****Wicked Design, Part Two: Pretty In Moonlight****

Relena looked up at the stars. How odd they seemed tonight. A few of those 'stars' were actually colonies. But those stars belonged to her, because on one of them, it could be any one, there was Heero Yuy, the love of her life. That little fact made the stars her own, just knowing she loved a person on one of them. She had to admit, she was in love with Heero, she adored him. But she wasn't obsessive like most people seemed to think. Her fists tightened around the rail she was holding onto. A few accidental bump ins and the world thinks you're obsessive.

Despite what most people thought, Heero was the last thing on her mind. She had other things to worry about- Relena was absolutely devoted to her job. She loved taking care of her people, she loved being needed. Yes, if one thing made Relena Peacecraft feel good, it was being needed. It partly came from her love of helping people.

Something else constantly nagged at Relena, though. Something else in the back of her head that made her depend on people depending on her. It's a confusing thought, I know. Relena looked down at herself. She was dressed completely inappropriately at the moment. Lately, she had lost her love of getting dressed up. Now, Relena preferred wearing jeans and a shirt, something highly inappropriate for a Queen.

A sigh escaped her lips as she began to pace back and forth on the balcony. Relena Peacecraft was confused. The dreams had been coming back to her, the dreams of a violet eyes assassin. He was kind and caring at one moment, and then the next minute he was lethal and deadly. But the dreams came in bits and pieces, just so cut up that Relena could make zero sense of them. She looked longingly at her bed. How she wanted to go to it...

But Relena couldn't. The dreams were not happy, they were frightening. The violet eyed assassin was someone close to her, she knew. Someone who she spoke with on a daily basis. But Relena didn't like to think about him being the cold blooded assassin in her dreams. Relena let out another sigh. She had seen him in battle, and he was lethal. But there was still that warmth to him. In her dreams, he was cold. Just plain cold. The thought sent chills down Relena's spine.

She wondered how her loss of sleep was affecting her duties as Queen of Earth. What an odd title. Queen of Earth. I can change so many people's life for better or for worse...

A smile came to her face. She whispered, "I could order a massacre if I wanted! So much power..." Relena looked back at her bed. "Time for a dream." Without fear or hesitation, Relena laid her head on the pillow and fell asleep immediately. But it was so strange that a second ago, she was filled with terror of her very own bed...

****an hour later****

Relena awoke and stretched. She could tell she hadn't been asleep long, but yet her pillow was drenched in sweat. Relena shook her head and sat up. She slid off the edge of her bed and walked out onto her balcony. A full moon was in clear view. Relena looked up at it, as if it had beckoned to her.

Then it began.

Cells rearranged themselves and priorities were diminished and then rebuilt. Mercy and innocence were manipulated in an instant. Her eyes were suddenly filled with pain, as if someone had stabbed at them. Relena cried out in pain. She tore at her eyes, begging for the pain to stop.

Then, as sudden as it happened, the pain stopped. It simply went away. Relena staggered for a moment, and then she finally stood up. Her manner had changed, oh so slightly. A servant man ran into the room.

"'Lena-sama," he cried, "are you ok?"

Relena looked at him. She cocked her head. "Yes, I'm fine. Leave. Now," she ordered. He nodded and sped out of the room. Relena walked off of her balcony into her room.

"It's so...childish," Relena whispered. She glanced into the mirror. Her reflection did not surprise her.

Blonde-brown hair, high cheekbones and a defined chin. Small nose, and big eyes.

Big, silver, eyes.

People will ask questions about that. A ray of moonlight filtered through the glass doors that led out onto the balcony. She smiled at her reflection.

Oh, I do look pretty in moonlight.
