Huzzah!! Here's my twelfth chapter, up and running! How does everyone
like it so far? I'm just making things up as I go so bear with my sudden
stuff. In other news, has anyone out there seen the alert on the music
downloading? They're gonna start fining people for it so I'd suggest that
everyone stop before they end up with a $2,500 fine on their shoulders!!
Anyway, back to my story, which is moving along slowly...

Last time:
"I don't know about everyone else, but there's a lot of things that need to be repaired and quite a few of us need rest." Noin stated, looking directly at the six youngest in the room.
Seeing protesting looks from the boys Une added, "Or we could lock you in your rooms and demand it."
Knowing when *not* to defy Lady Une Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, Relena and Duo; with the help of Hilde all exited the observatory with quick farewells to the others. As they separated, Relena chose to enter a room that wasn't hers, Heero's.
AND NOW:
The door swished shut from behind Relena and she was staring into darkness except for a small light from the corner of the room. Lying in the bed, under the blankets was Heero, looking stoic as ever. Quietly, she pulled a chair over to his bedside and set herself down, "I'm so sorry, this is my entire fault. If I had just been more responsible, you wouldn't have ever gone through that experience again." She whispered, tears trailing down her cheeks.
Relena gently stroked his cheek and kissed his forehead, "Please forgive me." Her tears fell and dropped down onto Heero's face. She leaned back and sobbed in her hands.
As the cool droplets hit his skin, his brow knitted and slowly, Heero's eyes opened. For a moment, he lay there, recollecting the events and in a sudden blur he sat up, "Relena!"
From next to him, she looked up, startled, "Heero?" She asked; half surprised, half hopefully.
He looked over at her, somewhat shocked to see her sitting next to him. Their eyes connected and emotions were shared, as well as memories of the past events. Suddenly, they were in each other's arms, a loving embrace. Relena continued to cry and Heero had to remind himself that this wasn't a dream.
After a few minutes of a comfortable silence, they pulled back and Heero spoke, "What happened?" He asked.
"Trinity came and we caught the bomber but we were careless and forgot to check him for the detonator." She replied quietly.
"Hn," He mumbled, "At least you're alive."
"And you too, I was really worried when I saw your eyes back there. I thought that you might never come back to me." She whispered.
"I'll always come back to you, Relena." He stated.
"That's good.." She murmured, eyes growing heavy. Carefully, Heero lifted her into his bed next to him and pulled the covers up. By then, she had let sleep claim her exhausted body and curled up next to Heero. Within minutes, he allowed himself to drift off as well, knowing that Relena was safe.
*~*~*~*~*
A few days later the five candidates were back in their meeting room with Heero Yuy, Trowa Barton, Lady Une, Relena Peacecraft, Lucretzia Noin, and Howard, "I'm sure you'd like to know why you've been called here, haven't you?" Une asked.
A few confused nods cued Relena to begin, "With the events over the past few days, some of our more experience candidate have dropped out. Therefore, your positions have been moved up. You will be assigned a team repairer. This is no low-level thing; having a repairer is a great honor. She must be treated with respect as you would your own suit."
"Your repairer will be with you in my class along with Howard's. If we see any signs of disrespect, the repairer will be transferred out of your unit." Trowa added.
"And," Noin budded in, "You better be extra nice to this one, 'cause she's my daughter." Her tone was warning and she sent a firm glare at Hein specially.
"So, meet Trinity Noin." Lady Une said as the door swished open. There stood the girl they had seen with Relena on the day Heero went ZERO. Her purple hair hung at her shoulders and she wore the traditional gray repairer uniform.
"Hello." She replied somewhat timidly.
Hayama sent her a flashy grin with a wave of his hand. Lady Une stood, "You are all dismissed until lessons with Barton." She snapped and filed out of the room with the others, leaving the candidates and Trinity in the room.
"Hi! My name's Hayama." The perky boy greeted.
"It's nice to meet you all." Trinity bowed politely. One by one, they all introduced themselves to the girl except Hein who glared at her. She didn't notice but Hayama obviously said something rather stupid and got the four into an argument.
The stoic boy brushed passed by Trinity and paused, "If you make my fail, I'll kill you." He whispered and left, leaving the violet haired girl in total shock, 'H-He's just like Heero.' She thought. (A.N: Deja vu, no? We all know where this gonna lead.)
"Trinity, Trinity?" Hayama asked, waving his hand in front of her face.
"Oh, yes?" She asked, snapping out of her dream state.
"We were askin' if it's cool gettin' to hang around with the Gundam Pilots and all those famous people." He repeated.
"Well, it is nice. I'm allowed to see their other sides, the ones that they don't show around in public." She replied cheerily, attempting to forget the cold boys' words.
"What's it like?" Asko asked.
She was about to respond when Relena poked her head back into the room, "Trinity, a couple of us are getting lunch. Do you wanna come?" She asked.
"Be right there." She called back. Relena nodded and ducked back out. Trinity turned to the shocked boys, "I'm sorry, I guess I'll tell you another time." She stated apologetically, "I'll see you in training." She smiled and ran out to catch up with Relena.
"Wow!" Kenichi exclaimed, "Getting invited to lunch with the big guys is a real honor."
"What did you expect?" Gares asked, "She is the daughter of the fiancee of Milliardo Peacecraft, Gundam Pilot of Epyon."
"I can't wait to get to know her!" Hayama exclaimed as they too walked off to the cafeteria.
********************
Holy shnickies! Noin has a daughter!!!!! Well, I want everyone to know that the next chapter doesn't fall into place with the rest of the story. It focuses on how Noin and Milliardo met and why Trinity is her daughter.
