Ch 4-Banquet Night

Heero was about to exit his apartment that he shared with Duo and Hilde dressed in a black tuxedo. Hilde and Duo spotted him from the top of the stairs.

"Why are you so dressed up tonight." Hilde asked

"I've decided to go to the Holiday Banquet with you'll" Hilde and Duo looked at each other than back at Heero.

Hilde smiled and stated "You look very nice"

"As do you" Heero replied.

Hilde wore a blood red halter gown that pooled at her feet. She also carried a matching purse.

"Okay, okay, lets go now" Duo said ushering Hilde out the door.

They arrived and took a seat at a round table with a bowl with a goldfish in the center of the table. A pack of red and pink balloons were connected to the bowl . They were one of the first people to arrived and Hilde looked around frantically looking for Relena, which had not arrive yet. As soon as the music began playing and the party was underway, Relena's limo pulled up in front of the old palace which was located on a cliff over looking the ocean. She had been her before when she had first found out that she was none other the princess that was in the mostly every picture that lined it's large hallways. Her brother who was old enough to remember when they lived there 18 years ago had told her about it.. She was a year old when her parent died and was adopted by her fathers best friend, Mr. Dorlin. She enter the large room were the banquet was been held. Immediately people of all ages were coming up the speak with her. She was about to excuse herself form the mob when she spotted Heero out on the balcony. She silently slipped away, and approached him from behind.

"I thought you weren't coming" With out turning to face her he answered.

"I said I was, so why wouldn't I "

She smiled and moved to his side. They stared out at the ocean saying nothing to the other. Then a servant came to Relena.

"Your Highness, the governor would like to talk with you" Relena replied

"I'll be with him in a moment".

She turned to Heero but before she could speak he connected his lips with hers. It was a sweet and soft kiss. He pulled away and left quickly. Relena hand shot up to her lips and she turned toward the door were he had exited. So many things ran threw her head. Since when was Heero so forward. She gasped. What had she done to him last night. She blinked her eyes and was brought back to the fact that she still had to speak with the Governor. She sighed and walked gracefully into the large ball room. It was time. Time for her take her place on the stage and give a speech she had not prepared for. She began with explaining the meaning of Valentine's and when it was founded. She had just gotten into speech when she heard a large explosion above her and was thrown from the stage. She looked up to be faced with large mobile suit hand reached into the building as a little child would when she was playing with the people in a doll house. She got up quick and ran out of the back door that lead out side into the garden. She looked back to see the space Leo turn to follow her. She had been through the maze a few time and knew her way out. Now and then she would glance back at the Leo, only to see the large walls of rose bushes crumble below it's feet. She fell forward as she stepped on her too long of a dress. She expected to crash into the ground but was held up by strong arms a round her shoulders and waist. She opened her eyes to stare straight into the blue orbs of her Heero. His eye's were then directed to the Leo that had stopped and staring down at them. He knew what they wanted but he would never let them have her. He grabbed her hand and pulled through the rest of the garden headed toward the cliff. She used her free hand to pick up her dress slightly so she could run a little bit more faster. They came to a large clearing and they could see the cliff headed. Relena had no idea what Heero was thinking but she trusted him anyways. They came to brutal stop at the edge of the cliff. Pieces of lose rock fell into the water below. This picture some how reminded her of the dream she had that very morning. Her hair whipped around as she could hear the Leo advancing upon them.

"What Next" she asked looking over at him. During this time there hands had fallen apart. Heero looked back at the Leo then at the ocean below. He knew what they had to do.

"Do you love me"

"wh-what, Yes I do"she replied confused "Then jump with me" He took her hand in his and she smile at him.

Just as the Leo stood above them they leaped off the edge. The wind around was loud as the fall the hundreds of feet between the cliff and the ocean. Her dress blew rapidly around her as she tighten her hold on Heero's hand. I love you. That was the last thing she thought before she entered the cold blue liquid. Nothing else mattered. Just him.

Hahahahahahahaha. Hope you liked it. Took for ever right. But it's done now.
