::Dreama stands in front of all the readers of this story::

Dreama: I've been really busy with work! I haven't forgotten about you guys I swear!

Fan #1: Yeah Right! You forgot about us! ::they suddenly have very big things that hurt people and chase Dreama, but the Akio car "conveniently" pulls up and takes Dreama to a "safe" place::

Dreama: Phew! I thought they were going to kill me! Thanks pal! What do I owe you?

Akio: Oh, nothing much ::manipulative look::

Dreama: ::gulps, runs out of car:: I don't own Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing, or the Akio and his car! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! ::runs like hell away from the evil Akio car::

Akio: ::hits the gas:: Let the show begin! ::drives after Dreama, followed by other insane fans::

Usagi waited by the phone. And waited. And waited. When was he going to call? She hadn't seen or heard from him in days. She was really worried. Maybe she should call him. Usagi picked the phone off the receiver, dialed, and listened.

Ring.

Would he pick up?

Ring.

Is he mad at her?

Ring.

What's wrong?

Ring.

Did he hate her?

Ring.

IS HE DEAD??!!

"Hi this is Quatre-." Said someone on the other side.

"Hi Quatre this is-."

"I'm not home right now, please leave your name and number and I will get back to you as soon as I can, BEEP!" It was the answering machine.

"Hey Quatre, this is Usagi. I was wondering about you. I haven't heard anything from you in days and I was wondering if I had done something wrong. Um... Call me back as soon as you can. You should have my number, but if you lost it its 555-0934. Thanks." She hung up the phone and glared at it. Where was he?

Usagi yawned and looked at the clock. It was midnight. She took a shower and went to bed, keeping the phone close, worried that Quatre might call.

Quatre walked in his house at five in the morning. He had an emergency call from one of the resource satellites. Apparently they had lost contact with another one and they needed him to go up and check it out. It turned out that some rats had chewed the wires in the communication systems. It took five days to fix it.

Quatre was in such a rush that he forgot to call Usagi and tell her. He felt miserable the entire time. He was worried that she may be worried about him. He looked at his answering machine. He had fifteen new messages. Quatre sighed and pushed play.

"Hey Q-man!" It was Duo (if you couldn't tell), "I heard about this show at the aquarium! It is supposed to be nice and dark! Well anyways, I have two extra tickets, if you want them call me by Sunday, see ya buddy boy. Click." On to the next message.

"Hey Winner," it was Wufei, "Good thing you're not home. Duo has been making prank calls for the past three hours. Watch out." Click.

"Hi Quatre," it was Usagi! YEA! A very nice voice to hear, "I was wondering if you knew how Duo got my phone number. I guess you don't know either. Talk to you later Bye" Click. Such a cheerful message from the only girl he cared that much for.

"Quatre," it was Trowa, "I would advise to unplug your phone tonight. Duo keeps making strange phone calls." Click.

"Quatre," said the monotone voice of Heero Yuy, "Don't be mad, but I am afraid I may have to kill Duo." Click. Quatre couldn't help but laugh at that.

"QUATRE!" cried the desperate voice of Duo, "Heero tied me up with my phone cord and left me alone in my apartment! Help! I'm all alone! I had to dial with my nose! Help! Quatre! You're my only friend!" There was some more shouting and it got cut off.

"Oh dear," said Quatre as he tried not to burst out laughing. The next seven messages were more of Duo's pleas for someone to untie him, At least it was only twelve hours ago. Maybe he called Usagi since Duo had apparently nosed through Quatre's phone book and got Usagi's number.

Finally it was the last message, "Hey Quatre, this is Usagi. I was wondering about you. I haven't heard anything from you in days and I was wondering if I had done something wrong. Um... Call me back as soon as you can. You should have my number, but if you lost it its 555-0934. Thanks." Click.

Oh no! Quatre, not thinking about the time, picked up the phone and dialed Usagi's number.

"Hello?" said a very tired sounding voice.

"Usagi?" said Quatre.

Yawn. "This is she."

"Its me Quatre!"

"Quatre? Where have you been? I've been so worried about you!"

"Sorry, I had to go to space and I was without a phone, I am really sorry that I didn't call you before I left. I was so- Oh please for give me Usagi," he sounded ready to cry.

"Its alright Quatre, I forgive you!" Usagi said into the phone, "Please don't cry Quatre."

"Are you sure?" he said with a sniffle.

"I'm positive Quatre, oh you poor thing. It must have been hard," said Usagi.

"It was, um... Did you, by chance, go over and untie Duo?"

"Untie him? Why is he tied up?"

"He made Heero mad with his phone calls."

"Oh no! Where does he live?"

"Hold on! I will be at your house soon, then we can both get him."

When Quatre got Usagi, there was a lot of kissing and hugging. Then they went to Duo's house. They found him asleep in a chair next to the phone, all tied up with the cord.

"Duo," said Usagi as she shook him, "I hope he isn't dead."

"Nah, he's been through worse, wait till you meet Heero, then you will understand," said Quatre. They untied Duo and shook him awake.

"You guys are angles!" Duo cried as he hugged them. "I thought I was going to die! I have been tied up for five hours!"

"No problem Duo," said Usagi.

"Hey Duo?" said Quatre.

"What?" said Duo.

"Do you still have those tickets?" Quatre asked shyly.

"Yepppers I still do," he went to his room and came back with two tickets. "you want them?"

"Yes please," said Quatre.

"Here you go buddy boy, you deserve them for saving me from the animals and being tied up buddy boy," said Duo.

"It was nothing," said Quatre as he blushed, he turned to Usagi, "Usagi, as an apology for making you worry like that, would you like to come to the aquarium with me? You don't have to if you don't want to." Quatre was very red.

"Yes I will go, why wouldn't I go with you Quatre?" Usagi jumped into Quatre's arms and they kissed.

"Hey you two! Can you guys get a room or something? C'mon! This is grossing me out!" yelled the annoyed Duo, but the two ignored him.

To be continued!

What will happen next time? Will Usagi and Quatre get soaked? Will Duo pull more pranks? Will someone find Trowa's missing hair gel so he can go too? All this and more, next time on I'll be Your Friend! Don't forget to write a review! Ja ne! ::Dreama goes back to her place in the sky::
