Relena looked out of her bedroom's window. Heero used to sit on her balcony, gazing at her, protecting her at night. A guardian angel in the dark. She opened the door and went out. The night's air was fresh and cool and it blew her long, honey blonde hair back like silk threads.
Dinner earlier that evening was a disaster. It almost seem like a funeral. All the 4 ex-Gundam pilots were silent, so were Milliardo. Even though their partners tried to open them up from time to time, they'd only receive a nod, a head shake or a shrug or they simply zone out. Not a word came from their mouth ever since Heero jumped off the balcony. Not even Duo and Quatre. It simply ended when the men excused themselves to retire to bed and their partners, knowing better than to just leave them, followed. Leaving Relena, Zeimer, Mariemaia, Noin (Lucy), Une and Zechs.
Relena sighed and looked at the sky. She saw 2 shooting stars. 4 years ago, she saw him in the sky for the very first time and since then, they've went through a lot together. She was all head over heels for him but, time has taken its toll and her fragile heart simply just can't take it anymore. If she keeps on hoping like a little girl hoping for Santa to come and give her a present, she'll only end up wasting her time. She couldn't possibly do that for nothing, no way! But, she does still have feelings for Heero. One thing she's been trying to demolish completely ever since a year ago.
"Why does this have to happen to me...?" she sighed out loud as tears slowly formed in her eyes. "Why... Heero?" she asked to the sky and pictured the fun times they were together during war. Suddenly, she felt someone else's presence and turned to see Zeimer looking at her at the balcony door. "Zeimer..." she wiped away the lone tear in her eyes.
"Relena..." he started but didn't move. "Excuse me." He said and headed for the door. Relena saw his retreating figure and raced to him.
"Zeimer, wait." She said and grabbed his wrist. "Please stay." She pleaded. "First, Heero, then my best friends, now, you? Everybody hates me now but, please, I can't have you to leave me, please, Zeimer...?" She pleaded, eye glistening with sadness and loneliness. Zeimer turned and held her cheeks with both his hands, rubbing away the tears with his thumbs.
"I'm so sorry that it turned out like this." He stated. "Should I know I will cause all this, I won't have come here and..."
"Sh..." She placed a finger on his lips. "No more. Just stay with me." she said and replaced her finger with her lips. Zeimer returned the kiss and slowly ran his hand up and down her back. Suddenly, as his hands went lower, she stopped and pulled away. "I'm sorry." She breathed and walked a few spaces away from him. "This is happening too fast. I don't think..." Zeimer looked at her but said nothing.
"I understand, Lena. He who holds your heart is still him, I can't compete with that. I don't stand a chance against the perfect soldier." He looked away.
Relena smiled. "Give me time and I'll be sure to change that. But, for now, good night, Zeimer."
"Sweet dreams, beautiful." He blew her a kiss and went out. Outside, he was met by Zechs. "Milliardo. Her heart is still confused." He sighed and shook his head. "And I thought I can help her."
"Don't worry. I'll catch that guy no matter what. I never liked him anyway. But, you know, Relena..." he explained. Zeimer just chuckled.
"Oh, by the way, Milliardo, how's the foundation money doing?" he asked.
*****************************************************
In the old laboratory, where Hera lived in, Heero was at work, typing away ferociously. Hera walked in and brought some CDs. "Here." She said but didn't get any reply except for more typing. "Father."
"What." Heero growled.
"Nothing, just a roll call." She replied sarcastically, earning a death glare from Heero. He returned to his work. "I may not be a mind reader but I do know what you're thinking about. I told you not to get your emotions get the better of you." she tilted her head slightly and waited for a response.
Heero paused from his typing for a bit and then turned to her. "Are you done? I still have a lot of things to do." Heero suddenly said. Hera didn't even budge but neither did she stop. She stared at him intensely.
"You are clouded by emotions. It is controlling you." She inserted the CD in her hand into the CPU to the PC Heero was using. Heero didn't put the datas on the monitor. "Stop it. I have done a thorough research to Zeimer Wargon. You'll find nothing more about him anywhere." Heero continued typing away. She was about to bend down to pull the PC's cables when a gun clicked at the side of her forehead and with lightning fast speed, another click arrived on Heero's forehead. Hera slowly stood up and backed a few steps away, still pointing the gun at Heero, vice versa.
They were both silent for 10 whole minutes before sighing and putting down their guns simultaneously. Heero sighed again. "Sorry." He said, tucking his gun back.
"I'm sorry too. That Relena must have been a big part of you, huh?" she asked. Heero said nothing but stood up and walked to the door. "Where are you going?" The door shut and she was left alone in the control room. She turned and went to see the monitor, at what Heero was working at. She saw numerous securities which have been 'lock-picked' and disabled by Heero. 'Preventor's HQ? Why'd he want to go there?' she thought to herself.
At the Preventor's HQ, Lady Une sat alone in her office, a stack of maps and a couple of computers surrounding her. 'If Heero was responsible for the riot, there has to be a reason to it. But, where can there be for a place of rebels?' A knock on the door came. "Come in. Une answered.
A soldier walked in. "Ma'am." He saluted. Une looked at the soldier.
"Yes? Any reports that I must know?" She returned to look down on the maps and papers.
"Yes, there is." A frighteningly familiar voice answered her. Her head snapped up to see the soldier take off his hat.
"Heero! How... never mind." She said, startled. She was wondering how on earth did he get in there, a reflex question to any ordinary people but, she suddenly remembered he wasn't just any 'ordinary people'. "What brought you here? Planning to take me hostage?" she asked.
"I've come to warn you."
"Ooh, a threat. Let's hear it." She mocked, putting her hand under her chin.
He smirked. "I'm not a terrorist. I did what I did for a reason. Aside from that, I need your cooperation."
"So, what else is new?" she looked down at the papers and held out a stack to show him. "Why do you think would I be doing here this late if not to investigate the cause of your 'riot'?"
"Listen, the preventors are responsible to stop battles from happening but it seems that these days, you all are taking your jobs too lightly." Heero said, slightly raising his voice.
"We are taking our jobs too lightly? I think you haven't been reading the news lately. We have successfully stopped any possible riots as well as wars from happening since 3 years ago up until now. And you still say we are taking our jobs too lightly?" she raised her voice.
Heero continued to listen with his arms crossed. "Are you done? I'm not done talking yet." Heero muttered. "The 'wars' you stopped were nothing. I'll bet you didn't realise that mobile suits are being manufactured right now." Une's ears perked up.
"What? That's impossible. We have checked every nook and cranny. And we do it quite frequently for the past years. There's no way ANYBODY can make suits without us knowing. Besides, all metallic, Ivorian or even Gundanium alloys are strictly monitored by Quatre, Zechs and myself. Noin has been running radar search, heat search, everything. You must have been mistaken." Heero raised his eyebrows.
"You're saying I'm lying?"
She looked at him and sighed. "All right, so you said that Mobile Suits are being manufactured, exactly, where?" she asked in a mocking tone. "And who is behind it? Have you found any clues as of yet and have you any evidence of any sort?"
Heero was quiet for a minute before answering. "It's not in the colonies nor on earth. It is in Galaxy 2, a few lightyears away from here, Galaxy Alpha." He answered. Une had a 'you're joking, right?' look but Heero kept on anyway. "And the man responsible is Zeimer Wargon. His financial company rose recently and upon more investigation,..." Une held up her hand and stood up.
"That's enough, Heero. I understand now." She said. Heero had a questioning look. She sighed. "Heero, it's only normal if you place false accusations on him because of your jealousy." Heero rolled his eyes. "I know you secretly do love Relena deeply but, putting revenge on her by striking on Zeimer is not the way. I'm sorry but, all I can see here is that your actions are based on your confused mind. Guards!" She called. "I'm sorry, Heero but, you're now under arrest for charges of rebelling and for mental disturbances." The guards called didn't come in. "I should have known..." she shook her head. "You found the secret security too, huh?"
"Lady Une, if you do not agree on assisting me, then I have to do this on my own." Heero turned to leave.
"I'm only trying to keep you safe by putting you in, Heero. Both Zechs and I are trying to help you." Heero looked at her, hand on the door handle. "With you roaming about causing riots, you'll only make things harder for us and yourself."
"Then let me just tell you this Une, I don't need your help and I'm not crazy." He went, leaving Une alone. She slumped on her seat.
'This is crazy..." She said to nobody in particular. "Hm?" From the corner of her eye, she saw a big, stuffed sack. She took out an explosive detector from her drawer and inspected the bag. 0%. 'How did this thing get here?' she thought. She opened the sack slightly and saw a lot of presents in it. All had a simple writing of their names on it. She recognized it as Heero's handwriting. She took out a parcel with her name and tore it open.
Inside was a beautiful watch with diamonds around the numbers and was white gold. 'Good taste.' She thought. 'Never thought Heero can shop.' She looked at the other parcels. 'I better deliver these as well then... Thank you, Heero.' She took her car keys and the sack before going off.
Heero returned to the laboratory. Hera was at the computer, drinking a can of carbonated drink. Heero past her chamber and walked to his when she suddenly said, "Zeimer Wargon will appear with Relena Peacecraft in the charity rising of promoting peace in L2." She turned her head to the door. "There'll be a carnival. How about it?" she asked. An annoyed sigh replied her. She smiled slightly. "I think so too." She said before turning to the PC. "I wonder how the Mobile Suits are...?"
