Heero, why?". But she didn't. And while she didn't scream while she stood facing that Gundam for only a moment because neither that brave piolet or the courageous unknown princess could possibly explain or figure out what just happened, the picture that would show the world the war long after the people in that picture had died what the war meant. It showed the world the people that helped end the war. With a combination of battle and pacifism the war ended.
It was a picture of war and peace, a picture of why both were needed. It was a picture that was Relena v. Wing Gundam. It was a face off between peace and war. Opposite poles who were fighting the same battle for the same cause in different ways.
