Chapter 2 Happy birthday Relena
A/N: Thank you to the following people…
Angelight I'm glad that you like it, I'll try not to have a lot of Relena bashing in this story, I really have nothing personal against her, having not really seen the GW series but I cant make any promises, it all depends on the flow, I know that Serena isn't usually envious but I needed that for the story…
Sweet Sere I'll update as soon as I can, and I'll try to make it a Heero/Sere but I have to confess that I'm not very good at developing relationships.
Aznchibidragon I'm not yet sure about the rest of the scouts, maybe, maybe not. I'm not even sure how the rest of this story turns out.
Lilaclight I'm already writing chap 4 so don't worry…
Punkpixie Thank you! I'm glad that you think that it's original.
Ctmw I'll e-mail you one of these days and I'm pleased that you like the idea.
Reily yuy happy you like it, and I'm thinking of making it a Sere/Heero
Cosmos Hope you like this third chap.
Moon-bunny-87 I'm not sure about being the best but thank you, I cant guarantee about the long chaps but I'll update often.
Serena Yuy Glad that you like it, I love your stories btw and I hope that you update bittersweet soon.
And thank you for the rest who reviewed.
It was a sunny day, the skies so blue and not a cloud in sight. The streets were filled with busy people all running off to their jobs. It was such a fine day, it was also the day of Relena Peacecraft's birthday. At the moment the birthday girl longed to get out of her huge, stylishly designed office at the Peacecraft building. She was just about to answer another call and was signing some papers at the same time when Dorothy came in.
"Relena! Happy birthday." Dorothy greeted.
Relena didn't answer her and was busy talking to the phone.
"Hey RELENA?" Dorothy asked louder.
Relena looked up. "Hey sorry, I was busy for the moment." Relena apologized.
"You're always busy. Bet you even forget that today's your birthday." Dorothy said wryly.
Relena's attention was once again directed to the papers at her desks.
"Really Len, why are you working yourself to death?" Dorothy asked frowning.
Relena sighed. "I don't know…" She exhaled tiredly, her eyes darting towards the family photo at the edge of her desk.
"It's been 6 years already." Dorothy commented sympathetic.
Relena nodded her eyes turning sad. She then noticed a little girl that was barely seen behind the photo, picking up and examining it closely, her eyes widened in surprise.
"I didn't even know she was present during that family photo." Relena murmured.
"Hmmm?" Dorothy asked coming closer to what Relena was so interested at.
"Who's this?" Dorothy asked pointing.
"My cousin Serena, it's a miracle she didn't run off someplace when they took the photo." Relena spoke with a sad smile.
"Where is she now?" Dorothy asked picking up the photo and peering at it.
Relena shook her head and was silent. Dorothy waited patiently for her to continue.
"I honestly don't know, everyone presumes that she's dead during the bombing at her parents funeral and maybe she is. Only Heero claims that when he was trying to save her, a man got to her." Relena spoke with a thought.
"Kidnapping?" Dorothy asked with a frown.
"At first we thought it was, we waited for a ransom note but none came, then we decide to look for her or even just her body. But we never did find anything, everyone presumed that she was dead." Relena spoke softly. Even if she never did care much for her cousin, she was still family. "We never got a chance to look for her further because soon after that the war has already begun." Relena continued.
Dorothy was silent giving her friend a chance of privacy as she remembered the painful incident.
"If Serena's alive, I wonder where she is…" Relena pondered looking out the glass window of her 47th floor office.
Outside the Peacecraft building, someone got down from a black, stretch limo. The stranger was wearing a designer outfit, looking stunning in a pretty blue sundress that goes down to her knees and a hat that covers most of her face.
She walked past the entrance not even stopping when the doorman greeted her. Inside, the security stopped her to get some identification. She took off her hat revealing beautiful golden blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. The guard stopped in mid-sentence awed at the beautiful stranger. She gave him a secretive smile and continued walking. She passed by a metal detector, without a pause and she passed through, when the room erupted with the alarm sound. The security all came running. The guard snapped out of his daze, "Stop her!" He shouted.
Duo Maxwell was leaning bored against the wall next to the private elevator leading straight to Relena's office. His eyes bulged out however when a beautiful women entered his daze vision.
"Hey…" Duo drawled with a smile. "Where did you come from?"
The woman gave her a flirtatious smile but didn't say anything her eyes fixed on the numbers atop the elevator.
"So do you have an appointment with Relena? She's very busy you know." Duo asked trying to strike up a conversation.
The girl didn't answer for a moment then flashed him a charming smile. "I don't."
"Well, I guess I can't let you meet her…security and all." Duo said shrugging apologetically.
The elevator then opened. "I didn't ask for you permission, luv." The woman entered the elevator and winked at him pushing the close button.
"HEY!" Duo exclaimed and pounded on the door.
"DUO! Did anyone go through here?" His fellow comrade Quatre asked.
"Yeah, a beautiful woman." Duo answered.
"Why did you let her go?" Quatre asked nearly shouting.
Duo shrugged helplessly. Wufei cursed. "You were supposed to be guarding Relena. Damn! Heero's going to be pissed, Let's just hope Wufei does his job upstairs." Wufei said.
"Why what's wrong? Heero's here?" Duo asked surprise.
"Well, it was Dorothy's plan to invite him, it is Relena's birthday after all." Quatre answered.
"Does Heero know the reason why he is coming here?" Duo asked his eyes laughing.
Quatre shrugged. "No, he thinks that another threat has appeared." Quatre explained. "And perhaps it could be right. No one knows who that woman was, she passed by the metal detector stand and it buzzed loud and clear. She could be carrying a gun, and she's going straight to Relena." Quatre spoke hurriedly.
"Relax, maybe it's her keys or something. And perhaps she's just a friend." Duo spoke trying not to worry.
"We can't risk anything." Quatre answered with a shake of his head.
At the 47th floor…
"So Relena what's your plan for your birthday?" Dorothy asked looking at her friend.
Relena shrugged occupied. "I haven't really thought about it. I don't wish to celebrate it anyway."
"Well, that's too bad…I invited a very special person for your birthday." Dorothy said mysteriously.
"Really? Who is it?" Relena asked with interest.
"Just wait and see…" Dorothy spoke with a smile.
Outside…
"You! Onna! Stop right there!" Wufei yelled at the woman who walked past him.
Wufei ran towards her and pulled out his gun. Clicking the safety off, he wielded it positioning it at the back of her head.
The stranger halted. "Now turn around, nice and slowly and state you're reason." Wufei said gritting his teeth.
The woman turned around a mischievous smile on her face and stared at him.
Wufei was having a hard time concentrating as the woman settled her intense eyes at him. Without warning, she grabbed his neck and kissed him passionately.
"What the-" Wufei stop in mid-sentence his eyes widening. Shocked over what happened, he was paralyzed for a moment, as quick as the lightning, the woman punched him in the gut making him unconscious. He cursed loudly before his head hit the hard floor.
Inside the office…
"What's all the noise out there?" Relena asked with a frown.
Dorothy groaned. "I told them to be quiet. It's supposed to be a surprised after all."
"Who?" Relena asked curious.
"No one really, all of your friends…Quatre, Duo, Heero, Wufei, Trowa, your brother…" Dorothy started. "I hope you don't mind…" She looked over at Relena judging her reaction.
Relena was in a state of shock. "Heero? Heero's coming over?" Relena said in a trance.
"Yes… perhaps it's them right now." Dorothy said with a smile.
"HEERO!!!!!" Relena yelled happily running off to open the door.
Relena flung the door open expecting to see Heero's cold Prussian blue eyes.
She staggered for a bit when she saw a stranger at the door. "You're not Heero." Relena said with disappointment. The eyes that greeted her were just as cold but were ocean blue. "That's right, I'm not. But I came all here just to greet you Happy Birthday Relena, you should not be disappointed." The woman crooned with a false hurt expression.
Relena's eyes widened in fright and was paralyze, when a gun was aimed straight between her eyes.
"Happy Birthday Relena." The beautiful woman whispered, a smile tugging at her lips as she clicked the safety off her gun.
Relena finally reacted and gave out an ear piercing scream…
A/N: So what do you think? Is Relena dead or not? Please review… Merry Christmas to everyone!
