Chapter 1
"Duo baby, come on!" Lily shouted out to her boyfriend. He was still inside gathering stuff for their trip. They had rented a cabin out in the woods to spend some time with just them and their friends, and Lily was growing quite impatient. It was a secluded space, so they didn't have to worry about interruptions from any annoying neighbors or whatever.
Lily stood outside next to the van that Heero had rented for the trip. Her hand was to her waist as she tapped her foot on the ground. Sighing, she tossed her waist length black hair with its red tips behind her and rolled those beautiful violet eyes of hers. "Duo, if you don't get out here on the count of five we're leaving and you'll have to ride with Relena in her pink limo. One… two… th…"
"I'm here!" Duo shouted as he ran out of the house carrying a box of food. Lily knew the threat of riding the pink limo would work. Sure, if Duo had to ride with Relena there was always the chance to make fun of her, but he swore he would never get into that pink limo. He threw the box into the pink limo and climbed into the van after Lily who positioned herself between both Wufei and Duo. The braided boy took his girlfriend's hand and glared those cobalt blue eyes of his at Wufei. Wufei of course ignored the boy and started a conversation with Lily.
Lily, oblivious to her boyfriend's jealousy took her hand from him and turned her back to him so she could face the Chinese boy as they spoke.
Up front was Heero and Sakura. Sakura chatted merrily as Heero only listened, nodding every now and then so the girl knew he was listening.
"Why does Lily insist on being such close friends with Wufei?" Sakura asked her boyfriend. "She knows how jealous Duo gets."
"Are you sure?" Heero asked the girl. "Lily knows Duo hates her relationship with Wufei but she doesn't know why. She is unaware of the fact that Wufei still loves her."
"How can she not see it?"
"She thinks that Wufei has moved on just as she has. What was once them is just that… all in the past."
"I don't understand how she could just fall right out of love with him. Their love for one another was so strong," Sakura commented as she sighed and sank back into her chair.
"It's not that she fell out of love for him. It's that she fell more in love with someone else. She will always love Wufei, but for her, Duo comes first," Heero explained to the girl.
"Does Duo know this?" Sakura asked.
"Why do you think he gets so jealous?" Behind him, Heero could hear Lily's usual sweet laughter from the very back of the van. He glanced into his rear view mirror and sighed when he saw the dark look in Duo's eyes. Would they all be able to survive this trip or what?
In the middle seats sat two girls, Jen and Micki. They were engaged in a quiet conversation with one another, basically ignoring the others around them. Jen heard her cousin's laughter and turned for a moment to see what was so funny. All she saw though was Lily talking to Wufei while Duo glared at the two of them. Jen smiled at the sight.
"So Duo!" Jen started. "Did you bring it?" This of course caught everyone's attention.
"Bring what?" Lily asked her boyfriend.
Jen laughed as Duo's eyes got wide and he tried to change the subject. He had turned to Jen for help but she had already returned to her conversation with Micki.
Lily poked her boyfriend, regaining his attention as she continued to try and pry the information out of him. Lily of course never returned to her conversation with Wufei, her curiosity more important. This of course gave Wufei a chance to meditate, the chaotic noise perfect practice.
"Do you think he's okay?" Relena asked her friends, referring to Heero of course. Dorothy sighed, clearly annoyed with the girl.
"Get over it," Dorothy told her. "He has a girlfriend."
"I don't think he really loves her," Relena explained. "Maybe she forced him into dating her."
"Yeah right. Like Heero can be forced into anything," Hilde commented and Relena glared at the girl.
"He was forced. I know he was. Maybe she threatened my life," Relena proclaimed.
"She wouldn't even bother threatening," Dorothy explained. "You're not even worth her time. Look, Heero chose on his own to date the girl."
"He did not!" Relena sobbed. "Heero would never go out with that girl. I'm so much better than her."
The girls all turned their looks to the other side of the limo where Quatre and Trowa were sitting when they heard a sigh. They watched Quatre place a hand to his temple and then stare back at them. He seemed to force a smile, probably tired of all their arguing.
"Relena, please accept that Heero has chosen Sakura all on his own. Whether you are better or not really isn't for you to decide. It is the decision of the one doing the dating and he must have chosen Sakura for a reason. He is quite happy with the girl so please don't twist their relationship into something it is not." He watched as Relena crossed her arms and started pouting. He began to wonder if she was still five or something. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to his friend Trowa. The boy with the uni-bang just nodded his head and Quatre sighed, leaning back in his seat. This was going to be a long trip.
"Quatre, you really are such a great friend," Dorothy spoke up as she moved from her seat to the one next to the blonde boy. "They are lucky to have a friend such as you."
"I'm not just their friend Dorothy," the Arabian boy explained as she patted him on the head.
"I know my dear. You're such a sweetheart." Dorothy blinked as she looked out the window and suddenly squealed as she saw a cabin coming up. "We're here!"
Everyone else blinked and stared out the window. Sure enough, they had arrived. The cabin was pretty big, but if anyone could afford it, it was more than half the people in this group. Lily of course had been the one to provide the cabin this time. It had after all been her and Duo's idea to spend time as the group on a week vacation away from everything else.
As the limo came to a stop, Hilde stared out the window, shivers traveling up her spine. The cabin was beautiful and she knew it would fit everyone in their group, but there was something that bothered her. The water was crystal clear and flowers outlined the cabin, giving it a sort of at home feel, so she couldn't understand what. Hilde shrugged and climbed out of the limo. When she looked up Lily had been staring blankly out into the water.
"Lily, is something wrong?" she asked as she approached the girl.
Lily blinked and turned to the girl, suddenly smiling. "Nope. Just admiring the water. It's so clear." She tucked her hair behind her ear and turned back to the group. Everyone was gathering stuff out of the limo and bringing it into the cabin.
Hilde watched as Lily bounced over to her friends and offered to help Duo with some of the boxes. Duo of course smiled and told her no so Lily just tagged along with the boy. Hilde looked over seeing Wufei by himself as he pulled the last of the bags out of the limo. She walked over and smiled at him.
"Wufei, I can help with those if you like."
Wufei shook his head. "No, it's okay. I've got it."
Hilde frowned but nodded her head. "If you say so." She then followed the rest of the group into the cabin. Inside the cabin was a lot larger than it looked outside. There were only six rooms, so most everyone had to share a room. That wasn't a problem actually and was quite easy to decide. First pair was Lily and Duo, followed by Heero and Sakura. Jen and Micki also got their own room. Relena, Dorothy and Hilde all got stuck in one room together while Quatre and Trowa got to share another room. The only one without a roommate was Wufei. It worked out though because Wufei preferred being alone to being around other people.
The first place Lily headed to of course was the kitchen where she started preparing dinner. Not too long after, Sakura joined her. The two girls worked in the kitchen while the rest of their friends put all their stuff away in their rooms.
Heero sat in the TV room flipping through channels that were of course all static. Sighing, he finally turned it off and walked into the kitchen where his two favorite girls were at. While Heero was a quiet person and never really said much, underneath that anti-social exterior of his they knew lied deep love for Sakura and a brotherly instinct for Lily. Lily and Heero had grown up together. Lily's two best friends were Sakura and Heero and one day she'd just had this strange idea to hook them up. Obviously it worked.
There was a scream upstairs and the three ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs to where it had come from. There seemed to be a gathering outside of one of the rooms and Heero shoved his way through the group to see what was going on. There in the room was Relena curled on one of the beds. Upon seeing Heero though she had immediately jumped up and clung to him, sobbing into his shirt.
"There are rats in this place. That girl got us a cabin with rats," she complained. Heero sighed and pried the girl off.
"She has a name. Respect it or go home."
"Without me you can't go home easily," she mocked. "I brought half of you here, plus all your stuff."
"Oh, I'm sure we can find a way," Heero told the girl. He then turned away from her and headed back downstairs with Lily and Sakura. They all entered the kitchen where Heero then proceeded to help them prepare dinner. It really was going to be a long week.
AN: Review please! I'd really like to know how it is!!!
