A braided hair teenage boy known as Duo Maxwell sighed as he looked out the window of the school bus. His class was going on a field trip to the L1 Entertainer. Everyone was excited, chattering to one another, but Duo was the only exception. He sat in the very last seat in the back, gazing at nothing.

He had no friends and supposed it was mostly his fault more than others. For one, he always wore a black priest's outfit that his deceased grandfather 1> gave him. Two, he had a 4.5 foot long braid of hair that any girl would kill to have. He refused to cut it off. People just thought him weird.

The bus stopped soundly in its parking space and the students began to exit the automobile. From below, the class teacher, Mr. Merquise was watching for one student in particular, Duo. He was one of his quietest students, and the only one who could speak Japanese.

Behind a group of giggling preps came the student in question, dragging his feet lethargically, obviously thrust in deep thought. He watched the small boy silently move to the back of the line. It almost seemed like every other student in the class was repelling away from him. He was staring blankly at nothing. The teacher found himself sorely fascinated by the mysterious Duo Maxwell, and wondered what could possibly be running through his head. He also wondered why he didn't have any friends.

The class filed into the huge building and took some their seats in a really big room with a huge stage at its front. It seemed that they were going to see a show before the tour.

When everyone was seated, ushers dressed in tight fitting turtle necks and short mini skirts came down the aisles passing out programs. All the boys in the class was practically drooling (besides Duo) and girlfriends were clonking their boyfriends across the head for doing so.

Duo looked over his program. It was a dance show with a cast of electronica/techno/break dancers known as "Gundanium". It was a weird name for a dance group.

Suddenly the lights dimmed until it was pitch black and all of a sudden huge lights began to form onstage and techno Japanese music began to play. It was the intro round where the dancers come out and are introduced.

You are being taken under our power, through your destination

Duo recognized the song right away. He loved the song very much and soon he began to sing along with it as the dancer began to leap onto the stage.

Wakatta furi de una zuki
Tsukuri egao kaeshitara
Ii hito datte arekore
Oshi tsukerare ochi konde

"Triton Bloom!" a male voice announced and soon a very tall teenage boy leapt from the very back of the stage impossibly high into the air, spinning and jack knifed into a flip to land on his feed. He then proceeded to do a series of hand springs and round offs, ending with a high flip then landing on two steady feet the stage. The audience was amazed and applauded. HE was a brunette and his hair fell strangely over one side of face. He wore a emerald green skin tight suit (kinda like an exercise suit or spandex) and he had an electronic pack that was latched on his waist that connected to a pair of head phones he had on his ears with a mouth piece. The audience guessed it was just the music they we're listening to, or maybe the steps. He also had skin tight bands between his shoulder and elbow. Now it was the boys turn to scowl at their girlfriends.

Shijou aijou umaku tsutaetai yo motto
Akirame jouzu nante narenai mitame yorimo fukeru dake

As soon as he began to step to the side, the announcer called another name, "Hilde Schbeiker!" A girl with very short black hair flipped onto a stage and began dancing in a sensual, club like fashion that seemed to mesmerize the crowd until she stopped in a pose and walked aside. She wore the same as Triton but her suit was dark purple and she had a skirt bottom. The crowd applauded for her, especially the boys.

Kokoro kara suki da to ieru wake ga nai desho
Dakedo mou anata to tomodachi toka iya desho
Jibun nari suteki to omou mucha wo yarimasho
Maemuki ni gekiteki shunkan mezashi ikimasho

"Dorothy Catalonia!" was next. This time it was a girl with very long hair like Duo. She was a blonde she had very long stylish eyebrows. She came in a fashion such as like Hilde, but there was something about the way she moved that made it differently. It seemed to be more sexually than hers. She wore the same as Hilde, but hers was a very dark, deep, bloodshot red. The crowd was being amazed more and more.

Nige michi tsukuru koto karaJ
unbi shita cha taitei ga
Mazui yokan mo atatte
Kekkyoku mata furi dashide

Once Dorthy stepped aside, "Quatre Winner!" was announced. Now this kind of shocked the crowd. This boy looked to innocent to be in a place like this. He had these amazing sapphire eyes that were pure innocence. He wore a sky blue suit like Trowa's and did a lot of flips and off springs, but they weren't as fluid as Trowa's, but it wasn't bad either. The crowd applauded.

"Daijoubu da" to konkyo no nai jishin de ii
Juu nen saki wa daremo shiranai kangaereba kiri ga nai

"Catherine Bloom!" She seemed to have a resemblance of Trowa, and everyone figured that they were sister and brother somehow. She had brown/reddish curly hair and wore a lighter green than Trowa had on. Now she seemed like a dancer who liked gymnastics, and she loved to dance near the floor. She seemed to like doing flips, and round offs, but none the less. It was cool. She was praised for it.

Saisho kara warikiru otona nante muri desho
Yo no naka no mujun ni nayami makuru dake desho
Jibun nari koukai shinai kakugo aru desho
"Psycho" ni kanjiru keiken suru no ima desho

"Our small one! Mariemaia Khushranada!" A young girl who looked to be about thirteen came onto the stage. She had deep red hair and there was a little flush on her cheeks. She danced in an electronica fashion and danced in a manner of posses. She seemed really shy and blushed furiously when she was applauded. She wore a lavender suit.

More series of names, mostly male were called until the last two dancers were called.

You are being taken under our power, through your destination,
nation, nation, nation, nation...

"Our head Female Dancer, Relena Darlian!" The crowd clapped furiously when she came out. She danced in a series of dance styles put together for feminine fashion. It was no wonder she was highly talented. She had on a light pink suit.

Shijou aijou umaku tsutaetai yo motto
Akirame jouzu nante narenai mitame yorimo fukeru dake

"And last, but not least. The most experienced dancer in all the colonies! Heero Yuy!" The crowd went wild before he was even onstage and when he did, it was no joke. He leaped like a jack knife onto the stage, but inside of spinning before landing, he made it look like he was about to fall head first into the ground, but at the last minute, he flipped and landed softly. He danced fluidly of many techno and electronica styles. It was no wonder he was the best. His suit was black and had a small angel wing on the back of his suit.

Kokoro kara suki da to ieru wake ga nai desho
Dakedo mou anata to tomodachi toka iya desho

When Heero finished and posed, he looked into the crowd and someone caught his attention. There was a teenage boy about his age sitting at the end of the 4th row. He was the most beautiful fey creature he'd ever seen. But the boy seemed to have this sad look in his eyes; as if he had always been alone . . . Heero just kept staring as the other dancers lined up beside him and followed his pose. The audience applauded all of them with catcalls as well, but this meant nothing to Heero. He was intrigued by the boy in the 4th row.

Jibun nari suteki to omou mucha wo yarimasho
Maemuki ni gekiteki shunkan mezashi ikimasho

The music finally ended as did the intro. Duo wasn't paying attention to anything, as soon as Heero entered on stage, everything else vanished. He was intrigued by him. His eyes looked cold and empty, but there seemed to be a depth behind them as well. Suddenly, the boy looked back at him and their eyes mat. Cobalt to amethyst. Duo was taken away from his staring by the girl who squealed next to him.

"Oh my gosh! Did you see the way Heero's looking at me! He's so hot! I wonder if he's taken!" she squealed.

The girl on the other side of her answered, "Well, it says here that he only speaks Japanese. In fact all of them only speak Japanese! Well, that's a bummer. But he's so hot. I wonder if we can find a translator. Who do we know who speaks Japanese? Oh!" she turned to look on the other side of her friend and look at Duo, then wrinkled her little nose. "Never mind. There's no way I'm using Maxwell."

Duo turned back to look at Heero, but the boy had already turned away. The boy was the first thing that caught his attention at all during the show. Duo had mastered all of the dance moves that were performed and there had not been one move that he hadn't seen before, but the show was still good.

The lights had come on and a man with brown reddish hair came upon the stage. "Hello everyone. I hope you enjoyed our intro. My name is Treize Khushranada, the founder of this group called "Gundanium". For now, we will give you the tour of our center. Each of you have already been divided into groups. As a treat, your escorts will be the dancers. We'll call your name and come up when you're called. Ok? Ok, let's start. For the Dorothy Catalonia group . . . Holly Macintyre!" A blonde girl walled down the aisles and stood next to Dorothy. All the dancers had jumped off the stage and were either standing or sitting on the edge of the stage.

"D Smith!"

"Alisha Johnson!"

"Rachel Replens!"

"Jent Allison!"

Soon most of the groups were sorted except for Heero and Relena's. Duo was hoping that he would get picked to be into Heero's group.

Heero, who was sitting on stage, looked up. The fey boy hadn't been picked yet and he was hoping that he was on his group.

"Okay, for Heero's group." Mr. Khushranada announced. "Duo Maxwell!" Duo blushed and got out of his seat. His wish came true. As he walked down the aisle, most of the students were glaring and muttering to each other things such as. 'I forgot he was even in our class,' 'The lucky bastard,' 'Who does he think he is?'

Heero was shocked. He got his fey! He felt like leaping for joy, but of course, that'd have to wait until he was in his room. He never lost control. So the fey's name was Duo. Duo Maxwell. It seemed to be stuck in his brain now. 'Now the only problem is to figure out if he's straight or not.' He thought.

It seemed like forever until Duo finally made it to the stage, but he did. He made sure not to look back at the audience, it was too embarrassing.

Everyone was sorted and Mr. Khushranada was talking to Mr. Merquise while the students were trying to talk to the dancers. They were failing miserable. Every time they spoke, they'd give them this confused look.

But Heero didn't tolerate any of it. He glared at all of them coldly at all them and got them to shut up. Then he said roughly in his native tongue. "If any of you stupid idiots can't speak my language then shut the fuck up and get out of my face! Geeze, can't you leave me alone!" Of course none of them knew what he said accept for Duo. They had blank faces of confusion. Duo on the other hand was cracking up along with some of the other dancers. Soon Duo was laughing and all the students were looking at him like he was crazy. He looked up at Heero and smiled and spoke Japanese effortlessly to him like a native.

"Don't you think that was a little harsh?" Duo asked shyly.

Heero looked startled at what he heard. The fey could talk Japanese! On the inside he was smirking. He wouldn't have to talk to any of the other students accept for Duo. That was good. Heero turned to Duo and smirked. "These bastards deserved it." He said pointing to the dumbfounded students. "They wouldn't leave me alone. They're acting like two year olds."

The rest of the dancers and Duo laughed at that.

"True, they always do. But they still didn't know you only spoke Japanese." Duo said.

Heero snorted.

Treize who had been listening to the conversation turned to Duo and began to speak in English. "Duo's right. Hey, why don't you be a translator for your group?"

"Um . . . ok. If no one minds" he said blushing.

Mr. Merquise stepped in. He hoped that this would bring the boy out of his shell. "Go ahead. I may even add this to your grade even if you don't need it." He smiled.

"Um . . . ok." Duo said nodding. He turned to Heero to tell him what they said in Japanese, but the boy already nodded. This made Duo think he knew more than he let on.

x(X)x>

So the day went on, Heero telling Duo about the place and Duo telling the students in English. Many of the students looked at Duo loathingly and gave Duo's braided a nasty tug to tell him what they thought of him.

Duo winced again as they made their way to the restaurant as his braid got pulled once again. Heero saw this and shot a glare at the person. Duo held back for a while to pull himself together.

When he entered the restaurant that the class occupied, he saw that all the seats were taken. All accept one seat at the table which was occupied by some of the main dancers (accept for Mariemaia sitting with her father), and it was by Heero. Heero nodded at Duo to come sit by him.

Quatre saw Duo standing there all alone and looked around to see that all the seats were taken up by students and they weren't even offering to let him join in. He wondered how anyone could be so mean. He looked at Duo's saddened face and called out to him (In Japanese of course). "Duo, wanna come sit with us?" he asked. Duo nodded and came over; the students glaring at him all the way.

"It's about time!" Hilde said joyfully in Japanese, "I was wondering why you were just standing there. I mean, don't you have any friends that would help you?" She cut herself off at the look on Duo's face that told her she had said the wrong thing.

"I . . . I don't have any . . . friends." Duo said shyly.

Quatre looked shocked, "Why not!"

Duo shrugged, "I don't know. Nobody likes me."

"Well, I don't see anything wrong with you! So you can consider us yours friends!" Relena said happily. Everyone else nodded in agreement. Duo blushed crimson. Heero caught a glimpse of the blush and thought it made Duo look cute.

As they talked Heero kept on sneaking glances at Duo when he thought he wasn't watching and Duo doing the same. During the conversation he noticed that Quatre and Trowa seemed to lean on each other. Dorothy seemed to keep on whispering things into Relena's ear making her blush a little, and Hilde had her arm wrapped around Catherine's waist. If he didn't know any better he would have thought that they were . . .

"I got it!" squealed Hilde taking Duo out of his thoughts. "Let's play a game! We always play a game when we meet someone new!"

"Yea!" said Dorothy. "Heero, you choose. You're good at choosing!"

Heero nodded and thought for a moment. He wanted to find out if this guy was straight or not, so if he made a move, it wouldn't be a mistake. Then, he had it! "Let's play flipper!"

Trowa chuckled softly at that. "Heero, you're so peculiar."

Duo looked thunderstruck. "What's flipper?"

"Ok, here's the deal." Relena said. Everyone sat up straight for some reason. "To play flipper you must find out how us six are coupled excluding Heero because he hasn't found anyone yet. Now I'll give you one hint. None of us are straight." She grinned.

Duo blushed so red that it looked like Dorothy's suit. All of the dancers were smiling innocently. But he did get a little turned on at this. That was all that Heero needed to see. He knew that Duo was gay, no doubt his reactions. Heero inwardly grinned.

Duo wanted to get this over as quickly as possible so he said all the couples fast. "It's DorothyandRelena, QuatreandTrowa, and HildeandCatherine." He said this all in one breath to the shocked group around them.

"Wow . . ." said Catherine in awe. "That was fast. How'd you know?" she asked.

"Um . . . well . . ." Duo was hesitant.

Everyone leaned on the table and stared at Duo expectantly with wide eyes.

"Um. . .well, Quatre kept leaning on Trowa, Dorothy kept whispering into Relena's ear making her blush, and Hilde had her arm around Catherine's waist."

Everyone sat back down. "Well, you're a very observant kid." Dorothy said, "Cool! Oooo! The food's here! Let's eat!"

x(X)x>

Well, the trip ended all too soon for Duo. It was the most fun he'd had in a long time. When it was time to leave, they exchanged phone numbers, IM's and email addresses.

"Now Duo, whenever you need to talk call us, ok?" Hilde said. "We'll be there!" she winked.

"Um . . . ok. Thank you . . . for being my friend!" Duo said beaming. "I've never had friends before."

"Well ya do now and that's all that matters!" Relena said smiling.

"Thank you." Duo said before running to the bus and turning around. "Bye!"

"Bye!" the dancers said in unison.

x(X)x>

On the bus, Duo took his usual back seat and gazed out the window. When Mr. Merquise looked at him, he noticed that his eyes brightened a bit over the field trip and noticed a piece of paper in his hand. He smiled. Duo finally had some friends. . .

1> His deceased godfather is Father Maxwell.

Oh, and the song is called 'Deshow' by the famous Japanese group called Two-Mix!
