Chapter 15

"How do you feel today?" Lina asked cheerfully as
Relena opened her eyes.
Relena only mumbled something and turned over.
Lina suddenly opened up the curtains allowing all of
the sunlight to pour into the room.
"Close the blinds right now." Relena ordered as the
bright light blinded her eyes. Seeing that Lina wasn't
doing anything of the sort she added. "That's an
order!"
Ignoring Relena, Lina pulled the covers off the bed.
"Hey!" she introjected. "I need my beauty sleep!"
"You're pretty enough already." she stated with a hint
of jealiously in her voice that she quickly brushed off.
"It's 7:30, I'm going back to bed." She buried her head
under the pillow.
"You used to wake up at 6 remember?" Lina reminded.
"I'm on vacation remember?" she contridicted trying her
hardest to get Lina to understand.
"Maybe, but today you're on a mission." Lina winked
even though Relena couldn't see her.
"What kind of mission?" curiousosity got the best of
her and ignoring her body's urgeses to go back to sleep
she slowly got up.
"A suprize mission." she said simply. Seeing Relena
was about to go back to bed she added. "I'll give you a
clue if you get out of bed right now." Seeing that she had
gotten out Lina pushed the light princess into the bathroom.
Relena sighed. "You know I could fire you right now." she
reminded as she leaned up against the door.
"You could." she agreed. "But I know you wouldn't."
"How do you know?" she raised her eyebrow. 'She
always tells me it's unladylike but at least she can't see
me now.'
"First of all it would take a long time the break a new
servant and quite frankly I don't think that you really want
to."
Relena nodded agreeingly. "You're 1 out of 1."
"Second firing me will not get you out of the bathroom."
Relena only had to agree.
"Third, take a shower. You're clue is this. You have to be
well grombed for where we are going."
"I have to be well grombed no matter where you take
me! I'm a princess after all!" Relena said esasperated.
She hardly used that as a reason for anythign but now it
seemed like a good time.
"Fourth, don't raise your eyebrow at me young lady it's
very unladylike." So much for that theory.
"You always say everything I do is unladylike. But we're
in the middle of a war here. Don't you think that even the
princess is allowed to look sloppy every now and then?"
"No because a princess can definatly hire someone to
make her beautiful but you don't need someone to make
you beautiful."
"If I don't need someone to make me beautiful then why
do I have to get ready?"
"It's like you have to... just take a shower." Relena smiled
knowing she won something.
*~*
"I'm not going to wear a blindfold." the princess said after
taking a bite from her bagle.
"Agreed. You would look stupid and unladylike. Plus they
are kind of overrated anyway with everything those couples
do." she admitted.
"Are we going to some park?" Relena asked antiously.
"Sorry princess but the answer to that is no. And how many
times have I told you to never show to much emotion towards
anything. People already doubt you because of your young
age if you can do anything, so you don't to prove what they
think is right."
"Well I would kinda like to know." She looked at Lina with
puppy dog eyes.
"What have we talked about?" Lina asked taking another sip
of her coffee.
Relena sighed.
*~*
Hilde looked down at her still wet nails. 'Perfect shads
of ice.' She thought and then looked confused at herself.
'Where did that come from?' she asked herself but she
quickly brushed it off before thinking about it.
It would have bothered her a couple of weeks ago but
today she really couldn't have cared less. Well… maybe
she did care a little but was unable to admit to ever
thinking about something so trivial as that.
'A lot has changed.' She reminded herself as she walked
through her empty apartment. Or at least it seemed
empty, it was actually quite bulging at it's sems because
of the new piano she had insited on buying because she
wanted to learn but never actually did, so it sat in the
corner and collected dust. Yet after all that the apartment
gave off a empty feeling.
She walked into the living room and plopped down on
the sofa, looking in the direction of her televison but not
bothering to turn it on, just staring at the dark grey shadow
and empty feeling it gave off. How quick it could change
when turned on. 'Maybe I just need to be turned on.' She
shook her head at ever having such a silly thought, after
all she really wasn't like the televeision was she?
Hilde looked back at her nails like a gold-digger was
attracted to gold. She felt like there was some sort of
magnet forcing her to look at them but it was something
that she wouldn't dare repeat out loud. 'They don't look
funny.' She stated as she turned them so the sun from the
window caught on them. 'It's not a horrible color either.
' Even Hilde being the perfectionist she was couldn't
seem to find anything wrong with them.
She continued to stare at them until the hands 1 foot in
front of her face looked blurry. She could feel hot tears
forming in her eyes but ignored them as if they would go
away. "This whole breakup things got my head mixed
up." She stated trying to find a reason for what she was
feeling.
The tears continued to stay in her eyes not leaving as
if they were clinging to her eyes. "What's wrong with
me?" she cried feeling as if even tears didn't dare
touch her.
*~*
"So when do you thing Mako's coming?" Trowa asked
looking around at his friends and smiling. Dou was
messing around with his napkin making shapes out of it.
Quatra was buzy looking over at the direction of the door
and looking at his watch every 5 minutes worried about
Mako. Wufei was just sitting there with his usual 'Don't-
mess-with-me' look on his face along with a mixture of
annoyment at the whole situation.
Dou looked up from his 'masterpiece' confused. "What
do you mean 'when is Mako coming?' Who the hell is
Mako?"
"You didn't explain it to him." Trowa looked over at
Quatra.
Quatra only shook his head. "I'll go see if Mako's here
or if she's lost outside somewhere."
Trowa nodded. Wufei all together didn't want to be
part of this whole thing.
"So would anyone like to explain Mako to me?" Dou
asked really curios about what was going on. "How
come no one ever told me anything about Mako?"
"Mako is a girl me and Trowa met one night. We
started talking and we've gotten close. Wufei got
introduced into her later. Right Wufei?" he looked
over at his friend for support.
"Well is it Wufei?" Dou asked after Wufei didn't respond.
Dou leaned across the table at Trowa. "What's wrong
with him?" he whispered. Wufei seemed to have
overheard but pretended he didn't curious about what
Trowa would say.
"He's been sore about being betten up by a girl." Trowa
looked over at his friend.
"I did not get beaten by the little weak onna! She's just
a girl!" Wufei couldn't contain his anger anymore.
*~*
"So where exactually are we going?" Relena asked
piering out the window of the limo trying to get any
clue she could be her surrounding. So far nothing.
"It's a suprize, Relena. You are suppose to be
supirzed when we get there." Lina stated a little
annoyed at her friend.
"Yeah, but I don't like waiting." Relena whined she
stopped looking out the window and stared at Lina
instead.
"A princess must learn that not everything she wants
can always come immediatly and must act like an adult
and learn to be patient. Being patient means more than
waiting you know. It also means waiting with out
complaining. Maybe you should try that."
"Please, Lina." she pleaded. "Just one for clue."
"You know my answer." and Relena knew what that
ment, discussion closed and she went back to the window.
*~*
Mako entered the café an unexplainable emotion of pure
happiness came over her. Not that she wanted to know \
she was content enough on having it.
She looked around the café trying to find any sign of her
friends. 'I wonder where they are? Am I early?' she asked
herself once she couldn't find them.
Quatra walked into behind Mako and whispered into her
ear. "Hey." He watched her jump and he smiled.
"Don't do that to me." But none the less she smiled.
"Can I escort a pretty lady to her table?" he offered.
Mako put his arm out which he excepted. "Of course."
She played along.
"We're over there." Quatra pointed to the table after a
couple moments of silence.
Mako nodded. "So over the phone you never told me
what you this was all about." She looked over at him
expecting an answer.
"To invite you to lunch of course." She frowned not getting
the answer she excepted.
"I mean really. Come on you don't expect me to believe
that's the only reason you called. " she reasoned with
him.
Quatra sighed. "Actually we wanted to you to meet
someone."
Mako looked over at the table across the room and
noticed someone else sitting there. Once reconition hit
her she unconsciencly stopped walking.
"What's wrong?" Quatra asked as he felt Mako's arm
tense up.
Mako just stood there for a little while in shock unable
to answer. She finally found her voice after a while and
responded. "Quatra your dead, once I get you alone I
swear you are dead."
"What did I do?" he asked incredibly confused. 'I offered
to take her to the table and suddenly she's mad at me!
What the hell is going on?!'
"You know what you did." She stated simply as if
saying drop it buddy. Seeing that Quatra didn't
understand she chose to answer. "You brought Heero
here even though I told you not to."
"Heero? That's not Heero!" Quatra stated incredibly.
"That's Dou. He just broke up with his old girlfriend
for 4 years."
"Ouch." Mako her face tensing up. "I'm sorry I just
thought…" she trailed off and looked over at her friend.
"It's okay. Dou kinda looks like Heero from behind." He
stated brushing away her concern.
Before Mako could respond Trowa called form from the
table. "Welcome." He waved his hand even though \
Quatra was leading her.
"Thank you for inviting me." Mako stated as Quatra
pulled a chair out for her between Dou and Wufei.
"Just what I would expect." Wufei muttered but not soft
enough.
"What was that?" Mako laughed a little nervous.
"It's a complement." Wufei stated also a little
embarrassed that she actually caught it. He looked like
a 6 year old boy who just caught his hand in the cookie
jar. 'But he does look kinda cute that way.'
"Since when do you mutter complements? Your weird."
Mako made a face.
"What about you Miss. Generals daughter?" he
countered.
'This is not going so well maybe Wufei was right about
introducing people.' Quatra thought. "Dou this is Mako."
He pointed over at Mako. "Mako this is Dou." He
pointed over at Dou.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Mako responded looking
Dou over for the first time. 'He's kinda cute but he
doesn't look as cute Heero. He seems nice though.'
"Likewise." Her stated pulling his attention over to the
menu and looking it over. "A generals daughter.' He
repeated. 'I guess that's not so bad just as long as she's
on our team.' He shrugged. 'What am I thinking? Trowa
has enough since not to befriend someone on the
opposite side.'
"Aren't you going to counter me weak onna?" Wufei
teased enjoying himself.
"Depends on if you want me to counter you or not." Mako
smiled at him in a fake sweet smile.
"Hmm." Wufei thought about it for a while. "Counter me."
He replied challenging her.
"Ok." She agreed. "So… How are you doing Dou?" she
turned completely ignoring Wufei.
"Aren't you going to counter me?" Wufei taped on her
shoulder.
"What do you call this? You want to fight and I'm not
fighting with you." She smiled triumphantly.
'Point for Mako.' Dou smiled enjoying himself. 'Maybe if
she helps out with Wufei, I'll get used to her.'
"Don't start with me Maxwell." Wufei stated angrily
knowing by the twinkle in his eye Dou was up to
something.
"I didn't say anything… Wu-man." He laughed.
"You know how much I hate being called that!" Wufei
practicly had smoke fuming out of his ears. He knew
half the resteraunt was staring at him but he really didn't
care.
"Why else would I do that?" Dou was obviously enjoying
himself. He looked over at Mako and smiled, Mako
smiling back.
"Don't you hate it when you get left out of something?"
Quatra whispered to his friend.
Trowa reached over and took another sip of his drink
what he had been doing practicly the whole time. "They
are being weird and immature and I have no intention
to join in." Trowa stated.
"Come on Trowa live a little mister Ticket-Stealer."
He patted him on the back.
"We've been through this before. I did not steal them."
"Yeah sure." Quatra said not believing a single word of it.
"This is so embaresing." He added looking over at Dou
and Wufei's death glare contest. Mako was just sitting in
between them leaning back on her chair enjoying the
show. He put his head down on the table.
"Yeah it is. Hopefully the managers don't throw us out
on our buts." Trowa joked.
"They'll throw us out?" Quata seemed worried and he took
his head off the table. "I know that everyone is looking at
us and all but throw us out? You guys stop it!" he yelled
at Wufei, Dou and Mako.
"I was joking Quatra." Trowa laughed a little.
"If you were only joking then we can go back to our
fight." Mako stated.
"Were do you get that?" Dou asked confused.
"Do you honestly care?" she asked him in return. He
shook his head. "I didn't think so."
"Don't go back to your fight. We will get kicked out of this
resteraunt."
"They willn't kick us out." Trowa reminded.
"Yeah, Quatra so be quiet." Wufei laughed rudefully.
"But they will make it so we can't come back ever."
Trowa admitted.
"ALL OF YOU STOP IT!" Quatra yelled annoyed. "Dou
stop calling Wufei, Wu-man. Wufei stop making it worse.
Mako don't incurage them. And Trowa stop scaring me."
They all seemed to understand as Dou put a different
look on his face. "But we did beat him didn't we?" Dou
looked over at Mako and gave her a high five.
"They seem to be hitting it off well." Quatra stated
looking over at Trowa.
Trowa nodded.
"Secrets, Secrets are no fun unless they're shared with
everyone." Mako recited an old clique.
"I told Trowa that maybe you should give her your phone
number and you could talk and hang out sometime."
Quatra explained.
Dou looked at Quatra, Trowa, Wufei and even Mako in
confusion. Suddenly all the pieces of the puzzle seemed
to be falling into place and Dou became angry at the big
picture. "I get it. You're trying to set me up with her aren't
you." He pointed over at Mako. "I'm sorry but it isn't going
to work. I love Hilde, I always had and I always will and no
amount of you trying to set me up on a date is going to
help any." And with that he got up and left the café.
"That didn't go as planned." Trowa stated after words
entered his mouth.
"I'm sorry for causing all of this." Mako stated remorsfully.
"It's all my fault."
"No it isn't." Wufei butted in. "We invited you in the first
place."
"He's going to be mad for a while isn't he?" Mako watched
them nodd. "I want to explain to him it's all a big miss
understanding. Now where do you think he went?"
They all thought it over for a little bit. "He could possibly
go somewhere to be alone at a park or something." Quatra
offered.
"I disagree. He could go somewhere to be alone but first he
would go home to get his car to drive around like he usually
does." Trowa reasoned.
"I agree with Trowa." Wufei stated putting in his 2 cents
"So. I guess we're going home huh?" Mako asked as she
got up and was getting ready to leave.
"Wait a minute." Trowa stated. Mako turned around to
look at him. "Aren't you worried about seeing Heero?"
Mako shook her head. "Well… maybe a little but there
are things that are bigger than that that I have to."
*~*
Heero suddenly stopped workign and decided to go
upstairs to eat. He walked to long steep staircase in
silence. 'Wonder where everyone is?' he asked
himself as he opened to door.
'It seems like these days no one is home lately.
Maybe it's just because they've all developed lives
and I don't have one.' he stated bitterly.

"How do you feel today?" Lina asked cheerfully as

What the hell is going on?!'
"You know what you did." She stated simply as if

here even though I told you not to."
"Heero? That's not Heero!" Quatra stated incredibly.
"That's Dou. He just broke up with his old girlfriend
for 4 years."
"Ouch." Mako her face tensing up. "I'm sorry I just

countered.
'This is not going so well maybe Wufei was right about
introducing people.' Quatra thought. "Dou this is Mako."
He pointed over at Mako. "Mako this is Dou." He
pointed over at Dou.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Mako responded looking
Dou over for the first time. 'He's kinda cute but he
doesn't look as cute Heero. He seems nice though.'
"Likewise." Her stated pulling his attention over to the

"Aren't you going to counter me weak onna?" Wufei
teased enjoying himself.
"Depends on if you want me to counter you or not." Mako
smiled at him in a fake sweet smile.
"Hmm." Wufei thought about it for a while. "Counter me."
He replied challenging her.
"Ok." She agreed. "So… How are you doing Dou?" she
turned completely ignoring Wufei.
"Aren't you going to counter me?" Wufei taped on her
shoulder.
"What do you call this? You want to fight and I'm not
fighting with you." She smiled triumphantly.
'Point for Mako.' Dou smiled enjoying himself. 'Maybe if
she helps out with Wufei, I'll get used to her.'
"Don't start with me Maxwell." Wufei stated angrily
knowing by the twinkle in his eye Dou was up to
something.
"I didn't say anything… Wu-man." He laughed.
"You know how much I hate being called that!" Wufei
practicly had smoke fuming out of his ears. He knew
half the resteraunt was staring at him but he really didn't
care.
"Why else would I do that?" Dou was obviously enjoying
himself. He looked over at Mako and smiled, Mako
smiling back.
"Don't you hate it when you get left out of something?"
Quatra whispered to his friend.
Trowa reached over and took another sip of his drink
what he had been doing practicly the whole time. "They
are being weird and immature and I have no intention
to join in." Trowa stated.
"Come on Trowa live a little mister Ticket-Stealer."
He patted him on the back.
"We've been through this before. I did not steal them."
"Yeah sure." Quatra said not believing a single word of it.
"This is so embaresing." He added looking over at Dou
and Wufei's death glare contest. Mako was just sitting in
between them leaning back on her chair enjoying the
show. He put his head down on the table.
"Yeah it is. Hopefully the managers don't throw us out
on our buts." Trowa joked.
"They'll throw us out?" Quata seemed worried and he took
his head off the table. "I know that everyone is looking at
us and all but throw us out? You guys stop it!" he yelled
at Wufei, Dou and Mako.
"I was joking Quatra." Trowa laughed a little.
"If you were only joking then we can go back to our
fight." Mako stated.
"Were do you get that?" Dou asked confused.
"Do you honestly care?" she asked him in return. He
shook his head. "I didn't think so."
"Don't go back to your fight. We will get kicked out of this
resteraunt."
"They willn't kick us out." Trowa reminded.
"Yeah, Quatra so be quiet." Wufei laughed rudefully.
"But they will make it so we can't come back ever."
Trowa admitted.
"ALL OF YOU STOP IT!" Quatra yelled annoyed. "Dou
stop calling Wufei, Wu-man. Wufei stop making it worse.
Mako don't incurage them. And Trowa stop scaring me."
They all seemed to understand as Dou put a different
look on his face. "But we did beat him didn't we?" Dou
looked over at Mako and gave her a high five.
"They seem to be hitting it off well." Quatra stated
looking over at Trowa.
Trowa nodded.
"Secrets, Secrets are no fun unless they're shared with
everyone." Mako recited an old clique.
"I told Trowa that maybe you should give her your phone
number and you could talk and hang out sometime."
Quatra explained.
Dou looked at Quatra, Trowa, Wufei and even Mako in
confusion. Suddenly all the pieces of the puzzle seemed
to be falling into place and Dou became angry at the big
picture. "I get it. You're trying to set me up with her aren't
you." He pointed over at Mako. "I'm sorry but it isn't going
to work. I love Hilde, I always had and I always will and no
amount of you trying to set me up on a date is going to
help any." And with that he got up and left the café.
"That didn't go as planned." Trowa stated after words
entered his mouth.
"I'm sorry for causing all of this." Mako stated remorsfully.
"It's all my fault."
"No it isn't." Wufei butted in. "We invited you in the first
place."
"He's going to be mad for a while isn't he?" Mako watched
them nodd. "I want to explain to him it's all a big miss
understanding. Now where do you think he went?"
They all thought it over for a little bit. "He could possibly
go somewhere to be alone at a park or something." Quatra
offered.
"I disagree. He could go somewhere to be alone but first he
would go home to get his car to drive around like he usually
does." Trowa reasoned.
"I agree with Trowa." Wufei stated putting in his 2 cents
"So. I guess we're going home huh?" Mako asked as she
got up and was getting ready to leave.
"Wait a minute." Trowa stated. Mako turned around to
look at him. "Aren't you worried about seeing Heero?"
Mako shook her head. "Well… maybe a little but there
are things that are bigger than that that I have to."
*~*
Heero suddenly stopped workign and decided to go
upstairs to eat. He walked to long steep staircase in
silence. 'Wonder where everyone is?' he asked
himself as he opened to door.
'It seems like these days no one is home lately.
Maybe it's just because they've all developed lives
and I don't have one.' he stated bitterly.
