After a couple of hours, Heero re-entered the kitchen to find Quatre, Trowa and Alexis washing off an assortment of vegetables. "Thank GOD I went to the store, I would starve with you people!" Alexis, Quatre and Trowa looked around and only saw Heero. Their eyes were huge until Duo
bounded past Heero with a bag of groceries. "And just WHAT is in there Duo?" Alexis said, eyeing the bag as she washed off a handful of carrots. "Just the essentials." he stated, pulling the bag away from her prying eyes. "Twinkies are really essential aren't they?" Heero said, peering into the bag Duo'd nearly thrown into his chest. "DUO!" Quatre screamed, "You're spending our ration money on sugary snack cakes?!" Duo pulled the bag close to his chest and turned off towards his room. "Hmph, I bought this with my own money thank you very much!"
As Duo stormed off, Heero took a seat next to Alexis and began washing off some tomatoes and onions. "Sooo.. where've ya been all day?" Alexis asked, watching him from the corner of her eye. "Hnn.." he replied, placing the onions into a large bucket Quatre'd set out.
"Talkative, aren't you?" she said, standing up and brushing her hands off on her pants. "Well Quatre, I think I'm going to go and get those certain things you had a problem with." she winked and before she could reach the keys, Heero jingled them and stood up as well. "I'm driving." Alexis shrugged and headed back towards their room. "Okay. Just let me get the money." As she left, Quatre lugged the bucket towards Heero and eyed him suspiciously. "Why so eager to drive her somewhere?" he asked, brushing his hand across his forehead. "I learned a few things about our guest.. I don't think it's safe for her to be out alone." Quatre nodded. "Whatever you believe is right Heero."
"You going to just stay here?" Alexis asked, opening the door of the truck. Heero opened his as well and stepped out. "Guess not." she said, hopping out and shutting the door behind her. "What's so secret about this place?" Heero asked while looking around. Alexis giggled. "Um Heero, it's not the kind of secret you and your friends keep.." she said with a laugh as she walked in the front doors of Victoria's secret. Heero grunted and followed behind her. Whatever she did, he had to keep an eye on her. As she walked into a dim lit corner, Heero realized just what they'd come shopping for. "Why didn't you tell me this was what you needed to buy?!" he asked in a horrified
whisper. Alexis wasn't looking. She was more interested in what they had in stock. She chose a few things and walked behind a curtain. Heero was in a state of shock for a moment and then looked around for Alexis. "Alexis!" he whispered and looked down to see her feet beneath the
curtain. He walked over and yanked the curtain open, revealing a scantily clad Alexis. "Heero!" she hissed and Heero blushed furiously. "Alexis! I'm so sorry!" he shut the curtain quickly and noticed
his hands were shaking as an intense wave of emotion swept over him.
A moment later, Alexis came out, her cheeks redder than the curtain. "I think these will be fine." she squeaked, moving on to a different section. Heero followed in silence. Not so much as just being himself, but from the strange emotion that coursed through his veins. The same things went on, Alexis would try on some clothes and then come out, moving on to another section. At the end of their trip, Alexis emerged from the curtain and looked at Heero. "Does this look okay?" she asked, standing barefoot before him in a black satin nightgown, only coming down to her mid-thigh, trimmed in dark blue ribbon. Heero stared and then nodded. "Looks fine..." he whispered, the
feeling returning even more than before. She went back into the room and emerged in her own clothing, a whole basket full of things with her. As they paid for it, Heero remained silent. Once they got into the truck, Heero spilled out an apology. "Alexis, I'm so sorry for barging in on you like that. But I was doing this research about you and it's not safe for you to be out alone and I.." Heero trailed off as he felt Alexis's hand on his arm. "You.. were worried.. about... me?" Heero turned away and started the truck. Alexis fell silent but then laughed a little. "What's so funny?" he asked, turning to her for a moment. "Well.. now I don't have to worry about you snooping through my
clothes to see what all I've got, you already know!" she grinned and Heero's cheeks grew bright red as they turned down the dirt road towards the cottage.
