"Relena, will you marry me?" Quatre's earnest blue eyes looked into Relena's shocked gaze. Still kneeling, the young man continued, "I know it's a bit sudden, but..."
"You're damn right it's sudden! Especially since you're still with Dorothy!" Duo snarled as he interupted the moment, fists clenched at his side as he glared at his former comrade. "What were you going to do, marry both of them and have a threesome?"
Quatre slowly stood, never breaking eye contact with the glowering American. "Of course not! Dorothy would be my mistress - I'm sure Relena has no problem with this...."

Relena sat up with a gasp, her eyes wildly looking around her darkened bedroom. A small breeze ruffled the curtains hanging by the open window, and the sounds of frogs serenading each other could be gently heard.
"Oh, thank god," Relena murmured, one hand held to her chest, trying to stop her heart from leaping free and running away in terror. She loved Quatre dearly...but that dream had been headed for nightmare status.
*sigh* "Now to try and fall back asleep," she whispered, falling back on the pillows with a thump.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This is wonderful, Heero, thank you," Relena whispered sincerely, taking the time to enjoy the view. Heero had surprised her earlier in the evening by taking her to a romantic restaurant. She had been given flowers, serenaded by the wait staff, and the couple was currently the only people on the dance floor.
Relena closed her eyes in anticipation, hoping the evening would end the way she thought it was headed. A moment later her wish was granted.
"Relena," Heero murmured, twirling her out and back in gently, holding her close. "Will you marry Wufei?"
"Yes!...What? Who? Heero?" Relena could only stutter, imagining her ears were deceiving her.
Heero stared. "Wufei. He wanted to ask you to be his wife, but you know how he is. When he gets nervous, he giggles. He didn't think you'd appreciate that."

For the second night in a row, Relena was startled from sleep. It appeared she had made some sound in her sleep, for a moment later Zechs stuck his head in the door.
"Relena? Everything alright?"
Relena tried to smile, "Yes, brother, everything is fine. A dream...startled me, is all."
"If you're sure...good night, Relena. Pleasant dreams."
"Good night, Zechs."

They were walking along a familiar stretch of beach, she and Heero, having taken a break from their respective work. Being your boyfriend's boss did have it's advantages, Relena mused. One being having the ability to steal private time whenever one felt like it.
It was fall, and the air was beginning to turn crisp, gathering that faint hint of smell that betokened winter approaching. It was her favorite time of year, when the changing color of the trees seemed almost magical.
Heero stopped, pulling her back to him with a gentle tug on her hand. Words were not needed between the two. The silence was more intimate than a touch or a turn of phrase, and Relena filed it away as a special memory.
"Relena," Heero almost sighed her name, causing her to shiver. There was something about the way he pronounced her name that made her feel very feminine.
A nagging feeling began in Relena's mind, and with sudden clarity she remembered her previous dreams.
"No. Whoever you're asking for, no. And none of the other guys had better pop out of no where and ask if we're joining a threesome. I've had it, Heero Yuy. I'm only going to marry you, and I'm not sharing you with anyone else, so live with it!" Relena shouted, angrily turning around, daring something bizarre to happen.
When she finally turned back to Heero, he was wearing an odd expression. "...So, are you saying you are going to marry me, or not? You lost me somewhere around 'the other guys' bit." Heero quirked an eyebrow, and it was then Relena realized he was laughing at her.
"I..er, I meant....you never asked me," Relena blurted out, her hard won speaking skills momentarily lost.
"As if I have a choice now," Heero grinned, going down on one knee. "Relena Peacecraft, will you marry me?"
"Oh, Heero...yes. Just, er...please don't mention my little 'speech' to anyone?"
Heero smiled, kissing her softly as he placed the ring on her finger. "Love you. Always and forever," he murmured.
"Love you too, always and forever."

2 Days later:

"Relena, will you marry me?"
"No, she's going to marry me, Blondie"
"Ha, I think not. She's joining me and Sally in our love nest...."
Relena backed away from the three advancing pilots, only to bump in to someone. Looking back, she sighed with relief at seeing Trowa.
"Trowa, thank god..."
"Yes, love muffin? Are they bothering you? Let's run away to Vegas now, before they can still you from me...."
Relena 'eeped', then turned a thoughtful look at the men surrounding her.
"Heero Yuy! I'm going to kill you!"

OMG! LS that was just hysterical!

The Wufei bit had me laughing so hard I had to stop and compose myself. And poor Heero. Talk about a way to ruin the moment!

LoL!!! That was terrific! Thanks for sharing!
