Relena Peacecraft stood on the stage. Cameras from around the world and colonies zoomed in on her as she gave her speech.

"We are all the same on the inside. There is no reason to fight. Differences make this world unique. Differences strenghten our opinons and help us see from other perspectives. We wouldn't be who we are today if we aren't influenced by both the Earth and Colonies. There is no reason to fight. In wars lives are lost. In wars, families are torn apart. Nothing comes out of it, nothing is gained. Only sorrow.

"How can you sit at home and support a war when you know that somewhere, a family much like yours is being killed? Sons, fathers, daughters, sisters, brothers, and mothers are killed. Arguments and disputes can be settled with speech. Blood shed is not necessary." she said.

Heero stood on top of a balcony watching the speeches. His eyes and ears where open, trained to pick out an assassin if necessary. The other pilots where stationed around the room. Heero watched as Relena Peacecraft left the stage.

Slowly, the media and audience left the room and finally, it was empty.

"Phew! What a crowd." Duo said, "There were so many people, I'm pretty sure I would've lost the assasin if there was one!"

"Yeah, so many people wanted to hear this speech by Relena." Quatre said, "Do you think they all support pacifism or are thinking about it?"

"No, not a chance!" Duo said, "There's always some people out there who wants to start a war for whatever reason."

"I agree." Trowa said, "Life will never be perfect."

Hotaru woke to find herself washed up on a beach of white sand.

"Ugh... what a trip!" she mumbled, "Definitely not first class. First, I walk into this misted place, completely disoriented and then I find myself falling into water. And now, I'm damp and sandy."

Hotaru got up and attempted to brush off the sand only to find more sand. It was so quiet there. It reminded her of being alone. She didn't like it.

"Well, what did Setsuna say again?" she said, trying to fill the silence, "Oh yes, I will age when I get here. Hmmm...did I age? Do I feel older?"

She walked to the beach and looked at her reflection in the water.

"Yup, definitely older." Hotaru mumbled, "I think I'm... 15. Now what do I do about clothes? Food? Shelter? Oh dear. I have no idea. Wow...I have wings...maybe I should get rid of them if I am to be normal."

She focused on hiding her wings and then stood up smiling. Hotaru bent down and splashed some water on her face. Hearing someone come up behind her, she spun around.

Heero walked away from the meeting. Another boring speech of the same thing by Relena. Unbelievably, people find her speeches motivational. He shoke his head.

He found himself at the same spot he was yesterday when he made that wish. Heero sighed and let himself stare out into the ocean. A movement drew his eyes to a being on the beach, attempting to dust herself off.

Dressed in white robes, she reminded him of an angel. Wait! Were those wings he saw? He blink and focused his eyes again. No, just a trick of the light. He ran down to find out who this person was.

Hotaru found herself face to face with a japenese boy around 16.

"Who are you?" she asked, surprised.

He stood, slightly transfixed, "Heero, Heero Yuy."

Hotaru smiled, "That name suits you. I'm Hotaru Tomoe. Nice to meet you, Heero."

Heero nodded.

"Where's Heero?" Duo asked, "He disappeared again and I think I know why."

Relena walked up. "Did you see Heero anywhere?" she asked.

"Nope. I think he left after your speech." Quatre said.

"All right, if you see him, tell him we need to talk." Relena said.

"Sure thing." Quatre replied.

Relena walked away.

"Well, let's go find Heero." Duo said, "Come on, I'm not going to do this alone."

Duo walked out with the other pilots following him.

- -- - -- - -- Half an hour later-- - -- - --

"Where is he?" Duo asked.

"No idea." Quatre said.

"Is that him?" Trowa asked, pointing to a speck in the distance.

"Yep, that's him all right." Duo said, "YO HEERO!"
