Dear Brother,
I must say that this vacation that Noin proposed is going rather well. However, I do not think you would approve of my actions of late. Still, I plan to enjoy this vacation to it's fullest, so do not call me back earlier than required.

Sincerely,
Relena.

Milliardo Peacecraft blinked and suspicion rose. Why had she chosen to stay and not complain? Normally she would ask when she return, and make the soonest time possible to. Now it was 'please let me stay as long as possible'?

Something must have happened. And, as older brothers go, they always want to know what's going on in the lives of younger sisters.

What's worse is when older brothers have the power to do just that. Milliardo was one. He picked up a phone near his desk and dailed a number. When it was answered, the long haired man smiled.

"Hello? I'd like one of you to..."

. . .

"Kiss me again," sky blue eyes shined sleepily and Hilde laughed at the gentle demand.

"So demanding," Hilde said and leaned her face ino Relena's and did what she was asked.

The two lay in bed, enjoying the warmth eachother and the sunrise in the cool, crisp morning air.

Unusual. Normally they were up by now. Relena was not one to sleep in, and Hilde was still doing her job. Confused but polite, a blonde haired man rang the doorbell once more.

Annoyed by the ringing, Hilde gently ended the kisses and got up, putting a long shirt over herself before answering. "Hello--Quatre?" Her voice filled with mild suprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I was asked to check things out. Milliardo thought something might be wrong since by now she's normally begging to come home," Quatre answered.

"Relena's just taking a much needed vacation. She isn't complaining because i'm not letting her!" Hilde grinned.

The rich blonde boy shrugged and smiled sweetly in his trademark way. Relena walked into view and waved to Quatre. She had quickly dressed and now decided to greet her friend.

"Hello, Relena."

"Hi, Quatre!" her blonde hair fell around her shoulders and she smiled cheerfully. "What are you doing here?" she asked. She had not heard the conversation between Quatre and Hilde.

Quatre explained, this time to Relena. A frown crossed the once queen of the world and she was tempted to slam the door shut on the once gundam pilot. Tempted to, but couldn't bring herself to, for she knew he meant well. She knew her brother meant well.

But...Relena grimaced inwardly. Her brother would not approve of a relationship with Hilde, no matter how much they loved each other.

Silently she apologized to the blonde haired pilot. She and Hilde would have to keep it a secret from him.

"So, since I'm here anyway...would you two mind going out to dinner...as friends?" Quatre added the last part quickly.

Hilde laughed. "Fine. Pick us up around...seven 'o clock, kay?"

Relena laughed this time, and Quatre chuckled.

"Sure." Quatre smiled.

Hilde and Relena spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon happily together, then got ready for dinner with Quatre.

. . .

The doorbell rang and the two women opened the door to find, obviously, Quatre on the other side. He was dressed casually, just like Relena and Hilde. The only special things they wore were pieces of jewelry, and even that was a casual thing.

Relena smiled at Quatre and his cheeks flushed slightly red. The blonde woman blinked and wondered why. Hilde noted it, realizing what the cause probably was.

"Thanks for picking us up, Quatre," Hilde said, reminding him of her presence. Quatre blinked, looked at Hilde for a moment, them smiled.

The three walked out of the apartment building and Quatre guestured to a rather normal teal car. Both women blinked and stared in suprise.

Quatre saw their expressions and his own grew dismayed. "I thought you would prefer a more casual car instead of the usual. If you disapprove, I'll request another car." At his words, they were reminded of how rich he really was.

Relena shook her head quickly. "N, no! This is great! It's just we expected the burden of a richly done vehicle."

Hilde nodded. Quatre beamed at the fact that he had assumed correctly.

When they got closer, Quatre opened the door for Hilde and Relena to get in before going to the drivers' seat in the front.

And so they were off.

"Looks like a nice place," Hilde commented on the restaraunt when they got out of the car and had a look at where they would be eating.

The blonde man gave a friendly smile. "I've been told the food here is good, and that the atmosphere is friendly."

"Ah," Relena said, and Hilde began walking towards the doors.

"C'mon already, I'm hungry!" the blue pixie-like woman stated, looking back at the two blondes.

They blinked, laughed, and ran to catch up to her.
