Dreams- Part III
By J. Starfire
Duo opened his eyes slowly
to see a pastel peach ceiling lined with delicate blue flowers. He sat up in surprise and found that he was
in a small room with flowery wallpaper and a large window that reached down to the
floor. The curtains were drawn back
throwing a wide stripe of sunlight across the bed. He climbed out of the soft bed and warm blankets and padded over
to the chair on which his shirt and shoes were. He put on his shirt and shoes then walked over to the door
curious as to where he was. Just as he
touched the knob the door opened and a young girl bumped into him pushing him
back staggering. Suddenly he tripped
over the end of the bed and fell backwards landing in a heap on the bed.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! Are you all right?" A
girl of about his age hovered over him her face an expression of concern. Her hair was in tight blond curls and her
eyes were a bright blue. She wore a
flowery pink sundress that was obviously way too short and way too low at the
collar.
"Um...
yeah, that's all right. I'm ok." Duo untangled himself and sat up.
"I
heard some movement here so I wanted to go and check if you had woken up."
"Well,
it seems I have... Hey, how did I get here?"
"First
of all, my name's Lindsey, and I found you unconscious by the road with your
car in a ditch. This is my house, where
I brought you. Don't you think the
flowers are lovely? I absolutely love
flowers! Oh, what's your name?"
"Um....
I'm Duo and..." he hesitated, "do you have anything to eat? I'm starving!"
"Oh
sure! Follow me please!" She bounded out the door and he followed
eagerly his stomach grumbling. When he
had caught up with her, he found her digging through the refrigerator. "Let's see, I've got apples, oranges,
strawberries, pears, and blueberries. Or would you rather have spinach, celery, carrots, tomat-"
Duo
cut her off, "Wait, stop. Don't you
have anything basic like chips or something?"
"Chips!? That's preposterous! This house is a wholesome, organic food only
house. I will not allow such unhealthy
junk food such as chips to be stored or consumed in this household."
"Great! I'm stuck with this excessively health
conscious, goody-goody, blond ditz (no offense intended to blonds here). I've gotta get out of here." He mumbled.
She
looked up, "Sorry, what was that?"
"Oh,
nothing!"
She
paused then asked, "So, what would you like to eat?"
"Um...
I guess I'm not that hungry anymore! hehe!" he said lamely. "I
think I still have some pretzels and chips in my suitcase. Better get away and fetch 'em before she
catches me." Duo thought.
"Ok,
well I have some work to do so I'll check up on you in a few minutes!" She bounded away and Duo sighed with
relief. He hurried back to the bedroom
to find his suitcase. He looked
everywhere: under the bed, beside the dresser, under the table, he couldn't
find it. Duo, now frantic with hunger,
or rather a craving for junk food, ran over to the room Lindsey had disappeared
into.
He burst in gasping. "Where'd my suitcase go?"
"Suitcase?" she replied,
puzzled.
"My suitcase! I had a suitcase! a big bulging one! It was
in the trunk of the car!"
"Oh no! I didn't know you had one there! It must've been towed away with the
car! I'm so sorry!"
"Aaaargh! Oh no! Everything was in there!"
"I'm so sorry!"
Duo
raced out of the room and ran to call someone, anyone. He just had to get out of here! "Let's see... who's close enough to pick
me up here sometime soon. Umm... I think Quatre or Wufei and Sally might be
able to." He quickly contacted
Quatre. Quatre's face appeared on the
screen.
"Duo? What is it?"
"Where
are you? I need to get out of here...
fast!"
"Um...
well... what happened to your car?"
"It
crashed and this girl who saw me unconscious brought me to her home and forgot
my suitcase!! I only have ten bucks in
my pocket!! I can't get decent
transportation with that!!!!" Duo shrieked.
"Ok,
ok... I get your point." Quatre began
to type on his computer. "Um... let's
see... if I traced your call correctly... I should be about 7,500 miles away
from you. I could fly over in my
private plane to the airport in Westview, only about ten miles from where you
are, and I don't have anything planned that couldn't be put off for a few days."
"Great! How long until you're here?"
"Maybe
a day or two."
"Awesome! Thanks a lot! See you in a few days!"
"See
you!" Quatre's face disappeared and the
screen went blank.
Duo
leaned back in his chair and sighed with relief. He was saved. He would
only have to bear this for a few days. Suddenly his stomach grumbled loudly. Duo sat up and looked up towards the refrigerator with disgust. He would have to settle for fruit and
vegetables for now.
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
*~Two Days Later~*
Duo
gathered his belongings and rushed towards the door to put on his shoes. Lindsey was already outside waiting in her
car wearing a miniscule, flowery blue sundress. After jamming his feet into his shoes, he rushed out and
hurriedly stuffed himself and his belongings into the car slamming the door
shut behind him. Throughout the entire
ride, Duo whistled happily and rejoiced silently.
"Yes!! I am finally going to
be free!! I can get away from this-" Duo's thoughts were cut off as he realized that the car had
stopped and they had arrived at the airport. He clambered out of the car dragging his belongings with him. Waving a hasty goodbye he trotted off into
the airport.
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
Duo
sat in the leather airplane seat brooding about how he was ever going to find
Heero.
Quatre, noticing Duo's
unusual silence, asked, "Hey! Why are
you so quiet today?"
"Oh... nothing really..."
Duo mumbled.
"Hmmm... there must be
something..." Quatre thought carefully. "Miss Deathscythe?"
"Nah..."
"Heero?" Immediately Quatre knew he had hit
home. Duo's head jerked his way and
Quatre could see the grief he had concealed inside of him through his violet
eyes. Duo sighed, relaxed, and nodded slightly. After a period of silence, Quatre spoke up.
Quickly changing the subject,
he inquired, "Isn't your birthday coming really soon? It's only... let's see... two weeks away!!"
"Yes... it is..." Duo
replied indifferently.
"Why don't you stay at my
place until after your birthday!! That
way I can find you and give you a present!" He suggested cheerfully.
"Well..." Duo pondered
Quatre's suggestion for a moment, "I guess..."
"Great!" "Because I have the perfect present for
you..." Quatre smiled at the thought.
=========================================================================================
I know... this chapter was kind of irrevelant and thrown
together. I needed some way to
transition to the last chapter and finally begin to wrap it up. As you may know already, after I finish this
series, Spirits, and this one songfic, I will not be writing any more
yaoi. I feel this will be better for me
in the circumstances I am in...
Read the next chapter!! ^.^
