Quatre looked into the large mirror that was on the back of his closet. A familiar reflection looked back and Quatre laughed. So he was vain, there wasn't anyone who actually knew about it.
The children were out for the afternoon. They never got on Quatre's nerves, but Wufei was almost at his wits end, and so was Catherine, this surprised him. Duo was just plain tired out. He had explained that at home they all knew what they were supposed to do, plus there was school and homework, so he didn't have to keep an eye on every single one of them every single second, unlike here.
Rashid and a team of 6 other people agreed to take the children to various places throughout the day, they would be back no sooner that eight. Everyone was grateful for the break.
Quatre smiled into the mirror again and quickly stripped down to his boxers, then those came off too. he replaced them with a pair of girls' lacy underwear. he glanced into the closet and pulled out a short blue skirt and a lose black shirt. He put those on as well.
Next came the hard part, makeup. working carefully disguising his features so that not even his bests friends would recognize him. He loved it.
Looking into the mirror, he pulled his now long hair into a high pony tail. His work was complete.
Quatre realized some time ago that he made a rather attractive girl. He had been pulling off this act...and actually getting away with it...for about six months. He was very surprised the first time he fooled Wufei.
Quatre had been very nervous, he was sure that he was going to get caught, but he just wanted to go out for a little while, not as himself. He sneaked to a corner just a few feet from the door when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Can I help you?" Wufei's voice asked.
"I...I...um..." Quatre stammered completely embarrassed at what he had been caught doing this.
"Are you looking for someone?" Wufei continued. It was then that it hit Quatre: Wufei didn't recognize him.
He made up some excuse, and Wufei let him go about his business. And from that day it wasn't a strange occurrence to see Quasi Wheter walking around the Winner mansion.
So Quatre, just like he had so many times before, made his way out of his room and around the grounds. It was amazing what you could find out when you were someone else.

Duo turned the corner to get to Quatre's room when he got the shock of his life. The was a *gorgeous* woman walking around in the hallway!
'Well if I can't have Heero, why not go straight?' Duo adjusted his collar before clearing his throat. "Hello there, I don't think I know you." (Tai Chick here! Just to let you know it gets confusing at this point because I refer to Quatre as both a guy and a girl, so be warned! All right I'm shutting up now!)
The woman spun around, surprised, but then she relaxed. She looked oddly familiar. "Hi there, no I don't think I know you either. I'm Quasi Wheter, and you are...?"
"Duo Maxwell, at your service."
Quatre had an odd thought just then, could he go beyond fooling with just outward appearances? Would it work with Trowa? If he could fool Duo, then it was a pretty good chance he could, if he failed then at least he would be able to show his face in public. He decided to try.
"You know you're kinda cute." Quatre said pushing Duo against the wall and tracing his finger along his chest. "I would like to get to know you better."
'Woah! I've never seen a girl this forward before! And she's attracted to me! of all people! Damn...' "I'd like to get to know you better too." He put his arms around the thin girls waist. "I've liked you the minute I saw you in the hallway." He pressed his lips against her neck, and kissing her rapidly. He began to moan, "Oh you smell so fine..."
'Oh no, it wasn't supposed to go this far...' Quatre thought in panic. 'It'll kill him if he finds out it's me, and the way we're moving it won't be long.' He very gently backed away. "I have to go now, but maybe I'll see you around..." He said in almost a whisper.
Duo nodded eagerly. "Please say you're coming to the party!"
"We'll see." Was all she said before walking away.
Duo found it slightly odd that she walked straight into Quatre's room...
~ ~ ~
Quatre breathed a sigh of relief and sank to the floor. 'That was close.' He thought. 'but boy did I have Duo fooled, my best friend, the one who is supposed to know me most in the world...wow. If it worked with him, there's a pretty good chance it would work with Trowa. I wonder...'
Quatre shook his head and began to change back to his pants he had a lot to think about. There was a knock on his door.
"Quatre, may I come in?" Wufei's voice asked.
Quatre panicked, he still had the skirt on, "In a minute...I'm changing!"
"That's never bothered you before, why can't I come in?" Wufei persisted with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"I said in a minute Wufei, don't come in!" Quatre said stuffing the skirt under his bed and pulling on his pants, luckily he had taken his makeup off first
"Is Trowa in there!?" He demanded obviously furious.
It was then that Quatre had pulled the door open, hurt flooded his face. Yeah of course he had been thinking about cheating on his love, but he never actually *would* do it. "W-w-wufei? H-how could you think t-t-that?" he stuttered.
"Well, I saw the eyes you two were giving each other before, so it was naturally the first thing that came to mind." Wufei answered, uncaring what he was accusing Quatre of.
Quatre bit his lip to try and keep the tears from coming, but it didn't work. Quatre covered his eyes with his hands and ran down the hall, he bumped into Duo on the way.
"Quatre what's wrong?" He asked, hurting because his best friend was obviously in pain.
"W-w-wufei, t-t-thought that I w-w-as cheating on h-h-him with Trowa!" He managed to get out before totally breaking down again.
"He what!?" Duo screeched. "But you would never!"
"I j-j-j-just need to be alone f-f-for a little w-w-while." Quatre said heading outside towards the gardens. He was still crying uncontrollably.
~ ~ ~
Wufei stood outside Quatre's door just after the blond had run down the hall. Of course he felt bad, but with Trowa around he was going to have to be over protective, or he was going to lose his love. He sighed and headed for his own room, when he came face to face with an enraged Duo.
"How could you even think that Quatre would do such a thing!?" He roared. "How could you sit there and accuse him of such things!? And then not even bother to go after him to apologize!? I couldn't understand what he saw in you from the very beginning but I stayed quiet because I wanted him to be happy! But if you're not going to love and trust him, then maybe he would be better off with Trowa!" Duo was breathing hard by the end of the string of sentences because of all the force he put behind them.
"Are you finished?" Wufei asked.
"For now." Duo snapped.
"Good, because I have something to say too, Trowa loves my Quatre, Quatre is *mine* and I'm not going to let him be taken from me!" He replied.
"If you think, for one minute that...!" Duo began but was cut off.
"Did I come at a bad time?"
The children were out for the afternoon. They never got on Quatre's nerves, but Wufei was almost at his wits end, and so was Catherine, this surprised him. Duo was just plain tired out.
