Soul of Outer Space
Left Behind
Part 2
Kelly paced up and down in her office waiting for the newest reports to come. Duo entered and kissed her on the cheek before sitting down.
"Are they here yet?" Kelly asked as Duo pulled her into his lap.
"Nope." He said kissing her neck.
"Where could they be…they should be here by now."
"Yeah." Duo said kissing her neck again and trying to pull her jacket off.
"Not now Duo." She said pushing him a way and getting up, she then went to the window and looked out.
"What's going on Kel?" Duo asked coming up behind her, and placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Nothing."
"It just seems like you don't want me around lately." Duo said in a hurt tone.
"Is that the image I'm giving off?" Kelly said moving away from the window and going to sit in her chair.
"Yeah it is and every one is worried about you, you hardly ever come out and eat. We don't even know if you go to bed any more." He walked over and kneeled in front of her, using one hand he rubbed her leg, "I miss you Kelly." Kelly looked at him and saw hurt in his eyes. She squeezed his hand.
"I'm sorry Duo, I've just been really stressed out lately." She said rubbing her temples. Duo got up and came up behind her and began giving her a back massage. Kelly gave out little moans of pleasure and Duo smiled to himself. He stopped and walked around the chair and looked Kelly strait in the eye. In a very serious tone he asked,
"Kelly do you want me around?"
"Of course Duo, I love you." Duo moved in closer and was about to kiss her when her phone began to ring. Kelly jumped up and grabbed the phone,
"This is Kelly talk to me." She started rambling on with the person on the other line and Duo collapsed into the chair Kelly was sitting in only moments ago. He rubbed his temples in frustration, 'its been two weeks since Kelly and I last kissed and if we don't soon I think I'm going to go crazy.' He thought to himself. He glanced up at Kelly she was screaming to whoever was on the other line, 'Just when I got her to relax too. Oh well better him then me.' He thought with a sigh. He tried to keep the sigh quiet but Kelly's sensitive ears picked it up. She quickly ended her conversation and turned to Duo,
"I know I know get out." Duo pushed the chair out and got up and began walking out the door.
"Duo?" he turned around,
"What?"
"Please don't go."
"I have to, you don't want me here your too busy." He shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave.
"Is Earth all you think I care about?" she asked quietly.
"Yeah I'm beginning to." Duo replied turning around. Kelly was now close to tears.
"So you think the way I feel about you and the words I love you mean nothing to you?" She asked trying not to cry. Duo desperately wanted to run to her and let her cry into his shirt and tell her every thing was going to be okay. That he forgave her and that he loved her. Yet he stood his ground.
"Like you said they're just words."
"After all this time I thought you knew me better."
"So did I." Duo said watching the tears pour down Kelly's face.
"Then I guess we have nothing more to discuss." Kelly said holding back a sob.
"I guess so." Duo said turning around and opening the door.
"Fine!"
"FINE!"
"FINE!" Duo slammed the door and Kelly threw her paperweight at the door, before falling to the floor sobbing. Duo stormed down the hallway passing Relena and Heero.
"Duo what's wrong?" Heero asked as Duo passed. Duo threw his arms in the air,
"WOMEN!" Duo stormed down the hall pushing all the people in his way to the side. He finally wandered out into the garden surrounding the back of the building. He leaned over the railing and rubbed his temples.
"Some thing wrong Duo?" He turned to see Wufia and Sally coming towards him,
"You mean besides the fact that I have probably just lost the only girl I've ever loved?"
"Ouch" Wufia said, Duo just turned around and slammed his fist into the wall behind him, making a large hole he then turned around and began heading back inside.
"We have a problem here."
***************************
"Fine!"
"FINE!"
"FINE!" the door slammed and something hit the door. Quatre jumped in surprise and walked down the hall where he heard the noise. He saw Duo, Heero and Relena at the end of the hallway. He was about to go and talk to them to see if they knew what happened when he heard sobs coming from inside Kelly's office.
"Kelly?" he entered the room quietly, he saw Kelly curled up into a little ball crying on the floor. "Kelly? What's the matter?" he asked kneeling next to her and pulling her into an embrace.
"He doesn't care about me anymore. I've lost him Quatre I've lost him this time for good."
"Kelly calm down, you must have had a fight with Duo." She looked up at him,
"Fight would be an understatement Quatre."
"Don't worry he'll come around."
"What did I do wrong, we were getting along so well."
"Maybe it's the fact that all you do is work now. Kelly you don't even need to be in your office. You know as well as I do that those papers you've been waiting for won't come in till next week."
"I guess I have been working a little too much lately."
"Kel leave some work for us to do. We're here too you know."
"I know I know its just the longer it takes the more ground they get and the harder it gets to pry them off."
"Kelly…look at me Kelly." She looked up into his eyes. "I promise we will get earth back…now go rest up. I'll go and get you some dinner."
"That's okay I'm not hungry…but I could use some sleep."
"Then go and sleep." Quatre said pushing her out the door.
*********************************
Duo stepped out of his room. He had just taken a nice long shower to try to get his mind off Kelly. He turned and was about to head down towards the cafeteria when he heard voices coming down the hallway. He turned to see Kelly walking down there with a man signing a paper. Duo quickly slid into the shadows so she wouldn't see him. The two parted at the intersection and Kelly proceeded down the hallway. She stopped in front of Duo's door. She raised her hand to knock but stopped short. She sighed and slammed her head against the door.
"I'm sorry Duo… I love you soo much…I'm sorry." In her voice Duo could hear the sounds of tears. 'Oh Kelly.' He was about to turn out of the shadows and hold her, but it was too late she was already gone.
*****************************************
Duo walked into the main room of their sleeping chambers. Every one was there, minus Kelly, doing something.
"Hey have you guys seen Kelly?" Duo asked.
"Yeah I sent her to bed about three hours ago…she should still be in her room." Quatre said not looking up from his book.
"Thanks." Duo pondered for a moment before going out onto the balcony. He looked at the balcony next to his and could see Kelly's curtains playing with the wind. 'That's it!' he launched himself over to Kelly's window and slowly entered the room. "Kelly?" he saw his angle curled up into a little ball, shaking. Duo took off his shoes and climbed into bed next to her. He rapped his arms around her tiny waist and pulled her back up against his chest. He started to rub her body trying to get her to warm up. "Kelly?" he asked again he turned her over to look at him. Her lips were purple and he leaned over to kiss her and found that her lips were ice cold. He then kissed her forehead, when he tried his head shot back. He quickly took the palm of his hand and placed it on her forehead, 'OH my god she's burning up!' He threw the covers back, put his shoes on and picked Kelly up out of bed, using his foot he kicked her door down and every one in the other room jumped.
"Duo what's going on?"
"Look at her." He motioned to Kelly and Sally came towards them she took one look at her and said,
"We need to get her to the medical wing NOW!" with that the group took off towards the medical wing.
**********************************
"TWO HOURS. TWO FREAKEN HOURS!" Duo paced in front of the ER like an expectant father. If one person came out they were lucky to get a chance to get back in there, he would want all the information about what was going on in there. And if she weren't doing well then he would want to know why the guy wasn't in there.
"Duo calm down." Relena said trying to comfort him. It wasn't really working because she was close to tears herself.
"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN!"
"YOU SHUT UP AND SIT!" Dorothy screamed at him. Duo dumb founded took the seat next to Wufia. An uneasy silence fell over the room.
"This is all my fault." Came a hoarse whisper, Duo was surprised to find that it was Wufia.
"No its not Wufia if its any ones its-" just then the ER light switched off and the doors opened, Sally came out as some men pushed Kelly down the hall,
"She's not-" Quatre began swallowing back tears.
"No she's gonna live." The group let out a sigh of relief.
"Can we see her?" Duo asked hopefully. Sally nodded her head,
"But first I need to tell you all something."
"What?" Sally took a deep breath,
"Well we took a look at Kelly and we found this one of all these things could have been present in her life. They would be, lack of nutrition, lack of sleep, stress, over working, depression and… never mind."
"Come Sally tell us what the last one was."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Poison." The group gasped.
"Kelly would never poison herself." Relena stated firmly.
"What if all of those were present?" the group turned to look at Duo.
"Excuse me?"
"I said what if all of those were present?"
"Then we could very well lose her."
"Duo you know she was poisoned."
"Its just a haunch." He said and headed out of the room and towards Kelly's.
*********************************
Duo entered Kelly's room and began looking for any thing that might resemble a type of poison.
"Duo?" He looked up to see Catharine, Trowa, and Wufia standing there,
"What?"
"We want to help."
"Fine start by looking for clues." They nodded their heads.
"Duo?" Wufia asked.
"What?"
"Go back to the medical wing I'm sure when she wakes up she's gonna want to see you." Duo was about to protest then thought better of it. Duo got up and headed towards the medical center.
***********************************
Duo slowly opened the door to Kelly's room. He saw her lying in a bed with what seemed hundreds of tubes coming out if her. He took up a chair and sat down next to her. He took her ice cold hand in his and kissed it gently,
"What have I done to you?" he then let the tears come he bowed his head and cried onto the bed still holding onto Kelly's hand.
***************************************
Wufia stormed down the hall and into the Doctors office,
"I want an analysis of this NOW!" He said.
"Whoa Mr. Wufia please calm down-"
"We found this on her bed." Wufia threw a small bottle of liquid at the older man, the Doctors eyes got wide,
"What? What is that stuff?" Wufia said.
"This is a very messy poison that makes you forget every thing that you know."
"What about Kelly will she be okay?" Wufia asked his eyes as big as saucers.
"Don't worry Mr. Wufia I put the antidote in her body just in case something like this would be in her system." Wufia grabbed it from him and proceeded towards the waiting area. "I'll take this to Zechs next so he can take a look' he thought. Wufia collapsed into a chair to think.
"Wufia?" he looked up to see Sally, "Kelly's gonna be okay." She said.
"I hope so." She sat down next to him took his hand in hers and squeezed it.
"I know she will."
*********************************
Kelly slowly opened her eyes and a moan escaped her lips. Immediately she felt her hand go cold and a pair of intense violet eyes were looking at her.
"Kelly?" she nodded her head.
"Duo." She closed her eyes again she rapped her arms around him and pulled him down to place a small kiss on his lips. The small kiss slowly turned into one with passion. To better receive the kiss Duo started to climb on top of the bed.
"Whoa Duo I'm pretty sure that will not help Kel get better soon." Said a voice from the doorway. They broke their kiss and Duo returned to his seat as the group filed in.
"Kel we were soo worried about you." Relena said.
"Hey I'm like a plague remember I just keep coming back." She said with a smile.
"Don't ever scare us like that again." Trowa added giving her a hug.
"That will be kinda hard considering the fact that the Eclipses want me DEAD!" she said throwing her hands in the air.
"What are you talking about?" Heero asked.
"Well the last thing I remember is that someone said the name Commander Bloom."
"That's my father!" Catharine said.
"Yeah that's how I made the connection. Plus who else would put that stuff into my drink. I really don't think that they got to finish their mission."
"What do you mean?" asked Dorothy.
"Well the last thing I heard them say was 'Commander Bloom will be pleased. Then I remember being lifted into the air. Then a dark shadow fell across me. I don't remember much else."
"So some one tried to rescue you?"
"Yeah but I don't think that they new I was drugged or they would have done something."
"Well who ever it was I'm internally grateful." Duo said squeezing her hand.
"Hey Wufia the new reports just came in since Kelly isn't able to attend to them they want you to came and look at them."
"They are here, let me see them"
"NO!"
"Why not."
"Well let's see they are the reasons why you're in here."
"Plus remember you need to save a little work for us."
"If any thing needs your signature we will let you read it AFTER you get out of here." Wufia held up his hand to silence her protests.
"Hey could you guys leave for a minute I want to talk to Kelly." The group nodded their head and left the room.
"Kelly I am soo sorry."
"What for?"
"For not being there when you needed me." Duo let the tears fall from his face freely. Kelly rapped her arms around his waist and let him hold her.
"Oh Kelly you have no idea how great it feels to hold you in my arms again."
"What were you doing in my room, Duo?"
"Well I came to apologize and saw you like this and I had to get you help so I did."
"You relies you saved my life." She pulled away a brushed her lips against his, "I guess we really were meant to be together forever and ever."
"Just like a fairly tale?"
"Just like a fairly tale, Hell we'll write our own."
"I love you."
"I love you too, my Duo." She closed her eyes and fell back into the pillows to get some sleep. Duo rapped the blankets around her and got up to leave. He opened the door and a group of people fell. Closing the door behind him he said,
"You guys need a life." Suddenly the girls threw themselves at him.
"Oh Duo we never knew you were so romantic." Dorothy said.
"What?" Duo received many glares from the other boys.
"We heard what you said to her about your love being like a fairy tale." Catharine said dreamily.
"Why can't you guys be like Duo?" Relena asked them,
"Because I'm one in a million." Duo said peeling Dorothy off of him.
"They are soo sweet together." Catharine said.
"And the two of them are one in a billion." Heero said dragging Relena down the hall way with him.
********************************
Wufia ran his fingers through his hair. 'Its all my fault. If I had just been there more for her… if I hadn't relied so much on Duo.' Wufia sighed.
"Wufia?" He turned around to come face to face with Sally.
"Yes?"
"It's not your fault. You shouldn't blame your self you know as well as I do that no one could have seen that coming."
"But I took it upon my self to take care of her and I thought Duo could take my place, but he couldn't I should have been there. I should have made sure that she ate and slept. But did I NO I was to busy hitting on you." Sally smirked at this. "Whoops did I just say that out loud?" he asked blushing.
"Yes you did and I can bug you about it later. But you need to know that it isn't your fault if it's any ones it's everyone's. We all should have been there. We shouldn't have relied to her so much on the work that need to be done. We should have taken the responsibility but we didn't and this is what we are being punished for."
"And how do you know all that?"
"I know that and more."
"Oh really what else do you know Sally."
"I know that you are going to ask me to dinner tonight."
"I am?"
"Yep and right now I'm going to kiss you." With that she rapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. They pulled apart and looked at eachother.
"Have you ever considered becoming a fortune teller?" he asked before kissing her again.
*************************************
"Check mate." Trowa said quietly. "I swear your letting me win." Quatre, Dorothy and Trowa were waiting in the family room of their set of rooms. Duo had gone to pick Kelly up they were letting her out of the hospital that day. They heard voices coming down the hall and the three went silent. Suddenly the door flew open and Duo's loud voice filled the room,
"We're back." Duo said as he shifted Kelly in his arms. Kelly giggles and said,
"Duo put me down."
"Nope babe you could still be sick." He set her down on the sofa, "I'm going to go and get you some water. Don't move." Duo quickly left the room.
"What happened."
"I stumbled now he thinks any moment I'm going to collapse. Not that I'm complaining though I like the attention."
"Okay I'm back." Duo reentered the room and took his seat next to Kelly, after handing the glass of water to her he rapped his arms around her body and nuzzled his nose at her neck. "Babe I'm so sorry about everything."
"Its alright Duo." She said kissing him. "What are you guys doing?"
"Well I'm trying to play chess but Quatre keeps letting me win."
"I am not."
"As much as I hate to admit it Quatre you are." Dorothy said putting an arm around his shoulders.
"Well I know a game I could win." With one quick swipe he knocked Dorothy over and into his lap and proceeded to kiss her passionately. They pulled away with Dorothy blushing. Quatre put his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair, "Quatre one Dorothy zip." Dorothy placed her hands on her hips,
"Oh really?" she sat back down in his lap and kissed him, she pulled away leaving Quatre in a daze, "Quatre one Dorothy two." She said then headed towards her room, Quatre watched her go then followed her in. Trowa got up to stop him when,
"Stay here, Trowa."
"But what if he try to…she needs to be protected." They heard a thud and looked over to see Dorothy and Quatre rapped in a kiss and Dorothy slammed him into wall. Then she kicked the door closed. Duo laughed,
"I think Quatre needs the protection now."
***************************************
Relena squeezed Heero's hand and he pulled her closer.
"Isn't it beautiful out here." Relena said as she snuggled closer to Heero.
"Yeah it is." Heero said kissing her.
"I could just stay out here forever." Relena murmured. "Heero?"
"Yes?"
"Do you miss Earth?"
"Sometimes. Do you?"
"I-"
"Relena get down." Heero shoved Relena to the ground just as a bullet whizzed passed them. "THAT'S IT!" Heero jumped up and pulled his gun and pointed it at anything that moved. "Honey are you alright?" he asked Relena.
"I think so." Relena said getting up. Heero then took her hand in his and dragged her towards the building.
************************************
"I had a great time tonight Wufia." Sally said turning towards him.
"Me too." He gave her a quick kiss before he turned to go.
"Wufia?"
"Yea?"
"When do you have to go back to earth?"
"I don't know. I-…Sally? Sally?" Wufia slowly walked back towards the house. "Sally?" he pulled his gun out.
"WUFIA!" Sally screamed. Wufia turned on his heal and saw Sally thrown into the back of a truck.
"SALLY!" Wufia ran towards the truck, with one screeching blast it took of with Wufia firing shots at it. "DAMN!"
*************************************
"Here's looking at you kid." Kelly snuggled closer to Duo and looked around the room. Even though they would never admit it the room was filled with couples or future couples. Kelly turned back to the movie and was trying hard to put popcorn in Duo's mouth but because of the dark room it was almost impossible. So she stuffed it in her mouth and within moments she was engrossed in the movie. Then the lights flickered on and everyone turned to see what had happened.
"Hey."
"Hey nothing." Heero growled.
"Relena what's going on?" Kelly said getting up, she had seen the tears on her friends face and was going to find out why.
"They tried to kill us." The pop Quatre had been drinking was spit out of his mouth as he ran to his cousin.
"Are you alright they didn't hit you did they?" Quatre said pulling his cousin into a hug, while she shook her head no. Seconds later Wufia came running into the room.
"I'm going to kill them all if they so much as lay one hand on her. I swear-"
"Wufia?" Kelly said walking towards him as he proceeded to load a gun. He continued muttering. "Wufia?"
"…" more muttering.
"WUFIA!" she slapped him hard on the face. He shook his head.
"Thanks I needed that."
"Care to share?" she asked putting her hands on her hips. He sat down and put his face in his hands.
"They took Sally." He whispered.
"No." Kelly said sitting down next to him. "I guess we are no safer on the colonies then we were on earth." Kelly said.
"But at least on Earth we had the advantage." Trowa said sitting across from them.
"So it's decided then?" Kelly asked, everyone nodded his or her heads. "Okay Operation go home starts at dawn two days from now."
*************************************
"Dorothy get your arm out of my- wait here it is I found it. YES!"
"Shhhh."
"Sorry." Wufia murmured.
"Okay remember we get in we get out and we're gone right?"
"Right."
"This is Catharine over…" Catharine spoke into the walkie-talkie.
"We hear you loud and clear Catharine is every thing in place?"
"Roger that Kel. We still meeting at the rondayvu point?"
"Unless you hear other wise."
"Alright lets move out."
***********************************
"Shh." Relena whispered.
"There it is our ride home." Kelly whispered as Duo, Heero, Relena, and herself stuck to the shadows looking for the right time to strike.
"Are you sure we're doing the right thing?" Relena said as she attached the harness to herself.
"Positive. We have the advantage on earth. There no one can strike us." Kelly said slipping the rope through her harness and handing it to Duo. "You drop me and I'll kill you." She said then smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "C-ya in a few." She said then jumped into the hole in the ceiling letting Duo lower her down.
"I have a feeling this is gonna be a long night." Heero whispered to Duo as they watched their girlfriends hit the floor smoothly.
*********************************
Quatre looked over at Dorothy, "You all right?" he whispered. Dorothy nodded her head and moved closer to him. "Are you sure?" he whispered again.
"Just a little nervous." She responded.
"Okay."
"Get down!" Wufia called from ahead and they ran into the nearest room. Wufia pressed his ear against the door to hear what was going on out there.
"Wufia can we get out of here this place is too sm-"
"Shh." Wufia whispered. A small moan was heard from the back of the room. Every one froze.
"Trowa what was that?" Dorothy asked squeezing Quatre's hand tighter.
"Wufia?" came the whisper. Wufia took a step forward frowning.
"Who's there?" he squinted, "Sally!" he ran towards her and embraced her. "Are you alright?" he asked looking at her. She nodded.
"Good then we can get out of here." Trowa went and tried to open the door. "Uh oh." He turned back to everyone. "Um guys we have a little problem here."
***********************************
"What do you mean there missing?" Zechs screamed.
"They just backed up and left." Lt. Noin said.
"These kids have never been out there before we have to find them. Send as alarm out on the colony I want ever inch of this place searched until they are found. Understood?"
"Yes sir." Noin saluted and ran out the door.
********************************
"Duo!" Heero whispered causing Duo to turn around quickly. Kelly ducked the bag that Duo was carrying.
"Hey be careful were you swing that thing." She whispered.
"Sorry babe." He whispered back.
"HEY WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING HERE!" some one screamed.
"RUN!" Relena yelled and the four raced down the hall.
"AFTER THEM."
"Duo follow me." Kelly said as the four split up into two groups. They turned a corner and came faced to face with about twenty men. They turned around and say another ten.
"Well here goes nothing." Duo said and the two began to fight the group.
*******************************
"Relena!" Heero said pushing Relena up against the wall as ten men ran past them and alarms sounded. "Are you okay?" He asked looking at her.
"Fine just a little paranoid."
"Come on lets go." He took her hand and lead her down the hallway.
"Heero look." Relena said. Heero looked at the small cart. It was small and looked like it hold about 10 people. He ran over to Relena and gave her a quick kiss.
"You are genius."
"I know." She said as she jumped onto the cart.
********************************
"MAKE WAY!" Duo looked up from his cornered position as men went flying.
"What the- Heero?!"
"What?" Kelly looked up from her fight long enough for one guy to nail her in the noise.
"Kelly!" Duo called as he jumped onto the cart.
"I'm fine just go." She screamed throwing another man against the wall and the cart sped past her.
"Turn this thing around." Duo said climbing into the front seat.
"But Duo-"
"I said turn this thing around… how would you feel if that was Relena back there?" Heero stopped struggling,
"Hold on we're going back." He said as he swerved hitting another group of men and heading back towards the battle.
"Kelly!" Relena called as they plowed their way through the troops.
"Relena?" Kelly asked as Relena pulled her up into the cart.
"Are you okay?" Heero asked.
"Fine…take a right here." Kelly said and they swerved. "I told you guys to go on with out me." She yelled.
"Yeah right and give Wufia another reason to hate me? You keep telling yourself that babe." Duo said.
"Take that ramp Heero." Kelly yelled.
"Okay I hope you know were you are going."
"Are you kidding?" she said as they swerved again. "I've been planing this escape for weeks."
"So that's what all those blueprints were?" Relena asked.
"Yes. On the count of three every one jump."
"1"
"2"
"3!" all four of them jumped from the moving cart.
"Run fast." Kelly called over her shoulder. She quickly ran into the shuttle that they were highjacking as loud explosions were heard in the background. Heero looked out the shuttle window to see men running towards them. Heero and Relena ran towards the cockpit.
"KELLY GET US OUT OF HERE!"
"Roger that."
***********************************
"3" came the voices of Quatre, Trowa and Wufia as the once again attempted to knock the door in. Catharine rubbed her temples in annoyance.
"Guys you've been trying to do that for the past hour give it a rest already." Trowa came and sat down next to her and she slowly began to massage his shoulder.
"Thanks." He whispered and she smiled at him.
"We are never gonna get out of here are we?" Dorothy asked as Quatre rammed his body into the door again.
"Try Kelly again." Wufia instructed Dorothy.
"Okay." She said turning on the walkie-talkie. "Kelly?"
"…"
"Kelly?"
"…"
"Kelly come in Kelly."
"…"
"Kelly."
"…"
"Kelly god damnit Kelly answer this." Wufia yelled into the walkie-talkie.
"Gosh don't have a cow." Someone screamed on the other line.
"Who is this?" Dorothy asked taking the walkie-talkie away from him and glared at him.
"Duh who would this be." Muffled sounds in the background.
"Kelly here. What's the update?"
"We've got a situation here." Catharine said into the talkie.
"What kind of situation?" she asked.
"We are kinda locked in with Sally." Catharine said.
"But we wouldn't be if someone paid attention to were we were going." Trowa cut in.
"Hey!" laughing sounds on the other side of the talkie. "Its not funny." More laughing.
"Okay here's what you do. Where's Wufia?"
"Right here Kelly."
"I want you to go to the farthest corner from the door. If you noticed the room is not completely squared. At the farthest corner you will find a plug. Cut the blue and red lines and put them together, it should make the doors open."
"How do you know this?" Sally asked as she watched Wufia get to work. "I don't even know that."
"I'll tell you guys the same this I told them. What do you think I did in my office all that time. I've been planing this escape for weeks." Quatre chuckled as the doors flew open.
"We are out of here."
"Alright!"
*********************************
"HA!" Kelly kicked the guy to the ground. "You can hurry NOW!" she shouted across the taking off pad.
"We are going as fast as we can." Quatre shouted.
"Then move faster." She shouted.
"What a deny you of your fun? Never." Shouted Trowa as her ran into the shuttle.
"Haha. Very funny." Kelly said following him into the shuttle and closing the door behind her. "WUFIA TAKE OFF NOW!"
*******************************
"And in other news Princess Kelly of England and her friends which have been presumed dead until a few months ago have been found missing. No leads have been found to there were about." Commander Bloom switched off the TV.
"Well Princess I wonder were you are going?" he turned to his many maps and threw a dart at Washington DC as his evil laugh filled the room.
*******************************
Kelly stepped out of the shuttle and stretched her arms. "Hey how are you guys doing?" she called back watching as her friends got out of the shuttle.
"We're okay."
"Okay then I'll be back in about an hour I'm gonna scout around." With out waiting for an answer she took off.
"That was weird."
"Yeah really unlike her." Quatre said.
"I know I've never seen her just take off like that." Relena said.
"I wonder were she's going?" Duo said. "I'll be back in a while." He called following the path that Kelly had just taken.
"Could they be more perfect for eachother?" Dorothy asked.
"Maybe a little too perfect." Wufia said.
******************************************
Kelly slowly entered a clearing. She looked around making three circles and then stood in the middle. Meanwhile Duo stood behind the trees getting ready to call her name when she started chanting some words. Duo watched in silence. She brought her arms up above her head and dove into the water. Duo watched with vaccination for the women that he loved. Suddenly the water parted and Kelly surfaced throwing her head back. 'My god she looks like an angle.' Duo thought. He heard Kelly giggle as she started to swim around. She came up out of the water and sat on the bank lying back she stayed there for a while. Duo could hardly tell if she was asleep or not. He was about to go and see when she sat up and looked at her watch.
"Where is she?" she slowly chanted a couple more words and stood up. Duo was about to call her name when,
"Kelly?" he heard a soft voice asked. And watched as a beautiful women emerged from the trees on the other side. He watched as Kelly greeted the other women.
"You came." Kelly whispered. "How are you doing Hilde?" she asked.
"Much better, thank you." She replied. "How are you doing now? I heard about your escape on the news and came down here."
"It was hard but we made it…are you ready to come back to camp with me?" Kelly asked flying down to meet Hilde's gaze.
"I don't know."
"Hilde its very important that you do…my time-" Kelly whirled around. "Someone is coming. We must hurry. Come we must hurry." With that they ran back to camp.

"They have been gone for a while should we go after them?" Dorothy asked as she watched Heero cook fish. Suddenly Duo came running towards them with a very pale face.
"Duo what's wrong?" Catharine asked. Kelly entered the clearing followed by a short girl.
"Every one this is Hilde she will be staying with us for a while."
"Kelly I don't know if-" Wufia started.
"She WILL be staying WITH us." She said glaring at all of them. "Now every one get some sleep we have a busy day tomorrow." Kelly said heading for the shuttle.
"But Kel don't you want some fish?" Quatre called.
"I don't eat fish." She called over her shoulder. The group shrugged there shoulders welcomed Hilde and began to eat.
***************************************
Every one was asleep every one that is except Duo. He looked around and saw all the sleeping couples. Heero and Relena curled up against a tree trunk sleeping soundly. Wufia and Sally by the fire. Trowa and Catharine asleep together on one of the blankets. Then some where inside was Quatre and Dorothy, Kelly and that new girl Hilde. Duo turned back to look out across the ocean. He had a lot on his mind. 'How come she never told me about that other girl and how come she didn't want any one to know?' Duo ran his had through his hair. 'Why me?'
"Guess who?" Duo smiled to himself and took the hands off his eyes and brought them down and kissed her hands. He then led her around and parted his legs. Kelly slipped in between his legs and leaned against his chest. Duo rapped his arms around her body and kissed her neck. "Duo?" Kelly asked.
"Hmm?" he asked inhaling her hair.
"I have something to tell you." Duo stopped.
"I already know. Your time…"
"Is short here." Kelly finished.
"Is that why you brought Hilde here?"
"She's just like me Duo. I just don't want you to be lonely."
"I have you why would I be lonely. What's gonna happen to us when this is all over?"
"I don't know Duo. I'm scared…for once I don't know what's going to happed and it scares me."
"Hey." Duo said pulling her around and holding her close. "Shh its okay we will get through this together. We will make it some how." He said drying her tears.
"No we won't Duo. Look what will happen to us when this is over. Some of us could die…or ….or… well Dorothy has to go back to her kingdom with Trowa. Catharine will probably go to her mothers. Sally has to go back to work. Wufia won't leave me until I'm married.-"
"So you and I will get married." Duo cut in.
"Oh Duo its not that simple…there is so much you don't know."
"I know that I love you what else must I know."
"O Duo-" With that Kelly ran back into the shuttle. Duo sighed and was about to go after he but thought better of it and turned back to the setting sun.

Hilde pulled the blanket around her shoulders further as she walked out side and looked around. Lots of people sleeping outside. Then she saw one figure sitting looking out into the ocean. Hilde slowly walked towards him and sat down. She cleared her throat,
"Mind if I sit down?"
"…"
"I'll take that as a yes." She said making herself comfortable. "What are you doing out here all alone?"
"Just thinking."
"About what?"
"Just stuff."
"Like…?"
"Life"
"That's a lot to think about then. Wanna talk about it?" Hilde asked pulling the blanket further up over her shoulders.
"Sure. Are you cold?"
"Just a little."
"Well come over here closer to me." Hilde blushed but did as he asked. Duo put his arm around her and made himself comfortable. "Better?"
"Much. So what do you wanna talk about."
"Have you ever meet that special some one then to find out that you no nothing about them?" he asked looking into her eyes as if the answer was in her eyes.
"I'm not sure I know what you mean." Hilde said.
"Tell me what you feel when this happens." Duo leaned over and kissed her. The two blushed when they pulled apart.
"Pleasure." Hilde said smiling, Duo smiled back and turned back to the setting sun. Meanwhile sitting above the shuttle was Kelly. She quickly whipped a tear from her eye and blew a kiss at the two of them.
**********************************
"Quatre what's the update?" Relena asked taking the seat next to him.
"They haven't made any advances…yet." For the past couple of weeks the group had watched the army move to earth and prepare to attack I wonder what they are doing?"
"Buying time. They want to catch us with our guard down." Hilde said entering the room. All we can do is wait for them to make the first move."
*************************************
Okay I know this chapter was short but I'm running out of ideas. So I could use some input I threw Hilde in there as a little twist. So I'm talken a poll should the rest be Kelly + Duo or Hilde + Duo or should we make a special character for Hilde. Its ur choice so u tell me.
