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 now. 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 snagged your attention with that 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 4-by ~Crystal Delphina~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


Sally sipped on the small cup of orange juice she had bought in the hospital cafeteria. She was already half way through Relena's journal, though of course it had only been an hour. She had to rest her eyes though, and stretch her neck, and was happy to get up to get the beverage.

She used the back of her hands to rub her eyes quickly to try and rub the weariness from them. She looked
down to view the entry she had just read.

=~*~=
January 29 - A.C. 198

I had a meeting with Une and Sally this morning at the Preventers headquarters. It was one of the meetings we had every month so I could be updated on any new sparks or growing fires. Luckily, there haven't been any big ones this year. Maybe people are learning to except peace? I hope so.

It was going normal, but today Sally seemed rather withdrawn, and she wasn't talking and wasn't smiling as much. I'll have to question her about her attitude later. I hope it doesn't concern Wufei. Those two never usually get into major fights, but when they do, well... you avoid Wufei at all costs, and you let Sally have her space.

Une..., well she kept looking over at Sally, and then when she was finished with the both of us, and we were dismissed, she turned to look out the window. Something had to be wrong with her today too. Hopefully they'll both cheer up, and if they don't, well that's why I'm here. ^_^

This afternoon I had a lunch meeting with William Robertson. The kind man wanted to inform me about a small governmental conference his country had that he attended, and just wanted to assure me that they
only wanted to make sure two of the provinces in the country agreed to work together in a new mining operation that sat right on the border. Surprisingly, after all that, he asked me how I was holding up.

I really appreciate the old man, he is one of the few politicians I actually enjoy being around because I like his personality. He his not only wise, but honest in all fields also.

Anyway, he asked me how I was doing, and reminded me of the fact that I'm 18, and has the weight of the world on my shoulders, and it's been that way for two years already. I just gave a smile and assured him that I was fine, which is the truth. I love my job, it can be stressful at times, but I would gladly do it to know that people are safe, and the world doesn't have to be involved in war. That's all that matters.

It's time for me to head to bed now, but I'll make sure to find out what happened to Sally and Une that made them so quiet today.

=~*~=

Sally gave a smirk. She remembered that day faintly. Une had been informed of a terrorist attack that was
forming against the top political officials including Relena, that would all be meeting on a tour of the L3
colony cluster. However, she had been mad at Wufei over an argument they had had that day concerning
her safety and Relena's. Sally was going to accompany her, and even after she had proved herself time and time again of being strong to Wufei, he hadn't wanted her to go with Relena by herself. She remembered being furious at him, assuming that he didn't think she could take care of the two of them because she was 'weak' or some other excuse. He had eventually let her go and stopped grumbling, and they had been fine, but she never really did get an explanation from his reaction.

She just continued to read after finishing her drink knowing that the sooner she finished, the better. Time
was of the essence and she had to make sure to give the journal to the next person on the list.

"Did they find the group the assassin was associated with?" Noin whispered into the phone that was down
the hall from the waiting group of friends.

"Yes, we arrested them all, and they have been taken care of. It was rather quite small. We were all just
caught off guard, that's all.... How is she doing Noin?" Une asked in concern. She felt horrible that
Preventers hadn't noticed the fire sooner, and she blamed herself for letting the group of rebels get as far as they had.

"She's stable for right now, but.... if anything doesn't happen soon,... well, I just don't know," she started
with her eyes closed before Lady Une interrupted her.

"Don't even think that. You know Miss Relena is strong, and she will pull through, you just have to put
your faith in her."

"I know, it's just so hard, and all of us are just so depressed. She means so much to all of us."

"That reminds me, how's Zechs and Heero holding up?"

"They both haven't moved from leaning against the hall near her door for the last hour. The doctors kicked them out of her room because they said she needed a bit of space for a while. The poor doctors almost got killed, I'll tell you that though." Noin said with a small laugh, remembering how both of the men had threatened the doctors, until Noin reminded them that Relena's life depended on them.

"Une, she had a message for you and Mariemaia. She told me last night to have each of us read her journal, and she knew that you couldn't leave your post in this mayhem, so she asked me to relay a message to the both of you."

Une stayed quiet on her end of the phone waiting for Relena's words of wisdom.

"All she told me to tell you was that she knows that Mariemaia looks up to you, and that you treat her like
the child you could never have with Trieze. But don't baby her to much. Mariemaia informed Relena that she wanted to join the Preventers twice now, or at least begin training, and she didn't believe you would let her. Relena doesn't want Mariemaia to start into a battle life quite yet, but if she has Trieze's fighting and noble spirit, and your raising of the same kind, it won't be long..."

Une had had a feeling that Mariemaia was wanting to fight, and the girl had already approached her, but she had brushed her off. Une was musing over Relena's words when Noin began to speak again.

"She also wanted me to tell you that in case she doesn't make it, she loves you both, and that you have been the best guard and one of her closest friends that she has found. And she's glad she turned you down when you offered her the gun on MO II."

"I'm glad to, and I've tried my best to make everything up to her by trying to bring about peace the only way I know how. Tell her if she wakes up again, that I'll be forever sorry for the pain and grief I caused her family. Will you do that for me Noin? Please?"

"Yes of course. I have to go now, because I think someone else wants to make a call. I'll update you later
okay if anything changes."

"Thanks Noin. I'll keep praying, and I'll tell Mariemaia about everything. She's been crying since she
found out. Bye, and give everyone my support."

"Everyone has been upset since they found out. Bye, and I will." Noin said as she ended the conversation.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

- Sally, I know you love him, don't deny it- Sally kept repeating the words in her head that she had read in
the journal. It was the page addressed to her. She walked back towards the group that all turned towards her when they saw her enter.

She gave a glance towards the closed door that was Relena's room, the two men standing beside it, and then a quick glance over the room making eye contact with everyone, until she came across the last occupant and lingered. Sally, while still standing in the hallway entry, gave the journal to the person sitting in the chair that was against the wall that made part of the entrance. As the occupant of the chair rose to leave, she took their seat as they just gave a nod and walked out.

So there you guys go. Hope you enjoyed it. I have decided to stop the whole blackmailing thing by the way, so you guys should be happy. However the sooner you guys get the reviews going, the more I'll work on it and the happier I'll feel about it. Kinda like my other story "Dark Force" which I'm trying to decide if I should continue it or not because no one's been really reviewing. Oh, and that reminds me, I'm currently working on another GW fic that should come out in spring at the latest, and I'm going to be deleting two of my fics on ff.net. The reason why for those is so I can develop them further and then re-release them later. Those include "Hidden Secrets" and "Pink, the Color of my Heart (Sailor Moon)" Okay, now that I've updated you guys, go and review so I'll write the next chap for this. Seriously, how'd you guys like this one? I'm sorry it was so short by the way...
