Notes: Wrote this right after I'd gotten back from a back packing trip. It had rained on us, so that's where this came from- me in a small tent in the rain. How scary…

Rain. I mean real rain, not the `because we have to' fake rain the L2 government dropped on us. The Real thing is fresh and clean. It tastes good on your tongue and doesn't have too many artificial chemicals in it. It isn't recycled in the sense that it's in a controlled, enclosed ecosystem; Real rain is rejuvenated.

There's a breath taking beauty in all of this- green trees blanketing the hillside, a dark gray sky off setting them, and pouring buckets of sparkling raindrops falling onto everything within reach. Tomorrow it'll mist up, creating a low ground cover of silver and blue-white with the substance of cotton and marsh mellows. It's crazy how that works… It never did that back home, but then again, this is Earth.

The L2 Government also never wasted water. Rain showers would last two hours tops in the majority of the city- just enough to cleanse the dirt caked buildings and streets. Here… Here you can sit in the window and watch it rain all day and never worry about it stopping. Not once if the cloud cover is good, like today.

Thunder and lightning! We never had them either. Don't know why. `Guess they weren't imaginative enough. I can see it now though… It just started out of nowhere, illuminating everything in a metallic blue sheen. And it's beautiful to watch- streaking across the heavens of touching down in some unfathomable spot. You can feel it in the air. The thick electricity surrounding everything.

Another presence invades my senses, drawing me from the majesty of my view out the window; my portal to the world. When strong arms envelop my waist, I faintly hear a gasp escape what I can only assume is my lips. In thinking about it, I knew it was him from the very start. The subtle way he entered the room- silent yet noticed. The way I felt his eyes on me, looking through to my soul. Heero Yuy. My one true love.

After the initial acquaintance, he pushes me to the side a bit and sits down. Never breaks the spell of silence. He pulls me against him then, my head resting on his broad chest, my hands entwined with his.

We sit like that for an eternity. Just us and the rain spattering the windowpane. A song of nature. The only sound heard.

Just a note. The place I was at was Red River Gorge, KY. Beautiful!! The scenery is beyond anything my pathetic attempt at words could describe. And everything was just beginning to bloom….
