The drive down to the new Hall wasn't long, and before they knew it, the five boys were piling out of the car. Duo pushed his cap back, grinning as he looked around. "Wow, but they've made some improvements!"
"Of course. It's beautiful, isn't it?" They turned around, startled by the feminine voice. Heero could feel his heart start to hammer again as he gazed into the eyes of Relena Peacecraft. She smiled at him. "Hello." Goosebumps crawled up his arm.
"Hello." His voice was the usual monotone, but he knew she knew he was nervous. It really wasn't too hard to tell.
Relena's smile seemed to broaden. "You're early, you know. The convention doesn't start until 2."
Quatre nodded. "We know. I just had a few things to talk to you about, and so we all came here early." He glanced at Duo. "Besides, Duo wanted to look over the new installments."
"Of course." Relena nodded her head regally. "If you'd like, I could have someone show you around. They've already given me a tour…quite impressive."
Duo grinned. "Yeah, that sounds great!" He turned to his right. "Doesn't it, Wu-man?"
Wufei scowled at him. "Don't call me 'Wu-man', and no it doesn't."
Duo made a face. "You…you…" He sputtered unsuccessfully for a few seconds, and then finally gave up. "You Wu-man, you." Wufei glared.
Quatre, getting rather amused, decided to break up the 'fight' before anything actually happened. "We'd love to, Relena. Thank you so much for the offer."
Relena beamed. "Of course."
"I'm not going." Heero was standing sullenly by himself, a little ways off from the group. Relena looked at him, surprised.
"Why not?" He shrugged. "But don't you want to see the place?" He shrugged again. "You're missing out…"
"Hn." 'There's not much to miss out on, not in this place…' He turned his head, surveying the block. "I'll walk around myself."
A flash of what seemed like anger appeared in Relena's eyes, but quickly faded as she smiled again. "Alright, Heero. Whatever you'd like." He narrowed his eyes. He was getting a strange feeling, though he couldn't place what it was, and it made him wary. She smiled again. "Then we'll be going now. Be sure to get to the hall on time!" She turned around and started walking the other way with the others following.
Then Heero realized what it was. Relena's smile hadn't reached up to her eyes.
