Rematch: Part 6

I started to regain consciousness. I heard a few voices, but they seemed so far away. I couldn't make out what they were saying. I listened as close as I could, the voices sounded like they were getting closer, but I still couldn't make out what they were saying. They eventually got so close, they sounded like they were right next to me. I tried to listen to them again. They sounded familiar, they sounded like, Trowa, and Quatre.
I opened my eyes and turned my head to the left. Quatre was sitting on a chair next to the bed I was in. He looked concerned. Trowa was standing next to him. He also looked concerned. I noticed Duo standing in the doorway, he didn't look quite as concerned as Quatre or Trowa, he looked like he was deep in thought. Wufei was leaning against the wall, he didn't look concerned either, he looked calm and collected. Not worried at all. That was nice to know, I didn't want anyone to worry about me. I would be a waste of their time.
I pushed myself up into a sitting position and looked around. I was in a hospital. But where? How long was I out? I soon got my answers.

"You're awake!" Quatre said, "You were out for nearly two weeks, we were starting to think that you might never wake up."
"Where are we?" I asked.
"We're back on Earth." Trowa answered.

Duo walked over to the bed and helped me up.

"Did Zechs live?" I asked.
"No..." Quatre replied.
"That fight looked tough..." Duo said.
"It was," I replied, "at least, from what I remember..."
"You're kidding! You don't remember?" Duo exclaimed.

I shook my head no.

"You were awesome!" Duo exclaimed.

He went on blabbering about what happened during the fight. I wasn't really listening, I didn't really care what happened. The fight was over, in the past. There was no need to think about it.

Duo signaled for a cab, Trowa and Wufei volunteered to walk. Duo got in first, tugging me in after him. Quatre got in last. Great, they stuck me in the middle.

"2042 Winding Road." Quatre told the cab driver.

He turned on the meter and started off.

Quatre sat silently. Duo on the other hand, wouldn't shut up. There was no way around it, Duo was always utterly and thoroughly annoying.

When we arrived at our destination, Quatre paid the cab driver and walked with us to our temporary home. When we got inside, Duo led me to where my room would be, but Quatre finished showing me around the house.

"Just relax, there's no need to be concerned about anything." Quatre said.

/Until the next mission.../ I added silently.

"WE HAVE NINTENDO 64?!" I heard Duo shout excitedly from the living room.

He ran into the dining room and tugged me along behind him into the living room and challenged me to Goldeneye 007.

Duo didn't stand a chance...

When Trowa and Wufei got home, Duo talked them into joining. After about and hour of gameplay, Quatre was practically rolling around on the floor laughing at our remarks to eachother.

Quatre was right, life is back to normal. At least, for now.

-THE END-
