When everyone finally got back inside, they all sat in the living room. Everyone was still confused over what happen. Diana stood up and another tear ran down her cheek.
"I have stuck up for Heero all these times he is my best friend," she announced.
Now everyone was curiuos.
"Since when?" Noin asked.
"Since I was 7. I lived near Doctor J's office so I seen Heero a lot. With all the wars going on, I had seen many Moblie Suits (MS). I was very interested in them. None of the girls like me because of my interests. None of the boys liked me because i was too wild. So I didn't have any friends. My parents never cared for me. The only person who did care for me was my brother. He was a fighter in the war. But sadly he died. I was only 6 when he died. Then I was left alone. No friends or anyone who cared for me. I didn't have anywhere or anyone to play with so I watched Doctor J train Heero. Heero repeatedly saw me watching but I never cared. One day I went up to him and asked him what his name was. He didn't know what to do. He was trained to be "heartless" and "ruthless", but he answered me anyway. He had understood my life, no friends nor family, but he didn't want to be my friend. The last 2 days of that week, I didn't stop by to watch Doctor J train Heero. I had gone to my Aunt who lived 14 miles away for me because she was the only one who remembered it was my birthday. I finally became 7. I was so happy because my birthday had passed, and the whole ride back to my parent's house I couldn't get a smile off my face. Well until I was on my way to see Heero. I didn't notice but Heero was already outside. A 13 year old boy who had saw me and something shiny on my wrist decided to pick on me. On my wrist was a gold bracelet my Aunt had given me. It had D+ ingraved in it and it seemed as if it was missing a letter next to it. My Aunt had said I would now how to fix that empty space next to it when I was older. But i never understood her. The 13 year old boy wanted my bracelet. He picked me up and thrown me against a concrete wall. Heero saw this and for some reason came in and helped me. I watched the two of them fight for a little while then, one of the boy's friend grabbed a glass bottle, came up behind me and hit me over the head with it. Then I fell unconcious. I still have the scar from it."
She showed them a cut from the top of her head down to near her ear. It was all covered by hair and wasn't noticable unless pointed out by her. They were all disgusted, yet sad. She continued,
"When I was finally concious, I asked him why he helped me, but he didn't answer. He was curious himself. He just stayed quiet. I just told him out of anywhere,
"I will repay you one day for helping me."
"That's why you were so mad earlier," Milliardo replied, "I am greatly sorry."
It's ok, continuing my story, I told him 'If you don't want to be my friend, I understand, Goodbye Heero...."
"... And since I knew she was the only person who could understand me," Heero added cutting Diana off. "So I called her back," he continued with a smile on his face looking at Diana wiping a tear of her cheek."She then turned around and looked at me."
" 'Can you truly understand me?' Heero asked me," Diana said, " 'Can you understand my life?', and I answered him, I said yes. It is lonely, hard, sad, and you probably don't have too many friends. He then looked up at be and said 'None at all'."
" 'Yes you do' she told me, then I looked at her puzzled," Heero joined Diana, " 'You have me' she said. 'Even if you try to deny it, I am here for you,' she said." Heero said.
"Can you teach me how to pilot a MS or fight like you do, I asked him. I have been so interested in these suits, but I never understood what you were taught. Can you teach me everything you know?" Diana asked.
"Yes I said. It only took her a year to learn. That was even faster than me," Heero replied.
"We spent most of our freetime together. He was very careful of me. He would never let anything bad happen to me. Doctor J wasn't very happy about this. He didn't want Heero to have any weaknesses. We didn't care though. We practiced against eachother with left over MS. No one ever won the fights though. We were unseperable. Well until we were 13. Him and Doctor J had gone to a new place to test the gundam. Heero left and I was alone again. I never got to see Heero leave. He had left me a letter knowing he wouldn't see me. The letter said he never meant to leave and he was ever so sorry. He told me the adress of where they went, but it was too far for me. He also told me to keep him in my heart, and I did. He said he would do the same. And then I was asked to come here and fight, and I found Quatre. But the LAST person I expected to see was him. I try to block out my past knowing I am finally at peace and happiness." Diana ended her story. She looked up and saw 8 pairs of sad eyes looking everywhere(no one wanted to show how sad they actually were).
"You forgot about your accident at 14," Heero said remindingly.
"Oh yeah, I remember that," Diana said in an odd voice. "Has anyone, specifically a woman, been treated bad or ackward by Heero?" Diana asked. She looked up and saw Relena's hand raise. "Sorry it's all my fault. When I was 14, I went into battle, still wondering about Heero. I mistaked an enemy for Heero piloting a MS. They had a very similar fighting style. I went too close and the enemy attacked. I was hurt severely and was sent to the hospital. I remembered the last two sentences Heero wrote to me was:
"Stay safe while I am gone. We will meet again." So I wrote him a letter telling him what happen. I wasn't too sure if I would make it out ok. I asked my doctor to find him, but I didn't think she would. I guess we were meant to meet again," Diana said.
"And I never wanted to get closer to anymore girls that needed protecting because I couldn't always be there to protect them. Then I found Relena! She needed a lot of protecting, but I was by her side all the way!" Heero replied. Relena smiled.
"Wow! What a way to live!" Quatre said, "I'm happy you came out ok!"
"Well, yeah. That's why I don't want to remember it. I am now happy I told someone or should I say some people all that." Diana said.
At the end of her story, a very strange, rare, and unusual thing happened. A tear dropped from Wufei's eye!! It was quite a shock! Everyone now understood Diana and why she acted the way she did. Of course Duo had to come in and ask stupid questions, but Diana didn't mind. His final question was the only one anyone listened to. He asked when they would finally go out. He said he wanted to go before it is 12 midnight!
