Chapter 1: Beautiful Blue's
"Hello?"
"Hey Relena, it's Millardo."
"Oh hi, is something wrong?"
"No, no, it's nothing like that. It's just...well I feel really bad about not being able to see you off and so I was calling to see how your drive has been going so far."
"Millardo I told you not to worry. I know that you're busy and that I understood. Besides, I'm a big girl now and can live without my family having to see me off when I'll still be seeing them every once in awhile."
"Mom and Dad still haven't returned from Paris yet?"
Eyes the color of a cloudless day closed with a sigh on the other end of the line.
"No, but I had expected it you know, it's not like it hasn't happened before. What can I say? Over the years I've learned to be more independent because of their absences. So, I feel I should thank them for some things."
"Bullshit Relena, that doesn't make up for anything. This is exactly why I wanted to be there for you."
"Millardo?"
"Hmm?"
"Stop worrying yourself over me and go take care of your family, I can hear Lu calling for you from over the phone. I bet she hasn't let you rest one minute since you found out she was pregnant; she wants everything to be perfect for the little one..."
"Relena you are part of my family and don't try to change the subject. I'm your brother. Hell, I'm practically the only family you have left that gives a damn about you!"
"That's not true and you know it. Mom and Dad love us very much, but they just don't know how to show it very well. I've accepted it, why can't you?" Relena's voice had softened considerably.
"MILLARDO PEACRAFT!!!!! Get you ass in here and help me move this furniture for out future child!!" came Lucrezia Noin's voice from somewhere in the back of the house over the phone.
Ignoring his hormonal wife for the moment, Millardo sighed at the words of his forgiving sister.
"I'm glad you've become the person you are Rel. I couldn't imagine you any other way."
"I love you Millardo. Now go help Noin, it can't be too good for your health to ignore her for very long."
"Love you too Lena. I'll be visiting you before Thanksgiving."
"Can't wait."
And with that, the conversation between the siblings ended and Millardo ran to help his wife. Relena, meanwhile, prepared herself for another three hours in her limo to attend registration.
College. Her parents had pretty much decided that she should attend Kenting University. The school was a six hour drive from her hometown and basically in the middle of nowhere; the nearest town being a two hour drive away. It was a very prestigious, very expensive private school, but Relena was happy enough with the thought of leaving her parents home to care where she went. Living in a dorm and having everything supplied for her didn't sound like a bad arrangement.
Funny that her parents would spend so much money to buy their children the very best of everything so that they could play the part of high society folk and yet they were never around for the moments that mattered most. As far back as Relena could remember she had come to rebel against the ideas of the society in which she was brought up in. The dirty- blonde hair and blue eyed Peacecraft had always been a relatively quiet person, only jumping in on discussions in which she had a strong opinion of or to correct someone. Instead of spending money on herself or some random object, she either donated to charity or sponsored any function when she was needed. She never got tired of helping others and never regretted one moment of giving her time to the needy.
Every once in awhile though, she was forced to show the Peacecraft inheritance shine through because of her parents. At one point, it got to where they wanted to go to some kind of ball every weekend, but she fought that idea until it was one each month. She went in baring a fake smile and pretending to enjoy it for the sake of her parents, because she really did love them very much even if the did have the downsides.
Relena snapped out of her day dream when she felt the limo come to a smooth stop. She gathered all of her papers and stepped out when Pagan opened the door for her. Once standing correctly, all Relena could do was stare at the school in awe and respect. The main building that she currently stood before was made of a dark red brick with four gigantic white columns out in front. The other buildings surrounding the main one were made of the same brick, but each had its own individual characteristic whether it be a garden or fountain and it was these little extras that gave Relena a homey feeling of the campus.
Done with her quick analysis of the scene before her, she turned to Pagan to say her farewell. She received a small smile from the old man before she gave him a big hug.
"Pagan, I'm going to miss you so much."
"And I you, Miss Relena. You stay out of trouble here, I don't want to be getting any upsetting phone calls about you," he shook his finger at her, but was smiling all the while.
Relena laughed. "Of course not Pagan."
"Now, your things will arrive within the hour to your assigned dorm. You have everything you need to register? Good. Well, my job here is now done and I will see you at Thanksgiving, my dear."
Giving her one last smile, he bent down to give her a kiss on the forehead and then returned to the driver's seat and drove off. Relena turned around and started walking to the tables set up in front of the main hall, on the way, she decided that it would be a good idea to begin to organizing her registration papers. Rather unexpectedly, she bumped into what seemed like a pole and fell backwards. Papers exploded into the air. A very flustered and embarrassed Relena jumped up, missing the hand that was offered to her by her pole.
Wait. A hand?
The blonde ceased the nervous gathering of her papers. Eyes focused on the cement sidewalk, she turned around and found a pair of shoes standing in front of her. She quickly looked up to try and mutter an apology, but once she met the strangers eyes she couldn't seem to remember how to make sentences anymore, or even speak the English language at that. Blue. That shade of blue that comes during a sea storm...and fierce, that's the only way to describe his eyes. Cause you see, the eyes she met belonged to a man and not just any man. She thought for a brief moment that she had stumbled upon Adonis himself, the man was so gorgeous. She returned to staring at the ground, not being able to stand blushing so much in one day. Finally, for what seemed like an eternity, Relena returned to her senses, but not fully, she began to stutter an apology.
"I-I'm s-s-so sorry. I-I wasn't paying attention and I-I...."
"Hn...Just pay more attention to what you're doing. Others around here might not act as polite," said the man.
Relena looked up surprised. When she did, she met his stony gaze once again. She fleetingly took in his other features, noticing that he had a mop of chocolate brown hair to match his wild eyes and a chiseled bone structure. His face held no emotion whatsoever and before she could say another word, he was gone. He had moved further down the line of tables.
Next time: Who's the mysterious stranger? *wink, wink* And will we see any other characters of our beloved Gundam Wing??? Maybe, maybe not..... Please R&R! I'd appreciate it so, so much.
