~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Irea,
How are you and Merris happening along? And how is my favorite niece Krista?
All is the same here. Dad is not getting better, nor is he any worst. Uncle Treiz is still draining the kingdom. he lets me out though to make sure that they don't think he is taking over. There is much I wish to tell you about but I am afraid my letters to you could be read by others so I will not post it here.
Wufie gives his regards in answer to your last letter. Yes, he is still hiding from uncle.
Oh today something new happened, While visiting one of the villages near the castle I came upon a woman who was teaching defense and schooling to kids and adults alike. And upon a sweet boy named Jervis. he is now my little friend. He told me a little about the rebels. I wont talk more on it. after all it is nothing but a rumor anyway right?
I cant wait to hear from you sister dear. Oh Sandrock is fine by the way and so is daisy. im sure you will see her about soon. I shall speak to you then.
Love you.
your little brother
Quatre
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quatre sent his letter with the royal guard and sent the second letter containing the details that he left out of that one with daisy. His sister' and his pet homing pigeon No one but his sister, her husband, Wufie, and himself knew about the pretty little pigeon, a gift from her husband so that he and his sister could stay in touch when she left. Merris, her husband. was a great guy and he was glad that she married him before his uncle took over and made her be with someone horrible.
He was heading toward the library to find Wufie to let him know it was time to leave for the puppet show he promised little Jervis he would attend, a smile gracing his face as he thought about his new friend, when he head it.
"psst" Quatre looked around before spotting a shadow up near one of the statues of his ancestors.
"Who's there?" Quatre asked in alarm stepping back.
"Its me, Is your uncle around?"
Quatre tried not to giggle as he saw Wufie hiding from his uncle once more. " no he is gone. Its time we left for the village. do you wish to come with me and face the girl? Or stay here and face my uncle?" Quatre asked in amusement.
Wufie looked like he was caught "The girl.. Anything is better then your uncle Prince Quatre" Wufie said with a smirk before walking off, rather quickly, to get the guard and carriage ready. Quatre pouted for a moment before following.
***************
Trowa stared out the window of Meiran's home watching the path, Quatre was to take. He didn't know why he was so anxious. it wasn't cause Quatre was the prince, or that he could get them all captured. He just needed to see the blond boy again. he couldn't believe how he been acting. He been slightly distracted since he saw him.
/Lust/ that's all it is...but somehow .. He couldn't believe that.
"So we will wait here until after the puppet show. In which Meiran will bring the prince and his advisor, without their guard, here to meet us." Heero was going over the plan again.
Meiran nodded. " though why we need his advisor ill never know." She said with a humph.
"Because it would be suspicious if he didn't bring is advisor. And cause they seem to be closer then just prince and advisor" Heero said, before turning to watch duo polish his weapon.
"Don't let him see that ok Duo? Not till we need it" Duo smiled and winked before nodding. Heero turned his head so no one could see the slight pinking of his cheeks.
"They're here" was Trowa's solemn voice.
He watched the carriage with the four honor guard ride up, and held his breath while one of them helped him down. He was dressed different today. He wore a silky looking white tunic, with dark blue breeches, you could tell they were soft by just how they look, a matching light blue sash and cape hung over his shoulders and across his chest, with gold tassels at the corner to hold it in place. his golden hair was slightly ruffled from the ride and a bright smile lit his face as he looked around.
Trowa couldn't turn his head away from the sight. Had Meiran not announce she was leaving, interrupting his daydream of meeting the boy, he might have stayed that way for a long time.
The boy gathered at windows and watch holes to see how the day played out.
******************************
"Your highness you came!" Meiran called out cheerfully.
Quater turned and smiled at her. "Please lady Meiran, just call me Quatre. when we are here."
"Then you must call me Meiran ... and you?" she looked at Wufie.
"You will call me royal advisor Chang"
"Wufie!"
Wufie glared at his prince before looking at the woman "You onna, may call me Chang" he looked at Quatre as if to say that's as far as he was willing to be pushed.
Quatre nodded with a sigh. "Quatre!!" a high squeaked voice piped up before Quatre was bowled over by a young boy.
"Your highness!"
"Quatre!!"
"Quatre!"
Meiran, Wufie, and one guard ran over to see if he was ok. what they found was a laughing Quatre hugging Jervis.
"That was so good i was really surprised!" Jervis smiled before getting up.
Wufie helped Quatre up while the guard dusted him off. "Im fine.. its ok.. Guards. You may relax but at least two of you stay in sight of my carriage at all times."
They nodded and rested. Meiran showed them the way to where she had the puppet booth set up. she went to get Quatre a chair but he shook his head and sat on the ground next to Jervis and a few other kids. All of which either climbed into his lap or onto his cape to sit with him. He looked like he was in heaven as he sat Jervis in the center of his lap and looked to the booth.
Many of the adults and older children had come to watch. All were in awe in seeing the prince to the crown sitting on the ground with the younger ones laughing happily along.
Meiran roped Wufie into helping her with the puppet show. He looked affronted that he had to play the girl puppet.
"Hello Manya how are you on this fine day" Meiran asked.
Wufie glared and moved his puppet. " i am fine very strong man, it is kind of you to even think of someone as lowly as me when you have so much you could be doing then talking to weak onnas" he smirked.
Quatre paled. This could be bad..or very funny.
Meiran looked enraged. "Why would I not speak to one as beautiful as you? You who cannot only bare children but do anything someone as pathetic as me could do. im in awe by your power" she looked triumphant.
Duo looked at Heero and Trowa. "This is going to be soo good. IM not sure who im routing for but I cant wait to see who wins." They nodded and pressed closer to their look out spots.
the children and adults laughed and chuckled at the antics
"Oh yeah! Well, I spend all day fixing my self to look pretty. obviously I must need all day if I was to even look half as good as you."
"oh no my dear. It is you who is more beautiful then me even without your make up. for you at least bathe more then once a month!"
"i know you do to. for cleanliness is next to godliness and that's why i am to do nothing but clean so that my husband wont have to worry about it"
"But I should help for you deserve equal rights!"
"I do not!"
"do too"
"Do not!"
"do too!!"
at that bother Wufie and Meiran stood up and growled
"Weak woman!"
"Barbarian male!"
They glared at each other until they heard the clapping.
They looked over to see everyone laughing and clapping. Meiran blushed but bowed, Wufie looked stunned but bowed too and looked to see Quatre laughing more then any.
/Damn onna/he thought darkly.
**********************************************8
"Quatre,,,,,,annoying male.... Will you please accompany me to my home for a drink?" Quatre nodded and glared at Wufie before walking on holding Jervis's hand. Jervis smiled at getting to come along.
"I have someone I would like you both to meet." She opened the door and stepped inside.
Quatre and the others followed and waited for her to light a candle so they could see.
"Why are no windows open Meiran?" a light flickered and soon the room was bright enough to see.
There stood three boys about Quatre's age all watching them.
Wufie growled "Traitor!" and jumped in front of the boy and Quatre his katana drawn.
Duo automatically grabbed his syth and held it out menacingly.
"Meiran...what is going on?"
"Quatre wait let me explain this is.."
"Trowa!" Jervis ran forward and hugged the tall silent one in the corner. A hint of a smile crossed his features as he patted the child on the head.
Quatre blinked."Trowa? As in the one who has been stealing from my uncle's tax money?"
Trowa nodded, shooting a glance at Duo and Heero.
Nodding Heero gave a quiet command, "Duo Lower your weapon."
"But Heero...His advisor has.."
"Now Duo."
Duo frowned but, lowered his syth.
"Quatre," Meiran started, "They wanted to meet you. They wanted to just speak with you. I promise they wont hurt you. Trowa and the rest were here when you were yesterday, they just wanted to talk to you, about your uncle." She waited silently, she really didn't want him to be angry with her. Not only cause he could have her killed for traitorous actions, but cause she thought of him as a soon to be good friend.
Quatre traded a look with Wufie, before having a near whispered conversation.
"What should we do?"
"I don't trust that onna or those men."
"They seem to be good people."
"They could be killers."
"They would have killed us."
"They could be friends with your uncle."
"They don't like him."
"Sent by your uncle to find traitors."
Quatre stopped at that thought then shook his head. As he was about to say something else Duo jumped up.
"Listen, can we at least tell you our side. And then you judge?"
"How do we know you wont lie?" Wufie asked with a glare.
"I may run and hide but I never lie. Just ask Father Maxwell."
Quatre blinked, "He would vouch for your honor?"
Duo nodded, "He raised me."
"Fine we shall hear what you have to say."
