Standard stuff: Gundam Wing is not mine, but I do enjoy playing around with it some. My intent is purely for entertainment purposes only and no money is being made on this work. 

Greetings, been wanting to try something a little different so here goes. This fic jumps around a lot in the beginning from the POV of both Heero and Relena. It may start a little confusing but I hope it should flow better toward the end. Don't know if anyone has any interest in seeing this continued. So if you do leave a note if it is not too much trouble and I'll post some more. Thanks for your time and as always hope you enjoy...

-All that you leave behind-

“Have you ever wondered what our lives may have been like without war?”

“I don’t think about things I can not change.”

Duo smiled faintly. “Really?”

Heero nodded and picked up the cup in front of him and starred down at the black liquid that it held. He moved his hand several times swishing the liquid around, then watched the ripples fade before finally answering Duo his voice steady. “I wouldn’t have said it if I didn’t mean it.”

Duo sighed blowing out the air in his lungs shaking his head slowly. “I don’t believe you.”

“You don’t have too.” Heero responded flatly his attention still on the cup.

“No, I don’t suppose I do. It’s just that, well don’t you ever just wonder about things? Things you can change in the world, your life maybe?”

Heero looked up and met eyes with Duo “Someone once told me life is our chance to live for eternity.”

Duo allowed a slightly puzzled look to grab his face. “What does that mean Heero?”

“I can’t answer that for you… it is something that only you can decide.” Heero replied and sat his cup down on the kitchen table before him. He stood and took his jacket from the seat behind him then nodded to his friend.

“One question and don’t dodge it before you go." Duo pleaded. "Have you found the meaning yourself?”

Heero didn’t answer but instead quietly headed for the backdoor of Duo’s house leaving Duo with one parting thought. “Tell Hilde she makes good coffee.”

“Heh, I will.” Duo said smiling as he heard the back door close knowing Heero hadn’t taken one sip from his cup.

Duo leaned back in his chair and thought about what Heero had just said to him. Right when he thought he had him figured out Heero would throw him for another loop. 'Guess we all take things to seriously.' He thought loosing his smile.

Several minutes later Hilde walked into the kitchen. “Did Heero leave?”

“Yeah a few minutes ago.” Duo answered.

Hilde yawned as she walked over to Duo grabbing his hand. “C’mon lets go to bed.”

“Do I take things too seriously?” Duo asked her before he stood.

She smiled at her husband. "Only when you have too and that's why I love you."

Duo grinned and followed her to bed.

“And now at this turning point in our shared history, we continue to forge peace in the hearts and souls of our dreams and realities. I thank you and God bless.”

Relena Darlian finished her speech in front of the student and faculty alumni at one of the largest Universities on L2. The crowd stood and applauded for the young woman wildly. She lowered her head slightly in gratitude and made her way from the podium.

“Minister wonderful speech!”

“Thank you Dean. You’re very kind.” She returned with a weak smile. Relena had jumped to three different colonies this week, and to say she was tired was an understatement. While she loved her job, the lack of sleep sometimes associated with it, could dampen the days. She turned her head and found Maggie her assistant smiling re-enforcing Relena to chug on through the late marathon dinner that she still had to attend. Relena casually looked down at her watch that read 9:11pm. Dinner would last a few hours she sighed. Silently Relena promised herself a warm cup of tea back in her Hotel room after the events for the evening were all wrapped up.

It wasn't long before she was escorted to a lounge for drinks and a few faculty members questioned her about the on going terra-formation process on Mars. Ever the diplomat Relena put on her best face and proceeded to answer the questions with grace and a smile.

Though as she expected dinner turned out to be epic. Several courses, drinks, and short speeches by many brought the evening to a close. Relena glanced down at her watch that now read 12:21am. She forcefully blinked her eyes a few times elated the night was over. Graciously parting with her hosts found Relena collapsing in her limo where her eyes begged for five minutes rest. She happily obliged as Maggie closed the door and gave the driver the go ahead to take them off.

**

Heero glanced at the clock in his car. It read twelve twenty seven in the am. He blinked the weight on his tired eyes now becoming a chore to keep open. He didn’t relish the empty bed awaiting him. Over time he had found himself re-evaluating his life on several different levels and finding a need to expand his days beyond work. Duo had introduced him to several lady friends but in the end that’s all they were to him, friends. Reluctantly he admitted to himself that in all his travels only one person made him feel something… something he didn’t know how to explain really. But he knowingly lived with the fact that he had made decisions years ago that would rue his life for a long time and taking the time he needed at the time was a necessary sword of fate. He was young and so was she perhaps some things were better left unsaid the thought uncomfortably. He wasn't used to questioning himself and his feelings so much in this manner.

 “Who’s eternity are you living for?” He whispered and applied more pressure to the accelerator causing the car to rev and perform to the new task laid out before it. The weight on his eyes lifted and the muscles in his body tensed as he began responding to the automobile.

Relena found herself in front of the student and alumni body at the University again fielding questions as they came in one by one. None really caught her as interesting till the end when one caught her off guard and the voice asked the question was so familiar.

 “Minister what is true peace?”

Relena turned her head slowly searching for the voice she was sure just asked her the question. ‘Where is he?’ She questioned silently her eyes narrowing swiftly searching the crowd. Then she found him, unrurely brown hair and intense blue eyes starred up at her. His face was solemn but looked somewhat inviting. She blinked twice quickly to make sure she wasn’t seeing things then held her hand out motioning the man to come up to her.

His face relaxed and he offered a faint smile. Casually the man took a step forward, nodded his head in understanding then slowly turned and walked away disappearing into the crowd. Her face fell and her mind screamed for her to take off after him. But she didn’t move. Her legs wouldn’t budge. Silently she called his name.

“Minister...?"

"Minister?” Maggie shook Relena lightly pulling her out of the dream world she had fallen into.

Relena opened her eyes and changed her posture quickly startled.

“Minister are you okay?” Maggie asked again cautiously. Relena turned to Maggie and nodded giving a weak smile. “I’m fine must have dozed off, just startled a bit. It’s been a long week.”

Maggie decided not to bring up the name she was mumbling instead she nodded in agreement. “Sleep is the first and only order of business on my schedule tonight.”

“Sounds like a good idea.” Relena responded absently as she allowed her eyes to study the hydroponic farms in the distance trying to reclaim her short dream in detail. After all these years and at some of the most inopportune times Heero Yuy haunted her dreams. We were kids she tried to reassure herself, caught up in a war. Six years is a long time to still be having these dreams she thought as she glanced down at the ring that adorned her left hand. She had been engaged now for three months but the wedding was still six months away. Recently though Heero had been on her mind heavily. ‘When will I let him ago?’ she asked herself for what must have been the thousandth time.

“How long until we reach the Hotel?” She asked Maggie slightly frustrated.

“About fifteen minutes.” She replied.

Relena sighed and turned her attention back to the window.

Heero turned the car sharply weaving a masterful pattern across the colony to his home. The car responded to his commands with ease and grace. Skillfully he danced across lanes avoiding other cars by inches. It wasn’t long until he was out of the city district and driving along an quiet road that bordered some water and a few hydroponic farms. This stretch reminded him of a seashore drive back on earth. Curvy roads and elevated lands made for an interesting drive. Approaching the crest of a large hill found Heero letting up on the speed his car was maintaining. As he neared the top bright lights lit the immediate sky up but the lights originated from the middle of the road. Suddenly a long black limousine came cruising over the hill with a direct path of Heero in its way. He swerved quickly as the driver of the other car did the same. The cars came precious inches form hitting and screeching tires screamed for all to hear.

Heero stopped his car from going into spin then slammed on his brakes and placed his car in park quickly jumping out. He watched the limo fish tail the driver fighting for control. It wasn’t long before the driver lost his battle with the limousine and smacked head first into a guardrail bringing it to a stop.

Without hesitation Heero ran over to the car and found the driver door locked. Mustering all the force he could, he smashed the window open with his elbow and unlocked the door pulling the driver out. The safety mechanisms had saved the drivers life, his pulse was steady and Heero could detect no visible wounds. Satisfied the driver was fine for the moment Heero moved back to the rear of the car removing his phone from his pocket and dialed for help. 

**

Relena pulled herself up off the seat of the car moving her hair from her face rubbing her head, which was pounding. Her vision was slightly blurred. “Maggie?” She called. But she didn’t respond. Relena moved over to Maggie and lifted her head to check her pulse, which was faint, but there. Her head had a large gash on it that flowed with blood. Precious seconds later the door to the car opened and the voice from her dreams called out to her aid.

**

“Agent ND-8754 code seven. Need medical assistance and evac trace my signal now.” Was all he said into the phone setting it down on the roof of the limo so his location could be pinpointed. He turned his attention to the rear door of the car. He pulled and opened the door with ease speaking, “Is everyone okay in there?”

His eyes barely had time to adjust but he knew the soft blue eyes starring back at him. “Relena?” He questioned unsure if his mind and eyes were deceiving him.
