''''''this time''''''
Hotaru groaned. This is the third time Duo has fallen asleep. She didn't even wanna know what he was doing all night.
"Duo get up!" Hotaru poked Duo's head, which was resting on her desk. His only response was rolling over. His braid fell onto her lap.
'That's it!' "Mina, hand me your purse," Hotaru asked.
"I'm one step ahead of you," Mina said. Mina was soo tired of Duo's constant snoring bringing her out of her school time stupor.
Mina handed her a handful of hair ribbons, some blush, and magenta lipstick.
Within minutes, Duo was a whole new girl…I mean guy…^-^
"On my god, Maxwell," WuFei said when he saw what the girls had been up to. "What happened to your face…and hair?!"
Duo jumped up at the sound of the word 'hair.'
"What the…" Duo stared at his braid. A large blue ribbon was tied up it about every three inches. He moved his hands to his face and placed it to his face. When he looked at it he nearly screamed. "I look liked I was kissed by MINA!!!!"
Quatre's head immediately shot up from the work everyone was supposed to be doing while the teacher was at a meeting. Duo noticed his reaction to the comment and grabbed Mina's lipstick off of Hotaru's desk. "Do you wanna look like you were kissed by Mina, Quatre!" Duo began chasing Quatre around the classroom with the magenta lipstick in his hand.
"That's enough!" Ms. Adams came walking in. She handed Duo a washcloth and a detention slip. "Sit down and get that ridicules stuff off you face. Then I want you to apologize to Quatre and sit."
Duo grabbed to washcloth and wiped his face until only hints of pink remained. "Gomen, Quatre," he said and he took his seat, murmuring about teachers pets.
He turned to face Hotaru. "You are so dead," He said.
"Who me," she said innocently.
"Basketball after school."
"There," Hotaru said.
''''''
"Hey, where's Trowa?" Duo asked. "I need him to be on my team."
"Trowa is at the circus," Quatre said.
"Aw, come on Q-man…u gotta play with me!"
"I don't like basketball."
"You just wanna sit out with Mina!" Duo said.
Quatre turned red. "Ask WuFei."
Duo pointed to WuFei who was talking to Rei under a tree. He couldn't hear what they were saying but Rei giggled a little and WuFei smiled to himself. WuFei whispered something in her ear, she blushed and nodded. He took her arm and they started walking off to the Jovial temple, where WuFei often trains.
"It's not fair," Duo said, turning to Hotaru and Lita. "It's two against one!!!!"
"Well I stink at basketball and you never said it was one on one," Hotaru said.
"Grrr!" Duo said. "You stink!"
"I know I do!" Hotaru giggled.
"What about Heero?" Lita asked.
"When Heero doesn't want to be found," Quatre said. "It's best just to let things be."
"Yeah, only Relena can accomplish that task," Duo said with a laugh.
"Did Heero just call me!" Relena came running to the court at the sound of her name.
"Relena," Duo said with a sigh. "Just face it. He NEVER calls you!"
"You're just jealous because I found TRUE LOVE," She said, her eyes turning to hearts as she spoke the words.
"Well I tell me when he shows up," Relena said. "I haven't seen him all day. He probably misses me soo much!"
"Let's start the game then," Lita said. 'I can't believe Heero I associated with that chick. If I weren't protecting her, I would think she was potentially dangerous.'
"It's still not fair," Duo mumbled. 'It would be better if it was just Hotaru and me. Then again, everything is.'
"Shut up and let's play," Hotaru said.
Lita won the toss up and passed to Hotaru. Duo cut her off and stole the ball. He dribbled down the court, tried to score but Lita stopped him. She passed the ball to Hotaru and the other end of the court, and she scored.
"Again?" Duo asked.
Hotaru nodded. Suddenly Lita snatched the ball from them and threw it over the fence.
"What was that about?"
Lita ignored Duo's question.
"Hey kid," Lita yelled to a boy who was sitting with his backed turned to the court. The ball was resting next to him. "Can you pass that to me?"
The boy turned around, revealing two cold perussian eyes.
"Oh," Lita said. "Hey Heero. Didn't know it was you."
"Yes she did," Hotaru said quietly.
"Shush," Duo said with a grin. "I counting how long till Lita get the death threat."
"Heero," Lita said. "We're short one person and your friend, Duo, keeps saying it's unfair. I want to prove to him that it's just that I'm better. So, ya wanna play?"
Duo could feel the internal struggle. Heero loved basketball and he was the best at it, but he needed to stay mister perfect soldier. Duo was still waiting for the usual 'Omae o Korosu', but it never came.
"Yes," Heero said. He grabbed to basketball and walked onto the court.
After a couple more rounds, the game was tied and Duo and Hotaru were worn out. They sat to the side, but Lita and Heero were still going strong. All of a sudden, a large fair-haired blur shot across the court, knocking Heero down. And there Heero laid, being nuzzled to death by the vexatious princess.
"Oh look," Duo said. "Heero shadow has finally joined us."
"Geroffme!" Heero said.
"Oh Heero I was soooo worried! I thought you changed schools again but even if you did, I would change just so I could be with you. It must be destiny that keeps on bringing us together, with a little help from my butler!" she said.
"Or maybe its that tracking device I shoved up your-" Duo imitated Relena's bubbly and extremely annoying voice.
"Be quiet, Maxwell," Relena said. "So Heero, how about that movie you promised me, Heero!"
"I didn't promise you anything," he said.
"Don't be silly, Heero," Relena said. "Ya know what, Heero? If I had one wish it would be for us to be together forever, Heero."
"Mine would be to get blood circulating in my arm." Heero clenched his teeth and his arm began turning purple. Relena loosened her grip only slightly."
"Heero," She said. "You don't have to hide you feelings from me, Heero! I can read you like an open book, Heero."
"Then you must be a really bad reader," Duo said.
"Must you make a rude comment every time someone speaks?" Relena asked.
"Nope," Duo replied. "Only you."
"Look, Relena," Lita said. "I was playing basketball with Heero, so I'm just going to borrow him for the rest of the day, and you can have him some other time. Now would you please let go of him, he can't play with a broken arm."
"Heero," Relena said. "Tell her you would rather stay with me, Heero."
"I would rather just play basketball."
"Fine then, Heero," she said. "But when I get a new boyfriend, don't come crawling back, Heero."
Relena stormed away.
"Oh," Lita said. "It's all my fault. I'll go get her if you want. I'm really sorry, Heero."
"Ha!" Heero said. "Whatever you do, please don't get her. I was never her boyfriend. She just won't except it."
"Then let's play."
~~~
"I can't believe they're still playing," Quatre said. "I'm leaving, its getting late and I told Trowa we would see the circus tonight. Of course everyone is invited. His heart really seemed set on you coming, Ami." Ami flushed a deep red.
Duo- Wait, I thought Trowa was with Quatre!
Ami & Mina & Quatre- What!
Sugar_High - Omg! Duo, you are almost as hopeless as me!!! Five girls, five guys, and a non-yaoi fanfiction!
Duo- oh yeah, but still, I mean, if it wasn't…
WuFei- If it wasn't, Duo, you would be paired up with Heero. So you really wouldn't be up any higher than them, if not lower…
( receives five/four death glares from Heero, Duo, and Sugar_High & Miko & Hotaru, who are both clutching Duo protectively.)
Sugar_High - I wouldn't talk, WuFei, I read a fic where you were with Treize and Zechs at the same time!
WuFei- INJUSTICE!!!!!! That is just wrong…
Pluto- can't we just get on with the fic!
Hotaru- Why are you here! Your not in this fic at the moment.
Pluto- if I didn't come you would all be arguing still! Now finish the chapter!
Sugar_High – whatever…
"I can't believe they're still playing," Quatre said. "I'm leaving, its getting late and I told Trowa we would see the circus tonight. Of course, everyone is invited. His heart really seemed set on you coming, Ami." Ami flushed a deep red.
Pluto- you already wrote that!
Sugar_High- URG!!! If you would stop interrupting me, I wouldn't have to repeat myself! You're NOT IN MY FIC! Leave me alone!!!!!!!!
Duo- Calm down…
Sugar_High- DUO!!!!! KAWAII!!!!! :::Hugs Duo numerous times:::
"Then let's go!" Hotaru yelled, jumping up and heading of to the circus.
When they got their Quatre bought the tickets and they all went into the large tent. The boys bought the food and the girls got the seats. Ami went right to the front of the place and took a seat. The others sat behind her.
They watch in silence, with an occasional sorry from Duo-chan, who keep on dropping food. Finally, it was the last act, the knife toss. Ami was on the edge of her seat. Trowa walked on stage, dressed as a clown, with Catherine. He noticed her immediately and gave her a slight smile. She blushed and smiled back.
The drums rolled and Trowa backed against the target, the girl threw knives, and they hit all around Trowa's thin figure.
The crowd cheered, and Ami beamed at Trowa.
The six friends walked until they got to Quatre's mansion.
"Do you all want to stay for dinner?" Quatre asked.
"I would love to," Mina said.
Ami nodded in agreement.
"I don't think so," Hotaru said. "I should get home so someone is there when Lita gets home, and if Re ever gets home. I also need to make them dinner."
"Come on," Mina said. "Lita's the best cook of all, I think she can fix herself some food."
"Still, after being with Heero Yuy for a day, I think Lita is going to need some form of humanity when she gets home."
"Fine," Duo said. "But I'm gonna walk you home."
"Thanks."
~~~
"Come in."
Duo looked around.
"Wow, nice apartment," Duo said.
"Thanks."
Hotaru walked into the kitchen.
"Say, Duo?" she asked.
"What?"
"Do you know how to cook?"
"No," he replied.
"I don't either…"
###
CRASH!
BANG!
"OW! THAT'S MY BRAID!!!"
"SORRY!"
"OUCHIES!!," Hotaru screamed. "THAT'S MY FOOT!!!"
"GOMEN! It was so covered in flour I couldn't tell it apart from the rest of the floor."
"WELL IT"S NOT MY FAULT!!!" Hotaru yelled.
"Can you tell it apart now!' Hotaru gave Duo a good kick in the shin.
"OUCH!!!"
SPLASH!!!
"Hey!" A drenched Hotaru cried. "You know I hate milk!!!"
"Catch me if you can!"
"But all I can see is flour!!"
"HAHAHA!!!"
Hotaru reached out and grabbed Duo around the back. He spun around. "Gotcha," Hotaru whispered. The distance between the two became smaller and just as they're lips were about to meet…
CRUNCH!
Hotaru smashed an egg on Duo's head. Yoke dripped down his forehead. "I'll get you for that one!!!!" Duo chased Hotaru into the living room just as Lita stepped through the door.
***
"Thanks for walking me home, Heero. Let's play basketball again sometime."
Suddenly a white blur knocked her down.
"What the…" Heero said.
"Gomen Lita-chan," Hotaru bounced back to her feet and went tearing down the hall.
Duo went running after her, but Heero grabbed his shirt. "What are you doing here, Duo."
"We were going to cook for Lita and Rei when they got home but neither of us could cook and we had a couple of minor accidents and…and…SHE SMASHED AND EGG ON MY HEAD!"
Hotaru stuck her head out from around the door. "You deserved it!" she said in a singsong voice.
"You both just go and go washed up. Fight and I'll set Heero on both of you," Lita said. They both trudged off to the bathroom.
"Heero," Lita said. "If you want you can stay for dinner. I bet Duo will to, that is if he didn't have enough eggs already."
A muscle twinged in Heero's cheek, the only sign that a smile might have been there.
"Fine," Heero said. 'Why am I agreeing. I should go home and check for a mission, or be tracking down those new pilots. There is something strange about this girl. I almost feel like I know her, like I can trust her."
"Oh my god!" Lita yelled. "What the heck were you guys doing here!"
"I told you!" Duo yelled back.
"Have you guys seen the milk?"
"Yeah," Hotaru said. "Last time I saw it, it was being poured over my head by a certain braided BAKA!!!!"
"Hey!"
***Fifteen minutes later***
Lita walked in with a large platter covered with lots of delicious looking foods.
"Wow," Duo said, drool soaking his shirt. (Duo- Was NOT!!!!)
"Dig in!" Lita said with a smile, passing out plates.
Duo took three of everything; Hotaru took a handful of small purple riceballs; and Heero took a couple finger sandwiches.
"You can take more," Lita said, putting the platter in front of Heero.
"Really! Thanks!," said Duo, who was reaching over to get seconds.
"Not you," said Hotaru.
Heero looked up at Lita, then looked at his watch, and finally turned to Duo. He studied him. Duo looked at Heero.
"Don't worry Heero!" Duo said cheerfully. "It's not poisoned!"
"Huh?" Lita said.
"Nothing," Heero said. He took a bite of it, chewed, and swallowed it.
"Pretty good, ne Heero?" Duo said. "It's a lot better then your usual handful of nails for dinner!"
"Ya know what," Hotaru said. "I'm not even going to ask!"
"It would be advised that you don't," Heero said.
"Let me guess," Lita said. "If you told us you would have to kill us."
"Hn."

Mina wandered the halls. 'Smart move, Mina. Get lost while going to the bathroom the first time you're at your crush's house. Just great.'
Suddenly a beautiful melody filled her ears. She followed it to a pair of large doors. 'I don't know what's behind them, but I just have to open them.' She opened them and walked into the room. The music stopped. She looked around. Ami and Trowa were playing chess and Quatre stood in the corner holding a violin.
"Hello Mina," he said.
"Hello Quatre," Mina said. "Sorry it took so long." She blushed slightly. "If it wasn't for your beautiful song I never would have found you."
"Thanks Mina," Quatre said, flushing the color of Mina's dreaded lipstick ^_~.
"Come here Mina," Quatre said, taking Mina's hand and bringing her to a set of doors in the back of the room. They opened to reveal a large room. And it was majestic. Six balconies, a large crystal chandeliers, and shining wooden floor. "It's a ballroom."
"Wow," Mina said.
"I'm going to have a party for the school here," Quatre said, blushing. "And I would be honored it you would come with me."
"I would love to Quatre," she took his hand and lead him to the center of the room, where they began to dance.
"Mina," Ami said as she walked into the large room. "It's late and Rei is here, wrap it up."
"Well Quatre," Mina said. "Ja ne, I can't wait till we can dance again."
&&&
"Where were you, Rei?" Ami asked.
"I went to the Jovial Temple. It's really nice there. We trained and meditated. I even read their fire, although it wasn't nearly as clear as the one at my old temple." 'There would be no use in telling them about the field of flowers or Merium (sp.?). The promise that he would take her to that field would be their secret.' She sighed when she thought of the time they had together. It was just so perfect.' (And in my opinion, so are WuFei/Rei fics! ^-^)
"And?" Mina asked.
"Wha?" Rei said. "I didn't really see anything in the temple except one word, Karma. It could mean anything though. Future, destiny, doom."
"Huh?" said Mina. "I was just wondering whether he kissed you goodnight?"
"Nope…" she said with a sigh.
"Come on Duo," Heero said. "We're leaving."
Heero poked Duo until he woke. Hotaru and Duo fell asleep on the couch, her head rested gently on his shoulder. "Bye Duo-chan," Hotaru mumbled. He smiled to himself and got up slowly, resting her head on a pillow.
Lita walked them to the door. Before Heero left, She put her arms around him and gave him a hug. To his surprise, he felt his own arms wrap around her.
"Ja ne, Heero-kun," she said. "If you ever need someone to talk to I'll be here for you. I know that something must be hard for you, Heero, I can feel your pain."
Heero let go of her and stared into her green eyes. She smiled and closed the door. He began to walk. 'She was perfect. She was beautiful and powerful, and seemed so pure. She could be so sad, but somehow made everything turn out better than before. There was something strange about this girl. Something familiar.' A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. 'That's strange. I can't see any sign of rain.'
```
Relena watched in horror as Lita Kino was hugging the object of her affection. "No, Heero-sama." Relena turned and ran. She kept on running. "How could you Heero. I loved you so much, Heero. I gave myself up to you! But no, Heero."
Relena dropped to the ground. "I won't believe it! She's turned him against me! Heero loves me. He has always loved me, just as I will always love him. It doesn't matter what happen. I will wait for him to realize that I am here, that I exist to be with him. I wish I cold be strong and powerful. I wish I could fight in Gundam and win Heero's heart. Then Heero and I will rule a peaceful kingdom together, and forever."
" All that can happen Relena, just come with me Relena," said a voice.
"Who are you?" Relena asked.
A woman appeared beside her. She had and long black robes and red hair in three odangos atop her head. Her eyes were yellow and catlike. "I feel your sadness, child, and I can make him see the truth. And I can tell you of the horrors that woman can do. If you want to save the world, if you want to live a happy life with Heero Yuy by your side, take my hand. You do want that."
Relena reached up and took her hand. "More than anything in the world. But who are you."
"I am Karma." Their hands began to glow. "Future and Destiny…come together and bring DOOM!" Relena felt white hot pain wash over her body.
"I'm coming Heero," Relena said. "Wait for me…"
***End (for now)***
This is still a Heero/Lita fic. I just decided to through in a jealous Relena turned evil to spice it up! Next chapter: Future, Destiny, and Doom. Now I've got another song and the lyrics are soo perfect 4 it. It's in Japanese but I've got the English translation. It's Duo's song called "Kitto OK", or "Surely OK!"
Surely OK~ Gundam Wing (Duo Maxwell Song)
