A sleek black limousine cruised through the spacious palm tree lined roads; huge mansions set comfortably on each side. People strolled by, staring at the tinted windows, hoping to catch a glimpse of some famous celebrity or other.
Inside the car, a young boy sat casually on the greasy black leather. A silky chestnut braid fell past his shoulder to the edge of the seat, long bangs framing his heart-shaped alabaster face. Shades rested loosely on his nose, hiding bright cobalt eyes dancing in excitement. Dressed in black carpenter pants, his usual priest's garb and collar, and a black leather jacket, Duo Maxwell looked every bit like seductive Death he should have.
Right now he drummed his fingers impatiently on the armrest, a long stemmed glass goblet filled with white wine in his other hand. He took a sip anxiously, and muttered, "Can't we go any faster?"
The driver turned around to give Duo a reassuring smile. "Relax, we'll be there soon. Its not like he'll be gone by the time we get there." His one visible eye, an intense emerald green, twinkled in amusement – the only emotion detectable in his unibang half-veiled face.
Shrugging, Duo poured himself more wine. "As long as we get there soon. I'm gonna burst just waitin'!"
~*~*~*~*~
Heero and Quatre strolled under one of the huge, shady lots of willows that covered the campus, conversing quietly about school, how annoying Relena was, their fellow gundam pilots, how annoying Relena was, did I mention how annoying Relena was?
As they stepped out from beneath the tree into the concrete courtyard – which connected the parking lot to the campus – a long black limousine smoothly cruised to a stop a mere 12 yards away. Students paused what they were doing to watch in silence as the door slowly clicked open.
A black booted foot stepped out, followed by another, and the students gaped open-mouthed at the fey that stepped out. His eyes fell on Heero, watching uninterestedly, and smirked.
Relena caught sight of Heero as soon as he and Quatre stepped out from the shadows of the willow. A smile on her face, she rushed forward, yelling, "Heero! I'm right here!" and was about to wave her hand, when a black blur whooshed past and jump-tackled Heero.
"Aungh!" Heero grunted as he fell to the ground with a thud. He looked down, blinking, at a cheekily grinning Duo, whose sunglasses had fallen to the ground. He blinked again, and suddenly realized Duo was holding him *tightly* Can't… breath…!
"Hi-ya Heero! Miss me?" Not waiting for an answer, Duo buried his face in Heero's warm, muscular chest. Heero tried and failed miserably to glare at him, and could only growl, "Get… off…!"
Still grinning, Duo leapt off him, and grumbling, Heero got up. As a smiling Quatre gave Duo back his sunglasses, Duo jumped on him, giving the poor Arabian boy a huge bear hug. "Hey Quatre! Good ta see ya!"
Smiling, Quatre replied – as soon as Duo released him, of course – "Good to see you too!" He opened his mouth to say more, when the driver's door opened, and a tall, lanky figure stood up. He turned, smiling, and with a gasp, Quatre ran toward him. Trowa threw his driver's cap off and held Quatre tightly in his arms, as if he would never let go.
Duo watched the couple happily, hands in his pockets. Relena watched on, wide-eyed, a feeling of jealousy, anger, hatred, slowly filling her body. Not because of Trowa and Quatre - because of how intimate and casual Duo and Heero seemed to be, because of how Duo had greeted Heero and how he didn't seem to mind, because of the way Heero was looking at Duo right now. She turned to look at Duo, grinning like an idiot, and slowly, her mind began to plot.
(A/N: whoa… the making of Relena the Stalker! O_o)
~*~*~*~*~
Relena sat at her window seat, staring out at the lush campus garden. Heero, Duo, Quatre, and Trowa were having a picnic, and it seemed they were enjoying it very much.
"Oh Jesus! Wufei got all upset when I used up all the hot water 'for the fifth time Maxwell! This is an injustice!'" Duo and Quatre fell over laughing, while Heero sniggered and Trowa smiled.
The girl at the window sighed, and gazed at Heero dreamily. She was so lost in her own little world (i.e. Heero serenading her under this very window, Heero blowing her a kiss, Heero Heero Heero) that she didn't hear the soft click of the door closing.
Dorothy padded up behind her, staring at what seemed to hold Relena's rapturous gaze. Her sugary voice broke the silence. "He's quite a looker, Ms. Relena."
Relena started, and glanced up at the other girl. Trying to look indifferent, she shrugged and got up from the window. "Oh, he's alright." she replied airily. Dorothy smirked, and sat down on one of the hot pink plush sofa chairs opposite of Relena. Leaning in, she spoke smoothly.
"Why don't you… learn his schedule? Find out what he likes doing. Talk to him! I'm sure he'll be quite interested in *you*, Ms. Relena."
Relena looked over Dorothy's face carefully, looking for a slip of reason as to why she was suggesting this. Finding none, she sighed, and agreed.
~*~*~*~*~
A couple of days later Dorothy walked into Relena's room and stared wide-eyed. The room was full of pictures of Heero: Heero eating, drinking, smiling, frowning, shrugging, scowling, swimming… they were endless! Random cameras were strewn all over the floor, as well as copies of Heero's schedule, lists of Heero's favorite foods, sports, etc.
Dorothy looked around in surprise, before breaking into laughter. "This isn't what I meant Ms. Relena…" The amusement in her voice weakened, and she stared intensely at a particularly good picture of Heero, a strange look in her eyes. "Heero Yuy…" she murmured under her breath, and smirked maliciously.
~*~*~*~*~
Taking a deep breath, Relena poised herself to knock on door #0102, labeled "Yuy, Heero." Her confidence failed, and she blew out her breath silently. Preparing herself, she recited, "Heero, I was wondering if you could come to a swimming party I'll be holding at my house… oh, is that too direct and casual? Heero, I cordially invite you to a swimming party at my house… oh goodness, I'll just say something, anything!"
Straightening up, she got ready to open the door when it was flung wide open and a young boy walked out, yelling, "Hey Heero, I'm goin to the market, want somethin? No? 'Kays!" He turned around just in time to stop from colliding into Relena and stared in confusion.
She stared at his puzzled indigo orbs, speechless in shock. What was *Duo* doing in *Heero*'s dorm room? This… can't be… He must be visiting. Just… visiting… Lost in thought and self-reassuring, Relena paid no attention to a worried Duo.
~*~*~*~*~
Duo flung the door wide open as he yelled over his shoulder, "Hey Heero, I'm goin to the market, want somethin?" Heero shook his head as he typed furiously away at his laptop, and Duo shrugged. "No? 'Kays!" He turned around and froze, just in time to stop from colliding into a wide-eyed, motionless girl.
Puzzled, Duo cocked his head, but the baffled expression on his face melted into his cheerful trademark grin. "Hey pretty girl!"
(A/N: GAG GAG HACK HACK COUGH! ::shudders violently:: Relena is anything but pretty, but Duo is a player, so… ^^U)
Relena crashed back to reality when Heero's face came into view as he craned his neck back to see who was at the door. Blinking, Relena managed to mumble, "May I speak to Heero please?"
Shrugging, Duo turned back and yelled, "Oi! Heero! Some girl is here for ya!" Winking, he sauntered off, braid swinging back and forth.
Sullenly, Heero stepped up to the door, and scowled, "What do you want."
Relena smiled dreamily, and sighed, "Heero…" Noticing the blank look on his face, she hurriedly continued. "I was wondering if you could come to a swimming party I'm holding at my house… Everyone at the academy is invited… your friends too…"
He opened his mouth to growl a "No!" when he realized some of his friends might like to go. Settling on a "Maybe," Heero closed the door and padded back to his computer, forgetting all about it.
~*~*~*~*~
Humming cheerfully, Relena looked through endless racks of skimpy swimsuits. Dorothy, sitting on a red leather chair, boredly flipped through "Magazines of War: For the Not So Sweet Little Girls." until eventually looking through some of the racks herself.
"Dorothy, what do you think of this one?" Relena held up a hot pink bikini piece expectantly. Dorothy barely managed to hold back a look of pure disgust and nodded. "It *is* your favorite color! I'm sure it will attract Heero's attention!"
Blushing, Relena laid in on the chair and replied, "What do you mean? I just outgrew my old swimsuit, that's all." Dorothy merely smirked as Relena purchased the suit and left the store. The smirk stayed as they left the mall, and was still there when they arrived back at the academy – but of course, for a different, more wicked reason…
A/N: ooh, cliffhanger… sort of. lol. Anyway, see ya in the next chapter!
