Part 12

The next day at school, Michiki, Chardae, and Duo meet up in a hallway to discuss a plan.

"So, who's going to tell Heero?" Michiki asks.

"Why doesn't Duo do it? I mean, you are his best friend/boyfriend thing," Chardae insists.

"Oh no! He'll bite my head off! Who votes that Chardae does it?" Duo says.

Michiki and Duo raise their hand and look at Chardae. With a sigh Chardae gives up and agrees to tell Heero.maybe.

In Chemistry, Chardae scribbles something down on a sheet of paper and throws it at Heero. The note bounces off his head and Heero picks it up, then throws it away.

'Damn it Heero! Oh well I tried! I guess that counts! I can tell him after class.I hope!' Chardae thinks to herself trying to focus back on the test in front of her.

To Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei:

"What do you plan on getting Hilde?" Quatre questions Wufei.

Wufei looks at Quatre, then looks at the TV and looks back at Quatre.

"It's somewhere under Duo's stuff in my apartment." Wufei tells Trowa and Quatre with a grunt. Wufei deciding that he can't handle another minute of the Cleo video, he puts his head down and falls asleep.

~*~

That afternoon, we see that Chardae, Duo, and Michiki have set up Heero's abode for the party. Soon, the guests arrive. Minute by minute, Heero's abode is full to the max.

A knock is heard at the door and everyone hides. Someone opens the door and everyone yells "SURPRISE!" only to find that it's only Heero. Heero stares at the inside of his home.full of all these people.

"Wh-what is going on here." he stammers.

Duo and Michiki eye Chardae.

"How well you've told him, Chardae!" Duo and Michiki growl sarcastically.

"Who's bright idea was it to throw Hilde's party in MY home?" Heero rumbles impatiently.

Duo points at Chardae who points at Michiki who is pointing back at Duo.

Heero, however, does not get to finish his threats when another knock at the door is heard.

Everyone hides once more while Heero goes and gets the door.

"What are you doing here?" Heero mumbles at Wufei.

"I-am-here-to-get-the-stuff-I-left," Wufei tells Heero with a cringe. "Re-mem-ber?"

"What things?" Heero asks. "You've never-"

Chardae covers Heero's mouth and saves the day.

"Oh, I'm just here studying bribing Heero to help me with my homework," Chardae beams. "Come on in, you two."

As soon as Hilde enters, everyone surprises her.which had her nearly faint unto Wufei.

As soon as Heero gets the chance, he drags Chardae and puts her in a corner.

"Stay right here," he snaps.

Chardae trembles in the corner while Heero manages to drag Michiki and Duo, and corners the trio of mischief and torment.

"You three owe me, and you owe me BIG." Heero threatens as Chardae, Michiki, and Duo, quiver in fear.

So, for the next couple of days, Chardae, Michiki, AND Duo are seen acting exceptionally nice towards Heero.

~*~

The next day:

Duo and Heero sit in class when Hiryu walks through the door to take his seat in the back. Duo's fist clenches menacingly as he begins to stand up, but Heero holds one of his wrists.

"Don't start anything drastic," Heero mumbles.

"Don't worry," Duo says with a smirk. "I'm just going to have a nice chat with Hiryu back there, 'tis all."

Duo goes to Hiryu and slams both hands on his desk.

"Would you care to tell me why the hell you DARED to cut my braid!" Duo bites out, eyes full of flames.

Hiryu trips Duo and puts his grappling hook to Duo's throat.

"Back off. I only did it for Michiki," is the answer that comes from Hiryu.

Duo angrily walks off.

~*~

At lunch, Hiryu gets accepted into the group but not before publicly humiliating Duo. Hiryu gives every girl at the table a gift and receives glares from the other straight guys at lunch. Wufei glares at Hiryu for giving Hilde an exceptional gift. Hiryu and Duo become pals somehow.

Zechs has a problem with Hiryu due to his being a little too friendly with Chardae.or so Zechs thinks (Hiryu is VERY polite and VERY friendly with women but is ruthless to guys). In reality, Hiryu's only intention is to get on the better side of Chardae. Who knows? Chardae might burn down HIRYU'S house as her next target!

Though tentatively believing that he is angering Hiryu, Zechs asks Chardae on a date (it's another MIRACLE!). Hiryu, on the contrary, goes off and gives Michiki a bouquet of...roses...and a box of expensive chocolates. Hiryu asks Michiki out. This angers Duo again. Once again, Hiryu and Duo become enemies.

Noin has a crush on Hiryu and so does Relena (what IS the MATTER with them?). Relena goes after Hiryu in an attempt to make Heero jealous. Heero (thank goodness) is oblivious to this due to the fact that Duo begins to show signs of being exceedingly jealous. On top of that, Heero is in a state of fierce fury since Duo once again proves that Duo's feelings for Michiki are not submerged. Also, Michiki is envious of Heero because Heero does not have Hiryu liking him and because he gets to spend more time with Duo than she can.

Mosiom is jealous of Duo since Heero's attention is mostly focused on Duo and not she. She throws little fake tantrums in an attempt to catch Heero's attention but it doesn't work. {Is it just me, or is everyone jealous in this fic?}

Thankfully, Kodomi, Une, Shane, and Karia are not under that jealous fever that everyone has circling him or her! {Ok, I'm wrong.so sue me!} Karia, Shane, Une, and Kodomi have their hands full trying to figure out the deal with everyone and seeing what possible help they can be to the group.
