Oh, yeah, I’m novelizing our school’s vampire RPG into an actual story, and if anyone’s interested in reading it, I’m gonna put it up at http://angelfire.com/anime/fiction. My character’s based off of Meiran. ^O^ I’m Prince of the City, cuz I won the mock battles. ^_~
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Warnings: Heero and Dorothy way OOC, yaoi, threesome, me still pretending the timeline doesn’t exist. ~_~
XXXXXXXXXXXX
“Dammit, I wish they’d just get together already!” Duo complained. “It is sooo obvious that they like each other!”
Wufei, Duo, and Quatre were all crowding around a small window that looked into the kitchen where Trowa and Heero were pretty much silently fixing breakfast. Duo had a glass up against the door and was eavesdropping as well as spying.
“You guys, this is wrong,” Quatre spoke up timidly.
“Shhhhh!” Wufei and Duo said simulaneously. “Ooh,” Duo continued, “Trowa’s offering to help Heero!”
“Really?” Quatre said, quickly loosing all doubts he had had just a minute ago. “How sweet! Let me hear!”
“Shhh!” Duo said again. “I’m trying to listen.”
“You’re recording through that cup, right?” Wufei asked.
“Yeah.”
“Good. If we’re gonna play matchmaker, we’ll need every scrap of evidence, every hint we can get.”
Duo raised both eyebrows. “Didn’t think you were the type to like to play matchmaker,” he commented.
“It was a hobby back home of the younger people. We always managed to find out about any ensuing betrothal and play matchmaker for the couple. We were actually usually quite successful, so the Elders let us get away with it.”
“Cool!” Duo said. “So you’re good at this already? I’m in!”
“Great,” Wufei said. “Quatre?”
Quatre looked away, feeling guilty.
“Quatre??!” Duo and Wufei said again, at the same time.
“OK, I’m in too,” Quatre finally agreed.
“All right!” Duo cheered. Wufei smiled slightly. “So, Wu-man,” Duo continued, “Got any ideas?”
“As a matter of fact, I do,” Wufei said. “C’mon, before we’re caught. I’ll explain it to you up in my room.”
The three quietly tiptoed away.

Come back to what you know...
Take everything real slow
I wanna loose you but I can’t
Let you go

“They left,” Heero said calmly. At that, both Heero and Trowa started rolling around the floor with laughter.
“I can’t believe they think they’re gonna set _us_ up!” Heero said. “I mean, we’re together already! They’re redundant or something.”
Trowa’s visible eye winked at Heero. “Well, if we keep acting pathetically unable to get together without outside help, we should be able to bring those three closer together.”
“Yeah. This is a great idea. Whose was it again? Yours, right?”
“Actually, it was Relena’s.”
Heero gaped. “You’re pulling my leg.”
“Nope. She’s an evil little brat, isn’t she??? She offers any assistance we care for, also.”
Heero’s face broke into a rare smile. “Well! I never would have guessed. But...I thought she was mad at you?”
“Nah. She never liked you in the first place. It’s just an act, becuase it’s not acceptable for a girl to not have a male love interest, I understand. Rumors might start, especially now that she’s the Queen of the World.”
“And would they be right?”
“Sou. She and Dorothy are “together”, at least as much as you can be when you’re “together” with Dorothy. But as long as Relena commands Dorothy’s respect, she’ll stick to her like a burr. And she’s an incredibly valuable ally. Strategy, politics...that girl is pretty amazing. I’d guess this little plan was her idea.”
“Since when did you get so knowledgeable about people??”
Trowa chuckled softly. “I dunno. Quatre must be rubbing off on me.”
“Guess so.”
“What do you think they’re planning right now?”
“I dunno, but I can find out,” Heero said with a sadistic grin, as he held up a bug identical to the one he’d planted in Wufei’s room. “Lemme just adjust the transmission from the recoding device...”

Before you interfere
Let me make it loud and clear
That you got no more to prove
I’m a fool

“No, no, no, that won’t work at all, Wufei!” Duo complained. “Trowa would never- I mean he’s not that type- That is to say-”
“Wanna bet?” Wufei said. The two glared at each other for a moment, sparks flying from their eyes.
“Uh...guys...” Quatre said.
“Fine, all right, you win!” Duo said. “Just don’t blame me if it goes wrong.”
“Yeah, yeah, just help me set this stuff up,” Wufei said, mostly ignoring Duo.
Quatre blinked at each new item that came out if the bag Wufei had just pulled from the closet. “Rope, maple syrup, banana peel, bucket, whipping cream...?”
/*Duo, Wufei, whipping cream, strawberries, and lots of chocolate...\* Quatre suddenly got a nosebleed and passed out, completely unnoticed by the other two, still examining items and discussing plans.
And that just goes to prove it’s always the quiet ones.

So take it easy, yourself
There’s nothing new about
How you felt
I’ll never let you down
Or fear the way that
I’ve been fearin’ now

“Ah! So that’s what they’re planning?” Trowa grinned. “Well, we’ll just have to turn the tables on them, ne?”
“Easily done,” Heero agreed.
“OK, then, here’s what we’ll do...”

Comin’ back to what you know
Don’t mean a thing
Everthing that you’ve done keeps
You from me
Now I know that I need more time
Come back and let me see
You’re right

“You’re sure this is where Trowa walks?”
“Positive,” Quatre confirmed.
“But there’s not even a path!!!”
“Natrually,” Wufei said, rolling his eyes. “Trowa isn’t the sort to destroy nature unless he asolutely has to.”
“So...” Duo said, “Who’s going to put the bucket of syrup in the tree?? What? Why are you both looking at me???”
“Up,” Wufei said, tossing Duo the bucket and the jumbo maple syrup.
Higher up, a couple trees over, a camoflauged Heero tried to contain his snickering.
“All right, all right,” Duo grumbled. “Give me a sec, OK?” Balancing the stuff so he could climb, Duo shimmied up the tree and got the bucket balanced percariously, as Heero stealthily moved into position in the same tree Duo was in.
“OK, done!” Duo said. “So let me get this straight...we get Trowa to slip, knock into the rope attached to the bucket, bringing it down, at which point he’ll be drenched in maple syrup. He’ll figure it’s just me playing a practical joke, and head for the little hidden hotspring, which is much, much closer than the house.”
“It has nothing to distance, it has to do with the fact that if Trowa came in the house covered in syrup, Quatre would kill him,” Wufei snickered, while Heero grinned, remembering that hotspring fondly.
While Quatre glared, Duo continued, “OK, so then I have to go fetch Heero and trick him into coming with me...?”
Both boys nodded. Suddenly there was a clatter and the bucket fell down- straight onto Duo!
“Oh, great,” Wufei said. “Now Quatre and I are gonna have to get sap from trees. That’s so much more work.”
“Hey, I can help too,” Duo protested.
“No, you’re gonna go to that hotspring and clean up,” Quatre said. Something was niggling at the back of his mind, thinking this was a little suspicious, but he dismissed it as paranoia.

I’m comin’ back to what I know
Cause I know I need it now it’s gone
Now I know that I need more time
Come back and let me see
You’re right

Duo sighed as he stripped and sank into the steaming water. Suddenly a twig snapped behind him and he whiled around in that water, splashing everywhere. No one was there. /*Huh, I’m getting jumpy.\*
Trowa grinned, and paused a moment, waiting for Duo to relax again.
Duo whirled again as another twig snapped.
Trowa grinned again and unwrapped some dry ice.
Duo shivered as a fog crept into a clearing. “This is looking remarkably like a bad horror movie,” he commented softly to himself.
Just then, an eight foot tall pure white figure loomed up out of the mist, which was too freaky for even a Gundam pilot.
“Gaaaaah!” he screamed,even as the figure disappeared back into the mist.
A quarter mile or so away, Wufei and Quatre looked up from where they were gathering their own syrup from a tree. “Duo!” They both gasped at once, dropping the bucket and running for the hot spring.
Three people ran away from scaring the dickens out of Duo, covering their mouths, trying not to laugh.
“You two make a pretty good ghost,” Trowa commented to Relena and Dorothy, as Relena hopped down off her lover’s shoulders and dropped the blanket to the ground.
“Thanks,” Dorothy said. “I was very happy to do it. My pleasure.”
“You remembered to add the oil, right Dorothy?” Trowa asked.
“Me??? I thought you were gonna-”
“_I_ added it,” Relena interrupted.
Trowa blinked. “Ooookay. Guess he didn’t notice it.”
Dorothy giggled. “Probably doesn’t realize that oil isn’t usually in natrual springs.”

Come back to what you know
Take everything real slow
I want to loose you but I got
Far too close...

Quatre and Wufei entered the clearing with the spring, to find Duo unharmed but standing in the water, shivering and hugging himself, staring blindly at nothing. They both stopped and stared...Duo...naked...with the just setting sun glistening off his skin...(1)
“Oh, Allah...” Quatre whispered.
“What...were we doing here again?” Wufei questioned rhetorically.
“Do we even care?” Quatre answered back.
“.....”
“Didn’t think so... I say we forget about getting Trowa and Heero together and go for Duo. Right now.”
“I definitely agree...” Wufei said a bit hoarsely.
“Duo?” Quatre questioned softly, entering the clearing. “Daijoubu desu ka?”
No answer. Quatre looked at Wufei, who blinked and shrugged, and began stripping to enter the spring. Quatre cocked his head, and then shrugged and did likewise.
“Duo?” Wufei said, placing his hand on Duo’s arm.
“Huh?” Duo said sluggishly, finally snapping out of it.
“We heard you scream. Are you OK?”
Duo shook his head, frowning. “Fine. I must have been seeing things. You two can go back to getting syrup now.” He let his head droop. “I’m being a pain, aren’t I?” “No...” Quatre purred. “We don’t mind...do we Wufei?”
Wufei bared his teeth in a near-feral snarl. “Not at all, Quatre.”
“Wha...?” Duo said. “Um...why are you looking at me like that?”
“We just lost all interest in Heero and Trowa, because we decided to go for our own interest. You.”
Duo’s eyes widened as kisses began raining down on him from both sides, and pretty soon he forgot about Trowa and Heero too.
