April's Fools
Part I
[All standard disclaimers apply.]
"It is a tale/Told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury/Signifying nothing."
Macbeth (V.v.26-28)
Relena smiled from behind the curtain as she watched Duo and Hilde walk up the drive to the front door, bickering the entire time she had been able to see them. She had invited everyone to a small house she owned in the country for a springtime vacation. As numerous date changes, everyone was able to clear their schedules for at least one week of rest and relaxation.
Giggling like the schoolgirl she never really was, Relena replaced the curtain. They were going to have some fun this week. She just knew it.
The doorbell rang. As she approached the front door, she could clearly hear the couple bantering with one another even through the thick wood. However, the pair stopped as the door opened, revealing their hostess for this little vacation.
"Hey, Relena!" Duo cried, giving her a squeezing hug.
"It's good to see you too, Duo," Relena managed to say before she was attacked similarly by Hilde.
"Thanks again for inviting us," Hilde said happily, finally releasing the other woman. "I know that this week will be fun."
Relena smiled and helped them carry their bags up the stairs to their rooms.
"Yeah, we are definitely going to have some fun," Duo stated, a mischievous grin plastered on his face.
Seeing the devilish gleam in the pilot's eye, Relena had a sinking feeling that her plans for the little gathering were about to go horribly astray.
