Crazychickie4life: 'ello 'ello. I know it took me a long time to post this
chapter, a full week, but I didn't realise how hard it is to juggle writing
two stories at once, playing DDR and doing homework on top of it. Oh well,
I'm NOT going to give up! I shall try harder. Especially since right now
it's spring break so I'll try to get more out. Anyway I know this chapter
isn't to eventful, but I'm getting there!
Note: The chapter title doesn't really have any relation to the actual chapter, but I liked it so it's to bad! Anyway, I don't really know if Applestrudle originated in Switzerland, but just go along with it.
Chapter 2: Applestrudle and Swiss cheese
Relena woke up to find herself strapped into a seat. Panicking, she squirmed around, but realising that it was just a belt, she took it off and put the seat back into sitting position, instead of the reclined one she had just been in.
This time she took her time to look around. To her left, Duo was sleeping, leaning against a small window, his mouth had a trail of drool coming down his face. A snore patch muffled his heavy snoring sound across his nose.
She took note that when looking out the window, there were clouds and dark skies. The obvious meant that they were on an aeroplane.
Relena gave a loud exasperated sigh. She wasn't supposed to be going on a vacation, she still had too much paper work to get down in her office. She also had a very important speech to prepare, and the conference was in a mere week. What would happen if she missed it all together? Or didn't have a good enough speech and lost? She began to feel panicked frustrated waves run through her and she hated the feeling.
She then took her time to look to the left of her. Hilde sat with headphones on, blaring rock music evidently playing. She had her eyes closed, and was mouthing the lyrics, some of them didn't look to pretty though.
On the far left of Hilde, the seat was empty, save for a magazine about guns. She immediately guessed that seat belonged to Heero.
Relena felt the urge to kick something, hard. So she kicked the seat in front of her, luckily housing no occupants. Liking the feeling, she kicked harder and faster. She could hear the chair creak at in protest. After she had enough, and Hilde with her headphones on and now sending her a puzzled look, she pulled her legs back and sat as if nothing had happened.
"So you're awake?" Hilde smiled
"No duh, I just began a sleep walking, sleep talking thing while my eyes are open the whole time"
Hilde rolled her eyes at that. "You know exactly what I meant missy, so do you wanna know where we're headed?"
"Frankly not really. I have way to much to do, I want to go back home now." Relena replied coldly. Although Hilde was her best friend, she was beginning to hate the woman at the moment for tearing her away from her work.
"Aaaah come on Relena. We worked so hard to plan this for you, you could at least pretend to be happy" Hilde had the saddest puppy face Relena had ever seen. Giving in, she finally asked.
"Alright, where are we going?"
"Switzerland! Home of applestrudle and Swiss cheese. Isn't it exciting? We're going to go skiing in the Alps. Plus, I heard they have really hot Swiss men!"
"Hey!" Duo nearly shouted "What about me?"
"Oh Duo, you know you're my baby. I'd never leave you" Hilde winked playfully at Relena, sending a silent message that would get Duo riled up, but them laughing.
"If anyone touches you, I'll beat them up" Duo said satisfied.
Hilde only smirked and leaned over Relena, Duo doing the same, and they kissed right in front of her face. Relena literally felt the need to get a thing of popcorn and just sit and eat it, since the two didn't look as if they'd break apart soon.
Relena was extremely jealous of the pair. They were unbelievably romantic. She was saved from many hours more of kissy faces, by none other then her object of desire. Heero cleared his throat, and the kissing contest ceased.
He took his seat and looked over at Relena. Studying her. Relena felt a small shiver go down her spine.
"Are you sleepy anymore?" Heero asked.
"No, I think I'm good. I have now been informed of the fact that we are headed to Switzerland. Why may I ask, was I dragged from my job and on a plane to Switzerland!?" she practically yelled.
"Because we all think that you need a break from your hectic life. And we also think you need some men to have a little fun with. You know how many of them would kill to have one date with you? You're going to meet some men on those ski slopes if it kills me!" Hilde stated happily.
Heero glared at Hilde, obviously angry. Relena felt joy in the fact that he didn't like the prospect of her finding another man to go after.
So she smiled at Hilde. Maybe, she wasn't able to finish her occupation work, but maybe she could instead work on getting Heero. Liking the idea, she spent the rest of the plane ride thinking of ways to get Heero.
After the plane had landed about 6 hours later, they all gathered their luggage. Hilde had even gone as far to have snuck into Relena's room when she was at work, and pick out all her clothes for her. When they got to their hotel room however, Relena discovered that her so called thoughtful friend was quite evil. She had chosen the most revealing clothing she could find.
And of course, Hilde and Duo shared a room, while Heero and Relena shared the adjoining room. It was very convenient that when Hilde had booked the rooms at the mountain side lodge, that there were only two vacancies on such short notice. Although Relena couldn't complain that they had to share a room, although it was embarrassing, she could be mad at the fact that there was only one King sized bed. And it happened to be a water bed at that.
Heero had unpacked his clothes rather fast, and was now furiously typing away at his laptop. Relena, while unpacking her things, contemplated on why she was not allowed to do work, and yet another workaholic was allowed to do his work on vacation time.
"Heero, how come you can do work but I can't?" she asked the very question on her mind
"Because, I'm doing this for your safety. Lucky for us this hotel is very much secure."
Relena nodded, not caring about her safety at the moment. But she had another question etching at her mind.
"Heero, what are we going to do about our sleeping arrangements?"
"I'll take the coach, and you can take the bed." He stated it so simply, that it bothered her. Was he offended with the fact that he might actually have to share a bed with her!?
"No that's alright, I'll take the coach, you can have the bed."
"Relena don't do this. You're taking the bed and I'll take the coach." "Why?"
"Because you're a princess and you deserve better then the coach"
She glared at him and stormed out of the room. Just because she had some royal blood, did not mean that she had to be treated like a frail doll. She didn't even want to see what he would do on the ski hill. Not let her ski at all? Carry her the whole way while he skied? She could see it now 'Relena, your feet are too delicate to put in those heavy boots and ski down the hill. You might break into a sweat'.
Heero's POV
Heero looked after her angry form. He knew that sounded very discriminative, and he hadn't meant to say it, but it just popped out. When it came to Relena, he didn't think before he talked.
He knew she was offended with him. He needed to think of a way to get on her good side again. After all, Duo and Hilde were the ones who dragged them out here, and he needed Relena on his side if they were to go up against the 'big kids'.
She seemed mad at the fact that she could not sleep on the coach, and that he claimed she could not sleep there because she was a princess. So how was he going to make her happy? He didn't want to have her sleep on a coach and him on a bed, that to him was disrespectful. But she wouldn't let him sleep on the coach either. So the only way it was going to work, was if they both slept on the bed together. As much as he didn't mind, he couldn't help but wonder if Relena even cared for him at all. After all, he was a soldier and she was a white dove. They came from opposite ends of the universe, and yet he was attracted to her. She was beautiful, smart, cunning. Everything he wanted, she was.
So, he rushed out after her and grabbed her arm before she could go any further.
"Fine, we'll both share the bed."
Relena smiled and walked back into the room. It was already very late in Switzerland, and they were both suffering from jet lag. They flopped onto the bed and fell asleep. All through the night, although it was unknown to them, they had inched closer and closer. And they would find that when they were to wake up early in the morning by the giggles of Duo and Hilde, they would find that Relena had somehow managed in Heero's arms and he had wrapped his arms around her tight, chin on top of her head.
A.N Teehee, a little bit of romance there. Okay guys you can go review now! Everyone that reviews will get a kiss from Heero * of course, it'll only be a blown kiss, not an actual one on the cheek or lips, and did I forget to mention that you won't be able to see him blow you guys a kiss because he is currently locked up in his own 'cage' in my home * Just kidding, that's only in my dreams. Now seriously, go and review!
