"Hey Relena! Aren't you nervous?" asked Catherine. It was 7:30 and she had to make her speech at 10:00. Everyone was already up and getting ready for the conference.
"No. I figured that even if the people don't except me, I have a home to go to." Relena told her as she stepped out of the bathroom. She was wearing a red silk dress with a slit right below the thigh, her hair was down with the front strands clipped to the back with a beret, she wore red platforms, and a thin gold chain with a jade shaped teddybear around her neck.
"What do you think?" Relena asked her and all the other girls on her bed.
"You look absolutely gorgeous." Hilde commented.
"Thanks." Relena replied.
"But what do you mean you have a home to go back to. If your not welcomed by your people, you're gonna go back to New York?" asked Sally.
"So you're just gonna pack up and leave again." Heero said as he and the other gundam pilots stepped into the room.
"Well yes, I suppose I would run off again." Relena said sarcastically.
"Now if you would excuse me, I can't stand being near negative energy." Relena said as she pushed past Trowa and out of the room.
"What's her deal?" asked Duo.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out." Replied Heero as he exited the room to go after Relena.

"Ok, I hope Milliardo won't get mad at me for this, but I have to protect him. It's for his own good." Noin convinced herself. She loaded the gun with 2 bullets and gently placed it in her pocket.
"I have to stop that girl, she's changed and under her rule, a war will start." Noin said to herself as she walked to the hall where Relena would make her speech.
"One hour left, good. The sooner the better." Noin said as she sat on the balcony waiting patiently.

"Relena, I need to talk to you." Heero called to her. Relena was just about to walk on the stage, but it was still 5 minutes early so Heero used it as his chance to talk to her.
"What do you want Heero?" Relena asked.
"I have to tell you something." He said.
"Well hurry it up, I have to make a speech soon, and it will depend on everything." Relena told him hurriedly.
"I have to say that you shouldn'.." then Heero was cut off by the sound of Millirado's voice echoing through the mansion. He was going to announce Relena's presence.
"Sorry Heero, I have to go." Relena said then kissed him on the cheek, and stepped onto the platform.

"Hello Everyone. As you all may have heard, I have been wounded and won't be able to take charge for awhile. On the day of my accident my sister, Relena, came to see me. She told me that she would like to temporarily replace me until I fully recover. Since she left, things have run smoothly in the kingdom and around the world. So, here is my sister. She will make a speech. If you like her and want her to be the temporary queen, please vote afterwards. Thank you." Milliardo said then stepped off the podium. He then ushered Relena towards it.
"Hello everyone. You may all wonder where I have been for the past three years. When I became queen for the first time, I wasn't really all that enthusiastic about it. After awhile, I became tired of all the responsibility and needed to think. So I left. You are all probably thinking that that was very irresponsible of me, but when I found out that my brother was wounded, I immediately came to the kingdom. Not only for the love of my brother, but the love of the people. Knowing that he it would be awhile till he could take charge again, I came to be queen. I will be queen again if you all accept me. But if you don't, then I will never come back to the kingdom again. My brother and I have made an agreement that if you don't accept me I will be banished from the kingdom forever and I can never use the Peacecraft name again. Thank you." Then Reline stepped off and just waited for a response. All of a sudden she heard a few claps then a dozen, then a thousand.

"Forgive me Milliardo. Noin said as she took the gun and pointed it at Relena's chest.
"Sorry Miss. Relena but this is for the best." Noin said to herself. Then she pulled the trigger.
