Chapter twelve- It's a Girl's Mission for Man
Duo walked out into the hall fully clothed now. Subconsciously he was aware of being watched as he made his way to class.
He wasn't looking forward to class, especially with Lily. He shuddered at the thought, and glanced around.
He then saw Heero, and Noin standing near the door to his classroom.
He froze, glancing at one figure to the next. His arms unconsciously crossed over his chest. 'Did she tell?' He glanced back and forth again, looking far a sign that they knew. But none of their expressions gave him an answer, or a hint.
He inhaled sharply turned around and started back. But before he could get too far Noin turned him around. Her eyes skimmed him over briefly before she whispered, "you have a new mission."
Duo let out the breath of air he had been holding. His body relaxed, and he felt all tension drain from him body.
Heero joined them. "Lets go."
Duo paled, "What? Where are we going?"
Heero replied, "You and I have a mission."
Duo pouted, "but I don't want to go. I thought this was our mission."
Noin nodded, "Yes we know that. This is the second part of your mission. It's undercover. Relena is attending a ball in two days, on colony L6. Miliardo and I would really like for you and Heero to go with her as bodyguards."
Duo squeaked out, "Why me?" He glanced at both of them and realized they knew something he didn't. "What aren't you telling me?"
Noin shook her head, "No time now Duo. Relena is waiting. Hurry you two."
Heero nodded curtly and began to walk towards the exit of the academy. Duo looked at Noin, "You did this to me didn't you?"
Noin smirked, "Don't worry, and just enjoy the party."
Duo frowned as he went after Heero, his shoulders slumped but he continued on his way.
The limo pulled up to the curb, and engine shut off. It was silent inside, as the driver climbed out and moved to open the door on the side that faced the traffic.
Duo glanced out the tinted windows, "Why are we here?"
Heero glimpsed at Duo then at Relena. He crossed his arms over his chest. The door to the limo opened and all three of them climbed out. Duo scowled, "Tux R Us, Dresses de Bess."
He looked at Relena, a frown fixed upon his face. Relena smiled and led the men by the arms into the store. Duo looked around him in wonder.
The store was new, with polished marble floors that glittered under the bright lights. The store was filled, 100's of people walking with them, or against them, entering the only stores, the side for men, and the side for women.
Relena was pulling them into the women's department. And they stopped near the fitting rooms.
Duo raised an eyebrow, wondering why they would go here first. He shrugged it off, and glanced at all the gowns, cocktail dresses, and even lingerie.
Duo glanced at Heero, his arms were crossed over his chest, and he walked in silence behind Relena.
Duo sighed, but then they stopped at the fitting rooms. Duo glanced around, as saleswomen walked up to them. Heero seated himself in a chair facing the fitting room.
Relena was chatting with salesmen and Duo sighed, sitting down in the chair next to Heero.
Relena turned around and looked at Duo. She smiled, "Duo, I want you to try on a few things that these women will bring back for you."
Duo glanced at them and nodded, "Sure."
He turned back around and rubbed his forehead. He could feel a headache coming on.
Heero glanced at him but grunted in reply to Duo's sigh and crossed his arms over his chest.
Duo glared at Heero but didn't say anything.
Relena then said, "Duo I think I should tell you something."
Duo looked up, "Yea? What's up Relena?"
Relena sighed slowly, rubbing her forehead in frustration. But then she rubbed her hands together, "well, it's about the party on colony L6."
Duo suddenly frowned, but nodded for her to continue.
Relena nodded as well, "We need our bodyguards to blend in. And Heero, is to be my...date." Heero grunted his disapproval but didn't intrude. He new what was going to happen. And thinking about it, brought a smirk to his face.
Relena looked away from Duo, "well people would get suspicious if I brought another man..."
Duo raised an eyebrow, "you want me to wait in the car?"
Relena shook her head, "Oh no... I want you to enjoy the dance as much as Heero and I will. But..."
"You want me to come separate from you two?"
Relena shook her head, "No. I wish it were that simple. But Noin had already came up with a plan, and everyone thinks it will work. I'm not so sure, but...we all think you should go as a girl... a young woman that is."
Duo stared at Relena, his mouth slightly ajar. Heero and Relena were both staring at him waiting. But he wasn't sure what to do. It was just irony of it all, it boggled him into a stupor.
Then he blinked, and realized he had to act up or he might gain suspicion.
He leaped from his chair, "You want me to WHAT!!" He glanced from Heero to Relena, "There ain't no way in hell you can get me there in a dress, or even as a girl. A man has his pride you know."
Relena raised her hands to calm him down, "I'm sorry Duo. But it has been decided. It will only be for a few hours. And you already have long hair."
Duo wailed, "Why can't Heero go as a girl too then?!?"
Relena gagged, "No. I have to have a date. And Heero jumped for the idea."
Duo whirled around in surprise and stared at Heero. But then he realized why the perfect soldier did jump for the opportunity; he didn't want to go as a girl.
Duo's nostril flared, "this is a total blow to my ego and self esteem. I'll need therapy, or I'll go crazy. Or either I'll go psycho and kill you all. Wufei first of course. Man he never let this go."
His bottom lip trembled, "I don't wanna go!"
Relena sighed and fell into the chair next to Heero. She was relieved when the women came back with a wide selection. They led Duo into the fitting room.
Heero was smirking the whole time they were waiting. He wanted to see the braided pilot in a dress. He was supposed to get a photo for Wufei. So that way they could post it in the academy's paper. It would be great.
They had to wait for over an hour in the chairs. Heero didn't mind since after Duo, it was him. And he wasn't really willing to get in a tux.
The party was in two days. They day they arrive at the colony will give them four hours to get ready.
The party was a big event, one of the leader's birthday. And that's why they were going. To keep peace meant you had to interact with everyone.
Heero looked up at the large clock above the fitting room's door. It was getting late, and if they didn't hurry, they would miss their shuttle.
Relena had the same idea, for the passed twenty minutes she two kept glancing at the clock.
"Come on. We'll go get you tux, while he's in there."
They stood and walked out of the women department, heading over to the men's.
Just then Duo came running out, "Guys this isn't funny anymore. I have tried on at least fifty dresses. I can't take anymore."
Duo paused and looked around, "Guys?"
The woman behind the counter near the fitting room stated, "they went to the men's department to get the young lad's tux. Try the fitting room over there."
Duo nodded gratefully and rushed out of the women department and hurried to the men's.
He glanced around and tried stepping on his tipsy toes to see. Then he spotted Relena in a chair at the far end of the department store. Duo literally sprinted down the aisle to get to her.
"Relena I quit!"
Relena turned and glanced at Duo. "Duo? Is that you?"
Duo scowled, "Yea duh who else? I can't take this anymore. I am a man, and I demand that everyone sees me as one."
He placed his hands on his hips. "You don't look so manly to me."
Duo gapped, "what?" Relena pointed to the mirror. Duo turned and studied himself. He almost screamed, but it died in his throat. It had been a long time since he saw himself as her. Being a man was hard, you had to act sleazy and dirty, and it had been such a long time. It surprised him to see himself there in the mirror.
He was dressed in a double strapped, feathery collar bodice. the skirt flared from his waist to his knees. Bunches of fabric scrunched together from one hip and the other connected together, seeming like it was a connected scarf loosely tied at the waist. With the padded bra on, no straps, it made him look like he had large breasts.
The black dress went well with his tanned skin, and dark chestnut hair. The ladies had forced him to clip on some silver hoop earrings, making him look more female than the dress did.
Duo licked his lips, "Oh my god." Relena came up behind him, "I like it."
Duo continued to stare in wonder at his body. But then in the reflection, Duo saw Heero, in a black tuxedo staring at him, his face in complete shock.
Duo walked out into the hall fully clothed now. Subconsciously he was aware of being watched as he made his way to class.
He wasn't looking forward to class, especially with Lily. He shuddered at the thought, and glanced around.
