This chapter is done a bit different. it starts out a little different, with Rini's point of
view, and then goes back into 3rd person. I just didn't no how to start the chapter any
differently. Any ways, enjoy! (and I'm sure you know all the legal stuff)

*Rini's P.O.V*


It all happened so quickly. During Relena's birthday masquerade, Lita had finally agreed
to go, with lots of begging. That's where it happened. The attack. I don't know why it
happened, or how. Big battle suits, like the gundams stormed the palace. I think someone
called them....dolls? Immediatly when the attack occured, Relena, I, and Lita were shooed to
saftey.

Along the way we lost Lita, and when I heard someone say that an angel in green was
shorting out the suits, I knew where she had gone. To save us. I knew Lita wouldn't leave the
gundams to do the job. That wasn't her style. She had faced her demons to protect me...Relena
...everyone. We probaly wouldn't have survived if she hadn't.

Then came the men on foot. With the big guns, that sounded like firecrackers as they
were shot off. They would have got Relena and I, if it hadn't been for Heero...

***********************************************************************


The palace was desimated, everything had been destroyed.

Rini watched the men sift through the debree, searching for survivors of the massacure.
It was terrible. She looked to Relena, who was speaking to a woman in white, with raven hair.
From the expression on Relena's face, Rini knew that this was really, really terrible.

Looking towards Rini, Relena sped her way towards her, being followed by the raven
haired woman. Placing her hand on the little girls shoulder, she sighed and whispered,"There is
no sign of her. Lt. Noin thinks she didn't survive."

Rini stepped foward, quietly she spoke,"No....No! NO! SHE'S OUT THERE! AND SHE'S
ALIVE!"

Relena watched as the litle one ran into the rubble, feircly calling out,"Lita!"

Eventually, the amazing output of energy took its toll on Rini's small body. She sat
with a look of defeat, on a lump of plaster,that was once part of the ceiling. Looking out of
the destruction she noted all the cars, and the vans. All with lights, spinnig dizzy reds, and
blues.

Trowa placed his hand on her shoulder, and took a seat beside the small child.

Rini looked up at him coldly. He was taken back by her show of emotions, that played
aross her face, and in her eyes.

"She's out there. Somewhere."

Trowa looked at her sympathetically. She had lost her only family. And she was so
young.

Trowa sighed at the thought of Lita. She was a beautiful girl. Gone. He didn't even get
to speak to her really. Though he acted like he didn't, he was always awhere of Lita's presense.
And she looked especially beautiful tonight, with her hair done up in curls, and in a sleek satin
dress that brought out her eyes. A silver, butterfly-like mask covering the area around her
eyes. The beauty on her outsides paled against the inside though. She dedicated her life to
keeping, and protecting a little girl that wasn't her daughter.

"I know Rini, I know."

Rini looked back out over the reckage. Something caaught her eye, and caused her to
choke.

Climbing to a little spot, Trowa watched her curiously. She picked up a pen....? A
green pen. Frantically Rini started throwing peices of ruble to and fro.

"Trowa! Trowa help me! She's under here!"

She threw the strange object at him. It wasn't a pen after all. What was it then?

He was torn from his thoughts by the excessive screaming from the little girl.
