The Story of Our Love

Part 2: Deliver Us From Evil

Relena opened the door to her office and saw Milliardo Peacecraft with his muddy Timberlands on her desk, hands behind his head, and basically doing what we call chilling. Relena stared at him, deciding carefully how to handle this situation.

"Get your fucking feet off of my desk, Milliardo," Relena said, her eyes blazing with fire. Zechs looked at her.

"You're chair is so much more comfortable than mine, Relena. I didn't appreciate you hanging up on me too much. The next time it happens..." Zechs began. Relena sighed and threw his leg off of her desk. She pushed him out of her chair and sat down and crossed her legs.

"And what exactly would you do, Mr. Peacecraft?" Relena asked, crossing her arms. Zechs shook his head, standing up and dusting himself off. He started for the door. Then Noin walked in, looking at the two.

"Hi, Zechs. Relena, you have a meeting with Delegate Watson for lunch at twelve forty-five at Newton Luncheon," Noin said. Relena glared at her and nodded.

"Affirmative. Zechs, I don't date. Guys are not my forte. I don't plan on getting married and, God forbid, having kids. It's unbelievably worthless. Love is for wimps such as yourself." Relena pulled out a pen and opened her desk drawer.

Zechs shook his head, his platinum blonde hair shaking. He guided Noin out and looked at her.

"I would've hit right her between her eyes. I've never seen such disrespect for others. Who the hell nominated her for this job? You need compassion in order to run the ESUN," Noin said, rolling her eyes. Zechs just mumbled something.

"I think we need back-up on this. Call all the Head Preventers except Lady Une into my office. I want them there in ten minutes, Lu." He kissed her forehead and started down the hallway.

Ten minutes later, Heero stood solemnly in the corner of Zechs office. Duo and Hilde sat on the couch talking. Trowa and Catherine listened idly to them. Wufei was shining his sword. Quatre was reading a wad of papers when Zechs walked in.

"Hello everyone. I have a request," Zechs said.

"What is it?" Duo asked.

"I need someone who is brave enough to date my sister," Zechs mumbled. For a moment, everyone just stared at him in disbelief. They all started laughing hysterically. Duo was practically crying. Hilde paused for a moment and saw the look on Zechs' face.

"You're serious, aren't you?" Hilde asked. Zechs and Noin nodded. Hilde looked at Duo and started laughing.

"Everyone knows that Relena doesn't date. That's common sense. She's too mean. It's like braving a terrible storm. Your sister has no empathy. It's like talking to a large brick wall," Catherine said.

"Well, Duo, I know that you can't, because you have Hilde. No one here is free but Heero," Noin said. At the sounding of his name, Heero looked up finally. Everyone looked at him expectantly.

"There is no way I'm dating her. She's evil," Heero said.

"Would you do it for a Scooby Snack?" Duo taunted. Heero shot him a Death Glare and he stopped snickering.

"C'mon, Heero. You and Relena were obviously made for each other. I don't know anyone else who can tolerate her attitude," Quatre said. Heero crossed his arms.

"I don't either, but this is Relena Darlian we are talking about, not Soleil Chang," he said. Soleil Chang was Wufei's younger sister. They were virtually inseparable. Quatre blushed a bit, and then he straightened up as Wufei glared at him.

"I say we let the onna rot in her grave. There is no saving this one. She's long gone," Wufei said, earning a glower from Zechs. Wufei didn't regret what he said, mainly because everyone knew it was true. A long silence ensued. Heero sighed.

"Fine, I'll do it," Heero complied. Noin and Zechs looked considerable happy. Heero rolled his eyes and disappeared out of the room.

Relena was still working on the many pages of work. Her eyes were starting to hurt from looking at the tiny black words. Noin walked in.

"Relena, there's this party going on tonight at Delegate Catalonia's place. I was wondering if you wanted to go," Noin said. Relena looked up at her with bloodshot eyes. She looked as if she was going to fall asleep right then and there.

"If this is a another attempt to get me to date, then, no. I don't want to go. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to get ready for lunch with Delegate Watson." Relena stood and dusted herself off. Noin tripped her up as she passed her.

"Listen to me, Relena. At least try to make friends," Noin pleaded. Relena resisted the urge to smack her in her head. Getting up from the floor which had greeted her so very openly, Relena glared at her.

"I have friends, Miss Noin," Relena retorted. Noin sighed and looked down.

"Relena, your idea of friends is the old geezers you see everyday in meetings. They could really careless about whatever you do. You run this. Have fun."

"Lucrezia, fun was taken out of my life a long time ago." Relena grabbed her coat and walked out. She was walking so fast that she walked into Heero, and he was the only one who fell. Relena glared at him and kept walking.

AN: What a bitch! She really needs some ass, if you ask me. But anyway, thanks for my first two reviewers, Amy-chan and Ley. Much appreciated. And if Camaro is out there, WUZ UP!
