Chapter 2-Fancy Meeting You Here

##Flashback to a month ago##
"Why do you always go and buy Hilde stuff on Fridays?" Heero asked, as the two of them were out in the streets of the Sanc Kingdom.
"Well..." Duo said, showing his trademark smile. "...since I go and buy scraps on this day, I always thought that it would be easier to buy Hilde a gift on the same day." Duo replied.
"Hn." Heero replied.
"Besides...with her helping me at the shop and putting up with me 24/7, a gift seems as the best way to get back on her good graces." Duo replied. Heero nodded, as they pulled into a shop that had several...lingerie. As they walked in, Heero started to leave, until Duo grabbed his arm. "It wouldn't hurt for you to look at a couple of ladies undergarments, you know." Duo said loudly to the whole store. Everyone in the store looked at the two pilots. Then everyone else in the store went on the work, as Heero grumbled something sounding like 'Omae o Korosu'.
"You been saying that forever now." Duo commented, smiling, as Heero gave him his death glare. The two then preceded to spend 3 long hours going through several parts of the store, before Duo finally bought a black underwear set, along with a camisole set. Heero bought Relena a nice lilac nightgown.
"I'm never going into another store with you, Duo!" Heero replied, once they were on their way to Relena's mansion.
##Present##
Heero could feel Duo coming down the street a mile away. 'Good, I don't have to get to him in a shop.' Heero thought to himself, as he seen the tall, braided pilot passing several people empty-handed. It wasn't long before Heero snuck up on Duo's side. "We have to talk." Heero said to Duo.
"You...talk? That's like saying that Trowa saying a speech!" Duo replied. Heero quickly grabbed the pilot's precious braid. "Okay...where do you want to go?"
"How about your house? Hilde's at the L4 colony." Heero replied. Duo shook his head and the two proceeded to the House of Death. After a few minutes, the two pilots were alone in the living room.
"So...what do you want to talk about? We got a mission or---"
"How does Relena know that I saw Dorothy in New York?" Heero asked Duo.
"What makes you think I know?" Duo replied, smiling.
"Because out of everyone we know...you and Hilde were the only ones in New York." Heero replied. "So...how does Relena know about me and Dorothy in New York?"
"I don't know..." Duo started before Heero magically took out a gun from behind him. "...you're not really going to shoot me, are you?" He waited a second as Heero's fingers played around with the trigger. "...okay, okay...How does Relena know about you and Dorothy in New York..."
"Yeah." Heero replied, still aiming the gun at Duo.
"Put that gun down, and I'll tell you." Duo replied. Heero pulled the gun down and Duo sighed. "Well, Hilde and I went to that Restaurant to which you and Dorothy were seen at. I wasn't sure, so I asked Hilde to confirm if that was the two of you guys I saw. She confirmed that I wasn't dreaming and I saw the two of you. So I sneaked over, behind the plant and listened to you talk about Relena and Quatre."
"What exactly did you hear?"
"That was wrong what the two of you said about them." Duo replied. "I mean--"
"Don't make me repeat myself. What did you hear?" Heero replied his hand itching pull his gun up.
"I heard exactly this: 'Have you told Quatre about us yet?'" Duo started, mimicking Heero's voice, before starting with Dorothy's. " 'No. Have you told her, yet?'" Duo replied, as he replayed the whole conversation he heard between the two, including the mean joke they made. "After that, I sneaked back to my table and Hilde." Duo replied.
"Hn." And with that grunt, Heero punched Duo in the stomach (not as hard as he did in Endless Waltz, mind you...) and left Shinigami in his living room, hunched over.
##L4 Colony##
Dorothy Catalonia's long blonde hair trailed behind her, as she went to inspect one of the stalls at one of the large marketplaces that were in the L4 colony. The lady at the stall smiled at the blonde and asked her about Quatre.
"He's doing fine." Dorothy replied. "His company is getting more business by the day." Dorothy replied. The lady then asked Dorothy about her and Quatre relationship to which Dorothy replied that it was fine--even though it was a direct lie. The older woman smiled before another customer came by and Dorothy left. Sighing, she continued on throughout the marketplace until she bumped into Hilde.
"Hi, Hilde." Dorothy said, smiling. Hilde looked up at the taller blonde before gulping.
"Dorothy!" Hilde said, surprised. "Funny meeting you here."
"I guess." Dorothy replied before putting her fingers on her chin. "I wonder how does Quatre know about me and Heero meeting in New York?"
"Umm...hmm...me, too." Hilde replied, miserably failing to hide her nervousness.
"So you don't know about what happened?" Dorothy asked.
"Nope." Hilde replied. Hilde slowly placed her arm behind her head, starting to look like Duo.
"Maybe you should get away from Duo for a little bit---he's starting to rub-off on you." Dorothy replied. Hilde dropped her arm to the side, but before she could respond, Dorothy started again. "What exactly did the two of you said to Quatre?"
"I didn't say anything---" Hilde replied.
"Not true..."
"I really...really didn't say anything..." Hilde replied. "I just told...Relena. Duo told Quatre."
"What do you mean?"
"Well...we saw you and Heero at that restaurant in New York. Duo sneaked by your table to hear what the two of you were saying." Hilde replied, slowly starting her story. Every now and then Dorothy's mouth would drop or her eyebrows would meet together, showing her worried face. "So...that's what happened." Hilde replied.
"Do you and Duo know what you two just did? You made it harder for us now!!" Dorothy replied, turning around.
"Wait!! Harder for you to do what?" Hilde yelled, as she tried to catch up with the blonde.
"It was something important that I wanted to ask Quatre and I needed to be on his good graces to do it right!!! I'll keep in touch." Dorothy yelled over her shoulder as she ran towards the exit so she could go to the mansion.

A few days later....
"Vice-Foreign Minister Darlian-Peacecraft!!" One of her aides said, trying to catch Relena's attention. "You still have a few more meetings today!!"
"I know!!! I'm just going for a walk around the block." And with that, Relena smiled and ran deep into a large crowd of people, hiding herself from one of her Preventer bodyguards. 'Let them try to keep up with me when I'm on my mission!!' Relena thought to herself as she disappeared through the large throng. She only went down to blocks before she felt her arm being grasped.
"Relena...where are you going?" Heero asked her. His Prussian blue eyes were looking intently into her aquamarine eyes. "You still have a few meetings with other---" Heero started before being interrupted by a phone call. He quickly pulled Relena to the nearest store and answered his phone. "This is Heero." The voice on the other line was one of the Preventer officers. "What? No. Can't you just get someone else? Are you sure?" Heero's back was turned as he got into the conversation about a mission. When Relena was sure that he was deep in conversation, she took off into the main street and started on her way to the Restaurant that her and Quatre were to meet at.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Quatre!!" Dorothy yells softly, as she tries to catch up with the blonde Arabian. Quatre stops to see Dorothy following behind him. Once Dorothy was a few inches from Quatre she started speak again. "Quatre, where are you going? You still have a few more meetings in this conference!!"
"I know, Dorothy." Quatre replies smiling. "I'm just going for a walk. If a meeting starts before I come back, feel free to take my place." Quatre replies as he tries to leave. Dorothy shakes her head and grabs on to Quatre's arm.
"No. Come back, people need to talk to you, not me. You're the Winner heir!!"
"You'll do fine if it starts without me." Quatre replies, as he quickly released himself from Dorothy's grasp before going down in the elevator. Once at the ground floor, however the 40 Maganuc Corps met him. Quatre was able to get past 36 of them, and was only stopped by the group of Abdul, Abdullah, Aja and Rashid.
"Master Quatre, where are you going!! You still to--" Rashid starts.
"I'm just talking a short walk, Rashid. I'll be back in time for the next meeting." Quatre replied. "Besides, a breath of fresh colony air would do me some good."
"Says who?"
"Miss Relena, and the Soul of Outer Space."
"The Soul of Outer Space?" Rashid replied. Quatre smiled.
"The Soul of Outer Space." And with that, Quatre leaves the building, the Magnunacs and the conference to go meet Relena at the Restaurant. However, from a distance both Trowa and Hilde were watching our two pacifist friends walk towards the most expensive restaurant in the colonies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What are you doing here, Hilde?" Trowa whispers to Hilde.
"Huh?" Hilde replies, turning around to see Trowa. "I'm watching out for Relena. What are you doing here, Trowa?"
"I'm watching out for Quatre. I didn't expect them to met secretly here...but when I think about it does make sense."
"I don't understand this at all. Both Heero and Dorothy---"
"Said that you and Duo has messed up their plans---whatever they are. Technically...they are right."
"It's good to know that your own friend believes in you." Hilde muttered under her breath.
"Duo's rubbing off on you." Trowa replies, and then motions for Hilde to be quiet as Quatre and Relena are seated in the restaurant, not too far away from the plants and the corner they were hiding from.. "What are they saying?" Trowa whispers.
"Something about the meetings so far." Hilde replies. "Now...they're talking about---their lovers." Trowa shook his head and got closer to Hilde so that he can hear better.
