The Khushrenada Estate
The Khushrenada family sat down to watch their favorite drama-comedy, Ed. The bowling alley lawyer and his friends were always sure to make them laugh, and it took them away from their troubles. But it was during the commercials that disaster striked.
"All of the world must know me by know," said the Colombian women on TV.
"Oh, no," groaned Treize.
"If not, I'm Anita Cruz, and right now I'm in the Romefeller building, and have taken it over. Come and get me, you Preventers!" said Anita with a laugh, and went off the air, and as always a news report followed. But Treize had all ready left the room, Lady Une following him into their bedroom.
Treize opened a drawer and took out a key. With the key he opened another drawer, and pulled out a officer's pistol.
"Treize, you're not going to--" started Lady Une.
"Yes, Lady. I'm going to gather the gundam pilots and the army. I don't think were going to attack, but--"
"Treize, I'm coming were you," said Lady Une.
"No, Lady. You need to stay here and watch Mariemeia. I don't want to risk your life," said Treize.
"Last time you left, you didn't come back for almost two years. I don't want that to happen again, please Treize..." Lady Une started to cry.
Treize hugged her. "I promise, I'll come back."
FLASHBACK
"One must be in the battle to truly understand it's beauty," Lady Une.
Treize was shocked. His beloved Lady had woken up from a coma and just had saved him from certain death.
When they made it to the ESU's spacecraft, Treize turned and said to her, "I promise I'll come back."
"No, Mr. Treize! That Chinese kid will kill you! Please, don't fight him!"
"Lady, I can't make a promise to break a promise; I'll have to fight him. But I promise I'll come back to you." With that, he kissed her forehead and boarded the Tallgeese II.
END OF FLASHBACK
Treize sighed. Lady Une either was going with him, or he wasn't going anywhere. Then he had epiphany.
"Colonel Une, I command you to stay here," he ordered.
"Yes, sir!" said Lady Une as she saulted him. Tears still were brimming in her eyes.
"Lady, Lady. I'm sorry I had to do that, but I need you to stay here," said Treize, as he embraced her once more.
"Okay," Lady Une managed to say.
"Good," said Treize and he kissed her goodbye.
As soon he left, Lady Une changed into her colonel uniform and put on her glasses. There was no time to do her hair.
"Mommy! What are you doing?" asked Mariemeia.
"I'm going to--"
"But Mommy, Daddy told you not to go!"
"I know, in fact this is the first time I've ever disobeyed your father," said Lady Une.
"But Mommy!" Please don't go!" Mariemeia started to cry.
Lady Une hugged her. "Don't worry, Mariemeia. We'll come back."
"I don't want you and Daddy to die!"
"I'll make sure that we don't. I've got to go, okay?"

A few miles from the Romefeller Foundation Buliding
Midnight
"Shhh.... You don't any one to hear us, do you?" whispered Lucrezia to the group of girls consisting of Relena, Hilde, Dorothy, Sally and Catherine.
"Why is Catherine coming with us?" asked Relena.
"You shouldn't talk. You haven't been in a battle either," said Catherine.
"What!
Of course I have! Dekim tried to kill me--"
"Shhhh!" the other
girls said in unison.
"I hear something," mouthed Lucretzia.
The girls hid in the bush.
"You guys would make pathetic spys," said Lady Une as she walked up to the bush. "I could hear you from a mile away!"
"Oh, good, it's you," said Lucrezia, "We weren't sure it you were coming. You never disobey Treize's orders."
Lady Une laughed. "Yes, he begged me to stay."
"All of us were begged to stay," said Hilde.
"What should we do?" asked Lucrezia.
"We're going to the Romefeller building, but you guys have to be quiet," said Lady Une.
"Okay," chimed the other girls. Lady Une knew it was going to be a long night, or shall I say day?
Please review!
