WARNING: There will be Relena bashing for a while! A good long while! And I SUCK at writing about romance. I've never even been on a date, so all I got is the voices in my head to give advice on how to write that fluff. If ya don't like, tough cookies! My fic anyways! =P Shouldn't be too bad though.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The triple date had gone off pretty well as far as anyone was concerned. The girls had shown up slightly early wearing their new outfits.

Duo had shown up dragging Trowa, who, once he saw Makoto, didn't need to be dragged any further.

Heero, after looking around to make sure Relena wasn't there, walked in with Minako by his side.

Ami and Duo watched the two other couples and grinned.

"Don't you think they look cute together Ames?" Duo had asked her.

Ami smiled and nodded in return as she and Duo made their way in to sit with the others.

The music was loud, but overly so. It was in fact, one of the best types of clubs there were. Minako knew her stuff. There wasn't and music that was a constant string of cursing or vulgarity, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

That is, except for Heero. He kept looking over his shoulders every few seconds.

Finally Minako got annoyed with his nervousness and asked him flat out what was bothering him.

"Hnn"

"Come on buddy, you should spill!" Duo egged.

Heero stared straight ahead. "Relena was following me today" he said bluntly.

Every one started looking around. Except for Minako.

"Well! That's good then! Remember what I told you Heero? Girl sees you on a date, if she has any sense she'll leave you alone from now on!" she chirped.

"Mina-chan" Ami began, "Relena has no sense at all."

Minako looked slightly unnerved. "Not good!"

"Nope" Makoto agreed.

"Ah well! We'll keep you safe form her anyway Heero!" Minako bubbled blithely. "Hnn......thanks" Heero replies.

Duo's jaw hit the floor. "Did Heero just 'Thank' someone?"

Heero glared at Duo while the others chuckled.

Their meals were brought out not a minute after Duo's jaw drop. And the food was delicious. Even Makoto was impressed.

After dinner was polished off, Duo has asked Ami to dance.

Ami waved to her friends from her spot on the dance floor...in Duo's arms.

Duo was happy to be dancing with the one girl in the world who he felt he could give his whole heart to. He could, and did tell her everything and she understood. That, along with her natural innocence made her the perfect girl to him.

Momentarily forgetting everything in her life, Ami was content just to dance in Duo's arms. But there was a thought that had been nagging at her. It was preventing her from fully relaxing in Duo's warm arms.

'Am I really immortal? I think I need to talk to Pluto about that.'

Ami now dismissed that thought to be looked upon on another day and relaxed and enjoyed dancing in Duo's arms. 'This feels so right...' she murmured in her own mind.

While Duo and Ami were dancing, Makoto and Minako were trying to get their dates on the dance floor.

When it became apparent that they guys weren't going to budge, they shrugged and went to dance with each other.

Moments later, both women had guys surrounding them asking for a dance, or just plain hitting on them.

Minako seemed to not pay any attention to it, but Makoto was unnerved by all the attention.

Thankfully, the guys, maybe out of jealousy, finally got on the dance floor and shooed the other guys away.

With a glad smile on her face, Makoto grabbed Trowa's arm and dragged him into the mass of dancers.

Minako had also grabbed onto Heero and led him further into the crowd, but she wasn't going to make him dance if he really didn't want to.

In fact, she was just trying to hide him from the newest person in the club. A girl with long dark blond hair in prep style clothes that were long out of fashion.

Minako pulled Heero over to where Ami and Duo were dancing, intent on having her thought confirmed with out alerting her date.

Pulling Ami aside claiming to need a girl chat, Minako hauled Ami off just far enough away to have her suspicions confirmed.

When Ami claimed Duo for another dance, she let him know what was going on.

Duo's face looked slightly panicked. "Aw, Man! She is the one thing that could ruin a perfect evening like this!" He complained.

Ami grinned. "IT won't be ruined Duo, all we need to do is keep her away from Heero and not let him know she's here. Mina-chan's having too much fun!"

Duo nodded. "Yeah. And it's a shock to see soldier boy on a dance floor. I think he's enjoying himself there!"

Both he and Ami chuckled.

Unfortunately, Relena caught a glimpse of Heero dancing with Minako.

With a screech, she charged the both of them and pushed Minako to the ground.

"OW!" Minako cried out before looking up at her assailant. When she caught sight of who it was, the goddess of love decided to switch sides with Mars.

Minako growled and grabbed the earth princess's arm and roughly dragged her out side. No point in interrupting the other dancers.

Ami and Duo, as well as Makoto and Trowa had noticed the commotion and had left on Minako's heels. It was going to be a nasty night.

Once outside and out of the way, Minako laid into Relena.

"How DARE you push me!" Minako shouted at the other blonde.

Relena, stubborn as well as being incredibly stupid, argued back. "Well! How DARE you dance with someone else's boyfriend!"

Steam began rising from the irate blondes' heads.

Minako snapped back "Since when is it a crime to dance with a friend?!?"

Hearing this statement, Heero felt the tiniest bit of disappointment. Maybe Minako didn't like him after all. Then again, she never said that she did.

Not one to let a friend down, Ami stepped up next to Ami and became the target of the next screech that came from the spoiled girl.

"YOU! You had something to do with this didn't you! And to think I let you stay with me!"

Upon hearing her accusations, Ami started to get irate.

"LOOK HERE YOU SPOILED SELFISH BRAT! I have had enough of your harpy's screeching! One: I wasn't staying with you! I was staying with your brother! Two: How dare you stalk one of my friends! You could be arrested for that! Three: How Dare you push and then yell at one of my friends! If she likes him and vise versa, then so be it! Stay the hell away from them!"

Ami was breathing heavily after her tirade. And everyone was staring at her in wonder.

Except for Relena. She looked indignant. "How DARE you speak to me like that! I was Queen of the Earth!"

Ami looked at her with barely held in check contempt. "Former" Ami said in a low, dangerous voice. "Meaning that you are not queen anymore and therefore we are no longer any of your business!"

Ami whirled on her heels and motioned for her friends to follow her.

Minako and Heero stayed outside for a moment longer.

"I actually do like him" Minako whispered to Relena just loud enough so Heero could hear.

Heero, in shock that Minako really DID like him, let himself be led back inside.

Relena was left standing in shock as everyone went back into the club.

Makoto was the first to speak. Her voice was full of anger at the idiotic one. "How stupid can one person be?"

Ami sighed and said nothing. Instead she leaned into Duo's arms seeking comfort, which he gladly gave to his blue haired goddess.

They sat in silence for half an hour, not saying anything that would lead to an explosion on anger.

When the anger had subsided, they had decided to call it a night.

The three couples split to go in three different directions. Each escorting their date home.

Heero, still in shock, took Minako home.

Trowa, amused at the happenings of the night, walked with Makoto.

Ami and Duo headed back to the apartment building where they both lived.

Ami, at her door, turned suddenly and flung her arms around Duo before kissing him soundly on the lips.

"What was that for?" Duo asked, blushing slightly.

Ami grinned. "The flower and the note and for the hell of it."

When Duo got home he was grinning like an idiot.

The next day, while Ami and Duo were sifting through more old machine parts, they also talked about payback on Relena.

Ami grinned as Duo rattled on about his list of pranks.

All she had to do was pick out what ones would be appropriate and feasible.

Ami nodded at some, rejected more, and suggested a few of her own.

By the end of the day, they had come up with the perfect solution.

"All we have to do now is let the others in on it, and that includes Millardo."

Duo looked at Ami in surprise. "Do we have to?"

Ami grinned. "Yes we do! I promised that if I was ever going to prank, or help prank his sister, then I would let him in on the fun."

Duo looked surprised and a little gleeful. "So he WANTS to have his sister pranked?"

Ami grinned mischievously. "Just because he's her brother, doesn't mean he likes her. It just means that he's got to put up with her."

Duo pondered for half a second. "Poor guy" he muttered feeling deep sympathy for Millardo.

Ami laughed. "Indeed! Now let's finish up here and get on the phone to let the others know ASAP!"

A half hour later, Ami put down the phone and stretched. She had called, Minako, Makoto, Millardo, Trowa and Heero.

And they all wanted to help.

Millardo would put a sleeping pill in his sister's drink so once she was sleeping; she wouldn't wake up for the next eight hours guaranteed.

Heero would make sure the cameras wouldn't catch them.

Trowa would make sure everything was hidden when they were done.

Makoto, Minako, Duo and Ami herself would set up the booby traps.

Ami grinned at the wall. 'Let the games begin!'
