Deserving of Love
Prologue: A Betrayal
Setting: Romafeller Foundation
Two months after Endless Waltz
The figure in black slowly crept away from the building, underneath her arm she carried files, documents, and computer disks
that contained Romafeller's most confidential information. She could not continue as she had before the war. Too much had happened.
She had changed too much. She hoped this information would be beneficial to Lady Une and her Preventors. She prayed that they
could come up with an idea to undermine the assassination that Romafeller had ordered on the former Queen of the World, Relena
Peacecraft. Slowly she made her way to the black Ferrari she had parked outside the building. She would have to leave her other car
behind, it was too well known. She knew that he would be proud of her for what she was about to do. And one day she hoped that
he could forgive her for what she had done to him. She wanted so much more than forgiveness, but surely that was all she could ever
wish for. She popped the trunk to her Ferrari and placed all the information inside. She didn't have to worry about anyone seeing her
with the information; everyone was inside celebrating their recent victory over the alliance. Besides she knew her identity would not
remain hidden for long. She climbed into the front seat and slowly made her way to the guard who greeted all guests coming into the
building, and all those who left.
"Miss Dorothy, don't tell me you're leaving already. The party has only just begun."
"I know, but I have several meetings early in the morning and a girl does need her beauty sleep you know." Dorothy replied to the
guard, who appeared quite curious that one of the guests of honors was leaving so early.
"Ah! Well then Miss Dorothy you have a fine evening and sleep well."
"Thank you. I will." Dorothy told the man. She knew however that there would be no sleep for her, she had to drive several hours
to the nearest airport. She had a plane to catch and she didn't want to be around when the Romafeller Aristocrats discovered the
missing information.

Lady Une's Office
"Well Miss Catalonia, I must say I am quite surprised to see you. What may I owe the honor of this visit."
"I have brought you a gift Lady Une. Do with it as you please. But tell no one where you received it. My identity up to this point
has remained a mystery to Romafeller, and I would like that to continue as long as possible. Though I know they will soon figure
it out." Dorothy replied to the woman. She carefully handed the box of information to the Head of the Preventor's.
"What's this? A gift?" Lady Une asked as she began to sort through the various packets of information.
"Dorothy! Do you know what this is?"
"Lady Une, I am the one who betrayed Romafeller and brought you their most confidential secrets. I am quite aware of all the
information that is in that box." Dorothy replied to the woman, letting a touch of the exasperation she felt be revealed.
"Dorothy why did you do this?" Lady Une asked her.
"I am no longer the person I used to be. There were things that happened during the war that changed me. I no longer agree
with the principle and ideals that the Romafeller Foundation was built upon."
"That's great Dorothy. But why did you do this?" Lady Une pressed her. She could see the hesitation and uncertainty in
the other girl's face, and it took several moments before she was ready to reply.
"During the war someone made me realize that I am not proud of the person I have become. I look in the mirror each day
and I can't bear to see the person that looks back at me. I feel nothing but regret and sorrow when I think of the things that
I have done and I know my father would be ashamed of the person I've now become. By doing this I hope to somehow
gain a little of what I've lost. I know you probably don't understand what I'm trying to say, but that is the only way I can
think to explain it." Dorothy told her. She knew in her heart and soul that what she had done was the right thing, and she
understood why she did it. However, explaining it to another person was another matter entirely.
"I understand Dorothy. What are your plans now? I will tell no one where I received this information, but eventually the
Aristocrats from Romafeller will figure it out that you were the one who betrayed them. Will you be all right?"
"Don't worry about me. I have enough resources to last me a while. If I need your assistance may I call upon you?"
Dorothy asked the older woman. She knew that she would not be able to outrun Romafeller forever on her own, and
she would need some assistance. So she hesitantly asked for help for the first time in her life. Her pride had definitely taken
a beating this week.
"Of course you may Dorothy. Please contact me if you are ever in need of my assistance, I do have wide resources and once
word of your sacrifice is made know I'm sure there are others who would be only to happy to assist you as well. Is there
anything you are in need of right now?"
"No, I have everything I need for the moment. However, I can't stay here any longer. I must be going."
"Of course Dorothy. Please let me express my sincere gratitude for what you have done. I know you have sacrificed a lot in
order to do this."
"What I've sacrificed means little compared to what I've gained. At least to my eye. Now I must be off. Good day Lady Une."
Dorothy replied to the lady. And she knew this was true. After today maybe she could look at herself in the mirror without flinching.
"Yes I believe you're right. Good day to you too Miss Dorothy. Remember if you are ever in need of my assistance all you need
do is pick up a phone."
"Thank you Lady Une. I will remember that. And thank you for all that you've done. Now good bye." Dorothy quickly gathered
her things and exited the former Oz Colonel's office. As she exited Preventor's headquarters she leaned up against the building
and sighed as a feeling of relief came over her. She had done the right thing coming here today, now she just had to wait it out.
One day she would be able to come out of hiding and continue her life. She quietly made her way down the busy street and
disappeared into the crowd.

"Well Master Quatre, she has been able to avoid the Romafeller's claws for quite some time now. But they are steadily
gaining on her." The Maguanac told the former pilot of the Gundam Sandroc.
Quatre slowly turned his chair around to face his faithful bodyguard. Since he had heard of Dorothy's suprising actions, he
had been unable to keep her off of his mind. He knew that she would be able to allude Romafeller for some time, but that time
was slowly running up. He knew that if Romafeller were to capture the little turncoat, as the elite of Romafeller now called her,
she would be properly disposed of. He ached to help her in some way, but her whereabouts were a mystery to him. Over the
last several months he had been working to locate her to offer her his aide, but when he finally discovered her whereabouts
she would again mysteriously vanish. Until she quit running there was no way for him to offer his aide. But when she quit running,
she would be caught.
"She knows that there are those who wish to aid her in her endeavor to allude Romafeller, myself included. However, we can
do nothing till she asks for that aide." Quatre told Rashid.
