Untitled (GW) by Ali 

The country was a place where people went to relax, to escape, to just 
get away from the dizzingly fast pace of the cities.  Even peace on 
Earth couldn't stop deadlines from coming, paper work a mile high and 
pressure to come up with the next most innovative invention in the 
history of mankind.  The country was calm and quiet.  It was just there 
for people to sit down and watch the world go by.  It was amazing how 
wonderful doing absolutely nothing for hours could be.  A person could 
honestly just lie on the grass, create figures from clouds and listen 
to...well, listen to nature.  

However, for the same amount of time for a human heart to beat twice, 
all the peace and quiet were shattered.  The slow humm that could be 
heard faintly at first crescendoed to a loud, almost-deafening roar and 
the world seemed to stop.  It was the shattering of the peace that was 
brought on by the one who was able to bring it to mankind in the first 
place; Relena Darlian, former princess of the Cinq Kingdom, former Queen 
of the World...present day Vice Foreign Minister.  She came and then, 
went almost quickly as she had arrived.  Of course, it wasn't her that 
did the shattering but she certainly was the cause of it...her and the 
sleek, red sports car with black tinted windows.  

The normally serene Vice Foreign Minister could not have been recognized 
and even if there were witnesses, they would certainly not believe their 
own eyes.  However, it was Relena, nonetheless.  Driving was something 
that was hers alone and was her little secret.  Sometimes, driving 
helped her think but it was more on the fact that she just liked it.  
She enjoyed the rush she felt as she shifted gears and let her car 
practically tear up the country roads.  She was 19 but she never had the 
chance to live the seemingly care-free life her old classmates were 
lucky enough to enjoy.  

Pagan still, of course, drove her around (especially to the political 
functions) but as soon as Pagan had taught her to drive, Relena finally 
found something she really enjoyed that was not a part of her busy life.  
He had taught her all the tricks, all the important skills of a driver 
that also took on the role of a bodyguard as he did for her and Relena 
knew that he taught her well.  

Usually, she would not go at such a high velocity but when she was sure 
she was all alone, though she doubt she ever was, she would just let go 
and let the car almost guide her along the road.  Looking at the time, 
she noticed that she had to be home in an hour or Pagan and maybe, Noin 
or Zechs, if they decided to do their ritual weekly calls, would be 
worried.  Sighing a little, she turned left on the next corner and drove 
towards home.    

As the mansion came into view, Relena began to slow the car down but 
before she was even on her street, her phone began to ring.  Keeping her 
eyes on the road, she leaned forward and pressed the call button.  

"Hello?" she said softly, making sure the call would not distract her.  
If there was one thing she didn't like, it was talking on the phone 
while driving.  Her car was equipped with the small speaker system 
allowing her hands to be free but the phone was _still_ a distraction.  

"Don't turn onto your street."  

She immediately slowed down.  "What?" she said, giving the phone a 
little more attention, "Who is this?"  

"Don't ask any questions, turn right on the street that you're about to 
approach and drive all the way up the hill until you reach a small 
park."  

Then, there was a clicking sound and Relena saw the fast approaching 
street.  Logic would have told her not to follow the instructions but 
her instinct told her to trust the mysterious voice.  It was vaguely 
familiar and she decidedly followed the person's instructions.  

As she pulled up to the park there was another car waiting for her.  
When she came to a complete stop, the passenger door opened and a young 
man, her age, stepped out of the car and turned to face her.  

Her eyes widened with recognition and she almost threw herself out of 
the car.  

"Duo!" she cried and gave the 'big lug' as she liked to put it, a big 
hug.  

"I knew I recognized your voice.  It's so good to see you!  How have you 
been?  Where's Hilde?"  

Duo returned the hug and with his wide grin, replied, "All in good time" 
and then his face turned a little more serious.  "But for now, we have 
some more..."

"Urging matters to attend."  

Relena slowly turned towards the driver of the car who had just came 
out.  He was taller but his unmistakeable lean figure and unruly hair 
showed that he had not changed a lot.  She thought she had forgotten him 
or at least wished she could but his presence still struck her to the 
very core as it always did.  Even if she was able to forget, the sight 
of him was enough to make all the memories rush back to her.  

"Heero?"  Her voice a little shaky that she had wanted it to be.  "Is 
that you?"  

She was given a nod in return and the prussian blue eyes stared back at 
her.
