Sorry…I was having second thought about this story. I was thinking of sacking the whole thing but Kumorimisora convinced me to keep writing, . So here I am. According to Renee's wishes their will be a slight change in this chapter that no one will realise o_O and I forgot the e-mails…again…
Shinigami's angel is already to be posted (that's what I've been spending time on) also, creating a Zechs banner (which I'm very proud of) and RPGin a lot. Ever heard of VirtualHogwarts.net? Ok…I'm getting off subject….
If anyone can draw me a fan-art picture for the end of this chap please do! It will be much appreciated. My E-mails on my bio page. Also, if anyone wants to see my 2x1 banners just ask!

Chapter Eleven – The Prom
"Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god. What will he think? Am I dressed right? Does my bum look big in this?"
"DUO!" Hilde held her head, "For the last time – YES!"
Duo pouted, "It does look big?"
"NO!"
"But you just—"
"Forget it." Hilde sighed and flopped down on the sofa while waiting for the limousine to arrive. She was dressed in a shimmering blue and purple dress that had spaghetti straps. She had also added a swipe of glitter to each cheek.
Hilde grinned, "So who's this mystery man?"
Duo grumbled before sitting down next to her. "I'm starting to regret telling you about Sport."
Hilde was about to reply when the doorbell went. "I'LL GET IT!"
"Well duh…" Muttered Duo before following Hilde out the door and into the white stretch limo, the chauffer shut the door and began to head for Renee and Hilde's boyfriends house's respectively.
Hilde rummaged about in her bag for the mask which she would be wearing. It was a small delicate sea-green one made to look like waves. She placed it over her eyes and Duo watched amused as her eyes turned turquoise and her hair turned blonde and fell to her shoulders.
Duo looked out the window in anticipation as Hilde kissed her boyfriend and the limo set off again. ~We finally meet Sport…~
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Heero groaned and placed his head in his hands as Relena dragged Dorothy into her bedroom for the twentieth time, "Ok, so the reds not me…lets try the purple."
Heero banged his head over and over again off a nearby column but was stopped by a friendly hand which Heero immediately recognised. "Wufei?"
Wufei was dressed in a black suit with a crimson tie. A black Mask covered the whole of his face but the eyes behind it were blue and the hair was spiky and red. "Hey, Heero."
Nichol was dressed in a light green dress in two pieces, the top bit was sparkly and shimmering. In her bellybutton was a simple silver stud. She was wearing a silver mask with green and silver strands coming down the sides. "We got tired of waiting for the limo to turn up."
Heero pointed down the hall, "The chauffers in there. He has been for three frickin hours as well." Heero stood up. "RELENA!"
There was a pause before a, "YES?"
"Get out here now, Wufei and Nichol are here! We need to go!" Heero banged on the door twice with his fist and Relena finally appeared, she was dressed in pale pink with a full skirt and a matching bag. Her mask was a hand-held one which was white with mirrored pieces around the edge and a long white pole to hold.
She looked simply stunning and everyone in the hall was staring.
"What? Have I got something in my teeth?"
There was a chorus of thuds as the party fainted pokemon style.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Duo was the first out of the limousine. He extended a hand and Renee got out. She was dressed in a gold flowing dress which turned cream at the bodice and had no straps. She was wearing a golden mask much like Relenas. Instead of her blonde hair she was a flaming red-head with emerald green sparkling eyes.
Duo's long plait had disappeared; instead he had shoulder length jet-black hair with electric blue streaks and electric blue eyes. His powder blue tux fitted perfectly with his new look and instantly everyone turned to look at him.
The now Blonde Hilde and Green haired boyfriend-guy (Duo was never good with names) got out next and the two couples climbed aboard the gleaming 5star cruiser. Ms. Noin, (well Duo presumed it was Ms. Noin seeing as she was close to ripping the DJs head off) nodded at him at Mr. Peacecraft smiled.
Duo extended a hand to Renee and they began to dance while Hilde and her boyfriend went to go and get a table.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Heero looked down at the half mask in his hands, it was a dark green which went with his black tux and green tie. Carefully he placed it on and his hair turned a metallic blue and his eyes turned chocolate brown.
Relena finished her champage and, tired of watching Wufei and Nichol play tonsil hockey turned to Heero, "So…I hear DUO'S going to be at this party…"
"Yes, and so are you, and Wufei and Miss. Noin." Remarked Heero icily.
Relena 'hmphed' as the black limousine pulled up and was the first to step out. Heero was next and he was halfway on the boat when he realised that Nichol and Wufei were still in the Limo. He turned back as a hand wiped down the window (Think titanic) and the limo began to rock slowly.
Fighting off a nose-bleed he quickly ran on the boat.
Nichol burst into laughter and fell on the floor, "He thinks we're making out! He fell for it! The daft bugger—" She was silenced by Wufei who clamped his lips on hers..
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Duo looked at his watch before brushing some black and electric blue bangs out of his eyes. It was midnight un-masking in exactly two hours. ~Time to go find Sport~. Taking a deep breath Duo began to look for who was Behind the Screen Name. [A/N: I know…I know…]
He grabbed a yearbook from one of the tables and began to flick lazily through it, as he walked he stopped on the picture of Heero, ~that's a point, not seen Heero yet~
He passed two girls talking to themselves and sniggering. There was a boy in a clown mask pulling what looked like another, but undoubtedly smaller, boy into one of the rooms that were meant to be locked but conveniently Duo had forgotten to.
~What if I never find Sport? What if…~ Duo was too busy thinking of What-ifs that he didn't notice the other boy until it was too late. "Sorry!" Duo's yearbook landed on the deck and both boys went to get it, one hand landing on top of the other.
Electric blue met chocolate brown…
[A/N: Do you really think I'd leave it there?]
Heero looked into the other boys face and felt something tug at his chest, "Cool?"
"Sport?"
Both boys stood up slowly, their palms pressed together. Heero studied their hands and the touch that felt so familiar, "I never thought…"
Duo bowed, "A dance?"
Heero smiled. "Of course." Entwining their fingers both boys moved towards the dancefloor, the yearbook lay open where it had fallen. Heero's face was on one side and Duo's on the other. Both figures seemed to be beaming with happiness.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Relena gasped and nearly dropped her drink as she saw Heero walk with someone to the floor as a slow number began and the other boy with the streaks leant his head on Heero's chest as they danced.
"Hilde…what did you say Duo looked like again…?"
Hilde blinked at her friend before pointing to where Relena was looking. "That's him there dancing with…what did you say Heero looked like again…?"
Relena blinked and pointed to where they were both looking, "That's him dancing with…"
"Oh for gods sake!" Yelled a new voice. Both girls turned around to see Renee. "I know it, you know it, she knows it! Heero and Duo are in love."
Saying it like that seemed to bring it crashing down on Relena and her eyes went all sparkly, "Oh my little Heero…"
Grumbling, Renee pushed her away where she stumbled and fell flat on her face. "They were meant to be, why do you think they blocked out that memory?"
Hilde opened and closed her mouth like a fish.
"Oh God…has every girl on this damn ship turned into a bubbling idiot?" She pushed Hilde also and Hilde fell into Relena where they both sighed and exclaimed "KAWAII!"
Renee sweatdropped.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Do you ever get the feeling we're being watched?" Asked Duo, lifting his head up slightly form Heero's chest.
"All the time."
"OK KIDS IT'S FIVE MINUTES TILL THE MIDNIGHT UNMASKING! FIND YOUR LOVERS AND GET READY TO UNMASK!"
Duo grinned and grabbed Heero's hand, enjoying the feeling of their skin together. Pulling the metallic blue haired guy towards the railings at the side of the boat he smiled with happiness. ~I finally get to see you Sport~
"10!"
Heero turned to face Duo.
"9!"
Duo slipped one arm around Heero's neck and the other went to his mask.
"8!"
Heero placed one arm around Duo's waist and placed his left on Duo's mask.
"7!"
The sea rushed softly against the boat, and the moon sent pale glows dancing across their skin.
"6!"
Heero smiled and looked down into Duo's eyes.
"5!"
Duo looked up and moved ever-so slowly forward and upwards.
"4!"
Heero half closed his eyes and leaned in.
"3!"
Heero felt Duo's breath on his lips and instinctively hugged the boy closer.
"2!"
Duo leaned in a tiny bit further taking the hug as an encouragement.
"1! UNMASK!"
Their lips met and the whole world seemed to disappear beneath their feet, lost in pools of happiness both boys leaned in further to the kiss. Duo ran his tongue softly over Heero's lips before beginning to pull of the mask. Heero felt himself changing back to normal and pulled off Duo's also.
Violet met Cobalt orbs.
