Chapter 4 The Prince

3 days later: day of the ball

The entire Peacecraft Mansion was in chaos. Flowers, decorations, food. Everyone going everywhere. There was almost no time left to prepare. The prince was coming in a few hours and preparations were underway. The ball as to be grand where Relena made a double door entrance. She was to meet the prince soon so Relena's own was in chaos. Plucking, washing, and tucking. It seemed to never end.

Soon enough it was time to meet the Prince of Kilsa. As his limo came down the path everyone was in a rush to get to their places.

The boys were currently on each side of the front doors. In complete Preventer uniforms ready for anything. From weapons to walkie-talkies they were set.

The girls, who would accompany Relena, where getting ready also. All five in complete Victorian style dresses. Everyone was ready.

Prince Adray looked out of his window to see the Peacecraft Mansion getting closer. Smiling to himself he looked at the picture in his hands. Laughing, he thought he had finally had outwitted them all. As a reward the one thing he wanted.

Relena Peacecraft.

Stepping in to the house, Prince Adray was immediately led in to the main hall to wait the arrival of his bothered. Everyone had already labeled him as ''smuck.'' The doors opened and Relena, with the four other, entered the room. Adray was pleased at Relena's looks. Happy that this had all worked out for him. He began to smile a smile that reached his eyes.

Relena, as she descended down the stairs, took in the sight of her bothered. He wore his royal attire. He had black hair with brown eyes and was the same height as her. She saw Heero right behind him. Instead of crying she thought of an idea. Thinking of it, she started to smile and her eyes got back there sparkle.

Heero, seeing Relena's smile, became angry and realized that he could shoot this bastard. He was right in front of him, but his hands fell slack as Relena began to move…slowly. His throat went dry and his mind went blank when Relena stopped right in front of Adray. The others dragged him to the opposite wall to give the couple some room.

Relena was ready; she knew what she had to do. She had a mission, and had a plan to complete it. She stepped in front of him.

''Prince…'' she had a question in her voice and it brought back the fact that she didn't even know the man she was marring.

''Adray my fair princess,'' he bowed and stepped closer and placed a hand on her waist.

''Well Prince Adray,'' she stepped closer and saw Heero's eyes widen from the side of her eye,'' I've been waiting…,'' she raised her knee and put her face closer,''…to do this.'' With that she hit him in the groin with all the force her petite frame possessed.

''Ahhh…,'' he managed to choke out as he held himself and feel to his knees.

''Well, well, well…I didn't think you would do that Relena,'' Dorothy managed from behind her laughter.

Duo tried, oh he tried but e couldn't hold it, he laughed until tears ran down his cheeks. Wufei, who wasn't ranting about injustice for once, was laughing and leaning on the wall for support. Quatre, being to polite to laugh in front of them, left the room through the door right next to him. But as soon as it closed they could hear his full blown laughter. Trowa and Heero didn't do anything, trying as hard as they could to stay that way.

The maids and servants had to control their laughter. They didn't think Miss Relena would do that. Adray's bodyguards took Adray, who had gotten up, and led him to his room. He limped out of the room.

''Ohhhh that's it,'' Dorothy had finally controlled her laughter,'' I'm taking you shopping all on me…all of you,' she looked at the other 3 girls.

''Ok, let's go change,'' Relena started out the room but than looked towards the guys,'' You guys are coming to.'' And with that she closed the door.

Duo, who had stopped laughing, looked up and said two words,'' Oh hell.''

In Relena's room

''So that's the plan, you guys…err girls ready?'' Hilde asked as she handed out identical mouth and ear pieces.

''Yup, besides with these cool little walkie-talkies we'll be able to keep in contact,'' Catherine reassured her. They all started to laugh.

This was going to be fun.

The mall was crowed, the boys noted this dryly. Up ahead the girls were talking about ways to go through with their plan. To them the crowd just helped them.

Once they got near the main door, they through away their purses and put their ear and mouth pieces on. Three...almost there…two…the door…one.

''BREAK!''

With that the girls separated and ran in to 5 different directions.

''Ohhhh shit man,'' Duo began to run after them.'' Hilde's mine.''

Heero began to run north,'' Relena's mine,'' he commanded in his monotone voice.

''I've got Sally,'' Wufei replied and took off.

Trowa and Quatre were left. Quatre decided to take Dorothy. Seeing as he was the only one who could control her. (A/N: -wink, wink) And Trowa took Catherine.

''Sweet-heart…come in sweet-heart,'' Dorothy was currently trying to get a hold of Relena.

''Ok, everybody are you all here?'' Relena a.k.a. sweet-heart replied.

''Rodger this is fighter.''(Dorothy)

''I'm here sweet-heart this is crazy.''(Hilde)

''Okay this is knives.''(Catherine)

''And last but not least this is doc.'' (Sally)

They all heard some shuffling and than Relena's voice came in,'' Ok, so we all know who is coming after who I want everybody on the look out…oh shit fighter…I repeat fighter get the hell out if there!''

Everyone was in position. The guys were closing in, they only had one choice. To regroup, discuss, and avoid. They decided to meet up at Hot Tropic.

''So,'' Relena decided to speak up,'' we're going to get out of here one by one.''

Relena went beside the door and looked out carefully.

''Ok ...Alpha team, go, go, go!''

One by one they all ran out and one by one they were all caught, but…one.

''Ummmmmmm you guys where are Heero and Relena?''

''Oh shit man,'' Duo answered.

''Relena do you want to marry him?'' Heero sounded just as always. Monotone to the end. She hated that.

''I really don't want to.''

''Good.''

At that she looked up. Heero was looking at her with a strange expression like…

''Why?'' She just had to know what did that mean, was it good… or bad.

He looked at her for a long moment and just got up and left. She was hurt, the tears filled up in her eyes. But soon enough she was home with the others getting ready for the ball.

Relena felt like a doll, a living breathing doll. She had been plucked, tucked, and everything you could think of. The dress was so tight she thought she couldn't breathe. The dress was beautiful. She had to admit that. It was a pale red like a faded rose, had a plunging neckline. ''Compliments of Duo,'' she thought. It went down to the floor and had no sleeves.

''Well I guess I had better face the sharks,'' she muttered to herself as she looked into the mirror.

2 hours later

Dancing again Relena felt that her feet would fall of. Bending down to sit and rest she noticed a rip in her dress. Knowing danger when she saw it, she planned to sneak out in order to change dresses.

Heero however was not aware of this. So when Relena seemed to disappear he activated the tracer that was in her earring that night. Following the signal he realized that it was leading him to Relena's room he quickened his pace. Fearing that the prince, who had been eyeing her like a piece of meat, had her he knocked down the door by throwing his whole body in to it.

But when he looked around the room he realized that Relena wasn't hurt or being held captive. She had just finished taking off her dress and only had her underwear on. Heero felt his face heat up to the point of exploding.

Relena however was mortified. She was next to naked! Her anger began to reach its peak.

''Heero,'' she began to reach for the clock next to her.

''Wait, Relena.'' Was all Heero got out before he had to grab the now broken door for protection against the wave of things that were aimed for him.

''Heero, man there you are?'' Duo shouted as he finally found Heero. He raised an eyebrow though at the noise or thumping that was banging against the door Heero was leaning on.

''Man what is Relena doing in there?'' he questioned and shot a look at Heero who's face was red.

''HEERO YOU'LL PAY FOR BARGING IN ON ME NAKED!'' she shouted but not loud enough for everyone down stairs to hear her.

''YOU SAW HER NAKED!'' Duo's voice however carried down stairs.

Milliardo, who had heard became in raged.

''Yuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyyyyy.''

''I DIDN'T DO IT!''

''HEERO YUY FIX MY DOOR!''

And that was the end of the ball, but no one realized that the prince had watched it all.

And he wasn't very pleased.

As she climbed in to bed that night she kept thinking about Heero's expression like…

She couldn't think of it. She had seen it in him before.

like…

Right after they met. He always had it in his eyes when he looked at her. She just thought it was a part of him. She closed her eyes.

Like...a promise of…

Her eyes snapped open.

…love.
