The gundam gang had decided to go on a walk later that day before lunch. Alia lead them down a long dirt road that had a lot of beautiful scenery. "Man you could stay here forever." Cried Hilde. Quatre agreed. "Yes it is quite lovely." Wufei turned to notice that Alia and Dorothy were gone. "Alia? Dorothy?" One after the other the two girls came out of the woods. "Sorry Wufei. I shouldn�t have walked off like that. Look guys I�m going to take Dorothy somewhere so I won�t be guiding you. Just follow this path to get back to the house." Trowa called after them as they walked back into the woods. "When will you be back to the cottage?" Alia looked back mouthing tomorrow.
Later on that night, Alia and Dorothy snuck into the house to keep from waking the others. As they passed the living room someone cried, "And where have you been all night?" Dorothy glared at Noin. "Where you�ve probably been all morning." Sally blushed. Zechs examined them. "Did you go swimming? You�re soaking wet." They blushed. "Zechs�just don�t worry about it okay." Alia went upstairs to dry off. The girls dragged her lover into the room. "So where did you two go today?" Relena giggled. Dorothy�s already flushed face was getting redder. "Just to a lake nearby." Sally laughed. "With all that _ exercise _ you got you should look as flushed as you are." Duo stood up and stormed out of the room without a word. "Duo?" Hilde went after her friend.
Hilde found her best friend sitting on the porch. "Hey Duo. What�s up man?" "Hilde� um can you tell me why you and Relena got together. Hell the other girls too." She smiled. "Well. Duo it seems that all of us got together for the same reason. We care a lot for some one but it seemed to us that they didn�t care back. So we ended up turning to each other and now�" Duo shook his head. He put on a fake smile and said, "It�s cool Hilde. I just want to make sure your happy." She hugged him. "Thanks Duo. I really appreciate your support." She went inside.
Heero saw what happened. As soon as Hilde left he went to check up on Duo. "Duo. Hey don�t worry. Everything should turn out okay all right?" Duo turned around and nodded once again forcing a smile.
The next morning Trowa walked into the kitchen to fix breakfast but Alia was already inside. "You�re up early today." "Yeah. All you guys have the house to yourselves. Me and the other girls are going out to see the place I showed Dorothy. We won�t be back so late if we eat early." He slowly nodded. The other girls came bursting through the kitchen door. "Ready?" "Yeah!" "Okay. Later Tro." She gave him a hug and ran out. When the rest of the gundam boys came down Trowa told them what happened. Quatre couldn�t take it anymore. "I say we go after them." "Why? What have they done?" asked Wufei. "Hopefully nothing yet." Quatre ran out the door. The others, worried about what could happen to their blonde friend, followed him.
They followed the trail of footprints through the woods to a small stream. "The steps go east across the stream then they all go north." Heero continued to check out the prints. "What�s that over there by the bank?" Trowa, followed by the others, walked across the stream using the embedded rocks. "Oh My God." Zechs took a quick look at a shocked Duo then shook his head. "Tell me that these are not there clothes." Wufei sighed. "Sorry Zechs but I think that they�re shedding." The pilots followed the trail of clothes to a small waterfall. "This is beautiful!" cried Quatre. "There is a small cave behind the waterfall." Said Heero. "So you think that they went back there?" "Yes, Duo." "Then let�s go!" Silently they crept behind the fall but not without getting soaked to the bone. Quatre put his finger to his mouth. "Keep quiet or they�ll hear." When giggling was heard the six ran to hide behind a massive rock. In the middle of the cave was a large pond. And in the middle of that was a small island. Finally in the middle of that small island was a great Weeping Willow stretching towards the top of the cave where a small opening was. The tree�s greenery hung to the very bottom to where they touched the ground. It hung like a curtain at an opera house. Quatre took a sharp breath as the green curtain was opened and Sally stepped out. Wufei blushed especially since she was walking around naked. "Oh god help us all." She sat on the ground just as Hilde came up behind her in the same state laughing. "You know you said that just a few minutes ago." Duo stopped trying to help Wufei cover the others eyes and just looked shocked for a moment. "Hey with what you were doing�" "Shhhh. Noin�s asleep." Relena and Alia came into view. "Her and Dorothy are asleep and we don�t want to wake them." Alia sat on the cool grass. "I hope the guys never find out about this." "Why not they shouldn�t have a problem with this. Hell Duo said he didn�t care. He�s happy for me." Relena wrapped her arms around her lover. "Hilde do you really believe that?" "Lena I think that you should ask yourself the same question." She held Hilde tighter. "Heero doesn�t care. He never did before." Sally stood and started to pace suddenly angry by the turn of conversation. "None of them should care. I mean all that time we spent�" "Stop Sally! I don�t want to go back over it. Now we�re gonna talk to them about our relationships. Then we�ll see how things fall." "I don�t want to lose Wufei or Noin. I love them. He�s my best friend." Alia sighed then got up. "Yeah and Trowa�s my best friend too. But if it came to picking between him and Dorothy�" She shook her head. Sally sat back down. "Well we�ll just have to think about the bad later okay?" Relena gave Hilde and Alia a look with a gleam then started crawling like a cat at Sally. Alia and Hilde followed suit smiling as Sally looked in lusty terror.
Alia: Can you actually do that?
Sally: Of course.
"This is going to be a long day after all." The boys turned away from the scene. They quickly left the moaning and crying behind as they slipped unseen from the scene. They walked back to the cottage in complete despair. "What are we going to do?" Wufei asked as they reached the porch. Trowa looked around at all of the sad faces. "We should tell them what we really feel about them." Duo flung around to stare at Trowa. "You can�t. Alia already said that she didn�t want to have to pick between you and Dorothy." Trowa shook his head not really wanting to explain what he was going to do. Zechs placed his hand on Duo�s shoulder. "He meant that we would them but�" He didn�t want to finish. He couldn�t say it. Duo nodded his head finally understanding what they meant. Heero sighed. He walked into the house followed by the others. They had to get their courage up when the girls came back.
Noin: That was so sad. We have to pick?
Alia: Baby please. You know I hate sad endings.
Trowa: So what are you going to do about it?
Alia: Just sit back. You�ll see soon enough. Comments, Questions, and Suggestions:
