Part 11: The Empowerment
Relena and the crew arrived in Los Angeles at 11:30 at night.
" Hey, Zechs. Me and the gang were wondering if we could get something, to ya know, eat." Relena said, smiling at her brother. Duo, Wufei, Heero, Kele, and Trina looked extremely hungry.
" Tough." Zechs said, not looking up at his sister. He knew if he looked at her, he would give in like a wuss.
" Food! Food! Food!" Everyone but Heero yelled. Then a long stomach growl silenced everyone. Everyone looked back at Heero in utter shock.
" That was....nasty." Relena said. Heero smirked and shrugged. Relena smiled. Eventually, Zechs told the driver to stop. They stopped at Taco Bell. The drive thru was still open.
" Welcome to Taco Bell. What would like tonight?" The voice said. Relena looked at the list that everyone had made.
" I want eighteen hard shelled tacos, five Mexican pizzas, twelve beef Gorditas, and twenty Meximelts." Relena looked back at everyone.
" What do you guys want?" She asked, giggling. Everyone laughed.
At the hotel, Relena lye on her stomach while eating a hard taco. She was writing a new song. She was going to put this one out. This one was going to make you go, whoa, is that Relena singing? Relena smirked and continued writing.
Later that night, Relena lye, snuggled in Heero's arms as he protectively held her. Relena's eyes popped open. The balcony was open, slipping out of Heero's arms without waking him, She walked over to the glass doors. She looked out the door before she stepped out. Then, Relena was grabbed from behind. She struggled and struggled. The person was hit in the face by her elbow. She stumbled forward and almost fell over the edge.
The assailant came forward and pushed her as she turned around. Relena fell over the balcony railing, screaming. As she neared the ground, the last thing she saw was Heero's face.
" RELENA!! WAKE UP!!" Heero yelled. Relena was fighting in her sleep. She knocked Heero in his face. Heero fell back. She hit pretty hard.
" Oh, I'm so sorry." Relena went to him. As he looked up, she hit him again as her hands came down to the floor. Heero's lip was now busted.
" Just stop moving, Relena." Heero said. Relena stopped and looked ashamed. Heero kissed her and she sucked his bloody lip. She giggled as Zechs walked in. He shook his head.
" Relena, why don't get dressed so that you can go make this video." Zechs said. Relena nodded.
Later, Relena sat in the studio. Kele was helping her produce this song.
" This is a big change for you. You can't look sweet and fully- clothed in this video." Kele said. Relena smirked evilly.
" I know." She said, her voice dangerously low. Kele smiled. Duo did the beginning of the song, and Relena went in to start singing.
* Oh, I'm overdue
Give me some room
I'm coming through
Paid my dues
In the mood
Me and the girls gonna shake the room
DJ's spinnin' (Show your hands)
Let's get dirrty (That's my jam)
I need that, uh, to get me off
Sweatin' 'til my clothes come off
It's explosive, speaker are pumping
Still jumping, six in the morning
Table dancing, glasses are smashing
No question, time for some action
Temperature's up
'Bout to erupt
Gonna get my girls
Get your boys
Gonna make some noise*
Relena smiled at Kele who just shook her head.
Later at the video shoot, Relena was acting a little out of character. Solange was having none of it.
" What is with you, today. First you use this song, then you're dressed like a hooker."
" You know what, Solange? Shut the FUCK up! I am beautiful. I have a fucking great body. If I want the world to know that, then I'll deal with the damn consequences. I'm sick of being the 'good one.' I sick and damn tred of being the 'perfect pop singer.' So let me do MY fucking video and let ME direct MY fucking life. 'Kay?" Relena said. Solange frowned and nodded.
" Relena, you're needed on set." Relena walked away.
That night, after the shoot, Relena walked in the hotel's gym where Heero was. He was hitting a punching bag. Relena smiled.
" Hey!" She called. A sweaty and sexy Heero looked at her.
" Could you teach me how to throw a punch?" Relena asked. Heero smirked.
" Sure." After showing her how to stand, he held his hands up.
" Hit me with all the power you have." He said. Relena nodded and swung. She knocked Heero down.
" That was pretty good. Why are you so strong?"
" I bench 150, Heero. I'm not that weak." Relena said.
Two months later, Relena awoke. Heero was already gone. She sighed. He'd been doing that a lot lately. Not waiting for her to get up.
" Relena!" Kele burst in the room. Relena sat up.
" What is it?"
" You got nominated for a Grammy!" Kele was waving a piece of paper around like crazy. Relena nearly fainted.
" For ' Dirrty?' Are you serious?" Relena asked.
" YES! They want you to perform also. The Grammys are in two months. We have to get you that perfect dress. Relena this is your dream. It's finally coming true!" Kele yelled hugging her best friend. Relena never thought her breakout song would get a Grammy. Wait until Solange hears this.
AN: A Grammy? Are you really serious? Can she get this? Will something happen that fateful night? What will Solange think. Also, the song belongs to Christina Aguilera. Big props to her. I love her CD. Ya'll like how Solange got told off, right.
