(REVISED EDITION-Chapter's changed)

The Glass Peace

Relena looked out the window of her quite large estate. She was Vice Foreign Minister of the ESUN, one of the highest ranking officials and an advocate of peace. She has, or had, thought of her own self to have accomplished a lot for being only a teenager. She had been Vice Foreign Minister, Princess Relena, Queen Relena, and now back to Vice Foreign Minister with her foster family's last name so she wouldn't have to live up to the expectations lain down by her forefathers on her original lineage. She was actually thinking about running for Presidency. She sighed. The colonies and Earth aren't in as much turmoil as someone would think, but things are still so hectic and there's so much to still do. She shook her head.

For once she had actually finished her work before the afternoon, now she had the whole rest of the day left to herself, only now, she didn't know what to do. She was always thinking about work and now, the one day for since forever I have nothing to do what so ever. She thought. She took a deep breath and sighed, then looked out the window, which by it the bear that Heero had given to her on her birthday. The rain pattered lightly on the thin glass.

"It's raining..." She whispered, looking as the rain created a almost dazzling effect upon the lake just outside in the courtyard which looked like water dancing on water. She smiled slightly, but her eyes kept on diverting to the little bear with a pink ribbon wrapped around its neck. She couldn't stop thinking about the pilot of the Zero One Gundam.

She remembered the little visit that Quatre had paid to her, explaining how they had tricked Heero to talk to him about destroying the Wing Gundam. The outcome had made her almost laugh, how they realized he had remodeled his Gundam because he had a good idea on an upgrade, though it was pointless. Remembering how Quatre threw in what Duo said about the whole "We're talking about a sports car that you like here?" or something of the sort. She still laughed on how she thought the other four would look. Quatre said that everyone except Wufei was shocked, even Trowa.

It was quite impossible to shock Trowa, the Gundam pilot of Heavyarms, which was a heavily armed machine ranging from missiles to bullets. It was also equipped with a beam saber that was usable when the large machine gun on its right arm was removed. Also, there was a large knife, much like a giant Bowie knife, that was to be used as a last resort when all ammunition was out.

Relena turned around and then sat down in her working chair, looking at the neatly organized desk. She had actually gotten around to organizing it too, unlike Quatre's cluttered desk. Sometimes she wondered who had more to do. She looked at one of her desk drawers, the first one on the right hand side where she kept a lot of hr important stuff. She opened it and then rummaged to the bottom, and then produced a picture, one of Heero, who was barely turned around enough, like someone had called his name and he was turning to see the caller. She smiled and fingered the picture, taking in everything about him.

Pictures of him were rare, camera's that did get his picture were... well, she sighed remembering when she found her camera which she had used to take many pictures of him and other guests from a party that Une made him attend. There it was, lying on the ground; massacred and decimated in a pile of rubble with bullet holes in it.

"Miss Relena?" A knock came after the voice, not hearing a response. She quickly put the picture away as fast as she could, and slammed it closed and then muttered a 'come in' loud enough for the person behind the door to hear. The door creaked open.

A young woman appeared in front of the open door now, one of Relena's best friends and current secretary, Fey Lynn. She smiled at Relena, whom she was allowed to address as so since they were close friends and shared almost everything. "Are you done with the reports I gave you?" She asked politely.

Relena nodded, she rummaged around and then found a few documents with a lot of typed words on it. "Here you go." She smiled.

Fey took them from her and then looked at the clock on her desk. "Y'know, you only have thirty minutes to get what you want to do done with your free time." She stated.

Relena looked at her, confused at what she just said. "Huh? What do you mean?" she questioned. She could have sworn she had nothing planned for this day.

The secretary blinked and looked at Relena. "Your meeting with the Neo Queen f Japan's son. Tonight. At the Theatre to watch Hamlet in thirty minutes as of now." The secretary said, removing her eyes from the wristwatch she wore.

Relena's eyes widened. "Oh my God! I completely forgot!" She jumped out oh chair and rushed over to Fey. "What am I gonna do?" She yelled.

"Well," She responded. "I suggest that we get you some clothes to wear." She pointed out logically. She was wearing her normal light blue, almost lavender suit that she wore whenever she was representative of the Sanc Kingdom back during the war. "From what I hear, he's very cute, you're so lucky." She tossed her hair that was put up in a small ponytail and whipped around her jet-black hair. She cocked her head to the side, looking over Relena. "Hm..." She hummed.

"Well?" Relena asked, impatient.

"I think you need to get something to wear, something to impress him. Neo Queen is a very prominent person, and I hear from reports from his bodyguard that he's quite the rebel and risk taker. Let's make a good impression." She meant to Relena as to not wear something too fancy so as not to intimidate him.

"You know his bodyguard?" Relena raised an eyebrow. "That's quite unusual for you." She said, hitting a nerve on Fey.

She blushed. "He's good lookin' too, he- he um invited me on a date, I haven't gotten back to him yet though." She whispered, bowing her head and touching her flaming hot cheeks. Her blush deepened when she saw Relena smile at her.

"Why haven't you accepted? I mean if you like him..." Relena asked.

Fey looked up at her. "Oh, I don't think that I have the time to do that." She said thoughtfully. She used her fingers to check off some of the upcoming events. "Well, there the peace conference, and the treaties that need to be mailed, your appointment for the meeting with the Queen, oh...there's so much to do and so little time." She said. "I can't believe that we are on our way towards peace through the UESN and the colonies." She said, sighing dreamily.

Her and Relena both showed the same ideals of what they thought peace would be like, which made them even more friends than they already were and Pagan loved having this in a secretary. There was no need to get out the gun that he was saving incase of a non-peace believer, such as Dorothy was during the war, since he didn't want Relena side-tracked from her goal.

Relena smiled sadly. Her friend was working as hard as she was, arranging the meetings, taking care of the many calls and her needs, along with Fey's own life and love life. It seemed as if, even though she was also a teenager at the age of seventeen, that her love-life hadn't improved though she had gotten many date requests, but had to turn them down due to work. She was very dedicated to her job, but it seemed she really liked this bodyguard.

Fey looked at Relena, questioning her silence through the puzzlement in her eyes. Relena smiled at her. "Y'know..." Relena said slyly. "I wouldn't mind if you went on a date with his body guard," She smiled purely happy this time at the genuine look on Fey's face. "You take off a day anytime you want to have one. I'll even give you your paycheck in advance, so you can go shopping for the perfect dress and stuff."

"Oh my gosh!" Fey said, with tears in her eyes. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She shouted jumping up and down with Relena.

"Wait!" Fey stopped jumping, then Relena stopped too. "We have to get you ready!"

"You're right!" Relena rushed out of her office, Fey following quickly as she rushed to her room.

"How 'bout this?" Fey asked, sporting a strapless white, almost rich cream colored dress that was skintight that went down to the knees, then flared out like a fan and was a lighter colored white that was almost see through.

"Oooh..." Relena said, looking over the dress. "I like it." She said, grinning. Fey nodded, having the same thing on her mind as what was on Relena's. 'Knock 'im dead in his tracks.' They chuckled; knowing each one another under stood each other.

Relena rushed into the bathroom to change and after a few minutes came out, wearing the skintight dress. She looked stunning. "Oooh, it's perfect!" Fey said, rushing over to her. "Now we need to do your hair, your face, and see if there is any necklaces that will look go. We don't want to over accessorize so he won't think that you're trying too hard." She said matter-of-factly.

Nodding her head over what she just said, Fey followed Relena into the bathroom where they pulled out Relena's normal braids, brushed her hair and decided on what style to do her hair in. Leaving it down would just be too plain. "Got it!" Fey shouted loudly, hitting her fist in her palm.

She ran out of the room and then came back with a white wide and long ribbon. She clasped Relena's hair, brushed it to get out of the ruffles. She took a hair tie and pulled it into a pony tail, then took the ribbon and placed it tightly and high on Relena's hair, then took out the hair tie and then looked over her craftsman ship. She smiled, and same for Relena.

"I shouldn't go with make up tonight. I never where it any ways and it's raining." Relena said, getting up from the beauty stool in front of a big mirror and then walked out of the bathroom, getting some white tennis shoes. They were brand new, and she preferred not to wear high heels, they left sores on her feet, which made it hard to get through her busy schedule.

Fey nodded, agreeing with what Relena said, walking into the closet then grabbed a white sweat jacket from a hanger in her closet and tossed it to Relena. "Here." She said, then looked at her watch.

"What time is it?" Relena asked, tying her shoelace into a neat bow.

"Time to go." Fey said, "We had better get Pagan and you there." She smiled sweetly, one of those true smiles. "Wouldn't want you to be late." She turned, about to go get Pagan, an older man that had been with Relena long before she had arrived.

Relena placed a hand on her shoulder. Fey turned to look at her. "Why don't you come too, set that date we were talking about."

Fey looked at her, a smile crept over her lips but then faded as she looked down. "I-I don't think that would be right. A lot more people are probably looking to assassin the Neo Queen's son than you." She said, not diverting her eyes from the floor.

Relena looked shocked. "He's that famous?" She questioned.

Fey nodded to this. She looked up. "A lot of people don't know him, but those who do have some other reason for wanting him." She said. "Don't know why though. Also a lot of girls want him for themselves."

"Wow." Relena said, impressed. "He's that cute?"

"Yep." Fey stated. "He's not the kinda guy who tries to look good, but is just born that way."

"Oh my god!" Relena said, the time hitting her like a bombshell. She raced out of the room, dragging Fey with her.

Pagan quickly rushed them to the Theatre which was a five star one, featuring Hamlet, suggested by the Queen herself.
