CHAPTER 6


Summer Fun

"Ms. Peacecraft?" The captain stepped out of the cockpit after several minutes of flying. "It'll be a while before we reach. And I checked the weather forecast with control tower, they reported that it should be smooth flying all the way, but there might be a slight disturbance when we fly over the pacific."

"How is the weather in Hawaii?" She took in all the information on the weather she was just given.

"The weather in Hawaii seems to be clear with slight passing showers here and there. It's scattered all over the islands. But other than that, it seems that your vacation there will be almost perfect." He gave a sight smile at her, reassuring that she'd have a good time.

Relena nodded her head at that and thanked the captain. Signaling for him to leave. *Hope the vacation will be as good as he says. Even though I hope for better. But as long as I can spend time with my friends and Heero . . .*

Thoughts drifted as she turned to look at him. ~Smirk~ *He's sleeping already.* Relena shook her head and leaned back into her chair. *I wonder what Heero is planning on doing . . . maybe he's . . . going . . . to th . . .* An unfinished thought. The princess fell asleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

*Finally, she's asleep.* But of course, Heero only pretended to sleep. *Now to look at those roses.* Heero stealthily got out of his seat, grabbed the roses and note, and went to the back of the cabin. To his surprise, he found a laptop computer resting on a corner desk. *Now why . . . stupid question Yuy. She put it there for you.* Heero shook his head and went to sit at the desk. *It's even in the shadows of the cabin. Relena . . .*

Heero inspected the arrangement of the roses and its placement. Once he knew the layout of it, he carefully unwrapped the bouquet and laid out each rose separately. He examined every single one before placing it down. *Nothing on the roses. Not even a toxin in the scent.* Heero's eyes narrowed in suspicion. *That still doesn't mean a damn thing.* Heero then began looking at the wrappings of the bouquet. Looking for anything unusual. *Nothing . . . it's just a regular bunch of roses.* Heero still seemed puzzled at this sudden appearance of flowers. *Somethings not right . . . but what is it?!*

Frustrated, Heero gave up on searching the bouquet and began putting it together again. When it was finished, no one but Heero would know that it was taken apart. It was put back into its original arrangement. ~Smirk~ *She'll never know.* Heero walked stealthily back to Relena's side, place the bouquet where it was, then walked to the back of the cabin as quietly as he walked to the front.

*Alright, let's see if this note has any clues as to who this person is.* Heero picked the note up again and read it. * "I'm always watching you." What the hell does that mean?! Everyone is always watching her; the media, her friends, her brother, me . . .* Heero's head raced with both questions and answers, but there was more questions than answers. And most questions, he had no answers to.

Heero rubbed his temples, not realizing that he spent over several hours trying to figure things out. He even tried using the laptop to find answers. If one saw him, they'd try and tell him to stop and take a break. Or maybe even better, give it up. That it seemed like he was doing endless searching and typing. Heero took a look at the four words again. * "I'm always watching you . . . "I'm always watching you" . . . Damn it! I can't figure out one damn thing!* Heero sighed and decided that he should take a look at this matter later. *There hasn't been any sign that this was an attempt to hurt Relena. If anything else turns up, maybe then I'll have a better picture of this . . . this mystery.*

Heero got up from the desk after he shut off the computer. He grabbed the note and stuffed it into his pocket, checking for his gun at the same time. *Good thing I brought it along.*

Again, he walked stealthily towards the front of the cabin. He sat down in the same chair next to Relena and shut his eyes. After a few antagonizing minutes, he fell asleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A while later . . .

"Mmm . . ." Relena stirred a bit. *Why is it so cold? . . . Hmn, what's this? Oh who cares, as long . . . as it's . . . warm . . .* She drifted deeply back into her dream.

Relena unconsciously snuggled close to Heero, her head resting on his right arm. But what was even more sweet was what Heero did. He, also unconsciously, pulled Relena closer to him. Both enjoying each other's warmth.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(AN: I don't how else to put this, so to save me from embarrassment, I'll do this)
Lightning split the sky, with a loud crash.

"AHH!!" Relena was rudely awaken from the tropical storm on the side of them, and grabbed onto Heero's arm tightly and shut her eyes closed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Heero stirred a bit at the loud thunder, but then was awaken by something holding onto his arm, trembling. *What's goi . . .*

"Relena?" His prussian blue eyes looked down to a honey-blond head girl.

Relena looked up, only to be captured into his intense gaze. She was drowning herself in his eyes, forgetting everything around her. Even the storm that was outside the plane. If she could, she would stay like that the rest of the flight, looking into those eyes. But she was brought back to reality with another loud crash of lightning. She buried her face into Heero's arm, again, trembling.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Heero, was also lost in Relena's eyes. He could see straight into her soul, all her emotions. She displayed it all in her eyes, for all to see. But there was one thing that she showed to only a few people. And Heero was one of them. She showed her love for her very close friends and brother, her only blood relative. But Heero, he had something more than just that. In her eyes he could see that she not only gave him her love, but with something, more . . .

He was then brought back to reality before he discovered what else she held and gave to him. He gave a slight chuckle at the sight before him. Relena Peacecraft, the very girl who stood in front of him countless times when his gun was aimed straight for her heart, and even dared for him to pull the trigger, was scared of a little thunder.

"Scared, Relena?!" Was that enthusiasm in his voice?!

Again, Relena forgot all about the storm, and looked up at Heero, shocked. "Did I just hear you, Heero Yuy, the "perfect soldier," mock me about being scared of thunder?!"

Another loud crash of thunder, and Relena hid her face again.

Instead of a smirk, Herro gave off a small smile. *If she's going to do this all the time when there's a storm . . .* Heero shook the thought off.

*What the hell are you thinking Yuy?!

{What else, you having a good time with Relena. You know you two should really get hoo . . . }*

Heero shut his thoughts out of his mind. "Relena, it's only a small storm that's close to us. We're not in the storm. Besides, don't you remember the captain saying that we might have a 'slight disturbance' when we reach the pacific?"

Relena looked up at him and said, "Yes, I do remember he said that. But I didn't expect a 'small storm' right to the side of us!"

Heero tried his best to surpress his laughter, but couldn't and Relena heard a few chuckles escape his lips. "I'm sorry Relena. It's just that . . ."

"'It's just that' what?! That I'm afraid of thunderstorms and not gun barrels?!" She asked in mockery.

Heero was about to say something, but decided not to. Instead, he thought up of something else. "Why don't you go back to sleep, Relena. It's going to be a while more before we land."

"I can't sleep in this kind of weather!" Relena began. "I'm too . . ." She was silenced by Heero's fingertips at her lips.

"It's alright. You can sleep on my shoulder . . . and for more reassurance, I'll stay up till we pass the storm. Okay?"

Relena was going to argue, but then realized what he just said. *Okay, am I really with Heero Yuy? No better yet, am I dreaming?!* Relena couldn't believe what he just said. *Relena, don't try to contradict him and take up on this opportunity!*

Heero was still waiting for a response. But after a while, Relena nodded her head at him and snuggled closer to him. Not too soon after that, the princess fell asleep again. But this time she fell asleep right on Heero's shoulder.

*Sweet dreams, my angel.*



AN: aww . . . ain't that sweet!?! c'mon, admit it. it was practically 'perfect'! I mean, no one's really scared of storms unless they're a child or something. I think storms are kool. The lightning and all. I love watching it. But, I still get scared if it wakes me up in the middle of the night, or any other time I'm sleeping. But you have to admit . . . it was a perfect scene for all the above, right!?!

Thanx to all you ppl who read mi story . . . and I love ya more if you also review and send mi your comments. ^-^ So you know what that means . . . send mi your reviewz and I'll give ya the next chapter. (which is already written) I guess you could say that I'm on a roll here, he hee. I actually have several chapters already written!! ^o^

Oh . . . and one more thing. The sleeping on the shoulder thing was the idea of mi friend Trelane. But the rest of it, the storm and stuff, waz all mi. But if it weren't for this idea in the first place, that stuff wouldn't have happened. So ppl, don't just credit mi . . . but him too, k!! ^-^
