Part 15
After another rushed day of last minute preparations, the boys were sitting in the living room couch, once again waiting for the girls to finish getting ready. This time all were calm except for a very fidgety Duo who kept tugging at his black bow tie and black waistband. Wufei had been trying his best to ignore the disgruntled pilot, but he could not take it anymore.
"In the name of Nataku, baka will you sit still?!?!"
"I would sit still, if I didn't feel like a stuffed penguin!!"
"Hn. Weakling what's the difference between this outfit and your priest one?"
Duo stuck his nose in the air smugly; "The other one is comfortable! This stupid tie is choking me and why do I have to wear a girdle?"
Trowa and Heero looked at each other and laughed while Wufei glared at him and opened his mouth to retort. Quatre cut him off. "Duo, just loosen the bow tie a bit and it's not a girdle its a waist band."
Duo just frowned but loosened his tie. "Yea? Well I don't care I feel stupid." He finished again and continued to fidget never the less.
Quatre just shook his head sadly. "You do realize you have to get used to it since you are going to be wearing that all evening don't you?"
"Don't remind me." Duo mumbled finally attempting to stay still by leaning back in the couch.
After a few more minutes or in Duo's case, a couple of eternities later, the girls came downstairs and approached them happily. This time Relena wore her hair down in curls framing her face with a slim lavender gown. Amanda followed her and wore her hair in a messy bun and a slim black gown with a slanted bottom. Both girls were once again sights of beauty. Duo wolf whistled and the girls giggled.
"Finally! It's about time! Now we can go get this thing over with." Wufei announced as he stepped outside and made his way towards the limo.
Relena frowned. "He's really looking forward to this isn't he."
"Don't worry about Wu-wu he's afraid of people"
"I heard that you mindless idiot!!"
"Oh shut up"
"Listen you..."
Quatre sighed and interrupted the two. "Come on you guys we are going to be late."
Wufei scowled but stepped into the limo. Duo grinned "Thanks Q-man."
"Whatever. Get your butt into the limo."
The others laughed and eventually everyone got into the limo awaiting them.
The limo ride was quite uneventful and boring for everyone. There was still too much tension between them and therefore the ride was too quiet. Well quiet between the arguments between Wufei and Duo, who still fidgeted over his tuxedo. The finally arrived at a large mansion where the banquet was being held and where they spotted almost everyone they knew. Once out of the limo, they went to mingle with the other guests.
Duo busied himself flirting with Hilde as soon as he found her. Sally smiled and made a somewhat pleasant conversation with Wufei. Quatre entertained himself with almost everyone and did his best to politely avoid Dorothy. Duo laughed at his attempts since Dorothy did find him and made him converse with her every once in a while. All in all everyone seemed to be having a good time. Well everyone except for Trowa who had a few younger girls who were allowed in because they were either daughters or nieces of some other important people following him around and Heero was alone most of the time unless people went over to him and started conversation.
Heero could have cared less his eyes kept wondering over to look at Relena and narrowing every time she caught him and glared back. This was not the only thing that had him confused, it was also the fact that every time she did this, Amanda seemed to know, look up from whom ever she was speaking with and would look at him and smirk. Heero did not like this one bit and would glare back at her. This vicious cycle went on for about half an hour until Heero eventually got tired of it.
Relena had begun to dance with a man or rather, boy, that Heero had never seen before but he didn't care. He made his way over to the dancing couple and tapped the boy on the shoulder lightly. The boy nodded and let Heero take over. Relena immediately stopped dancing and pulled herself out of Heero's grasp.
"Don't touch me Heero."
Heero narrowed his eyes angered and tired at being confused. He didn't like this feeling.
"What in the world is wrong Relena? Could you at least tell me that much so I could at least know why you're mad at me?"
"How can you not know? How? You liar." She whispered the final part with anger.
"Lying about what..." Heero growled.
But He quickly wished he hadn't asked so roughly because Relena's eyes quickly swelled up with tears and she ran outside, out into the large parking lot where there was a large water fountain. Heero mentally slapped himself for being so mean to her when he was trying to find something out and headed out after her.
Amanda who had been watching the two closely the whole evening, saw what had happened and her eyes darkened. Duo, who had been talking to her, realized this and became worried. He didn't like that look in her eyes. He had seen the way she kept an eye on both Heero and Relena and the fact that both had left the banquet and large mansion. Amanda smiled up sweetly at him.
"Umm, can I be excused for a minute Duo sweetie?"
Duo narrowed his eyes "Um, actually..."
"Duo! Where have you been? How could you leave me there almost practically talking to myself?"
Duo gave his trademark grin and did his best to explain himself to a very ticked off Hilde. Amanda took this opportunity of his distraction and sneaked away, off in the direction of Heero and Relena.
When Heero had reached the large fountain, he found a tear stained Relena standing by it.
"Relena?"
"Just leave me alone."
"Relena, just tell me what I did."
Relena looked him in the face and all her anger at once spilled out of her mouth.
"YOU KISSED HER! YOU KISSED HER WHEN YOU TOLD ME YOU LIKED ME AND WANTED TO GO OUT WITH ME!"
Heero stood back stunned for a minute. "Relena, I didn't kiss anyone."
"Oh you didn't? You didn't kiss Amanda?? You liar!"
Heero's eyes darkened as he realized the situation she was referring to. "I never kissed Amanda! She kissed me! She forced me to kiss her, I didn't want to!"
"You..."
But Heero cut her off, "I didn't Relena, you have to believe me. I meant it when I told you a month ago that I wanted to go out with you, I haven't thought about anybody else but you."
Relena stared into his eyes searching for the truth and when she was convinced she broke into tears, mixed with joy and relief.
"Oh Heero, I'm so sorry! I should have never believed Amanda, it's just that it's been so confusing and everything and it was so easy to fall into her trap, oh I'm so sorry!"
Heero smiled "It's okay Relena, I'm just glad this whole thing is cleared up."
Relena nodded and reached out to hug Heero. Both stood in the moonlight embraced in a hug and just as their heads tilted towards each other...
"Aww isn't that a sweet sight."
Heero and Relena's heads snapped up at the sound of the voice they had grown to hate.
"Amanda..." Heero growled
"Yes darling?..Oh I see you don't want me bothering you two love birds."
"Why can't you just leave us alone?"
"Oh but my dear queen I will after I get some business done."
"Wha-?"
But Relena stayed quiet as in one fluent movement Amanda had grabbed her and held her gun to Relena's head. Heero's eyes immediately widened but stood still as Amanda threatened him with the gun as well if he came closer.
"Amanda, you psychopathic bitch leave Relena alone!"
"Aw such sweet nothings you whisper into my ear Heero, but uh uh uh not until you make a deal with me." Amanda retorted squeezing Relena's neck a little further causing her to cough and choke.
"What deal?" Heero asked keeping his eyes on Relena.
Amanda smiled evilly "Well I've tried and tried to keep you two away from each other so that you and I could live a life happily ever after but nooo, you just had to keep liking and going after each other. I knew that after I poisoned her mind with that lie about you and me, she'd get all mad and angry with you. But I also knew you're stubborn and would want to know why so she wouldn't be for long. That's how I figured you guys would pick some sappy scenery like this to get all romantic and forgive each other. So Heero honey, if you want to keep seeing your precious Relena alive, then you have to marry me..."
"Marry you!! Where did this come from?"
"Uh,uh, uh" Amanda warned tightening her finger around the trigger of the gun.
Heero froze and Amanda smirked. "As I was saying, you would have to marry me and then you can still see her as a friend. It's your choice, have her brains smothered all over your tuxedo or have her as a good friend for the rest of your life."
Heero stared at Amanda as she laughed and switched his eyes over to Relena. Relena gave him a sad smile and nodded her head. Heero sighed sadly.
"Amanda I..."
"Hey you bitch! Let her go!!"
Heero looked up to see Duo running in and he kicked Amanda in the side making her stumble and thus releasing Relena. Relena quickly ran to Heero and Heero held her. Both made their way to the fountain, and Heero knew that Duo would be able to handle Amanda on his own.
When Duo had finally calmed Hilde down he had gone to see where his other three companions had gone off too. He headed in their direction and was slowly growing more annoyed by the way everyone kept keeping him back with either conversation or offering food. When he reached his destination, his heart skipped a beat at the sight he saw. Amanda holding a gun to Relena's head and obviously threatening Heero who looked like he had no idea on what to do. He slowly sneaked up to them and when things seemed to get out of control he leapt and kicked Amanda in the side, making her release Relena.
Both of them had landed into a nearby bush and Duo was searching for the gun Amanda had dropped when he kicked her.
But he soon felt sharp nails ripping into his back and he yelled out.
"You asshole you ruined everything!!"
"I could care less bitch!" Duo yelled out flipping her over his shoulder.
Amanda growled and kicked him in the stomach and punched him repeatedly.
"Damnit I thought you were behind a computer all your life."
"Doesn't mean I couldn't have picked something up baka!!"
Duo growled and continued to fight her until a blackish shine caught her eye and she made a mad dash for her dropped gun.
Duo caught her intentions and scrambled to get the gun as well.
Heero continued to rub Relena's back as she cried hard on his shoulder. His attempts were futile because she soon dropped to her knees on the concrete beside the fountain shivering uncontrollably.
"Shh, it's okay. It's over now Duo is taking care of it." Heero tried again.
"I know Heero, I know it's just that you would have done that for me! You would have given yourself away like that for me, know that you would have to live the rest of your life with that witch."
Heero just smiled and kneeled down beside her.
Duo just missed grabbing the gun away from Amanda and she held it up triumphantly. Duo's eyes widened in fear as she aimed it at a kneeling couple by the water fountain. Amanda smirked at him and her finger began tightening around the trigger once again. With new found speed and energy Duo jumped at Amanda and sent her crashing to the concrete floor he would have smirked at her as he had her pinned but something made his face contort with fear. No sooner had he knocked her down, when a gunshot could be heard. He slowly turned his head to look and soon two screams could be heard through the night.
