"You have to go." Said Miliardo. They were in the hallway of the Peacecraft mansion discussing the ball tonight that was taking place in the downtown capital building.
"Yes, I am. But you must understand, there will be a lot of soldier's their sir. "
"What's the meaning?"
"I have something to tell you." She whispered. "Before you say anything else, your life is in danger. "
"Noin-"
"I've known for a month now that it was going to happen. "
"I don't care, I'm going to make my point clear to the people and if someone wishes to silence me, they may." He turned and left around the corner while her eyes followed his movement.
**So damn stubborn…just like Relena. **

"Hey boys", called Clare coming in to the docking bay. Heero and Trow had been checking on their gundams for any tune-ups and Quatre had decided to come along. Duo was in the training room as well as Duo supposedly taking on Relena and Hilde. Relena had actually taken to Hilde and had treated her with a sense of respect that was comfortable for them both, yet there were moments when her eyes turned dark and she murmured things and codes.
"Hello Ms. Clare." Said Quatre looking up from Trowa's gundam. "You look very beautiful this evening." And that she did. For she wore a lovely navy gown that skimmed the floor, the dress fit her slender form and scientific personality perfectly by her shoulder cut off that wrapped around her shoulders. Her hair was curled with a golden clip that shined ever so brightly in the sunset. Around her ivory skinned neck she had a simple golden chain with an elegant saphire attached that made her velvet dress look all the more elegant.
"Why thank you Quatre! That's so sweet of you to say." She turned about blushing and her gown twirled behind her. "It did turn out rather well though. You boys should be getting ready as well."
"I'm sorry, I don't understand."
"She means the Politician Ball Quatre." Trowa put his wrench in the metal trunk, as did Heero with his laser knife.
"That's right boys, it's in an hour and a half! You all better hurry, OK? I will go get the others, just go make yourselves beautiful."
She waved behind as her pace quickened and her dress fluttered behind out of the room pursuing to the training room.
"That woman is quite different for a professional medical doctor and technician."
"I think she's a very nice person though Trowa and very beautiful as well." Trowa nodded and Heero stood up.
"I'm going to make sure we have all we need to be prepared for the assassination attempt tonight."
"Right" Trowa watched him leave.
"We should do the same, I"ve got to go find Celest too."
Trowa nodded and they said they're good byes before they both left the docking bay.

"Ya!" Relena threw a hard punch and Wufei dodged it just in time. He gave a smirk and then proceeded in giving a high kick." Hiyah!" Relena was hit in the jaw and a few drops of blood escaped the corners of her mouth. "Bastard.." she yelled attacking him head on and delivering a powerful series of kicks and punches. Wufei continued to block but only for so long until he was hard in the chest and then tripped. He tried to get up only she had put her foot on his throat. He looked away not wanting to admit defeat as she let him get off of the floor.
"Wow Alleen, score one for the bitches, yes!" Hilde cheered giving Relena a sliding high five.
She grinned at Hilde and said, " Ya, he's good." She motioned to Wufei." I got lucky, you did good against Duo."
"I need to train more, I lost bad." She gave Duo a hug. "Or maybe it's cause I can't fight such an idiot."
"You're to hard on yourself, " he said ignoring her comments. " You just need to spar with me a few more times."
" And make her worse!" laughed Clare coming in the sliding steel doors.
"What's the occasion?" asked Hilde braking away from Duo to admire Clare's dress.
" The Politician Ball is in a little over an hour away."
"What's that?"
"Tonight", started Relena. " There is a ball for all of the Politician's from Earth and the Colony's, and a representative of the Cobra."
"Ah, I see. Oh this is the one that Miliardo will be targeted."
"Yes."
"Well we girls have to get ready and all beautiful for you guys, right Wufei?" Clare grabbed the girls and walked out of the training room while a stunned and slightly pink Wufei stood next to a smiling Duo.
Once outside the training room Clare let go of the two stunned women. "Well let's go to your rooms and get ready, okay with you two?"
"Fine with me", said Hilde. She looked at Relena with a questioning look and when Relena nodded her head in approval Hilde said it was fine with Alleen as well.
"Great, I have to admit I will dress you both up like you were my little dolls!"
"Great", muttered Relena.

Quatre walked in to his quarters looking for Celest. When he had called her name several times, that is when he began to get worried, that is until he saw her sleeping form covered with a mass of heavy blankets with her head and leg sticking out. She was wearing one of Quatre's white shirts and her hair was down for a change. Her blue shining hair seemed to reach the ends of the bed that was were her right leg was sticking out from the heap of blankets. Quatre walked over to her sleeping form and gently placed her leg back under the covers, he smiled to him self subconsciously. He looked at his night stand clock and said to himself…**We have some time, I'll let her sleep for a few more minutes** he then climbed in bed with her, while wrapping his arms around the child. **She's so young, but there's something different about her. **
Yet the child Celest was not truly in a peaceful sleep.
In the mind of Celest…
Red every where, suits, big armored suits, what are they! **I want to go back** she screamed in her mind. **Back to my Mistress! **
In space she was floating, in space amongst the stars. It was so peaceful, until that damned gold and black armored suit! There were five gundam suits and then a new one appeared and began to fight. Suddenly her dream was interrupted and a vision of her Mistress appeared before her.
**Celest** she said holding the girls head.
The girl only looked at her with longing eyes that were covered with flowing tears. **Why did you leave me? ** She asked heartbroken.
**I had to, I am here in your dream to speak with you. You have to listen carefully, okay? **
She nodded. **Good, princess Relena is in grave danger and you need to watch her carefully. The final battle is coming; Demone and his army are almost ready to strike. **
**O.okay. **
**I have o leave you now, you should know that your true fo--** the image of Maitien slowly faded away. All that was left was a sobbing Celest in total darkness screaming until she could scream for no one any longer.
Out of Celest's mind…
Quatre awoke suddenly reacting to a scream, when he found it was only she. He cradled Celest in his arms saying words, which would only soothe the young girl. Awaking from her dream with a start she found herself being held in the arms of a young man. **He..he was with me the whole time** she thought. Her tears ended and she looked up at Quatre and began to feel embarrassed that they were in the same bed and her with only his shirt to cover her.
"Are you all right now?" She nodded and hastily got out of bed before he could see her blushing. Only Quatre got up and playfully put his hands over her eyes and said," Why don't we go see the girls and get you dressed for the party tonight."
"Sure," she responded as he took his hands away. Then they walked out the door hand in hand.
"So, would you like to tell me what your dream was about?" he asked suddenly out of the silence while they were walking towards Relena and Hilde's dorm.
She clutched his hand tighter and said, " About the machines and Mistress."
"Oh, I see. Well you needn't worry about any of those things now." He knocked on the door. "Everything will be OK."
"Quatre I…"
The door opened and Clare peeked her head out. "Hello their Celest."
"Umm, hi Ms. "
"Oh please," she opened the door completely. "I'm Clare."
"Well, I don't know much about getting girls ready for formal parties, so I figured you could handle it?" asked Quatre.
"Why of course!" she said enthusiastically. She suddenly ushered Celest inside and said her good byes to Qautre. " We'll have her looking like a princess, Quatre in no time. Bye now!" She shut the door in his face.
"Why don't you go see if Alleen's out of the shower yet and then go take a quick one yourself? Or do you need any help?"
"No," she whispered faintly.
But Clare was too busy to notice her any more; she was to involved with picking between the maroon or black dress for Hilde. Noticing this Celest walked to the bathroom and turned the silver knob. She opened the door and walked in meekly then closed it behind her. Relena quickly turned around and with a loud shriek pushed the girl back in to the door with a loud clang.
"What the hell are you doing!" she screamed. Celest didn't know what was happening but when she looked around she could tell why Relena was angry. Relena had taken a shower and was in a light slip, but there were bandages all around and one around her pale neck, covered in black blood.
"You don't tell anyone about this! You understand me?" she lowered her voice to a threat.
"Yes", Celest said softly. Relena gathered her things and began to walk out of the bathroom after she had moved the girl then looked at her and said, " It's nothing personal, I just can't let anyone know that I'm not Relena or Alleen." The door was shut quietly while muffled sounds of dresses and make-up were heard from the other side of the door. Looking calmer now, Celest took off Quatre's shirt and stepped in to the shower.
About an hour later she was ready. Celest had on a beautiful light blue dress that was had a princess cut off and fluffed out the rest of the way until it reached the floor. Her hair was down for a change with a braid in the front and flowers in her hair. Hilde had excused herself for she and Duo had gone to the party earlier together. Hilde had worn though, the black form fitting dress with a matching choker. Celest now look at Relena's face in the mirror admiring her beauty. She had decided to wear a red Chinese dress with two slits at the side that started at upper thigh. She had red high heeled shoes and her hair was down up elegantly in a bun with many free strands of curls eloping her face. Her make-up was kept natural, except for blush, eye shadow, and dark blood red lipstick that made her face look paler than it was even with the blush on her face.
"You look simply nothing less than perfect my dear Alleen."
"Yet I feel as if I was nothing." She responded looking blankly in the mirror before her.
"What?"
"Right now I have three people in my mind, and another one that is the personality that combine's them all. You should know, Clare, " she turned her head to look her straight in the eye. " Two of them tell me to kill you right now." She looked at Clare with the utmost seriousness in her voice.
"But, can you tell me why you have not?" she smiled upon Relena. Who simply shook her head and then turned her head back and look once again blankly in the mirror.
"It's because of you. Not all these people, for they make-up you. You may have these different personalities but, these personalities are the people that make up you, and it's will be you, whom decides who you will be in the end." She took and simple red choker with a red gem that hang from it and put it around her neck to cover her scar marks.
Relena turned around and stood up and with watery eyes embraced the woman with love and caress. "Thank you", she said quietly as she broke away.
Clare took Celest's hand and they walked out the door after a posed and shielded Relena. Tonight she would hide behind the mask of Alleen, and tonight she would carry out an important mission.

Demone stood over his mirror and looked at himself and smiled. Tonight he would be going to this formal ball, maybe not as Demone, but as Charlie Loft. He looked himself over once more and starting with his head he turned slowly in to Charlie Loft. For he was the exact, he had created Charlie as his pawn, as someone he could disguise himself as so he could get closer to the beautiful Ms. Alleen Peace, or rather Relena Peacecraft. He wore a simple black tuxedo with a top hat and cape with a simple black bow tie around the neck, he looked like a man that could capture any woman's heart, and tonight he would take her with him, tonight was his night.
"Sir!" a middle aged around 45 saluted and awaited his master.
"What?" Demone asked.
"I have scheduled for a fourth of our army be there at the gathering tonight, I will be there as well, sir!"
"Good, now go! I will pick up my date alone this evening." He waved the soldier away, not noticing the anger in the general's face as he left.
**I'll kill you, you bastard, for killing my nephew, Pattrick. **
