Disclaimer: Guess what? I still don't own them. :: gasps heard everywhere :: I know, I know, it breaks my heart too. Nevertheless, that's okay, I'll just keep writing these fics for you. :)
Hello everyone. This will be, let me see, I believe my fifth GW fic. And to think, I just started writing in November 2000. I'm very proud of myself. Well, let me warn you know. This will turn angst very shortly, like next chapter, so don't be fooled. If you're expecting one of my happy sappy fics (though of course, I don't think any of mine are that sappy) don't look here. Yes there will be fluff at the end but let me explain this fic to you a bit. Welcome to the thoughts of Relena Dorlain Peacecraft. In a few short chapters, you will begin to read her secret journal, but I won't give away the whole plot. You'll soon see. So just read, and I hope I sort of snag your attention with this first misleading chapter. Damn, I basically told you the plot again. Oh well. On with the story. I'm sure you'll still enjoy it either way.
Last Words: Chapter 2-by ~Crystal Delphina~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was a beautiful sunny morning, and Relena purposefully woke up early to enjoy the artificial sunlight of the colonies and go to an early breakfast. Of course she would leave a note for Millardo and Noin to tell them that she would be back soon. And if she didn't return after 11am without calling they could call the police and search for her.
She took her shower and dressed quickly, wanting to get out of the hotel before anyone could wake up. She planned leaving her room perfectly because right at 6:30am the guards switched duty and she had a 5 minute open space. She wrote the note and left it on her bed and waited until she could hear the two guards shuffle down the hall.
She smiled and looked one last time at the room to make sure that the note was easily visible and walked out to enjoy a bit of freedom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She walked and enjoyed the morning without everyone up and bustling about. She walked through a nearby park and just let herself wander around in the wooded area and get lost. This is what she had worked so hard for. So that she could enjoy peaceful moments like this. She loved her life. Only every now and then, would she yearn for someone to share it with. However she would dismiss the idea without a second thought. She had her family and friends, and that was all that really mattered.
She stopped and mulled for a bit about the information Duo and Hilde had presented to her last night. So Heero was back in contact with everyone? That was good to know that he was doing better. She wondered how the last three years had treated him, and if he really was still the young soldier minded boy, or had he grown into a young man with at least some emotions to guide his heart and mind. She began walking again and looked at her watch. It was 8am, the restaurant she wanted to try should be open now. People were beginning to fill the streets. She began to jog a bit towards the restaurant, her hair pulled back swung back and forth across her back. She was dressed as any normal civilian, and hopefully would lower her chances of being recognized.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She finished her order of French toast. She loved the stuff and had it whenever she could, which was rare. She had asked to sit outside on the patio in the back of the restaurant. There were only a small handful of other diners out there with her. She took a small sip of her orange juice and looked around at the people around her.
One of her favorite activities was to people watch. She would just sit there and try to figure out what they were either talking or thinking about by watching their facial expressions. It was crucial in politics to have this down when discussing treaties and such. You needed to try and figure out what the two delegates felt about the agreement. She had became very good at it.
Across from her and to the left a little bit was a man and a woman sitting by themselves talking quietly. They seemed to both be upset about something, but Relena didn't like to eavesdrop a lot, so she moved on to the next table. A young man was sitting there with a cellphone chatting away and kept arranging himself. He seemed to be one of those types that is always fast moving and doesn't take a second to look at the world around them. She continued to look at the last two tables. One seemed to be a happy little family of three, with a little girl that seemed about four. She had a bright smile on that was a smile of unknown hardships this world is made of. Innocent and sweet, hopefully she wouldn't have to face the most horrible hardship of war, and what it does to your heart. With Relena, it tore her heart up to see all those young soldiers sent to their graves. And then later to have to witness time and again her friends go off to fight and herself just left behind to fight as best as she knew how. With her mind. She could easily outsmart most of the older ambassadors an such type. They all respected her now, but back during the war, it was difficult time.
She saw her waitress coming out with her order and looked at the last man in the corner. He had his elbows on the table with his eyes cast down. He seemed to be deep in thought. He had on a dark green long sleeved shirt with an ordinary pair of jeans. He had brown hair, and she couldn't see his eyes. She just assumed that something was troubling this man.
The waitress was now at her table and put her order on the table. Relena thanked her and smiled at the good looking meal. The waitress left and Relena put the napkin in her lap and picked up a fork. She was about to take a small bite when she felt a presence above her and immediately went on a defensive mode. Her body tensed a bit and she quickly looked up hoping it was the waitress back with possibly some extra maple syrup for her to use.
She was met with Prussian eyes and gasped.
"You know that you really shouldn't be by yourself here Re.. I mean Lena." the young man she had seen earlier softly said.
She just sat there shocked. But managed to get out a few words.
"How'd you manage to find me?" She quickly regained her composure and smiled. It had been three years, and she wasn't about to scare him away by acting like a scared mouse.
"Do you mind if I sit down? I'll answer any questions you may have."
She nodded her head and actually took him in. He really did seem to be kinder now. His voice wasn't that monotone that she hated and loved at the same time. It had a hint of, well if she dared call it that, compassion.
"I actually didn't find you. I just happened to be having breakfast here. Interesting coincidence." He kept his back straight in the chair and looked straight at her, his eyes and voice still having that cold edge to them.
"Oh okay then. So how have you been Heero? I heard that you went to go visit Hilde and Duo a couple of days ago."
"Yeah, I did. I knew that they had married last year, but was a bit surprised about there little surprise. I've been doing well for myself. Dr. J asked me if I wanted to continue fighting this year and I just simply answered no. I haven't been doing any killing because I know that would go against my promise, just little missions. What about you? I've heard in some media papers that your thinking about resigning next year? Is that true?"
"Well it's good to know you've been doing well. It has been hard work maintaining peace but I think it is finally stable. I am thinking about resigning next year just so that I can begin to lead a life. Also I think the world is ready for some fresh blood with new ideas. I don't know for sure yet though. I could always try and rebuild the Sanc Kingdom one more time to set up another school there. I've been thinking more and more about it though."
"Really? Well whatever decision you make should do okay. It's good to see you again Lena. But back to my first point, why are you out here without any sort of protection?" His voice became slightly stern and she couldn't help but giggle a bit at the likeness of a reaction her brother would have.
"Because I wanted a few hours of freedom. Don't worry, I'll be heading back soon. Heero, do you mind if I ask you kind of a difficult question?"
"No."
Right to the point as always. "Why did you finally decide to come back and, well, are you staying for good this time?" It was kind of difficult to ask on her part. She refused to cry though if he said he was just staying for a short period.
"Well I do plan on staying, and the reason why is simple. I wanted to see everyone again Relena, and come back in contact with humanity and my own heart. I wanted to see you."
She was so happy she did begin to cry even though she scolded herself. She was smiling, and her heart seemed to open up. She sighed and managed to talk through her tears.
"Oh Heero..."
And as soon as the words left her mouth, she heard a huge popping sound. That was when she felt the horrible pain though. A searing burning pain went through her abdomen and she doubled over and heard Heero shouting her name. She still had tears of joy and pain mixed on her face, and she managed to say on last word before she descended into a darkness that was frightening.
"Heero..."
So there you guys go. Hope you enjoyed. Now, onto the blackmail. If you read my fics every so often, you know that there is a system that goes along with it. In my very first fic, I demanded that if I didn't get at least 10 reviews a chapter, I wouldn't go on. Well ya know what? That is just plain cruel. Especially when about 90% of you guys don't even bother to ever write a review after reading a fic. I mean, I know I sure don't. Nevertheless, I'm going to try one more time. However, I only want at least five reviews this time. I mean I love encouragement, because I personally think I suck, so if you want this fic to continue, review me. Go right ahead and say that I suck, because it will only improve my writing, but you have to give a reason why. Like I'm not including enough detail or something. Okay you have been warned. Okay, I admit that this fic kinda rushes through but.... I think this will work. OH, and I'll get right to work on my other fic "Once So Long Ago". Bye my faithful (hopefully reviewing) readers! ;-) Ciao! ~Crystal Delphina~
