Hunter

Chapter Two: Want To Be A Hunter Again
Liz Evans and Piper Rhodes sat and reminisced about the old days.
"Do you remember when we first met?" Liz asked. Piper smiled.
"Yep. I was on Libra, stealing data for the Gundam pilots, and you were locked
away in a room on the ship. I went in there, and found you instead of an escape. We
started talking, and we've been friends ever since." Piper's dark blue eyes danced with
amusement, as did Liz's cerulean blue eyes. They giggled and giggled, hardly breathing
in between.
"It's nice to hear you two laughing," Dr. J said as he sat next to the two girls.
They controlled themselves, and directed their attention to the newcomer.
"That's how we were when we met you a year ago. In hysterical fits of laughter
sitting in a restaurant at two in the morning," Liz said. She pulled her shoulder length,
chocolate brown colored hair into a low ponytail.
"I can't believe it's been one year already," Piper said. Everyone quit smiling,
lost in his or her own thoughts.
"I remember when we decided to do this," Liz said.
*Flashback*
Relena trudged up the stairs and into her room. It was ten thirty in the evening,
and she had just gotten back from another peace meeting on the L1 Colony. She sighed
heavily as she saw the pile of papers on her table.
"Why me?" she mumbled. Sighing greatly, she began sifting through the papers,
reading each one. "Let's see, some invitations, peace treaties, arguments, and yay, more
requests for assistance in the colonies." She was so wrapped up in her work that she
didn't realize someone had entered.
"Hey Lena!" Hilde said. Relena nearly hit the ceiling.
"Hilde? Hey!" The two hugged each other furiously.
"What's going on? More work?" Hilde asked, nodding toward the piles. Relena
nodded and dropped onto the floor, bringing her knees up to rest her arms and chin on.
Hilde joined her.
"I'm so tired of this, Hilde. It's becoming too much for me to handle. All I do is
work, work, and work! I have no free time to do what I want!"
"Well, if it's that bad, then why not leave. Start over again, Relena. A kid
shouldn't have to do this stuff."
"And how do I do that?"
"Oh I don't know, contact Dr. J maybe? After all he is the one who gave Heero a
new name and identity. Maybe he would for you as well."
"You know Hilde, that just might be possible. But how can we find out where to
contact him?"
"I bet Heero knows." Hilde sighed as she thought of trying to ask him.
"He won't tell us." Relena sighed, and then she got another idea.
"I know! I could go back to the spot where I was when I met him, and look for
him."
"I hope it works," Hilde said. Relena looked at her and smiled.
"You know what, I'd really appreciate it if you would accompany me when I
leave."
"Relena, I-"
"Hilde, I know how you feel. You think that if you leave, Duo may actually come
around, and you won't be here for it. You'll miss the opportunity of a lifetime. I feel that
way about Heero, but Hilde, they haven't shown any affection so far, and they may never
do so, so we should just leave, and maybe come back in a few years to see if they
changed."
Hilde sat there, thinking about Relena's words, and then she nodded. "Fine, I'll
do it Relena. After all, I can't wait around forever."
*End Flashback*
"Yep, those were the good days," Liz said. Piper nodded in agreement.
"So Dr. J, why did you come here?" Piper asked, taking her mind off of those
memories.
"I have a mission for you both. Here it is," he replied, handing them each a piece
of paper. "I must be going now. I'll see you in three days." He got up and left the two
girls smiling.
"Time to go back home," Liz said. "Only this time I go as a protector, not as the
protected."
"And not as a Diplomat either," Piper added.
"Yes, no more Vice Foreign Minister." The girls headed to their apartment to
prepare for the party.
