Note: this will be the first time I actually write a second part to something like this.
So don't shoot the author just yet ok? I'm just learning this stuff. BTW: Hessa is not my real name, it comes from Hessonite, a type of gem. I tend to use gem names a lot when I get the chance.
// are thoughts ok?
Duo got up, and walked back to the road. Hoping he would get a ride to that Las Vegas place.
Sticking up his thumb, and putting on his sexiest grin. Thinking to him self,
This will surely get somebody to stop soon.
Duo waited by the road, wile cars zoomed by. None stopped. He waited all afternoon,
And was about to give up when a car stopped.
"Hey there, Handsome, need a ride?"
A Red Convertible stopped next to Duo, Behind the wheel a Brunette with gray eyes and a big smile.
"Yea, I've been standing here all day. Hey Are ya by any chance heading to a place called Las Vegas? Cause that's were I'm headed."
The Brunette opened the passenger door.
"Yea, I'm headed that way. Hop in and I'll give ya a lift."
Duo couldn't believe his luck, so he jumped in the car. And fastened his seatbelt.
"Hi, I'm Duo, Duo Maxwell."
"Well pleased to meet ya Duo, my name is Hessonia, but ma friends call me Hessa. Before ya say another word, I know ma name is unusual, but that's cause ma folks were crazy people."
Hessa Grinned, wile she speed up to join the other traffic on the road.
Duo folded his arms behind his head, enjoying the feeling of cool air rushing past his face. After standing in the middle of nowhere, with the sun burning on ya. You get a bit hot, and this air cooling him down felt like heaven.
"So….Where ya from Duo? I can tell not from around here, since there is nothing around here but road."
Duo laughed about that remark, witch surprised him. It had been a long time since he had laughed. Really laughed, not grinned or smiled, but truly laughed. He decided not to figure out why he had laughed, or why now. Instead he concentrated on the question.
"Well Originally I'm from L2, but right now I'm just wandering. Trying to find a place to call home ya know."
Hessa changed lanes.
"Yea, I get ya. I'm doing the same thing. That's why I'm headed to Las Vegas as well, Gonna try to get a job there and get ma life back together."
Duo noticed a shadow pass over Hessa's face wile she said that. He wondered why.
//She probably lost somebody in the war.//
Duo was about to ask about it, when he saw a sign.
Las Vegas 20mls
"Hey, were almost there."
"Yea, just a few more miles and then a hot shower and a bed. If I had known it would be such a long ride, I'd probably taken a plane there. Instead of driving Miss Daisy there."
"Miss Daisy?"
"The car, I named it Miss Daisy. After a friend of mine."
Another shadow passed over Hessa's face, only this time Duo didn't notice. He was looking up at the sky.
The sun was slowly going down, to make room for the night ahead. And the sky was turning all types of yellow, red, orange, green, and purple.
They sat in silence for the next few miles, till the Lights of Las Vegas came in sight. One of the few City's that hadn't been touched by the war. Well not much anyway. It was still a beacon of light, drawing people from all over to it. Still as magnificent as during its Glory day's before the war.
Duo sighed, he hoped that this place would help him get some cash so he could travel on. Hoping that all the lights would block out that light in his heart called Relena…
