Ch. 8 – Strip Tease
"It's all clear! Conference room C is set up just perfectly!" Duo's cheery voice called from outside the door of their bathroom.
"Oh dear gosh I can't believe I'm doing this..." Heero readjusted his hat and looked at himself in the mirror. "And I can't believe I had to pay that guy to get to do this! I don't even want to do this!" Then he envisioned Hilde's face, then Duo's. "Maybe it'll be worth it." Then Relena's... "Oh gosh...They're probably not even here! This was probably all for nothing! Relena would never come to something like this. Who was I kidding?" His head dropped.
"Hey buddy! They're here! Good luck!" Duo opened the door, winked at him and then disappeared again.
"They're here?" He smirked. "Showtime."
----------
"Hilde what exactly are we here to see?" Relena sat down gracefully onto a plush couch.
"It's a surprise!" – Oh boy is it ever a surprise! –
"With the blindfold before....I kinda figured it was. But seriously, please tell me."
"No! It'll ruin it!"
"It's nothing like before is it? Please, Hilde..."
"No! NOTHING like before!" –Worse the before–
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen!" A man stepped onto the small wooden stage-type apparatus and the lights went dim.
–What? Only Hilde and I are here! – "He looks familiar..."
"Of course not," Hilde whispered back in Relena's ear. –That's definitely Duo...in a bad disguise! What on earth is going on? –
"I see there's a very special lady in the audience!" He made his way over to Relena. "You there! Aren't you Relena Peacecraft?"
"Well...yes..." Relena stared at him, almost frightened. –How does he know who I am? What had Hilde done? –
–Oh gosh! Duo didn't say this was going to happen! –
"Well you are in for a treat! Isn't it your birthday?"
"No..."
"Are you getting married?"
"No..."
"Hmm...guess you're just a lucky vacation girl then! Cause someone arranged this just for you!" Relena's eyes darted to Hilde. "No! Not her! Him!" He pointed toward a door, which flung open and a man wearing a Zorro outfit stepped into the little room.
"A Zorro mask..." Relena's mind flowed back to the party the night before. He had looked familiar, and the man before them...he had been in the joker mask. Even without the fake accent she could see it was him.
"Congratulations Relena! Here's your prize!"
Heero stepped forward and some strange music that he appalled began to play. –Music...– He swished his hips a little bit as he walked toward Relena. –I'm not cut out for this! – He took off his hat and placed it on Relena's head. For a second he looked into her eyes.
–Oh my gosh...It's Heero...– She sprang to her feet. "Excuse me" She pushed him backwards, and he stumbled a bit.
–Dang Relena! Who knew you could push so hard. – Heero grabbed her by her hand, as Duo rushed back onto the floor.
"Miss! Take your seat! The show hasn't even begun!"
She snatched her hand away. "Leave me the heck alone!" –I don't love you, Heero Yuy. –
"Relena!" Hilde jumped up and followed her out.
"Look, whatever sick game you are playing, I don't appreciate it! Just leave me alone!"
"Relena!"
She looked back, tears streaming down her face and screamed, "All of you just go to hell!" Then ran out of the room. She ran upstairs to her room and unlocked the door. "I am going home!" She began to throw clothes into her suitcase, cramming them, tears spilling all over the, used to be neatly folded, outfits.
"Relena..." She knew his voice. There was no doubt it was Heero. She froze. "Relena, please don't go." He came and stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her, lowering his mouth next to her ear, "I love you." The breath caught in her throat. –He loves me...–
"Heero I–" She turned to face him but found no one there "love you too..." Her whole body went limp and the crumpled to the floor. Her eyes rolled back in her head, then the lids slowly shut.
Heero watched her fall, knowing he was killing her, knowing he was hurting her, but knowing it was hurting her less than the two of them being together. "I'm sorry..." He whispered and entered the room again. He scooped her into his arms and laid her down gently on the bed. "Relena, I'm so sorry. I do love you, but we can't be together. You deserve so much better than me." He leaned down and gently brushed his lips against hers, and for a moment, he thought he felt her kiss him back. –Just my imagination...–
Heero stood up and took one last glance at his sleeping princess before walking out the door. "Goodbye Relena..."
