Wow, a burst of inspiration came to me! Thank god. Hope you like it!

The ball that night was remarkable. Everyone was having a good time. There, of course, were whispers and curious glances, but everyone seemed to be very respectful of Princess Relena and her new prince. Heero and Relena later left that night and went back to Relena's estate. The others stayed at the Ball a bit longer.

"Oh my god, I haven't had that much fun in a while. In all honestly I thought it was going to be boring," Relena was almost out of the breath after she got back into the limo.

Heero closed the door behind him as smiled at her, "ya, that was kinda fun, wasn't it?" She smiled and then he couldn't take his eyes off of her.

He slowly raised his hand up to her face and brushed a piece of her hair behind her ear, "ya know…." He smiled and looked down her, "you're kinda gorgeous," He looked back at her with a smirk on his face. She laughed as she looked down as if she were almost too flattered. "Has anyone ever told you that?" he slid his hand to the side of her face and brought her eyes to meet his. They quickly got caught in a daze and then his mouth met hers in frenzy. She brought her arms around his neck as he lifted her onto his lap, his hand moving up her thigh. Suddenly, the limo stopped, which surprised Relena. Her eyes widened and she pushed herself off Heero so that it might look like nothing had happened.

The limo door opened and Relena took the hand, "Thank you George."

A few moments passed by then George poked his head inside to see a stunned and disappointed Heero staring blankly at the place where Relena was sitting.

"Sir?" Heero snapped out of it and quickly got out of the limo to see Relena walking to her front door, and he followed. Heero caught up and Relena opened the door. They acted as normal as possible as they entered. Heero closed the door behind them as one of the maids came walking to the door with her belongings.

"Oh, miss Relena! I hope you had fun at the ball tonight!" she came towards them. "Everything is finished for the night. I'm the last to leave. Have a good night!" Then she walked out the door.

Barely a moment or two after the door closed, Heero grabbed Relena and continued where they left off in the limo. Their mouths met with intense desire. Her hands desperately ran through his hair and his arms tightly wound around her waist. Heero soon picked Relena up and carried her up to her bedroom door where he then put her down and pushed her up against the wall kissing her furiously. Opening the door at the same time was a challenge and took a few moments. The door opened and Relena pushed Heero into the room as they both laughed. He started unzipping her dress and she started unbuttoning his uniform. They had both been drinking at the ball; so undressing became … tricky, and amusing, as they couldn't stop laughing.

"Heero, I love you" she was caught up in the moment and it caught Heero off guard. They now were now lying on the bed as he was on top of her. She then realized what she said and then looked up at him to see what his reaction was.

He smirked at her and lowered himself to kiss her again. Just before their mouths met, he paused and said, "I love you too" then kissed her with a smile. Her heart raced and she couldn't stop smiling between kisses.

It was a gorgeous summer day and it seemed as if the sun put a smile on everyone who was waking up that morning at the peacecraft mansion. Unfortunately it did not last.

"GOD DAMNIT" Milliardo slammed the newspaper down before him on the table. Noin was getting ready in the bathroom.

"What on earth is wrong?" she yelled from the bathroom.

"Heero Yuy, THAT'S what's wrong" and with that Noin came to see the newspaper on the table. She then dawned a concerned look on her face when she read the headline. Princess Relena and the liar that stands beside her. She reads on to find out The Royal family of Ireland is astounded that the man betrothed to their daughter is breaking the promise made decades ago.

"Apparently our new found prince is already engaged to Leona, the princess of Ireland. The family got wind of his return, and that he was in a relationship with Relena. So of course, they're going to tell the press this right away so that 'Prince Vicktor' might come back to marry Leona instead." Noin sat down in amazement. They both couldn't believe it.

Heero's cell phone started going off. It was of course still in the pocket of his pants that was still on the floor from the night before.

"Oh god…" He had been holding Relena but then cringed at the noise and the headache that followed. He slowly got up and caught his balance to get his phone.

"what." He was clearly not happy he was being woken up.

"We've got a problem." Valentina hesitated.

"Well what is it?"

"Well…. Now don't yell at me…. But I didn't really know about this… it seems that you're engaged."

Heero then snapped out of it, "What the hell are you talking about?" His voice got a bit louder and Relena began to wake up.

"Well… we were all very young… and I didn't know about any of this… but apparently when you were young, dad arraigned a marriage for you… to the princess of Ireland, Leona."

"you have got to be fucking kidding me." Heero put his hand through his hair as to hold his head.

"Unfortunately I'm not. They heard of your return and immediately told the press and now the newspapers are flooded of the pictures of you and Relena last night with not the kindest of headlines."

"oh shit." He didn't know what to think at this point. Or how to even feel. "Alright… I'll be down in a minute and we'll talk about it." He hung up his phone and Relena grabbed Heero's dress shirt to throw on.

"What's going on?" she walked over to him and slid her hands up his bare chest around his neck.

"You're not going to like this."

Valentina, Nikolai, Vlad, Milliardo, and Noin were all gathered in the dining room having breakfast. Heero could tell this wasn't going to be an enjoyable day by the voices coming from the dining room as he and Relena went in.

"I STILL don't understand how you didn't know about this?" Milliardo was furious with the situation.

"I told you! I had no idea about any of this until last night. I got a phone call from Moscow that it was a rumor. Therefore, we decided not to say anything. I honestly didn't think it was real considering I, of all people, should have known about this. Apparently my father didn't think it necessary for me to know about others personal matters." Valentina was just at furious.

"PERSONAL MATTERS? He's your goddamn brother for Christ sake!"

"TELL ME ABOUT IT!"

"I STILL think Heero knew about this the whole time. I mean, how could he not know?" they all looked at Heero and he was horrified at the accusation.

"THAT IS ENOUGH" Relena really was not in the mood to be dealing with any sort of loud noises at this point. Everyone then looked at her.

"This is unfortunate, yes, I know that. But we can't blame anyone at this point. It won't help. What we do need to do is get in contact with the Callaghans and straighten all this out before it really blows out of proportion" Relena, as with all matters, was cool and collect and had a plan. Relena's head hurt from all the drama that was unfolding around her and left the room not glancing at Heero at all.

She grabbed some aspirin, a glass of water, and went out to the patio. She sat down and took a deep breath. As she took the aspirin, she thought just as things were finally perfect, this happens. I wonder if he really did know her.

"Are you ok?" Heero crouched down next to her while she was sitting.

"Huh? Oh.. ya, im fine. Just have a headache." She decided she really didn't want to talk about it with him yet. She hated to admit that seep down inside of her was suspicion.

She got lost in her thoughts again when Heero noticed and decided to break the silence. "Did you have fun last night?" he then sat down in the chair next to her and took her hand and smiled at her. She couldn't help but have flashbacks of one of the best nights of her life and smile flirtingly back at him.

"Of course I had fun last night." She scooted closer to him and laid her head against his shoulder. "Do you still love me?" She looked up at his with starry eyes.

He smiled at her, "Of course I do."

"Good. Because if you didn't, I'd have to kill you," they both laughed.

"Anya, I need you to connect with the Callaghans and see if you can put me in a conference call with them, or any of them for that matter." Valentina was rushing back to her room with Nik and Vlad while on the phone with her secretary in Russia. "Thanks. Oh, and try to be a nice as possible… ya, bye."

"what's the plan?" Nik was trying to keep up with her.

"Right now I need to go back to Russia to try and speak to that ridiculous father of ours, then we need to calm down that family and resolve this in some way."

"um… someone should stay here… you know, in case something happens." Vlad was nervous. They both stopped in their high-speed walk and looked at him.

Nik Laughed and Val crossed her arms and raised her eyebrow, "and this wouldn't happen to have anything to do with Kat, would it?"

"pft.. NO." he looked down and blushed. He was a horrible liar.

Val smiled and continued walking to the room, "Of course we will have to have someone stay, wont we?" Nik agreed then they went to pack their things while Vlad went to his room to change.

Heero was back at his place collecting some of his things so that the next time he stayed at Relena's he wouldn't be leaving the next day with crazy hair and wrinkled clothes. And he hoped it would happen again soon. He then caught himself smiling as he was throwing a shirt in his duffle bag. He stopped and remembered the night before. He closed his eyes and could still smell her hair. Lavender and roses. As Heero began to get lost in his thoughts, Duo saw him and decided to snap him out of it.

"Yo Heero!" and slapped his hand against Heero's back. Heero's eyes widened and gave Duo an evil look. "Hey man, I'm only helping a guy out! You looked like you were in another universe!" then he smirked, "so what…ah…. Did you do last night? … huh? Heero buddy?" He started laughing.

"That's none of your business." He continued packing some things up.

"Well, by the look of you, I'd say whatever you did had a lot of huffin and puffin involved!" Heero gave him a sharp stare and with that Duo ran out the door. He zipped up his bag and went to the kitchen to grab something to eat. Quatre was sitting at the table.

"So I've read the papers this morning… how is everyone doing?" Quatre didn't was to provoke Heero too much.

"As good as it can get right now. I know Val said something about going back to Russia to fix things up." Heero was fixing up some coffee.

"Forgive me for asking, but did you know about the arranged marriage? If it's even true, that is."

"No. I didn't. and unfortunately it is true. Milliardo isn't too happy about it and I honesty have no idea what Relena thinks about the situation. I'm sure she's not thrilled but she seems to not want to talk about it." Heero sounded worried.

"Well a lot has happed to both you and her in the past few days and I wouldn't be surprised if she is a little out of it. She may just want a bit of time to digest it all, you know? Maybe you should think of a way to try and relax her for now." Quatre was trying to think of something, "I wouldn't do anything too public… or at least anywhere around here. It might just upset the media and the public." Heero got his sandwich and coffee and sat down next to Quatre.

"Ya that sounds like it would be good. Maybe we go on a mini vacation for a couple days… hey, do you still have that sea plane stored away?"

"Ya, it's in one of the old hangers at the airport." Quatre was catching on to what Heero was thinking.

Heero's phone Rang "Hello?"

"Hey, so I just got off of the phone with my secretary and the Callaghans are demanding you to come to Ireland out of respect of their daughter. I'm not exactly sure if this is happening yet but I'm just making you aware of the situation. I'm getting on the plane now to head back with Nik. Vlad is staying of course. I was speaking with Milliardo and we both think it's a good idea if you stay out of the public eye until this is all said and done with. I wouldn't be spending the night there anytime soon either. The press is starting to get all over that place."

"Goddamn it. Why cant things ever just work out?"

"I know, but for now, just hold tight. Give Relena a call and let her know what's going on. I don't think you should go over there right now. Her PR is trying to get a statement together for the press. It's a madhouse. You left that place just in time."

"Alright. Thanks." And he hung up the phone.

Well, I guess I won't need the duffle bag.

Meanwhile, Relena finally got up the courage to take a look at all the tabloids to see what exactly the damage was. She had seen her fair share of nasty tabloids, especially about her. Then she came across one that caught her eye. She looked at one of the pictures and it was clearly a young Heero, in royal uniform sitting on a rock with a girl who had her arms wrapped around him with a smile on her face. The picture beside it was the same except the girl was kissing Heero on the cheek. It looked as if they were unaware of the photo being taken. Underneath it read The young Prince Vicktor and Princess Leona in love. Relena's heart dropped. How could he not tell me this?
