Omake

-----Scene Fifteen, take one-----

*snip*

The doorbell rang, and a less-than-happy Duo opened it. He stood there for a second, wondering if maybe he should close it and try again, then grinned at the Publisher's Clearing House Crew...

-----Cut-----

PCH Guy: "Are you Duo Maxwell?"

Duo: *very proud and cocky* "Yes I am!"

PCH Guy: "Congratualations.........."

Dorothy: "HOLD IT!!!!!!" *pushes Duo out of the way*

PCH Guy: *blink*

Duo: "HEY!"

Dorothy: "I'm sorry, we're in the middle of a shoot here...you'll have to come back later" *slams the door shut*

PCH Guy: *on other side of door* Huh?

Duo: "WHAT YOU DO THAT FOR????"

Dorothy: *evil snicker*

-----Scene Fifteen, take two-----

*snip*

The doorbell rang, and a less-than-happy Duo opened it. He stood there for a second, wondering if maybe he should close it and try again, then grinned at the four women before him. "Konban wa! You must be the Outers, eh?"

"Shinigami?" the tall blonde woman questioned. Form the description he received, this must be Ten'ou Haruka.

"Yep, that's me!" He opened the door a bit wider. "Come on in. Usagi's asleep upstairs so-"

"No, she isn't, Shinigami-san," the small girl interrupted.

He turned sharply, and there she stood near the bottom of the staircase, imminent tears ready to stream down her face without yet falling. And it certainly wasn't joy at seeing these people that had put them there. It was from falling flat on her face from falling down the stairs again!

-----Cut-----

Duo runs over to Usagi, followed by the others.

Duo: "Daijobu desu ka, Usagi-chan?"

Usagi: *words choked by tears* "Ririna...pushed....me......"

Dorothy: *looking around for Ririna* "WHEN I FIND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!"

-----Scene Fifteen, take three-----

*snip*

Liquid blue eyes blinked up at him. "Duo?"

He felt a embittered smile build on his face. "This probably isn't fair to say to you right now, demo... I love you, Usagi. I was wrong before. And I know I've lost you now to Hiiro, but... can't you give me a chance now while he's gone?"

The color slowly drained from her face, and she blinked very sharply up at him. "Ch-chotto, Duo," she stuttered. "I don't-"

A faint light of hope that she had barely noticed in Duo's eyes died, and relief spread over his face, "Oh thank god!!!!"

*SMACK*

-----Cut-----

Usagi: *storms off the set*

Duo: *whimpers with a red mark on his face* "Itai..."

Camera man: "Oo....he had that one coming"

Sound guy: *nods*

Dorothy: "Duo! One more screw up and Ryuichi takes your place"

Duo: *face fault*

-----Scene Fifteen, take four-----

*snip*

"Gomen ne, Shinigami-san, Usagi-san...," a small voice stated.

"Hotaru?" the blonde goddess whispered as the black-haired girl stepped into view.

"I wanted to tell you two what was decided. Haruka and Michiru are leaving with Quatre-san and Trowa-san first thing in the morning. Setsuna and Wufei-san will be staying here with you guys."

"And you?" asked Duo.

A dark glint in her eyes, she answered, "I have a personal mission of my own, Shinigami-san. I'm going to....." *blinks and looks over at Setsuna* "Ano.......I forgot........what am I supposed to go do?"

-----Cut-----

Duo: *jumps up and looks at Dorothy* "Its not my fault! I didn't do it! Don't replace me with Ryuichi!"

Hotaru: *blinks, looking confused*

Usagi: *moans and shakes her head*

Dorothy: *laughing hysterically*

Camera man: "Don't tell me we are going to have to get a new producer..."

Sound guy: "I hope not......."
