Chapter nine:

Relena woke up sort of groggily. "Ugh. Hil- She's not here. She must have gotten up already. Huh? Oh, Heero's jacket," she whispered to herself and smiled. "I better get up and return it." She crawled out of bed and dressed quickly. She opened the door to see if anyone was out there. The coast was clear, so she took off for Heero's office.


There was a knock on the door. 'I wonder who that is,' Heero thought as he got up and answered the door. "Relena come in."

"Thanks," she said as she walked in. "I thought I'd bring your jacket back."

"Oh. Thank you."

"You're welcome. Umm…"

"Well, we're almost at the Winner Estate."

"Oh. That's good, I guess. Where do you want to go after you're finished with the Winner Estate?"

"I don't know. Where do you want to go?"

"You're actually asking me?"

"Uhh, yeah. Who else would I be asking?"

"I'm sorry; it's just that everybody else is always making my decisions for me. I'm not really used to this."

"Well, as long as you're here, we can go just about any place you want to go."

Her face brightened. "Oh, thank you Heero, thank you!" She exclaimed as she hugged him. He was taken aback at first, but then slowly wrapped his arms around her in return.

They were like that for a few minutes before he interrupted it. "I uh- uh, I uh have to get back to work. I um, need to finish the rest of the preparations. Sorry."

"Oh, uh, that's okay. I'll just take a walk around, find Hilde or something. I'll see you later Heero."

He nodded in response. 'I'm so sorry Relena. I don't even deserve you. Why do you even bother with me? After this is over, I promise I'll spend more time with you. Now these plans. If we just snuck around through there then…'


Several hours later, someone shouted, "Land ho!" All the men took their positions, except for one, Trowa.

"Trowa! Why aren't you positioned and armed?"

"I request to stay behind Captain."

"What for?"

"I've known the son since we were kids-"

"Very well, Take care of the girls then."

"Yes sir!"

Cannon fire started to go off. When they reached the land, everyone started yelling. They rushed out not really caring who was in the way. All of the women were screaming and running around, scared out of their minds.

'Found him!' "On your feet Winner!" Heero barked. He hesitated at first. "You're coming with us. Now move it!"

"Only if you promise to leave my fiancé out of this." Heero looked at a young lady with very long blonde hair and nodded.

"What! Quatre! You can't let them take you! If you're going, I'm going and that's final!"

"Dorothy No! Stay here!"

"I don't care what you say. I'm going with you!"

"Let the Lady come Quatre. I'm sure she could be of some company to the two Ladies on board the ship." Dorothy's face instantly drained.
