"Rachel!!!! It's your night to do the dishes!!!Rachel are you even awake yet?!" A young woman in her pyjamas was saying from her door. Rachel opened one eye , then closed it. Suddenly she heard her door open , and she quickly rolled onto her side to show she was was still sleeping. This attempt didn't work out , however , when she felt all the warm blankets that surrounded her drift away.The cold morning air pierced at her feet and bare skin. She sat up quickly , sending her dark blue hair flying everywhere.

"Rachel , what have I told you about sleeping in?" looking at the other woman , hand on hips. The girl , Rachel's roomate ,had her long dark hair down and it reached to her waist by now , nearly covering her tan face and bright green eyes.

"Lillian , what have I told you about waking me up on Saturdays?!" Rachel retorted.

"Rachel Smith!How dare you leave a totally cute guy waiting at the door?!" Lillian said , narrowing her eyes.

"Is he single?" Rachel asked sheepishly.

"Errrmm...." Lillian was at a loss for words.

"No thanks, you know my policy , he's taken , he's not on my list," Rachel replied stoutly , then slumped back down on the bed and closed her eyes.

"Well we don't know if he's actually taken yet!!!"Lillian fumed.

"Fine , fine," Rachel said , waving her hand in dismissal and standing up. She slowly dragged her feet along as she reached the door. Who she saw ......was definitely worth the wake up call. In front of her stood a young man about her age , with wild brown hair and mysterious blue eyes , and she could smell a pine scent lingering in the air. He had a muscular build that wasn't too bad for the eyes and overall , was more than Lillian's 'cute'. Rachel's jaw dropped , and she stopped herself from drooling but couldn't stop the pink flush across her face and her shiny day dream eyes.

"Hello??" he waved a hand in front of her face , reminding her he was actually there.

"..I'd love to go to dinner with you," she mumbled in her day dream , only loud enough for Lillian's keen ears.

"Miss Rachel Smith?" he questioned.

"Yes?" she said , still in a state of day dreaming.

"I'd like to ask if you've seen this girl," he said , holding a photograph up to her face. It chilled her to the bone. It was a picture of Vice foreign Minister Relena Dorlain. Cocking her head to the side , making it look as though she were really considering it , she tried all sorts of movement and poses with little 'hhmmmmmm' s along the way.

"She's...." Rachel began. He smiled behind the photograph , tightening his other fist , in anticipation to see if his trail hadn't been another dead trail. "I've seen her!" . It shocked him out of his daydream , and he smiled politely now.

"Could you show me where?" he asked , putting down the photo. She nodded and he was ready to walk outside when he felt a smaller hand on his. Looking down , he saw the young woman pull him inside the apartment , then over to the couch , and made him sit down. She sat unnaturally close , then picked up the channel changer. She turned on the television , and put it on a 'Missing People From the Big City' channel. Relena Dorlain's face flashed across the screen , and he sighed inwardly. It had seemed so convincing that he had finally found her. He was instantly flashed back into reality when he felt something brush along his arm. He looked down at a few strands of dark blue hair , then his eyes travelled over to piercing blue eyes , staring up at him , with her head rested against his shoulder. The woman , Rachel Smith , had an air about her that made him want to take her into his arms and take her away from here , but he pushed away this new found instinct.

"I-I-" he mumbled , seeing her smile. He had a mission , and it was time to go fulfill it , no matter what else was on his mind. Standing , he left her to fall over on the couch and rush towards the door.

"Where are you going?" she said , chasing after him. Something about this one thrilled her , and she wasn't about to let him get away....she'd done too much of that before. An ugly memory reared it's head , but she squished it back into the depths and grabbed his arm.

"Thank you for your time," he said politely , wishing he had a cap like Duo to pull over his eyes.

"Oh but would you please-" she began , and it clicked in both their minds what she was trying to say.

"- come out to dinner with me?" he finished , taking her hands in his. Looking up , blue eyes to blue eyes, he saw a flash , something familiar , it had been three years since he seen her , but he thought for once since the year she disappeared , that he didn't need to find her anymore. It was like God had given him this girl , to assure him that it was okay that he couldn't complete this mission. That his life was finally taking a turn for the better , that he would change more from his old ways.

"Yes! Where should we meet?" she said enthusiastically , breaking into his thoughts.

"I'll pick you up at 7 , okay?" he said.

"Okay," she said , and the flash of Relena was gone , replaced by this sweet angel's face , with her framing dark blue hair.

"I really must go now , but..I'll see you at seven," he said , taking his hands off her's , and moving towards the door once more.

When the door was closed , Rachel stood staring at the door , with a feeling of almost memory of this guy , but couldn't place a name to his face. Nonetheless , she danced to her room singing some Christmas carol with a blush all the way. Lillian was waiting for her inside her room , with an eyebrow raised.

"And you didn't want to get up," Lillian remarked with her 'you owe me big time' tone.

"Don't worry , I'll see if he has a cute friend," Rachel huffed , sitting on her bed. She was silenced when she was hit in the face by a pillow.

"And single" added Lillian.

"And single ," Rachel repeated , taking the pillow off her face and throwing it back at Lillian.
