Unforgotten Memories
Chapter 2
By Blaktiger9

Relena opened the iron gate and ran down the steep stairs. She almost tripped on the last step, but regained her balance. The trip across the soft sand made her feet sink, making her tired. Then, Relena finally reached the fallen soldier and removed his space helmet.

"He's just a boy." Relena said while looking down on his young face.

Heero had to rethink of what he had done before, so he wouldn't ruin time. He opened his eyes and pretended to look alarmed. He got up quickly and stood a few feet away from her. Heero covered his face with his hand and asked her the first question he ever asked her.

"Did you see?" Heero asked her in a harsh and demanding voice.

"See what?" Relena said confusingly toward the mysterious soldier.

"Did you see?" Heero asked again.

Heero saw that she was bewildered by the puzzled look on her face. They both looked at each other still trying to make each other out.

An ambulance arrived at the scene and the medics started walking down the stairs.

Heero saw his opportunity and sprinted toward the ambulance, leaving Relena startled at the beach. He ran up the concrete stairs, hitting the medics that were rushing to help him. Heero made his way around the ambulance and into the driver's seat. He took a glance at Relena and found that she was running towards him. He started the engine and drove away.

Heero looked back in his rear view mirror and saw Relena reach the top of the staircase. He looked back at the road ahead of him and kept on driving for a few more miles. Heero's mind started spinning and his mind became foggy. He swerved this way and that and barely missed a tree. The ambulance went out of control and went over the concrete bridge. The vehicle plunged into the river below and then everything went black.

Heero awoke quickly and sat up in his bed. He found himself sweating and out of breath. He regained his normal breathing pattern and wondered about the "dream" he had.

'I'm back in my room.'

Heero looked around and everything was in its original place. He looked at the digital clock sitting atop the side desk and decided that he should get ready for work. Heero rose from his bed and did his usual tasks, still thinking about what had just happened. He decided that it wasn't important now and headed out the door. Heero locked the door behind him and walked toward his black Mercedes. He started the engine and thought of the errands he had to do that day. Heero got on the main road and started driving toward the Sanc Kingdom.

Sanc Kingom-Relena's Office

Relena sat at her desk, piled up with important documents. She started reading and signing the papers. After a few minutes, the phone began to ring. She picked up the phone and heard a familiar voice, it was Duo.

"Hello?"

"Hey Relena, I just wanted to say that... that... ACHOO! That I won't be able to make it to work *cough*... *cough* today." Duo said miserably.

"Oh... okay Duo, I hope you feel better by tomorrow." Relena said suspiciously.

"Thanks... ah..ah.. ACHOO! Duo said ruefully.

Relena hung up the phone gently and returned her attention toward her work.

'I know Duo was faking his cold, but I'll let him go this time...'

The Maxwell Household

Duo hung up the phone and smiled to himself.

"Heh heh, I knew those acting lessons would come in handy some day." Duo said slyly.

"Duo, who was on the phone?" Hilde asked, standing in the doorway.

Duo looked around and there in the doorway stood Hilde.

"Oh, I got a call and they said that I was off today." Duo answered.

"Oh really..." Hilde tapped her chin. "Well then since you are off today... we'll play a little game. Hilde said mischievously.

Duo's face lit up, "Really! What kind of game?"

"Oh you'll see" Hilde walked away with something on her mind.

Sanc Kingdom

Heero arrived on time and parked in his own private parking space. He got out, locked his car, and started walking toward the entrance. He opened the white double doors and walked down the hallway, making his way towards Relena's office. Heero reached the entrance of the office and knocked before going in.

Relena looked up from her work and looked to see who came in.

"Hello Heero." Relena said in a greeting tone.

"Hn. Where's Duo?" Heero asked while looking around to see that everything was safe.

"Oh he said that he couldn't come to work today." Relena said, while trying to sign just one more paper. "But, I think Trowa will fill in Duo's spot."

"Don't tell me you fell for his fake sickness act." Heero said.

"No, but I just let him go this time." Relena answered back.

After she signed the last document, she started to place the compositions in her briefcase. Heero took out his cell phone and informed the limo to be ready in 15 minutes. Relena organized her desk and then headed out the door with Heero leading the way.

Heero then noticed that Relena stopped walking. He turned around to see her concerned face.

"Relena, is something on your mind?" Heero said calmly.

"Heero, could it be possible that your dream is not a dream at all? Everything you touch is so real and when you get an injury, you feel the pain?" Relena closed her eyes, remembering last night.

Heero heard what she said, and thought about his dream.

"I had a dream like that, it was so real... it's like my past replayed. I was walking down the sidewalk and I stopped near the beach to look at the scenery. And there I found----" Relena broke off.

Relena came back from her own little world and found Heero's expression questioning.

"Heero?" Relena asked, edging toward him.

Heero broke away from his thoughts and decided that this should continue later.

"Relena we will talk about this later." Heero stated.

"All right." Relena said agreeing.

Heero and Relena headed out the double doors and walked toward the awaiting limo. Trowa was in the car behind the vehicle also waiting for Heero and Relena. Heero thought about the question Relena asked him and his head started to ache again. When they reached the black limo, Heero opened the door for Relena.

"Pagen, please take us to the airport. I will arrive back here at 9:30 tonight." Relena said.

"Yes, Miss Relena." Pagen did a quick nod and looked back at the road ahead of him.

Heero got inside and closed the car door. Pagen locked the doors and drove off toward the airport, with Trowa right behind them.

HHey! So whaddya think? Please give any suggestions or corrections! Bye for now! --Blaktiger9
