Duo grabbed Heero's shoulder and dragged him onto the dance floor.
"If you think I'm going to let you have mope around you're wrong, this is a party! And if there's no Relena to drag you around, I suppose I'll have to do it for her! Now, lets go dance!" Duo suggested ad he held Heero's hand and the two started dancing. Duo looked exceptionally pleased with his partner's ability to foxtrot so well and Heero seemed happy for once about the party.
"Did you see that? Heero's smiling!" Quatre whispered. Trowa nodded.
"Perhaps."
"Feh, its that Maxwell, he's just funny to look at." Wufei muttered.
"Perhaps" Trowa said.
"At least they're enjoying each other, right? That's basically what counts." Dorothy pointed out.
"Yah, Dorothy has a point there. Eh? Where has Relena gone off to now?" Catherine questioned, at this the rest of the guests looked up and separated, all searching for the missing Relena. However Duo and Heero seemed unaware of this fact and continued dancing.
"Having fun?"
"Hn."
"Oh come on cheer up! Relena's not here to bug you!"
"Hn."
"I give up Heero, eh? Where did everybody go?"
"Gone. We should go look for them."
Duo nodded and the two set off in two different ways, but before Duo had gotten very far, he stepped on a loose stone and as it turns out that loose stone was a trap door and started to slide through.
/Dammit, this must be one of Relena's darn tricks! / And he grabbed onto the edge.
"Hate to yell for Heero's help," Duo muttered, " But I kinda need it…" But before Duo had shouted anything, Heero was there, helping Duo up.
"How did you know I needed help?" Duo asked puzzled.
"You're always getting into trouble, so I decided to check on you." Heero replied flatly. Duo raised an eyebrow.
"Thanks. This trapdoor, I think I should go through, you can come after me." Duo said. Heero nodded, his cobalt blue eyes seemed to waver as if a burst of emotion was trying to fight its way out.
"Heero, you okay?" Duo questioned, he patted his fellow pilot on the shoulder reassuringly.
"I was just thinking…"
"Yah?"
"How the hell are you going to kick Relena's butt in a dress?"
"Baka." And with that Duo quietly slipped through, no sound came from within and so assured that Duo was fine Heero, too, slipped through. After 5 minutes of sliding through tons of twists and turns Heero landed on the ground, gracefully, what one would expect from the perfect soldier. Heero quickly straightened up, and looked at his surroundings. His eyes widened, and fear almost seemed to show on his face, but his face remained emotionless.
"DUO…ina!' Heero shouted, utterly surprised for once. In front of him, Duo was caught up in a net, that hung from the ceiling and poor Duo was trapped within it, his chestnut brown hair spilled around him.
"God, there's only one person stupid enough to conjure up a trick like this…Relena." Duo muttered.
"WA HA HA HA HA, guess what?! IT IS!" A voice cackled and out stepped somebody from the shadows. A girl with a golden hair and a poofy pink dress danced around in little circles, all the while holding onto a piece of rope. At the sound of the voice, Duo and Heero cringed, and somewhere, 2 miles or so away a mirror broke into a thousand pieces.
Relena swept up her golden hair and fingered it delicately and a grin spread across her face.
"Here's how we'll play Heero. Your lovely Duoina here for your love. Meaning you must marry me, in order for me to let your Duoina here go. Say no, and Duoina dies, say yes and my heart is yours." Duo stood up, wobbling every now and then, but standing up nevertheless, and he glared at Relena with every inch of hate he could muster. This time he was really mad. /Dammit, that girl stops at nothing does she? She'll do anything to get Heero, HA! But not this time, never, over MY dead body! /
"Alright, Heero you get your butt outta here, I'm gonna show this girl some serious fighting. Go already." Duo shouted.
"You kick Relena's butt in a dress? NOT possible, this I gotta see. Besides, you'll get in trouble like always."
