Proposing is Much Harder than it Looks
::MAJOR FLUFF Warning::
Disclaimer: Astra: *sniffity* We don't own GW, though we'd be very happy (and VERY rich) if we did… Shizuko: Actually…we don't own much of anything…although I do plan to rule the world…ever since Uncle Treize willed it to me…(Astra Note: Her ALIAS last name is Khushrenada) Astra: Yeah…sure you just KEEP believing that, 'ko, it distracts you… Shizuko: *ignoring Astra* And Mariemaia CONTESTED the will, too! She thought SHE'D be strong enough to rule… Astra: Blah blah blah blah… Shizuko: …but we all know she wasn't. Oh well, she's nice as just a cousin. Astra: ANYWAY if you're DONE….we DON'T own GW, aren't making any money off this, and DON'T sue (pls?) Shizuko: 'cause if you sue, you'll be the first to go when my troops take over. *insanelaughter* Astra: *snicker*
DA FIC!
Chapter One: Gundam Pilots May be Good at SOME Things…
Heero had a problem. He had NO idea WHATSOEVER on how to propose marriage to Relena. The Perfect Soldier who had assassinated numerous political figures, destroyed several cities single-handedly, saved the world (TWICE), attempted suicide regularly (all for a good cause, of course), and managed to survive landing on his head frequently, most brain cells intact, was now utterly at a loss as how to ask ONE SINGLE QUESTION.
So he decided to do something (though not entirely wise) about it. He decided to ask Duo.
Well…Duo HAD managed to get Hilde to marry him…

"…you're FINALLY gonna propose? COOL!" was Duo's first comment. But before he could tell Heero anything USEFUL, Hilde walked in.
"Who's proposing?"
Heero mumbled something unintelligible and raised his hand slightly.
"COOL!"
No WONDER they're perfect for each other. They were MEANT for each other.
"So, how are you going to ask her?"
"I don't KNOW, Duo, that's why I ASKED you for advice thirty seconds ago…"
"Oh, right…how did I propose to you, Hilde?"
"You didn't."
"Oh, YEAH. You proposed to me…over a nice STEAK…I 'member now…you better ask her, Heero…I have no experience…"
Heero shook his head despairingly.
"Well, Heero, you should start by…"
"Was I drunk when you asked, Hilde? I think I might have been…"
WHACK!
Hilde continued. "…making sure the atmosphere is JUST right…it makes your chances MUCH more favorable…"
"Yup, I was drunk, I definitely think so…maybe THAT'S the atmosphere thing she's talking about…"
WHACK!
Perhaps this isn't the couple to ask…
"Well uh, thanks for the advice…I got to go…somewhere…"

All right. Trowa is sane, right?
Heero heard an elephant's trumpet nearby.
WHAT do I think I'm DOING? The guy lives on a CIRCUS…Heero found Trowa sitting in his trailer reading. He looked up as Heero entered and nodded his greeting.
"I need some advice…I want to ask Relena to marry me," Trowa's book fell to the floor; Heero didn't notice, "…but I don't know HOW…"
Heero looked at Trowa who just looked back. Finally, Trowa said, "I'm not married, I'm not even DATING, why are you asking ME?" He leaned over and picked up his book. "For all I know you just have to hand her the ring, no words required."
Wouldn't that be perfect?
"Are you sure?"
"As I said, for all I know."
Well…that doesn't seem too hard…
"But what if she doesn't get it?"
Trowa shrugged.

All right…QUATRE should know…
When Heero walked into Quatre's living room, he found the other boy watching The Princess Bride.
Well, THIS looks VERY promising!
"…Mawage…mawage is whawt bwings us together tooday…" (A/N: This is a line, said by the Honorable Bishop, from TPB, translated: Marriage, marriage is what brings us together today.)
Yes, VERY promising.
Quatre gave a slight sniff, still oblivious to Heero's arrival. "Hurry up, Westley," sniffled Quatre. "You've GOT to make it in time."
Heero cleared his throat slightly, and Quatre squeaked. "AH!! Heero! When did you get here?" He snapped off the TV, his face turning a fascinating shade of crimson.
"I've been here long enough. I won't blackmail you for watching a chick flick without a chick if you give me some advice."
"Yeah…sure…what do you need?"
"I'm asking Relena to marry me. How do I do it?"
"That's LOVELY!! Well, you need flowers, lots of flowers and pretty things and…"
"So I BRIBE her?"
"Of course not!" Quatre looked shocked. "You're just showing your appreciation for her!"
"It all sounds the same to me."
"Well, it isn't. And if you need a loan, just ask. And remember, ATMOSPHERE…it's all about ATMOSPHERE!"
"That's what Duo and Hilde said. I'll be going now."
"Okay." Quatre picked up the remote again as Heero left.

"So that's the advice I need, Wufei…"
"You mean you ACTUALLY WANT to MARRY her? Are you NUTS?" Wufei said, flailing his arms around. "DON'T do it…I know from experience…"
"Wufei, can you come here?" Heero heard Sally call.
Wufei grimaced, "…twice." He turned around, heading in the direction of Sally's voice.
O-kay…

Heero STILL didn't know what to do.
