As stated above this is my big one zero zero, Kami it seems like another life when I first started posting here. I'd like to thank those who have helped me along the way and have loved my work all this time.
Alright let's talk about the fic now huh? The title sure as Hell better make some sense after reading the first chapter, if not I will assume you are a baka. Yes the first chapter is light hearted really but do not let that fool you, never assume anything about one of my fics. This is a semi classic 3x4 kindda thing, at least if doujinshi are anything to go by, so you'll either like it or not. As always if you want more then leave a review, anything to show you have a brain, good or bad whatever.
WarNinGs: Short, Au, Shounen-Ai, Multiple pairings, Cross dressing, Vegas setting, and a bet with Duo.

Quatre bit his lip for what felt like the hundredth time that hour; he wouldn't be surprised if his lower lip had a dent in it for a week after the last few hours. The timid blonde looked towards the door to his room and forced his mouth to open, "Duo are you sure about all of…this?"
Duo looked into the full-length mirror he had brought from his own room, messing with his bangs, "Oh come now Quatre, a little fun never hurt anyone, and you did lose the bet." Giving his bangs one last rake with his long crimson press on nails, he nodded, content with his wild look, "Besides Kitten, would I do anything to get you in trouble, or hurt, or whatever?"
"Never on purpose Duo," Quatre assured him, Duo was an impulsive, sometimes reckless young man, but he looked out for his friends. The blonde frowned, why had he made a bet with Duo anyway? His classmate from across the hall had the best luck he had ever seen and was very good at getting his way. "I've never done anything like this before, it feels strange."
"What happens in Vegas and all that Cat, besides you're too shy to hit on anyone you like so I'm …helping." Duo pouted his lips before holding up his nails and smiling, he would have hated grabbing the wrong red.
"If Rashid ever found out he would have your head shaved," Quatre reminded him, his father would likely have a stroke and die right there, but Rashid would last a little longer. "I don't even like anyone and even if I did, how will this help me?"
"Girls being shy is cute, men…well depends on the man. I happen to think you'd make a cute girl, now come out and prove me right." Duo sat down on the bed, he had spent a day thinking about all of this very hard, his plan would only work if he played it just right.
Quatre looked into the mirror before shaking his head, Duo was right, he was too shy and he did look all right he guessed. The whole bet was to get him to be more bold, he knew that, and if he wanted to take over for his father he would need that boldness, besides, Duo would be with him. Turning from the sink, he entered the room, the heels took a little getting use to, but he had pretty good balance naturally. Stopping a few feet from Duo he fidgeted a little, he looked down, "Um…well?"
Duo blinked as Quatre walked out of the bathroom, actually walking in bitch boots like a natural, very impressive. He had chosen black hot pants rather than a skirt, since Quatre was after all Quatre, and it still showed off those flawless legs of his perfectly. The red sleeveless shirt was held on by two thin straps at the back and one around his neck showing that flawless pale skin wasn't just on his legs. Standing, the braided youth looked him over as he circled him, nodding, "Yep, Rashid would have my braid, but you look great!"
"If I was a girl maybe, but I'm not use to wearing this kind of thing, let alone so little of it." Once again Quatre bit his lip, he knew that was the point but he was a very modest guy, and the woman's clothing was bad enough.
"As if, men can wear it too, and you really will knock 'em dead even if you aren't looking to," Duo winked. "If you can get over walking around like that you'll be fine in whatever you wear. Duo's rule # 18 Look good, feel good, and take no prisoners. Now let's go get some of that stuff we like to call food hm?"
Quatre opened the door before turning, "Normal food, or are you thinking of some place Rashid would faint over?" Duo just grinned and pushed Quatre out the door and into someone walking down the hall. "Duo really! Please pardon me I…" Aqua eyes stared up, lips parted from where they paused mid apology, mouth no longer working. The green eyed stranger blinked back at him, curious but silent, gaze shifting when Duo walked out into the hall.
"Please forgive my friend here, shy you know? I'm Duo, nice to meet you," Duo smiled holding out his hand, the guy was cute; he was not surprised Quatre was just staring.
"Hello Duo," Trowa greeted with a half nod as he shook the offered hand before frowning at the still blonde who just stared, staring was something he was use to. "Are you all right?"
Quatre blinked, realizing he had been asked a question but for the life of him he couldn't answer it, "I'm Quatre."
"Hello Quatre, but I didn't ask for your name," Trowa smiled when the blonde looked confused, he knew it was mean but he just couldn't help it.
"The nice man wanted to know if walking into him hurt you. I think it did so sue him," Duo half whispered from behind his hand, watching dark eyes narrow, "or not."
Quatre frowned at Duo who shrugged innocently, "Please do forgive Duo, he often doesn't think before attempting to speak." The blonde explained, his tone haughty, earning a pout from Duo and a smile from Trowa. Aqua eyes caught the innocent expression, once again captivated by the taller youth with no name.
"Don't worry about it. So you're all right then?" Trowa asked, the blonde looked fine but he kept looking at him strangely. If anything he should be getting the funny looks dressed as he was, not that it looked bad or anything. 'Vegas.'
With the repeat of the question Quatre blinked up at him before looking down, it was only fair to answer and he was being great about Duo, not everyone was. "I am fine, thank you for your concern," He smiled, looking up, it was nice when strangers proved to have manners, yet again he was frozen by a gentle smile.
"Well when one does not answer me I tend to worry just a little." Trowa turned his gaze to Duo, looking him over, "So, clubbing?"
"Why yes kind sir we are, he lost a bet, poor thing," Duo answered, placing a hand on Quatre's shoulder, "You're free to tag along handsome."
Quatre blinked before turning and frowning at Duo, how could he just invite this stranger along like that? Was this another test? He bit his lip, once again risking a glance at the stranger who was frowning in thought, "Duo?"
"I don't do heels, maybe another time," Trowa had never really been into certain clubs but he had a feeling going to one with Duo would be an interesting experience to say the least.
"You are so on!" Duo was already thinking of clubs Quatre could get to know this guy better in, ahh to be a wonderful loving friend.
"Barton!" Came an annoyed call, cutting Trowa's smile short as he turned to face his friend, well maybe not right now. "You can't just go and disappear whenever you feel like it just because you can." Wufei turned his dark glare on the pair, frowning even deeper, "And just what are you doing taking to these…people?"
Trowa sighed, he loved Wufei, he really did, but sometimes he wanted to shoot him, this being one of those times. "Chang those dinners bore the Hell out of me, and as for these people, this is Vegas remember? Indecent American's Heaven?"
"Yes I know, but you are not one of them, and I intend to keep you that way," Wufei frowned at the blonde before moving between them. "You've had your fun now come, before you get yourself in even more trouble."
Trowa frowned as he pulled his arm free, "I wasn't in trouble we were just talking. All right, stop glaring I'm coming. Are you getting paid enough for this?" Looking back he half waved half saluted the pair, laughing when Wufei grabbed his arm, unhappy with his speed.
"No, so be glad I like you," Wufei answered before rounding the corner, glad to be away from the two Americans.
"Aw he took your little crush away. Shame, he was cute too," Duo frowned, wondering what the Chinese youth would look like in tight leather pants.
"He's not my…" Quatre stopped, looking down, how could he say he wasn't when a single smile took his voice from him every time he saw it? He found the other not only attractive, but intriguing as well, something about him called out to him beyond the realm of words. It seemed as if his life was not his own, though rather than accept it, he rebelled, causing his friend grief instead of causing grief with his friend. Without Duo to remind him he had to have fun in his life he would go mad with it all, and he wondered if the dark eyed stranger had anyone like Duo around.
"You know...the name Barton sounds familiar, but hey I know lots a names thanks to Mr. TV. Hey, cheer up huh, he did say he might come along next time, and he does know where we're staying." Duo hugged his shoulders, "You mark my words young one, he'll be back."
Quatre sighed, "Why would he Duo? Chang thinks…Allah never mind, and he'll likely get in trouble, why would he come back?"
Duo smiled, "Very simple, he asked if you were all right twice when he never had to once." That spoke volumes to Duo, the fact he had not been the least bit bothered by their clothes had helped as well. "Oh and Raven Hair had to pull him from you. Did you not see him get between you two? That guy is good…and cute. You think this Barton guy will bring him along?"
"For your sake I hope he does, if he even comes back," Quatre closed his eyes, just because he had felt a connection however weak didn't mean the other young man felt a thing. 'Maybe he wanted to talk to us because of how we look? Don't think that, you don't even know his first name how can you judge him? Barton who are you?'

I have a ton of updating to do and I type slow so those fics that don't do well sit around. Sorry but that is the way it is. In the words of Eyes Only "Peace. Out."
