Relena looked down at the big blue ocean from the clouds. Regardless of the
carefree way that heaven provided her, she was bored. Reincarnation never
happened because when she came before the High Council she didn't want to be
reborn. It would only cause her more pain.
All she wanted was to have the happy life she never had on Earth. Her life was
cut short by war. Relena and her family was killed when the army of the Anglaise
nation took over the palace of the Cinq Kingdom. The whole royal family,
including Relena, were murdered in their beds.
Relena watched over the survivors of the massacre, making sure they weren't
harmed by the Anglaiseans. There was only one of her friends left from her
kingdom's massacre. Her best friend, Quatre Raberba Winner. It seemed all of
them deserved to live. Even though she was an
angel, she could still feel his pain.
"I guess when you grow up with someone who has been your best friend since
you were only 2, someone who understands and knows you better than yourself,
even death cannot break that bond. I wish I could give Quatre some of my
strength to help him" whispered Relena.
"Is that what you want?" asked a voice.
"What do you mean?" replied Relena.
"Do you wish to help your friend?" responded the voice.
"Yes" whispered Relena.
"Alright. If you can convince Heero, the angel of death, to spare your
friend, it will be done." said the voice. Relena was consumed by a blinding
white light. When she could see again, she was in Quatre's hospital room. Relena
had a look of sadness on her face as she went to Quatre's bedside.
"Quatre, please open your eyes" whispered Relena. As Relena sat beside
her friend, a lone figure watched from the shadows. 'She's beautiful' he
thought. As much as it hurt his heart, to see this woman suffer, he had a job to
do. His idle thoughts were broken when Relena spoke.
"I know you're there" she said.
"How can you see me?" asked Heero.
"Because I'm an angel" replied Relena.
"Get out of my way" said Heero.
"Like hell I'm gonna let you take my friend before his time" said
Relena. Heero just glared at her.
"Regardless of you think, I know at least one of my friends deserves a
chance to live and be happy" Relena said. Heero looked into her eyes. They
were filled with just determination and sadness. He just couldn't say no.
"It is done" said Heero as he vanished.

3 weeks later
Relena was staring down at the ocean from the clouds. Over the past 3 weeks, she
had watched Quatre waken and get stronger everyday. As for Heero, he was no
longer the angel of death, and he took his place among the souls of heaven.
Relena saw him from time to time. They hadn't spoken since that day.
"Hello Relena" said Heero as he watched Relena turn around to face
him.
"Hello Heero" said Relena. Heero just stared at this beautiful goddess
in front of him. He couldn't stand it anymore. He had to kiss her. Heero pulled
Relena to him and covered her lips with his. The couple broke apart breathless a
few minutes later.
"What was that for?" asked Relena.
"To show you how much I love you" replied Heero.
"Love me?" asked Relena.
"Yes, love you. I've loved you since I first saw you. I finally found the
happiness that eluded me on Earth" said Heero.
"I love you too" said Relena as she pulled him to another kiss. After
the kiss ended, they both turned to look at the ocean, both holding onto each
other, relishing in happiness that they hadn't found in life.
Relena held onto her angel of death. Heero looked at the woman in his arms. She
was his light, his soul, his angel.
AN: I know the plot is probably dumb and confusing, but I came up with this in
30 minutes during Study Hall!
