Everyone Changes

Hello everyone! Bunny here, posting up the first part of the Gundam Wing Series I have been working on with my friend Maji-chan. Please bear in mind that this work of fanfiction is still in progress. Aside from that, I am a college student and so I may not update on a regular basis as you've seen these last few months. I am busy between school and work and family and things like that.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gundam Wing or claim any of the characters and/or anything affliated with series as my own property. Do not sue me for simply expressing my love for this anime by writing fanfics! Thank you!

ACT 1: AC 200: Istanbul, Turkiye

The sound of a foghorn stirred the foreign vice minister from her sleep. She opened her deep violet-blue eyes and looked about the strange room. The walls where cream and several antique looking carpets and paintings were hung about them. The late afternoon sun was shining through a beautifully decorated French doors that had been left wide open. She sat up as she felt the wind blow in through the doors.

"Ooow." She muttered as she felt pain throb in her head. She moved a hand to her forehead and felt a bandaged there. "Now how did I get that?" She muttered, trying to remember what she had been doing and how did she end up here, wherever here was at the moment. Everything that had happened that morning had washed over her and tears just burst from her eyes. "Heero....why?"

///Flashback///
"This is the apartment..." Relena spoke as she approached the front gate. She walked up to the door and hit the intercom button to the apartment address that matched her note. Her source had to be right, this had to be Heero's home because the source had been a close comrade and friend of his. After a long moment someone answered the intercom, "Kim?" Relena took a deep breath, "Merhaba. This is Relena...is that you Heero?" She could have recongnized his voice anywhere and she smiled as the door clicked open. She went up the flight of the stairs to the first floor where his apartment was and he was standing there outside his door.

Relena paused to admire the young man that he was. He looked good, after all these years. She couldn't help but throw herself at him and hug him. "It's been so long, Heero! I'm so happy to find you."

Heero didn't hug her back and pushed her away, his hands squeezing her arms. "Why are you here? Did Duo or the others tell you how to find me?"

Relena blinked and frowned, "Ow...no...I found you myself. What's the matter Heero? I thought you'd be glad to see me...I mean it's been two years and I've missed you so much."

Heero dropped his arms and sighed, "Damnit. I am going to kill Duo...because it had to be him...." He looked at Relena and frowned, "I wasn't expecting to see you...ever." He looked at her and gave him a confused look. He sighed, "I was hoping that you would just forget about me and move on..."

Relena smiled and laughed, "How can I forget the man I love?"

The words made Heero flinch slightly. He turned around his hands on his hips, "Relena, please stop. That night was a mistake, I shouldn't have done what I did and I know I hurt you when I left." Heero looked back at her, his face more softer in expression and sader in appearance. "I don't have the same feeling for you anymore...I've changed and I am no longer the boy you once knew. Please forget about me...move on and don't look back!" He ordered the last part and looked rather edgy.

"But Heero?" Relena started to cry. She shook her head, "NO! We're supposed to be together, Heero. I just can't forget about you when I love you!" She pressed herself against him and hugging his back, "I love only you Heero....why can't you love me back?"

Heero pushed Relena back before she tried to kiss him. "Stop it!" He shook her shoulders. "I am not yours anymore."

"Murad-aºkim?" A voice spoke as the door open. A woman came out and Relena froze. Her eyes traveled down to the large belly the woman possed and she realized this woman was Heero's wife.

//End//

A knock came from an espresso lacquered wooden door, snapping Relena from her reverie. She stood from the bed, fixing her white dress, which she realized as she moved towards the door had been covered with dust and dirt. *When did this happen? Howard is going to be furious when he sees this!* She frowned a bit before moving towards the door. "Who is it?" She muttered softly, somewhat suspicious in tone.

He opens the door and looks in, concern is clearly in his eyes and on his face. "Relena-sama, are you alright?" He asked quietly, stepping into the room. He regarded the blonde girl in front of him and gives her a small smile. "You gave me a scare, Miss Relena."

Quatre Raberba Winner had grown up a bit over the last few years. He still looked angelic, it was those damn evil blonde curls and bright baby blues, but he did look a great deal more mature. Running the Winner Enterprises had seriously made the youngest of the pilots grow up. He was dressed in nice charcoal slacks, and a baby blue pressed buisness shit, a loosened matching charcoal tie on. He gained a few inches, but still short, even Chang Wufei stood taller by just an inch or two.

Quatre watches as tears welled up in Relena's eyes. "Oh Miss Relena...what happened?" He sets a tray of tea down that was in his arms and moves to Relena's side. He helped her back to sitting down on the bed and held her hand softly. In the back of his mind, he already knew what had happened. He had learned the facts about why Relena was here in Istanbul from Duo, himself not an hour ago. He frowned a bit as Relena started to break down, throwing her face into her hands. Her voice was barely audible but he listened very carefully to her words.

"I finally know the truth to why Heero broke our promise."

"I finally understand why he doesn't love me anymore."

"He loves someone else...not me...he doesn't want me anymore...he doesn't love me anymore!"

Relena trembles and grabs at her chest. The agony of being heartbroken suffocated her very being. The reason why she been happy these last few years as she reached adulthood, was knowing she had someone who loved her. That deep love she felt made it possible for her to accomplish everything to this point. She felt vain and useless...

Quatre reaches his arms around Relena and pulls her against him, hugging her in the most comforting way possible. "Just let it all out, Miss Relena." He strokes her hair softly as the woman continues to cry. He rests his head on hers, cooing her, hoping to diminish some of the pain the heartbroken princess felt.

Quatre notices that Relena's cries had subsided and out of her own exhaustion, had fallen asleep in his arms. "I'm sorry Miss Relena...if you need to rest, then I will go for now..." He whispers gently as he carefully lays her back onto the bed. He gets up quietly and walks out onto balcony, pulling the doors behind him. He walked down the steps to the veranda, where it connected to his own balcony, not twenty feet away. He joined a group of men sitting at under a canopied table and resumed the business he had been previously working on before he had checked on his guest.
