(Alright I'll try to see if I can follow Jero's suggestions. I apologize for the slow development and short chapters and I'll try and speed up the plot. Btw, I have added another event for second chapter so please reread it if you've not read the longer version. I don't know if I can make longer chapters however, but I guess I'll try to. Oh yeah would like me to answer that question you asked in your review Crystal Gundam?)

That girl on the swing…so happy…so beautiful. Why was she here? Did she come to him, or did he come to her?…Strange. Even fateful perhaps? There are so many questions. No answers…

Quick images of her appeared in his mind. Images of her smiling, then another of her frowning. Next, she was happy, then sad. And then there was her normal expression and what appeared to be a sickly one. The images replayed, this time faster. Then again, even faster this time, and again and faster each time…

"Wake up sleepy head" said a voice. Heero woke up and saw Sango sitting beside him on the bed where he lay down. She bent down next to him where their faces were near each other. "Guess who I picked up at the airport this morning" she said. "Kagome? Oh I almost forgot about her" Heero said remembering that Kagome, his sister-in-law wanted to finish the school week before leaving and coming to live with them and starting life at a new school. She kissed him good morning and got up and before leaving the bedroom, she announced "Breakfast is ready"

Heero got up and went to the kitchen still dressed in his pajamas. At the table were Kagome and Sango sitting bedside each other talking to each other, apparently about girly things it seemed. "Hello Kagome. How was your flight?" Heero asked as he took a seat next to Sango. "Fine thank you" came her reply. He got his chopsticks and quietly began eating the sushi on the bowl in front of him. After a few minutes, Sango and Kagome discontinued their conversation. "Kagome has something to ask of you" his wife brought up. "Oh, sure anything. What is it?" he said looking at her. "I certainly wouldn't mind helping out for the Christmas party" she said smiling. Well, another helper! thought Heero. "Alright. I'll make the arrangement when you start school" he stated. "Heero, do you think that we could go tour the city today? I think we should" Sango said hopefully. Since he didn't have any work to do, he though 'sure, why not?'. "Yes, of course. Good idea" he said agreeing with her. "Alright then. Finish up breakfast and get showered" Sango began commandingly, but jokingly. "Because we're not going to wait for you" she smiled.

It felt like a good exciting day and Heero liked it. He sat in the driver's seat eager to see what it was that all the travelers that came here came to see. Behind him, were Sango and Kagome looking out the windows wanting to see what kind of city New York was like. After an hour or so of driving, Kagome saw from afar what it was. "Look! I see it, there it is!" she said. Both Heero and Sango looked at the window and smiled. It was out in a bay where the Atlantic touched NY and there was a little island in view. On it was a very big aqua green statue of a lady dressed in a toga, and crown with spikes sticking out from it. She was holding a torch high up in one hand, and a tome in the other. Her name was the Statue of Liberty.

It was a time to be remembered indeed. They had hiked up the Statue and the three of them were now somewhere in her crown looking at the view of the city across the water. Kagome, who was interested in the history, went around looking at the display of texts and documents put up on the wall, leaving her sister and brother-in-law alone. "Its so beautiful" awed Sango. She leaned on Heero's shoulder as she stared at the city. He wrapped an arm around her. "Yes. It is" he said believing her. "So I guess we'll be happy here then" Heero added. "Yes" Sango said now facing him. "So if we have a daughter or son, what should we name it?" she continued. "Well, I'm not really concerned about what name our children have. We can worry about it when its time"

They stayed at the Statue for a little while longer and went to get a bite at a local restaurant. They finally found one they thought would be a good choice called La Pierre's. They thought it would be interesting to try non-American food for a change and it resulted in a delicious lunch and desert. With a big bill.

Next, they went to the commercial centers because Sango and Kagome wanted to go shopping, which Heero thought wasn't very exciting. While they were at JC Penny, he decided to just go walk around the mall for a bit and get a drink. He got a slurpee at the tiny McDonald's at the food court and strolled until he found a bookstore called Barnes & Noble. He walked in thinking 'well at least it as boring as shopping for clothes'. Seeing that there were different genres to choose from depending on what aisle you walked in, he went to the fiction section. He scanned through the selection of books until he saw something that he thought might be interesting. Finally, he picked up a fairly large novel called Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. He opened to the first page and started to read it. "Mr. Yuy?" said a voice he knew he knew. He looked over to his side and saw that it was Relena. "Oh hi Relena! What a surprise to see you here. Did you come here to browse too?" She nodded and looked over to see what book Heero held in his hands. "Do you know when we will start making preparations for the party?" she asked. "Well we're in process. I'm going to see if we can make a registration at the Moon Crown Palace Mr. Winner told me about, but I don't think it's likely; he says its expensive." "Oh yeah, guess what? My sister-in-law Kagome will be starting school with your class first thing Monday and she wants to help out with the party too" he added. Heero saw how she paid close attention. "So how may I help?" she asked him. Oh yeah. That's right. Duh, why would she volunteer then? He thought for a moment and said: "Well the first step needs to be taken care of first. Are you eager to start?" he smiled. A moment passed and finally Relena spoke up. "…No I was just wondering Mr. Yuy." "Well, I have to get back to my wife and her sister, so I'll see you at school ok?" he said putting Great Expectations back on the bookshelf and bid her farewell before walking away.

After meeting Mr. Yuy at the mall, Relena went straight home taking the train. It was a few hours before evening when she finally got to what people called 'home'. Hers was a small gray house, black house. She unlocked the door and when she stepped inside, it was nothing but shadows. No T.V. no furniture, no nothing. 'Maybe he feels that I won't be a good helper…maybe that's why he doesn't want my help' she thought feeling her heart pounding. Taking a moment to find out what this feeling was inside her, she realized that the constant image of her new teacher was in her mind. And since he walked into that room, he began invading his mind. His presence was growing stronger. 'I have to prove myself to him then' she thought resolved. She went to the computer which was just about the only luxury she had other than a bed and a refrigerator, and logged on to the internet. She remembered Mr. Yuy mentioning Moon Crown Palace. Going to a search engine, she typed in the name of the place and searched through the results for information.

"If you wish to rent this place, then price will be $50,000 for until the day after Christmas" the salesperson explained. "I….see" Heero said his eyes surprised. "So sir, would you like to purchase our services today?" the salesperson in front of him at a casher asked. "No thank you" he said. Heero walked out of the Palace trying to think of something else to do. He then remembered that Sango also bought him new clothes for him at JC Penny yesterday and he promised that he would try them on when he got home. After he got the car started, he drove away. And little did he know that someone else had also come here right after he left.

Relena walked in the by the front door just seconds after Heero left (which she herself didn't know) and went up to the casher where the salesperson stood. "Hello. How may I be of service to you?" he said politely. "Uhm…is this place vacant if I may ask?" Her words came out a bit nervously. "Why yes of course" he said. "Would you like to rent?" "Yes." Relena's reply was definite. 'That'll be $50,000 for until the day after Christmas. We only take credit cards if you do not mind miss" he explained. She took out a credit card which she almost never used and handed it to him. He swiped it on the casher and handed it back to her. "Now I will explain our services that come with this purchase. You may call us anytime to come and help with the arrangement of your party miss. Please call us if you have nay questions" the salesperson said. She left and thought about what she would say to Mr. Yuy. Will he be happy that she got the place? She imagined him not believing it with surprise. But will he scold her for spending all that money? Maybe he would think that she was weak for having to spend all that, and then if he thought that she was weak, he wouldn't want her to help him. She thought and she thought and finally decided what to tell him.

(Ok, was this pace better?)
