24

            When the all the guys got in, they questioned Heero about the big park disaster (since the news said that Relena was involved, they knew Heero was, too).  Heero filled them in on his account, and the fact that he had to take Relena away.

            Vincent called Relena that night around eleven.

            "Hello?"

            "Hi doll."

            "What do you want?"

            "You."

            "Let me rephrase that: why the hell are you calling me?"

            "I know you still love me.'

            "So you've lost it, huh?"

            "Love lasts forever, woman.  There will always be a place for me in your heart."

            "Vincent, get over yourself."

            "You still love me, Miss Darlian.  You're too proud to admit you miss me.'

            "Would it satisfy you if I said 'Oh, yes, Vincie, please take me away, I beg of you!'?"

            "Well, it would if you meant it, but I'd rather you met me in your park in your place in an hour." He hung up.  Relena angrily hung up.  No, she decided, I'll go, just not alone. She dialed Heero.
