9 Years Later.
Meiran sat by the window and sighed.
"Today is supposed to be my birthday… Everyone’s busy," Meiran muttered. //Life is always full with war – even at the time of peace//
"Still! I want someone to notice that it’s my birthday!" Suddenly, Meiran felt chill. She turned around and found nothing. //It can’t be Duo// Duo was busy setting up the defense unit ordered by Heero with Hilde. //I can’t believe that my friends are the generals// But then again, anything was possible in this world. Sparta was going crazy preparing the arrival of the King of Queen of Athens.
"They just had to arrive on my birthday," Meiran muttered as she looked around the room. She shrugged. "I talk to myself too much," then she felt it again. It was coming from the outside. Meiran walked up to the balcony.
"Who’s there?" No one answered. //I know someone’s out there// Meiran was staying on guard when she heard something rustle. Meiran quickly turned around, determined to find whom the intruder was but instead, she found some flowers. //That’s…//
"Plumblossom," a voice finished her thought. Meiran turned around and took out a dagger. Then she found herself staring at a very handsome young man with a ponytail.
"What the?" //He seem so familiar//
"National flower of China," he replied. Meiran found herself lowering the dagger. //No, stay on guard!// She raised the dagger again.
"How dare you come into the castle without any permission!? What is your name?" the young lad chuckled.
"My name is Chang, Wufei. I came here as a guest so please lower your knife, Nataku." Meiran smiled.
"And how did you know that I call myself Nataku?" Wufei shrugged and started to walk away.
"I know a lot about you – even about your true identity." Meiran was dumbfounded. //My true identity?// When she came back to reality, he was gone.
"My lady, do prepare to dine," the maid yelled out. //Kuso, I was going to sneak out!// "Do you need any help?"
"No, it’s okay, Une! I can dress by myself!" //Where’s my riding shoes?//
"No, my lady! I’m coming in!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaah!"
An hour later.
"See? You look wonderful!"
"I look like a doll," Meiran grunted. //This sucks. Well, at least all the guys will have their attention on Catherine// Princess Catherine was beautiful. Everyone praised her, calling her an angel. She was an angel – she even had a beautiful heart. All the guys swooned over her – not Meiran. Meiran preferred it that way. //All the men out there are weak. I want a strong man//
"My lady, Prince Heero is waiting for you at the dining room. There will be many guests so please be good," Une begged. Meiran sighed. //I’ll just pretend to be like Catherine//
"I’ll be going now," Meiran said and ran out of the room ignoring Une’s "Princess, wait!"
//Stupid dinner, stupid guest, stupid everyone!// Meiran thought as she walked down the stairs. //I’m not meant to be a princess! I’m Nataku!// Meiran was so busy thinking that she didn’t see that there was another person turning at the curve. When Meiran realized , it was too late.
King Quatre was walking up the stairs, admiring the structure of the castle when he found a girl turning at the corner. "Uh, watch…" but it was too late. "Aaaah!" the girl screamed and both of them rolled down the stairs.
//Aw… my head// King Quatre opened his eyes and found the girl groaning on top of him. When the girl saw King Quatre staring at her, she snapped.
"What the hell are you doing!? Are all blondes stupid!?" //Ouch, that hurt// Quatre cleared his throat.
"I am terribly sorry, this won’t happen again," //No one would believe that the King of Athens was apologizing to some girl who has no manner// But then again, King Quatre found himself attracted to this girl. //She’s not boring like Relena//
The girl started to leave when King Quatre blocked her way causing her to snarl at him.
"Who do you think you are? Get out of my way, or I will call the guards." King Quatre looked at the girl carefully and smiled then got out of the way.
"My name is Quatre. What is yours?" The girl hesitated a bit.
"Meiran," then she walked away. //So this is the young Princess of Sparta// King Quatre chuckled. //I wonder what she looks like in bed//
Queen Relena trembled as she watched King Quatre laugh and walk away. //Quatre, what are you planning to do?// He couldn’t have fallen for that girl – or could he?
"Relena-sama, is something wrong?" Queen Relena turned around and faced her maid, Noin.
"Nothing, Noin. Nothing at all."

Meiran: I am terribly sorry to say "Is all blondes stupid."
Nana: I don't trust that saying. All my friends who are blond are mad smart.
