Silver Friends
Marlene Dietrich: It’s the friends you can call up at four a.m. that matter.
Carl Jung: The
meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if
there is any reaction, both are transformed.
“Well
Lady,” Zechs Merquise said standing in Une’s living room as night fell. “I suppose this is goodbye.”
“I don’t
see why I have to go to Bern now,”
Une fumed, a cup of coffee in hand.
“It’s been more than two weeks since the Dekim uprising was brought
down. The danger is past, if they wanted
to hide me somewhere to be safe two weeks ago was the proper time.”
Irritably
she took a sip of hot coffee. Zechs
merely smiled at her irritation. He knew
Lady Une well.
“It will
only be for a week or two,” Zechs pointed out logically. “And I’ll still be here giving you reports
every few hours. How is Mari? Is she still convalescing?”
“Yes,” Une
nodded. “Sally Po is staying with her
and looking after her progress for me.
She told me just yesterday that Marimeia will be able to move in with me
on base in a few more monthsp>

“She’s so
much like him,” Zechs said with a pained smile. “That’s an order.”
“”Lady,”
Anders did not budge one inch order or not.
“Treize would never allow you to work yourself into an early grave. If he’s not here to make sure you get some
decent sleep than I’ll at least make sure he’s at ease where your health and
welfare are concerned. Don’t force me
Lady Une.”
Une said
nothing. She knew he was right, knew
that Treize would have never let her work until she was underweight and barely
sleeping. He may have never slept but he
made sure to stay in shape. Une could
not even recall the last time she had picked up a rapier for practice or even
when she had been to the gym. There
never seemed to be enough time for anything anymore. But there was always mountains of paperwork
that never seemed to disappear, instead they seemed to grow larger.
What happened to the elegance Lady? What happened to everything I taught you
about power and command? Where did it
all go?
She could
almost hear his voice now, whispering in her ear. She shuddered. It was almost too close to the truth. No one other than Zechs had dared to
challenge her in such a way, had dared to mention Treize so openly with
her. Une put the papers down
slowly. She could tell that Anders was
going to look after her and make sure that she appeared the proper Commander
even if she went kicking and screaming.
Une sighed
and swept her hair up to the nape of her neck.
She stood and stretched her tired and cramped muscles. Sally would kill her if she did not put on a
few more pounds. Anders smiled at his
success.
“You know I’m
right about this Lady,” He opened the door to her office and stepped out into
the hall with her. “I won’t let you
overwork yourself. Otherwise you’ll burn
yourself out in a matter of years when the Preventered yed you for a long
career.”
“I get the point
Lt.,” Une said walking down the hall to the officers’ quarters where she had a
room and tiny bathroom to herself.
“Where are you staying at?”
“Down the
hall,” Anders pointed vaguely down the hall.
“Wake up time for tomorrow Lady?
I don’t think they provided you with an alarm so I’ll be happy to wake
you.”
“Wake me at
0630 hours Anders,” Une ordered. “I want
to inspect this place before returning to my office. You’ll be accompanying me and taking down
notes so be prepared.”
“Yes
ma’am,” Anders saluted.
Une opened
the door and closed it behind her. Without really thinking she
answered it and was greeted with the face of the Vice-Foreign Minister, Relena
Darlian Peacecraft.
“Commander
Une,” Relena bowed her head slightly in greeting. “How are you this morning?”
Lady Une
noted how fresh Relena appeared. But
then again she could apply her make-up with an expert hand. Une had seen for herself the dark circles the
young girl had just miraculously disappear for a press conference an hour
later. Relena had no visible blemishes;
she was always perfect in front of others.
“Well
enough,” Une acknowledged with a brief smile.
“And how are you Vice-Foreign Minister?”
“Just
ena ena please,” The girl smiled. “I’m
well enough. Extremely busy though, but
aren’t we all? I was wondering if you
could give me any information on Dorothy’s arrest.”
“I know
what you know Relena,” Une said.
“Certainly,”
Une promised the girl. “I hope your
words are well received if they’re in support of Dorothy.”
“Quatre and
I are hopeful,” She blushed slightly.
“Have you found out anything on Heero since he disappeared? I’ve searched everywhere I could think of but
all I’ve come up with are dead ends. I’m
worried about him Commander Une.”

“Just Une
please,” Lady Une requested. “Our people
have turned up no new leads. The other
Pilots have told me it will be almost impossible to locate Yuy again but we
will keep trying.”
“Thank you
Une,” Relena sighed slightly. “It means
a lot to me. And how is Marimeia doing?”
“Po
says she’ll make a full recovery eventually,” Une informed her. “She has a good prognosis.”
