Get Rel
NOTE: I don't own Gundam Wing or its characters.
Okay, I have this question for everyone who has been following the 'For Rel' and 'Get Rel' fics. Do you guys think I should do both fics from Relena's point of view? As in write two fics that follow paralle with 'For Rel' and 'Get Rel' but from Lena's POV. It's just an idea that struck me one day while I was weeding and I'm asking you guys if anyone would read them if I did Relena's point of view for both fics. Or is doing Relena's POV too much and I should stop with this fic? I need feedback on this, so please, all opinions are welcomed!
The phone rang at Quatre's office while he was looking over the current report on the L-3 colony support system.
"Quatre Winner," he simply said, he remembered Relena's comment about him saying his middle name all the time and he just decided to go without giving out his middle name all the time.
"Quatre, it's Trowa," came the Heavyarms Pilot's voice crackling through on the pay phone.
"Hey Trowa, how are you doing?" smiled Quatre as he leaned back in his chair. He enjoyed his once a week talks with Trowa, it just made it seem like they were more than just former brothers in arms.
"I'm fine, we just got on Earth in Canada about twenty minutes ago," Trowa told him. "I was wondering, since we are planning on staying in North American territory I was wondering if you could come down…for a visit."
If Quatre hadn't known better, he would have thought Trowa was trying to ask him out on a date of sorts. That's insane, he thought, Trowa likes that girl, Catherine, doesn't he?
"Uh…let me check my calendar…" Quatre said as he fumbled around, knocking over little jars of pens while looking for his calendar. "Ah-ha! Yes…I will be down on Earth on May 20th, in Philadelphia for the day. So, if you want to meet sometime at night and go for dinner or something we could do that."
"Great," Trowa approved, he was smiling on the other end of the phone. It was a smile that one would not associate with Trowa normally but now it had touched his lips and he found himself unable to get rid of it. "What are you coming down for?"
"Oh just to take care of some business with an old friend." It wasn't a complete lie but then again it wasn't the complete truth either, but Quatre couldn't tell Trowa that he was going to meet Relena. What if Trowa contacted Zeches or even worse Heero and told them that Quatre was to meet her? There was no way that Quatre would dare put Relena in that position!
There was something in Quatre's tone that didn't convince Trowa that that was really all it was. What is he hiding? Trowa wondered. "I can do that; just send me an e-mail when you get to Philadelphia with the place and time."
"You got it," nodded Quatre as his secretary entered his office.
"Mr. Winner, they're waiting for you in the conference room," she reported and Quatre nodded his understanding.
"Trowa, I have a meeting that I'm late for so…"
"Go ahead, Catherine is urging me to get off the phone as well," Trowa stated.
"See you Trowa."
"Bye," was all Trowa got to say before he heard the dial tone and Catherine approached him.
"So?" she inquired right away with a huge, confident grin on her face. "What was his answer?"
Grateful for his long bangs, Trowa looked away to hide the blush he felt coming on. "We're meeting in Philadelphia on May 20th," he replied.
"I knew it!" cheered Catherine, giving her baby brother a squeeze. "Come on, Manager wants us to help set up and unload the animals."
Returning to his poker faced, silent self Trowa merely nodded his head and followed Catherine out of the airport while she cheered how he had a date. Of course, Trowa would correct his sister and tell her that it was just dinner, nothing more.
"Hey Eiji, wait up!" Duo yelled in the halls of the University, catching up to his two friends. "Can't you two at the very least wait for me to catch up instead of keep walking and ignore the crazy dude in draq?"
"Is that what you wanted to talk to us about, Selfie?" Hilde inquired, Relena may not be in any of business classes but she figured it would be great for her take them for herself. "Cause if that's all you want to talk about then don't waste our time…"
"No, I was going to ask before you interrupted me, Mindy, was if either of you two had gotten any weird phone calls lately," Duo corrected with a serious expression.
"What kind of strange phone calls?" questioned Hilde with a bit of stutter in her voice when she spoke.
"The kind where you pick up but there's no answer and all you hear is the breathing on the other line while you ask if it's Duo or me," Heero clarified.
Duo turned to him with wide-eyes. "So you had one too then," he guessed with a hint of shock in his voice because Duo had figured that Heero would be the only that wouldn't have let on about them.
"Oh those phone calls, now that you mention it…no, I haven't," Hilde stated after giving it some thought. "The only phone calls I've had are from you two, no one has called me outside you two."
Both Duo and Heero let out a collective sigh of relief, at least they still had the advantage with no one knowing about Hilde's presence.
"Well, there was this one phone call but that was from someone with the wrong number," added Hilde and all hopes that the boys had of Hilde being their secret came crashing to the ground.
"Damn," Duo cursed.
Hilde was a bit confused for a moment but then realized where the men's thoughts were heading. "Hey, that doesn't mean that it was Relena or one of her friends. People can always dial the wrong cell number accidentally from time to time. Like this one time when I tried to call Duo and my finger hit the wrong number, I had gotten the cell phone of this porn star, Steven Kirksmith."
The boys' reaction was not what she had expected; Heero just stood there adverting his eyes while scratching the back of his head and Duo was turning red.
"What?" was all Hilde could say before Jason came running between her and Duo.
"There you are Eiji, come on before we're late for class!" Jason urged, grabbing Heero by the wrist and dragging him to class.
"That's right," Duo cried out as he checked his watch, "I've got to get to class!"
"You mean we've got to get to class," came Robin's voice as a blur swept by Hilde's eyes, taking Duo with it.
"What weird people," Hilde commented dryly as she glanced both ways at the nearly empty hallway.
Zeches was teaching his class about the old famous 'Harry Potter' series and it seemed as though a good majority of the class was interested except for one student, Josephina-best known as Joey-Alley. She wasn't amused in the least but she was paying attention as Zeches lectured about the writing style, the word usage, and even the creativity of the series.
He knew that Joey had a male twin of sorts, Salem, who looked identical to Joey. It still amazed Zeches that two siblings who were twins, looked identically alike in everyway-except in some physical features-, and yet they behaved as complete opposites.
They weren't the only students who had been catching the Preventer's eye, no. For there was also that Jason girl, she was another interesting one with her multicolored hair and her constant questions. The girl seemed to have a thing for questioning everything Zeches spoke about, ranging from the literature topic to his personal life. How many professors had to put up with that?!
Then there were the Shellys, now there was a real brain teaser. Francis-Frankie-and Robin Shelly, from what Zeches had gathered through the Preventer files, are only cousins and yet they somehow looked identically to each other. It bothered Zeches to no end because he would sometimes find himself calling one Shelly by the others' name, not to say that he didn't do that with the Alleys either, but it felt odder with the cousins.
The entire handful of students simply amazed him with their relaxed and knowing gazes which could easily turn to one of innocence that could put any saint to shame. That was what made Zeches not trust them and put them at the top of his list of supposed Relenas. Even the boys were placed on that list because the Preventer didn't wish to underestimate his sister like how Heero had done before him.
Speaking of which, Heero was being constantly stubborn, not that he actually needed the young man's assistance it just would have been a little bit helpful. After all, Heero was the one who had been on the cause ever since Relena's disappearance so he may have a slightly better idea of who Relena could be.
"Prof," Jason spoke up when Zeches paused for a moment, "tell me something, why did authors like J.K. Rowling feel the need to write their following books to be longer than the previous?"
Zeches sighed, as mentioned before Jason liked to ask a lot of questions and it bothered the Preventer to no end. "I cannot tell you that one Jason for that is going into the minds of the author…" he began to answer but the girl decided that she wasn't done.
"I mean really, what's the point of writing a book that is nearly a thousand or more pages long? Just to prove that you can write excessively long books that are filled with a bunch of who-cares information and events that have no point later? Granted, Tolkien, the brilliant writer he was hundreds of years ago, his book "Lord of the Rings" was over a thousand pages long and had some moments in there that held no meaning but he didn't write a series that went on for several books that kept getting longer and longer. And another thing…"
"We see your point Ms. Collins, you may stop your one-sided argument now for we are all very impressed with your persuasive talents. Now, please allow me to continue this class as I feel fit," interrupted Zeches, drumming his fingers on his podium.
"Go ahead, no one's holding you back but yourself," she shrugged.
Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Zeches continued on with his lecture. "As I was about to say…"
Let me make this clear, I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THE 'HARRY POTTER' BOOKS! Okay, the opinions expressed by the character Jason are not my own so do not attack me if you are a 'Harry Potter' fan. Just wanted to get that cleared up.
