AN: Haha, did I confuse you enough with starting in what seemed like the
middle of the story? Good! That was the plan. Now, lets go back and see
what caused this little fit of Rele's, shall we?

I need a vacation -
The morning held such promise. Starting today Relena Peacecraft could be herself for one week. No wars. No politics. No meetings. Just relaxation.
As she looked out of the window of that plane, her mind wandered. The sound of the ocean lapping against the shore filled her ears. Yes, in a few short hours, she'd be there, Aruba, away from it all.
It had been her brother's idea to give her a vacation, and at first, she had thought it a terrible idea. She had meetings and conferences booked for months, but after he had assured her they would be rescheduled, giving her more time to prepare them anyway, she agreed. Yes, she needed a vacation. She needed to get away from everything, especially memories.
She felt herself jump at the thought of him. Heero. She tried so desperately to fill her schedule too tightly to have time for thoughts, but had as she tried, she always did think of him. Why did she still love him? It was clear he didn't love her. You don't abandon someone you love and not speak to them for years. It just didn't flash 'you're the only one I love' in bright red letters. Yet, no matter how much she tried make herself not love him, she did. She still loved him, and she supposed that would never change.
But this trip would do her good. Relaxing, being pampered, guy hunting. Yeah, guy hunting. It sounded like a grand idea! She'd find her some really hunky looking muscular guy with a great tan, blue eyes, dark hair, maybe a surfer. Yeah! She'd forget all about Heero Yuy. He'd be as good as dead to her. Only a memory.
"Quit looking so worried," Hilde laughed, taking her hand. Hilde had volunteered to come on the trip with Relena, to keep her company. Together, they'd find enough things to keep them out of, or maybe in, trouble.
"Thanks for coming with me, Hilde." Relena smiled back at her, before looking back out the window as they took off. Yes, this would be a good trip. Good for her. Good for everyone.

"C'mon Heero, ol' buddy! We're gonna miss our flight!!" Duo yelled for the tenth time that morning. He still had not informed Heero exactly why they were going on a flight at all. All he had said was it was a 'secret mission.' In Heero's eyes, a 'secret mission' could be anything from a Preventer order to going to get chili dogs.
"Remind me again where we're going, and why we're going there." Heero's tone was flat as ever. He did not want to do anything with the Shinigami if he could help it, let alone ride hours on a plane.
"We're on a 'special mission!' Don't worry, it's approved by Preventers. They know where we're going! Just c'mon!" Heero reluctantly picked up his suitcase and followed Duo out the door. He had a feeling this was going to be the biggest mistake of his life.

"Whoo – hoo! Aruba!" Hilde yelled opening the door to their hotel room. It was a beautiful room with sea foam carpet, decoratively woven wicker headboards on both the double beds and furniture, green and blue seashell comforters and matching pillows, and even a little light green loveseat. "And a balcony!" Hilde dropped her bags and sprinted to the glass doors on the far end of the room. She delicately opened them and stepped out onto the concrete balcony.
"Be careful!" Relena called from inside, still surveying the room while trying to watch and see that Hilde didn't fall over the railing she was leaning over. After a moment longer, she walked out onto the balcony and looked out at the beach below them. "It's beautiful."
"Isn't it? Oh! And this is just day one! We are gonna have the best time!" Hilde hugged her tight, then scampered back inside screaming, "Time for those swimmies!"
****
"A beach?" Heero asked, stepping off the plane.
"Yeah man! A little R&R couldn't hurt you!" Duo laughed at Heero's quizzical expression.
"I don't need rest. You said this was a mission." He glared at his 'partner' and threatened him to say it was all a gag.
"Yeah, man! It is a mission! But for now, it's a secret mission, which means, I can't tell you. Sorry, man." Heero picked him up by his collar and stared him straight in the eyes. "Can't tell me?"
"Uh! It's orders! You'll know soon, real soon." Heero dropped him, and Duo landed hard on his bottom. "Man! Wait up!" He leapt up, rubbing his butt. "You should really warn a guy before you do something like that, you know?"
"I'll warn you the day you stop acting like a babbling buffoon."

An: Well? You like? I hope so! Please give me a review! I don't like flames, but I'll take them. I just want to know what you think! Also, I need to know what you think. Are Heero and Relena too wrong or too right? This is a reader poll. If you guys vote one way, that's how it goes. However, u may change your mind as the story goes on and I throw in some wonderful twists!
APerfectSoldier87 – You're very perceptive! I'll get around to why she did that and what the ring's there for. Thanks for the review!
Asian Angel – You'll just have to wait and see what I did to Heero. *evil grin* Thanks for the review!
