There are two ways to spread the light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it. -Edith Wharton

Switching places.

That Friday…

Relena had told her secretary Viola that she was going out for lunch. Of course she wasn't allowed to go alone and Duo came along with her. After they had ordered she excused herself and went to the bathroom.

She entered the bathroom. A redhead was fixing her make up. She looked closer at the woman however it couldn't be her sister. She was too short. However, as soon as the woman exited the door of the bathroom behind her opened. For a moment Relena couldn't move, it was as if she were looking into a mirror. "Kat?"

Kat merely grinned and tossed her a bag. "Time to switch clothes too Lena." Kat put Relena's business suit on and Relena put the black hooded jacket on and a pair of jeans. Kat helped her put on the black wig and gave her the brown contacts.

"You should get going Kat or Duo is going to come looking for me."

Kat raised an eyebrow. "You took Duo to lunch? And here I thought you liked Heero. He is rather cute though."

Relena blushed. "Duo is a good friend and he is already involved. Besides Heero is not exactly around to take me anywhere, not that he would if he were." A wistful look came into her eyes.

"Sis, that guy's a fool if he can't see what you have to offer. Duo's already involved? Oh yeah, with that Hilde, I read about that in the file."

Relena frowned. "What file?"

"Nothing, just some research. Look, take this vacation and relax, just leave everything for what it is, I'll handle whatever comes my way."

Relena gazed at her twin, she still had her doubts about that file but decided to drop it. "Are you sure?"

"Positive. You can worry about him and everything else when you get back. Now D's waiting for you outside. Give it a rest and take care but remember to have fun as well." Kat gave her a stern look before rolling her eyes.

Relena couldn't help but laugh. "Bye Kat."

"Bye Lena, see you in a month or so."

"Oh and Kat?"

Kat turned to look at her once more.

"Be nice to Milliardo."

Kat growled. "I'm going to have to be now am I not? Just don't expect me to hug him because then the temptation to snap his neck will be far too great."

Relena shook her head. She knew that he had hurt Kat, but she knew that Kat still cared enough for her brother. She wouldn't kill him, for now. Sometimes she wondered what it would have been like if Kat would have been his only sister. She smiled sadly. "Just be careful and take care, okay Kat?"

Kat nodded. "Only if you do too."

Relena covered her head with the hood and went out first. Kat stared at her reflection in the mirror for a second. She replaced her glare with a kind smile, sighed deeply and headed outside as well.

Duo was getting restless. She had been gone for over ten minutes, what if something had happened? Heero was going to kill him. Then he saw her and he sighed in relief. "There you are princess; you had me worried there for a sec."

Kat smiled at him. "I am truly sorry Duo, it is just that time of the month."

Duo turned red. "It's okay princess, I'm just glad you're not like Hilde when it's that time. I mean…"

Kat giggled and Duo flashed her one of his trademark grins. "It's okay Duo, I should probably be heading back."

"What about your lunch?"

Kat looked and what Relena had ordered and almost gagged. "I am not that hungry after all. You can have it if you want Duo."

"No thanks princess, snails aren't my thing."

"They are called escargots, Duo."

"But they're snails."

Kat laughed. "Escargot is French for snail."

Duo was confused and showed it. Kat tried to contain her laughter, this guy's expression was just priceless.

"Why can't they just say it in English?"

"Because it does not sound quite as fancy." Kat winked. "Come on, we should go. I still have a lot of work waiting for me at the office."

He nodded and got up to help her out of her chair and into her coat.

"Such chivalry officer Maxwell, I see Quatre has been a good influence on you."

Duo smirked. "Allow me to escort you princess."

She smiled in return and took the arm he offered. Inside she was mentally congratulating herself. One gundam pilot down, four to go.

Relena wasn't quite as successful as her sister. She was nervous, she couldn't find D, as Kat liked to call her, anywhere. Then she spotted a navy blue Mercedes waiting in the parking lot, a familiar looking girl with long light blonde hair standing next to it.

"There you are Miss Relena. I take it you and Kat were successful?"

"Yes and It is not Miss Relena now Dorothy, please call me Lena."

The other blonde smirked. "As you wish, Lena. We should get going."

Relena got into the car and looked back only once as they drove off. "Dorothy?"

"Yes?"

"Am I doing the right thing?"

Dorothy glanced at her. Kat hadn't exactly told her what was going on but she always had her reasons. "Yes, don't tell me you're having second thoughts about this?"

Relena smirked. "I was not even allowed to have first thoughts."

Dorothy chuckled. "That does sound like the Kat I know, but have faith; she knows what she's doing."

Relena sighed and went back to staring out of the window. She slowly drifted off to sleep. Dorothy remained silent for the rest of the ride, pondering. What on earth was Kat up to this time?

Startled Relena woke up when the car stopped, only to find they had reached their destination. She gasped as she looked out over the beautiful beach. The setting sun made it glow. Then her gaze fell on a beautiful house standing perhaps 500 metres from the ocean on a hill. She couldn't help but stare in awe at the simple beauty of it all.

Dorothy had already begun taking the bags out of the trunk. "This is my old summerhouse, it hasn't been used in years and I believe it will do just fine. What do you think Relena?"

"It is amazing Dorothy."

Dorothy threw a bag at Relena which she clumsily caught. "The clothes should fit, Kat picked them out." For a moment Relena looked worried.

"Don't worry, she made sure they would be more your style." Dorothy chuckled, amused at the look that had appeared on Relena's face. She merely glanced at the sunset as they entered the house.

Dragging her feet a bit Relena followed Dorothy up the stairs.

"This will be your room."

Relena nodded and looked around. It was a simple room with a double bed and a walk-in closet, nothing too fancy. But when she went over to the window she gasped at the sight of the breathtaking view. She had a perfect view of the ocean and there was a balcony as well obviously connected with the room next door. A couple of chairs and a table stood on the balcony.

She stepped outside and slowly let out the breath she hadn't even realized she was holding as the wind played with her hair. Enjoying herself Relena pulled out one of the chairs and sat down. Relaxing into it she was in a perfect state of happiness.

The door of the room next to her opened. Dorothy came walking out; Relena mentally slapped herself she had forgotten all about Dorothy. Dorothy had a tray in her hands, as she reached the table she placed their dinner in front of them. Relena squealed in delight once she had tried it. "I never knew you could cook Dorothy. This is delicious."

Dorothy smiled. "There are more things you don't know about me."

Relena stared at her, that girl truly was an enigma, though she could never rival Heero. Immediately Relena sat up shaking her head, almost as if to get rid of the thoughts that flooded her mind. 'Kat told me not to think about him and enjoy my stay here.' With a stubborn look on her face Relena stared at the stars, Heero Yuy would no longer invade her thoughts, tonight at least.
