Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Relena's Story ❯ Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

It's funny. I'd never thought I would wind up back here. That I could never stay away. Here I am back to the one place I ran away from. Back to the one place that holds so many memories for me.
My name, my real name anyway, is Relena Peacecraft. I now go by the name Starlight Sapphire (I know it's corny). I am the new Preventer that was hired by Lady Une. I guess she read of my skills online.
"I should not be here," I thought as I approached the front desk, "I should not be here. They would recognize me, and all will be ruined. I don't want them to know."
"How may I help you?" the receptionist asked.
"Get me out of here!" I screamed inside my head. "Yes, I am here because I have an appointment with Lady Une," I answered, "I am Star Sapphire."
"She will be out in a minute," the lady replied. "Thank you," I smiled. I sat down in a chair and waited for Lady Une.
"You're finally here!" a voice exclaimed. I turned to see Lady Une approach me.
"She didn't change," I thought as I shook her hand. "Please to meet you, ma'm," I replied with a smile. "And polite, too," she continued, "Follow me."
She looked me over as we walked down a hallway. I had short red hair now. I wore skin-tight pants and a mid-drift tank top. She led me to a door.
"You look strong," she said. "I'm stronger than you think," I replied. "After living with you guys for so long," I thought," I actually learned something from you guysEven Heero."
"Now you can meet your coworkers," she continued. She opened the door to the briefing room. Inside were the guys along with my old girlfriends. Even Heero, Milliardo, and Noin were there. They all sat there, staring at me. "Just breathe," I thought, calming myself.
"You guys," Lady Une started," this is Starlight Sapphire. She will be the new addition to the team." She then told them to introduce themselves.
"I'm Hilde," my old best friend said," and this is Catherine, Dorothy, Sally, and Noin." Each one answered when their name was called.
"I'm Quatre," the rich boy said," and that's Duo, Wufei, Heero, Trowa, and Zechs." All of them were silent, except Duo was grinning sheepishly at me.
"Wonder what he's planning," I muttered.
"What was that?" my brother asked. "You're Milliardo Peacecraft," I said," Whatever happened to Relena Peacecraft?" Heero glared at me, and Noin looked away. "She is dead," Lady Une explained.
"Don't be so sure," I muttered. Heero looked up at me. "He must've heard," I thought," how could I be so stupid? How could I think that I can do anything without the "perfect soldier" knowing of it?" I smiled at him. "I have to set him straight later."
"You guys can call me Star," I said. Lady Une looked at Heero. "Heero," she said," I want you to show Star to her room." I nodded. Everyone else left to do his or her assigned tasks. I was left behind with Heero.
