Michiki's note: This fic is beginning to find no end.*huge anime sweatdrop*
Part 13
The first thing that Chardae does as soon as she gets home is call Michiki and tell her how Zechs asked her out.
"Girl, let me teeeeeell you! I was so surprised." Chardae continues.
"So, where exactly is he taking you?" Michiki wonders.
"I don't know yet, he said it would be a surprise," Chardae answers.
"Well, I wish you the best of luck that you won't trip or fall or klutz-out," Michiki teases.
"Don't you jinx me!" Chardae complains.
"Whatever you say," Michiki muses.
Soon, a knock at the door is heard.
"What the?" Chardae looks through the window. "Zechs is here!?"
"It's already six, Chardae!" Michiki says on the other line.
"Damn it, Michiki!" Chardae exclaims. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I just checked now, how do you expect me to be the timekeeper when you talk so much?"
Chardae does not get to hear Michiki's last sentence."Chardae? Are you still there?" Chardae runs around her house in an attempt to get dressed before answering the door.
"HOLD ON!" Chardae yells at the door. "I'm coming already!"
Chardae manages to slip a shoe on one foot, opens the door, and tries to put on the other shoe while greeting Zechs.what ends up happening is that Chardae opens the door, Zechs greets HER and she falls while trying to put on the other shoe in vain.
"Oof!" Chardae cries.
Loud laughter can be heard coming from Chardae's phone.
"I guess I DID jinx you!" Michiki bursts out.
"Shut up!" Chardae shouts while hanging up the phone.
"Did I choose the wrong time?" Zechs asks.
"Oh no no no.it's just that.I," Chardae stammers, "I forgot to ask Michiki about some homework due in two days."
"I see," Zechs contemplates. "Shall we go?"
"U-huh.sure," Chardae sighs dreamily.
Unfortunately, Chardae ends up returning to her home to changes once more.she did not notice earlier how Zechs was wearing a suit. Thus, she must change into an evening dress before they finally leave on their date.
Zechs takes Chardae to a play. Zechs received tickets on the front row. Chardae and Zechs look elegant and refined. So, Hilde and Wufei (who are sitting right next to them) do not recognize the two until they sit.
"Chardae-girl?" Hilde asks. "Is that you?"
"HILDE?" Chardae's surprise was too audible.
"Wufei?" Zechs nudges him.
Before the re-united four get a chance to chat, the play begins. The curtains are pulled back. Lights illuminate the stage where a female figure decked in light green is kneeling. The lady stands up and calls for her father. A very recognizable form is seen opening a door and walking up to the lady.Duo.
Michiki, who is two rows in front of Chardae, Zechs, Wufei, and Hilde, puts a hand to her mouth and gasps. She is about to stand up, but Hiryu keeps her seated. Chardae realizes that Michiki is also there and whispers 'MICHIKI!' Michiki sweatdrops and slowly turns her head to see Chardae waving lightly at her in an enthusiastic matter while pointing to Zechs.
Duo, as the father figure of the play, forbids the lady to marry her lover and forces her to marry another suitor, which is Heero with a fake beard. The lady refuses and runs out of stage with her hands covering her face. The play is then on intermission and the audience rushes to the restrooms. Michiki, Chardae, and Hilde gossip as they go to the ladies' room and the guys facefault.
Upon returning, the play continues. In the following scene is of the lady and her lover, which is played by Trowa. They exchange vows and promises. The suitor, however, finds the two and stabs Trowa through the heart. Heero attempts to steal the lady, but she kicks and punches him so that she may be with her lover on the last moments of his life. The lights focus on the two lovers and we realize that the lady is played by none other than Quatre himself!
The two confess of their love for one another and exchange one last kiss before Trowa dies. Quatre gasps and stands up. He dramatically stumbles back with a hand to his heart. He looks glassily around and stumbles dramatically some more. Quatre stops for a moment and looks at the audience. He attempts his part once more of stumbling back dramatically. When nothing happens, Quatre excuses himself to the audience before sneaking backstage. The audience murmurs in wonder, having no clue of what is going on.
Backstage, Quatre is seen interrupting Duo and Heero in the most INTENSE argument they have ever had.
"I SAW her!" Duo whines. "She was with HIM!"
"WHY are you eyeing the girl like a hawk?" Heero argues. "It's HER business, stop being so ridiculously jealous!"
"I CAN'T Heero!" Duo complains. "I feel betrayed somehow."
"How is that?" Heero asks.
Quatre gulps loudly before taking one brave step forward and clearing his throat. When he is ignored, Quatre pops off one of the highheels he was wearing and pops Heero on the side of the head.
"What is WRONG with you two?" Quatre almost yells. "We have a play to finish! You know, in order to get PAID because this is what we DO.'tis our JOB.?"
Heero rubs his head and, as if finally remembering, gets prepared to get back on stage.
"Thank you!" Quatre exclaims.
Quatre goes back to his spot and cordially apologizes to the audience for the interruption. Quatre finishes his dramatic stumble and Heero steps on stage and runs to catch Quatre before he falls to the ground. Heero asks what is wrong with lady Quatre and he only replies "go get my father."
Heero steps offstage for a moment and brings Duo with him. Duo sees Quatre in pain and on the floor. Duo asks how he may save his daughter's life. Quatre says that there is no way for him to live. Duo asks what is Quatre's illness that keeps him from living. Quatre replies "I'm dying of a broken heart."
The lights go out and a blue light rests on Duo. Duo explains that the human heart is such a fragile thing that it truly IS possible for one to die of a broken heart. Duo bows. The curtains close. The audience applauds.
Michiki, Chardae, Hiryu, Wufei, Zechs, and Hilde sneak backstage to congratulate the boys personally. Michiki and Chardae squint closely at Quatre."It's Quatre!" The two look away flustered when the others stared at them.
When the group is done talking, Hiryu asks to walk Michiki home, since her house is nearby. Michiki is about to consider when Duo's pent-up anger unfurls upon Hiryu.
"Look, you can be a decent pal when you want to be," Duo points at Hiryu. "But-you-are-just-not-right-for-her!"
Chardae puts a hand to her mouth."Oh my god." she looks towards Heero." uh oh."
Michiki takes a couple of steps back and runs behind Chardae."I didn't do it!"
"You are just jealous that I got to her first," Hiryu states calmly. "The effort she puts in keeping away from you is quite an achievement, may I add."
"That's only because she's stark afraid of Heero Yuy!" Duo yells out without thinking.
Michiki's head pops out from behind Chardae. Tears well up in her eyes and she runs out crying.
"Michiki, wait!" Chardae calls out before turning to Hiryu and Duo. "Look what you did, you idiots!"
"This is all your fault," Duo glares at Hiryu before running after Michiki.
Outside, it is raining cats and dogs. One of Michiki's heels gives way.
"Damn it!" Michiki exclaims as she kicks off the shoe. She continues to run with Duo not so far behind her.
"Michiki!" Duo yells after her. "I didn't mean it!"
"Fuck you!" Michiki shouts and runs faster until she finally trips and falls, scrapping her knee. "Shit!"
Duo catches up to Michiki. He kneels in front of her and grabs her leg.
"HEY!" Michiki shouts while kicking Duo with her other leg.
Duo averts the kick and inspects the wound anyway. After assuring himself that the cut is nothing to worry about, Duo looks at Michiki with an apologetic look in his eyes.
Michiki looks away, not bearing to look at the drenched Duo {note from Chardae: Do you know how cute he would look?}. After a few moments of not talking, Michiki looks into deep amethyst eyes and feels guilty.
"Listen, Duo.I know that you and Heero are in love but you two just don't know it yet! I also know why you are so jealous of guys around me. You love me, but you have to realize that it's not the same love! You watch over me like a protective brother.but your true love lies within Heero Yuy."
Duo looks at Michiki when a lightbulb suddenly goes off in his head and he understands. He helps Michiki up.
"BUT," Michiki adds. "That does NOT mean that I have been avoiding Heero out of fear! I've just been trying to give you two the privacy you deserve."
Duo hugs Michiki and she slowly walks away. With one last look at the momentary wise Michiki as she crosses the street; Duo begins to head back. After taking a few more steps, the sound of a tumble, a curse, and an upset Michiki fall echoes around the atmosphere.
Duo smiles as he walks away.

Zechs and Chardae are found in front of Chardae's house saying their departures.
"Thank you for the night out to the play, Zechs," Chardae says. "Trust me, it was a night to remember." Chardae adds as she sweatdrops.
"I'm glad you enjoyed the play as much as I did," Zechs replies. "I'm sure we will see another play like that once again."
"Well, I'm going to go and catch some Z's now." Chardae turns to enter her home when Zechs lightly grabs her elbow and turns her around. Chardae is startled only to be even more shocked when soft and warm lips were pressed against her own. Chardae almost melts in Zech's' arms.
"Good night," Zechs whispers with a smile before leaving.]
"Good night," Chardae waves at Zechs before running inside the house and calling Michiki.
"Oh my God, girl!" Chardae begins. "You wouldn't BELIEVE what just happened."
