I think this will be the third or second to last chapter…but I'm not sure yet.

Wufei sat in the corner drumming his fingers on his knee. Of all of her captors…Wufei was the one Relena disliked the most. And since they were now doing the shifts where four people went out instead of the usual three Relena was usually stuck with Wufei alone for at least two hours at a clip. But soon it would be his turn to go out on parole and Heero's turn for a break.

Of all of her captors it was Heero she liked best. It was Heero who she talked to. Usually they discussed politics and how the world was going to hell in a hand basket. They laughed at the obsolete and looked with disdain upon the weak. They had a connection that seemed to grow stronger everyday.

Heero walked in the door and pointed Wufei towards the door. Wufei got up and slowly made his way towards the door. He was sluggish. It was obvious. Well it was two o'clock in the morning. But Relena was up. Up and ready to talk to Heero. Heero didn't mind the lack of sleep either. Heero sat down with a hard thud on the floor and started the conversation.

"Cats or dogs?"

A few days ago Relena would have asked. "Do you mean which one do I prefer?" But now she knew exactly what to say.

"Cats. I mean I have dogs but cats have more personality. Most dogs are basically the same…constantly happy."

"Really? I prefer dogs. They're faithful and can help you with chores."

"How so?"

"My old dog use to take out the trash for me. Of course he did have to be trained."

"Really? My dogs just lay around the house all day."

"Well they are the dogs of royalty."

"They should still stay active."

"Speak for yourself."

"What is that suppose to mean?" Relena huffed.

"It's supposed to mean that you think your dogs should act like other dogs. That just because they are royal dogs doesn't give them any excuse to be lazy. But meanwhile you don't act like regular girls. I could never talk about the higher politics of the British government with an regular girl…not that I mind but in essence you are being hypocritical."

Relena scowled. "Well if you must look at it that way."

Heero laughed. "Well I must."

"Whatever."

Heero stared to the heavens thoughtfully. After some thought he said, "What do you consider the ideal date?"

Relena blushed slightly. "I don't know. I've never really thought about it."

"Never?"

"No. You see my marriage is to be arranged."

"Ahhh…I see."

"So what about you?"

"First we would go someplace in New York, then well…things would have to progress from there."

"Why New York?"

"Number one: it is the greatest city in the world. Number two: it's the only place I truly know my way around."

"Oh."

Relena smiled then said, "Black or white?"

"Black."

"I thought you would say that. I say white."

"Well black is perfect nothingness."

"And white is possibility."

"Black has possibility."

"Right."

"It does! Let me explain…"

They talked on for the rest of Heero's two-hour break. Duo walked in the door tired and wet from the near-morning dew. "H-h-heero." He yawned.

"I'm going." Heero said, rising from the floor.

"Hey Heero?"

"What?"

"Do you want to collect the ransom? Remember we have to collect it tomorrow."

Tomorrow? Had the week gone so fast? Heero thought.

"Well?"

Heero looked for a long while a Relena.

"Hello…this is Earth Heero come in."

Heero looked at Duo.

"Well?" Duo asked.

"Yes."

Kiss alert!!! Next chapter!!! :-D.
