The Ice Princess
Part I
Relena looked outside her bedroom window.
She saw the snow silently falling on the ground.
She had a meeting with a politician on Colony L2.
It would be awhile before she came back.
She would be gone for a few weeks. She knew she would miss her home on Earth.
She missed her father, even if he wasn’t really her father. She missed him.
She closed her eyes and imagine him there with her.
Smiling at her.
Her bedroom door soon opened.
Relena opened her eyes and turned around to see Noin standing there.
"Pagan is waiting in the car, Relena. Hurry or you’ll miss your shuttle."
Relena gently smiled at her.
"Thank you, Noin."
Relena turned back looking out the window.
The falling snow was no longer silent.
The wind had picked up making a rustful loud sound.
Mother Nature was telling her not to leave.
She didn’t want to go.
"Relena?" Noin asked.
But she would go.
Relena followed Noin outside.
Relena stopped. But Noin kept on going.
"Heero, I will miss you." She said aloud.
A figure stepped out of the shadows.
Relena turned around to face the figure.
"Good-bye, Heero." Relena said softly with a smile.
She turned and continued on her way to the car.
Heero watched her get in the Limo. He saw the limo drive off.
In a few seconds the limo was gone due to the snow.
It seem the snow was trying to stop her from leaving.
He knew how the snow felt.
He didn’t want her to leave.
He wanted her near him all the time.
But it was her job to maintain peace.
Noin saw him and smiled at him.
"You should have gone with her."
Heero didn’t answer.
He wanted to go with her, even if he was her lover and practically lived with her.
But he had a meeting with Lady Une in a week.
He knew Wufei and Sally would be waiting for Relena at Colony L2.
Yet he felt like Mother Nature knew something he didn’t.
"Relena"
--------------------------------------------------------
Relena had a hard time entering the shuttle.
Somewho her legs didn’t want to move, for they felt heavy.
Finally she sat down and looked out the space shuttle window.
She could see Pagan from afar.
Soon the shuttle closed its door and began to lift off.
She could see the snow falling again as before.
They had a hard time coming to the airport due to the snow and now it was attacking again.
Relena’s felt nauseated.
She wanted to get off the shuttle.
At least her body wanted to.
Her mind told her to stay on the shuttle though.
She held on tight to her seat.
Why was she so scared?
She had never felt fear this way before in her life.
She closed her eyes.
She wanted Heero next to her.
She knew it would be a long flight.
--------------------------------------------------------
Nine hours into the flight Relena woke up from her sleep.
She didn’t know how she managed to go to sleep, but she had.
She looked out the window of the shuttle.
She could see space.
It was so empty.
"Vice Foreign Minister?" She heard a voice say.
Relena turned around and saw a young man a few years older than her.
"We have a problem." He said.
"What is it?" She asked. Her heart was beginning to beat faster.
"We lost power and communications forty minutes ago. We don’t know what happened. I’m sorry." He said. His voice shaking.
"I see." Relena said. "Thank you."
She turned back to look outside the shuttle window.
They were floating helplessly in space.
She understood now.
She understood the snow,
Her body,
And her fear.
They had been warnings.
She began to feel cold soon.
Her breathing had change as well.
She turned to look at the others in the shuttle with her.
She some her men praying, whispering, and the one who had told her of the situation, was looking at her with sad fill eyes.
She smiled sadly at him.
She looked at the ceiling.
She was dying.
They all were.
Soon she could bearly see.
"Heero." She said.
She thought of her brother and Noin.
Soon she would be with her family.
She looked out the window and in the distance she could see a light coming their way.
Would they make it?
She smiled again.
She closed her eyes.
She thought of Heero.
Her Heero.
She knew time had passed. She heard voices near her.
Heero, I love you.
It was her last thought before closing her eyes as a light reflected on her face.
