*364 Days Later*
(Pretty sad huh? You'd think they'd find her by now....)
Heero silently walked down the hall. They were still at the Peacecraft Mansion.
'All this time and no connections. I'm about to give up. Relena. Where the hell are you?' he thought as he walked by Sally's room. He stopped when he heard a very interesting conversation.......
"Really? I can't believe you broke up with him!" Sally said.
"Yeah, well, I caught him making out with another girl, and you know what I told him? I said,'That's the farthest you've gotten with me so far, and it's also be the farthest you'll ever get!' Then told him to a, let's not go there, let's just say I sounded like a sailor", a very familiar voice replied.
"You sure told him! And I have to say, the hair looks great! So how is everyone?"
"Well, Jess is sleeping right now, she worked all week, and I don't just mean at the bar, she's done great since she met that guy(you'll find out LATER). And if you can believe it, my friends are actually learning from me! I'm teaching Kat how to fight, Jen and Sarah how to throw bottles, and Jess and Kate how to dance! It's so wonderful! You should visit sometime!"
"Really? I could use a vacation, and New York sounds great!"
"Awesome! Visit anytime! You know my address", the voice answered.
"Great, and be careful, you know I worry."
"You'd think you'd trust me by now!"
"I know, well I'll see you in a couple of days alright?"
"Kay!"
"Bye Relena! Or should I be calling you Roxy!" Sally hung up the phone, and Heero burst in.
"You helped Relena escape. So she's in New York. Well, I guess our year of work will end, because you're gonna show us her exact location."
"Over my dead body! She'll never come back unless she's forced to, and then will she want to be Princess Peacecraft? Yeah right! Relena's happy now! Besides Zechs is leading and she isn't needed now!" Sally cried. Heero left the room to tell the others, but made sure to barricade Sally's door before he left.
'I'll find you Relena. I've wanted to see you for years now. You'll be so surprised you'll fall head over heels and be mine again. Ha, I can't wait, and as for this other guy......' he thought as he reached the living room, which contained the whole group.
"I know where Relena is", he said.
(I know, I make Hee-chan sich a possesive little jerk!)
******************************
Relena sipped her Cosmopoliton gingerly, sitting on a bar counter seat happily. A perfect night again. Men drooling, flipping bottles around like pencils, kicking a guy's ass when he wouldn't leave. Life was great.
Jess ran out and sat next to her.
"You rocked Roxy!"
Relena handed Jess the Martini she had made for her.
"We're at our highest rank so far. I still don't think it's me though", Relena sighed, taking another sip.
"But it is you! You kick ass! They love you!" Jess chirped. Relena blushed. She hated comments like that, it made her feel bad.
"Well who cares? We're all awesome. Without even one of us, it wouldn't work. It's not just me." Jess nodded. Jen came out with Relena's tape.
"Thanks, and what was the name of the band again?" she asked.
"Violent Femmes(A real band that I like)", Relena answered, taking the tape. Jen smiled.
"Right, well, uh thanks, and uh, I gotta go, there's this guy outside!" Jen giggled, and then ran out the door, her chestnut brown hair flowing behind her.
Kate and Sarah came out of the door behind the counter laughing hysterically.
"Oh God, what'd you do?" Jess asked nervously. Seconds later Kat came out completely covered in whipcream.
"You're going to hell when I get a hold on you", she growled. Relena jumped over the counter, looked at Kat, reached into a box, pulled out a cherry, and put it on the other girls head. Kat glared at her.
"Well atleast you HAVE a cherry now", Sarah said, but soon wished she hadn't, because Kat jumped over the counter and started chasing her.
Relena and Kate laughed until they couldn't breathe, and Jess climbed onto the counter to avoid getting hit by the two women.
"Dirty words are not good with Kat", she sighed.
Relena finally restrained Kat, and Sarah ran out the door, just to be safe. Jess opened the door, and Kat zoomed out after the red head. Kate just walked out, shaking her head. The two roommates left last, locking the bar up, and catching a cab to their apartment.
**************************
"We will be landing in five minutes, please fasten your seatbelts", a voice said over the intercom. Duo fidgeted in his seat, while Wufei rolled his eyes. Trowa and Quatre had left for the bathroom an hour ago, and still weren't back. Heero was calmly asleep, dreaming of a certain sandy-blonde.
{Dream Sequence}
Heero walked into her apartment. He searched the den and kitchen, and finding nothing, headed towards a door. He opened it, and gasped at the site.
Relena.
In bed.
With......another man.
She looked at him.......and laughed.
Heero almost fainted.(I made it choppy, because if you were him, that's how it would come.)
"You're so surprised! The great Heero Yuy, surprised that the little schoolgirl found someone else? Well you had your chance, and you also lost it. I don't love you anymore, in fact I hate you!" she said, still laughing. The man looked at Heero and smirked.
"Too bad you lost your chance. She was REALLY good."
"Goodbyyyyyyyyyyye",she said, waving, with a fake frown on her face.
A trapdoor opened under him, and as he fell all he could see was Relena laughing at him. Heero looked down and saw the ground getting closer........
and closer......
and closer..........
and closer............
{End of Dream}
Heero awoke with a jump. He wiped the sweat off of his forehead and looked around. Duo and Wufei were yelling at each other, but when he turned away they started cuddling(Oh my God! They're so kawaii together!!!), Quatre and Trowa were gone, Noin and Miliardo were making out, and no one had noticed his jump when he had woken up.
'Relena don't give up on me, I'll be there.'
******************
Relena awoke, throwing her alarm clock at the wall. It was five o' clock p.m., her usual time to get up. She stood up, and opening her closet picked out her favorite outfit. It was, since you're dying to know, a pair of silver pants(Think Jericho on WWF), and, like most of her shirts, it was skin tight, black, and short sleeved, but this one said in silver writing 'princess'. It always made her smirk, just the thought was funny. She threw the outfit onto the bed and headed into the bathroom.
Thirty minutes later Relena emerged from the it in a towel refreshed. She changed into her outfit and headed into the hallway. Hearing cursing come from the kitchen, she smirked. Jess never liked cooking.
"Stupid mother fucker....",Jess muttered, trying to put together a grilled cheese sandwich. Relena walked up behind her and laughed.
"You're supposed to put the cheese in the bread, and cook it together", she said. Jess glared at her. She ignored the glare and pulled out a coke.
"We have an hour. You need to get ready", the black haired girl said, opening her soda.
"Yeah, well, atleast I brushed out my hair, chill out!" the blonde replied. Relena rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, but I'm not going to be late again because of you", Relena said.
"Fine! I'll get ready now. You're way to strict Rox."
"I have to be with YOU." Relena walked back into her bedroom, and seized her brush. She brushed her now clean hair, making it shine. Grabbing her wallet, she walked back down the hall, to see Jess waiting at the door.
"What took you so long", Jess asked jokingly. Relena rolled her eyes again and walked past the girl and to the elevator.
"Coming?"she asked, stepping in. Jess followed her, and pressed the button. They soon walked out of the building and into a cab, heading towards Coyote Pugly. In five minutes they arrived, and opened the doors for the other four women.
Once in they took their sections. Jess took the chairs off the tables and set them on the floor. Sarah and Jen wiped the counters, while Kat and Kate checked the registers. Relena got the honors of opening the case over the alcohol. After that was done, Kat pulled out a tape.
"What is it this time?" Jen asked.
"Out classic, the song we played exactly one year ago when Roxy joined us. I think it's a good luck charm", she replied. Relena blushed.
"Cool!"
"Hey Kat, is that a new outfit?" Relena asked. Kat blushed too. She was wearing cerulean blue, shiny, skintight pants, with a short sleeved blue tiger shirt.
"You actually noticed! Well, yeah", the blue haired girl answered.
Sarah jumped up on the counter.
"Well it's not better that mine!" she yelled, shaking her butt. She was wearing black leather pants that had flames on them and a blood red tubetop.
"Yeah right! I'm so better! Purple leopard pants and matching cowboy hat? Not to mention a fifty dollar black tubetop!" Jen said, sitting on a chair and crossing her legs.
Kate didn't say anything. She had worn black leather pants and a cow marking shirt.
"I think Kate looks beautiful", Relena said, trying to compliment Kate, since she didn't seem to like her outfit.
"Really?" Kate asked.
"Definitely, it compliments you", Sarah said.
"Group hug!" Jen cried. All the girls gathered in a big hug.
"It's a Kodak moment", Relena joked. All the girls laughed.
"Well", Jess started,"You may think you look good but I'm the best dressed."
"Yeah, green leather pants and a white skin tight tanktop is stunning!", Relena said sarcastically.
"Shutup princess!", Jess yelled, "You could be Relena Peacecraft!" Relena forced a laugh, so she could blend in with the other girls.
"That girl? God she was so spoiled, not to mention stupid! She probably had no idea what was going on in the REAL world", Kat said annoyed.
"Sometimes I felt like setting her on fire! She was stuck in her dreamworld, not craing for the real one!" Sarah said, pulling out her lighter and smiling mischievously.
"She was pretty retarted huh?" Relena asked kind of sadly.
"Yeah, well who cares? She's gone now, and her brother is leading. So let's forget it. We open in three and a half hours, so let's get planning. Roxy, you're going to show me that trick right?"
"Yeah sure Kate", Relena answered.
"Me too!"
"Yeah I wanna know how!"
"Cool, count me in."
"Don't forget me!"
Relena rolled her eyes for the third time that day.
"Fine let's get started then."
*****************
Heero searched the online phonebook. There was no Roxy. Atleast not in the files here. He'd searched for hours, no one with that name at all that owned anything. An idea came to him. He shrugged, it might work. He typed in Relena Peacecraft. The computer searched for a moment, then came to a name.
'What's this?' he wondered. He opened it, and the name there was Elen Craft.
'Ofcourse, it's perfect.' He downloaded the address and ran out of his hotel room's door.
Five hours later, Heero reached her door.
Duo had decided to play a prank on Heero, pretending a war was going on outside, by playing recorded noises around the room and sticking television sets behind the windows, which were playing war tapes.
After Heero had run out into the street with guns in hand, freaked out the whole street, he realized the prank.
Going back into the hotel he beat the shit out of Duo, and then he got into a cab, which was being driven by a new worker. The guy seemed to have forgotten the way to 1125 5th avenue, so Heero had decided to walk instead.
(Now back to the present)
Heero kicked in the door open and burst in. Checking the den and kitchen, and finding nothing he gulped. Slowly, he crept down the hall, and up to a door. He drew in a breath, and pushed it open. Heero sighed in relief when it was empty. He checked the rest of the apartment, before tasting his defeat.
He then noticed a newspaper. Picking it up, he looked at the advertisement for some bar.
'Doesn't sound bad....I could use a drink to calm my nerves', he thought, heading towards the door, which had fallen to the ground.
But he hadn't noticed that one of the girls on the ad looked exactly like Relena with black hair...........
