Ch. 3

Duo stepped out of the car, preparing himself for a beating after he broke the news to Hilde. She was certainly going to be throwing breakable objects at him. But, what other decision did he have? If she really wants to stay with him she can move. It's not like they haven't made a considerable amount of money since they started their business. With little to non expenses, the two of them could both afford to attend college for at least four years. Duo was definitely in for it.

As soon as he opened the door he found her sitting in the living room on the floor. She was sprawled out on the carpeted floor and had papers all around her. She looked up with a huge devious smile on her face and jumped up and ran to him. He was just about knocked over when she jumped on him. "Duo!" she yelled.

"Hilde?" he asked surprised and stumbling all over the place with the small woman hanging on him.

"Guess what?!"

"What babe?" he said bending down to the couch to place her there. Something tempted him to just lean into her and smell her hair. It smelled like sweet Jasmin and other flowers all over her body, and he was always sidetracked when she walked by.

Hilde looked at him funny as he finally let go of her and quickly walked away toward the kitchen. "Um...well, I have made an important decision," she said as she sat up and looked over the counter behind the couch to see his face as she said it.

"What? You have? Me too, but you...wait...you first."

"Well, I'm going to college," she said with the biggest smile on her face. "Oh Duo it will be so much fun, I haven't been to school in so many years, and it's so much fun."

"Wait...that's your important decision?" he came back over and sat on the coffee table in front of her.

Hilde sat up and pulled her knees under the huge T-shirt she always wore that used to be Duo's. She tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears and looked down at the couch. "Well yeah...I thought..."

"You thought what?" Duo said in an angry tone. He wasn't sure why he was so angry, after all she was supposed to be yelling at him. "When were you going to tell me?" he said, and an expression of hurt crossed over her features. He realized that there was nothing to be mad about, she, after all, was going the same place as she was so why worry.

Hilde looked up with watery eyes and said, "But...but I thought you were at the school to go too, and I just wanted to go too. I'm sorry."

Duo stood up and pretended to be angry as he looked down at her. He reached down and grabbed her small wrists and pulled her up. Standing on the couch she was just a little bit taller than he, and he smiled as she looked at him with confusion. "Babe you have no idea how happy this makes me," he said as he pulled her down in a hug. She squeezed back with all her might and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

She and Duo both blushed as she said, "This will be the best time of our lives."

"Hello, are you here with someone?" Relena asked as she set her purse on the armrest and smiled brightly at the young man across from her. Riding in shuttles always made her a bit nervous before they took off, she always figured it to be bad memories.

The man looked up from his magazine and smiled back, eyes gleaming through his thin framed glasses. "Absolutely not. Please do sit with me Ms. Peacecraft."

Relena was taken back by his sharp features, and his recognition of whom she was. She shyly sat next to the man in the luxurious seat by the aisle. The man was very smooth looking in his tan slacks and white shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He looked about the same size as Heero, but although his hair color was the almost the same, it was very short and black. "Hi, my name is Ethan Kaines," he said as he held his hand out.

"Hi, Relena Peacecraft," she said in humor. Both stared at each other for a minute, and Relena finally mentally yelled at herself to get a grip. 'What a gorgeous man!' She looked back up at him and smiled, he was still staring at her. His eyes were a blueish green color, a hazel. Relena could definitely feel herself blushing and knew this trip would be very difficult. Conversation being her best skill, was her only way through it.

"So why are you headed out to a practically unpopulated small town on a moon?" she used as the starter. The last thing she needed to do was get on the topic of herself and her political position. He smiled.

Meanwhile, Heero lie in his bed staring at the photo on his computer screen, sitting next to his bed. His small apartment wasn't much, but to him there was too much space to fill. One thought ran through his head day and night. A picture of that beautiful woman dressed in yellow with long golden hair framing her face.

Heero couldn't help but hope she would come to see him soon. If there was ever one thing in the world he wanted, it was to finish what they started the night in the rain. But Heero knew it was not appropriate to hope for things like that. But with little homework in the beginning of the semester, he had little other than reading to fill his time. So he let himself daydream about her. Thoughts of Relena walking over to him and laying down next to him, laying down on him, kissing him. 'I really have to get a new hobby besides hacking into computers.'

Heero sat up and put his shoes on, 'Better take a walk.' As soon as he got to the door he heard a knock. He opened it to find a girl his age with short light brown hair standing shyly with her hands behind her back. He heard whispers coming down the hall, and the girl turned her head and smiled in the direction. "Um...Heero, Hi!" she said.

"Hi," he said and stared the girl down making her shrink back toward the wall behind her.

"Um, I was wondering if you would like to go for a slice of pizza?" she asked sweetly looking up with bright green eyes.

Heero looked back in his apartment for a second and then said, "Well I was just on my way out for a walk..."

"Oh, okay. Never mind. I'm so sorry to bother you. I'll see you arou..."

"Don't worry about it," he said, unsure of whether to tell the pathetic girl to get lost or to be nice to the girl and go along.

"Um, ok. Bye," she said as she spun on her heel and walked stiffly down the hall.

"Hey," he said calling to her as he shut his door and locked it. "Might as well, I'm hungry anyway."

Duo and Hilde walked into the Administration Building and walked up to the man at the counter. "Hey, do you think you could direct me toward my building?" The man printed up papers on the details of the campus and where the locations of everything including student housing were.

"One more thing," he said with a wicked look on his face, "do you think you could direct me to a Heero Yuy's apartment?" Hilde picked up her bags and smiled devilishly at Duo.
