Hey guys! Welcome back. This is part 2. The second last part too.
Notes: ^_^ means the break in like time and that.
'…' Still means thoughts.
We start off with Stardust in the video store.
Stardust picked up the cassettes that she had dropped. She felt it. Another soul taken, Galaxy must have felt it too. 'I wonder if she's ok.'
By that time the store manager walked up to her. " Are you alright?" The young man asked.
"I'm fine. Just a tad dizzy, but I'll be fine." This man had a pure soul, she sensed then smiled.
"Take it easy ok. Wouldn't want you to have to leave us on your first day." He said as he walked away to tend to a customer.
Stardust glanced up at the clock. 'They'll be here soon. Just hold out a little longer Stardust.'
^_^
Duo opened the door to be taken away with the smell of fresh baked cookies. He took off his boots and walked around to the kitchen. He found Heero watching what seemed to be Galaxy bent over getting the newest batch of cookies.
"Oh, hello Duo." She smiled and brushed her dark golden hair back off her face with a mitten-covered hand.
"Whoa, they smell great," Duo replied.
"Taste them. There to die for," Heero suggested grabbing his sixth cookie.
Dou walked over to the kitchen table where the cookies were cooling. Slowly her grabbed one and bite into it. It tasted like heaven. "Mmmmmm. This is good." he continued to eat the chewy chocolate cookies.
"Why did you make these? You didn't have to," said Duo as he reached for his second cookie.
"I know. But it's the least I could do for someone who's going to help me find Stardust. Anyways two men living by themselves, I don't think you get baked goods often. "
Duo gave her a questioning look. He didn't know who that was.
"Stardust is her friends name." Heero told him.
"Oh. It's no problem." Duo said. "And thanks for the cookies. After you clean up, lets go find your friend."
"Ok. It'll only take me a second." She said as she placed the empty sheet into the sink.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seemed like hours dripped by as the three of them walked through the streets of Partok. (Is made up town) They checked out for different movie stores, but still no stardust. Duo enjoyed the walk, with Galaxy around he and Heero were full of life again.
She was laughing each time she came out of a store. Even though they were walking all over the large city in the cold, she still seemed to bring joy to both of them.
"Let's try this one," Heero said. He pointed to an old video store; with a sign that said: Super Joe's Videos.
"Okay," Galaxy said tossing her locks over her shoulder and walked in. She looked at the front desk and saw her at last.
"Gal Girl, what are you doing here? You where going to clean your room today." A young lady smiled reveling perfect white teeth.
"I'm sorry Star, but, you left your lunch at home and I wanted to give it back to you, but I got lost and locked out. Luckily I found Mr. Maxwell and he said he'd help me find you."
"Hello, my name's Duo, and this is my roommate, Heero Yuy." Duo extended his hand and shocked hers. Her hand was beautiful hand that felt warm. Her fingernails had white tip on them and were in perfect condition.
"Well, Good Afternoon Mr. Yuy and Mr. Maxwell. Thank you for bringing her here to me." She said through her smile.
"Well Star who do you have here?" Asked Joey, the manger of the store.
"Joey, this is my best friend Gal, and these two gentle men brought her back here to me because she got lost."
"Hello Gal. Hope you like it here in Partok. Star You can go home now, and take it easy okay." Joe waved his hand and returned to the other half of the room.
"Let me grab my coat and take Gal with me." She turned and her glossy dark brown hair shone in the light.
"Duo? Why don't you get a movie here?" Heero asked.
""Yeah, you should. You guys can sign it out in our name and get a discount." Galaxy said tugging on Duo's arm.
"Why not, will you help me pick one out Galaxy?" He asked
"Sure," She replied and dragged him over to the new releases.
"Well there she goes again. No wonder she gets lost." Star said to Heero when she came back.
"They're like children those two. So may I ask where you two live?" Heero looked at her.
"In the West Gates apartment. I gave her key to the super of the building incase she got locked out, she always loses things, but still she gets lost."
"We live in the same building. What's your apartment number?" Heero was getting interested.
" #19, Gal loves the view." She said.
"That's weird, we live across the hall." Just then Galaxy and Duo interrupted him.
"What movies Gal?"
"Final Fantasy and Hannibal, and Duo said that we can watch them at his house with them tonight." Her voice was filled with contentment. Heero gave Duo the look.
"Ok let me tell Joe were getting these, and then lets go."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The walk home was more enjoyable then the walk there. Star was smart, graceful and polite. While her friend Gal was loud, childish and sweet. Heero was attracted to Star, even though he belonged to Relena. Luckily she was away, again, and shouldn't be back soon.
"Where you making cookies, Gal?" Star said as they walked through the front door.
"Yeah, I was bored and they had no sweets." The girl twirled her hair.
"I'll make Popcorn, Duo you set the movie." Heero commanded and walked into the kitchen.
The first movie was great; both of the girls were Final fantasy fanatics so it went over well. Hannibal didn't go over that good for Star hid he face in Heero's shirt so it was shut off, even though Gal begged not to shut it off.
"I'm going to bed, 'Night guys." Gal said the got up and left. Duo went to his bedroom, leaving Heero and Star alone in the living room.
Star was looking down at her feet; she could hear Heero breathing calm and shallow breaths.
'So...umm, when did you move here?" Heero asked watching her tug on the end of her pale pink sweater.
"Yesterday actually." Star looked up into Heero's cobalt blue eyes, then quickly looked away. A slight blush painted her cheeks.
"Really? I didn't notice any moving people." Heero said watching her every move.
"That's because when have no furniture yet. Most of our stuff we brought with us. The movers should be here tomorrow." She said making an excuse. ' How could I forget the movers, Gal is going to let me have it.'
"So where do you sleep?"
"Well we have air mattresses and sleeping bags."
"Hn."
"Heero why are you asking so many questions?" She blushed more.
"Because…Duo seems to like Gal. and it would be a shame if they can't be together. " He placed his arm behind her back.
She looked at him and when she gathered enough courage she placed a kiss on his cheek. The perfect solider blushed.
"Heero what the hell are you doing?!"
Heero turned around to find Relena standing in the doorway. Her eyes gaping at the two. Heero and Star jumped away from each other at the same time. Relena stomped between the two. She glared at Star until Star averted her eyes, unable to face the hatred building in them. Relena then looked at Heero, who had a sheepish grin on his face.
"What was THAT!" Relena demanded, thrusting her hands on her hips that were covered in a pink business suit in an arrogant manner.
"Umm, I better be going. It was nice to met you," Star bowed nervously and ran out of the apartment forgetting her shoes.
"Heero you have some explaining to do!" Relena complained.
Heero slouched down on the sofa. 'This is going to be a long night.'
^_^
When Stardust entered the apartment Galaxy was floating around brushing her hair
"You like him," She commented in a monotone. She flexed her wings out, dropping a few feathers. "The Human world always makes me malt," she added.
"How did you know that I did?" Stardust was surprised.
""I'm not as stupid as everyone thinks I am. There's always a plus side to being an angel."
"Sorry," Stardust mumbled and expanded her wings.
"There's no way that you could ever get me to sleep on an air mattress. And how could you forget about the movers, oh brainy one?" Galaxy argued.
"Don't bother me."
"Uh-oh, Miss Goodie-Goodie angel's got an attitude."
Stardust disappeared into the bathroom and came back dressed in a long white gown.
"So did you like pecking him on the cheek? Do you think you could ever go any further?" Galaxy asked while climbing on a cloud.
"Don't go there. You were flirting with Duo, so leave me alone."
"But Stardust, C'mon it's not everyday that you…"
"GOODNIGHT AND GOD BLESS YOU GALAXY!"
"AND LET'S HOPE THAT THE NEIBOURS THINK THAT YOU'RE A FRUIT, STARDUST!"
^_^
Duo tossed and turned in his sleep. It was happening again.
DREAM
Fires hot enough to melt steal licked about Duo's ankles as he made his way up to the make shift earthen podium. He wiped his forehead to remove the sweat that accumulated from the almost unbearable heat.
His feet followed the same path as they always had, almost as if they had a mind of their own. 'NO!' he wanted to scream at them 'Stop here and end this madness!' But Duo found himself once again in front of that unspeakable terror.
"I have another soul for you to get me," it purred in it's sickeningly sweet voice, one that could drive a man totally mad yet commanded for attention in a perverse sort of way,
"Yes master." Duo answered obediently, the words seeming to escape from his mouth like a bird freed from its golden gilded cage.
"Your next victim," it purred, "will be Relena Peacecraft."
Duo froze on the spot; ice water seemed to snake it's way through his veins. Emptiness descended into the pit of his stomach.
"Yes master." the words flowed from Duo's mouth of their own accord.
"Good. I shall be expecting her soon." It sneered at Duo the way a puppeteer sneered at a puppet that it held in a combination of awe and contempt.
Suddenly, Duo sat up in his bed, a cold sweat drenching his sheets. A black haze swirled within his eyes, and suddenly Duo made the transformation into Shinigami, the God of Death.
^_^
