An: Wow! You guys have no idea how much encouragement you give me. So, here I am, with another chappie, longer, and hopefully you like it.

Ch. 5 – The Show Must Go On
Hilde shook Relena's shoulders for the fourth time. She had never known Rel to sleep so soundly or be hard to wake, but this morning, she seemed to be both. "Relena Peacecraft! It's All ready noon and you can't sleep forever!!!!"
"Huh?" Relena opened one eye and peered at Hilde. She was dressed in a red bikini top, denim shorts with her red bikini strings hanging out the sides, and brown shades on her head. There was also a spot on her nose where she had failed to rub sun tan lotion in completely.
"It is twelve o' five! As in PM! You've all ready slept all morning, and if we don't get to it soon, we'll miss all afternoon."
"Afternoon starts at one." Relena said pulling the covers over her head.
"Afternoon started AFTER NOON, which was five minutes ago! So get up and get moving!!!" Hilde pulled the covers completely off her, and they flew across the room. Hilde smirked at her, pleased at the glare Relena gave her. –She's getting good at glaring like him, but not good enough to scare ME. –
"Fine," Relena grumbled, grabbed one of her bags, and headed off to the bathroom.
"Today is going to be a great day," Hilde smiled, plopping down on the bed and flipping on the TV. She knew it would be a while before Relena re- emerged.
------
"Can I come back in yet?" Duo yelled from outside the door of their hotel room.
"Nope." Heero smiled. He rarely smiled, but this was a special occasion. He had made the god of death confess his diabolical plot, grovel on his hands and knees for forgiveness, pay his 'buddy' to be spared his life, and then, be kicked out of the room in nothing but his boxer shorts. He had now been outside begging to be let back inside for eight hours.
"I see salvation! Maid! Maid!" Duo ran toward a stout looking native girl in a dull grey dress with a white apron on top. "I seem to have locked myself out. Can you let me back inside?"
"You want what?" She asked in confusion, looking him over and over, then smiling.
Duo looked at the woman strangely. "I want back in my room! See, my buddy locked me out, and now I can't get back in. So, you've got the key that unlocks everything. You have to clean the room. See, that one." He pointed to the second little blue door. "Can you let me in?"
"Oh! Yes, yes!" She took out a little key and slipped it in, then turned the nob. "Good?"
"Thank you!" He said and zipped back inside.
"It took you eight hours, 3 minutes, and 24 seconds to realized all you had to do was ask for a key." Heero muttered flatly as he stared out the door.
"That long? Man, I'm getting worse!" Duo scratched his head, then looked at Heero. "Am I still on the chopping block?"
"As of now, no, but don't push it." Heero was fully satisfied with the extra three fifty in his pocket, all Duo had on him at the time, and seeing the look on his face after being glared at by a fifty year old maid.
"I guess that means we're going home, huh?" Duo sighed, knowing he had lost. There was no reason to fight it now.
"Not just yet..."
------
"C'mon Relena!" Hilde called, beating on the door. "Nothing is THAT BAD."
"Yes! It is! Hilde, you can't imagine how terrible this thing is on me." –C'mon, just do it. She'll shut up if you just wear it. So what if it is a little revealing. –
"It's pink! You love pink."
"It barely covers enough to be called clothing." Relena sighed. String bikinis were not her thing. One piece, figure fitting, perhaps halter topped bathing suits, those were appropriate, but Hilde wanted her to be more hip, less appropriate.
"Relena! I'm going to break the door down in you don't let me in!"
Relena opened the door and stood there covering her breasts with her arms. "I don't like it."
Hilde shook her head. –She looks great in it! – Yes, it was a string bikini, medium pink with hot pink polka dots, and her white cloth skirt which reached halfway to her knee looked perfect with it. "Why don't you like it?"
"Look at it!"
"I am! All I see is how hott you look, girl!" Hilde nudged her, but she stood, glaring at herself fiercely. "You're beautiful in it. Trust me."
"Oh yeah, like I trusted you with that awful thing last night..." –Last night, oh gosh...I don't EVER want to think about last night again–
"Well, that was a little overboard. This, this is normal." –And you look awesome! –
"Ok, but from now on, I'm picking my own clothes out."
"Yes mam!"
--------
"So you're actually going to go ALONG with the plan?" Duo asked, shaking his head in disbelief.
"No, I'm going to make you pay dearly." It was almost a smile. Two smiles in one day, a record. "You are not to tell Hilde I know. You two do whatever you had planned to do, or at least she will, but YOU, I control you now."
"Heh, maybe we SHOULD just go home." Duo smiled nervously.
"Oh no, this is too good of an opportunity just to pass up."
"Exactly..." Duo sighed. His life was history.
"Now, what did you two have planned for today?"
"Beach."
"Then off to swim trunk land we go...joy..."
–Maybe we haven't lost all hope yet. –
------
"Look, Relena, surfers!" Hilde giggled and waved at two boys with surfboards under their arms. One had shaggy blonde hair, the other, neatly cut brunette. Both had green eyes and nice tans. The looked as though they'd stepped straight out of a teen magazine.
Relena blushed and pushed the white tote in front of herself, so as to cover herself from their view. –Why am I so self-conscious? I should live a little! Be wild, crazy! No...I couldn't...I shouldn't...–
"Hey pretty ladies" The blonde addressed them.
"Hi" Hilde chirped cheerfully.
"Hello." Relena smiled at them, and the brunette gave her a wink. She tried not to blush or giggle. –Did he wink at ME? –
"There's like a big thing going on tonight, me and my bud here were wondering if you chicks would like to maybe come for a while." He was a smooth talker, and the other seemed not to be a talker at all.
"Sure, what kind of a thing?"
"Just a ya-know, thing, like a party."
–Just what I need, another party– Relena smiled fake enthusiasm. –Be more outgoing. Be more happy. Be more Hilde! –
–Perfect, Duo, change of plans. – "Great! Time?"
"Six, lasts till whenever, so come when ya can."
"Six is good for us, right?" Hilde gave her a reassuring glace, and Relena nodded.
"Awesome! See you there."
"Where?" –Man this guy is definitely a blonde...–
"Oh, yeah, Brigg's. It's a big place, downtown, can't miss it."
"Great, see you tonight."
"Narly! Catch ya later!" They walked on down the beach, smiling all the while.
"Are we really GOING to that?" Relena asked cautiously. –If she says 'yes' sound excited. If she says 'no' blow it off. Please, say no–
"Sure! Why not? If you don't like it, we'll go. Least we can do is pop in. We don't have to see THEM." She got a sly smile. "Unless you wanted to..."
"Oh no! I mean, going is great, but no..." Relena sighed. –I don't want to see anyone but Heero. No! Shute! Think of the brunette guy. His name is probably David or Robbie or Bryan or....Heero....no! –
"Something wrong?"
"No! I mean, no, nothing's wrong. It sounds great."

An: Well, you're in for a treat at the party. I'll have that up ASAP. For now, I hope you liked this slightly longer chappie.
Special Thanks:
Swords-Babe – Thanks so much for the review. And yeah, Heero scares me a bit too...
Wing – Yes, Heero is stupid, but he would never admit that to anyone but himself. And don't worry, Relena will get cheered up soon. Thanks for the review.
Naitheas – Thanks so much. I'm glad you like the story.
