Need for Inspiration: Relena's 19th birthday

[Teankun]

I am working a scene in my GW fanfic epic about Relena's 19th birthday while she is at college, and I am pretty much stumped where to take it. I would like some suggestions of what gifts the other characters would give her. Any sugestions?

BTW, Heero is not going to give her another bear. That is too obvious.

Well, I've always seen Duo talking Hilde into giving Relena something kinky. Handcuffs are overdone. Chocolate body paint, perhaps? Bonus points if Rel has no idea what it's for.

As for Heero, he's a practical man. Giving her shooting lessons would be nice, and you can just see him standing behind her, helping her hold the weapon and such. In Episode 11, we see that Rel's pretty handy with a gun but she probably gave it up due to the whole pacifist stance. I can totally see her as a closet gun nut. Daddy Darlian probably had her take shooting lessons to protect herself early on so she could protect herself. That's the only reasonable explanation I have for her being able to shoot so well and not freaking over the recoil. Besides, this gives her an opportunity to surprise Heero with her expertise.

I'd imagine Heero going for the clich? type of presents but with a small personal touch. I don?t think he?d give any special or creative gifts, because getting a gift from Heero Yuy is a miracle on its own.
One possible present that I can think of right now is a bracelet with the date of their first meeting or any other important moment from the early stages of their relationship engraved in it. A date that doesn?t necessarily mean anything to anyone but them.

something with a symbolic meaning that doesn't have to be spoken out loud to it. That's kind of how I picture their entire relationship, them understanding each other through symbols and actions, not words (Heero doesn' seem to keen on talking much anyway)

Okay, gang. I've got the scene done.
Thans eveyone.
