Joyce angrily pounded at Heero's room Trying to wake him up. After a few pounds she gave up, and that's when Wufei took action. "Wai! Get out of bed you lazy ass. We need you to drive us to work." he said as he tried kicking at the door a few time. Heero came out with a grumpy face that still had droopy eyes on them. His hair flung out everywhere wildly and Joyce commanded him to tidy up in the bathroom. "Bastards! Waking me up at five in the morning. We don't even go to work 'til seven." Heero mumbled to himself.

*

It was already three years after the big disappointment and he had found a home in an apartment shared by Wufei, Joyce, and himself. He ended up this way when he checked out of the hotel and met his old friend from Hong Kong. Wufei offered him a place at his apartment and Heero accepted with no other choice. He had no other place to go if Wufei didn't give out the offer. When he put his luggage inside the apartment and stepped in he was shocked that there was a woman living there too. Her name was Joyce, pretty, single, but unfortunately she was a Lesbian. As an orphan she was allowed to stay at Wufei's area also. Heero slowly accepted her and the three became close pals.

Wufei and Heero were single from then and present. But Joyce had a girlfriend, named Kim, but she slowly got tired of her. They were wild party animals at night but serious workers at day.

*

Heero came out in a black jacket and black pants. He signaled to both of them that he was ready. As they jumped into the red convertible they zoomed to their new job. They were thinking of a job at the Golden Status Travel Agency. When they appeared at the door they were greeted by the manager. He told them to call him King Sir. As soon as he introduced himself he assigned task for Joyce and Wufei to do. As for Heero, King Sir wanted to discuss something with him.

"Heero, you standards in work that I am very fascinated by. I want you to be co-supervisor in travels." King Sir began.

"Sure, whatever you say." Heero responded with no interest at what so ever a co-supervisor did.

"I would also like you to be in partner with a special person who you will meet next Thursday."

"And this person is?"

"A gifted travel agent with the greatest ideas on places to go."

"Ok, sure. Bye." Heero left the office to find where his friends were. They were at a meeting with a discussion about arranging a cruise going to Hawaii and then to L.A. to attract travelers to come. Instead of going inside he motioned Joyce and Wufei come outside. The two came out and looked at him, perplexed. "Lets ditch this joint and go to a club." Heero whispered. The two nodded eagerly and sneaked towards the elevator.

*

Joyce was dancing in the crowd with a couple girls as the two guys sat on sofas and drank. The two were getting drowsy and drunk so they were more vulnerable of spilling out their emotions. Wufei half unconscious asked, "So Heero. You never told me how the wedding was called off." Heero looked up at the ceiling with fury and said, "Don't even mention the word 'wedding' to me. She cheated on me! I saw her with Kevin that day. That liar, that bitch!" and then he fell back onto the sofa, trying to calm down. Joyce came back with such a red face from the wine that she fell asleep on a girl's lap on the sofa.

As Heero looked up and spotted Joyce, his vision blurred and gave him the image that she was Relena. He jerked up and grabbed at her, "You, you....asshole! How can you even show your face to me?"

Joyce gave out a cry and waved Heero away, "What did I do to you?"

"You, you, you know what you did! You..." and Heero tried to strangle her as he was talking. Joyce juts kept moaning from her drowsiness and slapped at Heero to quit bothering her.

Wufei had to go between them to stop their quarreling and said, "Wai, Waiya! Time to go h-hoOoome.." as he carried Joyce and Heero out of the bar. Now Heero thought that Wufei was Relena and gave him a punch. He gave out a loud scream, "Aiya!!!" With no time to get back at Heero he took them both into the car and drove back home.

He managed to get he and the two into the apartment and they all stood around not knowing what to do next.

"How come it's so dark, Wufei?" Joyce moaned.

"Huh? Let me command them to turn on.. TURN ON." and he turned the switch to on and the room was filled with light again.

Joyce went in her room and so did Heero. Wufei just fell asleep on the couch.

*

Rays of light now shined through the windows. It beamed onto Wufei's face and he gave a groan of irritation. As he opened his eyes sunlight blocked his sight, and when he held out his hand to block the ray, he smelt something foul. As he looked down at the floor near the couch he saw his shoes all covered with vomit. He gave out one last groan and went over to Joyce's room. "Joyce! Did you dirty my shoes again?" No answer came from the lump on the bed so he shook her menacingly. "Hey! Can't a girl catch her beauty sleep on weekends?" she growled. "Why would you acre? You're not a girl anyways."

Joyce responded by sitting up with a smirk on her face. Then she pounded on him with her pillow. "What did you say before? I couldn't hear you!" she said sarcastically. When he surrendered she paused her missiles of death. As he looked up at her she hit him one more time on the face. "Okay, what did you want?" she asked. He gave out a chuckle first but then started, "You owe me insurance money for my shoes."

"What? I'm not paying you money for that piece of crap you call shoes."

"But you threw up on them."

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did."

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!" as they both continued arguing.

"Okay suppose you didn't do it, then who did?" Then they both looked at each other thinking about the same answer, "Heero!" When they slowly crept into Heero's room, they found pictures of Relena on the floor that were ripped into halves. But there was one that Heero was holding that was still whole. Joyce carefully took the picture out of Heero's hands without waking him up. After she looked at it she handed it to Wufei to see. It was a picture of Heero and Relena holding hands at a beach. The two in the picture had on a huge smile, well maybe Heero's smile was only a grin, but he did looked happy.

"Even if Heero keeps telling us how much he hates her and forgot about her, he think about her secretly anyways." Joyce whispered. "I'll show that creep, for keeping secrets from us." Wufei said as he walked towards Heero. Just when Joyce was about o ask what he was going to do and stop him, Wufei hit Heero with a pillow. Heero jumped up in reflex and automatically punched Wufei in the face. Wufei gave out a yelp as his faced turned and fell to the ground. "Hey! That's the second time this week you hit me!" was the only words Wufei could force out from his swollen face. "That's what you get for coming into someone's room without asking." Heero said feeling no regret for what he did. He still had rage form last night and he accidentally took it out on his own friend. He grabbed the picture out of Joyce's hand and reached into his pocket for a lighter. Wufei and Joyce watched as the picture burned away into ashes. "I told you both already, she's only piece of memory. I have no feelings for her anymore." then he walked out of the room. Joyce wanted to say something to him but didn't know what to say. Wufei put his right hand on Joyce's shoulder to tell her that they should give Heero some time to loosen up and be back to his normal self again.

*

Heero was still in the living room watching TV when Joyce wanted to confront him. As she slowly walked in she saw how he was so into the movie he was watching. She knocked on the wall and then went to site next to him.

"Hey." she said softly.

"Hey." and Heero went back to his show.

As Joyce tried to think of what she should say next Wufei walked in and said it for her.

"Heero, we need to talk. You know we want to help you, so tell us," he began, "tell us what had happened to you and. you know." Giving out a sigh Heero began, "As you both know, we were going to get married. But on the wedding day I found out that I was only a replacement."

"A replacement?" Joyce asked almost to herself, "a replacement for what?" "For this guy called Kevin, he was her old fiancé who cheated on her. She got angry at him when he broke the news to her and nearly killed herself that night at a bar. She started at first, dancing by herself but then she stole other people's boyfriends to dance with. The others got so jealous that they went into an argument with her. Relena, of course as a natural fighter, gave one girl a broken nose and broken ribs to another. I was there also and if it wasn't for me, a bunch of men would have ganged up on her and later she would be arrested for the assault."

"So Mr. Macho Man, how did you save her?" Joyce asked. Heero chuckled and then threw a pillow at her.

"Now listen up or I'll stop talking. And don't interrupt either." Heero said, "so as I went in between Relena and a screaming girl, men were coming up to her for beating up their women. As I pulled her from the crowd a guy grabbed me from behind and punched me right in the stomach. I got so mad that charged at him and started pounding on him. We rolled around, crashing into chairs and tables, then as he tried to hit me again I gave him a blow in the face and then punches in the ribs. That wasn't enough for him. He tried to stab me with his pocket knife. As he charged at me, I did a high kick and he was thrashed to a window, braking it."

(flash back)************

Relena left the bar unsteadily with Heero coming after her. She told him to go away but he just stood there looking at her with pity. When she tried to get up and walk again she fell back and Heero caught. Relena looked at him with unblinking eyes and Heero held her like that for a long time. She felt warm from his hold and beneath Heero's fierce eyes she found gentleness she never felt from anyone. "This man, strong but filled with softness. What am I thinking? He's probably married or something." As she gazed into his soft eyes she had an unknown feeling but it felt good. Relena blushed as she got up from his hold and sat down at a nearby bench. "So what happened to you? What made you so upset today?" Heero asked. Relena looked back at what just happened she started to go wild again. "That no good bastard, he's going to hear form me again! I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him!"

Heero tried to calm her down and promised to buy her beer after she calms down. "Now behave while I'm gone. Don't overreact again! And stay away from trouble!" Heero warned as he left to a shop by a pack of beer for Relena. On the way coming back he felt a strange feeling also. He felt his whole body was heating up and he thought that it was a fever. As he handed her a can she talked about her fiancé and how they broke up. Afterwards Relena wanted to know more about him.

"So, what about you? How's your love life?" she began.

"Me? Nah, I never did like anyone. To me all girls are a waist of time."

"More like men are a waste of time you mean. Ok, what do you do for work?"

"I never did have a stabled job. Just little stuff here around Hong Kong." Heero answered, "well anyways it's time for you to go home anyways. It's not good for a girl to be out here that late. Here I'll walk you home."

On the way to Relena's house both took turns asking questions about each other. Heero wore widened eyes when he saw her house. "Whoa, I'd never have imagined you would own a mansion. So it looks like a rich girl gone bad, eh?" Heero said giving her a nudge. Before Relena could enter her house Heero stopped her. "Um, would you mind if I take you to dinner tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? Hmm, ok." Relena responded with a smile.

"Great. So see you. tomorrow."

"Bye!" and she entered her house looking back a few times.

When Relena came in the house Milliardo stood there waiting for here. "Where have you been? It's already 1:00 A.M." Milliardo asked, "And where's Kevin?" Relena hated how every time she walked in the door her brother would throw millions of questions at her. "I'm tired. Talk to you tomorrow." She went upstairs and entered a room filled with pictures of Kevin. She angrily ripped them all off walls, out of picture frames, her diary, and everywhere else. She took out a bowl and dumped them all in it. Next, she lit a lighter and all the pictures perished in the flames. Overcome with heartbreak and uneasiness, she fell onto her bed that held millions of pillows and blankets. As moments pas she cried herself to sleep.

The next night as Relena stepped out of her porch in her black silk dress, and a cute little purse he was not there. Relena stood around for a while but still no sign of him. She looked up in the sky watching the stars for a while, then she laid down on sofa outside, after that she looked at her nails out of boredom. Until finally, she realized that he would not come. She thrust her purse down hard onto the floor and plopped down with her hands crossed. "I knew this was all a joke!" Relena murmured.

She reached for her door but then two warm hands covered her eyes. "Guess who?" the voice said. Relena smiled when she recognized the voice. It was Heero! She took his hands revealing her eyes. But then she put on a furious look and placed her two fist on her hips. "What took you so long. I didn't think you would come." Then her face softened and hit him playfully. Heero revealed a rose as he handed it to her. "I didn't know what kind of flowers you would like so I bought you a rose. I guess it took up too much time." Heero said.

"Well, you could have taken me with you. Then I'd pick the kind of flower I wanted."

"But I wanted it extra special when I came to pick you up."

"Lets go already. I've already wasted hours waiting for you. I want to go now." Relena said.

Heero lead her into a dark gray car and closed the door after her. Then he plopped into the driver's seat and spun over near the harbor. There in front of them was a huge cruise ship ready to head for LA. In America. Relena didn't know why he had taken her there but she did not ask for she was to busy staring at the biggest ship she had ever saw. Heero took her hand and lead her to the entrance of the cruise ship. She looked at him with excitement. "You mean we're going to have dinner here?" she asked. Heero did not give an answer but went up the steps with her. Inside, were big halls filled with high class people. The place had chandeliers, expensive furniture, pools, shops, bars, dance clubs, and million more of them up and downstairs.

The two went into a fancy restaurant and sat down at a table for two. Heero ordered all sorts of food that Relena never heard of. She stared at him as he gave out the names of food on the menu and he winked back at her. The music started playing and Heero asked Relena for a dance. Relena reluctantly got up and went to the empty dance floor.

"Heero, I can't dance. Besides there's too much people looking at us."

"Don't worry, just follow my steps. If anyone laughs I'll beat them up for you."

Relena laughed but she was still scared of messing up. But she gave in and followed him. Heero placed her hand on his and the other one on his shoulder. Then he put his other hand near Relena's hips. "You'll Be My Love" was playing as they both dance. Lights flashed slowly all over the place and the room darkened. AS Relena twirled around she suddenly slipped but Heero caught her just in time like the other time, safely holding her hips tightly with his strong hands. As Heero perched her back up Relena went frantic thinking that everyone was laughing at her right now. She didn't want to continue anymore. "It's ok. They're clapping for you." Heero ensured her. The audience were. They took the accidental fall was a dance move. Relena gained back her courage and slowly put her hands back on top of his. As they started moving again and this time to a slow romantic music she only looked at Heero's eyes. This way she wouldn't care of whether she would mess up or not, only if Heero was there for her. They swayed across the floor, and when Heero picked her up off the ground and twirled her slowly, a breeze filled the room as her dress waved in the air. The audience wondered how he made her look as if she was floating in the air. Next Relena did another turn and her back was put against Heero's chest, arms entwined. They danced like that for a while and then Relena turned back and she fell right into Heero's chest. She looked at Heero and put her hands on his shoulders. Heero put his hands around her back, folded, and they danced back and forth. Both kept their eyes on each other and Relena placed her head on his shoulder embracing the moment. When the music was about to end Relena moved forward and kissed him. The audience stood up as they clapped. At the same moment the two were still kissing. Relena smiled because she never felt the way she was before and never danced with so much happy emotions in her.

She looked up at Heero and they both held hands as they went back to their table.

*******************

"Oooh, that must have been very romantic." Joyce said as she imagined the two together.

"Yeah, yeah. But it didn't last that long." Heero grudged.

"What happened next?"

"Well, just to summarize this. We went to L.A. and had a great time. That's when like turned into love and we started dating after we returned to Hong Kong."

"But why did you guys break up?"

"I told you already, she was only replacing me with Kevin. She never did forget about him. Taking me for granted she used me to make him jealous. On our wedding she revealed to Kevin that she was just playing me. I knew then that she never did like me. So why should I marry someone who does not truly love me?"

Both Wufei and Joyce looked at each other not knowing what to say.

"Heero, you did the right thing. It is not fair for her to use you." Wufei said.

"Yeah! If she ever come back to ruin your life ever again we'll be there to be on your side." Joyce said loudly and filled with dignity.

"What she did was injustice! We won't let her get away with this!" Wufei echoed.
