Fight of a Lifetime

Epilogue

Written By Rae

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ It had been two weeks since Machiavellianís murder. It didnít take Relena long to figure out what had really happened. And truth be told she didnít seem to upset, just worried that someone would figure them out. It was also the truth that Machiavellianís subjects didnít mourn much over his death. Actually Romefellar declared it a worldwide holiday. Within three days they were at Relenaís door begging her to be Queen of the World again to which she readily agreed. Thatís where she was now, walking up to the podium to give a speech before the entire world and all of the colonies.

Thank you all. As youíve probably heard by now I was forced into marrying Machiavellian and giving up my position I politics. Iím sure the preventers wonít allow it to happen again. They too were tortured alongside my self. As you know the preventers, who are also former gundam pilots are away cleaning up the mess left by the wars Machiavellian causedÖ

 Relena sighed; she missed Heero and the gang, Heero especially. After being forbidden to see him for five years she wished they couldíve put off playing clean up crew for a while. They were supposed to get back tomorrow. Relena thought about all that had happened. She certainly hoped it wasnít true what they said about history repeating itself. When she was done with her speech Pagan picked her up and drove her home. Relena looked around the mansion. It was big but not as big as the drafty castle where sheíd lived while married to Machiavellian.Ý She sighed, as happy as she should be that she was free of Machiavellian and that there was finally peace she didnít feel like celebrating. Actually she felt lonely. All theyíd been through and Heero still took off without a good-bye as soon as the job of cleaning up space was offered. Relena looked at a calendar. In handwriting she didnít recognize the words ìRelenaís Birthday.î

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ ìI almost forgot my own birthday, and apparently everyone else did too.î She thought. ìNo thatís silly, theyíre just busy. Donít act so selfish Relena.î

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ Relena walked into the kitchen and saw a pile of presents sitting on kitchen table with cards and a note:

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ Dear Relena,

Sorry we canít be there for your birthday right now. Weíll be home soon but right now weíre

ìdisposingî of the last of Machiavellianís followers. If you want you can start on the presents. Take care.

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝFrom the gangÝ

Relena smiled a little. She should have known her friends better. She decided to wait and go out side for a walk in the gardens to get a little fresh air.Ý A little voice in her head was taunting her,

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ ìSure a little fresh air is your reason huh. Youíre just disappointed Prince Charming didnít leave anything.î

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ Relena ignored the voice though she knew it was right and went outside. She walked through the moonlit gardens gazing up at the stars. Suddenly she saw a familiar silhouette.Ý Her heart skipped a beat and she almost forgot to breathe.

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ ìHeero, I thought you were-.î

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ ìI have a mission to complete.î

ìI see.î Relena tried to hide her disappointment.

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ ìRelena, I just wanted to tell you Happy Birthdayî

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ ìOh.î So this was it. He was leaving again and had stopped to say ìHappy Birthdayî because he just happened to remember it.

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ Heero knelt down on one knee and pulled out a small velvet box. He opened the box and Relena gasped at the sparkling diamond ring, which mustíve cost Heero at least five thousand dollars.

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ ìRelena, will you marry me?î

ÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝÝ Relena was speechless but the look in her eyes gave Heero all the answer he needed and for once in his life he smiled a real smile-not a smirk or an insane ìIíll kill youî smile-no it was a true genuine smile. Heero stood up and pulled Relena close to him and kissed her. Relena wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed right back with all the love in her heart. It started to rain but Relena and Heero didnít notice.

Authorís Note: UmmÖokay this is the only part of my story I wonít accept flames for because I already know that itís really pathetic. So donít email me saying it sucks ëcause I already know that-email me and pretend you like it okay? Please review! Well this is the end of Fight of a Lifetime. I started a new fic called Heeroís Mistake, which has nothing to do with this one. Umm, I apologize for the awful ending, I know itís kind of sappy. Well letís just leave it with Heero and Relena and the gundam gang live happily ever after- unless I make a sequelÖMWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
