The War Starts

Lady Une, the 17-year-old princess of the Romefeller Kingdom, sighed, wringing her hands as she looked out her carriage window.

She was so in love with Trieze! What had that Leia done to deserve him, to have a child with him? It should've been her!

She leaned her head against the carriage door in defeat and sadness. It was only getting worse, now that her father, King Dur Male, had declared war on both the Oz and Sanq Kingdoms. There was no way she could even dream about winning Trieze now.

"Problem, sister?"

Lady Une glanced sideways at her 14-year-old half-sister, Dorothy. Children of two different marriages, they had immense differences in appearance. Lady Une's hair and eyes were brown, her eyes the darker shade, whereas Dorothy's hair was bright blonde and her eyes dark green. Both of them, however, could relate in the loss of a mother, one in childbirth and the other in murder.

"It's nothing, Dorothy," Lady Une led, turning her gaze to a glittering lake they passed on the dusty road.

The carriage stopped in front of the Romefeller Palace, and both girls stepped out. "Your Highnesses," a page said, approaching them, "His Majesty the King requests his daughters' presence in the Throne Room."

"Thank you, Quinze," Dorothy said. Lady Une just shrugged, not listening, and looked around distractedly.

"You sent for us, Father?" Dorothy said, curtseying, spreading her black dress with her hands. Lady Une stood ot Dorothy's right, a few feet backwards.

"Yes, of course," he said. "I have a mission for you, Dorothy."

"I'm honored, Father."

"Hm. Well, as you can see, our forces failed to kill Princess Relena."

"And you want me to do the job for them."

"Smart lass. You will go under the disguise as a peacemaker working against me. Woo them into believing you, and then kill her!"

"Of course, Father." Dorothy curtsied again and slipped quietly out of the room, Lady Une following her, with a look of horror on her face.

"I don't know why they only want me to kill Relena," Dorothy said in the hallway. "I could just kill the lot of just as easy."

Lady Une turned and stared at her half-sister for a few seconds. Then she turned and ran down the hall to her own chambers. She slammed the door and locked it.

She pulled up a chair and entered her computer. Even someone as remotely connected to Treize as Relena needed protection from Lady Une's father and half-sister.

Her hand flew over the keyboard as she brought up her video e-mail.

The Mauguanat Kingdom. She remotely remembered her father planning to declare war on them as well as Oz and Sanq. It was best that she warned them. She, unlike Relena, paid attention to politics, and knew that the Mauguanat king was planning to visit Sanq soon. He could warn them.

She typed in the code for the Mauguanat kingdom. Hopefully, someone would see her message.

Quatre, the prince of the Mauguanat Kingdom, sat at the computer in the military bunker. He was worried. Three neighboring countries were all in a war. God only knew when they would be dragged in.

"Lady Une to Mauguanat kingdom. Do you read me?"

Quatre stared at the face on the screen. He vaguely recognized her face from a picture he'd seen once.

"Prince Quatre here."

"Oh, thank God. This is Princess Lady Une of the Romefeller Kingdom. I'm calling to warn you that Romefeller is plotting to attack the Mauguanat kingdom. Also, a second attempt on the life Princess Relena of Sanc will be made by my younger sister, Dorothy. The death of Relena and the attack will most likely correspond. Prepare your troops for battle and send a warning to Relena. Over." She disappeared, daring not to say any more. It would be too risky to leave a lengthy message.

Quatre stood up from the computer. He turned and fled the bunker, his steps echoing, as he headed towards the palace.

"Heero?"

Heero froze in place. "Yes?"

"Where are you going, Heero?" Relena asked.

"Out."

"Where to?"

"None of your business."

"Heero?"

But he had disappeared.

"Sophie."

A little girl with light brown hair and sapphire eyes, clutching a small, tan-colored puppy, looked up from underneath the brim of her hat. She was the perfect image of a little girl in a Sunday dress worn on Monday. There was even a tiny lily-of-the-valley clutched in her hand, which was pale from spending so much time indoors. The puppy stuck her nose in the air, sniffed, and started wagging her tail.

"Heero?"

"It's me."

"Big brother!" Sophie got up from her crouched position on the floor against the wall, letting the puppy go. The excited little girl threw herself at Hiro and wrapped her arms around his legs. "Thanks for visiting me today, Heero!"

"How's Mary?"

"Good!" Sophie patted the head of her puppy. "Did you bring me food?"

Heero pulled out a package from under his arm. "From the Sanq Kingdom palace."

"Thank you!" Sophie eagerly snatched the package from her old brother's hands and ripped it open. She picked up a sandwich and shoved it in her mouth. "Heero…" she said, her mouth full of bread.

Heero cleared his throat at her.

Sophie rolled her eyes and swallowed. "How's the job with the princess?"

"Okay," he said with a shrug.

"Ooh, I knew it!" Sophie grinned. "Big brother is kissy-kissy with Relena!"

"Shut it, Sophie. She's my client, not my girlfriend."

"Heero and Relena, sitting in a tree…"

"Eat your food, Sophie."

"Okay." When Heero talked like that, no one dared cross him. Sophie swallowed some food and look at him with absolute cute eyes. "Do you have to go back soon?"

"Yes."

Sophie pouted.

"Sorry, that won't work. I have to go back."

Tears formed in Sophie big blue eyes. "When can you stay with me all the time again? Without you, I got no one."

"Have no one," Hiro corrected automatically. "I can stay with you when the war ends. You know that. I've told you that at least a dozen times."

"I know, I just hoped…" Sophie trailed off. She was crying. "I mean, Daddy died, and then Mommy, and then Odin took us in until he died, and…and…and I don't want you to leave too."

"I'm not going to leave." His icy personality was slowly slipping away as he put his arm around his sister's shoulders. Sophie snuggled up next to him, still crying. "I'm not going to die. When Romefeller is gone, I will come back."

"Promise?" Sophie sobbed.

"And I never break one."

Everyone say: "AWWWWWW!!!!!!!"

I got this idea after watching "Endless Waltz" and saw how torn up Heero was about that little girl and her dog dying. So I just thought, "Name her 'Sophie' and make her Heero's sister!"

Does anyone think Hiro was OOC? You know he has a weak point with civilians, and I can just see him with an 8-year-old baby sister.

Enough of that…
