I love dorothy!!! So everyone back off *glares* She has her talents and purposes, some fics portray her wrong, but this one is fairly close if not perfect to displaying how she truly is.
Dorothy is a kind person, just secretly kind and very cunning. I can't remember which fic it was but someone put it perfectly. Lets say their iw going to be a party and one of the guest who is staying at the residence had her dress ruined, and thus had nothing to wear. Dorothy is not the type of person who would give a dress outright to the person, instead she would just leave it mysteriously in their room for that person to find later on that evening.
Besides, she tells relena the truth while no else will, that is a kindness, for relena is now no longer ignorant to what is being said about her and can now deal with the situation when and how she chooses. Dorothy is very loyal person, and is now loyal to relena, which can only be a good thing!
Anyway, i love this fic, and i want the next chapter, so get it out soon!

Beware - ramblings of an over-analytical brain!
*Looks around for signs of boss* 
Yes, I can't believe I'm doing this at work, but eh, I need something to distract me from the bowels (bug fixes...ick!) of the programming world at the moment. Why did I decide to make this my career choice again?
The next several lines will be filled with the ramblings of an overanalytical brain which has not yet received it's usual dose of coffee this morning. So, procede at your own risk!
Ok...in view of Dorothy's recent appearance in this chapter, I really think it's going to make the story all the more interesting. Dorothy is a person who revels in conflict (whether it be physical or otherwise). Therefore, no matter what side she's on, putting some tension between the supposed couple will make the whole issue between the preventors and Cole more interesting as well as the 'emotional termoil' between Heero and Relena. Now having gotten involved and stirred the pot, she'll be able to take a front row seat and watch the play unfold before her eyes.
On the other hand, as a complete junky of this fic, I'm almost ready to melt into a puddle of goo on the floor. Why? Because a more complicated scenario means more chapters, more twists and turns, and a longer wait to find out what the heck is going to happen. NO!
*Steps off soap box*
As to Heero...hmm...well, I think this fic very well illustrates the battle between the soldier and the man, which, in my opinion, Heero seems to face in the series and in Endless Waltz. A solider's duty is to carry out orders...even to the point of death, removing any and all obstacles that may prevent 'mission fulfillment.' And as we are all aware, Heero's days as the perfect solider, or carrying out all orders, began to fail the day Relena stepped into the picture.
Heero has become personally involved in this particular mission. Whether he is in love with Relena or not, he does care at least to the extent that she not be hurt. Duo's monologue stated it plainly. Heero follows his emotions in his decision making, but not in his actions.
Logically speaking, views of right and wrong are relative. Because of that, what you think may be a result of what you've been taught to think. During the series, Heero's logic proved to be faulty and he made mistakes based on that. That made him remember the advice he was given to follow your emotions and he decided that that was what he was going to live by from that point on. I don't think he realized exactly all that that entailed at the time. After all, he, along with everyone else, was a little lost.
There's no guide book or military order that can help you to do that. No one can tell you how to feel or what you should feel. It simply is. What you do as a result of those feelings is entirely up to you.
Heero faced a dilemma in accepting this particular order...
He promised to protect and keep Relena safe. He believed in her and in her ability to help bring about peace. He made that decision because he felt it to be the right one. Therefore, it became a personal mission. And as in any mission, he was going to do everything in his power to fulfill it.
He would never act on any emotions that could conflict with that decision, because then the mission would be compromised. I think that this order hit Heero really hard, because it was so risky, not only in the aspect of Relena and her feelings, but also in terms of keeping her safe from Cole and any other person who might be a threat to her. Personal involvement even on the level of just caring for someone can cloud logical judgement. His strong reaction to Relena's fears and requests to keep her safe, shows that he knows he will comply with that request even if it means compromising the mission.
Plus, there's also the aspect of protecting her from himself. Seeing as we're completely oblivious to Heero's thoughts (Gosh, darn it!), it's hard to pin-point everything. That's a major guilt trip...she trusts him to keep her safe and yet at the same time, he knows that in this, he can't protect her from both himself and Cole.
Ugh! What angst! Anyhoo, I have to get back to work. And as you can tell from this ridiculously long review, I have no life!

Well, others (especially GM1) said everything about this fic, but I'll put my two cents in anyway
This chapter was very interesting. As a matter of fact, I didn't think that this mission could hurt both Heero and Relena. I think that when Heero was so cold towards Relena when they were in limousine, he was scared. He enjoyed those few days he had spent with Relena, but was scared that after all this mission ends he will loose everything and it will hurt him.
And Relena... What she thought in this chapter I was shouting from the begining I started to read this fic. If she thinks Heero doesn't love her, and have possibility to spend time with him even pretending a couple, she should take as much of it as she can.
And Dorothy... I agree with what few from here said - that she told Relena truth. Even if it hurt, Relena had to know. Maybe in mean way, but Dorothy prevented Relena from sufferings afterwards the mission was ended.
BUT what I said doesn't mean I don't like this story
I truly LOVE it!
Can't wait to see more of it :o 
Great job Girls!

The clarity of the hindsight we obtain from a new day may be 20/20, but it provides us with biased knowledge of the experiences and emotions that were-- Not what could have been, if only we had the chance to look through those premonitory eyes.

time...
Aaaarrrgghh!!! There's a hurricane coming towards florida this weekend. I'd like to know how Relena gets even and Heero's feelings on the 'mission' right after labor day.

It is not weither or not I want to blow her up, but how. Railgun, smart bomb, or beam cannon? So many choices...Zapenstap: Still want to blow her up? ^_^
I'm with Morrigan and say that I too like the scene with Duo and Heero best in this chapter. Of course Zechs being the person he is and what happened was nice and funny that the fact that Une was the biggest peeping tom of them all (what would Trieze think of that?
) was different. Dorothy was annoyingly IC.BI''s resident Gundam mecha master and informant.

Wow ^^
Amazing...I've been following this fic since it started, and I can't help but think that each chapter is better than the last...
Ahh...so now Relena knows. T_T What a horrible way to find things out, through Dorothy. Never a good thing, you know? >_< Dorothy's horrible, isn't she.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't get even a little satisfaction from knowing that Heero was emotionally attached to the mission...what is he thinking?? I love how you guys kept Heero's thoughts disclosed...it makes everything so much more mysterious.
Keep it up, guys.
