Part Four- I Dream of Yume

~

Heero returned to his dormitory room and started some coffee. He then moved towards a table and pulled out his beloved laptop.

Still operates like clockwork.

Heero opened his email to see two messages. One of them was from user ?Ohjonathon?.

?Hmm? rather vein for a fencing captain?? Heero noted. He scrolled through the email to see nothing he couldn?t figure out himself: he had made the Highbridge fencing team.

The second email interest Heero far more:

Message sent May 18

Heero,

That?s great that you?re doing something for a change. Fencing, huh? You?ll have a slight advantage at that, won?t you?
Heero, are you going to be locked up at school forever? I mean? well, you know what I mean. Zero contact? forever?
I guess I was like that at St. Gabriel?s? but things have changed, right? Sometimes it would be nice to be able to experience those things again, but I love my job, so I?m not complaining.

?There, that?s the last one!? Relena said with a smile. She finished her last bit of paperwork for the day, and was about to finally go to bed. She was tired, but grateful for what was coming- she knew that since Noin and Zechs were temporarily back from working on the Terra Formation Project, she would have *slightly* less work to do every day for a few months. Success!

Relena changed into something more comfortable and turned on her TV. She glanced through the vast array of movies she had, wanting to watch something to get her mind off of? everything. She found a nice Hong Kong comedy a popped it into her DVD player.

She was asleep before the opening titles were finished.

Relena woke with a start. She looked around at the familiar place, and at the familiar bed she was in. But she felt uneasy.

?Why do I feel like this isn?t right?? she thought aloud. ?Oh well??

Relena got dressed in her red uniform. She then headed downstairs to have a quick breakfast with her mother and father. She saw her father sitting at the table.

?Good morning, Father!? she said cheerily. Suddenly, her father disappeared. Relena apparently didn?t think this was too weird, though. She took her seat at the huge, long table and waited to be served.

?Here you are, Miss Relena.?

A plate of food appeared in front of her. ?Thank you, Pagan.? Relena looked down to eat it, and it was already gone.

?Let?s go, Pagan,? she called to her butler. They headed out the door for school.

When Relena arrived at school, she felt the uneasy feeling she had that morning. She brushed in off. She strolled into class to see her friends, but when they greeted her, they all spoke Chinese. In fact, everyone around her spoke Chinese.

?Um, I think I better go?? she said. She rushed out of the room and out of the building. Outside, she looked to the sky to see that it was suddenly night. She looked across the lawn to see Heero sitting on a bench. She rushed towards him, but suddenly, a boy appeared in her path, blocking her from Heero.

?Quatre??

?Hello, Miss Relena. There is something you need to see,? he said in a very normal tone.

?But I need to see Heero.?

?That will come in time. Walk this way.? He motioned her to face the opposite direction. Quatre waved his hand, and suddenly a picture appeared in the sky, of Relena lying motionless on a bed.

?What is this??

?Exposition,? he said. He then faced her and began to speak in rhyme:

Don?t be alarmed, the girl lies here
And isn?t sick or dead,
But ?worked herself until exhaust?
Ergo she lies here in this bed.

She fainted and she fell
Her body limp and lame,
So her family sent her away
And to me she came.

But don?t be fooled by what I say
Because all but I were deceived,
By my suggest she fakes her ills
So to him she could be received.

She?ll soon make tracks to a certain place
To find him once again,
And no one else will know
Her family believing she?s on the mend.

But her reasons are not selfish
This isn?t a pleasure cruise,
She?ll need to get him out of there
Before another can light the fuse?

Relena stared blankly at Quatre. What did he mean? She turned to look him in the eye, but slowly Quatre? morphed? into someone else. A boy, about Quatre?s age, with bleach-blond hair (his dark roots were showing) and with almond eyes similar to Heero?s.

?Who are you??

?I am the Dream. Yume,? the boy said.

?Why are you here?? she asked.

?I need to warn you. Adam doesn?t have much time left, and neither do I, if you don?t help.?

?Who is Adam?? Relena asked.

The boy pointed to the bench behind them, where Heero sat. ?He has been found, and in two weeks, something terrible will happen. You must tell him. Find him. Unless you no longer value his life? but I somehow doubt that. Do what you have to do, without analyzing your thoughts beforehand. No matter what the consequences, if you know you have to, then it must be done? Find your light??

?That?s what Dule said? Wait, what is going to happen to him??

The boy slowly morphed into another familiar face.

?They?ll all die?? rang the voice of none other than Dule Ledger.

?Oh no? Heero!?

Relena woke with a start, only this time it was for real. She looked around her real room, and at the still-playing DVD.

?A dream??

~End

Sorry that this chapter was kind of short.

Also, for those of you that don?t know, ?Yume? is Japanese for ?dream?.
