Tap. Tap.
Tap.
"Hello
anybody in there?"
"Hn."
"Come
on get up lazy," said a far to cheerful voice for 8 am on a Saturday morning.
"Argh,
go away. It's my day off. "
"Sorry,
no can do, Heero. We have to get this
place cleaned up. Cause, before you even ask, we have a party to host
tomorrow. So we get to clean to day and
get everything set up."
"Duo,
it's to early in the morning for your practical jokes. Good night," Heero stated while rolling over
for more sleep.
"Actually
it's good morning. Now get your cute
butt out of bed."
"No."
"Yes. We need to start cleaning," Duo said pulling
back the covers that Heero was desperately holding on to.
"Fine
I am getting up. Now, leave me be so I
can dressed."
"All right
I will start something for breakfast.
Pancakes sound all right?"
"Yes. Whatever," Heero said pulling out, you
guessed it, a green tank top and jeans.
Walking
into the kitchen Duo pulled out the makings for pancakes while going over the
list of things to do before the party tomorrow. Now let's see- we need to clean the kitchen, living room, dining
room, the patio and backyard, and the front yard. I think that's it. Now
for the pancakes.
While getting dressed Heero
was still trying to figure out how he got suckered into this little
fiasco. For the life of him he still
couldn't figure it out. Oh well he knew
he couldn't get out of it even if he tried.
Duo would just give him the damn Bambi eyes and he would melt. Though the thought of see his old friends
and comrades was appealing. That way he
and Duo could make their big announcement while they were all there. Idly he also thought of how Hilde and Relena
were going to take it more than everybody else. He sighed and went out to see how breakfast was coming.
Walking out he could smell cinnamon
and sugar Duo put in the pancakes and a slight smile made its way to his
lips. Walking behind Duo he wrapped his
arms around him and gave a small kiss to Duo's temple.
"Those smell good," Heero remarked.
"Thanks, I had some help on the
recipe," Duo remarked smiling a little, "and they're almost done. So go sit down."
"Duo, can you please tell how I
agreed to do this party?" Heero asked a
little suspicious making his to the table.
A sheepish grin covered Duo face,
"Well I asked while you and Lena were just chatting about new security measures
for her house and you said and I quote 'Sure Duo whatever you want.' So we are having a party. I figured that way we could make are
announcement to everyone."
"I thought so," Heero sighed, "But
the announcement did cross my mind. But
did you think about Hilde and Relena?"
"Oh no, I didn't even think about
that. Are you afraid what they are
going to think?" Duo blurted out just
realizing that factor.
"Yes it did cross my mind. I am hoping for their support. But you never know even thought we have been
living together for two years. But you
never know," Heero replied.
"Well they said they would help out
tomorrow with all the food," Duo stated.
"Oh really?"
"Yep, they volunteered for it. They said that we had other things to do to
get setup so they said they were going to help with the food. And it's almost nine and we should get
started."
Later that evening, after the house
and yards were nearly spotless, the phone rang.
"Hello," Duo answered.
"Hey Duo, how are you?" Relena asked on the other end.
"Oh hey Princesses. I am doing fine. What can I do for you?"
"I was just wondering what me and
Hilde need to bring tomorrow for the food?"
"Give me a second to check."
" Ok."
"Um…. Oh I forgot stuff for the
vegetable platter. Do you think you
guys could bring that?"
"Sure thing Duo. Anything else?"
"Nope that's it. What time are you guys planning to come over
tomorrow?"
"Um we figured about ten in the
morning. If that is all right. We figured that we had a lot of stuff to do"
"Ten's fine with us. We'll see you then. Bye."
"Bye."
~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning just after ten
Hilde and Relena showed up.
"Hey you two ready for some major
cooking?" Duo asked.
"Yep," replied Hilde," I even
brought over some of my CD's. So let's
get cracking."
For three hours Heero, Duo, Hilde
and Relena were chopping, mixing and cooking everything. Idle conversation bounced back and forth
between Duo and the girls while Heero listened to the conversation.
"Well I am starting to see a guy
from the sweepers. You might remember him Duo.
His name is Greg Blackburn. He
seems pretty nice," Hilde told everyone.
"Oh Greg? Yeah he's pretty cool.
Great sense of humor," Duo supplied, "How bout you Lena seeing anyone
lately?"
"I am trying to but I just don't
have the time. I've had a few dates
with an old classmate but I don't think it's going to work out," Relena
reflected.
"Hey don't worry Lena you'll find
somebody," Duo said cheerfully.
"Your right. But I am not too worried about it now. Let's finish this up we only have two hours
before three," Relena pointed out.
"Right."
~*~*~*~*~*
"Duo, Heero!" a voice called out.
"Quatre, how are you and where's
Trowa?" Dou greeted them.
"I'm fine. Trowa is over talking to Lady Une. So why did you and Heero hold this party?" Quatre inquired.
"Me and Heero have an announcement
to make and we wanted everyone here for it."
"Oh what is the big
announcement? You seem pretty nervous,"
Quatre said, then a slow smile spread across his face, "Oh I know what it
is. Congratulations. But why are you so nervous?"
"We don't know how Hilde and Relena
are going to take it," Duo said sounding a bit apprehensive.
"Duo I really don't think you have
to worry about them."
"Whatever you say Q-man. Oh well, I am going to snag Heero and see if
we and get it over with. Later."
With that Duo meandered his way over
to Heero to see if he want to go now.
While Quatre went to find Trowa.
Walking up to the front of the yard
with Heero, Duo cleared his throat, "Excuse me everyone! I have an announcement to make." Waiting a bit and getting everyone's
attention. "Thank you. As I was saying, I, I mean, we have an
announcement to make." Looking at Heero
for encouragement, Duo plugged ahead, " Heero and I are planning to get married
sometime in the next year."
Silence for a moment went over the
yard. Then a loud applause was heard.
"Congratulations you guys," Quatre
said after making his way up to the front of the yard.
"Like wise, Maxwell, Yuy," came from
Wufie. Much to their surprise.
Everyone came up to congratulate the
men save two. But that was soon
forgotten and the party went on for another hour. After nearly everyone came up and congratulated them, the
partygoers slowly tricked out of the yard and house and left. Leaving four people still in the yard and a
large mess. Seeing Hilde and Relena
still in the yard with them all the men's anxiety came back.
"Hey you two," Duo said as they
approached them.
Putting on a bright smile Relena
looked up at them from her position on the lounge chair and gesturing for them
both to sit. "Hey congratulations. I was wondering when you were going to get
to the your announcement. I didn't want
to go up during the party cause everyone I think was expecting a big scene."
"Yeah me too. Congratulations. So do you know when you plan on getting married?" Hilde asked.
"No, not yet. Maybe sometime next spring or early summer,"
Heero answered, " are you guys mad at us for not telling you first?"
Relena spoke up first, "What! No!
Of course not. Just a bit
disappointed that you that you didn't say anything earlier. But on a lighter note if you want a place
for the ceremony you are welcome to my estate's gardens."
Then Hilde chimed in, "No, Just a
bit depressed now."
Taking the bait Duo spoke up, "Why?"
Smiling Relena said, "Now that it's
official. There are two less cute guys
to go after in this world."
Grinning like an idiot Duo supplied,
"Well Lena I could hook you up if ya like."
"No way Duo Maxwell," Relena
practically yelled, "I remember the last time you tried to hook me up. I will find my own dates thank you."
"Well we better get the yard cleaned
up before we get any scavengers around here," Heero stated. And with that they all set to clean up the
yard.
Later after Hilde and Relena went
home, Duo and Heero were laying bed recalling the day.
"Ya know Heero I can't belive we
worried so much about Lena and Hilde," Duo said pressing up against Heero.
"Mmmm….. I know we shouldn't have
been worried. But they are close
friends and we do value their opinion," Heero said putting his arms around Duo,
"We need to go to sleep we have to be at Relena's by nine tomorrow." Then kissing duo lightly on the forehead
they both settled into sleep.

So what did
you think? Was it bad? Please give me feedback. Oh and in case your wondering Heero and Duo
are Relena's bodyguards during the day.
Again give me feedback and should I do another chapter to this?
