A half an hour later and Duo was in the kitchen cleaning up the last of the burnt food. Geez. Who knew I was that bad a cook. Duo glanced around the kitchen and winced. The state the kitchen was in would NOT inspire forgiveness.
"Damn it! What am I going to do?! Usagi's going to kill me! She might even cut off my precious baby," Duo exclaimed, stroking his thigh-length braid. He closed his eyes. He didn't want upset Usagi on their anniversary. Besides the homemade tonic he had taken for the hangover was working wonders. He no longer looked like crap. Duo figured he only had to make up for coming home drunk. After all, with the help of the tonic, there soon would be no evidence of a hangover. He opened he eyes again.
That was when he spied the brochure sticking out from under a placemat on the table. Duo immediately recognized it. It was the menu for that fancy, gourmet pastry shop. With any luck they delivered. They did and Duo ordered a bunch of his wife's favorites. The freshly baked croissants, strudel, and turnovers arrived 45 minutes later.
Usagi awoke the next morning feeling refreshed. She looked around for a moment wandering where she was. Then she remembered. Quatre. She was at Quatre's house. I guess I fell asleep after the crying jag. The guys are just great. Putting up with me like this. "I guess we really are friends." she said aloud. It was nice to confirm it. After all, she did not have a good history with friends.
She glanced at the clock. It read 9 o'clock. I guess I should go down to breakfast. Usagi went to the mirror. On second thought maybe I should take a shower first.
Usagi got out of the shower. It was then that she realized she didn't have any clothes. She hadn't exactly been thinking about what she was going to be wearing when she ran out of the apartment. Too bad the clothes she had been wearing were now wet. I just had to get the stupid grass stains out...
With the towel still wrapped around her body, Usagi tiptoed out of the room and into the hall in search of somebody.
Damn. What a night. Heero wasn't exactly happy at the moment. I stayed up all night in case she had a nightmare, waited for her to finish taking a shower, left to go to the bathroom for two minutes, and now she's not here. Heero mentally growled as he went to track down Usagi.
Quatre, meanwhile, was walking to his room. He was feeling a little chilly, so he decided to get a sweater. He was only a few doors away when someone tapped his shoulder. Quatre whirled around.
"Oh. It's only you," Quatre muttered as he tried to calm his racing pulse.
"Oh. Gee. How nice to see you too Quatre." Usagi replied sarcastically. "I can take a hint. I know when I'm not wanted!" And with that she turned around and walked down the hall with her nose in the air.
"I'm sorry Usagi! I didn't mean it that way. You just surprised me. Don't be mad," Quatre said a little desperately.
"Quatre, I was just joking," Usagi said patiently. Quatre turned bright red with embarrassment. "Anyway I need your help. As you can see I'm in dire need of some clothes."
And he did see. He turned even redder. Beautiful... Was all he could think as his brain shut down. His mind had conjured up an image of Usagi wearing considerably less than what she was now covered with. Quatre turned even redder, if such a thing was possible.
Heero prowled the hallways for a certain blond bunny. He briefly wondered if maybe an enemy had taken her, but quickly dismissed the thought. Usagi had always liked to explore. But without clothes?
Quatre looks like he's going to have a heart attack. I didn't know people could turn that red... Usagi giggled. But after another few minutes, Usagi shouted "Quatre. I need clothes now!" She had to restrain herself from hitting him. Quatre had started to drool and he couldn't seem to look away from the wet towel below Usagi's creamy shoulders.
"What? Oh... That's right. Clothes." Quatre muttered to himself. "Darling. You don't need clothes. You're much too beautiful without them."
At this Usagi could restrain herself no longer. "Pervert! Hentai! What happened to being polite?!"
Heero was just around the corner when he heard the commotion. Usagi was screaming obscenities at someone in almost more languages than he could count. Damn it! How'd Duo get in here? Heero started running. He glided around the corner and saw an almost naked Usagi hitting someone. But it wasn't Duo.
Usagi was too busy trying to beat the crap out of Quatre with her bare hands to see Heero come, but Quatre did. "Heero help!" Quatre yelled. "I can't defend myself or I'll hurt her!"
"What! Like you'd even get the chance to hurt me!" And with that she tried to kick him in a not very nice place. Unfortunately for Quatre, she succeeded. Usagi leapt aside as Quatre fell to the ground moaning. Heero meanwhile was laughing hysterically. This definitely made up for yesterday.
A half an hour later and Usagi was dressed for breakfast. She had calmed down and was contemplating on whether or not to forgive Quatre for his earlier behavior. I guess I did kind of kick him hard. Okay. Forgiveness it is. But first I think I'll rub it in a little.
"Quatre?" He lifted his head and glanced at his plate.
"Yes, Usagi.?" He asked quietly.
"I know you're sorry so I guess I'll forgive you for being a disgusting pervert." He winced.
"Thank you Usagi." Quatre answered quietly. "I won't do that again."
"You better not." Heero growled softly. "Or I'll be the one that retaliates..." Neither Quatre nor Usagi heard the quietly spoken words.
Duo arranged the pastries with a practiced eye, putting the ones she liked best in front. He hummed as he strode to the bedroom door. Food was definitely the way to Usagi's heart. He opened the door carefully and backed into the room.
"Ohh... There you are..." a voice purred. Duo whirled around.
"What the fuck are you doing here?!" he screamed.
HeHeHe..... I'm just evil aren't I? This chapter was fun to write, but not very much happened, did it? It's more a transitional chapter than anything else. Well next chapter is really when everything happens. Please tell me what you thought.
Thank you for reviewing!

Shi no Tenshi/Megami: Actually he didn't know he brought another woman home.
Shadow Wolf: Duo only just became aware that the person in bed wasn't Usagi. But as whether or not he knows that he was cheating on her.... That's a whole other story.
Angel-Goddess: What does subarashii mean? Relena should come in around chapter seven or so. But as for bashing, I don't know. Should I?
Sailor Grape: You're going to have to wait for next chapter for Duo's realization to kick in. And Usagi isn't going to just mope around. The girl is definitely going to make him suffer.
