Chapter 4

"Trowa, why are you so happy?" Catherine couldn't take it much longer. Her brother had been uncharacteristically happy since he had arrived home late the night before.

"Des and I talked last night, Cathy. I apologized and told her how I felt - about her and about myself," He saw the look Catherine gave him, but chose to ignore it. Trowa knew how Catherine felt about his lack of ego, "I would have thought she would have simply told me I was crazy, and that she had to finish dinner, but she told me that wasn't true, and that she loves me just as I am. Cathy, I want to propose to her."

"Trowa, I think you should take it easy this time. Take her an dates for awhile before you propose," She didn't like how everything was happening so fast. "By the way, Heero and Duo both called last night while you were out. I told them you and Destiny were out on a date. Heero just grunted, but I think you might have some problems with Duo. He started yelling it out, and Hilde came in - umshe might be a problem tooanyway, call them both. Their numbers are on the counter. I'm going to the grocery store. I'll make lunch when I get back." Trowa nodded and turned around. Picking up the phone numbers and grabbing the telephone he followed his sister outside and sat at the picnic table.

"Hello?" A female voice picked up the phone.

" Relena, may I speak to Heero, please?"

"Trowa? Sure, by the way, congratulations on finding Destiny. You had better not hurt her again, though. If you do, You'll have a lot of angry women at your throat. I haven't seen her since the party the night before she left."

"Don't worry, Relena. I'm not letting her again."

"Good. I'll go get Heero," a deep male voice soon came on.

"Trowa, how are you?"

"Fine, you called last night?"

"You are invited to a reunion. It's next Saturday in the SancKingdom. It's cocktail attire." He didn't tell Trowa about the fact the Cathy was supposed to visit Destiny that day to invite her. The moment Relena had found out about Destiny, she had requested that they Surprise Trowa.

"Heero, I'm off. See you Saturday morning, " came the sweet voice of Relena from somewhere in the background.

"Where is she going?" Trowa questioned.

"She's visiting an old friend. Listen, I gotta go. Will you bee here Saturday night? By the way, you don't need to call Duo anymore."

"Sure. Thanks."

"Relena! It's really you! Oh my gosh, you look great!" Cathy exclaimed. After lunch she had grabbed some cloths, put them in a bag, and told Trowa she was going away for a vacation. Of course, she was only going to meet Relena. The two women were staying at Destiny's for the week.

"Cathy! You look great too. I'm gonna get my bags, then we can catch up on old times!"

"Great," Cathy had told Destiny they would be at her house by three, and it was three thirty. "Hey, hurry, we are running really late, and it takes awhile to get there!" Catherine called after her.

"Sure thing!"
