Disclaimers: Life sucks. But I still don't own Gundam Wing, This will not change, as it has not changed for several years.

AN: Well, um. Oh in chapter 9, I used the line, "And Yuy, you be very good to her and very patient, and very kind or else you'll meet a friend of mine called the Tallgeese III." I kind of altered it to fit my story line, but I got the very basics of it from a movie. If you can guess which movie, I'll ……….. Um, I'll think of something. But please guess then either E-mail me, (at animeanjel_01@yahoo.com) or just put it in your reviews. (I love reviews) But anyway, I've been trying to remember to put that up for like who knows how long and I'm soooo happy that I actually remembered. On to the story.

~*~*~*~

Heero flipped the last of the switches which enabled him to contact earth. In a few moments a smiling red head about ten appeared on the screen. "Preventors Head quarters New York. Lady Une's office. How may I help you?"

Heero smirked. Obviously Lady Une had put her adopted daughter to work this summer. "Yes, may I speak with Lady Une?"

He was pleased to note that she put him through right away. When he saw the Lady's face his smile grew, "Lady Une, I have a favor to ask." 

~*~*~*~

"So… in effect as of yesterday…." Miliardo paused to see how long he could push his little sister before the threats came out.

Relena, in turn, huffed and pouted, "Oh, come on Milli," she teased knowing full well how much he hated being called that. (thank you Noin) "Just tell me already."

"Well, Noin and I are getting married." She immediately bounded into his arms and hugged him.

"So you gonna make me an aunt soon right. And according to my contract I get to spoil all nieces and nephews before sending them home to be complete brats. Also as prior to this announcement, I shouldn't be getting any little people to spoil for at least nine months after the wedding. Is that accurate?"

Zechs chuckled nervously, "Well, um, it's not really an issue here, we're both consenting adults. Wait…… This does not mean you get to do anything with that second best pilot in the universe Yuy."

Relena giggled, Heero appeared, smiling as he saw his girlfriend sitting in her big brother's lap. She smiled and pulled him down for kiss. Now, Zechs was about to puke but decided to be somewhat pleasant and pretend like having his little sister kiss some guy while she just happened to be sitting on him was no big thing.

She put an impish smile on her face when Heero broke away, "Speak of the devil and he appears," Relena said coyly. He picked her up and sat down with her on his lap when Zechs gave Heero such a look of disgust.

The lightning count grunted and left.

Relena smiled and put her head on Heero's chest, "Where've you been? You had better not have been attacking either Duo or Trowa. If you have you're in big trouble."

He shrugged and wrapped his arms around her. There was nothing he liked more than holding her. She was just so soft. "Nothing much. Rele-Chan, I love you."

Relena beamed, she adored the nickname he had given her. (AN: It's pronounced Reelee just in case) "I love you too, Heero." She took a deep breath before adding, "I'm glad you kidnapped me. I wish I didn't have to leave."

Heero was thinking the same thing; but he didn't say so. He wanted to build up first. "Rele-Chan, I'm not going to be around today. I've got some stuff to do today, but I'll meet you at midnight at the observation room. Alright?"

Relena rubbed her nose next to his. "Alright." He smiled and kissed her lightly before standing, Relena still in his arms.

"Now, I'm going to drop you off with Duo and Trowa to make sure you don't get yourself into any trouble."

She giggled again before sobering, "I think you can let me walk."

"No."

Finally, they got to where Trowa and Duo had been staying. They both kind of looked at them oddly and shrugged. Heero put Relena down and smiled, "Be good. See you later."

She sat down across from the two guys disappointedly; he didn't even kiss her good bye. Relena looked grimly at them. "I suppose you two have no idea what's up with him."

They both shook their heads, "No clue."

Relena sighed; midnight was a long time away, she had better try and make conversation with them or it was going to be very boring. But what topic? An odd thought occurred to her. "How come you guys came with?" she asked lightening up.

Duo shrugged, "Hildie's grandma's birthday is coming up. Hildie wanted to spend some time with her, but the old lady would have flipped if I came with. That's what Hildie told me, so here I am. Boredom at it's worst."

Relena shifted her gaze, "And what about you Trowa?"

The pilot in question smirked, "Heero caught me at a rather……inconvenient time."

"Let me guess, Dorothy was over."

"Yeah, well she heard about the little plot, and insisted that I help. 'I refuse to let you sit aside while a devious plan is afoot,' were her exact words. She refused to talk to me until this was over. Figures."

Relena gave a small snort; "I knew she was acting weird, even for Dorothy. What happened to Wufei and Quatre?"

 "Quatre's got some meetings and such to attend to and Wufei is covering as your body guard with Sally, to cover press. According to your advisors and the press you're in the middle of nowhere Minnesota, with Wufei and Sally as your bodyguards. That cover it?"

"Yeah," she half said, half sighed. It was going to be a very long while before midnight.

~*~*~*~

Heero let out a shaky breath; Relena was late. This was hard enough without having to think about it. "Come on Relena, where are you?"

"Right here Heero," Relena said closing the door behind her.

The perfect soldier walked to her and took her hands in his. There wasn't much to say right now, he wanted to build on something. She sighed and kissed him gently, "I missed you today. Duo and Trowa just aren't as good of company as you are."

Heero smirked and bent down to place a kiss on her neck, then continued placing little kisses over the rest of her neck, cheeks, and nose. Finally he ended up at her lips, gently kissing them as well.

"Relena," Heero whispered when they pulled away, "what will happen when you go back to earth?"

Relena could feel tears being created at that thought. She and Heero couldn't be together like this, like normal people, once she got back. Still she couldn't bear to think or speak that way. "I don't know Heero, but we'll work something out."

He pulled Relena closer, "I, thought of something."

She looked up at him. The way he said it sounded like he was talking about a plan he himself wasn't sure of.

"Why go back to earth. The world's been relying on you too long, don't you think the earth started handling their own problems?"

Relena stared at him in disbelief, "Heero, I'm not sure what you're getting at, but I think you're talking about me quitting my job," she trailed off.

Heero nodded, "Something like that. Relena, you don't have to do that anymore. Vice Foreign Minister should be given to someone new.'

"I'm sorry Heero, but that's not possible. My job is very important to me; I can't just up and quit. That would be irresponsible."

"To what?" Heero fired back, "To what to allow future generations to grow and solve their own problems? Or to go live your own life? Relena, you have dreams, aren't they important to you anymore?"

She looked away, "Yes they are, but Heero, it wouldn't work, there would be too many complications. It…"

"I never thought of you as a pessimist, Relena. And yes we can make it work you just said so yourself."

"We're talking about different situations, Heero."

"Relena, yes it will work. I got a job on a far off colony as a Preventor; I can get one for you too. You could take a college course and get your degree; I could too. Relena, we can make it work."

"Heero, unlike you, I have very important responsibilities. I can't just ignore them because I want something else. I come second now."

"Relena, you've come second for far too long. Aren't your own dreams important to you anymore? Am I important anymore?" Heero bit his lip. How had that slipped out? He didn't want to say that. He knew he was important to Relena, at least that's what he thought, but that was so blunt. So… Heero couldn't describe the feeling he received, or the look on her face.

She stepped out of his embrace with a broken heart and held his hands tightly, "Yes Heero, you are important to me. But I can't be selfish. The world needs me, I can't give it up because I want something else, I told you that already. Heero don't make me choose between my heart and my duties. Please." She was crying now. Heero was leaving her she knew it. "Heero.."

"Relena, the peace you're working so hard for, you can't do it on your own. That's the way your life was Relena. You're hurting the world more than helping it. If the peace can't last without you, then. Then it wasn't really peace in the first place."

She let go of his hands, "Then I guess, Heero, that I'll have to keep working so that the peace is maintained as long as it can. And I guess that since you're not willing to try to make this relationship work, than it's just like your idea of this peace. It's not really there. Heero, I've never had to end a relationship, I'm sorry if this is hard on you, I'm sorry if I disappointed you, but that is how it's got to be."

Relena didn't say anything more. She merely gave his hands one last squeeze, released them and walked away. Not even saying goodbye. And all Heero could do was stand there and watch as she made her way out. He felt an incredible rage begin to build; she had accused him of not trying when she herself wasn't any better. Heero refused to go after her. Maybe he was in too much of a shock from having the only girl he could ever love walk out on him or maybe it was his pride. Either way. He wanted to scream. There was no doubt about it; Relena was gone.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I am so mean! Yes I am! I stopped the chapter and there is nothing you folks can do about it! Be grateful I was going to stop the chapter before they even got to the observation room. I could have made you wait, but I was being grateful. So there. (Anyway, review, review, review or else I'll make you wait some more!)
