Et Tu Duo Epilouge

The morning sun crept into the room. The bright light spilled onto the contents making them seemingly glow. It was a beautiful effect, but it meant only one thing. Someone had opened the shades, and that someone was shaking her shoulder.

"Hey, babe. If you don't get up now I'm gonna have to sign the damn paper myself."

"Ugh. What time is it?"

"Time to get up."

"Go away. the world can live without me for a day."

"If you don't get up now…I'm gonna…"

"What?"

"This." With that ever-present grin on his face Duo pulled off her bed sheets.

"Ah! Its cold in here!"

"Shit! You never mentioned sleeping in the nude!" Duo stepped back and covered his eyes.

"Well, I do. Now, are you going to sit there all day, or can will you leave so I can take my shower?"

Duo chuckled as he walked into the hall. Life wasn't so bad once you stopped looking for disasters to take the blame for.

His partner looked at him oddly. "What's so funny?"

Duo shook his head. "Never mind. She'll be down in a couple of minutes, go make sure breakfast is waiting."

"Yes, sir."

Duo leaned on the door and gazed down the hallway. True, Heero was gone, but he probably felt the best he had ever in his life. Before, he never took the time to fully appreciate his friends and all they helped him with. Now he realized that it was your friends who made you what you are.

He let out a yelp as he landed on his back. Relena hopped over him and looked down at him, "Hey! Are you gonna sit there all day, or do I have actually have to start dodging the bullets?"

Duo got up and ran after her. Life was as normal as he could make it.
