^An hour later^ *Wufei's Pov*
I pulled up in my black Camaro and saw Duo sitting on his car smokin some weed.
"Hey Duo come on! We don't have much time before Rei's silly sleep over! "
"Yeah Yeah.''
He jumped off his car and flicked the joint into the trash can.
*I wish I could do that instead of missing it all the time*
Duo jumped in and we drove off.
"So what should we do in such little time?"
"Hey lets see how Heero's doing."
When I stopped at the red light and looked at Duo, he looked like he was going to jump out of the car.
"What's wrong with that… you know you two have to make-up sometime cause you two are going to have to sleep in the same house."
"I know"
"So let's just drop by and say hi… ok?"
"O.k."
So we drove up to Heero's work and got out of the car… well I did anyway, as for Duo, he just sat there, so I had to walk to the other side of the car and drag him out.
Once I got out of the car, I heard laughing.
I turned around to see who it was… it was Heero.
*Heero laughing?!... he must be sick*
"Can we go now?" Duo whined.
"No Duo we can't."
*I wonder what he's so afraid of*
"Duo don't worry. I'm going to be with you ok?"
He looked at me and smiled, "O.k."
When he built enough courage, we walked toward Heero.
