Unforgotten Memories
Chapter 3
By Blaktiger 9

The black limo sped through the streets and arrived at the busy airport. The long vehicle parked and the chauffeur opened the door for the Vice Foreign Minister.

"Thank you, remember that I arrive back here at 9:30 p.m. tonight." Relena politely informed.

The driver nodded and closed the door. Heero got out by himself and escorted Relena to her private shuttle. As they entered the airport, many reporters crowded Relena and asked her questions. Heero of course, pushed them and sometimes punched the reporters so they would get out of the way. They finally got inside and prepared for the exciting launch off to space.

~*In Space*~

Relena sat in her seat with Heero at her side and outer space at the other. She looked out the window and found many shooting stars. Relena remembered the time her father told her not to forget about how the earth looks from afar. Relena shed a tear, but quickly wiped it away. She then looked at Heero and saw that he was not busy with anything. She seized this moment to tell him about her dream.

"Heero? I need to ask you something. The dream I was telling you before we left earth, was about--" Relena cut off.

The vid-phone came on and there on the screen was Lady Une.

"Hello Miss Relena. I just wanted to go over the papers I sent you, if your not to busy that is." Lady Une said.

"Oh not at all." Relena said politely.

Relena smiled sweetly and opened her black briefcase. She pushed papers from one side to another searching for the needed documents. While Relena was busy rummaging through the papers, Lady Une looked at Heero.

"Hello Heero. I expect Relena here on time and unharmed. Since Maxwell did not come today, Trowa Barton is the replacement." Lady Une said in her business tone.

"I have already confirmed that." Heero answered.

Lady Une turned back to Relena and saw that she found the papers. Relena then started to go over them with Lady Une.

~*Colony X-18999*~

After the long conversation, the shuttle started to land at Colony X-18999. Relena closed her briefcase and looked at Heero. His expression held a question.

"Heero? Is there something on your mind?" Relena asked.

"Huh?" Heero said, when he came back from his thoughts. "Nothing's on my mind."

Relena turned back to see that they have landed. Heero stood up and let Relena lead the way this time. They walked down the walkway and exited the private shuttle. As they descended the flight of stairs, reporters started rushing toward them like an angry mob. Relena walked at a fast pace with Heero behind her and Trowa in front. She then reached another important leader and exchanged greetings. They then decided to head to where the meeting was held. They made their way toward the back exit where another limo awaited. The four got inside the silver limo and started driving to Preventers Headquarters.

~*Back at the Peacecraft Mansion*~



The long meeting was finally over, leaving Relena exhausted. She and Heero walked back into the mansion and relaxed in the elegant living room. They both sat down on the velvet, red couch in front of the fireplace.

"Heero?" Relena asked softly, "You know when I asked you that question before we left for the colonies?"

"Yea."

"Well I have been having those dreams lately, and..." Relena stopped when Pagen entered the room.

"I am sorry to bother you Miss Relena. Miss Lucrezia Noin is on the phone and she would like to discuss about the next project that is forming."

"Oh... Well then I guess this conversation will continue later. Heero, will you join me in the garden later? In... 30 minutes?" Relena asked.

Heero agreed with a nod and stood to follow Relena back to her office. She rose from the couch and started walking, phone in hand.

~*1 Hour Later*~

Heero sat on the wooden bench, waiting for Relena to come by.

"Heero...?"

"Hn?"

"Sorry, I was a bit delayed. I had another phone call to attend to." Relena sat next to him silently. "Now that I think about my question, I don't think it would be that important. But I do just like sitting here in the garden with you at my side."

Relena scooted a little closer to Heero and hesitated for a moment.

Heero half relaxed and half tensed when Relena moved closer to him. He changed positions to relax a little more. Relena giggled inside to see that the Perfect Soldier was actually nervous about being alone with her.

Relena's heart was pounding and looked at the moonlit sky to calm herself. She shivered as the cold wind calmly blew passed her. Heero noticed Relena shivering and wrapped his jacket around her.

"Heero... thanks." Relena pulled his jacket closer. "It is a nice night, it's just a bit cold." Relena said, trying to make a conversation. "Hmm... Heero have you ever gone to the middle of the garden before?"

"No, actually I never have been in this garden before." Heero replied.

Relena stood up and grabbed his hand.

"Come on, I'll lead you there. It's a really beautiful part of the garden." Relena said

Heero got up and started to follow her through the maze. There were so many turns it was impossible to know the right way to the middle.

"Relena, we can only stay for awhile. It's getting colder and it's late." Heero said while they kept walking.

"I know, I just want you to see it. At night, it looks like the flowers are glistening when the moonlight shines on them. You'll like it, trust me."

They finally reached the middle of the rose garden.

"Well, what do you think Heero?" Relena asked.

The garden was filled with any kind of flower and of any color. The moonlight shone on the recently watered flowers, making them shimmer in the night. In the center, there was a lovely fountain with a swan that spouted water from its beak. They both walked around a bit and made their way around the garden.

"Oh, Forget-me-nots. They're beautiful. Relena said, gently touching it with her finger.

"They mean Memories" Heero said.

They both gazed at the bluish-lavender bush. It rustled as the wind blew past it. Relena shivered and pulled the jacket closer to her.

"I think we should get going now. I don't want Pagen to worry." Relena said.

Heero and Relena made their way back out of the maze and back to the Peacecraft Mansion. As soon as Relena opened the door, her face met Pagan's worried face.

"Miss Relena! I'm so glad you're here. I thought you were kidnapped!" Pagan said in his relieved voice. "Well since you're safe and all right, do you need anything?"

"No thank you Pagan. I'm sorry I made you worry so much." Relena replied.

"It's quite all right. I'll be in my bedroom now." And with that, he left to go to bed.

Heero followed Relena upstairs and to her bedroom door. After they said their goodnights, Heero pulled something out of his pocket.

"Here." Heero held out the Forget-me-not from the garden and gave it to Relena.

"Hm? Oh... Thank you." Relena smiled and looked down at the lavender flowers. "Heero...?"

As she looked back up again, he was already walking back to his own bedroom. "Oh well." Relena closed the door behind her and set the flowers on her desk next to her teddy bear. She changed into her nightgown and laid Heero's jacket on her chair. She climbed into her bed, pulled the covers closer to her, and soon fell asleep.
