Hope

Disclaimer: I don't own the G-Boys. I do however own Zoe, Chloe, Sebastian, and Christina. You can't have them. They're all I have.
Author's Note: This is the last part! Yay! 1x2, 3x4, 1xOC, 3xOC, A bit of Relena bashing. Hey it's no different from the rest of the series.
ONE YEAR LATER:
"Thank you come again." A cheerful Relena said to a customer as she handed him his CDs. She turned to Heero who was counting the money from the other cash register. "So Heero do you want to do something with me after work?" she tried to sound as sexy as possible. "It's not that late in the day. It's only about 10:00"
"I know Relena." Heero said coldly.
"So do you want to do something?" a bit of hope came up in the back of her mind.
"No." and then was pushed back down.
"Why not?" the hope came up again.
"I'm going out with Duo. We're going to see an old friend." Heero turns and looks at Relena. "You can't come." only to be squished back down once again.
"Oh well have fun Heero." Relena said as she started to get her coat on.
"Thank you Relena. You too." Heero gave her a small smile as he grabbed his coat and left. Relena was in a semi-shock.
"What does he do on these meetings with his friend Duo? Learn how to be happy?" Relena mused to herself. "Oh well. I guess I'll just have to go visit Milliardo again. I hope he doesn't mind. This'll be the fourth time this week, but hey it's not like he has anything better to do anyway. Always mumbling about some stupid Nikki Parks person or whatever her name is now and all this GREAT power. Really I swear one day he's gonna end up getting me into all of that weird good evil crap." She sighed, grabbed her coat and walked out the door. You could hear her locking the five locks to the building.
Heero walked up to the college with high hopes of not only seeing Duo but of seeing Trowa back to normal. Ever since he had killed Zoe, Trowa Barton (He had to take a last name to live in the human world) had been very anti-social and quiet. He only answered his teachers when called on and rarely spoke outside of school. Besides this fact, Heero found out, Trowa was one of the most popular men in the school. Everyone despite his or her sexual preference wanted him. It was something his boyfriend, Quatre Raberba Winner, found very funny. So funny to the point that when Heero told him this he ended up hyperventilating from laughing too hard.
Duo ran up to Heero. He was out of breath. "Wow! … You made it! … I thought you had to work?" He gave Heero a hug before they started walking towards one of the buildings.
"I did but we closed early."
"That's great! Nikki's gonna love seeing you! Even Trowa came!" Duo hung his arm around Heero's shoulder. Heero had forgotten it was Nikki's birthday that day.
"I forgot my gift." Heero said plainly.
"That's okay!" Duo was obviously drunk out of his mind. "You being there should be enough to get her moving. Not that she isn't moving already!" They walked into the building. It was covered with people and being blasted by loud dance music. There was food, beer, and people everywhere. Hanging from the ceiling was a sign that read 'Happy Birthday Nikki!' As Heero walked he saw Quatre in the corner talking to some girl he didn't know. She had long blonde hair and violet eyes. She also had these REALLY creepy eyebrows. It seemed that Quatre and this girl were arguing about something. Heero looked around some more and saw Trowa. He was sitting on a couch by the side with Nikki Parks. They were sitting close. Trowa handed Nikki a little box and when she opened it she threw her arms around him. Then she kissed him and it turned into a French kiss. "Woah!" Duo said having been watching as well. "Trowa's gonna be in TROUBLE!"
Nikki broke the kiss and turned to yell at Duo when she saw Heero. "Heero! You came!" she turned back to Trowa. "I'll be right back." She got up and gave Heero a hug whispering in his ear. "I was waiting for you to come." She let Heero go her arms still around his neck. She then turned to Duo. "For your information, not that it's any of your business, Trowa and I have a purely physical relationship, and Quatre knows all about it." She gave him a smug smile that said 'Ha ha. You were wrong!'
"Oh." Was all Duo could say as a comeback.
Nikki let go of Heero and gave Duo a hug. "You know you can be so pathetic when you want to be." She gave him a warm smile. She turned back to Heero not letting go of Duo. "The bar's to the right if you want a drink. So if you don't mind boys. I have to stop Quatre before Dorothy tries to kill him." She gave a slight laugh but not a giggle and went to stop the argument between Quatre and this Dorothy girl.
Heero and Duo sat down next to Trowa, who was blushing like mad. "Hey Trowa." Duo said lively. "Gettin' some action huh?"
"Shut up Duo." Heero said then turned to Trowa. "If you loved her so much why did you kill her other half?" Heero whispered. Trowa looked at him for a moment before he spoke.
"I loved Zoe too." He answered quietly.
"Then why did you kill her?" Heero asked again.
"I-I don't really know. She crushed that ring and something in me snapped." Trowa looked down at his hands.
"So to make up for killing Zoe and dumping Chloe you're sleeping with Nikki?" Heero asked as more of a joke then a real question.
"We've never slept together. Nikki won't allow it. She says it would be hurting Quatre, even though Quatre says it doesn't matter to him. He says it's not cheating, to him, because it's Nikki and he knew how I felt about Chloe." Trowa said glancing at Quatre. Nikki was holding Dorothy off and trying to stop Quatre from yelling at Dorothy but was having little luck. Trowa looked around. Duo was now 'getting down' with his friend Hilde. Off in the distance you could see Wufei talking to a group of girls. Every once in awhile the girls would laugh in unison. Trowa looked back at Heero. "They're all so happy."
"How can you tell? We don't have our powers anymore." Heero looked at Trowa.
"You don't need to be able to sense emotions to see that everyone here is happy. Even you and me, Heero." That brought a slight chuckle from Trowa's former partner.
"I guess you're fright Trowa." He smiled and noticed that Quatre was now quietly talking to Nikki and Duo was now talking to the girls that were around Wufei. Only there were two girls missing. An older blonde and a brunette that looked a lot like Trowa. Heero thought their names were Sally and Catherine but he couldn't remember if that was right.
"That's odd." Heero said out loud though he didn't know it.
"What's odd?" Trowa asked.
"Nothing." Heero said thinking that the girls must have come together and had had to leave early.
In a very dark castle room we all know as the large room in the north wing six figures stood. Two you could make out as Dorothy and Hilde although now they wore different clothes. Hilde wore a purple pants and shirt combo with purple shoes and purple socks and Dorothy wore a short yellow dress with long sleeves and yellow boots. Catherine wore a pink tank top dress, and Sally wore a green pair of pants and a green sweatshirt. They stood in front of a light brown hair man and woman. The woman wore a long red dress while the man wore a blue suit. Hilde was the first to speak.
"Do we really have to wear these colors? I mean Treize, we look like fools!" Hilde complained.
"I don't think they're that bad. Mr. Treize did a very good job of picking out our ensemble." Dorothy said looking at her with her clear violet eyes.
"You would say that, you war obsessed freak!" Hilde said and Dorothy glared at her.
"At least I'm not in love with a gay man." Dorothy said coldly
"Calm down you two." Sally said and they stopped.
"Thank you Sally." Treize said smiling. "Nikki parks no longer remembers her past as Zoe or Chloe so we must take the angels our selves."
"But Lord Treize," Catherine started, "If she couldn't do it then how do you know we can? You put more trust in her then you ever have us." Catherine had a point. Treize was one of the members of the high council he chose all his warriors carefully.
"I believe in you because my dear Lady Une does." Treize was referring to the motionless figure next to him. She just stood there and smiled. It was hard to tell if she was even alive anymore.
"Thank you Lord Treize." Sally said and bowed. "We will try our hardest to succeed where Zoe failed." The four girls bowed and Treize and Une disappeared. Sally looked at the others. "Dorothy go get Milliardo. Catherine go keep your watch on Trowa Barton and Quatre Raberba Winner. Hilde do the same for Duo Maxwell and Heero Yuy." She looked around. "Where is hell Noin?"
"Keeping an eye on Miss Relena of course." Dorothy said. "You told her never to leave unless you said so." Dorothy looked nervous.
"Contact Noin while your there. Now go!" Catherine and Hilde left but Dorothy stayed. "What is it Dorothy?" Sally was quickly loosing her patience.
"What would you like me to tell Miss Noin?" Dorothy asked somewhat afraid of the older looking woman. She had once seen Sally in the heat of anger and it wasn't pretty. It didn't help that her power increased her strength.
Sally realized that she hadn't given Dorothy a message. She smiled so that she wouldn't become more afraid then she already was but the smile made it worse. "Tell Noin that Nikki has failed. The chosen light angel killed her and so we must kill him and his comrades. Send her to me for more instructions." Dorothy then bowed to her leader and left.
