sadistic muse thus commands me to..... *sigh *
The rest was history. Highschool flew by. Hiro and Duo fell deeply in love, and were soon a very close couple. Relena had also married her 'true love'. Five years after graduation found her in an expensive, plush house. She had had her first child. He was about one year old. Her husband was at work. Yet again. The man was a workaholic. That was how they afforded so much luxury. She was so lonely. She only had the baby for company.
She wrestled the squirming toddler into the highchair then proceded to feed him mashed green beans. He grinned, took the spoon, and flung it on the wall, along with the mashed carrots. She sighed and turned on the kitchen TV. It just happened to be on MTV. She nearly fell off of her chair in shock. There was one Miss Duo Maxwell on TV, looking just as gorgeous and desireable as ever. Even more bad-assed as she jammed away to a screaming crowd.
Suddenly, Duo seemed a whole lot more desireable than she had back in highschool. Excitedly, she called up Sylvia Noventa.
"Hello?"
"Sylvia, turn on the tv, quick! You'll never believe whose on!"
"Duo Maxwell."
Relena's jaw dropped. "How did you know?"
"She's been pretty big for a while now. Duh. She's playing in town next Saturday."
Relena's eyes bulged and she fainted. After calling Sylvia, she called the rest of her old friends. They were all excited, especially Relena. Duo suddenly wasn't such a turn off. They all bought tickets for her show. Front row ones.
~~~~~~~~~
Relena was so giddy and drunk with anticipation. She bounced up and down on the balls of her feet as she waited with her friends for the show to start. The tour was composed of different bands, but Duo's group was head lining. It was hot, sticky, smelly and crowded, but if she could see Duo, it was worth it. She even hoped that the girl would recognize her and bring her back stage, reminisce about old times, and maybe they could have a new start.
She was brought out of her day dream by Dorothy's sharp elbow. "It's about to start." The crowd hushed as the curtains opened and the first band played. Then they roared and started jumping around, bodies bumping and grinding, as the music got more loud and intense. It was another hour before Duo's band appeared.
By that time, the crowd was rioting and roaring. It was hard to hear the music. The front had several moshpits going. But when Duo's band came up on stage, all hell broke loose. Bodies suddenly shifted foward, pressing against eachother. Relena found herself ground up against the stage.
Duo smiled out at the crowd, taking her position as back up singer/ lead guitar. She wore black boots with silver stars on them, tight, lowrise black flair pants with chains on them, a simple red halter top, a ruby red star in her belly button, spiked choker, spiked wrist cuffs with chains leading to the choker, and her usual piercings. She still only had her eye brow pierced, and her ears had been full of piercings for years now. Her hair hung loose in it's luxurious, thick, natural waves- the only thing she'd added were black and purple streaks.
As her band played, the crowd became even more out of control. It was impossible to hear the music/ lyrics over their ruckus. People body surfed. Girls ripped off their shirts and bras. Duo jammed on her guitar.
Relena was pressed against the wood of the stage, looking up unblinkingly at Duo with new found adoration. Who knew that girl could come so far? The time flew by and soon Duo's band was on their last song. She jumped around on the stage, her chains flying with her. Right after her kick ass guitar solo, she spied Relena looking yearningly after her. Duo smirked. Ah, how the tables had turned.
The last song was ended, and just before the curtain closed, Duo pulled a very handsome young man out of the sidelines, just visible on stage. He immediately wrapped his arms around her, enveloping her in a passionate kiss. The crowd went wild. Relena's jaw dropped. After all this time, he was still with her? Just before the curtain closed, Duo purposefully met Relena's eyes over Hiro's shoulder. Her expression clearly read, "you're loss, sister." Relena pouted. Duo smiled widely. Then the curtain closed, and Relena had her last glimpse of Duo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiro was so happy. After all this time, he still loved Duo. After that highschool party, they had become very close. They had started a band together, but after a while, Hiro had dropped out, finding it wasn't to his liking, and he got offered a really great paying job as a CIA agent. Duo loved the rock star life- it suited her perfectly. She was wild and fun loving. A whirlwind on her own. Hiro wasn't the super star type. But he encouraged Duo, no matter how hard times had become. He had supported her on her hard road to stardom. He was very glad to see her enjoying her hard won success so much.
At first, it had been so hard getting gigs. Duo would come home many nights discouraged, but not dishearted. She never gave up. She went from town to town, state to state, playing in shitty assed clubs and raves until her big break. Which had come, ironically, from Hiro's job. A fellow agent of Hiro's had a sister who was in the music businiess- she was a recruiter for a major record label. Hiro and the other intelligence officer had manipulated and pulled a few strings, and Duo got her audition. She was signed immediately. The band's first record had been recorded, a video made, and tons of dollars spent on promotions. But she contributed her success more to the loyal fans of the band's underground music. And those fans were still loyal. They hadn't felt betrayed by her signing such a deal; though, to be fair, she didn't change the way she played,either. It was all Duo Maxwell, or nothing. She wouldn't change her artistic style for more revenue. She wasn't a sell out. And the fans appreciated that.
Now, Duo was living large and in charge- and enjoying every moment of it. The thing he found so amazing was that she stayed always with him; she was so beautiful, she could've chosen many other men for her boyfriend. But she'd chosen Hiro. And he had never let her down. They were always there for eachother; the best of friends and closest of lovers.
Hiro pulled her close and kissed her fiercely. "I've gotta go now. I'll be waiting at the studio; I'm almost done with that song I promised you I'd write. I think I can get it done tonight." Oh, Hiro also wrote some of the band's songs. He was pretty good at it, too.
Duo smiled and nodded. "I'll be over shortly, soon as I get cleaned up, change and all."
Hiro nodded, then let her go. He turned around and walked away, a smile on his face.
Duo went to her dressing room and found a single red rose on her dresser. The card read: "Duo: From you're biggest fan, since before you even joined a band. I love you." She held the rose to her heart and sighed, "I love you too, Hiro."
