For Aislin

Relena couldn't help but show her surprise and relief at the sight of Heero. 'Oh, my god,' she thought. 'He came.' A deep breath, she hadn't realized she had been holding, escaped. 'Heero.'

I wanted to be like you

I wanted everything

So I tried to be like you

And I got swept away

"So, who is he?" one of her friends asked, pointing at the youth standing nearby on the verandah.

"The new guy? I dunno . . ." someone else had replied. The group of girls sat together discussing and chancing the occasional look at the boy.

"I'm going to invite him to my party," Relena said, pulling an invitation out of her bag and scrawling his name on it. She got up and headed over to give him the envelope. . .

I didn't know that it was so cold

And you needed someone to show you the way

So I took your hand and we figured out

That when the tide comes I'd take you away 

"You've joined the Preventers?" Relena asked, her surprise quite apparent in her tone.

"I don't have much of a choice," Heero replied.

"No?" He didn't respond. So she got up from where she sat and took his hands in hers. "You don't have to go on killing."

Heero looked down at her small hands grasping his. He said something she didn't catch but then looked into her eyes again. "I will protect you until the day I die, but I'm nothing more than a soldier."

Relena shook her head, "That's not true. I'm not going to let you walk away thinking that."

Heero let go of her hands but remained where he was. His deep gaze studied her face. His eyes whispered a silent prayer.

If you want to

I can save you

I can take you away from here

So lonely inside

So busy out there

And all you wanted was somebody who cares

"Heero!" Relena yelled as she ran through the hallway of the Preventers' office. He stopped and turned to face her. "Don't go." He turned again to continue on his way. She caught him by the arm, and moved in front of him. "Please don't go," she said as a single tear softly streaked down her face. Heero touched her cheek, wiping away the tear. She swallowed, "Because if you do, I don't know if I can-"

"You're stronger than me," he stated.

"I'm not!" She demanded. "My brother is dead, my kingdom is gone – we are trying to keep this peace but-"

He drew her close and embraced her for the first time. "You are my strength," he whispered in her ear.

"Then here," she rummaged through the bag on her shoulder and brought out the Teddy Bear he had left for her when she became Vice-Foreign Minister. "Take this, for luck."

I'm sinking slowly

So hurry hold me

Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on

Please can you tell me

So I can finally see

Where you go when you're gone 

 "Do you think he'll come?" Duo inspected the invitation, whistling his approval. "Duo?" Relena pressed.

"What? Heero? I don't lmow Lena," Duo responded honestly. "I'll make sure he gets it though – don't you worry."

"Thanks Duo," Relena smiled. The man, still sporting the braid Hilde kept threatening to cut off, gave a salute and walked off. Relena's smile faded. 'He's not going to come,' she realized.

All you wanted was somebody who cares

If you need me you know I'll be there

Oh, yeah

Gasps resounded throughout the church, even the minister had stopped, picking up on the surprise of even the wedding party. Relena stared at him, forgetting everything and everyone around her. He held her Teddy Bear tentatively at his side.

Heero took a step forward, "Relena!"

Please can you tell me

So I can finally see

Where you go when you're gone

"Ashiteru."
