Oi, I'm back. I have been thinking....

I really dun like how I did the 3rd chapter cause I totally messed up the whole mood of it. So I have been stuck with three choices.

1) Dump the fic...I f*cked it up I wont be able to fix it.

2) Change the chapter.

3) Leave it the same.

And just today I got a review and *poof* it answered my question. I am x-ing out the 3rd chapter and writing a new one that I like better!!

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH TO REVIEWER CRESCENT!!! *glomps*

I'm just out to find

The better part of me

The ballroom floor was filled with masked dancers. Some people were dancing but others chose to stand aside and watch. This ball was being thrown by Demtre and Tria celebrating their 25th anniversary and there was much rejoicing being held in the ballroom that night.

It was a masquerade ball, Tria's favorite, and the room was filled with various noblemen (and women) from all over the planet.

Their was also excitement among the men because, under one of the hundreds of masks their was the Princess of Deonia. Rumor was that her face could make the blackest of hearts joyful and the coldest of men warm with light (among other things). So, of course, every man in the damned house was looking for her.

Understandably so, Duo was scared out of her mind and constantly dodging to hide in the crowds of people. There was also that tiny little problem of keeping his gender a secret to hundreds of blood thirsty men.

" Duo, come here my lass!" Demtre was sitting on the thrown clad in black with a matching mask.

" Not so loud..." Duo hissed, " They will here you...." Demtre pulled Duo behind the golden thrown.

"To bad, I want you to dance with some of these young men around here."

"Freaking psychotic uncle messing with my life. You know you could have told me sooner why I have been where dresses for 15 years. You know, I thought myself just a tad bit queer sometimes." Duo grumbled. Just last night, before the ball, Demtre and Tria told him about the curse, about Valius, why he had to act like a girl, and why he needed to find a guy. Time was running short for them, it was only 6 weeks before Duo's birthday.

" I'm sorry boy. But you've got to go out there and at least try to find a guy." Demtre's eyes were pained.

Duo sighed, " Ya...okie dokie..."

At that he went back to the dance floor.

I'm more than a bird.I'm more than a plane

More than some pretty face beside a train

It's not easy to be me

Trowa walked down the hallway searching for the bathroom. He and his brother had been invited to the ball, and their father made them go. Trowa hated balls.

Just as he was about to give up on his search for the potty he heard footsteps, frantic footsteps. Before he new what was happening he had a small blond boy on top of him.

" Oh crap!!! I'm sorry sorry sorry sir!! I didn't see you!!" The boy rambled trying to push himself off of Trowa, unsuccessfully.

Trowa nodded and smiled, "Let me help you." Picking the boy up, Trowa straitened the poor clothing the boy had on.

"May I have your name?" Trowa asked seeing if the boy was hurt.

" Q-Quatre your highness...." Quatre looked at his shoes.

Trowa lifted Quatre's hand to his lips and placed a kiss of the downy soft skin. " Pleased to meet you, Quatre. Im Trowa of Lanium."

Quartre flushed, "Im..Im a guy highness."

Trowa smiled at the boy's innocence. Trowa knew he was gay, but he didn't want to scare the boy, but he felt drowned to Quatre.

"I know that. Why are dressed so?"

"Im a cook, well an assistant cook!" He said with enthusiasm that surprised Trowa.

"I love food! You must be what...14?"

"15 just this week!!" Quatre gleamed.

" Well would you mind helping a lost 17-year-old find the lavatories?" Trowa held out his arm in an inviting manner.

Quatre took his arm and pointed towards the left. "Right this way!!"

Wish that I could cry

Fall upon my knees

Find a way to lie

About a home I'll never see

Duo scanned the room for someone who looked remotely interesting. His dress was getting annoying. It was purple and black with an outlining of wings on the back of the dress. He whore a small black glass mask. His hair was in a braid as always.

Outside on the balcony someone caught his eyes. His hair was messy, he had on a simple dark blue suit, and had a whitish gray mask. The wind outside made his hair even more messy, but to Duo he looked absolutely gorgeous bathed in moonlight.

The man turned and saw Duo staring at him but then quickly went back to watching the sea bellow.

Duo approached him. " Hi! You dance?"

The man turned and looked Duo up and down and the stared at his eyes. " I don't know how to dance." He shrugged.

" So?" The man looked at Duo questionably. " I don't dance well either."

"I'll look like an idiot."

Duo quickly grabbed the man's arm. "Then lets look like idiots together."

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

It may sound absurd.but don't be naive

Even Heroes have the right to bleed

I may be disturbed.but won't you concede

Even Heroes have the right to dream

It's not easy to be me

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

The stepped on the floor. They kind of did look like idiots, but the odd thing was they were perfect idiots. You know, they moved together even though the moves weren't right, they even bumped into people at the same time. It was like they knew what each other was thinking.

They didn't talk and they didn't need to. They were absolutely concentrated on trying to learn the steps so they wouldn't look stupid.

After about 30 minutes of dancing they were getting smoother. They almost flowed together. The song played and they danced as if it was only them and the music. Everyone stopped dancing and watching as the Princess and the unknown man danced.

The song ended with applause as the man dipped Duo, and they finally realized that they were being watched. The man stood Duo up and they bowed. Duo was laughing.

Everyone left and went back to their drinks and dancing. "Can't dance my ass." smirked Duo. The man allowed a smile to creep over his face. They wondered back to the balcony.

"So what's your name?" Duo questioned.

"What's yours."

" I asked you first."

He sighed ," My name is Heero Yuy, Prince of Lanium." At that Heero drooped his mask to revealing his whole face.

" Oh My God...." Duo gapped.

"Huh?"

"Your him!! The little boy from ten years ago!!" Duo was awed to see the boy again. Although he now was handsome with stern eyes.

Heero was also awed. He remembered that day for all his life, and he was even hoping that when he came here he could see The Princess again, to give her back her favorite ribbon.

"Then you must be..."

Duo removed his mask, lightly smiling. "Duo!!" he said.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Up, up and away.away from me

It's all right.You can all sleep sound tonight

I'm not crazy.or anything.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Your beautiful...." Heero murmured. " Your eyes still look the same."

Duo smiled. "Well you look a lot different!! Your all muscled now!!" He hit Heero's arm.

"I just can't believe it's you man!! I mean woah!! Total surprise!! I would always say 'Hes never coming back' ya know when I was a kid. Then I would look at the sword thingy and say 'Hey he promised he'd come back so he will!!' and so I just kept hopping you'd come and Here you are!!!" Duo took a big gulp of air.

"Yes well...I have your ribbon." Heero reached into his pocket to reveal a purple silk ribbon.

" No you keep it, my collection of ribbons has just grown over the years."

They stared at the sea splashing against the rocks of the shore. Duo was twirling his braid and Heero was deep in thought.

"Amita....

"Hm?" Heero asked.

"I was just thinking about why this sea is called 'The Amita Sea'." Duo said.

"Well why is it?"

" A long time ago there where two rulers, Amita and Gale. They were the rulers of this castle 200 years before my father took the thrown. Anyway, they got into an arranged marriage and Amita hated Gale. She loved the citizens and he hated them. They were too different. After a year of their rule Amita had an affair with a man called Feivel. He was a humble jester. Amita and Feivel fell madly in love. Gale had one of his men follow Amita on her walks into town for he was growing suspicious. The spy came back and told him that Amita was with another man, he also told where Gale could find Feivel. In his jealous rage Gale went to Feivel's house and slaughtered him. At dinner that night, Amita was served Feivel's head on a silver platter. Gale told her that if she ever left the castle again he would kill her. In her sorrow, Amita ran out to the balcony and jumped into the rocks bellow, killing herself."

"Woah..." Heero stared at Duo.

"Ya, I love that story." He sniffed.

"So...so do I..." Heero said.

They both thought that they had moved closer...but maybe that was just an illusion.

I can't stand to fly

I'm not that naive

Men weren't meant to ride

With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet

Digging for kryptonite on this one way street

Only a man in a funny red sheet

Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me.
