For Rel
Note: I don't own Gundam Wing or the characters. Evil lyrics are still here. None of these songs belong to me they belong to their respected bands.
Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I tried to update before I left for my week long vacation but the website wouldn't let me upload in document or website formats. Sorry, but thank you get this update and one on Monday. An early update. Worked on it while on vacation, see I think of you lovely reviewers.
Electric guitar started the song by itself with some woeful yet slightly eerie sounding, than on the keyboards Salimar played some holy music sounding as if she were playing the organ. It was Draca who did the vocals.
"Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home…"
The music sped up adding in the drums and bass to the mixture.
"When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there."
Softly in the background Lynn and Salimar began to "oh" while the music returned to being more Christian church type and slow down without the drums or bass for accompaniment.
"I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me."
Song sped up again just as it had done for the chorus earlier.
"When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there."
Again, the music began to resume a heavenly and slow rhythm.
"Like a child you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing."
The music began to speed up and the crowd began to clap.
"When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like…"
At this point the song was turning out to be a gospel-like song with the clapping and Draca working her way through the crowds.
"Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there."
Now the song turned over to Salimar for a while.
"Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me."
The line was repeated three more times sounding as though Salimar was leading a choir during Sunday mass before returning the song to Draca.
"Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
your voice can take me there…"
The song ended and the crowd exploded with applause, oh the band was bringing a whole new meaning to "bringing down the house". This was something that Quatre took great interest in since he had not seen anything receiving such great delight from the representatives since Relena being signed into her position. It was amazing.
"Thank you for your support ladies and gentlemen, but sadly this next song is our last for the evening. Our next song was written by our own band member, Lynn Voc, and will be sung by her as well. Take it away Lynn!" announced Draca as Lynn's solo song from the bar was sung and played by the band.
Most of the representatives didn't understand the words but they were all still moved, much like how they were during one of Relena's speeches. Another reaction that attracted Quatre's attention greatly, for he too was moved and he was becoming quite lonely without Relena around to look out for. She was just one of those people that would brighten his mood and make his problems go away despite her own, that's what he found so amazing and a bit attractive about her.
Even though he knew that Relena's true feelings of love were given to the former zero pilot, Quatre couldn't help but somehow hope that he would have even a slight chance with her. Than she ran away, the evening before he planned on suggesting the possibility of them being a couple at all. It was heartbreaking for him but he kept his feelings hidden, almost as well as Heero or Trowa but his eyes never betrayed his feelings unlike both of the other pilots. That was their weakness; their eyes.
As the song ended he took notice in how closely Heero and Sylvia were dancing across the dance floor, Sylvia leaning her head against Heero's chest while the former gundam pilot led the way keeping his eyes alert. It would make an excellent romantic scene if Heero's soldier senses didn't always kick in, causing him to be slightly paranoid. Another observation that Quatre had made, not for the first time either. No, he had noticed it when Relena would dance with Heero or when Relena would point out to him while they danced how Heero kept an eye on the galleries above for anyone.
It still bothered Quatre that Heero had kept leading Relena on, but than he felt that Relena should have given up on him long ago and looked for affection somewhere else. Although he would have preferred that person to be himself, Quatre would never interfere with Relena's happiness, even if it were with another person. That was one of the major reasons why he never truly took part in the search for Relena.
In his mind he figured that she would contact him if she ever felt the need to let him know how she was coming along. Still, for the past five months he had received one letter from her, without a return address of course, but it was hand written and long distanced letter. All she told him was that she needed time to herself and not to worry, for she was with trusting friends. He believed her, and that was the reason why he never told any of the other pilots of the letter.
"Are you well, Quatre?" Trowa spoke up tapping the young man on his shoulder.
"Yes Trowa, thank you for caring," confirmed Quatre though he felt that he was far from it.
"You're thinking of her again," noted Trowa.
Biting back a laugh and a grin Quatre just nodded, "That I am. Am I becoming that readable?"
"Not to everyone else but to me you are," assured the former Heavyarms pilot clasping a hand on the representative's shoulder in comfort. "Though I believe that you have more reason to miss her than the rest of us do."
"That I do not, I miss her just like the rest of you. I just wish she would have told me of her plans, I could have helped her escape from this and from him," Quatre corrected. All Trowa did was nod as Sylvia and her boyfriend approached them with the glow that seemed to cover most couples that were enjoying each other's company, even though Heero seemed a bit distracted.
"Perhaps we should speak with the band about Relena, since we all seem to think they're connected with her escape," suggested Sylvia seriously causing Trowa to shrug and Quatre to raise an eyebrow at the idea.
"It's not a hunch Sylvia, it's a fact," argued Heero despite the fact he knew Quatre would probably beg to differ on his opinion.
"Fact without evidence is void, Heero, you know that," Trowa reminded his friend. In return Trowa got Heero's number one glare that would silence a normal human, than again, Trowa wasn't a normal human. So, it had no effect on him whatsoever.
"Come now Heero, talk with any of them about the vice foreign minister," chided Sylvia, she wanted this subject done and over with. "How about that Lynn girl over there?" His girlfriend gestured towards Lynn as she unhooked the cables to her guitar and than being told something by Sage causing her to look in their direction. The others turned away but Heero kept eye contact with Lynn until she shrugged and returned to Sage.
"Hn," grunted Heero. I need information on Relena but not from any of these girls, especially since any of them could be hiding her or could be…No! She could never pull off a disguise, Heero reassured himself though there was a feeling of doubt in the back of his mind.
Sylvia sighed exasperatedly which made Quatre feel that it was his turn to take over this plan of action. "Than how about we do this than, Trowa speaks with Salimar, Sylvia and you have a few words with Draca, and I handle Lynn," suggested the blond pilot running a hand through his hair.
"Great idea! I like the sound of that plan," agreed Sylvia but than noticed Heero's not impressed look.
"There's one problem with that plan, dear," he told Sylvia.
"Oh? What would that be, darling?" challenged Sylvia playfully as she poked him in the chest.
"Those three are always together, inseparable to an extreme. One cannot simply expect to speak to each one separate without dragging the other two along," explained Heero.
"Than perhaps we should keep them apart while they are apart than," advised Trowa motioning with his hand on how far apart each girl was. Draca was speaking with the Marquis with Sage, Lynn was speaking with Adam by their instruments (all of which were remaining in their respected places), and Salimar was chatting with Marquis Weridge.
Sighing in reluctance Heero nodded and the group of four went their separate ways to each of their separate girls. Even though Heero had the sense that they were nearing the end of their search so many things were plaguing his mind as he approached Draca, on being what am I going to ask her?
