Missing

(Relena's Pov)

It was Christmas Eve! I was so excited. Duo and I were putting up the tree in the living room while the other guys decorated the house and the girls were in the kitchen baking. I had been so busy that the tree had been unable to be put up until now. We had Christmas music playing in the background so it added a touch of magic around the house. Of course though there was a downside. Trowa and Heero had left earlier in the month for a mission the agency had sent them on and wouldn't be back for sometime in late January. Lady Une, the commander of the preventor agency said it was very dangerous so they needed the best. She had wanted the other Gundam pilots to go, but each of them had something very important to do. I sighed thinking of Heero. How I missed him. I didn't want him to leave but I had no choice in the matter.

(Flashback)

It was raining and dark out side as Heero put his coat on and started for the door as Trowa kissed Cathy goodbye. "Heero, I yelled before he closed the door." I grabbed my coat and went towards him as I stepped out on the porch and gently shut the door behind me. "Must you go, I asked?" He sighed while he stared at me. There was a flash of pain in his eyes as he answered me. "I am afraid so Relena, he replied." "I know we had planned on spending Christmas together, I will make it up to you." He leaned over and laid his lips on mine. He then slowly took me into my arms and held me tight as he lifted my chin and looked into my eyes. I started to cry. "I don't want you to go, I said as he looked at me." He looked at me sadly as he brought me to his chest. "You know I don't want to leave you he said." I sobbed as I felt him kiss my forehead. "Take care of yourself k, he said as he turned around and went to the car. I stood there watching him as I crossed my arms for warmth. I heard a door open behind me and there came Trowa. "Good Bye Relena, he said as he patted me on the shoulder." "Good Bye Trowa, I said smiling weakly." He started for the car where Heero was and got in. Heero stood by the car door and looked at me a moment and then got in. I watched the car slowly pull away from the driveway and then go down the street. "Please bring him back to me, I prayed as I looked up into the sky."

(End of Flashback)

"I hope he is ok, I said while I hung an ornament on the tree." Duo stopped and looked at me with concern as he slowly came to my side. "He is fine, he whispered as he gave me a hug." "You know Heero, he can take of himself." "Ya, I laughed." "We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year." I turned around to see Hilde, Cathy, and Dorothy, singing as they entered the living room with a platter full of cookies. "O goody screeched Duo as he ran towards them." "Cookies, he said as he tried to grab one." "No way Duo Maxwell, yelled Hilde as she slapped his hand before he got one." "You can't have any yet, not till later tonight."

"Uuggghhh, said Duo as he came back over to help me with the tree." The girls set the platter down on the coffee table and then came over to join us. "That sure is a beautiful tree, said Quatra and Wuefie as they came in." "Why thank you, I replied while staring at the masterpiece." "How about we play some games, said Dorothy as she flopped down on the couch." "That's a good idea, said Cathy." So we all sat down and picked one of are favorite games. Charades. Duo was making a fool of himself acting like a donkey as we heard a loud knock on the door. I was laughing so hard at Duo that I couldn't get up so I asked Cathy if she would answer it. "Sure, she replied as she got up." Duo continued his acting when I heard Cathy scream. I jumped up so surprised and raced to see if she was ok. "What's the matter, I said as I turned around the corner to the door." I gasped not believing what I was seeing. "No way, I said." "No way."
