The Prince and the Peasant: Part 8
By: RurouniGirl
By now, Duo was starting to panic. He only had one more day until he was supposed to be getting married.
He sighed. At the moment he was stuck in a council meeting. He was starting to get impatient. 'Why did these things have to take so long? He had better things to do than sit through boring meetings.'
The meeting was finally over and he was the first one out of the room. He hurried down the hall to the kitchen.
"Hey, Quatre."
The blonde looked up and smiled. "Good. You're done. Wufei's been looking for you everywhere."
Duo grinned. "Do you know where he is now?"
Quatre nodded. "Yeah. He's in the weapons room. He's doing some training."
Duo nodded. "Thanks, Quatre."
He headed down to the weapons room. When he walked into the room Wufei was going through some sword techniques. Duo was impressed. He hadn't realized how talented Wufei was when it came to sword fighting.
Wufei stopped as he noticed Duo standing there. He smiled and walked over to Duo.
"Hey, I've been looking for you."
Duo nodded. "I know. Quatre told me. So, why were you looking for me?"
Wufei grinned. Duo wasn't sure what Wufei was up to, but he knew that it had to be something good.
"What? What is it?"
Wufei's grin got even wider. "I've got a plan."
Duo stared at Wufei in shock. Then a grin spread across his face. "You have a plan to get Heero out?"
Wufei nodded. "Yes. But I want Quatre here when I tell it to you. He's a part of it."
Duo nodded. "I'll go get him, then you can tell us the plan."
Duo turned to leave then turned back to Wufei and gave him a hug.
"Thanks Wufei. You're the best friend ever."
With that said, he left to go get Quatre.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The three boys met in Duo's room to go over the plan. Once all three were settled Wufei started.
"Okay, now here's what we're going to do. We have to distract the guard and get the key from him."
He pointed to Quatre. "That's where you come in. You distract him. Say you're bringing food for the prisoners or something like that. Just distract him long enough for us to get the key."
Quatre nodded. "Okay. Got it."
Wufei nodded. "Good. Now, once we have the key I'll get the guard out of the dungeon or at least away from the cell. I'll tell him there's an emergency and king need him."
He looked around to see if that was all right.
"Sounds good so far," Duo said. "After you get rid of the guard, then what."
"You let Heero and Trowa out of the cell and get them out of the dungeon."
Duo nodded. "That's great, Wufei."
Quatre nodded in agreement.
Wufei smiled. "Good, then we have a plan. We'll do it tonight."
The other two boys agreed to meet outside the dungeon that night, and then Duo's room.
Once they were gone, Duo flopped onto his bed. He was so relieved that Wufei had figured something out. He smiled to himself and went to get ready for that night.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"But I was told to bring food down for the two prisoners." Quatre continued to argue with the guard.
Wufei quietly approached from behind. Slowly he reached out, and with a quick move, grabbed the key. He snuck back to where Duo was waited and gave him the key.
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest."
He ran down the corridor toward the guard. He stopped and pretended to catch his breath.
"The king sent me to get you. There's been an emergency. He needs you."
The guard hurriedly ran out of the dungeon. Wufei motioned for Duo to do his part.
Duo hurriedly unlocked the cell and hurried Heero and Trowa down the corridor. Quatre and Wufei followed close behind.
"We're almost out." Duo said.
He came to an abrupt stop. The king and a group of soldiers stood blocking the way. Duo groaned. 'This can't be happening. Not now.'
"Guards. Escort my son back to his room and lock him in. The rest of you, lock these four boys up. I want them guarded carefully. Make sure they don't escape."
The guards did as the king commanded. Duo struggled to get out of their grip, but they refused to let go.
"Heero," he called.
Heero looked back at Duo and smiled. "I love you," he called.
Tears streamed down Duo's face. "I love you too, Heero. I always will."
He tried once again to escape the guards, but it was no use. He finally gave up his struggling and let them lead him to his room. Once he was inside he collapsed onto his bed and began to sob.
