Epilogue
Midii gazed out at the construction of the city spread before her. The repayment of the debts that the Provies had aquired was going to be troublesome when added to the funds she had had to borrow in order to accomplish something useful, but she had a good feeling that the deconstruction of the Excalibur's feild generators would go a long way toward alleviating that. She found a file located inside the system itself that had copies of all of her Father's work and research that was going a long way in the revearse engineering of new devices, one of which was already in place over the city. It looked like a giant soap bubble and it kept the interior temperature and weather at a nice balmy fifty seven degrees at all times saving the people within the dome from having to make thier own heating devices. It was the first step in a project she had been working on with Quatre Winner and the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Relena (and who would have thought that the girl had actually once ruled the entire earth!) that would aid the Mars Terraformation Project immensely. Quatre was providing the tools, scientists (and financial backing) for the Terra-domes, Relena was spearheading the terraformation Project so she was already deeply involved and quite excited about the prospects for her baby.
It wasn't perfect, but nothing ever was. She still longed for her home and for her family, but she had more than enough to keep her occupied for quite some time to come. She looked down at a picture of her and Trowa together, she was smiling and he had her arm around her. Catherine had taken it. She missed him too, everyday. There wasn't a day that went by that he did not feature in her thoughts somewhere, but that would have to keep. He had a life of his own at the circus and she would be too busy for some time to really be able to pay him the kind of attention she wanted to and that she felt he deserved. The time would come, when she was through with her responsibilities, where she could be selfish and follow her own hearts desire but for now, her people needed her.
Someday, she thought whistfully, thinking of a beautiful house all of her own in Lyons Peak with Trowa as her wonderful husband and a couple of children running wild through the woods. Someday.
