A/N: Hey ya'll! Here is the scoop. I've never written a Gundam Wing story before. I write lists and that's it. But I decided that it's time for a change of pace. If this story sucks to bad then please tell me and I will remove it from fanfiction.net and you'll never have to read another story by me. If you do like it please tell. And everyone who is reading this give a big round of applause for Angel of Death who got me to actually sit down and write this story. Nobody else has been able to but her. I thank her very much for her encouragement. So ya'll thank her too. Okay, this story takes place two years after the Mariemaia incident. If I confuse you to much then tell me. And remember this is my first actual story and I suck at starting stories off. And please excuse my punctuation, I'm not good at that or separating my paragraph at the right parts. I haven't even gotten into the story I have planned yet. Okay, I'll stop rambling and let you read the story. Please R&R. Thanx!



Gundam Wing: The Next Generation


Relena kept running through the woods as fast as she could. The man with the gun just seemed to keep gaining on her. Relena burst through another bush, deeply scratching her leg. The scratch slowed her down even more. She pushed herself as hard as she could but couldn't go any faster. He just kept gaining. Relena just kept running, slowly tiring and slowing. Every now and then she would glance up at the trees just to see if a certain Prussian blue eyed pilot was about to jump down and save her. She never saw him. All the sudden and vine was in front of her, draped between two trees. She ran straight into it. It acted as a rope that held her in place. She did her best to flip herself over it but when she landed she slammed her elbow into a rock. She screamed out in pain but got up and kept running. Turning to look back she saw that the man with the gun was closer than ever. While looking backwards she tripped over a tree root and sprawled out on the ground belly first. As soon as she rolled over the man with the gun had her. He grabbed her around the neck, picked her up, and shoved her up against a tree. Then he put the gun up to her forehead.
"Why?" Relena whispered. The man only answered with a crooked smile and an evil glint in his eye. Then he started to squeeze the trigger. He pulled the trigger back further… and Relena woke up.
"What an awful dream." She said. This was the third night in a row she had had this dream. She always woke up in different parts but this was the furthest it had gone. It always started with her walking through the park. Then, when no one else was around a man with a gun would come out from behind a big tree and start to chase her through the woods. Usually she would trip and fall in her dream, then wake up. Not this time. This time it had gone far enough to terrify her.
At least this time she got a good look at the man's face. It was the man from the party three nights ago. He had given her chills even then. She had been at the Annual Peace Ball. They had held one for the last two years to celebrate peace. The man had been at this past one. She had seen many men looking at her but he looked at her with a look that sent chills down her spine. He had light brown hair and dark blue eyes that were almost black, icy, unfriendly, and perhaps, evil. She had caught him looking at her many times. Every time she caught him he would give her a crooked smile. The same crooked smile from her dream.
He had scared her then but now, after her dream, he scared her more. At the party she had just told herself she was being paranoid, now she was thinking that maybe it was a sign or warning. Then again, maybe she was just being paranoid. Either way she would feel much better if she visited the Sanc Kingdom. While she was there she could visit her brother Milliardo, his wife Noin, and their one-year-old son Michael. She could also check up on the peace situation and tell Noin about the recent events. The only problem was she had meetings to go to. She had a morning meeting and an afternoon meeting tomorrow and an afternoon meeting the next day. She sat down and thought about what way would let her miss the least meetings. She finally decided to leave for the Sanc Kingdom after her morning meeting, cancel her afternoon meeting, stay the night, then leave straight for the other afternoon meeting the next day. She laid back down and tried to go back to sleep, though sleep didn't come easily.
*************************************************************** *********
Heero was sitting in the tree that stood next to Relena's balcony. He had seen her tossing and turning in bed. He had wanted to go in and shake her awake and make sure she was alright, but couldn't. A few minutes later she had sat up in bed and mumbled something to herself. Then she sat for a while, staring straight ahead as if deep in thought. Then she laid back down and finally fell back to sleep.
Heero leaned back against the tree trunk and settled in for the night. He couldn't let Relena out of his site, not with the new peace threat. For the past two years he had worked day and night trying to find any peace threats. Every now and then he would come and watch Relena for a day, watching for suspicious characters. The day before yesterday, Christmas Eve, he had detected a threat seemed different from the others. He researched it and researched it and decoded file after file. With every file his heart beat faster and faster and his headache grew steadily worse. This threat was definitely different, it was serious. He hurried and sent all the decoded files to Noin and the Preventers. Then he grabbed his jacket and left for the Darlian residence. He needed to watch over Relena, besides, he wanted to see her open the Christmas present he sent her. He smiled, remembering the look on Relena's face when she opened the unmarked box. He had left the outside unmarked but inside there was a card that read, "Merry Christmas, I'm watching over you. From Heero." Under the note was a necklace. When Relena read the note her eyes grew wide and then she smiled. Then she lifted the necklace out of the box to take a closer look at the charm that dangled from it. It was a small, gold Guardian Angel. She smiled at it and put it on.
"I'll never take it off, thank you Heero." She mumbled to herself.
Now, as he sat on his branch in the tree, he looked down at Relena and saw the necklace still around her neck. He took a few quick glances around to make sure nothing was out of place. Then he took one last look at Relena, smiled, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
*************************************************************** *********
Relena smiled as she stepped out of the car, in front of the Peacecraft Mansion. She grabbed her bags and ran up to the front door. As soon as she reached the doorstep she rang the doorbell.
"Relena!" Noin exclaimed when she opened the door.
"Noin!" Relena said.
"Is that Relena?" Milliardo called from the stairs.
"No, I yelled Relena for nothing, of course it's Relena!" Noin yelled back, with a smile on her face. "My you've grown since your last visit." It was true. Relena had grown to be 5'4" in height and had lost her baby fat, becoming very shapely.
"Michael's grown too." Relena said, cooing at the baby in Noin's arms. Then she reached up and hugged Milliardo and then reached over and let Noin hand her Michael. Michael was adorable. He had Noin's eyes but Milliardo's hair. Even though he was only a year old, his hair came just above his ears an was cut in a bold cut.
"Come in and sit down, its cold outside." Noin said motioning toward the sofa. "What made you change your mind about coming for a visit?" Noin asked once they were comfortable. "I thought you were loaded down with paperwork and meetings."
"I canceled a meeting and brought my paperwork with me." She said holding up two briefcases. "Besides, some weird things have happened lately and I've been having a nightmare that I just can't shake off."
"Why don't you tell me about everything." Noin said with a worried look on her face. Relena told her about the strange man at the Peace Ball and about her dream.
"So," Relena said when she'd finished, "I've come to see if there are any threats on peace that look more threatening than others, or different in some way."
"Well, we have had one threat that we are starting to worry about. It seemed different than the others but not really any more of a threat. Then, the other day, it took a strange turn. See we started getting decoded files, stolen from the threat's base. They described some things planned. The files were sent from an unknown person. But they keep sending more and with each one we get more and more worried. Nobody has checked up on it since day before yesterday. We let all the Preventers yesterday and today off. Lady Une wanted to spend time with Mariemaia. Sally and Wufei went off somewhere." Both Relena and Noin laughed at the thought of Wufei and Sally going on vacation together. Relena could picture the pair yelling at each other the whole time. "I'll go check up on the files, since you got Michael to sleep." She said smiling.
Relena looked down at the sleeping baby in her arms. "Thank you, Noin. I guess I'll sit right here." With that Noin left to another room to check and see if anymore files had arrived. Relena sat and talked with Milliardo for about twenty minutes before Noin came running back into the room with a very worried look on her face.
"Relena! Milliardo! Look at this."
"What is it?" Both asked.
Noin thrust a bunch of papers into Milliardo's hands while at the same time telling Relena, "We have to get you extra protection, you're in very grave danger!"
