'Lucky' by Jason Lee (aka BevrlyWong)

Warnings: None really, just my first attempt on a GW fic. I had this planned for quite awhile and I borrowed some parts from other fics so I'll give 'em credit too; I've always been a H/R fan and the song does kinda make sense. Jason Lee is a creation of mine (thus the alias and sorry for the sucky name) and he belongs to me (yeah! me! *sticks thumb to chest*). If you want some info on him just e-mail me at BevrlyWong@aol.com. Flames, C & C and anything else are welcomed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------

Disclaimers: GW belongs to Sunrise and Sotsu Agency, the boys and Relena don't belong to me (WAAAAHH!! don't we all wish we did?) excpet Jason. "Lucky" belongs to Britney Spears, the artist of the song. Don't even bother suing me; I spent my money on Anime stuff. That's it. 'Njoy!

Note: I'm not sure of this but I think I'll give credit to Pioneer on Achika because she belongs to the movie 'Tenchi Muyo in Love' but in this fic she's the older sister of Jason and she's mine! Ja!

Relena woke up with the same lonely and sinking feeling she had everyday. Almost everyday, it's always politics with new colonies to handle or boundry relationships to pacify. The name Peacecraft gave her everything any other girl could want, but those weren't the things she wanted. What she wanted was seeing Heero again. The two hadn't seen each other after Mariemeia's coup de tat, almost a year ago. Today was her 17th birthday and she was to attend the party held later tonight. Relena sighed, staring out the window. 'This would've been beautiful if I weren't so gloomy. I really wish Heero was here.' Getting up, she dressed and went downstairs to discuss the latest bill. 'At least the other pilots are coming.' Little did she know what the pilots were planning...

* * * *

"Jason, since when did you become the dj here? I thought you were working on catering!" shouted Duo across the hall. It was four hours before the start of the party and the pilots had volunteered to help, except that Heero wasn't there. Duo got stuck with decorating with Trowa since they were the tallest ones present (A.N. Duo finally hits his growth spurt but he still isn't as tall as Trowa) and they could reach higher places where the shorter pilots can't reach.

The smallest pilot grinned, fiddiling with the wires and various plugs. "Sorry, Shinigami! Quatre couldn't handle the wiring here so he decided to handle the food in the kitchen. Besides, I don't do too well when ordering things at a party and Quatre's better than I am!" Jason put on the headphones to test the sounding and when he hit the 'Play' button, he ripped the headphones off, scowling. "All right! Who's the one who cranked up the volume?!" The decoraters, caterers, technicains, and florists heard music loud enough to carry to the third floor. Everyone began to snicker. Even Quatre stuck his head out of the kitchen. "Duo! Did you do this?!" the Chinese/Japanese shouted, eyes burning a bright green.

Duo hastily held up his hands. "Innoncent! I didn't even bring my CDs!" Jason glared at him, then both heard soft chuckling from Trowa. Quatre stared at the Heavyarms pilots. "Trowa! That's not nice! You could've blown out Jason's ears!" scolded Quatre.

Wufei, helping with the florists, gave a snort. "Can it, you idiots! If we're not done with the party preparations, we'll be in trouble."

"I don't think you'll be in trouble except the other guys," said a familiar voice. The other pilots whipped their heads toward the main doorway and saw Heero, in his infamous jeans, green top, and jacket, leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed with a smirk on his face. He also looked a heck *lot* taller than before but not as tall as Trowa (A.N. I gave Heero a pretty good growth spurt just for Relena. KAWAII!!).

"Heero! What are you doing here?" asked Jason. The Japanese pilot gave a small grin.

"I'm attending tonight."

"WHAT?!" shouted the rest. "You're coming? Tonight? But what about Relena?" Quatre's head was like a spinning top and he felt like he needed to sit down. Duo had nearly fell off the ladder he was standing on and was gaping like a fish out of water. Trowa's visible eye had widened in surprise and Wufei almost sliced his finger with the shears he was working with. Jason got himself tangled with the wires at Heero's announcement and was struggling to free himself.

"Don't worry about Relena. Just don't tell her I'm here, I want her in the balcony before the cake comes in." His comrades gave each other grins. "Think you guys can handle it?" "Handle it? There's isn't anything that we can't handle, right guys?" declared Jason.

"RYOUKAI!"

"C'mon guys, let's get scrambling!" cheered Wufei and they all got to work, as Jason continued to untangle the wires. What they didn't notice was the sadness in Heero's eyes, one emotion he had never shown before.

* * * *

"Relena, are you all right?" Noin asked the millionth time while fixing the bow on the back of the dress.

Relena sighed, and gave a smile to her sister-in-law. "I'm fine, Noin. Just tired." She pointed to Noin's large belly. "You better get ready for *your* child's birthday."

Noin gave a laugh. "You're right. Wait till your brother sees this, he'll hit the roof." She gave a pat to her unborn child. Achika gave a smile as she helped Relena put on some minimal make up. "I'll bet the floor, Noin."

Catherine and Hilde snickered as they peeked in. "That'll be a sight. Come on, Relena, Everybody's waiting for you," reported Hilde. Dorothy passed the princess her mother's aquamarine necklace. "You'll be the splendor of the night, Miss Relena," said Dorothy.

"Oh, by the way. Someone's waiting for you. I'll tell you when," Catherine added, with a wink.

'I wonder who is it?' wondered Relena, as she and the others went downstairs.

* * * *

"Is she coming?" whispered Heero to Jason, who was standing behind the music players. "She'll come. Don't worry about it, just wait in the balcony," the amber eyed pilot whispered back. Heero nodded and scurried off, mingling with the crowd. Jason shook his head, thinking, 'He's changed. I think those two will be the greatest couple of all.' Duo popped out behind him, hissing, "Get ready to hit the music! She's coming and man, is she good looking or what!" The younger pilot bonked the older pilot on the head. "Snap out of it, Duo!" Duo gave a grin and skipped over to the appetizer table. Suddenly, gasps of surprise were heard.

Relena was wearing a pearly white, back-drop waist knee-length dress, with a bow at the back. Her hair was held loose with two sapphire barrets, an aquamarine diamond necklace and the make up somehow brought her eyes. The male guests were whispering among themselves.

"She's like a goddess! The honey-blonde hair, her aquamarine eyes, her Grecian nose! Like Venus, the Goddess of Love!" whispered the Duke of York, standing next to Heero.

'Yes, like a goddess,' Heero thought to himself. 'I left her as a school girl, now, she's one hell of a woman!' He stopped. 'Dammit! Get a grip on yourself, Yuy!'

"Ladies and gentlemen," started Relena, "thank you for attending my birthday. I want to thank my onii-san, for paying out of his pocket," everybody laughed at that as Milliardo looked sheepish, "and I would like congratuate him because he's about to be called 'otou-san'." Her brother stared at Noin, who gave a faint smile, and fainted to the floor. "Thank you and enjoy yourselves." She stepped down from the stairs and headed toward the food table as Noin tried to wake Milliardo up when she heard something.

"Psst! Hey, Relena!" hissed Catherine, waving her over near the balcony. "Someone's waiting for you!"

Relena gave a sigh and rose to her feet. 'If this a distraction, I swear, I'll kick that person's ass!' she thought while poilitely refusing to dance with others.

"Is she out yet? I'm getting pins and needles!" complained Jason. Quatre shushed him. "When Heero enter with Relena by his side, hit the music!" Just then, they heard a yell. Whipping their heads around, they tried to hold their laughter in: Duo was starting to get tipsy and Hilde was dragging him from the champagne to the men's room. Both prayed, 'For Lord's sake, please let this go right!'

* * * *

Relena looked around. "Guess no one's here." She sighed. "I think I'll head back to the table."

"Not yet, Relena. I won't let you go." Relena's eyes widened in surprise when she faced the speaker. Standing in front of her was Heero, a head taller than she was. As she steadied herself, she craned her neck and aquamarine met prussian, the same prussian eyes that haunted her every night. "Don't go, not yet," Heero whispered softly.

"Heero..." Relena strecthed her hand out. Heero almost expected her to caress his face but got a slap. Looking back at Relena, he saw traces of tears. "Why did you leave me, Heero? Why?" she snapped. Turning away, Relena looked at the starry sky. "Did you know how lonely I had been? Everyone says I'm lucky but I'm not." Her chin was suddenly lifted and Relena stared at those hypnotic prussian pools again. 'What the...?' her thoughts went scrambled when Heero pulled her close.

"Relena..." Heero started. "Relena, I'm sorry about that but I had to take care of some things first. Only a few days ago that I started thinking. I felt like...I just couldn't live without you by my side," he spoke softly as he stroked her hair. "All that I want now is to put behind our pasts. Will you forgive me?"

His princess looked at him in surprise, then smiled a smile like never before. "I'll forgive, Heero, but don't go walking out on me agian!" she teased and they laughed. "Care to dance?"

The Japanese gave her a grin. "Why not?"

"Go!" Quatre signaled Jason and the youngest pilot hit the play button and what came out surprised everyone, except the lovebirds outside.

*This is a story about a girl named Lucky...*

"HEY! Who switched the CDs?" Quatre looked confused and stared at Jason. Jason shrugged.

"I thought it fitted Relena. I mean, read the lyrics!" Both looked out at the audience and was surprised to see some pleased looks. "Guess they like it. I'll leave it that way. Hey, what are they looking at?" Jason stretched his neck and saw that almost everyone was watching Heero and Relena dance in the balcony, causing him to facefault.

*Early morning, she wakes up

Knock, knock, knock on the door

It's time for makeup, perfect smile

It's you they're all waiting for

They go...

"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"

And they say...*

*"She's so lucky, she's a star"

But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking

'If there's nothing missing in my life

Then why do these tears come at night'*

Duo came out with Hilde, looking sober than before and helped up Jason. "What ate you?" Jason stared at the Shinigami pilot and shook his head. Wufei came storming over with Trowa on his heels and got the poor Chinese/Japanese pilot in a headlock. "What kind of injustice is this?!" hissed the Chinese. The Alpha pilot just grinned.

"Calm down, Wufei. Let's just let those two be together," quietly said Trowa, smiling at the couple. It was a somewhat strange but happy sight: Heero, a head taller than Relena, both dancing obliviously to their audience, bathe in the moonlight which seemed to make them glow.

*Lost in an image, in a dream

But there's no one there to wake her up

And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning

But tell me what happens when it stops?

They go...

"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"

And they say...*

Zechs had woken up after hearing Relena's announcement of him being a father. "Whu-what happned?"

Noin held him up. "Nothing, Zechs. You just fainted after Relena said that I was pregnant."

Hearing his sister's name made his eyes bug out. "Where is she?" Zechs looked around, and noticed the crowd. Standing up, he walked over with Noin tagging along. "What's with the crowd?"

His wife smiled mysteriously. "Oh, something that will defenitely shock you."

After moving to the front of the crowd, the two saw Relena dancing with Heero. Zechs stared at the couple for a few moments, then started sputtering. "Of all the men she choses my rival. Of all my rivals, she choses a Gundam pilot. And of all the Gundam pilots she choses HEERO!"

Noin lightly bonked him on the head. "Shhh! Let's just watch them. They look so cute together," she told her slightly grumpy, but happy husband, while watching Duo and Jason snapping pictures of the couple. After the party in the near future, the Zero pilot would be chasing the two happy-go-lucky pilots with his gun for the absolute KAWAII (but slightly embarassing) pictures of him and Relena dancing.

*"She's so lucky, she's a star"

But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking

'If there's nothing missing in my life

Then why do these tears come at night'*

*"Best actress, and the winner is...Lucky!"

"I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News standing outside the arena waiting for Lucky,

"Oh my god...here she comes!"*

Wufei noticed that the paparazi weren't around for the first time. "Hey, where's the press? I thought they'd be around for the cake and ice cream." Jason looking up from his camera, answered, "Oh, I asked the Maganacs to keep them out." The Arabian nodded, and added, "Besides, we didn't want to spoil Miss Relena's birthday with the press." Outside, the Maganacs were having their hands full on keeping reporters and photographers from getting in.

Rasheed was bellowing at the press. "No! We have orders that no one from any news group to be allowed inside so leave!"

Every Maganac member had surrounded the entire mansion and was kept busy kicking out reporters or photographers that had snuck into the mansion.

*Isn't she lucky, this Hollywood girl?

She is so lucky, but why does she cry?

If there's nothing missing in her life

Why do tears come at night?

And they say...*

*"She's so lucky, she's a star"

But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking

'If there's nothing missing in my life

Then why do these tears come at night'*

Unbeknownst to everyone, Heero and Relena were whispering to each other.

"Heero..."

"Hn...?"

"I want you to promise me..."

"Promise you what?" Relena rested her head on his chest.

"Promise me that you won't leave me alone again..." Heero looked down at Relena and saw tears from her eyes. He smiled as he wiped them away, answering, "How about if you marry me? Then I won't leave you alone." Relena looked delighted at the idea of marrying Heero and she agreed. An image of Zechs hitting the roof or ranting at their marriage proposal brought smirks to the dancing couple. Looking into each other's eyes again, they closed in for a kiss.

*She's so lucky

But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking

'If there's nothing missing in my life

Then why do these tears come at night'*

When the song ended and the two pulled apart, Relena blushing and Heero smiling, everyone started clapping loudly. Duo started giving cat-calls till Hilde bonked him on the head when people started staring.

"WOO! Yeah! You go Yuy!" *BONK* "Ow! Why'd you do that for, Hilde?"

Hilde glared him. "Shut up and be on your best behavior, Duo!"

"Awwwwww...."

Jason gave a grin and added, "And no alcohol for the rest of the night!"

Duo pouted. "Party poopers."

Heero just then grabbed a spoon and tapped on a champagne glass he snatched from a waiter. Everybody immediately quieted down.

"I have an announcement to make, folks. I've decided to marry Relena Peacecraft..." everyone starting cheering while the pilots stared, slack jaw, "...if her onii-san would agree," finished Heero, looking pointedly at Milliardo. "Zechs," the Zero pilot tended to use Milliardo's other name, "do I have your permission to marry Relena?" The guests held a bated breath. The elder Peacecraft 'hmm'ed for a bit before smiling.

"Heero Yuy...you have my permission..." and that caused everyone to applause (Duo somehow found the champagne bottles Jason had hid and opened them, showering the guests with champagne) and cheer loudly. Through the congratulations, Heero whispered something only for Relena's ears.

"Aishiteru Relena."

Relena smiled and answered before they kissed again. "Aishiteru...Heero."

*~END~*
