A/N: I apologize that I don't have a link to the mp3 of "I'll Never Tell" but you can easily download it on Kazaa or any other music program that you have. This will be one of the four songs I'll be using. I have changed some of the lyrics to match with the characters a bit more. I will be doing this with the other songs as well. Hope I did justice to both the song and the characters.
Please read and review and I would love some constructive criticism.:)

I'll Never Tell
It was only two days ago that they had announced that they were engaged. They had quickly reserved the small bar that most of the Preventer agents usually stop by to left off some steam. The party only contained a few selected people who were closest to the couple. The couple went around the bar entertaining their guests and practically shaken everybody's hands in the room. Any of the guests would have claimed that Duo and Hilde were literally the happiest people in the Universe.
The couple had hired a small band that was now starting to pack up but leaving only a few instruments out of their cases to still play some tunes with Quatre and Trowa who had really been the main source of the entertainment. Hilde had demanded that they played for them, seeing that it would be good practice for the both of them before her big day with Duo.
The bar was nearly deserted now, leaving only the couple, the rest of the former Gundam pilots, Relena Darlian, Catherine Bloom, and Dorothy Catolonia who had came out of pure boredom. The boys were loitered near the stage where the musicians were while the girls quietly chatted hardly twelve feet across from them at the tables. Hilde was having a great time in engaging conversation with the girls and even had a couple of good words come out of Dorothy while Duo did the best he could to talk to his quiet comrades, Quatre being the only one that was taking interest in what he was saying. Through out this, the two of them would timidly tilt their head toward each others direction and quickly exchanging loving glances before returning their attention back to their friends again.
For the fifth time, Hilde, slowly, and inconspicuously as possible, turned her head the slightest to the right and caught a glimpse of Duo who had finally got the all four men into what looked like a quiet but interesting conversation. Not wanting to disturb him, she returned her head back to its original position only to be met by three amused and accusing faces.
"Honestly, Hilde," Catherine chided. "You're going to be spending the rest of your life in bed with that man, can you at least give us a little bit of your attention?"
The bride-to-be blushed. "Sorry," she replied sheepishly.
Relena gently nudged Catherine with her elbow. "Oh, don't pay her any mind Hilde. We completely understand."
"Now, why you would want to spend all your life in bed with that man escapes us," Dorothy quipped.
Relena sighed in frustration while Catherine giggled. Hilde merely scowled playfully at the remark, knowing that her icy friend was, deep down, happy for her. But, just something in her words made her feel uneasy.
Catherine noticed her friend's change in mood and looked at her with concern. "Hey, she was just kidding. Right, Dorothy?"
The blonde only shrugged.
Catherine and Relena frowned at her. Not helping...
"No, its nothing."
Catherine and Relena exchanged uncertain glances.
"Are you sure?" Relena asked.
Hilde gave them a reasuring smile. "Yeah, you know. Its just..."
"Wonderful?" Catherine finished.
Hilde nodded.
Dorothy rolled her eyes.
"Its everything you've ever wanted," Relena said.
"I know. I can't be anymore happier..." Hilde smiled radiantly, but again, it fell for just a split second not without being noticed by Dorothy who questioned, "But?"
Hilde looked up at her friends who were now awaiting for an answer for she had failed to shadow the emotion in her eyes. She sighed inwardly. She turned around and looked at Duo again who was smiling whole heartedly and her face immediately soften just as a light melody sounded from the piano.
The next thing she knew, she began to sing.
"There is the man that I plan to entangle
Isn't he fine?"
Catherine and Relena beamed at her while Dorothy rolled her eyes in disgust.
"My claim to fame was to maim and to mangle Vengeance was mine."
Dorothy smirked. "Now those were the days."
"But I'm out of the biz
The name I made I'll trade for his
The only trouble is...
I'll never tell."
Hilde slowly took a few steps away, leaving the three girls with puzzled looks.
Trowa blew out short, sweet notes on his flute as Duo sang along.
"She is the one
She's such wonderful fun
Such passion and grace." He shook Quatre's shoulders out of pure enjoyment and excitement of his own words while the blonde business man could do nothing but laugh at his friend's estatic energy. He was finally given the opportunity to position his precious violin between his shoulder and chin and arranged himself in a flawless violinist posture as Duo hopped over to where Heero and Wufei were and continued.
"Warm in the night when I'm right in her tight--" He quickly changed his wording, catching the deadly glares from the two deadly men.
"Embrace! Tight Embrace!" The lovely sound of Quatre's violin flowed throughout the room.
"I'll never let her go
The love we've known can only grow
There's just one thing that--" The violin music slowly disappeared.
"No.
I'll never tell." Trowa blew out a short bar of notes, before exchanging confused looks with his comrades. They watched him stuffing his hands in his pockets and taking short steps away from them. Duo then lifted his head and made eye contact with his girlfriend and they both sang:
"Cause there's nothing to tell."
The piano strucked up a light staccato beat.
Hilde swiftly turned around and leaned toward her friends.
"He snores."
Duo doing the same, sang, "She wheezes."
"Say housework and he freezes."
His face was a mask of disgust as he replied musically, "She eats these skeezy cheeses which I can't describe."
"I talk, she breezes."
"He doesn't know what please is!" Hilde looked incredulous and frustrated. Cupping her hand around her mouth, she added:
"And his penis got disease
From a chumash tribe!"
Dorothy burst out laughing as Catherine and Relena covered their mouths in shock. Wufei who had unfortunately overheard the statement shuddered in utter disgust.
Duo and Hilde turned around and met each other face to face on the dance floor, between the two group of friends, both singing.
"The vibe gets kinda scary." They both abruptly turned around and leaned against each other.
"Like he thinks I'm ordinary."
"Like its all just temporary." He sang, shaking his head.
She made a face. "Like his toes are kinda hairy."
Pushing themselves off each other, they faced each other again and sang:
"But its all very well
Cause God knows I'll never tell!"
Duo picked her up by the waste, pivoted, and lightly dropped her on his former spot. Hilde
made no time in strolling toward the four former-pilots as she heard the same short sweet notes from Trowa's
flute again. Specifically eyeing Heero, she leaned against him with her elbow on his shoulder.
"When things get rough
He just hides behind Relena--"
Heero's eyes widened.
She gestured towards Duo direction.
"Now look, he's getting huffy
'Cause he knows that we know."
Overhearing the accusation, he scowled and turned toward the girls. 'Two can play that game.'
"She clings,
She's needy..." He grabbed each finger for each slander.
"She's also really greedy
"She never--" Duo was caught by surprise as Hilde suddenly appeared between him and the group of girls and blurted, "His eyes are beady!" He gently pushed her aside and glared at her.
"This is my verse,
Hello? She--"
At that point, the band suddenly came into full musical swing, interrupting Duo again. Not wanting him to continue his slander Hilde immediately pulled Duo on to the dance floor. Pulling him up against him, she draped a hand over his shoulder and held up his hand with the other one.
"Dance with me?" she asked giving him a mischievous look.
Duo only grinned in response as place his hand on her waist.
Trumpets blared as the their sound washed over the two dancers on the floor. They moved easily to the playful tune. He turned her, their bodies separated for a second only to retrieve her back in his arms again. They never broke eye contact with each other as they moved perfectly with the music, both of them never missing a step. He picked her up, swung her on his side. The music sped up but only for a moment as Duo spun her out of his arms. She spinned a couple of feet away from him. She stopped just as the jazzy tune stopped. Soft music resounded as they slowly walked back to each other, their once playful expressions now replaced by soft, loving glances as they sang:
"You know..."
Duo took over. "You're quite the charmer."
"My knight in armor."
Wufei scowled at the affectionate scene. " I think I liked it better when they were fighting."
Duo cradled her chin and ran a thumb over her lips.
"You're the cutest of the girlies
With your lips as red as rubies..." His gaze slowly lowered down to her chest, a perverted smirk gracing his lips. "And your firm yet supple-" He suddenly caught himself, his head snapping up. "Tight embrace!"
The trumpets started up again as the two dancers on the floor quickly improvised a quick combo of steps. The music disappeared as fast as it had started. They slowly parted and made their way back to their friends. Quatre's sweet violin music echoed throughout the room again, flowing like silk as it harmonized with the soft notes of the piano. They ended softly as Trowa blew out soft sweet notes again.
They stood before their friends again. Hilde's arms were wrapped around her torso while Duo's hands were stuffed in his pockets. Unknowingly, her happiness mirrored the face of Duo. She smiled wider, singing,"He's swell."
Duo turned his head slightly toward her. "She's sweller."
"He'll always be my feller."
His face suddenly turned from bliss to fear.
"That's why I'll never
tell her that I'm petrified."
"Coward," muttered Heero.
Hilde's good mood had also diminished.
"I've read this tale
There's wedding
Then betrayal
I know there'll come the day
I'll want to run and hide."
"I lied..." They slowly walked backwards until they were back to back.
"I said it's easy
I've tried
But there's these fears I can't quell."
Duo looked back at her.
"Is she looking
for a pot of gold?"
"Will I look good when I've gotten old?" Hilde bit her nails as she cotinued.
"Will our lives become to stressful
If we're never that successful?"
Duo ran his hands over his face.
"When I get so worn and wrinkly
That I look like David Brinkely."
"Am I crazy?"
"Am I dreamin'?"
"Am I wedding Shinigami?"
"We could
really raise the beam
In makin' marriage a hell
So thank god I'll never tell
I swear that I'll never tell."
As he walked back to the boys, Duo faced his girlfriend and made a show of zipping his lips.
"My lips
Are sealed."
Hilde place her right hand over her heart and help up her left. "I take the fifth."
"Nothing to see,
Movie it along..."
Making eye contact with each other one more time they sang, "I'll never..."
They winked.
"Tell."
"What do you mean I'm needy?!"
"My toes are not hairy!"
"I'm not greedy!"
"I don't have a disease on my..."
"They've been like that for half an hour," groaned Relena. "Shouldn't we do anything to stop them?"
"Actually, I'm quite enjoying it," said Dorothy.
The large group of friends watched from a safe distance at the exit of the bar as the couple continued their fight.
Quatre ignored Dorothy's comment and said, "I think the best thing to do is just leave them be. Its for our own safety anyway."
"Besides," Wufei began, "They're both to weak to make a fight like that last long. You know they can't stay mad at each other."
"What the hell happened just now anyway?" Catherine asked, still shocked from the previous event.
"I'd rather not know," Heero answered.
"Same here," Trowa added.
"Do you really think they'll be alright?" Relena asked.
"Don't worry about them," Heero reassured her. "They've been through worse."
"Yeah. Remember the fight they had after she recovered from the war? They weren't even together yet," Quatre recalled.
"Yeah," Catherine agreed. She then smiled. "If that's not love, what is?"
Silence came over them as they continued to watch the couple, all unknowingly at the same time envying the both of them. It was a few moments before Catherine spoke up again.
"Twenty bucks say that they make up by midnight."
"I'm in."
"Me too."
"Make it forty."
"Double that."
