Mac slept for two days straight. When she woke up, she walked out into the
living room of the suites and found everyone sitting around there, talking
in hushed tones.
"Well, look who decided to join us." Duo said in an overly cheerful, loud voice.
"Gah." She grunted.
"Oh! We have an early cave woman." Duo teased.
"Blah to you." She said, curling up around a pillow on the couch. "Miss Relena, I want to thank you."
"Please, Mac. It's Relena, and we have no need to be formal with each other when we aren't in public." Relena said.
"Okay, thanks Relena. I'm really grateful that you were there yesterday." Mac corrected.
"You mean two days ago." Duo said. Mac's jaw dropped.
"I slept for TWO DAYS?" she asked.
"Yep. You were wiped." Duo said.
"Heero, thanks for helping. I know you don't like me, so it means all the more." Mac said. Heero looked at Relena for support. Relena laughed.
"Oh Mac! Heero doesn't dislike you. He just doesn't know how to show his affection." Relena said. "I should know, he tried to kill me oh so many times."
"I know about that." Mac said. "So, you don't hate me? This is new. Here I thought that I had done something to offend you." Then, came a knock on the door. Duo went over an opened it.
"Yes?" he asked.
"A message for you and your friends, sir." The man said.
"Thanks." Duo closed the door and he came over and opened the note. He read it out loud to the group. "Dear pilots and Relena:
I have a few matters of business to work out with you. First off, we have a job opening for a certain girl if she wants to take it. Come see me to learn more about it. Secondly, we have had wonderful news. It seems that when you disappeared yesterday, the leader of the new terrorist group was killed. None of his successors survived and the only remaining people were soldiers. They all came over peacefully and are now in custody. I wonder if you had anything to do with that?
Sally"
Duo looked up and smiled. "A job? Are you going to take it?"
"Maybe, but I need to find out more about it." Mac said, sMilling. The group separated to go and teach their students. Relena and Mac were left in the room alone and they looked around.
"Mac, I know it was hard for you to kill him yesterday, but you had to protect your brother." Relena said finally.
"I know." Mac said.
"You still blame yourself though." Relena pointed out.
"Of course I do!" Mac yelled. "I killed him! I pointed a gun and pulled the trigger! I killed him. I'm to blame."
"Didn't you say you warned him before that if he tried to kill your brother and friends, you wouldn't hesitate to kill him?" Relena asked.
"Of course, but I loved him!" Mac choked out. She realized it was true. She did. "I loved him the way he was before he turned into the horrible man. He even revealed that boy that I loved the night before."
Relena raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. "But you proved who you loved more. Your brother, or Brian. I must say, you chose the right one. If you had let him kill Duo, you'd kill yourself. By killing Brian, you proved yourself even stronger than you thought you were."
Mac broke down again and cried. Relena held Mac as she cried. "A sixteen- year-old doesn't need to put up with this." Relena whispered.
"I'm not sixteen anymore." Mac said. Relena looked at her.
"What?"
"I'm not sixteen. I turned seventeen the day I killed Brian." Mac said. She smiled. "He gave me my birthday present before he died. Actually, he gave me two."
"And what were they?" Relena asked.
"Well, one of them was this." Mac held up a necklace. Relena looked closely at it and gasped.
"That's real silver!" she said.
"I know. It has our names engraved in it and it has a secret to it." Mac said.
"What's the secret?" Relena asked.
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret." Mac said.
"Okay, so what was the second present?" Mac blushed and Relena smiled. "Oh."
"What do you think they're talking about?" Duo asked Heero.
"Who?" he asked.
"Mac and Relena. I see them in the room through the window. Relena's looking at something Mac's got." Duo said. Duo pulled out a pair of binoculars from their holder in the wall next to him. He looked through them. "Heero, look at them and read their lips."
Heero did and told Duo what they were saying. "Relena said 'What was the second present.' And Mac's blushing. Now, Relena's sMilling."
Duo leaned up against the doorframe. "I wonder what she means."
Heero gave him a look. "My guess is that they were talking about what Brian gave her."
"Oh." Duo paused. "OH! If he weren't dead, I'd kill him!" Heero smirked.
"Gosh, what's taking them so long?" Duo asked Heero. Heero shrugged.
"I'd rather not go at all. It's a trainee graduation dance." Heero muttered. Just then, the girls came out of Mac's room and Duo let out a whistle.
"I wish you were my date tonight." Duo said.
"Which one of us?" Mac asked.
"Both." Duo said. Heero growled low in his throat at Duo and walked over to Relena and offered his arm. Duo smirked evilly. He went over to Mac and mockingly bowed low and offered his arm. "I will escort you to the ball and then I will sadly let you go to your date."
"Duo, stop teasing me." She blushed. She had a pale blue, shimmering dress on. It was a long, straight dress that went to her feet. Her auburn hair was up in a lose bun with little pieces falling down and framing her freckled face.
They made their way down to the gym. It was transformed. All the weights and equipment were gone and it had streamers and lights all over. A D.J. was up on a makeshift stage. Someone came over to Duo and Mac.
"Duo, can I have my date?" Sam asked.
"Do you really want her? I mean, she's not a virg-" Duo started. Mac elbowed him and blushed from head to toe.
"That's fine. Neither am I." Sam said.
"Didn't need to know that!" Mac said. "Too much information being exchanged here." She grabbed Sam's arm and pulled him away from Duo who was grinning evilly. She shot him a murderous look as she went with Sam. "Ignore him." She told Sam.
They spent the rest of the night dancing and eating and talking.
Meanwhile.
"Heero?"
"Hn?"
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Coming with me. Coming to this dance."
"Welcome."
"I really enjoy dancing. Especially with you. Do you remember the first time we danced?"
"Yes." Relena laid her head on Heero's shoulder and Heero smiled down at her. When the song was over, they sat down.
"I'm really glad you're here, Relena. I-I missed you." Heero murmured. Relena was touched because Heero hardly ever showed emotions.
"I'm glad I'm here too." She replied. He leaned down and kissed her.
"You know, you don't have to sleep on the couch." He murmured in her ear.
"I had a great time tonight Sam." Mac said.
"Me too." Sam said. They were standing outside her door.
"Sam. I need to tell you something." Mac said.
"What?"
"I got a job here. I'm going to be training next years trainees." She said.
"Good for you!" he said enthusiastically. "I have something to tell you too."
"What?"
"I've been elected to be the head of the new trainees at base." He said.
"Oh! That means that you'll be here! With me!" Mac burst out.
"I didn't know you cared." He teased.
"Oh, but I do. I know that sounds cheesy, but I've been cold long enough." She said. Sam looked in her eyes.
"I'm glad you chose me." He whispered. He leaned down and kissed her gently. She was surprised, but she didn't pull away; she liked it. He pulled away and looked at her.
"I'll see you tomorrow." She whispered.
"Ok. Oh, do you want to go out to dinner tomorrow?" Sam asked.
"Sure." Mac went inside her room and shut the door, running her fingers over her lower lip.
"Mac? Mac are you there?" a voice came over the computer.
"Milli?" she asked.
"Noin went into labor awhile ago and we now have children! I'm a dad!" he said.
"Congrats! Well!" Mac yelled.
"Twins! One boy, one girl!" Milliardo said. "Rose Kedzie and Brandon Patrick."
"Oh Milli! You named your girl after me! That's so nice! Thank you!" Mac squealed.
"Noin's idea." Milliardo said.
"I can come spend the summer with you guys helping with the babies, if you want." Mac offered.
"That would be great. I can't wait to see you. Neither can Noin." Milliardo said. "Bye."
"Bye." Mac signed off and lay on her bed. "Babies. Two of them. One named after me! Wow, what a year." And with that thought in her head, Mac rolled over and fell asleep.
Author's Note: Okay minna! I hope it made you happy, it made me happy. I don't know how the ending was, but it was kinda a happily ever after kinda thing. Do Mac and Sam get married? I dunno. It's up to them. I don't control them, they just started as mine, but now they have minds of their own. Do Heero and Relena get married? I dunno. A lot of peeps say they should, I think I'll leave that to the anime people over in Japan. Like I said, I want feedback.
"Well, look who decided to join us." Duo said in an overly cheerful, loud voice.
