Chapter One: Meeting
(Two years later)
Relena stood in front of the imposingly ancient two-story brick house. It was 4
o'clock in the afternoon, yet the sky was overcast and gray, giving what was
most likely a perfectly nice house a fairly sinister and very daunting
appearance. It was... intimidating. Scary. Here she was, miles away from all
she knew.
Alone.
She didn't want to be here, but she had no choice. Fighting the urge to turn around and run, Relena quelled the raising tremors of panic and forced herself to walk up the steps to the porch.
After all, this was going to be her home for the next year.
Relena set her luggage on the wooden floor and took a deep, calming breath. The wind had slightly mussed up her long wheat colored hair and she nervously finger-combed the shiny strands, then proceeded by tugging her fitted jacket back into place over her slim feminine figure. Her pretty face formed into a worried frown as doubt popped into her mind for the umpteenth time.
Just because your parents deserted you
and forced you to live with complete strangers in Hicville is no reason to be
afraid. Mom and Dad's friends are probably perfectly decent, God fearing folk
who just happen to live in an isolated town miles away from the rest of
civilization. Compared to LA, their worst crime is probably inbreeding. Relena
chuckled at the thought.
Well, at least my heart isn't pounding so nervously anymore. And with
that, Relena pasted a bright smile on her face and rang the bell.
Seconds later, the door open and Relena was face to chest with Heero Yuy.
A very wet, very cut, very shirtless Heero Yuy.
Relena's heart stopped beating. She felt nervous again, but for entirely
different reasons this time.
"Uh, hi. I'm Relena Darlian. Pleased to meet you."
