Chapter 1






Dorothy walked in the rain. Looking at the navy sky, she needed to be alone. The past due moments ago was pressuring but exciting.



Dorothy stepped in the restaurant Chaveleir` to see her fiance` Damion. He had told her to meet her because he had some special news to tell her.



Seating at the table, Damion called for some grape wine. Dorothy looked at him over the lit candle in the middle of the table. It was a romantic night for people to go out, but Dorothy could feel nothing in a way.



Her wheat blond hair swayed as Dorothy walked to her fiance, giving him her hand to kiss it. Being 19 now, Dorothy had grown up to be a beautiful women.



“ Hello Dorothy. I hoped you had a good day today?”



“ Yes Damion, plenty.” Dorothy hid her sigh, he was so boring at time, not like when she was with Quatre- No, don’t mention that name! She told herself.



“ Dorothy, I have an important question for you to answer.” Dorothy looked at him questionally. Usually he’d know anything, he always called her naive.



“ Do you love....me?” It hit her, like a wall of bricks had fallen over her. That question again, she tried to run from that question the first day she went out with Damion. She wasn’t sure, she had to admitt. How many times she had said those words to herself when Qua-. No, she was over him.



....Right?....



“ Why do you ask?” “ I wanted to know for sure, I know that you don’t want to answer but we’ve been going out for 6 months. I have to know now.”



Did she love him? There seemed like only lust in the relationship, not love. Even though she had not gotten in bed with him, he had alays caused her drunk and touch her when she was half concious.



How she hated him for that. “ You know that I can’t answer that.” He nodded, but not overly greatful with the answer.



Then he walked to her seat and got down on one knee. Dorothy knew what was coming and almost choked on her wine. “ Dorothy, will you marry me?”



Marry? Was he crazy? Or was she? She still was over Quat-him she ment. “ Can I think about it?” The man looked disappointed but finally replied. “ Alright Dorothy. I need you to answer in a week, I’m....going to Mars.”



Mars? “ Why?” “ Because they need a tester to see if Mars is good for people to live at. They gave me a choice and I might not come back. I want to know your desicion for me and you, for us so we’ll go to Mars together. But if you disagree to be my wife, then I’ll have to go alone.” He choked out.



Dorothy was out-struck. “ I’ll think about it. May I be a excused.” And she walked out of the restuarant.



And thats why she was out here. Wet, cold, and loveless. What was her desicion? She only had a week to think, say no and live here with out love staying a widow? Or say yes and leave her friends behind, especially ‘him’ to go Mars with a man she didn’t know she loved?



“ Think later Catalonia and go home, take a nice shower, and then think.” Dorothy appointed herself. Yes, that was a good idea.







Quatre looked at his hand, he ws out strucked. Beads of water dripped out from his wet blond head. What he heard was not what he wanted to here.



Quatre had a meeting to go to a restuarant Chavelier` that night. So he went in and sat down a table behind a pot in front of a brown haired man. His spectater was the one and only Relena Peacecraft. She was having a problem with Heero again.


Drinking his glass of water, Quatre overheard talking from the other side of the oak sized plant.



“ Hello Dorothy. I hoped you had a good day today?”



Dorothy? Thee Dorothy Catalonia? Still now he mourned for her.



“ Yes Damion, plenty,” Dorothy answered.



It was her then. Quatre stole a glance behind the pot to look at her, she had grown beautiful with her still long blond hair.



“ Quatre, are you listening?” Relena asked.



“ Umm..yeah. So what were you asking?” Relena sighed, “ I said do you think its a good idea for me to leave Heero alone and think?”



“ I don’t know, where are you planning to go?”



“ I’m thinking of going to the farthest place he wouldn’t think I would go.” “ And where is that?” “ I’m not telling you. You’ll tell him.”



“ You know he’ll find out where you are.” “ Yeah, but I think he’ll get out of his soldier form and act more open towards me then. He has to know that I love him!”



Quatre nodded.



“ Dorothy, will you marry me?”



Quatre’s head spun up to hear those 5 words. That guy was asking his Dorothy to marry him? // Dorothy’s not your’s anymore // His concience corrected him. He ignored the correction and listened closely for what Dorothy was going to answer.



Please NO, No, No! Quatre prayed.



“ Can I think about it?” Those words rang.



“ Quatre!” Relena shook his arm. “ Whats wrong? Are you okay? You were turning pale...” “Yes Miss Relena. I’m fine.” “ Are you sure?” “ Yes.” Relena looked at him with worried eyes.



“ Alright Dorothy. I need you to answer me in a week, I’m going to Mars.”



He was thinking of taking Dorothy to Mars?!



“ Why?” Dorothy asked.



“ They need a tester to see if Mars is a good place for people to live at. They gave me a choice and I might not come back. I want to know your desicion for me and you, us so we’ll go to Mars together. But if you disagree to be my wife, then I’ll have to go alone.”



Dorothy only had a week to think? Pain still hadn’t mend his soul and heart yet the day Dorothy and him broke up. He loved her so much, but it was better off for her to not love him then live in danger. But now the danger was over, could he win her heart back in a week?



He heard Dorothy excused herself and walked out of the restaurant. Relena gave up and told him that she’d see him tomorrow.



And so that’s why Quatre was outside.



“ I’ll do anything I can to win you back Dorothy.” He sweared.
