"Wait," Adrian, a ten year old with a stubborn streak not unlike his Uncle Quatre's, spoke,"is this is kissy story?"

Alecsander scowled, catching onto what his brother was saying, "it better not be all kissy. Cooties are gross."

"I thought you were out of that stage," Doctor J asked simply.

"Cooties never go away," Kasey stated as Kim nodded emphatically.

"What about Sword fighting? Is there any sword fighting or martial arts?" Li asked plaintively, watching the scientist with wide blue eyes.

"Yes there is, just wait a moment. Patience is a virtue after all."

Sonnet finally got one up on Kim, "then I guess your Dad is not all that virtuest...virtuetest? Well, he just doesn't have virtue."

"Hey!"

J frowned, "didn't I tell you not to fight."

"Yes, Doctor J!"
Anyway, Heero was a poor sod who stole his friend's Gundam Parts, so when that friend demanded recompense he was forced to go and seek his fortune elsewhere. It was a hard time for Relena, especially since she thought he was leaving so that they could marry....shows what she knows.

"J!"

Okay, so maybe he was looking for money so he could marry, as well. Can't you take a joke?

"The Perfect Soldier doesn't joke."

Right.....anyway, he had to leave and she was heartbroken.

"Will I ever see you again Heero?" Relena asked in a plaintive voice, holding her clenched hands to her bosom like so many damsels in distress.

"Hn...If I told you, I'd have to kill you," he stated flatly, a blank look in his Prussian blue eyes.

Anxiously she latched herself onto his arm, tears streaming down her face, "What if you get killed?"

"I will come back to protect you Relena, make no mistake about that. It is the only thing I can promise."

"Do you love me? I promise I will love you forever, and ever!"

"Um...hn."

"This kiss will bring you good luck," she said quickly, and before he could react, kissed him on the lips. Although the Perfect Soldier had dealt with many things, this was not one of them.

"....."He was, of course, in shock.
