Relena Dorlain the Woman

Chapter three


Relena was confused on what he had to say and waited patiently. "I was wondering what you did with your hair?" Relena smiled brightly at him and laughed. Something she hadn't done with another person. "Well if you must know I have it at home in a plastic bag."


"What about selling it? I always thought you had nice hair." Relena smiled and said, "You know Duo that isn't too bad of an idea." Duo smiled at the former queen of the world and said, "So do I get some of the profits since I suggested the idea?" She said, "Hahaha no way you longer haired baka. Hahaha get away before I really hurt you." Relena was laughing hard, she was letting herself go.


Duo was laughing too, and realized this was the first time that he saw the princess laugh so much. Her laughter was something special indeed. Then he said to her, "Relena I have to go now but remember the hair. I know someone in the colony." She was smiling brightly, "I won't forget."


Duo walked away waving and soon was gone. "That crazy baka…" Relena walked away from her office entrance and started for home.


Relena opened her apartment door and dropped her brief case on the floor, locked the door and stepped into her bedroom. She opened her walk in closet and looked around for normal casual clothes. She sighed, I really hate my suits…what the hell is that? She pulled out a blue dress it was the one that she wore when she was younger. This brings back memories…


She didn't find anything that nice. Only conservative Vice Foreign Minister clothes that she hated. I'll just have to go shopping with Hilde in the colony. Relena managed to pack a small suitcase that she would be taking with her to the colony. She also remembered to pack her hair.


The very next day…


Relena rolled out of bed, took a quick shower and got some breakfast from her kitchen. Soon the door bell rang and she grabbed her coat and suitcase. Relena opened the door and saw Duo, "Good morning Duo." "Morning ojousan. Here let me take that for you." He took Relena's suitcase and they both headed for the elevator.


Six hours later, a lot of booze that Duo drank and a lot of lame airplane jokes later…


Relena was getting tired of the flight, but she didn't mind Duo he was that funny friend that you knew way back from high school. She stepped off the plane and Duo was a little behind because he was trying to tell the flight attendant another joke.


Relena was walking down the pathway looking for Hilde. "Relena! Hey Relena!" Relena turned to her left and saw her friend. She was smiling brightly at her. They both meet halfway, and hug each other. "Relena it's good to see you again." Relena smiled and replied, "It's good to see you too."


"So where's Duo?" Hilde said as she was looking behind Relena. "Oh he's still on the plane, trying to pick up a flight attendant I think." Hilde wasn't surprised to have Duo and his old ways. "Hmm I'm not surprised."


They both started to talking non-stop. "Hey I think that's Duo now." Hilde said pointing over Relena's shoulder. Relena looked over, and saw Duo walking towards them with a wide grin.


Both Relena and Duo got their bags and headed for Hilde's car. Duo was stuck in the back of the car while Relena and Hilde talked their heads off.


Relena felt good to let go and be just a normal woman talking about normal woman type problems. Duo was soon fast asleep with the two talking about fashion and latest celebrity gossip. "You're right Hilde Duo is just a big baby. I mean look at him sleep he's so cute." Relena whispered to Hilde. "Hey he's my guy so hands off."


"Whoa Hilde I had no idea." "Well we just started to go out and stuff." She said as she blushed. "That's so cute you have to tell me everything." They arrived at Hilde's house which was a block away from the scrap yard.


Soon Relena settled in at the guest room that Hilde had set up for Relena. She was tired from her trip to outer space and decided that she would unpack later. Relena changed out of her clothes and went to sleep.


Relena was having a dream. She was standing near a wishing well in a park, "So what do you wish for ojousan?" It was Duo had asked her. Relena took a moment and said, "I wish I could be a normal woman." Relena in her mind knew that it was a dream but whenever she had this dream about her wish; she had always wished to be with Heero but this time it was different.


Relena slowly opened her eyes and was a bit warm so she went to the window to open a crack; she stood at the window for a moment. What a strange dream, it's different this time. Yet I know it's what I want. Dreams never lie, they bring the truth to the light.


Relena got back into bed and fell asleep again. This time with no dream.
