Happily Ever After CH 7 Burakku Bara (Bara-Chan) December 11, 2001

"Hey, Rose?" Timidly Duo asked her.

Rose looked up from the list of furnishing, which they had created. "Yes Duo?"

"Um, I was wondering.could we get some animals?"

Rose smiled, she remembered that growing up in the orphanage Duo had never relaxed in the pleasures of having a pet. She her self, grew up watching over everyone else's pets. She wondered if the others ever owned a pet as well.

"Sure, I see no problem with it, as long as the others aren't allergic to it. Our place is quite large, and I'm sure it can house anything you have in mind. Besides the animals we're getting for the in wall ecosystems, what else did you want?"

In the walls of their house, there were 24 medium sized cubby like holes that the previous owners had kept various terrariums and aquariums in.

"Well.I was thinking some dogs and some cats to!" His look of happiness quivered a bit and looked in the direction of the patio.

Rose fallowed his gaze to realize that he was watching the others. She figured that Duo was worried that they were allergic to cats and dogs. Rose got off the stool and walked over to open the patio glass door.

"Hey guys, group meeting kay?"

She popped her head back in and the others fallowed. Noin, Sally, and Wufei were discussing something of importance out there, but Rose didn't know what.

"What's up?" Noin asked.

"Tell 'em Duo?"

Looking at the others sheepishly, he began "Well, I was hoping that when we go out shopping for the house today, we could also buy some pets. Like Cats and Dogs.that is.if y'all are not allergic to them.?"

"Oh that's right, you never had a pet in the orphanage. Well, I'm all for it, I'm not allergic to them. I say we get them at a young age so they can learn to get along as they grow up, like puppies and kittens."

Duo could never look more happy, he looked at the others "What about you two?"

"I only had a bunch of cats growing up, but I'm not allergic to dogs." Noin smiled.

"Fei I know your not the animal loving type of person." Duo stopped when Wufei smiled at him, that smile could melt his heart.

"If it makes you happy love to have them around, then by all means do so. And besides, I never said that I didn't like animals."

"ALL RIGHT!"

Duo jumped off the stool and glomped Wufei as hard as he could.

"Lets go shopping!"

"Hey guys one problem. We are supposed to meet up at Quatres tonight; I totally forget.but today actually was his birthday. That's why were getting together." Rose said.

"We'll lets get out and get some fresh air, and I'm sure that we will find something for him at the New Age Mall." Sally said.

Rose gulped, for the past few hours Heero and Relena had been the last things on her mind. But then she remembered the news article about them being at the Mall, and knowing Relena they would be there all day long.

'Get over it Rose, you set your self for disappointment, it was petty and childish of you to think that super man was going to fall in love with you.' She said to her self.

"I'm going to call Trowa and ask him a question, I'll meet you guys in the Jeep."

They all piled in the jeep, and Rose picked up the phone dialing Trowas cell.

"Barton."

"Hey, it's Rose."

"Oh, hello dear Rose, I'm afraid that Quatre isn't up yet, how are you doing?"

"Well, I've had better days, but I'm getting over it and learning from my mistakes. That's ok I don't need to talk to him, I needed to ask you something."

"I'm sorry for the hole misunderstanding Rose, I know I seemed, well a little cold hearted, but I really felt terrible that you had to find out that way. How did you make a mistake?"

"Thanks Trowa, and I didn't feel that you were cold hearted, I care about you to. Well I.I guess it's like I set my self up for disappointment. There obviously isn't any reason for me to deny it now. I really loved Heero, but I guess since it didn't work out it must not of been love. Duo spilled some things that Heero had told him when he was drunk, and well I got the wrong message about it. Besides, I know that he'll be happy with her; Relena is everything that I am not. She has all the class and manners that a tomboy like me doesn't grow up learning. But I was wondering if we are still on for the meeting at your place?"

"Don't talk about your self like that! I'm sure that I speak for everyone when I say that we love you because of who you are, you can be just as feminine as the next girl, I've seen you do infiltration at night clubs before. Don't fool your self Rose, beauty and class don't make the girl! And yes we are still on for tonight, Heero will be there though with out Relena, and it isn't MY house."

"Ok ok, what ever you say Trowa. What do you think about getting Quatre a kitten?"

"Kitten?"

"Yes."

There was a long pause.

"Yes, he needs an animal right now. A kitten would do very nicely."

"Ok, Rose out."
