^_^; Next chapter I'm afraid. Should be a little better. I hope. Ok. Well, not really. Sorry, but this story is rather boring. O_o I post it, because I love the villain. He doesn't really get his spot light til the end though. If you didn't care much for chapter one, umm. ^_^ go look at my profile I have much better stories then this one. I wrote this years ago.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Duo walked into the small living room of Noin's apartment. The gundam pilots, plus Zechs and Noin, were scattered through out the room working and drinking coffee. No one bothered to look up at him. Duo sighed and fell into a chair throwing the leftover cake on a coffee table sitting in the middle of the room.

"How did it go?" Asked Zechs, without looking up from his computer. They had been working sense they got back from the hospital on the Internet and looking through the papers given to the preventers for the case.

"Well, Trowa was right. If I didn't have something in my hands, Heero would have blown my head off. What did you find out?"

"Not much." Said Trowa, "They are well trained and won't say anything." He paused, "However, we do know the group was formed around the time the wars ended."

"That's it? I hope we haven't lost our touch."

"It's not the same as trying to crack a code." Said Trowa.

"How long do you think it will take?" Duo asked worried.

"Heero and Relena are getting along aren't they?" Asked Quatre concerned.

"Yeah, I guess so." Said Duo falling onto the couch, "But it doesn't take long for Heero to get on someone's nerves."

"She is safe there, isn't she?" Asked Zechs looking up from his computer, "If he screws up once-"

"Well, Heero isn't going to let anything touch her," Said Duo cutting him off. "So I wouldn't worry. He knows what he's doing, Zechs."

He looked back to his computer, rather angrily. "I just don't trust him with her. It doesn't make much sense to leave her safety with a boy who kept trying to kill her."

"So where do you want to go?" Asked Heero walking over to get his wallet. She sat thinking for a second and saw him slip a round of refills for his gun into his pocket with his wallet. For some reason it bothered her, but she pushed it out of her mind.

"I don't care," She said shrugging, "Whatever you want is fine." He studied her for a second and nodded. They left the beaten up apartment and walked about a block to a small café, with out saying a word.

The café had one wall of windows and a door, which made it easy for him to see if any one was coming. They both ordered some sandwiches and Heero watched them make it on the counter. He brought it and the cans of soda to Relena, who waited in a booth. They both ate silently, avoiding each other's eyes as they had the whole day.

"When is your next meeting?" He asked, breaking the silence.

"Tomorrow, three 'o clock." She answered and took a drink of soda. "It's at colony 384."

"Do you have your own jet?" He asked and she nodded. "Are you reading to go?"

"Mostly, I still have to finish a speech." He nodded and they left. It was a nice day. The sun was out and there was a nice breeze. He watched the wind blow her hair around lightly. A shadow appeared stretched over her and he looked up at a figure on the top of a building. He pushed her down before the bullet hit the ground and shot back at the figure. He watched the person fall down and then looked at Relena. She was breathing hard and a little paler. He waited for her to get up and saw that her leg had gotten scratched up.

"Is your leg alright?" He asked holding out his hand to help her up.

"It's just little scratched, but I'll be ok." She smiled up at him and took his hand. He gave one of his rare half smiles and they walked down the street.

When they got back she tended to her leg and then went back to her speech wail Heero typed on his laptop. They both work until ten.

"If you have a meeting you should get some rest now." Said Heero closing his laptop. "It will be a long day and we'll have to leave at ten." She saved her speech and closed her laptop as well.

"Your right." She said getting a glass of water. "This should be a very important."

"The sister colony program, right?" Asked Heero.

"Yes," She said finishing her water. "Hopefully it will help prevent future wars between the colonies and Earth."

"I'm sure it will if the politicians all work together, which hardly ever happens if they are left to their own devices, but that's why you are there. Some needs to keep them in line." He said and she smiled.

"Good night, Heero." She said softly to him.

"Good night, Relena." He said back. She went into her room, changed into a long white night gown and tried to sleep. She lay in the dark room for a wail before she was able to drift asleep.

"Relena." She heard Heero say. She blinked awake and he stood in the doorway. He was already dress and wide-awake. "It's five after eight."

"Five after eight! Were going to be late!" He nodded and left. She got dress in a long blue dress, to hide her hurt leg, and brushed her hair back into a pony tale. She walked out to see Heero leaning on the counter eating an apple. He wore jeans and a dress shirt. She was surprised at the change off of his usual short ensemble and took it as meaning he understood the importance of her meeting.

"Good morning." She said smiling. He nodded and tossed her an apple.

"Breakfast." She ate it quickly, grabbed her laptop and left the apartment and drove to the airport. The plane was there just as it should and Heero checked it over. Everything seemed to be all right so they flew there and made it with out any trouble.

"That was strange." Said Relena getting off, "Why do you think they stopped attacking?" Heero walked with his hands in his pocket.

"They may be bored with little attempts and are planning something drastic."

She sighed at the straightforward answer. "Probably." She commented drably.

They walked silently to the huge hall where at least 500 hundred people were sitting at the first level alone. Everyone turned when she entered.

"What time is it?" She asked Heero in a whisper.

"Ten after two." He whispered back while scanning the room.

Why dose everyone always have to get here early?" She wondered rather annoyed. "We" She walked gracefully up to the podium and stood in front of the crowd. She looked to the coordinator at the side and he nodded for her to begin.

"Two years ago we suffered the worst wars in this history of the planet and the colonies. The fact is we should have stopped it much sooner, but that is the past. Our future must be united as not colonist, or earthlings, but as people. To understand this main goal, we must understand each other, as people. Doing this, the colonist and the planetary countries must unite and form bonds with each other, so that the difficulty of staining peace is not weighted on a few ambassadors between space and earth, but to all the people in whole. I ask that as a country can choose a colony and each colony can choose a country to befriend and find bonds to. The project will not take place to only officials, but to all people and industry. By trading and understanding one another's past, we can live among each other with out difficulty, or hesitation. This will enforce the peace we all enjoy." She went on with the specific details of how the program worked and what would be required and the development of the program She finished and got a standing ovation as the hall filled with the rounds of applause.

People came up to her and congratulated her successful plan and she thanked everyone as Heero stood in the back watching each hand. One by one the people filtered out to choose their sister colony and Relena found the room empty, with the exempt her, Heero, and a man standing in the shadows.

"Wonderful speech." The man said walking up to her. He looked about 20 something and had shoulder length, purple hair and small glasses at the end of his nose. His face was very thin and he wore a gray suit. "Only a true Peacecraft could give such a speech."

Heero walked over and stood next to Relena. The man smiled when he saw him.

"And a Yuy helping you? Of course, how could you go wrong with him?" He paused and studied her. "You are more resourceful then I though, aren't you? Strange that such a peaceful girl could convinse him to help you."

He started walking away. Heero's hand twitched, wanting to grab his gun as the man walked away. He stopped at the door and turned around. "Before I leave, how does that boy protect you so well?" He asked and Heero held up his gun. The man nodded.

"Someday I'll find out, is that? I suppose so. Oh, and Miss. Peacecraft, I hope your leg is alright." Heero shot a bullet and the man jump just out of the way before it hit the door and ran out.

"I have a bad feeling about him. Next time I see him." Heero muttered under his breath.

"He knew about my leg." Relena said looking down at her leg. "This dress is too long to see the scratches. Do you think that he is involved?"

"I'm sure he is." He turned and looked at her. "Look out for him alright." She nodded

"Let's go and see if anyone signed up yet." She said moving trowards the door. She walked in and everyone gave a second round of applause. A tall man in a tan suit came up and shock his her hand.

"Congratulations, Relena!" He said, as much to the crowd as to her. "Everyone his agreed and chosen their sister colony. We all invite you, Miss Relena, to the party we are holding next week in honor of this great accomplishment!" She smiled.

"Thank you all. I'm glad we have taken another step into endless peace." She said fairly.

After everyone had left again she fell into a chair and sighed. "That was easier then I thought it would be." She said wearily to Heero who stood above her. This was probably the first speech he stayed the entire time, which made her smile.

"Anything else you have to do here?" He asked looking at his watched. He looked so handsome, being dressed up. It made him look older and stronger. His hair was still wild and free and his eyes were as strong and blue as they had been the last time when she saw him. He turned and looked her in the eyes, catching her off guard and a little embarrassed to be staring like that.

"I don't think so." She said gathering herself together.

"It's about nine, but it's too late to get back to Earth with getting there about six in the morning, so I think we should find a hotel and stay the night. It should be safe enough, if that purple man doesn't come back."

"I suppose so, I didn't think we would be here very long." She said apologetically as they began walking out the door.

"It's alright." He said looking around for a hotel. They finally found one called "Better than Home" and Heero dealt with getting a room wail Relena looked around a little. It was a nice hotel, with quite a few people staying in it. She found most hotels about the same now, because she had stayed in so many senses she began the project. She was hoping to take a vacation after it was through, but with the situation and Heero, it didn't seem very likely. She sighed, thinking of how she was looking forward to resting on the beach for a little wail.

"Are you alright?" Asked Heero, making her jump a little.

"I'm fine." She said pulling herself from her comfy fantasy spot on the beach.

"I got a room. It should be the safest room here." She nodded and followed him to it. He slid the card through the slot on the door and waited for the green light to appear. The door slid open with a click. The room was well decorated with a lot of blue and green, with two beds in the center of the room and a huge bathroom, at least compared to Heero's. She walked over and sat on one of the beds still thinking of the beach. Maybe I could go and now Heero would come too.

"Is it ok?" He asked her.

"It's great." She said falling back one to the bed.

"If you're hungry, there's a restaurant down stairs." He said looking out the window next to his bed. She thought about it.

"I'm not sure. I'm really tired, but some food would be nice." Heero sat down on his bed.

"I think we should just go to sleep." Said Heero, who looked really tired. "We can fly back home in the morning." He looked over at her.

"So we just sleep in our clothes?" She asked.

"That or sleep with out them." He said making her blush. "I won't look."

"I'll just sleep like this." She said embarrassed. She slid under the sheets and drifted off to sleep.

"My little sister, Relena." Relena saw a young boy, only about ten, holding a little baby girl in his arms. She looked closer at the little boy.

"That's Milliardo." She said surprised and looked at the girl. "And that's me." They were both out side sitting in a garden in the shade. It was a beautiful garden; lots of roses and irises color the large land. "I remember this garden." She looked at one of the roses. "The white roses were my favorite." Little Milliardo stood up and picked a white rose and showed it to the tiny baby.

"Isn't it beautiful?" He asked her. She happily laughed when the flower touched her nose. She tried to grab it, but Milliardo pulled it away. "Sorry, but the thorns might hurt you." She looked a little sad, but he smiled down at her. "I know let's go into the maze." She looked behind her and saw huge maze of green behind her. Milliardo started running into the maze and Relena watched him with his happy smile and her in his arms.

Suddenly bombs hit near the maze. A few more went flying. "It's going to hit them!" She realized. She watched as one flew and hit the center of the maze and the entire bush flew on fire.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"NO!" She screamed sitting up and breathing hard. She looked around at the dark hotel room. She felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Asked Heero sitting on the edge of her bed. She was to out of breath to answer and just nodded. He pushed some hair out of her eyes and looked at her. "Bad dream?" She took a few more second to catch her breath.

"Yeah," She said getting a grip, "It was." She trailed off. She thought of the little Milliardo and her and then the garden maze and the bombs. Heero watched her space off again. He touched her face gently and she jerked back out of the dream.

"What happened in the dream?" He asked her. She was surprised by his tone of interest and concern.

"It.It was me and Milliardo, when we were really young. H.He was holding me and showing me a garden and he went into a maze with me and then these people started bombing things and the garden maze was hit and it went on fire and. and. we were still in it and there were so many bombs." She felt a tear falling down her cheek. He pushed it away and held her softly. "I-It was just a dream." She said trying to stop crying.

"It's alright." Heero said letting her go and laying her back. "Just relax. You and Milliardo are both fine."

"I'm sorry I woke you up." She said claming down.

"It's alright." He said standing up. "Just try to help me with my nightmares, alright?"
