Mr. Duo Maxwell,

As of today you are cordially invited to our farewell party for Mr. Heero Yuy. R.S.V.P as soon as possible. Thank you very much and we hope that you will be able to attend.

Lady Une of the Preventers

"Farewell party?" Duo Maxwell thought as he scratched his head and stared at the invitation. He turned and looked at Wufei who was sitting on the couch typing away on his laptop. He shrugged and threw the invitation down on Wufei's lap who looked up and blinked.

"What the hell is this?" He mumbled as he watched the former 02 pilot wave and head towards the bathroom, "Duo she's in there!"

"Still? Shinigami…what the hell is she doing in there?" Duo mumbled as he turned the knob of the door and walked into the steaming bathroom. He heard the shower running and figured by the looks of things that it was hot water. Duo didn't see anyone's standing shadow and pushed aside the shower curtain and looked down to see the bath filling with reddish water, with an unconscious Relena sitting in it with a razor blade in one hand and blood all over the other.

"Shit!" Wufei said as he ran in and saw Duo pulling Relena out of the water. Wufei moved out of the way as Duo ran into the back of the tiny two room apartment. He ran into his and Wufei's room and laid her down on the bed. Her once white sun dress, now a pinkish-red clung to her skin. Wufei came in with towels and bandages. He began helping to dry her off.

"Third time this month…" Duo sighed as he put towels beside him as he sat down and propped Relena up against his chest. Wufei began to unbutton the back of her dress as Duo held a hand towel around the wounded wrist. Almost in unison the two worked fast and with very little effort. Wufei and Duo were getting used to this routine. After Wufei worked on one of his white tank tops onto her lifeless body, Duo had laid her down and proceeded with getting rid of her blood stained clothes.

Wufei sat down next to the sleeping princess and looked at her. Oh how she had changed in such a short amount of time. There was a time in his life where he thought all women were weak and were not capable of anything. Relena had proved him wrong, oh so very wrong.

"If Zechs were here Relena, he would be appalled by your behavior. Sleep well oh troubled one." Wufei sighed as he put a towel under her head.

Earlier that month Relena had found out that Zechs, or rather Milliardo Peacecraft, her only blood relative had died in an accident. Zechs was killed by a bomb going off in his estate. Which also killed his wife Lucrezia Noin, and their two month year old baby. A small fragment of people against the Preventers tried to bomb Lady Une, The Pilots and Relena. They only succeeded in killing Zechs, Noin and Relena's niece. The day Relena had found out was the same day that Heero had broken up with her. The following week she had tried to commit suicide, Duo had walked in on her the first time. The second time Wufei had found her in the rose garden laying in the snow on her mansion grounds. Duo and Wufei had both decided it would be best if Relena had stayed with them. They were the only ones that she trusted.

"Should we call Quatre?" Duo asked as he pulled out a beer from the fridge as Wufei walked into the living room. Wufei ran a hand through his silky onyx hair. Wufei had shook his head and sat down on the couch as Duo sat down in the lazy boy chair in front of him.
"No, then he'd be fussing over her like crazy. She doesn't need that trouble right now."
"What the hell are we going to do?"
"You have to make her get over Heero, and make her realize that what happened to Zechs was horrible but she shouldn't kill herself over it."
"Me? Why me? What about you? Where are you going to be the entire time?"
"On L5 remember? My anniversary is in a week." Duo nodded, every year Wufei would travel back to his hometown colony of L5, he went to visit Merian's grave site for their anniversary.
"Why'd Relena do it this week?" Duo sighed as he watched Wufei stand up and go to their room, "When are you leaving?"
"Tonight…" Duo stood up and followed him into their room. Relena was still asleep. Wufei pulled out his suitcase from underneath the bed and began packing as quietly as he could. Duo shook his head and sat down next to Relena. He moved her bangs away and kissed her forehead.
"You're going to have to be extra watchful of her. Okay?" Duo nodded. Wufei turned around and looked at Duo. He smiled and hugged the taller pilot. Duo smiled softly and hugged the Chinese Pilot back.

"Be careful okay?" Duo sighed.
"Does that really need to be said?" Wufei grinned as he threw a towel at him. Duo laughed and headed out the room.

"Shower needs cleaning." Duo sighed.


Relena's head felt heavy as she tried to lift it up. Her eyes slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the foot of the bed. She sat up slowly as her eyes adjusted to the lighting.

"Wu-chan, I need your laptop for a few. I need to write out a report." Relena said as she moved some papers aside and placed the portable computer down in front of her bed on the desk.

Wufei turned and looked at her with wide eyes.

"Yeah sure." Wufei said as he watched Relena. "How the hell does she do it? She just tried to commit suicide and yet she goes back to work…She's worse than Heero!" He thought to himself.
Relena opened the laptop to see another invitation, she sighed and picked up and started reading it, she got half way and looked up at Wufei.

"Yes?" Wufei asked as the princesses' azure eyes bore into him.

"When is it?"

"When's what? Hey you should be laying down!" Duo said as he placed a bagel down in front of her coming back into the room.

"His farewell party…and I'm perfectly fine by the way. Now tell me." Duo winced as soon as he heard farewell. He should have thrown it away.

"Two weeks from now." Duo said softly trying to avoid all eye contact with her.

"Tell Une I'll be there." Relena said flatly.

She continued to work on her report even as Wufei left. She stayed glued to the laptop. But by the time Duo got home from the airport he saw the file Relena had left open, but saw her no where around. He sat down and began reading the file.

Duo,
You're a sweet guy, dimwitted yet sweet. I'm going off to find Heero. There's a lot that I need to talk to him about. I know I could wait until the party, but by then it'll be to late. Well…at least for me it will be…
