Ch. 10 – Who are you, and what have you done with Heero?
Relena's eyes flew open, and she sat straight up. A dream...what a marvelous dream she had just had! She and Heero were...no...she was thinking about him! Yesterday she had sworn never to think of him again. "Curse you Heero..."
"Relena?" That wasn't Hilde's voice. She looked down beside her. She wasn't in her bed. This wasn't her room. "What did you just say...?"
"Heero?" It all came rushing back to her. He had been standing in front of the hotel. She'd talked to him. He'd talked to her... and she had started crying. He had held her. She'd confessed it all, her feelings, her fears, everything, then he'd said...
(An: means begin flashback. means end flashback.)
"Relena, I love you." He held her close to him, possessively.
–What is he saying? He loves me? He...loves...me...?–
"I love you too, Heero." Her voice was barely above a whisper. –He loves me–
"Relena, I...I..." –You just said you loved her! Why is this any harder? –
Through the mask of tears over her eyes she stared up at him. –Oh gosh! This isn't a dream! This is real. It's really real. Heero Yuy just said 'I love you' to me! –
"Relena..." –Gosh! Just do it! –
"Yes Heero?"
He let her go and looked at her for a moment, then he bended down on one knee. "I'm no good at this stuff, but I love you. I've loved you for...as long as I've known you. Gosh, tell me you'll marry me"
She gasped. "Who are you, and what have you done with Heero Yuy?" She laughed and hugged him tight. He picked her up off the ground and swung her around.
"I guess that's a 'yes'?"
"Of course it's a yes!" Her lips met his and a feeling flooded over her like she'd never felt. A wild, passionate craving for him. She wanted him. She needed him. Her whole life was nothing before this moment. Everything was right in the world! Surely both peace had been achieved and hell had frozen over.
She reluctantly pulled away, gasping for air, and breathed out the word, "Now."
"Now?" He asked, confusing engulfing him.
"Yes, let's get married now." Her smile was so wide that he couldn't resist her. –I'm going to be Mrs. Heero Yuy. –
–Relena's finally going to be mine. –
--------
"This place isn't exactly what you'd have a fairytale wedding at, Relena." Heero looked over the little while shack with a neon sign reading 'little white chapel.' –Doesn't look like a chapel at all. –
"I don't care. It's me and you, that's all I care about."
"You're sure?"
"I'm sure." They walked in together, up to an old man sitting at a desk, sleeping.
Heero cleared his throat. No response from the elderly man. "Hn." He cleared his throat again, same reaction.
"Excuse me, sir." Relena said politely, and a little woman came out from a room off to the side.
"Hubert, we have company."
"What!?" The old man yelled, sitting straight up in his chair.
"Hubert! Guests!"
"Oh, oh, welcome!" He stood up and attempted to shake Heero's hand. "Well then, you're a feisty boy, aren't ya? Anywhoo, I'm Hubert, and this is my wife Eileen. You two here to get hitched?"
"Yes, sir." Relena took the liberty of doing the talking.
"Great! Now the ceremony is $250 flat out. If you want a gown, that's an extra $20. Flowers are $5. Pictures, those will cost ya by the print! Size, number, etc, etc....so...what'll it be?"
"I never thought I'd get married in black, but just the ceremony will do fine."
"Relena? Are you sure?" Heero seemed as if he really cared, which made Relena smile.
"Yes, I'm sure. Everything's perfect all ready. I don't need some stupid ceremony to make anything any better."
"So that'll be $267.50, thank you, sir. If you could just fill this little paper out." He handed Heero the form and pen, but Relena took it and quickly inked in the necessary information, along with a check. "Thank you very much."
"We'll have it all ready in a few minutes. You two can just wait in here." Eileen pointed at some chairs by the door.
"Thank you." Relena sank down into a chair, a slightly worried look on her face. –This seems wrong. –
"Are you all right?"
"Fine..." –It's all so fast...–
"This is it."
"Yeah..." –Too fast. –
"We're ready for you." Eileen smiled at Heero, motioning him inside. He stood and walked in.
"But he loves me...if I don't marry him now...he may never marry me..." The familiar 'here comes the bride' tune began to play. "That's me..." Relena sadly smiled and walked over to the door. "Goodbye life."
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join these two people together in holy matrimony. Do you..." He looked down at the paper, "Heero Yuy take..." He looked down again, "Relena Peacecraft to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have, to hold, to love, to cherish, to honor, and respect, in sickness and in health as long as you both live?"
He took her hand. "I do."
"And do you Relena..." He looked down at the paper once more, "Peacecraft take..."
"Heero Yuy," Relena smiled.
"Yes, Heero Yuy to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have, to hold, to love, to cherish, to honor, and respect, in sickness and in health as long as you both live?"
"I do."
"Do you have rings?" Relena face went pale. "If not, you can purchase one for each of you. A man's is $17.99 and a woman's $39.99."
"I have one." Heero said, pulling out a small, black, velvet box. "I've had this ring for nearly a year now, for you. I finally get to use it."
"Well then, repeat after me! With this ring I, thee wed."
"With this ring I, thee wed." He opened the box and produced a beautiful one-karat princess cut ring with two tiny diamond side stones and slipped it onto her finger.
"I..I don't have one for you, Heero."
"It doesn't matter..."
"Well, you can repeat anyway. With this ring I, thee wed."
Relena giggled, "With this ring I, thee wed."
"Well, then, that's it. By the law that's vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife, and you can kiss your bride." And kiss they did...Their lips met and tangoed passionately. At first, a peck, then their mouths opened, and Heero's tongue leapt toward hers. He brought his hands up to her head and ran his fingers through her oh so soft hair, curling the tendrils around each fingertip and inhaling her lovely scent. He could have stayed there forever. "Uh hum!" Until a voice interrupted them. They both turned to look at him, blushing a bit. "Have a lovely life Mr. and Mrs. Yuy."
Then they had gone back to the motel... "Uh oh, now what?" Relena asked, knowing good and well Hilde was in her room, and Duo was in Heero's. She was now certain she was not crazy. Perhaps Hilde was, but she was not. She had not imagined anything from this trip. It had all been real, just as real as this moment was.
"I'll kick Duo out."
"How? And what do I do?"
"Just hide, I'll deal with Duo."
Relena reached up with her hand and brushed a piece of hair from Heero's eyes. "I'll be right here waiting for you..."
He stole a quick kiss and nearly ran up to his room. "Duo!" He called, sounding angry and pounding on the door.
Duo got up and walked sleepily to the door. "What man?" He asked, opening it and looking into the eyes of a very mad looking 'buddy' of his.
"Get out!"
"What did I do?"
"Get out! I've thought about it, and you always screw up my life! You ruined it forever with this stupid plan of yours! Now get out!" –I'll have to thank him later...Nah. –
"Ok, ok, fine! But where on Earth am I supposed to go?"
"Why don't you go up to your little girlfriend's room? I'm sure your partner in crime would be glad to give you some pity." –This is really very fun. I almost hope he protests more. Wait, no, Relena's downstairs. Oh well...I suppose I do need to speed things along. "Now leave!"
"Geez! I'm going! I'm going!" Duo went back inside to get clothes. –I wonder what got into him...–
"No! Just go! You've humiliated me! Humiliate yourself!"
Duo knew better than to cross an angry psychopath, so he walked out of the room and up the stairs in nothing more than a pair of blue and white polka- dotted boxers.
For a moment, Heero smirked with satisfaction. Then, he flew back down the stairwell for his princess.
"What happened?" Relena asked, jumping into his arms before he ever hit the bottom stair.
"Nothing. Let's go." He scooped her into his arms and carried her back up.
"I always wanted to do this," Relena giggled as Heero carried her 'through the threshold.' "Not exactly what I'd imagined, but perfect, just perfect."
He laid her down on the bed and kissed her. "Perfect."

An: So? You happy? I am! I've been waiting the whole time to get up to this! Yay! Well, let me know what u think!
Special Thanks:
Daddynaz – Yes, Heero, a stripper! Lol, it was a really strange concept, but I think it worked...yes, the point was to tease the imagination! And yes, the figure in the shadows watching, is of course, Heero! There are certain things u just have to put in a HxR ficcie, lol. Yes, u were paying attention, thank you. And sometimes it's difficult to come up with new things because there are so many all ready written fics with such great ideas! Thank you so much for being a faithful reader and reviewer!
Swords-Babe – Yes, very very very scary! Lol. And yes, they're together! evil smile
Wing – I hope I un-confused you! None of it was a dream. Relena just thought she was going crazy or something, but...she's not! Yes, that's the question of the hour, Heero, a stripper? Thanks!
Raizard333 – I'm so glad you found it interesting! Yes, Relena and Heero get together. Yes, Hilde and Duo do too. Thanks for the review!
SakuraXHimura – Yes, Heero is stupid sometimes, but I hope this makes up for his stupidity. Yes, she would be happier, and yes, she is happier. However, that brings back up the question, "Then why was she crying?" Ah, you'll have to wait and see!
Hououza – Thank you! I'm glad I still keep you on your toes. Yes, it is interesting how it gets back to the start. I can't wait to type it up for you guys. I believe the HxR side will win, and that's good, cause I'd hate her to end up with anyone else!
Steph – Thanks for the review!
