Peace or Love? Part 6
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing.
"No."
"WHAT!?", Heero jumped to his feet, surprised, confused and hurt.
"I'm sorry Heero." She said sadly, looking away.
"I don't understand, Why?" he said, suddenly cold.
"Understand that I do love you, but people are expecting me to marry Quatre."
"So?" Heero said, getting angry.
"Who knows what affects it would have on peace and our reputations." She said trying not to cry.
"Fine, if reputations are more important to you." Heero said coldly, and walked away. He went back in his room, pulled a chair to the corner and sat there. Not really know what to do. Relena let out a sad sigh, walked to her bed. She saw the Teddy bear that Heero have giving her for her 16th birthday. She picked it up and hugged it. She started to cry into it. It so hard to say no to the person you love the most. But, peace was on the line and she would do anything to keep the one she love from going to battle again. Soon she to fell in a restless sleep.

The next day, Relena was in the living room looking over her notes for the meeting, when a knock came from the front door. Relena went to answer the door, but Pagen was already there. So, Relena just waited to see who would come through the door. A young lady with long blond hair walked through the door.
"Dorothy!" Relena cried excitedly, running up to the girl and giving her a hug.
"Hello, Ms. Relena." Dorothy said happily, when she disentangled herself.
"Let's go to the living room and talk."
The two girls were sitting on the couch discussing what had been happening over the last few months and mostly the last few days.
"In a way, I'm glad that your wedding was postponed. Now, I will be able to attend."
"Yes, I was sad to hear that you wouldn't be making it the first time."
The girls continued their discussion, until Quatre walked into the room, then the girls stop talking.
"Well, hello, Ms. Dorothy"
"Hello Quatre"
The two got up and gave each other a big hug. When they separated, Relena had the sudden realization that they loved each other. She could see it in their eyes.
"Excuse me, but I have to get to the meeting. Why don't you two talk. Bye."
Relena got up and went towards the door. Taking one last look at the two, she went through and thinking about life and love.

Relena and Duo were walking around the house. The meeting went as planed. There were a couple of hours before the ball, before Relena needed to get ready. She really needed someone to talk to.
"What I am I going to do?"
"That's really up to you, 'Lena" Duo said trying to help
"How would you handle it?"
"I guess, I would make a pro and con list."
"Duo! That's just wrong."
"Okay, I guess I would choose the option that made everyone happy."
"What if you were being pressured by outside forces...like peace? And you can't make everyone happy."
"well, I would have to make the decision, Peace? Or Love?"
"I know, but what one?"
"The only advise I can give you is. When you look into the future what do you want to see. You and Quatre married but not in love and peace is still going strong or Heero and you madly in love and peace is still around, but needs just needs a little more work?"
Relena thought about this for a few minutes and then turned to Duo and gave him a big hug.
"Thank you."
With that Relena turned away and ran down the hall. Leaving Duo in a little shocked.
"You're welcome…"

Everyone who was everyone was at the ball. In the middle of it all was Quatre and Relena. Quatre was wearing his black tux and Relena was wearing a red dress, that came off the shoulders, it went down to her feet with a slit that come up past her knee.(Authors note: like the one Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman) They were talking to people for most of the night. Duo and Heero had kept their distance but kept their eyes on her. When Quatre and Relena were dancing, there would be whispers about how they look great together or how beautiful their children will look. Heero was starting to get really pissed off about hearing these comments. It was these people that were keeping Relena and him apart, because of their stupid ideas about Relena. Relena not wanting to disappoint anyone and willing to sacrifice herself to make everyone happy. He hated that about her and loved that about her too. Finally, it was time for Relena to give her speech. As she walked up to the steps, she became dizzy, she was falling, though she didn't hit the floor. Heero had caught her before she fell completely.
"Are you alright?" Heero said with some concern in his voice
"Yes, I think I just had a little to much to drink"
Relena walks up to the mike. 'She only had two drinks.' Heero though.
"Ladies and Gentlemen...." Relena started her speech. During the speech, she became dizzy again. Her vision went blurred.
"All thanks to the Perventors for a job well done."
There was clapping from the people. The clapping gave Relena the biggest headache she had ever had.
"I have... announcement... to… make..." Relena fell to the ground.
