            Heero walked pretty far away from the building-out of the city-pretty much halfway across the colony.  Finally, he arrived at a small house.  He knocked on the wood finish door.  It opened.

            "Hi Heero!" Quatre exclaimed. "Welcome home!"  Heero gave a half nod of recognition and went on in.  A small bathroom was immediately in front of him.  He went to his right, where a living room was at he end of a few paces and the wood floor stopped and carpet began.  Upon entering the TV that was on his immediate right was on 'some chick show' as Duo would call it and he and Wufei were on the couch watching it. A guy on the TV shot a girl dead and cried hysterically.  Quatre's eyes welled with tears.

            "Julian!" he gasped.  Duo and Wufei cracked up.

            "Punk," Heero chuckled.

            "Tro-wah!" Quatre called angrily.

            "Heero stop picking on Quatre!" Trowah called from the kitchen.

            "I'm not!" Heero called back. "Crybaby."

            "TRO-WAH!" Quatre shouted, blushing.  Duo laughed.  Wufei told them to shut up so he could hear.

            "Heero!" Trowah yelled.  He stuck his head out of the kitchen. "Come on, guys, cut it out.  I'm trying to finish up dinner."  Heero left Quatre alone and plopped down between Wufei and Duo.  They grunted and scooted over.  The soap went off.  Wufei started channel surfing.

            "Guess where I just came from." Heero asked, bored.

            "The park." Trowah, Duo, and Wufei said in unison.

            "Yeah, but guess who's in the colony."

            Nobody answered.

            "Well?"

            "Who, Heero?" called Trowah, still in the kitchen.

            "Relena."

            "Awesome." Duo muttered.  "Tell her to drop by my room."

            "Seriously." Trowah agreed. "How long is she staying?"

            "Dunno. A while I guess."

            "Are you gonna see her?" asked Quatre, sucking up his tears.

            Heero didn't say anything.  He didn't want them to know how much he liked her.  He thought he loved her.

            "I guess," he said nonchalantly.
