I Dreamed of Angels
Part One B
On the other, brighter side of town, a boy with
platinum blonde hair and blue green eyes about the same age as Trowa, could be
seen running down a grand staircase with dozens of servants following behind.
"Master Quatre, stop running or you might
hurt yourself."
The child ignored the warning and
continually ran around the house, but he was stopped in his tracks as two
strong arms lifted him.
"Causing trouble again?" said his father.
"No. I just don't wanna go this year with
everybody watching me from behind. It's not fair. I wanna go with other kids my
age. And besides, I think that *they're*..." pointing at the proud bodyguards
off to the side " ... beginning to scare people."
"Now Quatre, you know that it's very
dangerous for you to go without them. Everyone knows who you are and they'll
come after you for sure. After all, you are the ..."
"Yeah, yeah. I've heard it many times
before. It's because I'm the heir. I get it." With a sigh, he looked up at his
father with clear annoyance that quickly turned into a mischievous smile.
"Okay. But first, ... they'll have to catch
me."
With those last words, he quickly pulled
away from his father's hold and continued his little game of 'catch me if you
can'.
After an hour of nonstop running, one of
the servants was able to catch him. Within the next two hours, a group of 15
very tired people were finally able to bathe and dress him in his costume. It
was a simple, white outfit with matching wings and a gold circular object that
hung just above his head.
"That's our baby!"
"Now that outfit would match his room
perfectly. I told you that those cloud-like pillows would look nice. It
absolutely matches the scheme of the room."
"Excuse me, but I think that we're talking
about his outfit. You've got to stay more focused. Now, isn't he just
adorable?"
"Awwww. Look at that. Our cute wittle
brother. He's the most precious thing on earth."
"Correction. That's *heaven* and earth."
Quatre just blushed as his twenty nine wonderful sisters complemented him from
head to toe. He started to fidget as if
wanting to run somewhere, but he was completely surrounded on all sides.
Finally, after a few more minutes of complements, his savior entered the room.
"Girls, he'll never get enough candy if you
keep him here any longer. C'mon Quatre. We better get going."
"See you later sweety pie. Don't forget to
bring home lots of candies for your beautiful sisters."
Finally given a chance for a moment of
peace, Quatre ran to his father. They made their way down the staircase where
he was handed down to the army of servants who were going to watch over him.
"Today," Quatre thought "...is finally
going to be the day I spend some quiet time alone. My plan better work this
year."
