Chapter 9

Simply titled: A little sap, and a little humor

"..." Means someone's talking

'...' Means someone's thinking

AN: Author's notes

"Who are you?"

"I'm just as I seem Princess Relena. A fairy." She changes into her normal human size form. "It's nice to meet you Princess Relena. I am the Fairy Princess Cestine, or you can just call me Cestine." Relena remains quiet, still slightly shocked, and Cestine speaks up again. "Now do me a favor. Don't go crazy on me, okay? The last time I frightened someone, by accident mind you, they screamed so loud that my ears, in my fairy form, hurt for almost a week."

"And you couldn't change into human form so it would hurt less because you could be seen easier?"

"Exactly. Wow, you know so much about us already. It's nice to meet someone who does."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course."

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, right. Well, you're famous."

"Excuse me?"

"Yes, a fairy heard from Tanya that--"

"Tanya?"

"Yes, Tanya knows who we are."

"Oh, sorry. Please continue."

"Well, the fairy told me the story of you and the other Ladies of this Court and I came to see what you were like. You're all that I've heard so far. Hmm, he did make a good choice."

"Who did?"

"Oh, never mind."

"Are you going to show yourselves to the others?"

"Maybe, but I'm pretty sure the other fairies will. We're all very curious about you. Oh, I better get going. I have a few more things to take care of." She changes into fairy form again, and then starts flying off, but then speaks up again. "You like Heero, don't you Princess?"

"What?" She asks, surprised.

"Oh, I have to go. See you later." She finishes, as she flies off before Relena can talk to her again.

A few seconds later...

"You should of seen her Heero. Completely calm. I thought she would go crazy, be in shock for the longest time, or anything like that, but she wasn't. It surprised me."

"Why did you go and see her in the first place Cestine."

"I told I would. Oh, but she was surprised, sort of, when I first appeared, and then again when I told her if she liked--" She stops, realizing what she just said, and turns to face her.

"If she liked what?"

"Um, nothing?"

"Cestine, what do you mean? If she liked who?"

"No, it's a what."

"No, I can tell you're lying. If she liked who Cestine? Who?"

"No, really, it's a what. If she liked how...Um, uh...Oh, how the flowers grow here at the castle."

"Cestine, tell me the truth."

"Oh, I think they're calling me. I have to go. See you later Heero."

"Cestine, come back here." He says, but she's already gone, and he sighs frustrated.

The next day...

"So what's your favorite part about the garden Adriana?"

"Oh, everything. It's all so beautiful." Quatre looks at her smiling, and smiles as well, as they sit down. "Thank you once again for introducing me to this garden."

"Oh, it was all my pleasure Lady Adriana."

"You're flattering me now sir."

"You're not used to being flattered?"

"Well, I was supposed to be "flattered" whenever someone paid a high price for me. But it was never flattery. It was more like horror waiting to sprout whenever I was bought and I saw who bought me. A few men looked nice, but weren't. There was this one man who...I'm sorry, I don't want to go on."

"No, it's okay. Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course."

"How many times have you been sold?"

"Oh...Oh, that. Let me think...Um, either 6 or 7 times. And I'd rather not talk about that now. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy talking to you, it's just that it's a beautiful day and I don't want to ruin the day by telling you all about my past."

"Is it really bad?"

"Yes it is. Actually, I've never even started this conversation with anyone until you today."

"Oh, I see." They remain quiet for a few seconds, and then turn to face each other, both with smiles on their faces. Suddenly they both lean forward, but right before their lips meet, they hear a voice near them.

"Adriana? Quatre, where are you two?"

"Oh, aah!" Adriana says, completely surprised, as she falls backwards, and hits the ground.

"Are you okay?" He asks, as he stands back up, and comes over to her.

"Besides making a fool of myself, I'm just fine."

"There you are." Quatre helps Adriana up, and then they turn to face Angel, Trowa, and Hilde and Duo, who are holding hands and both have smiles on their faces. "Are you two okay?"

"Hehe, hi, we're fine." Adriana says, and then laughs nervously.
