"You should take a break, Miss. Relena."
"Huh?" Came the Minister's surprised reply, "Oh, Lieutenant. You surprised me."
"What were you thinking about?" Lieutenant Lucreitsea Noin asked the young Prime Minister.
"Oh. Nothing. Nothing important, anyway." Was the seventeen-year-olds despondent reply.
"Important to whom, may I ask?" Milliardo Peacecraft asked, frowning down at his younger sister.
"Oh, for pity's sake, Milliardo! Would you both just leave me be for once?" Relena Darlain/Peacecraft sounded slightly exasperated. And Relena was never exasperated, she was the most patient person Noin had ever met. (With the sole exception of Heero Yuy, a Gundam pilot.)
Relena returned to staring unseeingly at the little mobile on her desk. She gently spun the swinging part; however, her hand shook, the mobile over- balanced and toppled. It clattered to her desk.
"D*MN"
"Pardon me?!" Noin asked, with an amused expression on her face.
"Why can't I do anything anymore?" Relena shouted and dashed from the room, a single tear sliding down her cheek.
Noin and Milliardo exchanged a worried look.
"Zechs?" Noin began, "We have to do something about her soon. She's wasting away. She doesn't eat, she's loosing weight, and every smile is more strained than the last."
"I know, Lucreitia. But what can we possibly do?" The former Zechs Marquise asked, exasperated, pulling his white-blonde hair out of his eyes, "Every time I try to talk to her, she disappears, or if she can't, she goes all formal on me and won't talk..."
"I have an Idea." Noin stated. "Actually, Catherine, Hilde, Sally, Marie- Mea, and I have an Idea. See, it goes like this..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Relena collapsed on her bed, frowning. *Help! Somebody get me out of this!* She sobbed to herself. *Huh. Who am I expecting to answer me? Heero? Huh. Even if he knew how I feel, he wouldn't care. So why kid myself?*
~Because you care about him...~ Her subconscious taunted.
"Just- get out of my head, would you?!" She shouted into her pillow.
No one answered.
