"Tell me how you've never felt
Delicate or innocent
Do you still have doubts that
Us having faith makes any sense"
From Show Me Love by t.a.t.u.
Chapter one
Relena stared out the glass window at the expanse of the out streached beach that lay infront of the Sanc castle. Sighing to herself at her spaceyness as of late, she turned away from the window to continue getting dressed. The aniversary was tonight, it'd been a year since the conjoining kingdom had finally agreed to join the treaty pact between Earth and Space, a year since they brought down the weapon smugglers with in that kingdom, and six months since Heero's and her divore had been finalized. Time had gone by much more quickly than she had orginally anticapated, and she'd handled the divorce crazed media rather well through out the past year.
Heero was now living with Duo, not as a couple but as comrades and friends who shared a similar past. He'd resigned his position as her personal gaurd and in his place Wufei had gracefully excepted the calling. Wufei had gone up a pay grade and rank by taking the job, for now he was Captain of her personal gaurds, but unlike Heero and other Captains before him Wufei was her right hand man. This was comforting to her most days, and the days that it was stressful--the days where rumors would be heard there was something between them-- he handled her rudeness with more patients than she had ever given him credit for. Smiling at her reflection in the mirror she was glad that the past year had happened, she was a year older and several years wiser.
A knock at her bedroom door sounded and she turned away from the reflection and walked to the door opening it. Stepping out of her room and closing it behind her she quickly took the proffered hand of the Chineseman who awaited her and they quietly walked down the hall towards the main stairs where she would make her grand appearance. Her sleek midnight blue spegetti strap evening gown draged a foot behind as she walked, her hair up in tight bun random curls hanging about her face, and dimonds hung dantily around her neck and from her peirced ears.
Glancing over at Wufei he was wearing the custimary black uniform of his posistion, the silver medalions and patches gleaming brightly when they caught the light of the chandilers, his raven black hair pulled back in a Chinese queue, the braid hanging down to his waist, and his head cover tucked under his right arm. Wufei was walking uniformity in her eyes. He was never, as all the military men and women put it, jacked up. Always clean cut and organized she never saw him out of uniform, and the days he had off he wore his usual Chinese inherited clothes of silk and rich colors. The man never looked like a regular citizen and Relena smiled at the thought.
"The Cousleman of China's Kingdom, Zwang Po Li, is here already and he is not in the best of moods. I've looked into it and word has it his eldest daughter has appostized and married a less fortunate man instead of the man he had for her. So do not mention Sa Lings' name at all, for she no longer exsists. I suggest talking about his newly born Son of one month, his name is Ping Li. He seems very proud when people mention him, it is his first son after all. A rep from the space colony L3 cluster sends his sincere apologies that Cousleman Jouqu Quea could not make it. There was a death in the family though he doesn't say who and the reps name is Jhon Dnale. Are you following me so far?" Wufei explained to her.
"Don't mention daughter ask about son, and send condolances through the rep to the Cousleman, and explain that it is really alright that he did not show." Relena replied.
"Good. Now, our next door neighbors' feathers are still ruffled from the fiasco that went down when we incarcerated key members of the board last year. The new Cousleman Redman has already thanked us for getting rid of the bad apples, but we know he is not completely happy with the fact that his people didn't get off with just a slap on the hand. So I suggest focussing most of your attention on him tonight it will leave things on better terms between the two of you. His favorate topics are his children, how beautiful his wife looks, and how well he is doing in his posistion. So dote on him without making it sound like you are kising his ass." Wufei continued.
"Okay so I tell him how great he is but also give him small improvements that will give him better standing with the rest of the world and space leaders. This way he feels that I appreciate what he is already doing, that I favor him, and I am givng him tips on how to rise above the rest." Relena concluded.
"Right."
"Seems easy enough." Relena joked.
"Yes well, you can't forget that Couslewoman Zepair's husban recently died and she is here only because he would have wanted it. She is soon to be resigning and her replacement is here with her, Clara Spar. Pay close attention to her and you will get a feel of what to expect from her. She has a strong head on her shoulders, I imagen she'll give the whole bunch of you a head ache. Then there is the matter of Cousleman Lane's out right march for gay power in the system, he has brought his lover with him and his name is Jake Stepper, he refers to himself as the Cousleman's partner. L2's own Lida Powers has decided to grace us with her presance and her two eldest daughters as well, Grace and Winter. Winter who's 13 is the black haired one, and Grace is the 19 year old brown haired girl, both are polight and seemly, and both take after their mother." Wufei told Relena who winced. " Ofcoarse you know your Brother and Winner and we can't forget your best friend Catalonia."
"Dorothy is here?" Relena asked brightening.
"Yes and she is already hackling members of the board with her lovely personality and charm." Wufei replied.
"I'm glad she was able to make it. I simply would not have made it through the night without her crude behavor and witty humor." Relena anouced cheerily.
"Yes... well... I can see why." Wufei answered tonelessly.
"Oh stop it Wufei." Relena chided. "Admitt it, the night would have dragged on forever and would have been so boring."
"Yes now I can spend my night trying to make sure a cat fight doesn't insue because she decides to blithly tell Lida how fat she is, how she'd be doing a better job herself, how many times she's out ranked her when it comes to popularity with the people, and how her daughters would be so much better off dead than with their mother. Yes Yes my night couldn't get anymore exciting than that." Wufei commented dryly.
Relena only laughed slightly before she found herself in front of the staircase, and her presance being anounced over the speakers. Gracefully begining to desend the giant white carpeted marble stair case she smiled kindly and waved to the media and flashing cameras, while Wufei just stared straight forward looking out for indangerments of her person. Reaching the bottom of the stairs she was quickly surrounded by Couslemen and Women who had questions, condolences and concerns about the past year of her life. Generously answering each one she then would do the same in return to all those she met along the way towards the food table.
Finally milling her way through the crowd she breathed a sigh of relief while picking up a champaign glass as the server walked past. Turning back towards the crowd she sipped her drink and looked around trying to see those who took upmost importance, and those who she wished to just talk to as friends would do. Seeing Quatre having similar problems as she had just had, and walking in her direction she smiled caringly to him and recieved a similar smile in response.
"Ah how glad I am to see someone I like." Quatre wispered into Relena's ear who giggled.
"I know the feeling," she replied. "I don't supose you've seen my brother?"
"Not since we arrived. The last I saw him he was surrounded by young single females and then carted off upon laughs, giggles, and awws." He aswered.
"The poor man." Wufei mummbled under his breath and Quatre smirked.
"You're not jealous are you my good sir?"
"Of coarse not Winner. I was just stating the fact that I'm sure it pains him so to be surrounded by a bunch of fawning women who would pay to sleep with him, Hell they'd pay just to get a single hi from him."
"So true." Quatre cooed while sipping his own drink.
"You two stop talking about my brother as though he is a male jiggalo." Relena repremanded them.
"Oh do forgive me kind lady." Quatre replied to her taking her right hand in his own and placing a kiss atop it.
"I supose I shall." She said in return smiling at him while she took her hand back.
"I only speak truth so I will not be apologizing for anything." Wufei announced to them.
"I didn't think you would Captain Chang," Relena answered. "I really didn't think you would."

Relena slipped off her high heels as she sat at the table of the practically empty hall. Those who were left from the earlier party were only her close friends and their body gaurds so she found herself more occupied with relieving some of the pain than being lady like and leaving her shoes on infront of company. Tossing her shoes off to the side a slight distance she sat back up in her chair and smiled at the other woman across from her wearing a white strapless evening gown and black jewls her hair down and in tight curls.
"So Dorothy what do you plan on doing next once we come to the point of resigning?" Relena asked conversationally.
"Oh you know, take over the world, destroy all men, turn the time into a time of Amazon women, the usual." She jested shrugging.
Relena laughed before repling. "Seriously though do you have plans?"
"Well actually I would like to find myself a nice man who doesn't mind my personality and bossiness, settle down with my millions, and no children I'm not a huge fan of them and they don't particularly like me."
"You think it might have something to do with the fact that you're evil?" Wufei replied leaning back in a chair to the left side of Relena.
"Hm... might be it Wufei thank you." She said in reply.
"Do you two ever stop?" Relena asked in exasperation.
"Neh Lena, if they haven't stoped now they never plan to." Duo interrupted cheerily taking a seat at the near by table next to Heero and Quatre.
"Your right."
"So Miss Relena," Dorothy paused. "The world wants to know. What do you plan on doing once reaching retirement?"
"Well, I guess I'd like to find myself someone who compliments me, and we can leave this stuffy world of politics to somewhere nice and cozy. I'd love to have a daughter and/or son and we would raise them to be caring, but sensable, children. that sort of thing. I would never hide the truth of the war from them though, I think that would be wrong to blind them to the sacrifices made and the pain caused because of it." Relena replied everyone in the room falling silent.
"It wouldn't be the same for them even if you did Peacecraft. They didn't live through it like we all did, it wouldn't have the same effect on them. We grew up in a time of war we will always think diffrently than anybody else, your children, mine, Maxwell's, Yuy's, your brother's they will never see like we do. The best it would do is make them wiry of another war, it would never stop them in the end. The saying is true war, this life we live, is nothing but an Endless Walzt doomed to repeat itself again and again." Wufei answered back quietly.
"As much as I hate to agree with Fei on this one he's probably right. I mean how many diffrent wars were before us? It sucks but once kids reach a certain age its their choice, they take over after us and that's it, we nolonger have the power to stop them. It's a scary thought but it's one we should prepare for." Duo said.
"The pain, hate, anger, and saddness we all felt can't be duplicated and put into the future leaders of our world. The tears, sweat, and blood we shed for causes unknown to most can never mean the same thing to someone who didn't fight for their freedom." Heero added.
"I know," Relena conceeded. "But if I can raise my children to make sensable choices then maybe, if there is another war, they will be able to realize that everyone has to want the same thing or it will never end. I want them to understand it's human nature to want to rule over one another, but they do not have to succumb to such a fate, they can fight for what's truly right," she paused. "The freedom of everyone."
"Now there is something that every child should know." Quatre replied with a smile reaching over and placing his hand on hers. "There's a future I would not mind growing old to see."
"Here here." Dorothy said raising her glass in a toast.
"Yes, lets make a toast to the world and future Relena has just purposed." Zechs stated walking futher into the room, picking up a glass of wine, and raising it into the air.
Relena looked around to see all her close friends raise a glass in toast for her future and she smiled raising her own. "To a future where children understand to fight for freedom, not dominance."
"Cheers!" Everyone announced at the same time clinking their respective glasses with everyone elses.

Well here's chapter one of my sequel to Loosing grip. I know it's short but it didn't seem right to alow anything from the following chapter to be in this one. The flow would have been off. I never thought while writing the other one that I would be struck with an idea for a sequel. Well I hope you guys enjoy my Relena excentric sequel story. It's alot harder than I thought to write a story that centers around her. OMGosh! And tank you to those who read Loosing grip and thank you to the reader that took the time to review it, you helped jump start my muses to write this story!
On another note again I wish to apologize for not updating my other stories. I feel absolutely horrible about it all. I do promise you though that I have started the next chatper in all of them I've just reached points that are hard to get past. As for Colliding Dimensions I'm not sure I will be able to continue that one unless someone can help me figure out how to access a flopy disk that says it isn't formatted anymore without eraseing everything on it. The chapter is done I just can't get to it to proof read it and all that lovely stuff.
