Finding the Other Half of My Soul - Prologue: A Wish For Love
Dorothy sat in her room at Relena's mansion, feeling an emptiness yawning deep in her soul. She was so lonely and nothing she tried seemed to aleviate it. " Why can't I be anything but lonely?" she whispered into the darkness. A lone tear slid down her pale cheek, unnoticed.

Quatre sat up in his bed in his home on L4, his breath coming in harsh gasps, clutching his heart. 'Whose pain am I feeling?' he asked himself silently. His eyes widened when a vision of Dorothy's face flashed across his mind. "Miss Dorothy? It's her pain I'm feeling?" he whispered in disbelief.

Relena lay on her bed, her face buried in her pillow to muffle her heartwrenching sobs. She had to be strong during the day, to keep up the appearance of happiness so the people wouldn't give up faith in a united peace, but at night, when she was alone, she could let it all out. She was so lonely and felt so empty inside.

Heero stood outside on Relena's balcony, fists clenched as he listened to her cry, but he didn't leave his position. He didn't believe that he was worthy enough to be with someone as pure a Relena, didn't believe he deserved her love. But he wanted desperately to be able to go and comfort her.

Dorothy walked over to the window and opened it to look out at the stars. "I don't want to be alone anymore. I want to be loved." She whispered her wish to the first star she saw. She closed her eyes and repeated the wish with all her soul. Then she opened her eyes, and after looking at the night sky for a moment longer, closed the window and went to bed.
~*~
Relena finally cried herself out and dried her eyes. She slid off the bed and padded silently on bare feet out onto the balcony. She closed her eyes and lifted her face up to the sky. "I wish that I had someone to love who loved me in return. I don't want to be alone anymore," she said softly, wanting her wish to come true desperately.

Heero slid further into the shadows when he saw Relena walk onto the balcony. He couldn't let her see him. It took every bit of his willpower to stop himself from showing himself to Relena and offering his heart to her. 'I'm not worthy enough to have her love. She should be with someone deserving,' he thought silently. 'But I wish I were the one she'll spend therest of her life with.'
~*~
Quatre lay back down on his bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling. He could still fell Dorothy's pain lingering in his heart. 'I wish I could help her, take her pain away," he thought. 'I wish I could be there for her.'
