After the two finished their dinner, they made their way to the music room for Quatre to play. He would gladly play for his beloved and did so, but after the first song he stopped.

"What's wrong? Are you too tired to play?" asked Relena.

"No. I'm fine. There's something I've been meaning to ask you." With that, he got down on one knee, took her left hand into his and said

"Relena, my dearest, I've loved you for so long. Would you be my wife?" Tears came to her eyes and she replied with a single answer.

"Yes Quatre. I will." He slipped the gorgeous ring onto her finger and pulled her into a passionate kiss. Everything had worked out for the best, or had it?

Heero put on his jacket and left the apartment. He walked and schemed at the same time. There was something wrong and only he could prevent it from happening. He kept walking until he reached a quiet little café. Walking inside, he spotted Dorothy silently reading a novel. He had to get out before she saw him, but it was too late. Their eyes locked and she beckoned him towards her. Entranced, he obeyed and sat down. The two immediately struck up a conversation to hide their nervous feelings. Things still weren't right. They would never be.

'Relena doesn't love me anymore. Life will go on and I'll be left all alone again. I don't think I can go on living,' thought Heero.

Caught up a haze of passion, the two lovers made their way slowly to her bedroom.

'Oh god, what are we doing?' thought Relena. She stopped them.

"Quatre, I've saved myself for a long time. Do you think this could wait? I'm not sure I'm ready yet. I do love you, but this happiness just got to my head and I don't want to get pregnant until after we've been married. She knew it was silly, but she knew being a bride would mean she should follow tradition and stay a virgin until the wedding night.

Understanding her concerns, Quatre nodded and spoke. "Yeah, I think you're right. I love you too much and I'll respect what you say. Besides, I'm not like Duo!" exclaimed Quatre. Laughing, Relena smiled. She really was happy, and it wasn't with Heero. He opened her eyes to what the world held. What it held was a man she could not imagine herself without. A man who would truly love and respect her. A man like Quatre. Feeling as high as a kite, Relena ran towards her balcony and threw the large french doors open.

It was a beautiful night. Warm summer breezes blew overhead while occaisional street lights illuminated the dark streets. Quatre walked over to where Relena was and wrapped his arms around her waist. They were so happy, nothing could spoil this moment between them.


AN: OKAY! Now I know this chapter was WEIRD. Sorry, I didn't know what Relena would say or do. I kinda winged it. Was it terrible??? Please review. Thanks so much. Oh, am I too polite??? Well, that's just me!
