Disclaimer: I no own + I poor = don't sue. Oh by the by, who'd you

like to see Dorothy with. She better now and after time, I believe she'd

be a better person. Tell me and we'll see, but remember I still can over

ride you. It's my story after all!

===============================================================



The gleaming glint of pale gold flashed in the moonlight as Relena Darlian walked across the roof of the apartment she now lived in. Her bare feet felt to coolness of the cement when she carefully stepped up onto the ledge and searched the city. It's bright lights shown as far as she could see.

The Vice Foreign Minister then turned her gaze downwards to the street over some 20 stories below. She didn't turn when she heard the soft footfalls coming form behind her. "It wouldn't be that hard to end it right now with just a step forward."

"I know this Miss Relena," came the voice of Dorothy

Catalonia. She was also dressed for bed. Her night gown mirrored the Minister's with the exception of difference in colour. They were both long silk sleeveless gowns tied in the back. Dorothy's was jade green and Relena's was a soft peach.

Relena snorted. "Yes, I realize this Dorothy." The wheat blond haired girl kept her blue orbs downward. "It would be so easy. The world is at peace. The colonies and Earth are now working together with out me playing reff for them. Hell, life is so 'perfect' no one wants, nor needs the 'Queen of the World' anymore."

"That's not true," Dorothy said but didn't step forward. She remained where she was.

"I know you don't, but sorry Dorothy.... That's just not enough for me or anyone."

"But there are others."

Relena turned around and glared at the pale blond woman. "Like who?" she asked.

"The pilots," she stated quietly, but then regretted the words when they left her mouth.

The other pilots," Relena raged. The former Queen of the

world turned around and stepped off the ledge, headed towards the pale blue eyed girl. Her normally kind, soft features were tight and drawn. The usually soulful bright ocean orbs were now dark, hard, and cold with anger.

"Well as for 'them'," she started and circled Dorothy once and then looked her straight in the eyes. The older woman flinched slightly, but stood her ground and stared right back at the princess. "Quatre has his company and family to worry about. Trowa and his sister Catherine are somewhere giving a performance. Wufie doesn't like me and Sally is with him. Hirde is no where to be found. The same for Duo as well. Une died three years back. Zechs is now too busy with his life to care at all about me and Noin is trying to fix up what he messes up, she is going to burn herself out."

Relena ran an hand through her unbound hair and looked back at where she was longingly. *It could be so easy*

"What about Heero?" Dorothy asked pointing to Relena's left hand where a small diamond on a gold band sparkled.

"Heero is DEAD!!!" Relena screamed as she tore the ring off and flung it to the other side of the roof. Then Vice Foreign Minister dropped to her knees, as the tears broke free from their barriers and flowed down her cheeks.

Dorothy stood there a moment in shock and then came to her senses. She kneeled next to the wheat haired girl and pulled her to her own body. Dorothy rocked her gently. *Heero's dead?!?!? How? When?* Then her pale eyes widened. *No wonder you has been distance all of a sudden. Not eating much, not sleeping much and that vacant look in your eyes. You've kept this a secret Relena. But for how long and at what cost?*

Dorothy lifted up Relena's chin and stared into the tear filled ocean depts. "How long ago?" she asked quietly.

"Three weeks," she replied with trembling lips.

"That long ago and you didn't tell anyone. Relena. Why?"

Dorothy searched the princess's eyes for an answer.

Relena shook her head in dismay. "I don't know why....." she trailed off and hung her head.

"Shhh, its ok Relena. Just relax and we'll figure this out. But for now let's get you to bed hummm?" At Relena's nod, Dorothy helped the princess up off the ground and together they slowly made their way inside.

Still on the roof, the forgotten ring still sparkled in the moonlight.

===============================================================

Hummm, should I continue? I know I killed off Heero, too cliché? But did I really kill him? Should I let you choose? Oh the possibilities. Bye for now. Wind to thy wings~LK
