A/N: Wow, I'm finally back! I haven't written in this in how long? 300 years or so? That's what I thought. Well, I'm back in business, taking a tiny break from my Interview with Stardom story as I wait for ff.net to post the latest chapter, as well as for you people to tell me who to interview next. Thank you, minna-san!

Peach: Though it isn't THE most creative hour of the night (which is 2:00 a.m, remember?) it's pretty darn close to thinking time. Let's hit the show!

"Quatre...?" Heero said in a dismal voice that echoed across the nearly empty room.

Quatre looked up from his spot on the couch. He could see the worry lifting into the eyes of the boy who had spoken. "Yeah, Heero?" Quatre could guess what the subject was about, though not wanting to rush it upon the already nerve-wrecked Heero.

"It's about Duo.... I'm really worried, I definitly think something happened to him. It's been quite a few hours since his mission. Do you...do you think I should go after him?" His gaze was to the floor, and he was lightly blushing at the fact of revealing emotions to another comrade.

Quatre sighed. "I don't know, Heero. Knowing Duo he could be out eating burritoes and chips, or perhaps he was caught. Either way, he may think we don't find him trustworthy if we go searching for him. He's a tricky soul; you have to play your cards right."

"Duo isn't likely to munch down this long on useless food products. What if he's in trouble? I'm....I'm starting to worry."

"Duo's whole life is trouble, all of ours are. As I said before, you need to do things logically. Don't just throw yourself in front of a car to save a soccer ball."

Heero gave him a puzzled look. Quatre sighed deeply. "Heero, what I'm trying to say is make your desicion with a cool head. And always remember what your elders told you." With that, Quatre lifted himself up from from the comfy furniture, picked up his book, and left.

"My......elders.......?"

Duo snapped open his eyes instantly. His stomach felt as if it were a volcano erupting and spilling lava all over his insides. He groaned and wrapped both hands around it, trying to squeeze the pain away.

"Duo? What's wrong, honey?" He heard Commander Shar's voice say. "Are you okay?"

Duo let out a slight gasp as he tried to keep his tears from falling. I-it hurts so bad! He squeezed his stomach harder. "M-make it...go away....please...!" Was all he could mutter. His breathe quickened.

Commander Shar gasped and snatched the phone from the hook. "Get some doctors in here, quick!" She said quickly before snapping it back down on the reciever. "Duo, Duo! It's going to be okay. Duo!" Shar exclaimed, rushing down to the boy as he collapsed onto his side.

"Please....it hurts so bad...please....make it stop..." Duo choked out, unable to keep in his tears of agony any longer. The crystal droplets wicked down his cheek as he gasped for air again. "Please......" He glanced into Commander Shar's eyes for a fleeting second, pain, misery, and helplessness reflected on the shiny surface of his eyes.

Commander Shar looked at him with concern flooding her eyes. "Coming through, coming through!" The paramedics shouted, entering the office in a flurry. "Excuse me, please back up, Commander."

The commander did as she was asked as the docor quickly examined the helpless boy. He gave a small tsk and called someone on a radio to bring a strencher.

"He's in bad shape. I think it might be food poisoning, but it may be a harsh allergic reaction to food. I'm not positive it's either of those two, but that's what it looks like." The doctor told Commander Shar, standing up from his kneeling position. The strecher came moments later, and he helped his companion lift Duo onto it.

"Please let me know of anything you might find right away!" She called to their retreating backs. The office door gave a tiny click to signify it was closed, and Sabriel Shar toppled onto the couch where the young boy had just been sleeping peacefully minutes earlier. She rubbed her face with a shaking hand and let out a small sob. "What have I done...?"



Megatokyo Seraphim: So? How's that for not writing this for awhile? I think it's the most exciting chapter yet. Heck, MY stomach hurt while writing it, but that's because I'm a very empathetic person. It's like I have the same injury as the person who really has it. It doesn't always come to my aid, I'll tell you that. Ow, pain....

Peach: Booyah! Hopefully M.S can write more chapters on this fic soon! I really like this one, and M.S want to finish this one before starting her new GW fic "An Angel's Crystal Tears". PLEASE review, you would not believe how much that means to some authors! It's the only reason M.S gets up in the morning- to see the readers' reaction and coomments! We serve to please, so please review!
