~True Love Never Dies~
By: Sakura Relena Yuy
"Sure everything's fine. What's that?" asked Relena.
" I brought you some refreshments that might cheer you up. Some ice cream and tea."
"Gee thanks. But I'm not hungry right now. I was just thinking about now that Heero's gone, my brother is probably going to marry me off to some jerk. He would probably anyway seeming's how he and Heero don't get along well. But still shouldn't I be able to make decisions about my own lovelife? I couldn't help it if I fell in love with his rival. I mean, don't get me wrong. I love my brother and I know he wants nothing but the best for me, but I want to be able to live on my own."
"Well then maybe what you need is to get out and get some fresh air. Like go to the mall with your friends. Maybe you'll meet the true love of your life there." Peygan suggested some more things which didn't sound to pleasing to Relena. She tried the mall idea.
"Thanks Peygan. I think I will go to the mall. I do need to get out. I can't stand the thought of being a hermit crab all my life, while there's many things I still want and need to do."
"Since when did you decide to get out? You've been hiding in your room for weeks." Asked Kirin.
"Peygan convinced me. I finally realized there's no way to bring Heero back and that I just had to move on. He wouldn't want me to be sad forever because of him. He hated to cause me pain." Relena still looked sullen.
"Yeah, she really had an emotional break down when we found her. She could hardly speak. But Relena this is for the best." Replied Noin, her sister-in-law.
Relena's brother Milliardo and Lucrezia Noin had pretty much been in love since they met. They went to school together, fought together, and a whole lot more. Relena was glad at least someone got to be happy. "Guess you're right."
Beyond the corner, another figure was waiting. 'This has got to work. I don't any other way to do this.' "Well here goes nothing." The figure whispered.
Then it happened. Angelic met extremely cute when Relena and the figure collided. Relena still had part of her concussion was the worst part. "Hey! Please watch it next time I have a con…cussio…..n" Relena stopped in mid sentence. She couldn't believe her eyes. The figure was a dead ringer for Heero. The same Prussian Blue eyes, the same wild hair, and the most handsome face. 'It can't be. No! I looked everywhere! He didn't come out! He couldn't have come out! I would have seen it! But I can hope can't I? The strange thing is, is he's smiling.' She sighed. 'It isn't Heero.'
"Here miss let me help you up. I'm terribly sorry. I didn't realize…"
"Oh it's okay. Just a klutzy error on our part. I should have been watching too. Um what did you say your name was again?" Relena was blushing wildly. 'This is so strange. I've never felt this way with anyone or about anyone except Heero.'
" I didn't. But my name is Adin Lowe Jr. It's a pleasure to meet such an angelic figure like you."
'Grrr……There goes the flattering part.' "Why thank you."
"Oh no I wasn't trying to flatter you. Here forget that. Um…Here let me buy you and your friends lunch or something. I'm sorry, I was just……….."
" Oh don't worry. Lunch? That would be great thank you so much." Said Relena but then Dorothy dragged her aside.
"Nice one Miss Relena."
"What are you talking about?" Relena was sincerely confused.
"Miss Relena! This is your chance! You can start over! Without Heero."
" But……."
"Oh come on! He's a dead ringer for Heero! You're not going to get much closer."
"I suppose you're right."
As Dorothy, Catherine, Hilde, Sally, and Kirin walked behind Adin, Dorothy's words rang in her mind 'You can start over without Heero………..' Is that what she wanted? Not really, but she'd be a mess if she couldn't get over this. She'd have to. Who knows? Maybe she'd have fun with Heero……….'I mean Adin!'. 'Oh boy this will be hard.'
