Gypsy: Okay People! Here's the part. This fic may take a while to finish but I'm gonna get it done. Now on the sizing of the chapters. You're going to have to be patient. If you want longer installments then you'll have to wait longer. I think you'd rather have a little then none at all...

"Quatre!" Duo said pulling the dark haired teen over towards him. "This is my Hee-chan."
"My name's Heero." he said shaking Quatre's hand.
"Nice to meet you." Quatre said.
"Iris!" Nurse Sally called. "We just got a call from your parents."
Iris got up out of her seat.
"Who wants to bet they're not coming again.." she said walking over to the desk.
'Why wouldn't her parents come?" Quatre asked.
"They're too busy involved in their own lives to worry about her. The shrink thinks it's why she became Anorexic in the first place." Duo said.
Iris came storming back over.
"Are they coming?" Catherine asked.
"No, but they're sending me over my birthday presents by messenger." she said.
"I'm sorry Iris." Catherine said.
"I don't need you pity Cathy!" Iris snapped leaning back in her chair and slouching down.
Quatre got up and walked over towards her. He then sat in the chair next to her.
"When was your birthday?" he asked.
"It's tomorrow." she said. "You know! I would have thought the one day that they'd come to visit me was my birthday. Should have known better. The didn't show up for any other holiday."
"Well Christmas is next month. I'm sure they'll come see you a lot then." he said.
"yeah right!" she said. "And give up their time share in Jamaica? No way! I know them. They'll go have fun and forget about me."
"Oh Iris.." Quatre said hugging her. "It'll be okay."
"You know..." Iris said her voice cracking. "I wish they'd atleast notice me!" Tears began to form in her hazel eyes and Quatre just held her tighter as she began to cry.
"Is Iris crying?" Heero whispered to Duo.
"Oh my god..." Duo said. "I never thought I'd see the day when she'd cry."
Suddenly the door flung open to the center and then entered a tall man in a butler's uniform..
"Miss Iris?" he asked..
"James?" Iris asked looking up. "What are you doing here?"
"Well I figured that you'd rather see an old man like me instead of the hot messenger boy." James said. "I'm going to turn your presents into the nurses station and then I'll come talk with you."
"Who's he?" Quatre asked.
"The Butler. He's practically the only father I had. Dad was always working late and was rarely home. Mom was too busy getting ready for a gala or getting drunk off her ass to notice me. He and my nanny were like parents to me." she said.
"Well see... If you have such bad memories about your parents." Quatre said. "Then why would you want to see them here?"
"I guess I'd rather see James I guess." she said. Quatre got up and walked back over to where Trowa, Catherine, Duo and Heero were sitting.
"Who's the old guy?" Duo asked.
"Iris's butler." Quatre said sitting down.
" Is she okay?" Trowa asked.
'She's fine now." Quatre said. 'No worries."
The door opened again and Quatre saw his family..
"Oh no." he thought. "Please don't embarrass me infront of the greek god of Trowa."
"Bwother!!!" Relena yelled running in and attaching herself to Quatre's leg..
"Hey Relly." he said picking her up. "You're heavy.."
"She probably weighs almost as much as you." Iria said from the door. Quatre got up and walked over to his parents..
"Hi Mom. Hi Dad." he said. "Where's the rest of the girls?"
"They didn't want to come." his mother said.
"Oh." he said looking downward.
"Let's see you room honey." his mother said. "Show us where it is."
"Yes ma'm." Quatre said handing Relena to Iria.
The walked down the hallway..

"Let's follow them, Come on!!" Duo yelled pulling Heero to his feet. "I wanna see what happens!"
