Sorry it's taken some time to get these done. I was kind of stuck and didn't know where to go with it. I think I'm good for now but if you have any suggestions as to where I should direct this let me know. And where are Duo, Heero, Wufei and the others??? On their way my friends! On their way!

Wounded Angel

"Oh, I'm in for it now," Quatre wined as he paced the dirt floor. "When I get back my father's going to kill me."

Trowa sat down on a fallen long in the forest they had escaped to. He shook his head, looking up into the canopy. "Then don't go back."

Quatre stopped and looked to the crazy man. "Don't go back? Are you nuts? I have to go back!"

Trowa turned to him. "Why?"

"Because if I don't they'll ring my neck!" he replied.

"You already stated you would be dead if you went back," Trowa commented. "Why not run away for good?"

"And to where, Trowa?" Quatre demanded. "The circus? I'm not eleven you know."

"Precisely!" Trowa said jumping to his feet. "We'll run away to the circus!"

"He's lost it," Quatre mumbled sitting on the dirt floor.

"No, seriously. We'll become the best act in the circus."

"nd how are we going to get there?" Quatre asked folding his arms.

Trowa shrugged. "We'll hitch hike."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quatre sat on the side of the road as another car sped past without even glancing in their direction. The dust kicked up and he held up a hand to keep from breathing it in yet again.

Trowa stood his arm firmly outstretched, thumb up in the standard hitch hiker position. "What number was that?" he asked.

"I lost count at thirty," Quatre answered coldly. "Who's stupid idea was this anyway?"

With a growl Trowa turned away. "I'll show you."

Quatre laid his hands on his head. It probably would have been faster to walk there. Would no one pick them up? Quatre closed his eyes. 'God,' he thought. 'I've never been the praying type but if you let just one person stop I promise to make it up to you somehow.'

Trowa put his hand on the blonde's shoulder. "Hey, Quatre."

Looking up Quatre noticed a large bus, doors open waiting for them. It was as if God had answered his prayer. He picked himself up and they hopped aboard.

The guy at the driver's seat smiled at them as they entered. "They call me Duo," he said. "Duo Maxwell."
