Cause and Effect: Duo
Hey, every body. Lil Moon, back in da house! I had major writer's block trying to come
up with an idea for this chapter. I have been in a different country for a week, and vacation
broke my concentration. I needed advice. I needed help. Hell, I needed my friend,
MM! I got into chat with her, and decided the best way to get info was tease her.
Me: Guess what, MM?
MM: What?
Me: I'm making Duo get married
Me: TO HILDE!
MM: NO!
*MM88 has logged off.
*Duosgirl has logged on
DG: HE'S MARRYING ME!
Fight between me and DG ensues
Me: Do you want to be his **** *********?
DG: Sure!
Me: Ok, then, here's the plot...
No more! Read. Review. N/M more to say. Look, I tried. This won't be the greatest,
but hey, I tried.
Part 1: Ooh, He's Kinda Crazy
Duo felt tears stinging at his eyes. The priest... the kindly nun... they had taken care
of him since his dad died, when he was 3. Now, they were dead too. He was alone. He was 5.
Duo. Constantly hyper when not in his Gundam. Super serious when on duty. Caring and
protective to his friends, especially Heero. A good heart, but a big secret. A secret he had trusted
to only one. And she is dead.
Duo, after the destruction of the church, went to an orphanage. He tried to make friends, but
ended up scaring them all off. He would always try to smile and laugh, act hyper in an attempt to cover
his tears. One really seemed to have it in for him. A girl named Chelse.
She had kinda short, brown hair. Her eyes were avery-brown. She wore glasses, and had a bad
temper and attitude. She was his age, and definitely kawaii. She hated him, too. She took every oppo-
rtunity to beat him up, tease him, or make him mad. "Look, it's the parentless crack dealer!" "What a
bastard! His parents didn't die, they killed themselves after looking at him!" And so on, so forth.
He took it, crying, yelling, and screaming, for two years. He finally popped the question.
"Chelse, why do you hurt me? Why do you tease me, and beat me up? Why do you like ticking me off?"
She blushed. "I... I... I... I LIKE YOU! OK! I JUST DON'T WANT THE OTHERS KNOWING! Do you get it? I want
to be your friend. You, you don't want to even try! You ignored me every day, when I asked you to play.
I wanted to talk, know what happened to you, see the real you. But NO! You just turn away..."
She began to cry. Duo, feeling mad at himself, put his arm around her shoulder. "I'm sorry. I
didn't know it was that way..." He paused, and added, "If you loved me, you could tell me."
She gasped. They stared at each other for ten, tense, crucial seconds. That was all they needed.
She finally smiled. "I'm only seven." "Same." "We're perfect for each other!" "Let's eat lunch at the
same table, and sleep in the same room!" "Let's play together every day, and get married!" The two hugged.
They were happy, and the best of friends. Duo shared with her his deepest secret- his first love and his parents.
For three years, anyway.
It was a sad day for everyone. It was well known that the enemy forces were close by. They didn't
know how close they were. Chelse and Duo were drinking sodas outside. They tried to ignore the helicopters
and planes above them- until one landed in front of them. Three of them held guns, one was unarmed.
"Alright, what is this?" he asked.
Chelse trembled, and quietly began to sing "Just Love". "Just love, la la la la..." They turned
their guns on her. "SILENCE!" In her fear, she kept singing, "It's just love..." They fired.
She lay dying two hours later. "Duo... promise me this... nobody will ever replace me in your
heart... you will never kill someone for fun... or making you upset... innocent lives are lost that way!
You must... take your vengeance... upon only those who have slighted you. (That's inner wisdom showing
through AGAIN!) Promise me... Duo..." Her eyes dulled, her limbs went loose, and blood stopped flowing
from the wound. She was dead.
Duo lost it after that. He joined the military immediately, where he first met Heero (but didn't
know it was him) and became a god of death and hatred. He was the first to accept a job as a Gundam pilot
at 14. He began the fight at 15 - with a picture of Chelse at the dashboard.
Part Two: Dreaming in Metaphors
Three years later... (noticing a pattern here?)
Duo is sitting in bed, looking through an old photo book. Most are of two little kids talking,
laughing and playing together. He wiped away a tear and smiled at a picture of a girl with short brown hair.
She was hugging him, and both were smiling. He suddenly noticed Hilde hanging over his shoulder.
"Hi, sweetheart." "Who's that?" She pointed at Chelse. He didn't answer. He turned away. "She's dead."
Hilde was hurt. Duo had been ignoring her recently. He cried a lot. He wouldn't say why.
She now had a hunch. "That girl looks like me!" "It isn't." She quickly got a hunch on his silence.
"Duo, are you hiding something from me?" "I'm hiding something from everybody." He tossed the book onto
the shelf (somehow) and turns to Hilde. "What do you want?" She trembled. He looked angry at her. "I'm
sorry." "For what?" "You're obviously mad at me." "No. I'm just..." He trailed off, feeling stinging tears.
He wiped them away. "What's wrong, Hilde?" She sighed. "Duo, we've been together for a while now. I want to
know now, will you marry me?"
Duo stared at her, shocked. He finally whispered, "I can't." Hilde felt numb. "But, why?" "I love
you, Hilde, but I'm not ready to have..." He shivered, and wiped away more tears. "...another..." "Another
what?" "Female presence." "What are you saying?! Aren't I a female presence?" "Yes, but..."
She stormed out.
They didn't talk for three weeks. Well, actually, Duo tried to talk to her. She ignored him. "Hilde, is there
any point in fighting?" She only whispered, "If I can't heal your hurt, who can?"
Relena was worried. Duo hadn't talked to her ,Hilde or Heero for a week! She was worried. Not about Duo,
but about Hilde! She didn't care. They were so in love, and not talking! She was so worried, she finally decided to
see what was going on between these two.
"Hilde? It's me, Relena. Can I come in?" "Sure." She walked in, nervously holding herself. She is pregnant, about
5 months in at this point. Hilde looked up. "So, what's wrong, girl? I heard you and Heero having a huge fight in the kitchen last night.
Is he leaving you?!" Before Relena could say anything, Hilde jumped up. "Where is he?! Where is that cold bastard?! I'll
show him what it means to have a responsibility! If he wants to go, I'll kick him from here to Mexico!" "Hilde! He's not leaving!
That's not my concern! Heero wouldn't do that!" She sighed. "What happened between you and Duo is what worries me." Hilde's eyes
narrowed. "Why?" "He hasn't talked to anyone. He's gone to fasting. He won't tell me why.
I-I can't h-h-h-help worrying about him. Have you looked into his eyes?" "I don't care." Relena ignored her. "They're so hollow beneath.
They're dark and lonely, red. He's not eating. He's not sleeping. You should see him. He's thin... weak... He's going to kill himself!"
"I DON'T CARE!" Hilde's eyes were flaming. "I don't give a damn about Duo. He could die for all I care,
and I'd spit on his grave." Relena felt a pang of pity for Duo. She walked out without saying goodbye.
Hilde suddenly realized what Relena was saying, and she had screwed things up again! But she had said what she had said. Was there
a way to take it back? No. Was there a way to make it up to them? Yes.
Duo stood at the edge of the balcony. He looked down 4 stories, to the pavement. "There is nothing else to live for but death."
He sighed, and got his bearings. "Duo!" Hilde ran to him. "Please, don't! I don't want you to die! Don't do it! There is more for you
to live for!" Duo turned around. Relena was right! His eyes were empty, dull, almost lifeless. He was bony, from not eating for two weeks
and working just as hard. His skin and hair were dull, as lifeless and empty as his eyes. Hilde had one reaction. "Duo! What have you
done to yourself!" "Trying to suffer before I die." "Oh, don't!" Duo sighed. "Don't worry yourself about me. It's my fault. I shouldn't have
said the things I did. I'm sorry." He wiped away her tears. "Look, you're crying now. I admit it was my fault." He smiled and sang a little bit
of their favorite song. "It's no surprise to me, I am my own worst enemy, cause every now and then I beat the living shit out of me..."
Hilde smiled. "Please tell me why my car is on the front lawn and I'm sleeping with my clothes on, came in through the window last night, and
you're gone." They both laughed. "But, I still won't marry you."
That hurt. "WHY?!" "I lost someone, years ago." Duo was confessing! "My girlfriend was killed. I was ten... we promised we would marry
each other. I can have no other until she is at peace."
That night, Hilde looked in the book again. That girl... the one that looked like her... was that his girlfriend? "She's dead." It had to
be. Hilde had a blast of genius. "I think I'll need some help..."
"Quatre... Quaaaaaaaatreeeeeeeeee... QUATRE!" "Wha?" "I need your help." "Why?" "I need some clothes... maybe brown...
and a pair of glasses." "I got the clothes, but I don't got the glasses. Ask Trowa."
"Trowa." "Wha?" "I need to borrow your glasses. I'll give 'em back." "Go 'head."
Hilde creeped back into Duo's room. "Up late, Hilde?" Heero stood behind her, holding a candle. "I don't appreciate the way you were
talking to my Relena earlier..." "Shut it. I'm playing a trick on Duo." "I thought you two were friends, give Relena a break! She's so... a trick?
On Duo? Cool! Can I watch?" "Sure. Just don't laugh or make a sound."
"Duooooo... Duooooo... It is me, your first true love." Duo looked up- and saw Chelse! "Chelse! It can't be you!" "It is, Duo. I live on."
"How?" "Have you ever wondered what attracts you to Hilde?" "Your spirit embodies her?" "Yes. I live through your girlfriend. You can't leave her."
"But, what if she gets mad at me? She'll leave me." "There is one way to prevent that." "I can't marry her." "Duo, it does not do well to dwell on
dreams. You must wipe away the dank dust of your sad past, and look to a bright future."
Duo looked at "his long lost love" and understood. She smiled, and left the room. Duo left the room, looking for Hilde.
He ran into Heero, and asked "Seen Hilde?", then realized, "What're you doing here?" Heero shrugged. "Getting some water... Relena... asked me."
Duo smiled at his friend. "Might as well break out some champagne. I'll be back in a moment."
Heero watched as Duo ran back down the hallway. He almost smiled back, but continued- to go find some champagne.
Duo saw Hilde, standing on the balcony, looking at the shimmering stars. "Celestine blessings, of the stars, grant me the love I desire."
Duo stepped forward. "The stars sent you an e-mail. They said the love you desire is standing right behind you." Hilde hid a smile. "Meaning what?"
"Meaning I reconsidered your offer. Hilde, do you still want to marry me?" "Yes!" He then spoke in a silly Aussie accent.
"Then get your cute tight buns inside, baby. We're gonna go get drunk, and then start redecorating our part of the house.
Then, if you can do that, I'll marry you."
She held his hand. "When you say redecorate, do you mean paint?" "That's good enough." "Consider yourself married." She grinned wickedly as
they walked in, each looking at their fiancee.
