Quatre's Heartache
By Kiyoko
Chapter 3:An Empty No More
The white limo zoomed across the black pavement and pulled into a shopping center.
"We just have to make a quick pit stop," Tenshi said. The five people got out of the car and walked into a nearby store. The blonde walked up to one of the sales assistants and asked him to assist her fit the three gentlemen in tuxedos.
"This way gentlemen." The man directed the boys to a fitting area and took their measurements.
"What is going on here?" Duo asked. The man had finished taking their measurements and began to walk away.
"Wait a moment sir." the man turned around to face Tenshi " I would like a white one for the blonde" the man nodded and walked away. All three of the boys were extremely confused. What did this have to do with anything? Soon the man came back with three tuxedos, two blacks and one white. He handed each of the pilots a tux and ushered them into a dressing room.
" Hurry, we haven't a lot of time!" Tenshi called. Trowa was the first to emerge from the dressing room.
"OH Trowa! You look so hansom!" He began to blush at Jasmine's comment or rather compliment. Quatre was the next to emerge, the white tux fit him perfectly. The two girls began to whisper something to each other out of their hearing range. The two boys just looked at each other in puzzlement. Duo finally came out of the dressing room also looking quite hansom. The assistant came back to check on the boys and see if they needed anything.
"We'll take them" Tenshi said following the man to the front of the store.
"Grab your things, we gotta go" Jasmine said not able to take her eyes off of Trowa.
The group of them headed back to the car and got back in. Now the three of them were so confused they didn't even know what to say. It wouldn't have really mattered if they did because the two girls weren't going to say anything in the first place.
"These must have cost a fortune!" Duo whispered in Trowa's ear. He just looked at Duo and nodded.
Dorothy sat on the edge of her bed while her thoughts consumed her.
'This is…this is the hand I did it with' she thought looking down at her hand. The girl could barely think about it. The memory was too painful, but her mind couldn't let her forget it. The image kept on replaying in her mind. The silver sword sliding into his stomach. It was too much to bare. How could she? How could she have done that to him. It made her sick. He didn't want to fight, he didn't want to hurt her, but she persisted. ' He was so innocent… sure his hands were stained with blood, but he was still so innocent. Up until the last moment he had been so kind so reasonable, while I was stubborn and angry with defeat. I had won the dual, but he had won the battle. He had defeated my soul, he had taken away my purpose, he showed me how wrong I was, he showed me the truth. And now I feel so empty, so very empty.' Dorothy's eyes had drifted the window, she looked into the garden below.' He would appreciate such beauty.' Suddenly a knock came from the door.
"Dorothy, the party has already begun. Please come down and greet all your friends." 'They are not my friends. They do not understand me…not like he does.' Her thoughts drifted back to the Arabian pilot. Her heart hurt, the pain was like nothing she had ever felt before. 'Why do I feel so empty, what is missing that will make me whole?' Dorothy got up off the bed and opened the door. The girl headed down stairs to the ballroom and everyone applauded when she entered. Dorothy smiled and looked around. 'I guess they didn't show up, the only two people who actually know me and who are my only true friends in the world, unlike the rest of the people here, aren't even here!'
"Would you like to open your presents?" A man asked. ' There is only one present that I want, and I'll never have it.'
"We have to make one more stop," Tenshi announced. Quatre was beginning to get annoyed. First the tux shop, then the flower shop, this was enough. He wanted to get to Dorothy. The white limo pulled into a long driveway that led to a fairly large house, one that could rival a few of Quatre's.
"Is this your house?" Duo asked.
"No it's one of my friends." Tenshi replied. The driver came around and opened the door. Tenshi grabbed Duo by the arm and dragged him out of the car onto the porch. Jasmine and Trowa followed in a similar fashion. Quatre followed the two couples to the huge oak door. Tenshi rang the bell and a man answered the door.
"Miss Tenshi, it is so good to see you, please head toward the ballroom." The girl led the pack to the entrance of a huge room. The pilots were amazed at what they saw. There was a huge dance floor with dozens of couple's waltzing. Every wall and the celing were covered in gold decorations. Tenshi hooked Duo's arm and led him into the room while the others slowly followed behind.
"Would you two mind waiting here for a moment?" The brunette asked. Duo and Trowa nodded a little confused. The two girls grabbed Quatre by the arms and dragged him in front of a huge window over looking a garden. In front of a window was a girl dressed in a beautiful lavender ball gown and bleach blonde hair similar to Tenshi's that went about 3 inches past her shoulders.
Tenshi shoved a bouquet of white roses that they had bought at the flower shop into Quatre's arms.
"She always talks about you." Jasmine whispered in her ear. Quatre was totally confused. Who were these psycho's? All he wanted was to find Dorothy! Tenshi moved up to the girl side.
"I brought you a present, it's what you wanted." Quatre began to panic. These crazy girls were going to give him to some girl!
"I brought you a boy, he's quite hansom, take a look." The girl made no attempt to look at him, she just continued to gaze out the window.
"He has beautiful blonde hair." Tenshi was waiting for an answer, but the girl didn't reply. She was ignoring Tenshi.
"Don't ask me how I found him, I couldn't believe it myself when I saw him." Quatre began to back up when Duo and Trowa came up behind him.
"Hey Quatre, what's going on?"
"I don't know but these girls are crazy!" He whispered back to Duo. The whole ballroom had become silent, all the people had turned their attention to the scene before them.
"I bring you a present and you don't even care!" 'A present? I am not a PRESENT!' Quatre was about to run. These girls were absolutly mad! He was not some present to be given away, he was a human being, a Gundam pilot at that. He wasn't going to stand here and take this! Quatre turned to leave when Jasmine grabbed his arm.
"Please don't go!" she pleaded " Just wait a few more minutes!"
"Well how about this!" Tenshi was clearly becoming angry," He's a Gundam pilot!" The girl's hands clenched into a fist. 'No it's impossible…it can't be?' she thought. Could it be the one thing she desired most in the universe? She waited for what would come next. Tenshi noticed that her fists were clenched and decided to go for the final blow.
" You stabbed him with a fucking sword!" The look on the three pilot's faces was priceless. Quatre wasn't quite sure what she had said. The girl in the lavender gown turned around and looked him in the eye.
"Dorothy!" Tears were streaming down her face. Quatre had dropped the flowers on the floor. She was human and she had finally learned to cry. Dorothy stumbled forward and fell into his arms. Quatre lowered her to the floor and kneeled with her head in his chest. This was the first time that she had cried since she could remember and now all the years of repressed tears came pouring out. She cried for all those she had never cried for, she cried for the past war, she cried for him, but most of all she had cried for herself. In his arms she felt whole, that empty place in her had filled, he had taken her into his arms with no question, well she had actually gone into his arms, but he sat there and held her. Not the fake kind , he had totally embraced her, he had taken her into himself.
To Be Continued!
