"So... now all I have to do is make my move and she's mine." Duo thought as he lied in his bed, rolling back and forth. He gets up slowly and walks to his bathroom. Fills the sink with cold water and splashes it on his face lightly, then looks in the mirror. "What do I say to her....please sleep with me...right." He quickly makes his way down the hall to her room, and opens the door slowly and walks in closing it, then start to walk towards the bed. He sits at the end of it at looks at her sleeping and reaches up to her face. "Is.. she sleeping naked?.." He thinks as he reaches down for the blanket and starts to pull it back over her skin, with a slight grin, until he feels something hard against his head and the clicking of safety off, on a gun. "What are you doing in here Duo?" Michiko's voice asked as her eyes opened slightly, and grabs the blanket with the other hand, pulling it back up over herself. "Well, I umm...wanted to talk to you." She slowly puts the gun down and sits up with the blanket pulled over her. "And what would that be about?" She questioned as she placed the gun on the night stand. " Well, I wanted to know if you weren't doing anything tomorrow would you like to ..maybe go with me somewhere?" Duo asked, with one of his big grins. She sighs and looks at his face. "Well, I already told Quatre I would do something with him, I'm sorry." Duo stood up quickly and started to the door. "It's fine, but hey we can do something so other time." He said as he opened the door. "Yeah Duo, it would be fine." Duo smiles and leaves the room and heads to Quatre's room walking in quickly and over to the window thinking. "Don't mean to hurt you buddy...but I'm not losing this Bet." He then opened the window and put Quatre's fan next to his bed and turned it on high, and take that blanket off of Quatre and tosses it on the ground and leaves the room slowly.

~*~*~*Next Day*~*~*~

Michiko walks down the hall to Quatre's room quickly and knocks on the door lightly. "Quatre ? " Opens the door slowly and walks in doesn't see Quatre anywhere, looks around and hears something from the Bathroom, walks over and knocks softly on the door. "Quatre, are you in there?" A soft voice replied. "Yes... is that you Michiko?" She opened the door slowly and walked in. "Are you ok?" He stands up from the floor and looks at her. "I'm very sorry but I don't think I should go out today, I'm not feeling very well." Michiko looks over him. "You don't looks so good either, lets get you into bed ok." She then takes his hand and leads him to his bed and gets him in it. "Wonder why you got so sick." Looks over at the window and walks over to it and closes it. "This just might be it." Looks at him, Quatre smiles a little. "Guess I opened that window last night." Shakes her head and walks over to the door. "Hey Michiko, can... we go out some other time?" She looks back at him. "I would be glad too Quatre." Smiles and leaves the room and walks down the hall a little ways. "Hey Michiko?!" Duo runs up behind her, she stops and looks at him. "I thought you were going out with Quatre?" She looks down at the ground. "Well, I was but he's not feeling very well, so.. I'm just going to stay in." Shakes his head. "Why don't we go out shopping?" She looks at him. "Well... I don't know if I should." Grabs her hand and starts to drag her down the stair. "What are you doing?" She said as being dragged down the stairs. "I'm taking you out to have a good time!" Grabs his keys and takes her out to his car and put her in the passenger seat and closes the door and runs around to the other side and gets in. Turns to her and smile and starts the car and drives off quickly.

~*~*~At The Mall~*~*~

"Come on Michiko..this is going to be fun?" Duo said as he leaned over the locked door, she looked up at him and sighed and rolled down the window a tad. "Duo, I don't want to be out in public." Raises a brow at her response. "Why not, I thought that you would like shopping?" Sighs and opens the door slowly and gets out then closes it behind herself. "I do.. I guess we can for a little awhile." Duo smiles at her comment and grabs her hand once again and starts to walk into the mall with her. Michiko looks down at his hand and thinks. "What is he trying to do..." Drags her into a clothing store and starts looking at clothes.

~*~*~Bad Guy If You Can't Tell ^_^;; ~*~*~

"Right... find her.. Why doesn't he get out here and do it himself" Alex thought as he walked around in the same store as Michiko and Duo. "At Least I'm getting in some shopping time in, I need a new suit." Walks around the store.
