Busted by the Butler.
Kat woke up early the following morning. She always did have trouble sleeping in. As she got up she glanced at her alarm clock, it read 5 am. She wouldn't have to get up for another two hours.
What was she going to do in that time? Training or anything she would normally do was out of the question because that would give her away. At least there weren't any cameras in here so she could do her morning routine.
Slowly she stretched her legs and her back. Then she started with her routine. Calm and controlled she balanced her body, bending back and forth. Her arms were swaying as if branches in the wind yet with a deadly precision. Soon she had finished. She stretched once again and tried to do a couple of kicks while making as little noise as possible.
Even though she was posing as Relena, she had to keep herself in shape. She only regretted not having a boxing bag with which she could have practiced her punches better.
With a sigh she opened the curtains slightly and peeked out of the window. Dew glistened in the beautiful light of the morning sun.
She groaned, if she were to sneak outside she would have to explain how her clothes had gotten wet. It looked like she had no other option than to stay put in her room and find something with which she could kill time. The mental image of her pounding an old man with a clock came to mind and she smirked.
Then she brushed off the thought and went through the closets in order to find something to do. Her search abruptly came to an end when she discovered a white silk nightgown, if it could even be called that. Now that left little to the imagination, Lena was so going to hear of this.
Then she smirked again, this would be perfect to get back at that Heero Yuy. It was time to see for herself just how emotionless this Heero Yuy was. She stashed it away again, that would come later.
When Pagan came in at precisely 7 am to wake the princess he was quite surprised to find her already awake, reading. And she had made her own bed. Pagan raised an eyebrow ever so slightly before deciding to alert Miss Relena of his presence.
"Would you please get me some breakfast Pagan?"
Pagan smiled. "As you wish Miss Relena."
Kat glanced up at him. Inside she was fuming, cut it out with the names already. But she liked the old man so she simply replied: "Thank you Pagan."
The elderly man left and she put down the book she had been pretending to read. Moving towards the window she opened the curtains entirely and was observing the beautiful day again.
It was great weather outside and she was going to be stuck in that damn office all day. Scowling she glared at the birds chirping so cheerfully, if only she had her gun then they wouldn't be so cheerful much longer.
Dropping the glare once she sensed Pagan re-enter she said without turning around: "Could you put it down on the table Pagan?"
Pagan was confused. Miss Relena was acting very strange. How come she was suddenly so aware of his presence without him having to announce himself?
Kat sipped her tea and grimaced. Luckily Pagan could not see that for her back was facing him once again. What kind of an idiot had put sugar in her tea? Squaring her shoulders she forced herself to drink it all.
After that she realized Pagan had not yet left. "You may go Pagan."
She frowned as he left, did he suspect anything? Swiftly she stood up and followed him to the kitchen, only to collide with someone else in the process.
Nearly loosing her balance she flushed as a pair of strong arms steadied her. Looking up she thought she saw an amused look on this person's face but within the blink of an eye it was gone.
"Good morning Trowa." She said trying to ignore her childish reactions to his proximity. God, she couldn't deal with guys this hot this early in the morning.
"Good morning Relena."
That snapped her back to reality. No daydreaming allowed, besides this guy thought she was someone else. How ironic life can be…
Mumbling an apology and an excuse she quickly slipped past him and headed towards the kitchen. She had to find out whether Pagan knew or not, Relena's safety depended on it.
Pagan looked questioningly at her. "Is something the matter Miss Relena?"
She walked past him and pulled the carton of milk out of the fridge.
Frowning Pagan brushed away a couple of strands in her neck. "Miss Relena how did you get this scar?"
Kat went rigid then relaxed. "Girl scouts."
"You never went to girl scouts Miss Relena."
"Your point being? It was an accident and a long time ago."
"How come I have never seen this scar before Miss Relena?" Pagan persisted.
"And how come you are suddenly so fond of coffee when you used to love tea?"
Kat hesitated. There was no way Relena could have ever gotten a similar scar. How was she to make a story up about that? And she has always preferred coffee over tea.
Instead she gave him an icy glare.
Pagan gasped in surprise.
"You are not Miss Relena are you?"
Kat sighed. There wasn't much she could do about this now except try to contain it. If she denied it he would only investigate more and might give the others ideas. After all, why would an entrusted butler dedicated to Relena do a background check or anything similar?
"No Pagan. I am not. My name is Katrina Peacecraft. I am her twin sister."
Pagan's eyes currently resembled saucers. "I never knew Miss Relena had…"
She cut him off glancing around. "I know, other than Relena and Zechs there are only two people that know I even exist."
Pagan was still shocked.
"Listen Pagan, I trust you will not tell anyone."
"Do not worry Miss Relena… I mean Miss Katrina. You can trust me, I will keep your secret safe."
She studied him for a while.
"Good." Her eyes turned cold. "Otherwise I will be forced to kill you. And you can trust the fact that I will not hesitate to do so."
Pagan shivered. How could Relena's twin be the opposite of her?
Kat stalked off furious with herself. She should have known better than that. But she also knew she couldn't kill her sister's butler, she just hoped no one had overheard their conversation.
And where was that Barton guy anyway? She hoped he hadn't been in the vicinity. 'No, that isn't possible, he would have confronted her already. Or he's waiting until he has more proof.' The guy was a hard one to figure out, you never knew what he was up to. This was not going as planned.
Duo could have heard as well, but he would have asked her for an explanation right away. He's not the type to stay silent about something like that. Great, she was already having problems and she hadn't even met Heero and Quatre yet. She just hoped that would go okay. She was now officially having a BAD day. Pagan most certainly knew now. If she were to even see Zechs she was going to beat the living daylights out of him, just for fun.
However, she could always pick on one of those annoying guys from the office or play a prank on Duo or even better… Wu Fei. Of course she no longer had to worry about Pagan finding out. She smirked, maybe this day wouldn't be so bad after all. Time to go to work.

Now I bid you farewell… Until we meet again.
