Warning: Relena AND Dorothy bashing. I feel evil and it's late.
*disclaimer* WHY!? Why must you rub in my face that I do not own them!? THE HUMANITY OF IT ALL!! ANGST AND AGONY!!! *realizes people are staring* oops, well on with the fic.
Relena is in her bedroom. First she looks out the window, then dashes out like a puppy to check if Lani is home yet.
"She should be here by now!" she wails loudly, "How could she be so late!" She sniffles. "Heero..."
Then suddenly she heres footsteps in the hall. All trace of tears vanish as she jumps out to glomp a startled Lani.
"You're back you're back you're back!!!" she shouts like an excited school girl.
"Please calm down, Miss Relena." Lani says frantically, attempting to get out of Relena's hug. "I can't tell you what Mr. Yuy said if you're jumping on me."
Relena immediately shuts up. "You're right. Come in my room." They go into Relena's sitting room. Relena peers around like an actor in a cheap dinner theater mystery flic.
"I think it's safe to talk," she whispers dramatically, "But we'd better whisper. My brother..."
Lani rolls her eyes. "I saw him outside of Mr. Yuy's apartment. I doubt he can hear us." she says in her normal voice.
"SSSSHHH!" Relena hisses frantically, "Walls have ears!"
Lani raises an eyebrow, but decides to humor her mistress. After all, that's what she's paid to do. "All right," she whispers, "Anyway, I saw Mr. Yuy..."
"Yes?" Relena starts to tremble with excitement.
"And I gave him your message..."
"Yes!?" Relena grabs a pillow of a chair and hugs it fiercely.
"And he said...oh, wait, where's Pagan?"
Relena throws down the pillow. "LANIIIIIIII!!!!" she whines "You were just about to tell me what my Hee-bear said and then you ask where Pagan is as if it would matter because he doesn't care what I do as long as I'm happy and he would NEVER tell Melliardo on me-" her words are cut off as the door opens.
"Miss Relena? I heard shouting, are you alright?" says the (damnably annoying) voice of Dorothy.
"Oooh, Dorothy, come in, Lani was about to tell me...wait, can you keep a secret?"
"Of course, Miss Relena." she says patronizingly, "Do go on, Lani."
Lani decides to just say and stop dragging it out. "Um..Heero agrees to marry you."
"YES!!!!!!" Relena shouts and begins to prance about the room.
Dorothy suddenly turns white(r than usual). "But, but, that's impossible...he said he loved me, how could he betray me like that, I don't understand..."
Lani and Relena stare at her as she begins to cry. "Um, Miss Dorothy?" Lani ventured, "I thought you loved Mr. Melliardo. Why do you care if Mr. Yuy marries Relena?"
Dorothy blinks a few times. "Oh right, I forgot."
Relena decides to add in her own two cents. "And besides, you refused Heero so many times. You always insisted you wanted nothing to do with him."
"Oh yeah." Dorothy's tears dry up in the blinding glare of her I'm-thinking/talking-about-Zechs smile. "And besides, Mr. Melliardo is so handsome and brave, not like Heero. I truly pity you, Miss Relena, incest is even illegal in Kentucky now."
"Legal-shmegal. I was the Queen of the World, I can do whatever I want."
"Um, Miss Relena," Lani interjects quietly, "You're marrying Mr. Yuy, remember?"
"Of course I am, what made you think I forgot?"
Suddenly, something occurs to Dorothy and her I'm-thinking/talking-about-Zechs smile fades into a frown (gasp!). "Miss Relena, didn't Mr. Melliardo forbid you to have anything to with him?"
"Yes, he did, so what?" Relena snapped.
"You should obey him, he is your brother."
"Maybe, but love knows no law but itself." Relena says, eyes shining with a huge, vapid smile on her face.
Lani is trying to refrain from smacking them both upside the head. "Oh I almost forgot, Mr. Yuy wants to marry you tonight at the abbey on Laurel Street. He says he knows a monk there that can perform the ceremony."
"YAY!!!" Relena shouts excitedly, "I'm getting married, I'm getting married.." she sings.
Dorothy still looks troubled (at least as troubled as those eyebrows let her look).
At the abbey*...
"This is against my better judgement, Heero, but at least you're waiting until after the ceremony." Trowa comments to the stoic pilot waiting with him next to the altar.
"Hn," Heero agrees**, "Thank you Trowa."
At this point, Relena enters the chapel where the two pilots are waiting. "Heero?" she calls out timidly.
"I'm here." Heero goes to her and embraces her. He looks down at her dark, nondescript clothes and his omnipresent spandex shorts and green tank top. "I'm sorry about this, but I promise, once we move to Europe we'll renew our vows with full ceremony."
"I'm just glad we're doing this at all." Relena whispers, burying her face his tank top. "I love you."
Trowa clears his throat. "Can we start?"
"Well, Relena?" She nods, and the proceed to the altar.
"I'm going to skip the preliminaries and go to the vows, ok?" Trowa asks. They both nod. "Alright," Trowa assumes the mannerisms of a kindly father. "Heero Yuy, wilt thou take this woman, Relena Peacecraft..."
Much, much later....
Heero is climbing into Relena's bedroom through the window.
"I've never had to come in this way," Relena whispers as Heero turns around to give her a hand up, "It's a little exhilarating."
"If you think this is..." Heero murmurs, pulling her up to him. She smiles and nuzzles his cheek.
"I can hardly wait." She crosses her room and pears out the doorway. Seeing no one, she closes, locks and deadbolts the door. "Now we won't be disturbed." she whispers, returning to Heero. He embraces her tightly, lying his cheek on her head.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he whispers into her hair. In answer, Relena tilts her face up and kisses him passionately. The rest of the night passes without words.
To Be Continued...
WAIT!! This would make a cute ending, but it's not it! This is a tragedy, remember?
* Did I mention this is the one place in this fic that does not actually exist? I even have a basis for the Peacecraft mansion.
** You can tell what Heero means by "hn" by his tone. Sometimes.
All the sad stuff comes around in the next chapter. Then we have a chapter or so of angsty drama, then the "thus with a kiss I die" shit and reconciliation between the opposing groups. BORING!!!!! FAHGETTABOUTIT!!! Twisted ending, remember?
