Duo and Wufei walked out of the small theater, and into the crowded mall.

"So, how'd you like the movie?" Duo looked at the Chinese boy as he carefully thought about it.

"Let's see. bad acting, bad script, bad puns, bad jokes, bad plot.. I loved it!" Both boys begin to laugh.

"I have to agree. So what should we do now? It's still early afternoon."

"Hm.. How 'bout we get a burger?" Wufei suggested. It didn't take Duo long to decide.

"Okay! I think the best ones are in the food court over there," Duo said walking them ovr to a stand. They ordered and sat down in silence to eat.

"Hi, you two!!!"

"Aaaccckkk!!! {sigh} Hi, Quatre. What brings you here?" Wufei just held back the laughter that was almost bursting from his lips as the saw the braided boy jump.

"I'm here on a date," he said, motioning to the strange guy with brown hair and green eyes on his arm. "What about you? You two doing the same?" Quatre asked hopefully.

"NO!" Quatre leapt back startled at the two boys' in unison word.

"We just got done seeing a movie," Duo said, trying to support the argument, but not very well, seeing Quatre's reaction.

"Ohhhhh!" Quatre gave him a sly grin and winked. "Gotcha!" Duo was just about o pick up his food again, when Quatre grabbed his arm and whispered, "Duo, let's talk!" He turned smiling to the other two boys and smiled. "Excuse us a moment," Quatre said as he dragged Duo to the bathroom. "Sooooo?" Quatre asked, watching Duo pick a piece of lettuce out of his teeth.

"'So' what?" Duo didn't dare look at Quatre, who was staring at him with a look of *something* in his eyes and smile. Quatre couldn't help himself, he loved finding out about peoples love lives and always try to play cupid.

"Did he make any moves?" Quatre asked, hungry for details.

"Oh, Gods, Quatre! No, he didn't."

"Oh.. Did you?" Quatre seemed determined to find out what happened, though nothing did.

"Hopeless! You're hopeless! No, I didn't." Quatre sighed in aggravation that his friend, who obviously, to him at least, had a thing for the other kid.

"Well, come on! Get things rolling!" Quatre was slowly becoming obsessed with this little 'dilemma'. Duo snorted in exasperation that Quatre was becoming obsessed.

"Get a grip! We're just friends!" Quatre cringed and leaned up against a sink.

"Ooo! That'll kill 'im!" Duo cocked a brow and frowned at him.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, and I don't wanna know!" Duo called as he walked out of the bathroom and to his seat. "I'm back." Quatre strutted up to the tall, brown haired boy and latched on to him.

"I'll see you later. Come on, Triton," Quatre said tugging at the other boy.

"Trowa."

"Whatever." Quatre managed to pull the boy along and out of the mall, leaving Duo shaking his head.

"Baka!" he muttered.

"Did you say something?" Wufei asked quietly.

"No, nothing," Duo replied, taking his food down in three bites. "Let's go home." They silently walked out of the mall and home.
