Afterword: Relena's Secret
This is just a little attempt to lighten the mood. It doesn't really make sense unless you've read this story, and doesn't add to much to it, but it was a cute idea I decided to add on. This could possiblely be a foreshadowing of a sequel, but I don't know about that yet! ^_^;

Quatre lowered his binoculars with a smile as Heero leaned down to kiss Relena. 'Looks like he had the right idea after all,' he thought to himself as he nudged Abdul, who was still watching them. "That's not very polite, Abdul."

"Awwwww, come on Master Quatre!"

"They would probably like some privacy."

"Yeah, I guess." He lowered his binoculars reluctantly, and the two headed back to the ATV. Rashid started the engine as Quatre and Abdul jumped in. "Where to, Master Quatre?"

"Relena's estate. Her guards have probably already identified us, so it would be rude not to stop by."

"You're also curious about Relena and Heero, right?" Rashid asked.

Quatre grinned. "Well, yes, I'll admit I would like to see them."

They drove down to the gate, which opened for them immediately, confirming Quatre's guess. He was shown into a small sitting room on the second floor, where a maid brought in a tea service. She sat it down on the coffee table just as Relena came into the room, wearing a large fluffy robe and a towel around her shoulders under her damp hair. Quatre rose to greet her, one eyebrow raised at her outfit. "Am I interrupting something?" he asked innocently.

Relena laughed. "No, it's OK. I decided to take a swim in the fountain," she said with a sheepish grin.

Quatre laughed with her as they sat down and he poured her a cup of tea. "So Heero finally admitted his feelings?"

"Thank you," she said as he handed her the cup. "Yes, we finally got to talk. You know, I was a bit afraid he really didn't feel anything more than friendship for me. I'm really glad I was wrong!"

Quatre took a sip from his cup. "I do have one question for you, if you don't mind."

"Not at all. What do you want to know?"

"Well, the vid station that first broadcast all the 'scoops' about your engagement is actually owned by me. I could have 'slipped' the truth in to them, and they would have believed it. Why did you not tell me what was going on?"

She smiled impishly at him over her cup. "I was actually going to ask you until Duo called and said Heero was on the way here. I really wanted to see why, so I held off. I hoped that maybe he was finally ready to take off his mask, if only for a few minutes."

"And if he had been on his way here to kill your bodyguard, as Duo had suggested?"

"I knew he wouldn't. He promised to never kill again. I know that that promise is one he would rather die than break."

Quatre nodded. He wasn't really surprised. "But why did your bodyguard not tell the reporters the truth as well?"

"He promised me a long time ago that he wouldn't discuss my actions with reporters unless I had done so first. Besides, when I hadn't talked to the press after the first couple of days, I think he suspected I wanted to keep everyone guessing, especially Heero."

Quatre's eyes widened. "You knew Heero was coming here, and you wanted him to do this!"

She giggled softly. "Well, I have to admit his reaction surprised me a little, but I knew he would react someway. And yes, while I was hoping Heero would tell me he loved me, I would have been almost as happy with any emotional reaction. I thought a bit of a shock would allow him to face his emotions. He needs to learn to not fear his human side. He's suffered enough."

"You are a devious woman, Relena Darlin," Quatre replied, smiling and raising his cup in salute.

"Why thank you," she replied raising her cup in return. "And I trust Heero won't find out?"

He laughed softly at that. "I think he already knows, but if he doesn't, he won't learn anything from me!"
