Setting: the large house/warehouse that all of the Gundam pilots live in...
Duo: ::Just walked in:: Hey Quatre! how's the repairs on Sandrock and my Deathscythe Hell going?
Quatre: ::working on Sandrock- Duo wouldn't let him touch Deathscythe:: good ::gets oil in eye:: itai!!!! ::drops wrench:: um maybe I should stop before I make it worse...
Duo: WORSE! what do you mean worse?!
Quatre: Well� I only took one class in Gundam repair after all... sigh� maybe we should wait for Heero and Trowa to get back, they're better than me at this... Duo: well I'm not letting that silent killing machine touch MY Deathscythe!
Quatre: oh.. b-but I though you and Heero were close friends, what happened?
Duo: well it's kind'a hard to talk to him, if ya' know what I mean
Quatre: I see, well Trowa's not much better, you just need to keep trying is all!
Duo: sigh... okay.
Quatre: I know you'll brake through the shields to his heart eventually
Duo: and what exactly do you mean by that!
Quatre: huh? what do you mean what do I mean? I'm confused
Duo: ya' know, the whole 'shield to his heart' thingie???
Quatre: oh you know what I mean, you said that he has a heart of stone once, that there were thick shields around his heart, you'll get through them!
Duo: I give up, ::mind going off into space:: hmmm... when's the next time your sisters gonna show up? ^^*
Quatre: huh? not for a while I hope...
Duo: why? you didn't like the last time they came by here and made the rest of us think you were a girl? ^_^ ;�
Quatre: -_-* please don't remind me duo... ::shudder::
Duo: lol *thinking- they didn't do a bad job either...* anyway, here comes wu-wu
Quatre: hi Wufei Chan!
Wufei: do you have no honor Maxwell?
Quatre: um� what did he do now Wufei?
Wufei: my name is Chang Wufei, not 'wu-wu'. Nataku has been dented.
Quatre: well it's your fault Wufei, don't blame it on us, that'd be weak...
Wufei: I AM NOT WEAK!!!
Duo: *thinking- wu's overreacting, like normal. I better step back just in case...*
Quatre: I never said you were, just the action you committed was weak, you can't judge a person by one action ya know.
Duo: just like you can never judge a book by It's cover, right?
Quatre: that's just right duo!
Wufei: how would you know Maxwell? You've never picked one up before.
Duo: hey! that wasn't called for!
Quatre: now, now be nice you two! ::breaks out the tea set:: lets all be calm and have tea!
Duo: besides, shouldn't you be fixing shenlong? ::drools at the tea and IMEADIATLY sits and starts to drink some while looking for the tea biscuits::

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Quatre: Wufei wont you have some tea, I have some nice green herbal tea if you would like some?
Wufei: Although you are weak and dim-witted, you are right, I will be leaving now.::Wufei leaves.::
Duo: *pheeew!*
Quatre: oh ok ::starts to get teary eyed::
Duo: darn it, Quatre crying over wu-wu... sheesh. hey, Trowa and Heero are back!
Quatre: oh Trowa! hello, hi Heero!
Duo: hey your back!
Trowa: hello Quatre, what's wrong you look like your about to cry...
Quatre: ....nothing.....
::Heero-just staring at wing::
Quatre: ahh duo ::whispers:: maybe this is a good opportunity to converse with Heero! ask him to help you with your Gundam eh? eh?
::Heero moves to a comm unit(monitor thing) and Duo looks to see what Heero is doing::
Duo: awww shush Quatre! Can't you see he's busy? ::whispered::
::Heero turns it on and intercepts a communication between Lady Une and Treize::
Trowa: ::whispers: listen to him Maxwell! Now's your chance! ::shove::
Duo: Hey! Don't push me around! *thinks- what in hell are they trying to get me to do?*
Heero: All of you, quiet!
Trowa: ::DEATH GLARE:: do it now Maxwell ::Heero unexpectedly turns around::
Heero: Oz is going to attack the sank kingdom, I'll warn Relina.
Duo: DON'T BOSS AROUND SHINIGAMI!! ::duo grabs for a scythe that's not there�::
Quatre: Wait Heero, Duo and I need you to help us repair our Gundams, Trowa and Wufei can hold them off!!!
Heero: Wing 0 has repairs that need to be made to it as well, I was going to warn her through a secure comm unit
Quatre: oh�.teheheheheh ::puts hand behind head:: silly me...
Duo: *geeze, now Quatre's gonna be picking on me again. *sarcastically* just great...
Quatre: Duo, go for it when he's done talking to what's her face. talk to him!
Duo: about WHAT?!?
Quatre: anything!!! Try to break the barrier in his heart like you said you wanted to do!
Duo: when did I say THAT?!?
Quatre: ::getting mad:: if you don't then- then I'll tell him that your in love with him!!! is that what you want? cause if it is I can arrange that for you!! ::angry smirk::
Duo: WHAT?!?! You wouldn't do that! We're only friends!And besides, how do you know how I feel? There's Hilde too, ya know.
::Quatre starts to move towards Heero::
Quatre: you-you mean you really do love him???
Duo: WHAT???!!! ::Hilde comes in::
Hilde: Hi Duo!
Trowa: Where did she come from?
::Hilde runs over to hug duo, but bumps into Quatre making them both fall::

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hilde: opps! sorry!
Quatre: ouch! ::rubs butt::
::Trowa runs to his side::
Trowa: Quatre are you all right?
Quatre: daijobu ...(for those of us who don't speak japenese"i'm ok")
Hilde: Hi Heero, Trowa. anything new?
Trowa: noting really... did you here about duo's little crush? ::smirk::
Heero: quiet, I'm on a call with Relina Peacecraft.
Hilde: hmm... noooo...::blushes:: and actually, I don't want to hear about it from anyone but Duo ::turns to face him::
Trowa: You see duo just told Q about a little crush he has on...
Duo: SHUT UP!!!
Quatre: hey! don't talk that way about my Trowa!!!!!!!!!!!
::Hilde and Duo look confused::
Hilde: Duo, come with me for a sec.. ::grabs Duo and drags him to a room off to the side::
Quatre: ::just realized what was said:: ::BLUSH:: er I ah um oh....::inches away::
Duo: whhoaaa! let me walk will ya? ::door slams.::
Heero: What was that all about?
Trowa: ::slight blush, BIG smile:: ::Heero walks away, passing a janitor with long platinum blonde hair, mopping the floor. Quatre and Trowa go off to work on repairing sandrock together.::
Hilde: Duuuoooooo...... what exactly did Quatre mean?
Duo: nothing...::fidgets::
Hilde: nothing tells me a lot, WHAT DID HE MEAN!?!?!
::Duo is bushing and yawning at the same time. Hilde turns around, her back to duo.
Hilde:*thinking- was Quatre talking about Duo and me?*Duo, you still haven't answered me...::tapping foot::
::Hilde turns back around to find Duo asleep.::
Hilde:arg! he always takes the easy way out!
::She opens the door and leaves the room-leaving the door open::
Duo: *thinking- I hate to fool Hilde, but I don't even understand this whole thing myself... particularly whatever Trowa and Quatre's trying to do...
::Duo goes toward the door::

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Quatre: Hey Trowa.... is it just me or does that janitor look familiar?
Trowa: never mind him angel, just keep focused.
(Sakura: focus on what may I ask? ;�)
::duo peeks out the door and sees the retreating figure of Hilde, he waits a little bit longer then walks out- bumping into a man who seems to be a janitor:
Janitor: ::looks up, clears throat::
Duo: ummmm... excuse me...::starts to leave, Duo walks away from the janitor, and passes by Sandrock where Quatre and Trowa are working on it 'together. Quatre makes signals for him to talk to Heero::
Duo: still?...
Quatre: yup! ::quatre makes a pease sigh and Duo sits on Sandrock's foot:: Go with what you feel! do what you feel is right not what you think is...
Duo: huh? ::turns head to face quatre::
Quatre: just...say something complimenting to him, go on go on!
Trowa: ::thinks:: what an angel of mercy he is, always helping others...
Quatre: now c'mon, I though you were so brave, your as stubborn as Wufei today!
Duo: hey, what is this? insult duo day?!
Janitor: just talk already ya big wuss!!! I'm getting tiered of hearing all this sentimental stuff ! be aggressive damn it!!! ::janitor takes off his hat revealing himself as...::
Quatre: *gasp* MILIARDO PEACECRAFT?????? I thought you were dead!
Duo: ::gets up and walks away in the direction opposite of heero's Gundam not noticing Zechs::
Zechs: well as you can see I'm not... any way all this mushy crap is getting really sickening and-hey I think he's going for it!
Quatre: Yaaay ::waves fans with duo's face on them::
Heero: ::looks up:: what do you want...
::Duo looks up, startled::
Duo: huh?I thought you were working on your Gundam.
Heero: ::still talking to Relina:: I am. now what do you want...
Duo: *thinking-but I was heading AWAY from Gundam wing...HEY RYOKO YOU BAKA YOU SWREWED UP!!!*
(Ryoko: oops!)
(Sakura: HAHAHALOLOLOL)
(Ryoko: my bad I though he was going for it)
(Sakura: well, fix it!!!)
(Ryoko: ok!ok! sheesh...)
Heero: hey baka! get over here!
Duo: huh? are you talking to me? I may not be the perfect soldier, but I'm not stupid! ::regaining some composure::
Heero: I need ::taking major breaths:: your...help with something

Duo: What?!? THE Heero Yuy needs my help? *sheesh, first Quatre's acting weird and now Heero...*
Heero: wing needs some replacement parts.. here's the list ::hands it over:: I need you to come with me to make sure I don't get ripped off, I don't trust the seller at all.... ::looks away::
Duo: heeey now! this'll be easy! when do we leave?
Heero: now... lets go
Duo: okay ::while walking out the door, they pass by Quatre and Trowa::
Quatre: ::gives the thumbs up:: Yaaaaaay! Duo: ::whispers to Quatre:: oh shut up!
Later some where in the downtown area...
Heero: this is the place...
Duo: ugg! ::holding nose with forefinger and thumb and sounding nasally:: I guess the best way to stay hidden is to be in the background, but even I've seen better hide outs than this!
Heero: ::grunts in agreement::.... well lets go in and see ::gets his gun ready::
Duo: I guess it's a good thing I brought a collapsible beam scythe.
(Sakura: tehee ;�)
Heero: ::kicks down door:: HEY! any one here?
Duo: sheesh, couldn't we make a quiet entrance? The quiet guys always make flashy entrances.
Dealer: HEY!!!! THAT DOOR WAS EXPENSIVE!!!!!! that will cost you....100 bucks
Heero:you got these parts? ::hands over list::
Duo: ::looking around while starting to pull out the scythe:: *something doesn't feel right*
Dealer: yeah I got these give me a sec... ::comes back with a box:: here they are. that will be 10,000 dollars American...
Heero: baka... check these out first ::hands the box to Duo::

(Ryoko: oooh that sounds so cool, i am goooooood...lol)
Heero: ::whispers:: baka�. baka wake up....Duo...
::duo regains consciousness, but doesn't open his eyes, he tastes blood in his mouth and then tries to remember where he is. he can't . he opens his eyes::
Heero ::shakes Duo lightly:: Wake up... BAKA yo!!!
Duo: ::vision is blurry, but can hear Heero:: Heero?
Heero ::sigh of relief:: good your alive... yes, duo it's me. now are you ok?
Duo: ::spits out blood:: yuck! yeah i'm ok i guess.
Heero: ::sighs:: I'm....sorry ::leans down one tear is shed::
Duo: ahhh... it's okay, but my leg hurts a bit. ::grimaces in pain::
Heero: ::pulls blanket over duo more, he gives sorrowful look & starts to leave. He's noticeably crying!::

Duo: ::sitting up:: are you okay?
Heero: ::sniff:: I'm ok baka, get some rest! ::he's suddenly filled with anger,walks out the door, slams it::

Duo: how in the world could I?!? we go to get parts for his Gundam, and I wind up holding a bomb that goes off in my hands!!!
Quatre: oh my. then what happened?
Duo: I don't know. I passed out.
Quatre: oh what happened just now,i thought i heared the door slam.

Quatre: hmm... ::mutters:: did he do anything else...odd?
Duo: huh?
Quatre: did he do anything else that was odd you know...um laugh, compliment you ...cry I dunno. what else did he do before he left?
Duo: ::looking at the place on the blanket where he coughed up blood, and seeing a little damp spot near it:: hmmm... it's a tear...
Quatre: a tear?? yours?
Duo: no. but the blood is...
Quatre: ewwwwe... then the tear is Heero's! he was the only other person to come in here other than the janitor and I don't think he's too upset about this...
Duo: what janitor?
Quatre: never mind...why would Heero be crying unless...
Duo: unless what?
Quatre: ::shojo glitter and bubbles:: he has true feelings of love and friendship for you and he is deeply upset at these unfortunate turn of events ahhhhhh ::goes off::
