If We Stand Together "It annoys me, you know? The misconceptions, deceptions, the outright lies. No one knows how to tell the truth anymore." Sally sighed softly, her attention more on the monitors than on the quiet voice. "It’s strange. Everyone wants peace but no one seems to know how to maintain it. No one wants to go back to the wars. There is discontent and discontent breeds rebellion and suppression of rebellion leads to war. Marie was right. An endless waltz and what follows the peace, hmm? We need to do something about that." Sally rubbed at her eyes. Would the girl never stop talking? "Sometimes we have to do things we really do not want to do. For the good of the people even if we are unwilling we must step in to fill a breach. Brave soldiers or those who simply know what needs to be done will step forward and do their duty." //Oh for the love of …// Sally turned, ready to tell the girl to give it a rest. "They call me the White Dove of Peace. Stupid, isn’t it? We both know I’m not much of a pacifist. Not when it comes to getting what I want. I have a temper. Pagan says I have Mother’s temper and there were days when Father would practically creep around the palace if she was in what he called a ‘high dungeon’." Relena was leaning over the bed, one hand stroking his long hair and the other tracing the line of his jaw. Her attention was focused on her brother and Sally doubted that she realized they were not alone. "We need a soldier, Milliardo. I can’t do this anymore. I know it’s not fair to you to ask. You want to be Zechs Merquise but we are Peacecrafts." Sally flicked her gaze over the monitor, lips pursed. Were the readings just a little stronger? "I’ll be your White Dove. Be mine? I will do everything I can to help but one Peacecraft is not enough. Father failed, I think, because he did not have the support another Peacecraft could give him. If we stand together we can make a difference, brother …" Sally watched the tear trickle down the gentle curve of her cheek and fall to the too pale cheek of her brother. Relena gently wiped away the tear. "You have given so much already but I have to ask.
Will you not help me? Will you become a White Dove as a Peacecraft
should? We can stand before them, two halves of a whole and show everyone
what it is to reach for peace. All that I am was focused on peace
and it was not enough. I need my own White Dove to stand beside me,
strong as only a soldier can be. Stephan … there are those who
think to ruin the world you want him to know. Don’t let them.
Stand beside me and together we can make it a better world for the
children ."
