Love and Tragedy Chapter 2

Written By BrittanyRae

"Maxwell!"

"Yes sir!"

"Corporal, We're sending you and your unit to fight the Nazis in France. Be ready to leave by tomorrow."

"Yes Sir!"

Corporal Duo Maxwell of the United States Army left to deliver the news to his men. Then jokingly he said to his men,

"Does anyone here know French? 'Cause if so you're ordering for us! I hear the French got some good food!"

"General Chang Wufei1 there's someone here to see you Sir!"

"Send them in Private."

"Sir!"

A young boy who looked about 15 walked into the tent and saluted Wufei.

"Sir I'd like to join up with you and your men." The young recruit said.

"Name?"

"Humong Ade, sir!"

"Age?"

"Fifteen."

"Any experience fighting?"

"I've been trained since I was three to be skilled in martial arts and I'm a skilled swordsman."

"Where are you from?"

"China, sir, I'm a member of the tiger clan."

"Really? I'm from the dragon clan."

"Then we're allies."

"Okay soldier sign up over there with my secretary and then go get yourself a uniform."

"Yes Sir!"

Relena walked up to the deck. Leaning against the railing she gazed out at the water. Casually she glanced to her left and to her right to see if any one was nearby. To her left there was no one but to her right was a young man who was also looking at the ocean. He had unruly dark brown and the most intense Prussian blue eyes she'd ever seen. He must have sensed he was being watched because he turned his head and looked at her.

"Can I help you?" he asked in monotone.

"No, I'm all right." She answered looking away.

Quietly she went back down to her room to get dressed for the ball being thrown on the ship that night. She'd bought her self a new dress especially for special occasions. It was dark blue silk and hung just below her knees. She curled her hair and pulled some of it back in a diamond-studded barrette. Then she put on diamond earrings and a matching necklace. Relena completed the outfit with a pair of dark blue high heels. Finally she went up to the grand ballroom to eat dinner and dance. Silently she entered the room and heads turned to stare at the young girl. Relena stood there unsure of where to go sit down until another arm slipped into hers. Startled Relena turned to see who her companion was. There stood the young man from before complete in Nazi uniform.

"Careful Relena. Mind your temper. Don't give yourself away." She told herself.

"You look lost. You can sit with me." He said in the same monotone.

"Thank you." She whispered.

The young soldier escorted Relena to an empty seat at the table where he and some other soldiers and a few other ladies were sitting. Then he sat down beside her.

"This is my sister Hallie." he gestured towards a pretty girl with curly dark brown hair and hazel eyes. "And this is Admiral Quinze and his wife, Lucinda." He motioned towards an older couple. "This is Captain Septum and his fiancée, Cynthia." He introduced a man with dark hair and a thin, bony, blonde, woman. "I'm Lieutenant Heero Yuy and your name is?"

"Relena Darlain." She told him lying about her last name, which was really Peacecraft.

"Nice to meet you Miss Relena." Lucinda greeted her.

"You too." Relena returned politely.

"Are traveling all alone Miss?" asked Quinze.

"Yes sir."

"How terribly lonely!" exclaimed Cynthia.

"How old are you?" asked Hallie.

"Fifteen."

"Isn't that your age Heero?" Commented Septum.

"Yes sir, and Hallie is fourteen."

After they finished their meal the couples walked out on to the dance floor. Relena danced with Heero and Hallie danced with a young private who introduced himself as Muller. After the dancing Heero escorted Relena back to her room. The next day at about 3:00 p.m. They arrived at London, England. Relena took herself shopping for a few more dresses and then paid for a carriage to drive her to the boarding school. At the front doors she was greeted by the head mistress of the school.

"Ahh you must be Relena! I'm so glad you made it! Dorothy will show you to your room."

"Thank you Miss."

"Dinner is at 5:30 sharp. You will get your schedule and begin classes tomorrow."

"Thank you."

Relena was showed to her room by Dorothy, a girl of 16 with incredibly long blonde hair and long, dark, forked eyebrows. After closing her door Relena put away her belongings and sat down on the window seat to read.

A plane landed at an airport in Paris and a line of soldiers filed off.

"Let's stop at the first restaurant we see!" Duo said. "I'm starved!"

Author's Note: Okay I forgot to do something in the last chapter. For those of you who don't know dilapidated

Means run down.

1- In the Chinese culture you say the last name before the first name.

Hope you're enjoying this so far! Review! Thanks a million!
