Part 4

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Synopsis of previous chapter: Heero and Relena met and Duo is introduced.
(Two weeks later)
Quatre, Duo, and Heero are chatting amongst themselves when a messenger enters and delivers a rose with a note attached. Quatre looks at the name on the envelope.
"Relena! It's for you!" Quatre calls out. Relena walks into the room.
"Thank you Quatre. Good evening Duo, good evening Heero," she says.
"Good evening, milady," says Heero.
"Good evening babe!" Says Duo. Relena reads the letter. Heero gets up to leave.
"I must bid you all goodnight," he says, obviously not comfortable with Relena's presence. He leaves as Relena finishes reading the letter.
"It's from Wufei. He gives his thanks for being able to carry my handkerchief in the mobile suit contest tomorrow." Relena announces.
"My dear, I would like you to denounce your permission to carry your handkerchief from Wufei," said Quatre.
"Now? It's a tad too late, Quatre."
"Then let Heero carry it against Trowa…"
"I already promised Trowa that he could carry it."
"Are you kidding, Relena? This is appalling! There are issues involved here that you've obviously overlooked. It will seem to the court that you're rooting for his downfall, championing Heero's defeat."
"We don't know he'll be defeated. Besides, he knocked you unconscious and you woke up his bosom buddy. Perhaps he'll knock them out, too, and they'll all take a house by the sea together."
"Relena, at the risk of disappointing the other knights, I ask you to withdraw your permission from all."
"Quatre, I believe you're jealous of the pilots' attentions to me. Are you, my love?"
"Jealous?! Jealous?! What absolute rubbish! You know perfectly well I'm delighted the court adores you. I'd be astonished if they didn't. But they've carried your kerchief in contest a hundred times and…and…and… Relena, you've dragged me off the subject and I want to get back on it! Will you withdraw your permission?"
"Only if you command me- as king."
"And if I do, will you forgive me?"
"Never."
"If I ask as your husband, will you, as a favor?"
"No. The pilots are against him, and I quite agree with them. I find him just as overbearing and pretentious as they do."
"That is not the issue. The issue is your kerchief. Can we not stay on the subject?"
"There is nothing more to be said. If the King wishes me to withdraw my permission, let him command me! And Yours Humbly will graciously obey." She turns and exits the room.
"Damn you Dr. J! Why have you never taught me about women?"
The scene closes.
(The next day, before the contest)
We see Trowa, Wufei, and Heero in the hanger getting their mobile suits ready for the contest. Heero rises and walks toward Trowa and Wufei.
"Good luck, guys," Heero says sincerely.
"Thank you, Heero. Are you being chivalrous or ironic?" said Wufei.
"Neither, I really mean it," Heero said defensively.
"Then save your wishes for your continuing good health." said Wufei.
"Have you prayed, Heero?" asked Trowa.
"I have, Trowa, for us all."
"How benevolent. How benevolent. Do you know what I shall be thinking, Heero when I see you in your mobile suit? There he is, the Sermon on the Mount." They each climb into their gundanium mobile suits. The crowd becomes excited as Trowa faces off with Heero. They head towards each other. The crowd begins to cheer Trowa on in hopes that Heero will be defeated. As they draw closer, Trowa tries to gain advantage by swerving to the left. He's too late and Heero's beam saber slices his arm. Trowa has lost. The crowd is saddened but cheer up when they see Wufei and his mobile suit fly into the scene. The crowd becomes desperate. They become anxious as Wufei and Heero get closer…and closer… and closer until crash! Heero's beam saber has penetrated Wufei's suit. Wufei has died. His mobile suit is dragged back in and Wufei is taken out. The crowd peers over him as Heero walks towards Wufei. The crowd eyes his disapprovingly. Heero takes Wufei's hand and closes his eyes. After a few seconds, Wufei's chest begins to rise and fall as the crowd gasps in shock. Trowa helps Wufei up and Wufei looks at Heero in gratitude. He and Trowa walk away. The crowd disperses along with Quatre. The only two people left are Heero and Relena. They gaze at each other as the scene ends.

Well, here's Part 4. I hope you all enjoyed it! This chapter was so hard to write because so many things were going on. Well, I left a bit of mystery there in the last line... Please don't kill me but I probably won't be able to write much for a few weeks because I have my Black Belt test for TaeKwon Do and a 10-page english paper due… I'm sorry!! I'll try to get out the next parts ASAP!
Ja ne for now!
