An: Hello all! I promised I'd have it up soon, so here it is.

"Wow, this is....different..." Relena mused looking at the scenery. There were tiki torches everywhere outside the restaurant. Brigg's certainly wasn't your run-of-the-mill place. The front doors were strands of bright green, pink, blue, yellow, and orange beads, and inside was just as colorful. The tables were bamboo with striped tablecloths. "Pink and orange..."

"I like the blue and green, myself." Hilde replied, looking around, all smiles.

"Hey babes! Glad you made it!" The blonde approached them once more.

"Hey!" Hilde seemed a little too enthused for Relena's likings.

"C'mon, there's even a pool out back!" And pool there was. The deep end was fifteen feet deep. Even in its size, though, it was packed with people. "See? Narly, huh?"

"Yeah..." Relena mumbled, eyes wandering about. –Just a little while. Hilde said we didn't have to stay. –

"Hello, hello, hello!" Relena's head shot up, looking for where the booming voice was coming from. "Hey everybody! Thanks for coming to our beach blowout tonight! As you all know the highlight of the night is our mask-key- rade! That means, everybody grab one of these lovely masks and get ready to part-tay!"

"Oh no...Maybe we should go. We've showed up, so we can leave."

"No! This should be fun! It's like playing dress up!" Hilde smiled wide as she could.

–Her smile looks more and more like Duo's every day–

-------

"Why on Earth did Hilde tell us to come here?" Heero grumbled, grimacing at all the bright colors.

"I don't know. I think she said something about surfers."

"Hn."

"Hello, hello, hello! Hey everybody! Thanks for coming to our beach blowout tonight! As you all know the highlight of the night is our mask-key-rade! That means, everybody grab one of these lovely masks and get ready to part- tay!"

"C'mon, buddy, lets go grab a mask." Duo nudged him.

"I don't do masks."

"But he said..."

"I don't...do...masks..."

"You want to make this work?"

"No."

Duo sighed. –This is hopeless! It is purely hopeless! I should have told Hilde we were going home. –

"Where are they?"

"What!?!"

"Where are the damn masks..."

"Right this way!" Duo smiled. –He amazes me from time to time...–

------

"Isn't his one cute?" Hilde held up a green mask covered in foil.

"I think this one fits you better" Relena slipped a silver Boheme' style mask adorned with three layers of red frilly fabric around the edges on Hilde's head.

"Well then you have to have this one!" Hilde placed a lilac mask with silver glitter around the outline of her eyes, and three pink feathers sticking up out of the top right corner.

"These are stupid..." Hilde heard Heero's voice.

"No, c'mon man!" Then Duo's.

"C'mon Relena, let's go over here..." She tugged at her arm.

"Why...?" Relena cocked a brow at her.

"I think I see some lovely things to eat, and I think it's FREE!" Relena sighed and let Hilde drag her away.

"How do I look?" Duo popped on a rather average-shaped mask, but what made it stand out was the coloring. It was green, orange, pink, yellow, and black, separated into diamonds with white lines. He looked very much like the jester he was.

"Hn."

"Ok, buddy! Your turn!" Duo went to grab a grey mask shaped like a cat's face, but Heero picked one up himself. It was a black zorro mask.

"At least it's plain."

"Great choice! Now off to find the girls!"

"You mean you don't know where they are?"

"Well, no..."

"And you don't know what they're wearing, do you?"

"No..."

"And now to top it off they're wearing masks."

"Well yeah, but..."

-You have got to be the stupidest undercover detective in the entire world.-

"Don't worry, buddy, we'll find 'em in no time!"

"Hn."

------

– Heero, oh Heero, I wish you were here. No, No I don't! But I do... Oh I just want to go to sleep! At least I can't make rational decisions in my sleep. I can just let the world be how I want it to be. Peaceful, happy...and with Heero...– "Hilde, I'm not really hungry." Relena's smiled faded. "It has been fun, but maybe we should go."

–She was smiling! She looked happy! Now, she looks like she did last night....I wonder what happened last night. – "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"All right then..." –We have the rest of the week. If she's tired, let her rest.– They walked together slowly toward the door, but a man with a multi- colored mask stopped them.

"Good evening ladies!" He spoke with a fake British accent.

"Good evening sir, but we were just leaving." Relena said politely.

"Really? Pity! We are about to have a little competition!" He smiled widely.

–Shute! It's Duo! – Hilde's eyes grew wide, but she covered herself well. "What kind of a competition?"

"Hilde, I thought-"

"I'm glad you asked, pretty miss! You see that gentleman over there?" He pointed to where Heero leaned against a wall.

"Yes." Hilde grinned back, but Relena nearly frowned.

"He is judging every lady in the room to see just who is the best kisser, and whoever wins gets a date with him."

"Well, that sounds fun!" Hilde nudged Relena, but she did not move.

"And that's not all. This man isn't just ANY man, no, he is someone quite special, but I cannot say who. He will reveal exactly WHO he is on his date. Just let me tell you, he is a very impressive person."

"Really?" –C'mon Relena! Bite! Bite! –

"No thank you." Relena turned and walked out of the restaurant.

Hilde sighed and shook her head. "Oh well..."

"Tried your best, babe."

"We have four days left..."

"Five!"

"No, we leave at 7:30 that morning..."

"We leave at noon..."

"Does Heero know yet?" She glanced back at him.

Duo swallowed. –You should just tell her. This is hopeless now anyway. – "No..."

"Good, neither does Relena, but after last night, I was sure they'd suspect."

"Last night?" His eyes were wide.

"At the club."

"Oh...yeah..."

"And something else..."

"What?" He jumped.

"Nothing. I don't even know what it is, but Relena was awful upset last night for some reason."

"Heero wasn't home until three."

"Maybe they met up...?"

"Maybe...."

"Maybe..."

Special Thanks:

Swords-Babe – I'm glad you think they guys are hott, they were supposed to be. Lol. Thanks for the review.

Hououza – You think you've got it all figured out? You may have some, but I think I may have you fooled on a little. Let me know if I'm right as the story unfolds.

Wing – Nope, they didn't crash, but they did show up. You just wait and see what Heero's got up his sleeve, and no, it wasn't his idea to be in a kissing contest. Thankfully, Duo didn't have to fish himself out of that one. Thanks for the review!

JK – Wow! Thanks so much for all the reviews! I'm so glad you like it!

GP-HY-PSLRV – Thanks! I'll have them us soon.

SakuraxHimura – Heero's planning great revenge. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reviewing!
