The Epilogue

A week and a half later the G-boys found themselves once again in the Rosedale Hospital. But this time to their relief, it was to pick someone up rather than visit them. Among them was Relena whose face shone with the happiness all of them felt even if they didn't admit it verbally. Upon reaching their destination, room 015, Relena entered eagerly.

" Heero! Come on its time to go ...home." She finished awkwardly as she noticed that the room was empty and that the bed was neatly made.

Her heart began to pound hard in her chest. So many doubts now began to race through her mind. Had there been complications? Sure he was well enough to go home, but he was not fully recovered. Had they put him in intensive care? Was he all right? And if he was where in the world had he gone to, he knew they were coming. She felt a hand squeeze her shoulder and turned to see Duo.

"Where...where is he?"

Duo smirked at her, hoping to encourage her. "No worries, he has to be around here somewhere."

As if on cue, a very familiar voice coming from behind them all asked, "What are you guys doing in here just standing around?"

Relena's eyes widened as the rest of the pilots whom were standing behind her and Duo silently, turned to see the missing person they were looking for standing in the doorway with a smirk on his face.

The girl who was already near tears with worry nearly squealed at the sight of him as she rushed over to hug him. "Where in the world were you? You scared me for a minute there."

"For a minute? You were almost hyperventilating a minute ago." Duo said the humor evident in his voice.

Relena shot him a small glare as she turned expectantly to Heero, waiting for an answer.

He looked at her blankly for a moment and then calmly answered,

"I knew you guys were coming to pick me up today, so I went to wait in the lobby, I saw you come in but you all hopped onto the elevator before I could do or say anything."

It was the other's turn to stare at him blankly. Duo shook his head. "I say we leave him here another week on purpose." He stated with an evil smirk.

Heero was slightly shocked when everyone else nodded in agreement to the idea, but when Relena agreed so readily he realized that they were joking. The look on his face was precious to the others because he had never looked so shocked or confused as he did now. He knew that the hospital would have not let him leave on his own and if they really did leave him he really was at their mercy to be abandoned for any amount of time.

Wufei hid a smirk as he left and began to walk down the hallway with the others slowly following. Suddenly there was an explosion of laughter out of everyone upon thinking back the way Heero had looked. Quatre smiled at him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Come on, I'm sure you're eager to get home."

Heero nodded in agreement and followed them as they headed down the long hallway. Relena clung to his arm and the two walked as a couple. They were still awkward towards each other, but it was getting better and Heero was pleased to know that he could call her his girlfriend. He stopped a few feet behind his friends as the neared the elevator and turned to look at her.

"Relena..." he started softly.

Relena smiled warmly at him "Yes Heero?"

"Would you like to go on our...first date tomorrow?"

"Heero! I'd love to, but you have to rest you know you're not fully recovered."

"I've rested for a full week and a half staring at nothing but white walls, I'd say its time for some fresh air, don't you agree?" he asked with a small smile.

Relena could not resist his smile especially since it was so new to see him doing so more and more often. "Oh, all right then...but nothing to strenuous, okay?"

He nodded once "We'll just go out for lunch then."

"Perfect, but for right now, let's just get you home."

Heero nodded once again and they began to walk to the elevator again, unconsciously hand in hand as both daydreamed of the new life they were starting.
