He won't kiss her again for a while…gosh darnit.

Relena looked up stunned at Heero, but he was already half way across the room. Just then Duo walked in the door. "Hello y'all." Duo said folding up his braid.

Duo stretched and collapsed on the dusty couch. "Well Heero old boy I guess we'll be going on a nice long vacation after this money comes through."

"How do you figure?"

"With that kind of cash…I figure we can go to the Caribbean's and never come back."

"The Caribbean's?"

"Paradise, my friend paradise."

"Paradise?"

Duo smiled. "Freedom. We would be free Heero. To sleep on beaches and ride waves and drink coconuts."

"After we get the ransom."

"One week my friend one week."

Heero gave a faint smile. "We should trade places with Trowa and Wufei now."

Duo got up from the couch. "I guess you're right." He said. "Wait. Whose gonna watch princess?"

"I'll wait here until Trowa and Wufei get back." Heero said.

"Okay." Duo said and left to get Trowa and Wufei.

Heero stood looking out of a dusty window. "Your plan isn't going to work." Relena said.

"Don't get your hopes up princess."

Relena leaned against the wall and sighed. And here she had thought good always triumphed over evil. Trowa and Wufei opened the door. "Good luck catching trespassers." Trowa said.

"I don't need luck."

Trowa smiled. "Of course not." He said as Relena slowly drifted into sleep.

When she woke it was dark out and well past midnight. There was one light in the room silhouetting a familiar figure.

"Heero? That's your name right?"

"Yes."

"I thought so."

Heero got closer and came into Relena's line of vision. "Relena Peacecraft?"

"Yes."

"What would you do with 2,000 dollars? Or is that too little for you?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"I'm just curious."

"I would buy jeans."

"What?"

"You think my parents bought these for me? Please. I had to steal them off of my brother."

"So you're not completely pure too…stealing your brothers clothes."

"They were too small for him."

"Don't make excuses."

"Fine. I wanted them so I took them."

"See isn't that better than lying."

"Don't preach to me."

"You know I use to say that exact same thing to my adopted father and now I know why he never listened."

"Why?"

"Cause it's whiney. Not that I'm preaching or anything."

"Right."

"Let me give you a piece of advice."

"Don't leave your house because you might wander into outlaw territory and be ransomed off to your parents?"

Heero smiled. "No. Although that is good advice."

"So what is your brilliant piece of advice?"

"Eat it. Digest it. Get over it."

"Excuse me?"

"Eat it: test it. Digest it: accept it. Get over it."

"Words of wisdom from and outlaw."

"No better kind."

Relena smiled. "It is good advice then."

Heero smiled. "I knew you would see it my way."

"For an idiot."

Heero narrowed his eyes and then smiled. "Sarcastic little thing aren't you?"

Relena just smiled.

"I have to go out on patrol."

"Oh Heero."

"What?"

"Good luck catching some trespassers."

Heero smiled at her.

"Thank you."

He's being nice!!! How cool!!! :-D.
