"A party?" asked Hilde. Richard Maxwell had just proposed they hold a party in honor of her becoming president of Maxwell Fashion and his son becoming vice president.
"Yes, but it wouldn't be one of those boring parties. You know, the ones that require everyone to wear a tuxedo and the ladies to wear cocktail dresses. No, this party would be to honor you, and you're young! We could have it in a club or something."
Ideas started to form in Duo's head. 'Yes, a party, but not a stuffy affair. A party...'
Richard Maxwell turned to his son. "What do you think, Duo? Great idea, huh?"
"I totally agree with you, Dad. A party that is designed for young people. honoring the new young management of Maxwell Fashion. I think it's a great idea, Hilde. We should do it," he said excitedly. A party that he didn't have to dress up for. It was cool.
"I agree too. Then it would give the heads of other companies a good look at who will be leading the company for the years to come. It'll be different," she said smiling.
"So, it's settled then? We'll have a party at a respectable club, one of the many, I'm sure, my son frequents. How does next week sound? On Saturday night?" he asked hopefully.
"We'll have to see if we can get the club reserved for that day. But other than that it sounds great," said Duo. "Hilde and I will arrange everything."
Hilde looked at him with skepticism. She took a mental sighed and agreed. They would be working more closely than before for the next few years, so she might as well get used to it. They would start working as a team with this party. "Okay," she said. "We'll plan it. It'll be in our honor, but we can also announce that you'll be retiring, Mr. Maxwell. Other companies have only read it in the newspapers, and we can use this party to announce it formally."
"Great! Come on, Hilde, let's get started," said Duo bouncing up from his chair. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room.

(the night of the party)
Hilde fidgeted with her hair, her shirt and paced up and down the hall.
"What are you doing? Go and get ready or you're gonna be late to your own party!" shouted Relena when she came out of her room. She was dressed in a denim mini skirt and a black halter top. She was wearing strappy black heels. Her hair was halfway up. She was wearing much more make up than she usually wore. They were going to a night club after all. It was okay to be a little bit flashy.
"I don't know! I don't know what to wear! I don't know what I'm doing, I'm a little bit nervous!" she cried.
"Chill! Take a deep breath and let's go in your room. Pick out something to wear and knock 'em all dead tonight." Relena looked at her watch and said, "Quatre will be here any minute now, we gotta hurry," she said and ushered Hilde into her bedroom. They ended up picking black leather pants for Hilde and a black tube top. The black outfit accentuated the paleness of her skin, but not making her look sickly pale.
They both jumped when they heard the door bell ring. "Damn!" said Relena and went to answer it. Quatre was on the other side of the door, and next to him was another young man. Relena took a moment to asses the man. He was tall, tanned and his hair was midnight black. His eyes a magnificent dark blue. 'Mmm, tall, dark hair and light eyes. Just the way I like 'em,' she thought.
"Hi, Relena!" said Quatre as he came in. He kissed her cheek then introduced his handsome friend to her. "This is Carlos, I hope you don't mind that I brought him, but I thought it would be a great idea if he was your date."
Relena smiled at the young man. "Oh, it's okay, Quatre. I'm sure Carlos and I will become great friends tonight," she said and introduced her self. "You guys want anything to drink? Hilde isn't ready yet and I'm helping her get ready." She let them to the kitchen and said, "Quatre, feel right at home. Get something to drink or whatever while Hilde gets ready. I'm gonna go help her, okay?"
"Yeah."
Once Relena was inside Hilde's room she gave a squeal of delight. "Oh you should see this guy, Hilde!" She let out a gush of air. "He's so hot!"
"Who are you talking about? Isn't Quatre here yet?" Hilde asked her friend who was almost doing back flips in the bedroom.
Relena gave a shaky sigh and looked at her friend with a deadly serious expression before saying, "Oh yes, he's here. And he brought his friend, for me," she said quietly.
"So I get Quatre as my date?" she asked smiling.
Relena merely nodded. Too entranced on Carlos.
Hilde laughed. "Are you okay?"
Sigh. "I'm fine. I'm more than fine, I got one hot looking man waiting out there for me!"
"Calm down! I don't want you to spontaneously combust in my room before my party!" she said laughing.
"Sorry, but you know. It's been a while. Okay, let's get you ready for that party!"
Five minutes later they came out of the room. Quatre's eyes bugged out when he saw Hilde. He hadn't see her new look so he was very surprised. She was dressed all in black. Her black hair complementing her clothes perfectly. It was styled in little ringlets that fell to her shoulders. Effectively making it a lot shorter than it really was. Relena and Hilde had chosen black eye shadow to go with her clothes.
"I like it," Quatre said quietly. Regaining his senses. "Pretty gothic," he said a little louder.
"You don't think I should change into the red tube do you?" she asked a little unnerved by his appreciating gaze. She wasn't used to men looking at her so intensely.
"You look great," said Carlos' in a slightly accented, sensuous voice. He turned to Relena and smiled, "You look gorgeous, Relena."
She smiled and took his arm. "Let's get goin'!" she exclaimed.
All four of them exited the condo. The limo driver opened the door for them, both girls entered first. When all for of them were seated, the limo driver drove off to Club Satire.
tbc...
AN: I know it's short, but I spend the day with my boyfriend. He's so sweet and we don't get to see each other much outside of school. We both work during the weekend and we had today off.
