AN: Yikes. No one liked my last chapter very much. And of course if any one had read my endnote and picked out all the capitol letters they would all know that I was continuing. I want to thank Mint, she gave me a very good idea. So if you didn't like the last chapter, this one should be better. Thanks Mint!

Heero laid his head against the cool glass of the observation room window. There was nothing else. Relena had disappeared. He felt depressed, locked into a deep sorrow that would never be lifted. After a moment of self-pity his anger grew. Relena just took the easy way out! She was supposed to be diplomatic, come up with all those crazy compromises that made every happy! And here she was, deserting him. Which made him question her motives. Was she using him? Just playing around and having some fun while there was time?! Work-a-holics. They hurt everyone.
Heero balled a fist and banged it against the window. He half hoped that if he hit it hard enough the glass would shatter like his soul. That the air would be sucked away into the void of space, taking his confused life with it. But, he knew that was impossible, the glass was practically unbreakable. Just like his spirit. If Relena wanted to end this then, he would end it. There were plenty of fish in the sea… He didn't believe it for a second. He wanted Relena back, she couldn't have been gone for more than an hour and he missed her terribly.
. I want this to end in friendship, Heero if nothing else. That's what she said, and she had asked him not to disappear. Maybe in a few years, they could be together again. As for now, Heero was hurt; almost unbearably so. In his frustration with life in general that he hit the glass again. "I knew this wouldn't work! I knew it!" He did it again, repeating the same simple phrase. A few tears slipped through his tightly shut eyelids. Heero was too caught up in his sorrow and rantings that he did not notice the other presence in the room, or the small hand slip into his that hung at his side.
Then a simple voice cut through everything, a soft voice as clear and beautiful as a bell asked, "What wouldn't work, Heero?"
Heero would know that voice anywhere. But he couldn't believe it. Her ship had taken off just a few minutes ago, the same ship he was positive she was on. Heero turned his head just slightly and caught a glimpse at her light brown hair. His gaze shifted a little more. He caught the side of her face. It was her!
Quick as lightning he had her in his arms and swinging through the air before she had a chance to utter a surprised 'Heero!' When he set her down he looked her straight in the face. She really was Relena, same bright blue eyes, same beautiful mouth, and same creamy skin. She was so beautiful. He pulled her close and buried his face in her hair.
~*~*~*~*~
Relena could hear his soft sobs, as he gently cried into her
hair. "Heero, please don't cry. I…I'm here. To stay."
Heero breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her tighter. "Why are you still
here?"
Now it was Relena's turn to cry, "I took one step on that shuttle and couldn't stop thinking about you. And when I was waiting for take off, I lost sight of everything I was leaving you for and all I could think of was you. Heero, I don't care what happens; I just want it to happen to US. Together."
Heero held her tight. He wasn't going to let go. Not for anything. He held her while she cried, when she finished. "Relena," was all he managed to get out.
She nodded her head, "Heero, I don't care if you both go to
college and become famous all over again, or if we live in the slums and work
in store selling auto parts. I just want to be with you. And I was wrong. I was
so afraid that when you asked me to come with you. I was afraid one day you'd
wake up and decided that everything was over. Or that you'd just disappear,
like you did during the war."
He was a little dumbfounded, but that was all right. Relena was here with him. Heero
buried his head in her hair again, just happy to have her back.
Relena moved back out of his embrace. When Heero looked at her surprised she merely kissed his lips. He didn't respond the first time but when he did, there was no stopping them. Heero thought that, for at least a brief moment, their hearts were beating like one. The couple had kissed passionately before, but so much as this kiss. There was joy, relief, happiness, re-birth, and every other positive emotion two people can share together.

Zechs exhaled deeply. The two most shocking things in his life happened in the last 24 hours. 1) his little sister refused Heero Yuy. And 2) she had come flying out of the terminal running faster than he had ever thought she could yelling a quick, 'Love, gotta find, Heero,' before she practically disappeared. Noin just told him that, 'It's a girl thing and she knew something like was going to happen all along.'
~ Women. I'll never understand them. ~ Noin sat down next to him. And he smiled, ~ no harm in trying to learn. ~

Epilogue.
5 years later.
Relena curled up in the arms of he fiancé. Colony x-1783729, really wasn't that bad. It was actually very quaint; there was very little big business. It had the set-up of a town from the 1800's. And she loved it. There weren't any bug business, just a school, a hospital, and another small company that was corporation that worked with the Preventors. Relena had her happy job working there, and Heero was the fabled, 'odd-ball' teacher that everyone sort of wanted but would prefer not to get. Teenagers were kind of found of him. He knew his history, but gave lots of homework. All in all, the two lived, the clichéd, 'happily ever after' life.
Tonight, was an interesting day. On T.V., was the yearly biography of 'Relena Peacecraft Darlain. And as the daily news put it, 'Five Years Without the Vice Foreign Minister, Peace Continues in Her Memory.' Everything seemed to be peaceful and happy for every one. She smiled and kissed he sleeping fiancé on the forehead. He stirred slightly. "Something wrong?"
"Not thing," she answered contentedly, "I just wanted to tell you how much I love you."
Heero smiled back, "I know that already. Now go back to sleep."
Relena breathed sigh of happiness, and soon fell into a light sleep. God, did she love that man of hers.

That's really it. I felt like being really cruel the last chapter so just chill. Anyway, two things I really want to clarify.
1) About Heero's OOC-ness. I made him specifically that way because he CHANGED. All that stuff about hanging with Trowa and learning about humanity caused him to be like that.
2) Chapters 11 and 12. Not only was it essential for Relena to do that, (The idea of a surprise ending) but, if you've ever had a fight with someone it takes a few days to realize that you/them did something foolish. They didn't have that time. Sooo…
3) Oh you know there's a third thing. 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." From chapter 9 came from a derivation from the line, "You be very good to her and very patient, and very kind or else you'll meet a friend of called Adolph," from the movie….. We're No Angels. It's an awesome movie; it takes place during Christmas, 18 something on Devil's Island. Very funny movie. If you haven't seen it, go watch it!
Chibi M-Chan: Well that's it folks, and remember review! This is our (Lit Tenshi's and mine) first completed chapter fic. Bye!
