*Fairy Tale Endings: Chapter 6*

A Gundam Wing Fanfiction By Jadet

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Wufei snorted for what seemed the millionth time and reassembled the Mobil suit's main

computer. Two minutes was all it took to dismantle the suit, program an error into its

central processor, and reassemble it, but it was still too long to Wufei. In two

minutes anything could happen. He was taking a chance as it was, programming the error

into the suits during the break shift of the guards.

Grunting silently with satisfaction, Wufei replaced the computer into the last doll and

closed the hatch. That program error should make it where none of the suits could fire

any weapons and explode five minutes after take off. In other words the pilots had just

enough time to curse their machines before it blew up with them in it. He was proud of

himself. Voices alerted him to the return of the guards and Wufei melted into the

shadows, taking his laptop and equipment with him.

[Now lets see those weaklings use these toys] Wufei thought with a smirk and disappeared

into the darkness, intent on contacting the others on the new development.

The guards were none the wiser of their midnight visitor.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Relena woke up to a splitting headache. Turning on her side, she hid her head against

the pillow she was cradling and groaned slightly, confused. What on earth had she done

to get such a horrible headache?

"Is she awake yet?"

Stilling her motions, Relena cocked her ears at the familiar voice. That was Duo's

voice that asked someone else if she was awake. Now she was really confused. She

vaguely remembered him showing up on her doorstep about a week ago, saying something

along the lines of Hilde kicking him out for a few days and could he stay with her? It

struck her as slightly weird. Hilde and him lived on L2, why would he come all the way

to earth to stay with her when he had other friends closer? But Relena was never one to

refuse a friend anything she could provide and had let him stay. Besides with the ice

queen and daughter staying with her, she needed an ally besides Caleb.

That still didn't explain why she had woken up with such a headache or why he was in her

room inquiring about her. What had she done that she couldn't remember? Frowning

lightly she searched her brain for anything and was completely taken surprise by the

answering response from her bedside.

"No."

Relena froze, her body going taunt. She stopped breathing as well and listened to her

heart frantically beating. No, it couldn't be... it just couldn't! Softly she felt a

hand brush away a few tears that had leaked out of her eyes without her notice then move

to stroke her hair.

"Relena?" A deep voice whispered, the hand continuing to stroke her hair. No words

could move beyond the blockage in her throat. The hand continued its gentle stroking.

The action was so familiar and strange at the same time that more tears leaked from her

eyes.

"Hey Heero, she just wake up?"

[Heero? No, that was impossible. Totally impossible...] Her heart thudded even louder

against her chest and without her notice she shook her head lightly, biting her lip

between her teeth. He couldn't be here. He died almost two years ago in a battle. He

left her all alone to the wolves of politics with only a child to remind her that she

hadn't been imagining him that night!

The hand stilled on her hair and slowly withdrew. "No, she's just dreaming," came the

denial and Relena guessed the voice must have seen her head shake in denial.

"Okay man. You think you could watch the kid? Trowa and I are gonna go get some of her

stuff from the mansion."

"Hn."

The warm presence by her side shifted and moved away from her. Relena stayed where she

was, pushing down the instinct to follow the deep voice she heard only in her dreams.

Laying as still as she could she waited until both pairs of footsteps retreated from the

room and the door close behind them before she opened her eyes.

Relena leaned up and stared around her, heart pounding in her chest. It looked like a

hotel room she was lying in. Old but clean looking curtains covered a window just in

front of her while to her right was a small bathroom. She was lying on a queen size

bed. They must have just put her on it for she was on top of the sheets with only her

shoes off.

It took her a few minutes to gather up her courage to get up from the bed. When she did

she went straight to the bathroom and looked into the mirror. Disheveled hair framing a

pale face and wide sea green eyes stared back at her. A small looking purple bruise was

already forming on her left temple. Furrowing her eyebrows, she pushed away the golden

blond hair hiding the bruise from her. It was about the size of a quarter but growing

bigger by the minute. The longer she stared at it, the more images pressed against her

mind.

Flashes of Duo carrying groceries and getting hit from behind made her back away from

the mirror.

[That's right. We were attacked coming back from the market. Duo got hit on the back

of the head by a couple of thugs and pulled me down with him and....] Relena pressed a

hand against her mouth when the rest of that night pressed itself into her mind. [And

someone saved us.]

Eyes wide, Relena looked back into the mirror. "Heero...."

Could it really have been him? After these past couple years of nothing, thinking he

was dead, he was actually alive? When she had found out back then she thought she

wouldn't have been able to keep living. Heero was her world and she had loved him with

every fiber of her being. Though he never said the words she always knew he cared for

her. Chance after chance came to him to leave her and each time he came right back to

her, and she returned the emotions full back. So when they told her he had died she

died too, inside. If it hadn't been for Caleb she would have never lasted this long.

Relena didn't think she would be able to handle it if she was wrong and it wasn't

Heero's voice she had heard or him she had seen the night before. She didn't think she

could take the pain of disappointment. But she had to go find out.

Relena turned away from the mirror and looked towards the door at the other end of the

room. Faintly she could hear someone talking, or gurgling, outside the door. She took

a few steps, then a few more, until she was standing in front of it. Taking a deep

breath to steady suddenly jumpy nerves, she quietly turned the knob. The sight she

beheld when she opened the door made her breath catch in the back of her throat.

It really was Heero. He really was alive! Joy she thought she could never feel again

overwhelmed her and more tears brimmed in her eyes. Heero really was alive and was at

the moment pacing the room with a bundle in his arms. When he turned back to walk

towards her door again Relena recognized the bundle as her son.

Surprise flickered in her eyes. Caleb never let strangers hold him. It even took her

brother almost a year before Caleb would allow his uncle to pick him up without

screaming his head off and struggling. Relena was the only person Caleb trusted fully.

That obviously wasn't the case now. As Heero walked around the room Caleb contently sat

in his fathers arms, babbling on and on in baby talk while he played with something

around Heero's neck. On closer inspection Relena recognized that it was a chain of

some kind and what Caleb found so interesting was a ring hanging from it. More tears

filled Relena's eyes. He still had the ring she gave him from years ago. Before every

mission he went on Relena gave him that ring for protection and told him to return it as

soon as he came back. It was supposed to be an extra incentive for him to come back to

her. Relena never got back that ring from the last mission he went on.

Heero finally spotted Relena standing in the doorway to the bedroom and stopped walking

around the room. Caleb, curious why this man had stopped walking, turned his head in

the direction of where Relena was and gurgled happily but made no motion to be released

from his father's arms.

"Relena," Heero murmured, letting his usually impassive Prussian blue eyes warm. Relief

washed through him. She really was okay. Relena stood where she was, still in shock.

It was Caleb's gurgling that broke through her shock and made her walk towards them

until she stood in front of Heero.

"Heero?"

Heero didn't say anything to the unasked question but instead smirked slightly. Relena

looked from Heero to Caleb then back to Heero.

"You're alive."

The statement was a little ridiculous but Heero nodded, careful not to move Caleb.

"Yes."

The slap came out of nowhere. One minute her hands were laying limply by her side, the

next her right hand was poised in front of his face, his burning cheek a testimony of

how hard she had slapped him. Heero turned back his head from the position it had been

in because of the slap and looked back at Relena. Tears fell in streams down her face

and her eyes reflected the hurt she was feeling. No anger came from Heero however. He

had expected her to be a little hurt when she found out he had kept his presence from

her this whole time. But it had been for her own good and Heero felt no need to justify

his actions right now. He would do whatever it took to protect his family, no matter

the cost.

Relena lowered her hand back to her side. "Oh Heero..." This time Heero was ready to

catch her when she threw herself in his arms. Sobs rocked her body and she clung to

Heero's body desperately, afraid that if she let go he would disappear again. Heero's

lips twitched in what could have been a smile or maybe not but his free hand snaked

around her waist and held her close. This is what he had dreamed about for two years.

He didn't care if he had to kill that Reginald guy, no one would ever take her from him

again.

Caleb turned his head from side to side to watch both his parents. Deciding he had to

cheer up his mom a bit he reached out a pudgy hand and patted her head from his position

on Heero's arm. Relena looked up and laughed softly, reaching to take him from his

father. Once Relena had him protectively in her arms, Heero wrapped both of them in his

arms and let contentment flow over him.

They all stood like that for as long as they could for they knew it was going to be

awhile before any of them would be able to do this again.

A storm was coming and it threatened to tear everyone apart.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The man glanced up from his computer when a knock came at his door. Quickly shutting

the down program he was running, he silently closed the laptop up and hid it in a desk

drawer and locked it. Only after slipping the key into his pocket was the man ready for

company.

"Come in."

His secretary stuck her head in and saw him going through some papers. "I'm sorry sir

but someone here to see you."

The man nodded and his secretary pulled back her head. A second later a woman entered,

long blond hair billowing out from behind her. Narrowing gray blue eyes, she placed one

manicured hand on his desk, disrupting the order of the papers he was looking at. He

glared up at her but she glared right back.

"We have to talk."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly but leaned back in his chair. "Fine, talk."

Satisfied that she had his attention, the woman pulled back her hand and began stalking

around the room. "We have a problem. I can't find her or the brat anywhere. She

didn't come back last night and the kid turned up missing this morning."

Leaning forward in his chair, the man looked pensively at the woman pacing in front of

him. "What do you mean? Where could she have gone and taken the kid without you

noticing?"

"That's what I'm telling you! I don't know!" Frustrated the woman ran a hand through

her hair and stopped in front of his desk. "She left last night to get some groceries

and didn't come back. I don't know when the brat disappeared but I'm having a hard time

trying to keep this quiet!"

The man stood up and began pacing himself, a hand under his chin. "This isn't good. We

needed both her and the child to complete the plan." Suddenly the man stopped and

looked at the woman suspiciously. "Are you sure that there isn't anything else weird

about this? Did she leave with anyone last night?"

The woman considered it a minute, tapping her inch red nails against her teeth as she

thought.

"I'm not sure. I think she might have left with that man that came a week ago but he is

always coming and going without a word that I can't be sure. He was gone all last night

though and I haven't seen him this morning."

The man nodded and began pacing again. "Okay then we'll start with him. I don't have

to tell you that we need both her and the child to end this thing do I?"

She shook her head, scoffing. "Of course not. This has to work so that both of us can

get back that little bitch for what she did to our father."

"Yes, that is true." He turned away from her for a second to search through some things

in his bag. Finally finding what he was looking for, he turned back to her and handed

her the object. "Well when she comes in, put this in her drink. That should do it."

The woman took the object from him and looked at it carefully. After a minute she

smiled and nodded, starting to walk out of the room. "I understand." Abruptly she

turned back around and studied him with a critical eye. "Brother?"

He lifted his eyebrows. "What?"

"Close your zipper."

The man flushed and turned around to do as he was told.

His sister left the office with an exasperated expression on her face.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The second in command was laughing as she dialed up the number for the Commander. When

his face appeared on the screen she saluted him before grinning broadly.

"Sir I have some interesting news you might like to know."

The commander quirked an eyebrow and looked to the side. After a second he looked back

at the screen, a tired look on his face. "What is it? Report."

"It seems sir, that we have competition for the pleasure of killing Miss Relena." The

second in command laughed again at the expression on the man's face.

"What?"

"Well I have just gotten a report of a attempt on her life that we did not plan. There

have been others too that were not from our organization."

The commander raised a hand to his face and let out a breath. "Oh Allah, I do not need

this." Looking back up at his second in command the man allowed a cruel, amused smile

to flash across his face. "You have my permission to terminate the problem."

The woman smiled and saluted again. "Yes sir." Reaching over she clicked off the com

link and leaned back in her chair. It really was funny that those... -weaklings- were

trying to get rid of Relena also.

A frown flashed across her face. It was just as well however. With this recent

annoyance she did not have to report the problem of 01. Baring her teeth, the second in

command rose from her chair and walked over to the television monitors that graced the

side of the room. Pressing a few buttons, she brought up the image of the training

captain that had been responsible for 01's escape. She smiled, satisfied, as she

watched the captain scream as he was whipped again. She really should have known better

than to trust Stevens with such a task. Not everyone was up to tangling with a Gundam

Pilot.

Still this did work out to her advantage. If she knew Wing Zero's pilot like she

thought she did he would be back soon, alone. When he did come back then she could have

her fun and still leave enough for the commander. And since 01 would come here of his

own free will the commander wouldn't be angry with her for disobeying orders.

Her happy thoughts were interrupted when the building rocked from an explosion.

Clutching the monitor council until the shaking stopped, the second in command yelled

for someone to tell her what the hell was going on.

Her right hand man answered her, a small cut on his forehead bleeding. "One of the

pilots thought to test one of the Mobil suits and blew up!"

The second in command's mind raced as she considered why such a thing would happen.

When she did she narrowed her eyes dangerously. Turning to look at the boy next to her

she snapped out her orders.

"Find that stupid idiot that disobeyed my orders and see if he's still alive. And find

out what the damages are!" The boy nodded and turned to leave when she stopped him.

"Oh and Lieutenant?"

The boy turned around to look at her. "Yes maim?"

"Find the one called Chang Wufei and bring him to me, ASAP."

He bowed to her before leaving. The second in command looked after him, an unreadable

expression on her face.

[Damn you 05!]

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Wufei snarled and quickly gathered all of his possessions. It would just figure that some hard-headed idiot would have to go and test the Mobil suit before their first battle was to start.

Pounding footsteps rang from outside his door as people ran to see what had happened in

the Mobil suit hanger. Wufei ignored them all. Checking to make sure he had everything

one last time, Wufei closed his bag and ran to the door. It opened with a whoosh and

Wufei looked both ways before hurrying out of his room and into the hallway. The door

closed silently behind him.

[I must get to the shuttle before they discover the error program] Wufei thought and ran

quickly down the hallway. Except for a few stranglers headed towards the hanger no one

was around as he made his way to the shuttle bay. It wasn't until he was about to board

the shuttle he ran into resistance. Turning Wufei saw one of the higher ranking

officers pointing a gun at him from a platform.

"Chang Wufei, give yourself up immediately. If you do not I will shoot you."

Wufei smirked. "I do not give up to weaklings."

The boy frowned and clicked off the safety on his gun. Something quick flashed in the

corner of his eye. Wufei was just as fast. Shots were fired rapidly then silence. Two

bodies fell to the floor with a thud.

Again sorry this took so long. I hope it was worth the wait!!
