Heartfelt Secrets
By GW Dark Chyld

Chapter Seven

It was two days before the party when guests started arriving. Wufei had arrived first, with a few agents from Preventer to manage security. As a personal favor, Quatre was able to convince Lady Une and Sally Po to come, as well as Ms. Noin and Zechs Marquise, who would be arriving later. Also scheduled to come would be close friends to the pilots, such as Relena, Hilde, and Catherine, Trowa's sister. It was also a reunion for Quatre and his many sisters. Over all, this party was going to be huge, and Quatre was very busy.

He didn't even notice when Duo wandered into the mansion, Hilde behind her. The place was packed with servants and hired helped, and they had to take care not to get run over by anyone.

Duo glanced around the hall. "Wow...think they got enough people?"
Hilde jumped forward as a servant closed the door behind her. "Nah...you think?"
Duo laughed and climbed atop a chair and looked around, finally spotting a blond head bobbing through the crowd. "Ahoy, Quatre! Over here!"

The Arabian looked around, and then found the chestnut-haired girl waving from atop a chair. He flashed a smile, then managed to worm his way over to them. He was out of breath when he managed to say 'hello' to them both.

"Hello Hilde...hello Duo...nice to see...you two could make...it..."
Duo smiled." Easy there, Q. Ya might have a heart attack."
Quatre smiled at them. "Thanks for your concern...Hilde, you room is upstairs and down the hall...it has you name on the door. Duo, you'll have the same room you had last time."
Hilde grinned. "Thanks Quatre...I'll catch up with you guys later, I'm going to go unpack." With a wave, she disappeared into the crowd.

Duo watched her go, then turned back to Quatre. "Um...hey Quatre...did you know if...uh...Heero's coming?"
Quatre frowned a bit and bit his lip. "I'm not sure. He might still turn up."
Duo noticed that he looked troubled, but ignored it. It was probably all the stress getting to him. "Oh...okay...thanks anyway, Q." She flashed a smile then left, heading to her room to get settled.


Quatre watched a downcast Duo enter the throng of people. She may have made it appear that nothing was wrong, but he could feel her disappointment, what made it worse was that he knew Heero would be there. He had helped Heero plan what was going to happen at the party, and what to do about it. He slipped back into the crowd and managed to get to his room on the first floor. He slipped in, locking it behind him.

He sighed and turned around, seeing that Heero was sitting on the bed, looking rather pale, but set. Relena was there too, as well as Hilde. For some reason, Quatre felt that they were conspirators planning the downfall of Duo. He shuddered and walked over.

"You sure you want to go through with this, Heero?" Quatre asked.
Heero raised his gaze and gave Quatre a glare. The blond smiled. "All right then...it's your choice."
He then looked over to Relena and Hilde. "By the way, thanks for helping. I'm sure Duo will appreciate it."
Hilde laughed. "Appreciate it? Duo better! After all Heero's going through?"
Relena smiled. "Of course. It's no problem at all, Quatre. We're just glad to help."

Hilde turned to Heero, grinning. For a moment, she reminded him of Duo when he was about to do something evil. "Now...where to begin...."
