Because they live in the future world of technology their masks when placed on change their hair and eye colour. I'm putting up this chap a little early because I finished it early and was bored… ^^() so TWO CHAPTERS for the price of one this week! Ok, maybe not…I lied…
Disclaimer: I'll own Gundam Wing one day, we'll all have more 1x2x1 and Relena will be dead.
Disclaimer thing two: Uh, I accidentally put some sentences in this from Mayaa's story enemies, or? So if anyone sees any more please tell me.
Disclaimer thingie-ma-bob three: 'The Tide is high' belongs to Blondie
Warning: 1x2, 3x4, 5x(it's a secret) and uh…Relena cheering on 1x2 ^^()

~text~ - thoughts
Tari of Nargothrond – Wouldn't you have to fly to England to blow-up my parent's car? IT? Masquerade is masks, where you have a mask which hides your identity.
Kerridwen – I'm surprised, my writers block doesn't normally go that quick. Must have been thanks to you!
Shinko – o.O I'm not abusing my privileges as a writer, I'm extending them and making sure my Reviewers come back.
Ookami-metsuki – Writers block is annoying I'll give you that, but I had that chapter already written, I WAS planning to write more but…darn writers block….
Triton Bloom – Thanks. Well they took the time to review and read my story, so I might as well read theirs! By the way, who's Hovse?
Ink – *Separates review into iincy teeny pieces* Lessee…I didn't continue on the line of thought where they remembered each other because Renee interrupted and being enemies has certain…rules…you can't just strike up a conversation with them. Also, remembering something after having specific amnesia and not knowing where the memories came from you could freak you out.
As for suddenly being in a classroom when they're meant to be in Chinatown is that they WERE in Chinatown, Miss. Noin and Mr. Peacecraft were eating at the same restaurant, (assuming you meant when Hilde asked Duo about the mark etc) I never wrote what happened in school after they fought so I needed to add what everyone thought and that Duo and Heero were not saying why they had started fighting.
*Looks up at how long the reply is and promptly faints, anime style*
Kumorimisora – Yet again I'll have to disappoint you in a way…
WereKitten – Yup, they're on L1, well done! O.o Very convenient lesson, (can you spell Plot Convenience?) Sorry, I can't kill Renee, she's a real reviewer.
Ex-angel, Dice and Bakura – Lol, thanks
Kyeian – Thanks.
Nekocin – Thanks! I agree, I wonder what will happen when they do meet?
Sakura Ishtar – Thanks!
Leaf Zelindor – Hehe, a cute fic. My writers block seems to have gone in the opposite direction…
FuJi Fox - *Is glared at* Um, I left it there because you'd come back and keep reading! ^_^ Um, you're along the right lines in a way, I'd like them to figure out another way also but with the title being "Behind the Screen Name" There's not much I can do.
Earth-phoenix-rising – Oxygen for the soul. Hehe, that's a good one.
Vic – Dum, Dum Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum (happy? Hehe)
Shini-girl Kit – Ok, I'll put you on the e-mailing list for Shinigami's Angel too.
Justaname – It looked fun…
Chara – I want your laptop, It speaks, mine doesn't… :(
NemesisMuse – I'll notify you, don't worry. As for being dense, well, what can I say? Btw, you need to get in touch, we need a new plot for Marauders Messages, because the Gilderoy Lockhart Saga has almost finished
Animegirl1234 – They haven't asked each others name online because they haven't had chance. They will meet at the prom, (one way or another) but the masks (as I said at the top) change your hair, and eye colour.
Jalee – Kye? Kyeian? Cool. Yeah, the killing spree's loadsa fun! Renee's the typical Relena figure because Relena being the "thing" is so overdone.
Chapter Ten – The Chapter I'm still trying to think of a name for
Cool_guy.on.a.comp: L1 comprehensive
SportsFreak: …
Cool_guy.on.a.comp: What?!
SportsFreak: …I go there too…
Cool_guy.on.a.comp: *faints*
SportsFreak: *dies*
Cool_guy.on.a.comp: I've got a cool idea, seeing as there's a prom coming (I assume you're going) lets meet there.
SportsFreak: What's your name?
Cool_guy.on.a.comp: No! We have to wear masks, so lets find each other at the prom and if we manage to, have to stay together all night until the unmasking?
SportsFreak: ok. Can't wait to meet you!

"What's got you so happy Duo?" Hilde scorned Duo, her eyes boring into his.
"Nothing,"
"Like hell there's nothing. Tell me!"
"No."
"Yes!"
"No! You'll find out soon enough." Duo gave her a smug grin and out of the corner of her eye Hilde saw Relena having a similar conversation with Heero.
Duo and Heero suddenly turned to face each other, smirked and left.
Hilde and Relena stared, "Do you think they…?"
"Nah…"
"They couldn't have…"
"Could they?"
"No…"
Neither sounded convinced.
Duo walked briskly through the hall all the time the same thing repeating over and over ~I'm going to meet Sport, I'm going to meet Sport, I'M going to meet SPORT~
He was so occupied he didn't notice Heero till they had collided and he had fell on top of him. "Oof."
The box full of lanterns Heero had been carrying went flying. "Maxwell! Now look what you've done!"
Duo blinked, still dazed before getting up slowly and dizzily. "Sorry Hee-chan."
Heero froze, his hand halfway to picking up the box, "What did you just call me?"
"Heeeeeeeeee-chan." Duo swayed uncertainly and began to fall. Heero caught him then blushed at the students milled around them.
"Basketball reflexes." He explained before dropping Duo very painfully to the floor flat on his face.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Duo, could you and Heero please go and get the candles?" Miss. Noin looked up from her check-list, Mr. Peacecraft by her side.
"Didn't Quatre and Trowa go get them?" Duo shouted back, as Heero joined his side.
"Yeah, but that was FIVE HOURS ago!" Miss. Noin stared meaningfully at the two lads, well more of a you-better-go-or-I'm-fucking-gonna-kill-you looks.
Both boys left the boat.
Renee pouted, "Why didn't you ask me?"
Miss. Noin bit back the because-you're-a-whiny-assed-brat-and-I-hate-your-damn-guts and let Mr. Peacecraft do the talking.
"Because both of the boys have a responsibility, now, can you help me string the lanterns up?" Mr. Peacecraft stepped forward with the long string of black lanterns with different coloured glass panes.
Miss. Noin stared at her sheet
1) Get candles
2) Place candles in jars and set on tables
3) String up lanterns
4) Clean out pool
5) Check they're no problems with the DJ
6) Fit the dance floor
7) Make room for the caterers
8) Place a yearbook on each place
9) Clean the decks
10) Place the Mediterranean sea plants
11) Check everything looks nice
12) Take some pictures
13) Take the rest of the night off
So far they were still on number one, Miss. Noin was thoroughly peed off and hoped that the next person through the door was Trieze.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You dare spill anything on my seats Yuy—"
"I haven't got anything TO spill." Heero climbed into the black soft-top car as Duo pulled the top down.
"If you spill ANYTHING…"
Heero just frowned and Duo started the car.
"So, I hear Relena's your date…"
"I hear Renee's yours."
Green Light.
"Well, she is my girlfriend…"
"She's also obnoxious, conceited and cruel."
Duo muttered something like "You're telling me," before pulling up at a red light.
Three girls were in a car next to them and simultaneously they all turned and waved, "Hey can we have your numbers? You two are HOT!"
The light turned to green and Duo shrugged, "Got to go." Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Heero blushing. "What? Never had someone call you hot before?" He bit back the 'they were right' and scowled.
"You do realise you never agreed to going out with Renee?"
Pelican crossing.
That was a shocker, "Where did that come from?"
Duo pulled up in the mall parking lot when a thought suddenly crossed his mind. "Heero?"
Heero stopped halfway to getting out of the car, "What?"
"We're going to have to walk into that mall together, meaning everyone from school will see us." Duo stared at his hands, "That can't go down well."
"You go then."
"Me?"
"Yes, that's what I said."
"Why me?"
"Because I said so."
"That's no reason!"
"Neither is that," Heero pointed out, he was about to say more before the air was knocked out from him and Duo dived on top of him. "Maxw—oomph!!"
Duo shoved his hand on Heero's mouth and hissed, "Be quiet or they'll see us!"
Heero glared at Duo but didn't say anything. He suddenly realized what this must have looked like to passers by and tried to tell Duo with his eyes but Duo was gaze was fixed on something else.
It was Nichol and Wufei, they were both coming out of the mall, Wufei's arm on Nichols shoulder and Nichol cuddling up to him. "Just friends my ass." Duo muttered under his breath.
"DUO MAXWELL, GET THE F—ING HELL OFF ME NOW!" Heero hollered.
Wufei and Nichol looked over, Wufei immediately fainted, a thin stream of red from his nose and Nichol burst into laughter.
Duo looked down at Heero, "What?"
Heero squirmed underneath him and Duo's eyes suddenly went wide, "Oh…"
Truth be told the two boys finally got the candles. Three and a half hours, an hysterical Nichol and a thoroughly dead Wufei I might add, but they got the candles. Eventually.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"We're ba~ack!"
Miss. Noin instinctively cringed at Duo's voice, whenever ever Duo was somewhere things broke. She lifted a hand to hide the sun from her eyes and looked around the gleaming cruiser ship.
There was a crash and the box Duo was carrying was "placed" down on the table.
"Duo!"
Duo looked up and squinted, "What? They're fine! Ok, so those five are bent…and those six are broken…"
"And that big pile is all mangled together." Pointed out Heero.
Duo swung out an arm lazily and caught Heero off-guard, Heero managed to tumble off the side of the boat towards the shining blue waters beneath.
*~*~*~*I was going to leave it here but….*~*~*~*~*
Duo jumped up as he felt Heero's hand wrap around his arm, "Maxwell!"
Duo was being pulled toward the edge of the boat which Heero was already dangling off, "Help!"
Renee shot across like lightning and wrapped her arms around Duo's waist, but as she reached him she tripped on a stray candle and fell headfirst into the ocean, she emerged ten seconds later drenched with her skirt buffeting up around her.
This was too much for Miss Noin and she fell into hysterical laughter next to Mr Peacecraft.
Duo tried to not laugh but failed and lost his grip on the boat, the result? Heero and Duo went flying into the ocean to join Renee.
Wufei and Nichol were laughing so hard after this one that they fell in also and Heero dunked Duo while Renee screamed that her hair was never going to be the same again. Nichol shouted "Oh act your age!" and splashed her.
Suddenly out of no where a large, roaring, wave came and crashed down, soaking them all.
Just then a large blast of music shook them, "The tide is high but I'm holding on ----"
"The Stereo's working!" The DJs head appeared, giving them all the thumbs up.
