Heero stumbled out the door , at a loss for words. The next door , number 87 belonged to an old woman the locals called 'Granny of the north' , also known as Faaron Listasha was the land lady of most of the people in the building. Now Heero lingered at the door , examining the number. He then spun around and walked back towards his car , leaving the door 87 and Rachel and Lillian's apartment 86. Behind the door stood Faaron , who was the only woman who noticed that Rachel looked like someone they knew and remembered what she looked like before she dyed her hair. She even had pictures of the move in and her blonde hair , despite Rachel's protests that the camera adds ten pounds. Driving down the street , Heero left the one woman who could have told him Relena's whereabouts , oblivious.

"Hey Heero , you look like you just won a million bucks!" Duo said in the american accent he picked up two months earlier in California .

"Why would you say that?" he said , cheeks burning nonetheless in the dim lighting.

"You found Relena, didn't you?" Duo said , standing up , staring Heero in the eyes.

"Not exactly...." he replied , avoiding the glaring blue orbs.

"I don't believe you Heero! How could you be so stone hearted and just fall in love with some hic town girl while we're on the search for Relena?! Look at yourself! You disappeared for two years just to humanize yourself for her , and you're giving up already!" Duo said , nearly yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Duo-" he began.

"No Heero!I don't believe that you could do something like that!Not to Relena , she was always following you for years through battlefields even , and you suddenly decide to fall in love with a local hic town girl?!I-" Duo said , his eyes flashing violently as he was cut off.

"DUO!She not just some hic town girl! She's the sign that we should stop looking for Relena!She obviously left all those false trails if she doesn't want to be found! I really like this girl , even more so than Relena , so why don't you let go of the past and give up?!" Heero replied , tempered by Duo's unusual outbursts. Duo took staggering breaths , and leaned against the wall nearby , holding a hand over his eyes. Heero's hand went to his mouth. More than Relena? The girl he disappeared for two years to be with her and regain his emotions for?!Queen Relena Peacecraft , who followed him even through dangerous battlefields and served their country greatly in the war? Duo sat on a bed , hands still over his eyes , breathing finally steady.

"Heero , you can forget about Relena because you were unsure on whether you loved her , but the difference between you and me is that Relena was my friend. I won't just search for one whole year to stop searching just because you decide you like some other girl. I won't give up on my friends , and if it takes a week in solitude to realise what you really want , then I'll just move to a different hotel room," Duo said calmly. Eyes still below his cap , he walked away , and started to pack away his clothes into a suitcase with stickers from California on the top. Heero sighed inwardly , knowing after traveling with Duo for a year that he wasn't going to budge even if he tried to talk to Duo.
