A.N. - Hey! back again with the 4th part! sorry it took so long...i'm getting
lazier...anyways......no, i don't own gundam wing or tenchi muyo..... :( but, on with the
fic!!!!!



Diner went on sucessfully after Ryoko and Ayeka returned. Everyone made small
talk around their mouthfulls of sushi. The waiter cleared the table and Tenchi had paid the
bill.
With a mischevious look in her eyes Ayeka exclaimed, "Let's all go down into the
gardens for dancing! Since there are only two men, we'll just have to take turns!" The
group made their way from the balcony down into the garden where the dance floor was.
"Of course I will have the first dance with Tenchi! Hmm...Ryoko! Why don't you take the
first dance with Heero!" Ryoko realized that she, Heero, Tenchi, and Ayeka were the
only people left standing in the garden. Somehow in the short amount of time that the
group had been there, Kione, Sesami, Mihoshi, and Washu had left. Ayeka and Tenchi
were already waltzing around the dance floor.
Heero offered his hand to Ryoko *what the hell am i doing? oh well...* "Would
you care to dance?"
"Sure," Ryoko responded, her cheeks turning a rosy color. Heero proceeded to
walk Ryoko onto the dance floor without ripping off her arm. The two started dancing to
a soft, slow song. The couple became lost in their thoughts as they floated around the
floor. *It feels so right to be in his arms* thought Ryoko, *I want to stay here forever*.
*Why am I not running away or threatening her life?* Heero contemplated. This
was the first - no, second - time he had danced with anyone. The first time was with
Relena at the St. Gabriel's school dance. *This time I'm not dancing because someone
else wanted me to dance...this time it was ME who did the asking. I'm starting to have
feelings, and i think I like it...* The pair's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden streak of
lightning across the sky followed shortly after by a crash of thunder. Then the rain came
pouring down from the sky.
Heero grabbed Ryoko's hand and they ran to the saftey of the Red Dragon's main
building. Tenchi and Ayeka could be seen just ahead of them. The group of four, soaked
and shivering, called for a cab to take them home.

When they arrived, Ryoko and Ayeka immediately went into the steam bath where
the other girls had been since they had gotten back earlier. Everyone was dying to know
what happened after they had left, so Ayeka told the tale.

~~~~~

"So, Heero, I've been told by sources that shall remain nameless that Ryoko likes
you," Tenchi said in one of those sing-song, i-wanna-kno-every-little-detail voices. "Do
you feel the same way?"
"Hn," was all that Heero would respond. He was still lost in the memory of the
dance.
"So, Heero, it's love, isn't it? That was a 'yes' right? You've got that look in your
eyes - staring of into space without seeing any definite thing - so, are you gonna tell her?
Are you gonna ask her out?" Tenchi prodded.
Heero kept staring at nothing, a glazed look in his eyes. "Maybe. I don't really
know, but maybe..."


ooooo......what's gonna happen next? I have no clue. I am really sorry that this part took
so long and that it was so short. give me suggestions of wut i should do with the story - i
could use a few ideas. as always, R&R pleez! and no flames, ok?

~Ryoko Yuy~
