Epilogue


Relena snuck into the Preventers Headquarters. It has been three months since
her encounter, and she was doing much better now. She was back with Dr. J, training
again to get her strength back up. Hilde rejoined the pilots and their friends, while
Relena remained a student of Dr. J's.
She climbed the stairs to the second floor. Room 213, she thought. When she
found it, she opened the door and snuck inside, examining her surroundings.
"You're late," a voice said. She approached a figure standing at the window. The
only light illuminating the room was the moon.
"Sorry Heero. Did you want me to be loud?" she asked, joking around. He
smiled and grabbed her hand.
"Are you sure about this? Once you leave, there's no coming back," he warned.
She smiled and ran her fingers through his unruly brown hair.
"I'm positive." He sighed and put his hand behind her head, kissing her
passionately. His fingers stroked her brown, silky hair, as she did the same. When it
ended, they gazed at each other and smiled.
"Let's move then," he said. Within seconds they had disappeared into the
darkness of the night.


Millardo, Noin, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Hilde, and Duo reported to Colonel Une's
office at nine the next morning. She said she had something important to show them.
"Sit down please." They all took their respectful spots and sat, awaiting the
important news.
"What is this about?" Sally said, joining them. "Sorry I'm late. I had some
business to finish." She sat next to Wufei.
"It's fine. Now, I think it's better if I show you this than tell you." She pointed a
controller at the screen and pressed the play button. The image on the screen was of a
girl with dark brown hair and cerulean blue eyes and a boy with unruly brown hair and
Persian blue eyes.
"Hello everyone. Relena here. I figured that before Heero and I disappeared, we
should tell you what's going on. Millardo and Noin, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about me,
but it was for your own good that I keep it from you. Yes, that was I at the ball a few
months ago. Don't try to find us, because it will be a waste of time. When we want to be
found, you'll know. And Millardo, don't be angry with me. This is for me as well, and I
hope you can understand. I love you all very much, and don't worry; I've got Heero to
protect me. Speaking of, I think there's something he wants to say." Heero appeared,
replacing Relena's face.
"Pilots, I know you are very capable of getting along without me. Quatre, I would
like you to lead the team. Take care everyone." Then Relena returned.
"See you in the future." The screen went fuzzy. Everyone was shocked.
"Well, I guess we'll see 'em when they wanna be seen," Duo concluded.
"I'm glad they're finally together," Hilde said. The group left, talking about the
new situation.
"Millardo?"
"Yes, Noin?"
"Are you going to be okay with this?"
"Yeah." He hugged his wife and smiled. "She's happy, and that's all that
matters."



Hunter

by Dido

With one light on in one room, I know you're up when I get home.
With one small step upon the stair, I know your look when I get there.
If you were a king up there on your throne, would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this Queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again, wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go.
The unread book and painful look, the TV's on, the sound is down.
One long pause, then you begin, oh look what the cat's brought in.
If you were a king up there on your throne, would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again, wants to see the world alone again,
To take a chance on life again, so let me go, let me leave,
For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now,
And I don't know what to say to you but I smile anyhow,
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking,
I want to be a hunter again, want to see the world alone again,
To take a chance on life again, so let me go



I thought this song described the way Relena felt about her duty as Vice Foreign
Minister, so I used it as the title of my story, and also the chapter headings. Tell me
what you think! ^-^
