Me: man I know I am so dead for this one. You'll protect me from the masses right Lance?
Lance: No way you are on your own for this one.
Me: Some best friend you are. Sometimes I wonder why I chose you to be my best friend you know that.
Lance: Not my fault that you wrote a fic that could be potently lethal to your health.
Me: Fine. OK folks please don't shoot me for this one. I really like Duo and Hilde but this came to so I just had to write it. And 'D' I am really sorry for this if ya read it.
A.N.- OK I think I took some liberties on this. But I think that Sister Helen was like Duo's mother figure so that's the role she plays here. And also I want to thank Luna for taking the time and typing out the lyrics for this song. You have no idea how grateful I am for it. Oh yeah this might seem rough but Lance hasn't been checking his e-mail lately so no one has really beta read this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I remember as a child on a dark and stormy night, I heard the
Screen door slam and I was over come with fright. So afraid
That someone bad was trying to get in,
!BOOM!
Bang, Slam
"AAH!"
"Duo, are you okay?" asked Sister Helen quietly while walking slowly to Duo's bed.
"I …I heard the door slam. I thought that someone was tryn' to get in," Duo answered softly and was shaking noticeably.
But Mama came to comfort me and said,
"Don't worry Duo, love, its only the wind," Sister Helen said holding Duo in her lap and rocking him back in forth trying to calm him down.
It's only the wind.. And nothing more not the end of the world
Knocking at the door,
"Go to sleep Duo we have a big day tomorrow," Sister Helen said tucking him in and placing a kiss on his forehead.
So close your eyes and dream again. Believe me it's only the wind.
Every time I've had to face a bitter storm in life. Those words of
Comfort where my shelter in the night.
"Duo, I'm sorry but I have to leave. I just don't think its working out," Hilde said packing her things into the small suite case. Duo sat one the bed trying to think of something to say. Nothing was coming forward.
"Please Hilde, don't go. Just tell me what's wrong," Duo said nearly pleading with her.
"I sorry Duo. I really am. But you have to figure this one out on your own," Hilde said still packing.
But tonight I don't believe I'm able to pretend, the storm that you
And I are up against, It's only the wind.
Duo sat on the bed watching Hilde pack. Then suddenly he was watching her move to the bedroom door. He couldn't get his mouth and brain to function together to say what he wanted to. 'Please don't leave me. God please don't leave. What am I going to do without you?' He loved her so much.
I can hear you downstairs, and you're just about to leave. There's
Nothing else that I can do to keep you here with.
"Hilde, please tell me is there anything I can do? Please tell me," Duo asked once more. Hoping for a clue to keep her.
"No, Duo. You need to find out on your own this time," Hilde said with her hand on the doorknob. Then she left.
No… And now the screen door slamming, and I am frightened
Once again. What I wouldn't give if I could be convinced,
Duo sat in the living room shaking. His whole world just walked out and he was alone again. Trying to sort out what might have gone wrong. He just sat there for hours thinking.
It's only the wind… and nothing more. Not the end of world
Walking out the door. I wish I could dream again.
Believing it's only the wind (repeat)
Finally walking to the bedroom he laid down. He didn't fall asleep he was to scared of the night and the screen door.
Only the wind.

Me: Please don't hurt me. Lance save me.
Lance: No way you're on your own.
Me: I have a song for a sequel if you guys want it. But only if you really want it. So review please.
