This is based on The Swan Princess, just twisted. It's a AU fic the first one I will ever complete. I say it is based on it because I have added things and changed the plot around so it will be nothing like The Swan Princess but there. What ya gonna do?

Notes: Right, in this part we found out the truth about Relena and Heero's relationship straight from the horses mouth. And Trieze puts his plan into action.
The Swan Prince – Part Two
"What do you mean!?" Odin yelled at Heero.
"It's simple I don't love her Father and I don't wish to marry her."
Heero and Odin stood in Heero's bedroom. Relena, Millardo and Noin had retried a few minutes early and Odin had gone to tell his son on the wedding plans and Heero had told him no.
"You don't love her?"
"No."
"But you said that she looked gorgeous."
"There's a difference between love and looking gorgeous."
Quatre, Trowa and Wufei sat in the bathroom, which enjoined to the prince's chambers. They had been talking to the prince about Relena when Heero had received the knock on his door. They had hidden in the bathroom while Odin told Heero he was to marry Relena on his up coming birthday.
"I don't love her. I barely like her."
"Heero you must marry her. It ensures the safer of our two kingdoms."
"I cannot stand in front of god and pledge my life to some one who I don't love. Don't force me in to this father. Give me a few days to think it over and than I will decide whether I can marry her or not."
The next second a door opened and than banged shut.
Heero turned to the shut door of the bathroom.
"He's gone."
The three scrambled out. Wufei was holding a tissue to his nose to stop it from bleeding.
"Wufei?"
He pointed at Quatre and Trowa who both had hard ons. Heero pointed at his door and they rushed out of towards they bedroom.
"Sorry Wu. I didn't know they couldn't keep their hands of each other."
Wufei mumbled something about injustice and walked out to find Sally and she if she could do something about the bloody mess that he called a nose.
Heero smiled as his friends left the room before turning and flopping down on the bed.
~Flashback~
"Oh Heero. It's so pretty."
"I'm glad you like it. It reminds me of my mother."
Relena looked at Heero.
"How?"
"Cause she loved it up here with nothing to trouble her. I can't really miss her cause I never knew her. But it still hurts."
Heero leaned down over the balcony and looked across the kingdom that one-day would be his. Relena touched his shoulder gently.
"I know. No matter how much time goes by it still hurts to think of them."
"Richard?"
"I wish I knew what happened to him. Sometimes I think he is still alive, half of me hopes he is but even if he is I doubt that he would remember me."
Her smile was fake. Her eyes stared into the distance with thoughts of her older brother. She took a deep breath and than looked Heero straight in the eye.
"I'm gonna call it a night."
"Good night Princess Relena."
"Good night Prince Heero."
Heero leaned down and placed a soft kiss against her lips and he knew then that he didn't love Relena.
She walked off looking back once at the figure that now leaned back out over the balcony.
There had been nothing in the kiss. It had meant nothing to Heero.
Relena passed Quatre, Trowa and Wufei as she exited the room.
~End flashback~
Heero sighed and silently wished he knew who he was suppose to spend his life with.
If it wasn't Relena… than who?

Duo followed Trieze through the forest. He eased Shinigami after Epyon. Trieze had made it clear only Duo and Trieze were going with their horses.
Shinigami and Epyon where gonna be teleported back to the place where they had left Dorothy and Une where Duo and Trieze reached the outskirts of Odin's kingdom.
The forest covered the area between Trieze's palace and Odin's kingdom was huge. Not a normal man could get through it with out at least a horse and ten bags of water and food, but than Duo and Trieze weren't normal as such.
"Get off now Duo. We walk the rest of the way."
Duo swung off and patted Shinigami gently on the head before his horse disappeared.
"Uh Treize?"
Trieze looked at Duo and raised an eyebrow.
"How are we getting home?"
"Magic."
"And what exactly are we doing again?"
"Taking what is rightfully mine."
"And we get that home by… what magic?"
"Yes!" Treize snapped at Duo who cringed backwards.
Trieze was the only one that Duo was truly afraid off as Trieze had a way of using Duo's powers and could turn the tables on Duo. Trieze didn't normally get angry but tonight had to go just right if not, his life was at stake.
Duo sensing Trieze's angry decide it was best to be quiet and do as he was told but Duo wasn't known for being quiet so as they started to walk he started to sing quietly.
Trieze turned and looked at Duo but said nothing as Duo continued to sing under his breath. Trieze smiled he didn't know that Duo had such a lovely tenor.
The two wizards came out of the forest at the back of the palace and Trieze grabbed hold of Duo's wrist.
Once again Trieze muttered foreign words and him and Duo disappeared.
The difference between Trieze's magic and Duo's magic was that Duo could do it by thinking about it where as Trieze had to use words. The only problem with Duo's magic working by thinking was that so many thoughts went through Duo's head that if he tried to use his powers most likely than not he would be distracted half way through. That's Duo for ya! J
Duo and Trieze reappeared deep in the palace outside Prince Heero's room.
_
Heero, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei were all in Heero's room talking about the hunt that was going to take place the next day.
It was Quatre who had some wizard blood in him that realised something was wrong.
What was wrong he couldn't tell but it had Heero reaching for his sword under his pillow. Quatre had good senses and Heero trusted his friend with his life.
"What can you sense?"
"A power. Very strong power. Heading this way."
"Where is it Quatre?"
"Outside the door."
Just than the door opened and than shut. A man and a boy appeared.
Heero recognised one as Trieze, the boy he didn't know.
"Trieze."
"Heero Yuy Lowe."
Trieze smirked and his hand tighten round the boy's wrist, which caused him to yelp in pain.
"Sorry Duo."
Duo glared at Trieze and than looked round the room. Heero stood with a sword in hand in front of three other boys. One had light blond hair, one brown hair and the other jet-black hair.
Trieze exploded the room with a flash of light.
The next thing Heero knew was he and his three friends were in a forest. Trieze stood over them.
Trieze muttered words and in Quatre place became a small bird, in Wufei's place was a dragon and Trowa turned into a tortoise. He chained them together with Duo's power and than turned to Heero.
The sword tighten in Heero's grip.
"That isn't gonna save you now my Prince."
_
Duo looked down at the swan.
Heero had reminded him of someone but he didn't know whom he reminded him off.
Duo felt used. His power had been used to take four boys from their home and into a strange place and than turned them into animals.
Duo dried his wet eyes and turned away from the piecing gaze of the swan.
Hated shone in them and it made Duo wince as if he had been hit.
Trieze stood next to Duo and placed a hand on Duo's shoulder.
"Well done my son."
Duo shuddered and Trieze walked off leaving Duo standing in a small patch of moonlight on the edge of a lake.
He turned back to the swan and sighed.
"I'm sorry."
But the swan turned away from him.
Duo recalled the Prussian eyes of the beautiful boy that was now a swan.
Duo felt cheap and dirty.
Duo was ashamed.
"If I could I would help… but I can't… I'm sorry."
And Duo fled to the safety of his room.
Heero looked back as the violet-eyed boy ran off.
He could have sworn that there were tears in those depths.
Quatre flew near to Heero and smiled at him.
"It will be alright Heero. Help will be on its way. I'm sure of it."
Heero was amazed to find that he could understand what Quatre was saying.
"Thanks Quatre. We will get out of this I'm sure."
"He might help us?"
"Who?"
"That boy."
Heero looked back up at the palace to see a figure appear at a balcony and look over it at the lake. A long braid hanged over the edge.
And Heero knew that it was a tear that landed in the lake that caused ripples to form.
"The boy was crying… why?"
