Relena Dorlain the Woman



Chapter four



Relena got out of bed and was greeted with the scent of pancakes. Relena took a shower, got dressed and started to walk towards the kitchen. "Good morning Relena.", "Morning Hilde." Relena took a seat at the table and looked at the small kitchen. In many ways Relena was jealous of all the things that Hilde had.



Hilde had a love of a kind, and strong man. She lived with him happily, her life was simple but she was truly happy. Most of all Hilde was just a normal woman, with normal problems. Relena envied her greatly. I wish I had that.



"Relena?" Relena looked over at Hilde near the stove. "Relena I asked you what you were going to do today. I mean it's not everyday the Vice Foreign Minister gets a day off." Relena just nodded, "Yes your right Hilde. I was thinking about going for a walk." Hilde placed several pancakes on Relena's plate. "Thank you Hilde. But don't you think this is too much?" Hilde just shook her head but smiled at her. Relena smiled brightly at her and started to eat her stack.



While the two sat there eating Relena had to bring it up. "Hilde you know I'm sorta jealous of you." Hilde looked up at her with her mouth full, looking shocked. "What?" She said with her mouth half full. "I mean look at you Hilde; you're a normal woman with normal problems. You live here happily with the one you love. I truly envy your happiness."



"Relena you don't understand do you? There is no such thing as normal, what you perceive to be normal is not to many people. You are the one to decide your choices in life. Believing in the path you've chosen. I chose to be with Duo. You chose to be the Vice Foreign Minister in order for the worlds to unite as one. The space colonies and earth; they are united as one because of you." Hilde meant every word and looking at Relena cautiously; she just sat there listening to her speech. "Hilde…when did you get so wise?"



Hilde breathed a sigh of relief, "My path in life led me to these beliefs." Relena nodded at her last comment and decided to say, "Hilde if you don't mind I would like to take a walk." Hilde got out of her seat escorted her to the exit. "Relena think about what I said. Just believe in yourself."

It was early in the morning and she took her time to walk around. Relena saw something out of the corner of her eye. She saw a water fountain; it was much like the one in her dream. Relena walked towards it, she sat on a park bench nearby.



Relena noticed a person sitting on the other side. She was writing something down on a notepad. Relena decided that this person looked very familiar. She couldn't help but walk to the other side and look at that person.



"Dorothy Catalonia." She looked up from the park bench. Her eyes still the same light blue and her eyebrows still the same. "Miss Relena how lovely to see you again." Relena nodded, "Can I sit next to you?" Dorothy nodded. "Of course Miss Relena." They sat there together looking at the water fountain.


"Charming isn't it?" Relena looked at the other woman and asked, "What is?" Dorothy looked at her and said, "I mean the world Miss Relena. The world you created with total pacifism. This is your ideal world. Even though I lived in a world of battle all my life. I can't help but feel grateful that it is all over. You are the one to thank Miss Relena."



Relena was taken aback at Dorothy's blunt honesty. "I don't know what to say Dorothy. But I did not create this world by myself; everyone that believed in pacifism help create this world we now live in." Dorothy gave Relena a smug smile, "That's exactly what I thought you would say. Whoever created this world of pacifism, I am grateful."



Relena smiled at her. "I'm happy for you Dorothy." Dorothy smiled, "May I ask you something?" Relena looked over at her and said, "What is it?"



"Do you still miss him?"



Relena knew it was about Heero. "No I don't miss him anymore because he is part of the past. Let's just leave things to the past and look for a better future." Dorothy nodded, "Well I'd better get going. He's so lost without me; men without their woman are pathetic." She started to get up. "We should get together and talk about the past ok Miss Relena?" Relena nodded. She couldn't help but think about Dorothy's last comment.



Relena sat there for a moment longer, and decided it was time to walk back to Hilde's.

"Relena you're back early. Did you think about what I said?" Relena nodded. "Good. I was hoping that you would want to go shopping with me today."



"Of course I would love too. But what about Duo?" Hilde replied, "He's gonna stay home work on a few things." The two women walked happily towards the mall.



"You know Hilde I saw Dorothy today. She sure looked happy." Hilde nodded, "Oh you mean the one with the weird eyebrows?" Relena smiled, "Yes she is the one. But she is really different this time because she does not thirst for war anymore." Hilde let her continue, "I never realized what an impact I've made in so many people's lives." Hilde said, "You underestimate yourself. You are important to this world."



Relena nodded, "I know that now, I suppose." Hilde took her hand and said, "C'mon let's not talk about the world, let's just shop!" Hilde dragged Relena beside her; they two were running towards the mall.



They were both laughing happily and that was how the two women started their day.
