Happily Ever After
Heero watched the stars and ignored the slight throbbing in his leg. They'd completed the mission they'd been assigned with a few bruises and a slightly more busted up ship. He'd put the strange dream out of his mind but now that he had time to think questions were arising. Since that dream he'd had problems getting Relena out of his mind which was annoying him to no end. He was a solider and he should have been able to control his thoughts but all his learned skills were failing him. Maybe it was the drugs Wufei had put in his drink to ease the pain that was doing this which was just one more reason to be mad at his friend. He hated to be drugged up and Wufei knew that, which was probably why he'd done it in the first place Heero thought with a smirk. Well he had to do something about it, but what?
Milliardo looked at the papers in front of him and tried not to think about anything but the work at hand. It wasn't working and he knew it wasn't going to. Knowing that was just about as annoying as the fact that he couldn't seem to forget that weird dream. Maybe he should take over the controls, take his mind off of things. The ship was on autopilot at the moment and both Heero and Wufei were nearby, both seeming to have no problems going about their work. They'd been lucky Milliardo thought watching Heero rub his leg absently. The mines planted around the area they'd been infiltrating had gone off but they'd missed most of them, Heero had been hit by some stray sharpel and Wufei's arm was sprained from some to hand combat but all in all the two were alright. He'd been lucky enough to get some bruised ribs and some shallow cuts to go along with his already hurt face. They'd been lucky and had sent a message home that they'd be arriving shortly after eight o'clock that night. More then a little tired of paperwork Milliardo reminded himself that it was necessary and that at least he was alive to have to do it. Noin would drag him back up from hell if he were to dare die on her. Smiling at the image Milliardo had no problem seeing his girl take on Satan himself to get to him, she loved him that much. And he would do the same.
Wufei struggled to concentrate on his work while keeping an idea on the other two at the same time. He'd promised both Relena and Noin that he'd keep an eye on them and he was a man of his word. They were behaving at the moment so Wufei turned his eyes back to his papers, the words swimming in front of him. It was that dream Wufei thought with a bigger scowl then was normal. He had been trying for the last three days to interpet it but nothing he'd come up with had made enough sense to be correct. He'd always believed that his dreams had meaning but how could their be meaning for what he had dreamed? The situation, events and the character made no real sense so where did it all fit in?
"We should be there in about twenty minutes." Heero said breaking the silence as he looked up from his laptop where he'd been typing up his report on the mission.
"Good, real food." Wufei muttered as he stretched his fingers, which were sore from use. His other arm was bandaged and held in a sling by his side, which was annoying him to no end. He was looking forward to getting home to his apartment and lord knows how much paper work he'd have when they returned.
"Real bed." Milliardo said thinking of the nice, warm bed he'd be sleeping in that night. The fact that Noin would be there with him was a really nice bonus.
"Hey Wufei, what do you think dreams are?" Heero asked before he thought better of it. He could always blame it on the medication later anyway.
"What do you mean?" Wufei said in surprise that he had hit on the topic that he himself had been thinking about. Why would Yuy of all people have asked him such a question?
"In the Chinese culture aren't dreams suppose to be predictions for what is to come?" Heero asked casually as he leaned back in his seat, his eyes showing none of his curiosity over the subject.
"In some clans yes. In some its believed that dreams are to be studied for clues into understanding ones life while others believe that dreams are glimpses into another life, an alternate universe." Wufei said thoughtfully.
"In some culture dreams are suppose to be glimpses of past lives and the future to come." Milliardo piped out curious himself. He didn't think that his dreams had any real importance but he was curious to hear what others believed.
"Oh." Heero said thinking that that really didn't help him much.
"Do have a dream you want to analyze, Heero?" Wufei asked curiously, though his black eyes hid it well.
"No, it was just a dream, of no importance." Heero said stiffly thinking that he was lying through his teeth. This dream was bugging him like a nagging conscious and he wished to be rid of it once and for all.
"Did you have this strange dream on Thursday by any chance." Wufei said with a curious look as he wondered if it were possible that their strange dreams were related somehow. Maybe something they'd both eaten or drank?
"Yea, you?" Heero said in surprise.
"Yes, I've been trying to figure it out myself but haven't been able to understand its meaning." Wufei said thoughtfully as he regard his friend before his eyes turned to look at Milliardo. "Did you have any strange dreams that night too?"
"Well I wouldn't call it strange but it was unusual." Milliardo said carefully. "Do you think we came into contact with something that effected our minds temporarily?"
"It's possible but unlikely." Wufei said thinking it over. "The sensors in the ship would have picked it up if there was anything externally or internally wrong. But there does have to be some logical explanation as to why we experienced such strange visions. What happened in yours Heero?"
"What would be the point?" Heero said raising an eyebrow at his friend. None of them were friendly, friendly guys and weren't talkers.
"The point would be that maybe our dreams are connected someway." Wufei said and decided to go first. "In mine I was a man who was searching for someone who'd helped me in my past. I arrived at the place where we met to find it destroyed and in ruins by people who had been causing great trouble before they'd been stopped. At a tree that was sacred to the villagers who once lived there I found the person I had been looking for and we left the area together. Maxwell was there as well to help me find her and Sally represented the person I was looking for."
"In mine I was being hunted by the government during a war." Heero said carefully as he tried to put it in factual terms. "I was trying to get out of the country when I was stopped by one of their soldiers. I was going to fight my way out but Relena appeared and pretended to know me and talked the soldier into leaving me alone. We walked away and were then intercepted my another who wished to take Relena away and kill me. We fought and Relena knocked him out. I left the country but promised to return when the fighting was over." Heero finished look at Wufei who was regarding him with equal curiosity. "What do you think it means?"
"I don't know, both featured people we knew, a war and someone who wished us harm. What was yours like Milliardo?" Wufei asked, not really expecting for the other man to answer.
"I was an officer back from a war in a place called Kuwait." Milliardo said, too fascinated to really care about what he was saying. "It was really bad and I'd come home with Relena to visit old friends. Trowa, Duo, Noin and you." Milliardo said pointing at Heero. "It was strange because it was so real."
"Like it was a memory." Heero said and Milliardo nodded his agreement.
"Its possible that these could be memories." Wufei said thoughtfully as he tried to place the pieces of the puzzle with the little info he had.
"How could it possible be a memory, the year was 1940 and that was before colonies." Heero said remembering it as though it had really happened. "I did some background checking and the even really happened but I don't remember hearing about it until I look it up."
"Its possible that they were memories of our past lives, if one believes in such things." Wufei said as he looked everywhere but at them. "Of course there's probably a logical explanation, we just have to figure it out."
It was time to land the ship and already and they still hadn't come up with a logical explanation as to what had been a cause of their strange dreams which seemed to almost haunt them. Landing with a thud on the landing the men undid their safety belts and grabbing their duffel bags made their way to their loading bay. Not looking at each other the three opened the loading bay doors and as the large door lowered they saw five shapes coming towards them as they were illustrated in the lights surrounding the runway in the night's darkness. Duo, Sally, Relena, Noin and Trowa made their way towards them and when the door was finally open Heero activated the stairs and the three headed down to meet them.
Milliardo smiled when he saw Noin pick up speed and with a small smile picked up his own speed, meeting her half way. Instead of his usual warm greeting Milliardo smiled at her almost rakishly. "Missed me?"
"Maybe." Noin said as she raised an eyebrow at her finance's expression. Not that she minded being slowly eaten with his eyes but this was Peacecraft she was talking about, a kiss on the cheek in public would be unusual.
"Missed you." Milliardo said before drawing her into his arms to place a gentle but passionate kiss on her lips, a very long kiss.
"Wow." Relena said as she looked over at her brother in surprise; he was definitely not acting like himself. "What's gotten into him?" She asked looking over at Wufei and Heero who were both talking to Duo and Trowa. The way Heero had limped when he'd come down the stairs worried her but she knew better then to comment.
"Relena." Heero said as he walked towards her, leaving Wufei to tell Duo and Trowa all about the mission. When he'd seen her bathed in the lights from the building it had been like his dream all over again only he'd been coming to her as oppose to leaving her. The promise he'd made to her in his dream whirled in his head and even though every instinct told him to ignore his thoughts Heero couldn't get that last image of her out of his mind. He knew she cared about him, concern was in her eye as she watched him approach her and for the first time in a long time he'd admitted to himself that he liked it. He liked knowing she'd be here and that she cared whether he got back safe or not.
"Heero?" Relena said as she tried to read Heero's expression as he came to a stop in front of her. There was something in his eyes that she didn't recognize and yet some part of her did, but what did it mean?
"You missed me?" Heero asked simply as he kept his eyes on her.
"Hee..ro?" Relena managed to say before he drew her into a kiss that would have had Milliardo pulling out his gun if he hadn't been so busy kissing Noin. In true Rhett Butler style Heero even dipped her slightly but of course, she was too busy to really notice. Of course everyone else noticed and in a wise move Noin quickly grabbed Milliardo head before he could charge and kissed him with everything she had, distracting him quite nicely if she didn't say so herself.
"Shall we blow this joint?" Heero asked when he pulled away, his arms still loosely around her. Nodding weakly Relena allowed Heero to lead her towards the Preventers building leaving all the people who weren't being kissed or kissing looking on with shock.
"Well that was an unexpected side effect." Wufei commented in the silence that resonated as Relena and Heero walked away with Heero's arm wrapped around her waist. Rather weary Wufei watched Sally out of the corner of his eye; she was too busy staring at the pair to notice anyway.
"What happened to him?" Duo said as he struggled to get his jaw off the concrete. "Didn't he whack me upside the head before he left because I suggested he return Relena's feelings?"
"Bought time." Trowa said with one of his rare smiles. "So does their strange behavior have to do with something you gave them to behave?"
"I don't think so." Wufei said with a shrug. "Anyway lets go, I need some sleep. Onna, did you get the paper work done?" he asked as he and the other two walked past them.
"Most of it." Sally said just daring him with her eyes to argue with her over it. She was tired, irritable and she was worried about his arm. Now was not the time to piss her off.
"Good." Wufei said with a simple nod. She looked tired he thought and before he realized it he was turning around to face her. "You're tired, go to bed."
"What?" Sally said raising an eyebrow at his tone of voice. If she didn't know any better she'd have thought that he actually cared that she was exhausted from lack of sleep.
"I said go to bed, you're dead on your feet. We'll finish the rest of the paper work tomorrow." Wufei said with his usual voice when he was talking to her. Meaning it was a command she wasn't supposed to even think about disobeying.
"Maybe I will, and maybe I wont." Sally said before turning her back on him and heading for the building as well, a hint of a smile on her face when her back was turned. He'd cared enough to tell her to go to bed, that said something.
"What just happened here?" Milliardo asked when Noin finally let him up for air.
"No idea." Noin said with a cat that got the cream look. "But somehow I think that I'm going to be wishing on a lot more stars in the future."
"Oh yea?" Milliardo said with a questioning look in his eye as they followed the rest of the group, who were headed for the building. "Why would that be?"
"Because it works." Noin said wrapping her arms around his waist. "And I'll never say otherwise."

"It worked, it worked Blue Fairy!" Jimminy cried as he jumped up and down for joy. 'Oh thank you, thank you for making their wishes come true!"
"I was glad to help." The Blue Fairy said with a smile as she watched the cricket do a little tap dance. "But I couldn't have done it without C Queen of course."
"Oh yes, thank you too C Queen." Jimminy said smiling widely at the writer. "Thanks for giving this story a happily ever after."
"Well its not over yet Jimminy but yes, it will be a happy ending." C Queen said with a smile. "After all, when you wish upon a star, your dreams will come true."
