Duo: And she's using it as a phone sex line! Just call 1-800-ROSE-SEX!

*********

"My name is Steven R. Winner, cousin of Quatre R. Winner. Now that my dear cousin is unable to see to running the Winner Corporation, I gladly accept the task and rise to the challenge. There will be no lay offs, Quatre thought you all to be competent workers and would not want a single one of you to lose your job due to the change of control.

"However, this does not mean you can 'slack off''. Please, I expect you to work just as hard, and just as good, as you did for my cousin. I promise to take good care of you all. Thank you."

Applause broke out, along with cheering and whistling. All of Quatre's employees were ecstatic. The brown eyed youth known as Steven R. Winner stepped down from the podium and off the stage. Off stage, his friends (minus Heero) were waiting. "What do you think? Was it successful?" He queried, and Duo slung an arm over his shoulder, ignoring Trowa's sudden scowl.

"Perfect! It went over great, right guys?"

Wu Fei gave Duo an irritated look before nodding somewhat admiringly at 'Steven', "It was a complete success. No one noticed." "Amazing what eye contacts do, eh?" Duo, of course, said that. Quatre laughed somewhat, and together, the four started towards the dance floor. The green eyed gentle giant (Trowa) stopped, however, at the edge of it and hesitantly took Quatre by the arm.

"What is it Trowa?" Quatre stopped and looked up at Trowa quizzically, Duo gritted his teeth, and Trowa tried his best to smile. "I need to talk to you, in private." Quatre nodded, and moved out from under Duo's arm to stand next to Trowa, "Is something wrong?" Duo cleared his throat, loudly, and ahemmed a few times to get Trowa's attention off of Quatre.

"If something's wrong, then me and Wu Fei here should go with. Don't you think, Wu Fei?"

Wu Fei was about to disagree when she realized Duo had used her name right, and so the Chinese girl looked at him carefully, even suspiciously. "Nothing's wrong." Trowa quickly amended, and scowled darkly at Duo, "I just have something private to talk to Quatre about." "Duo, please. If Trowa needs to talk to me alone, that's alright." Quatre smiled gently at Duo, who promptly crossed his arms over his chest and made a face, "Tch. Fine. I need to talk to you afterwards, at home though."

"I promise I'll talk to you at the mansion, Duo." Trowa and Duo glared at each other, but Quatre didn't notice. He was busy looking for a private area, and none seemed available. "Trowa, maybe we should talk upstairs in one of the guest rooms? I'm sure Steven won't mind." Quatre winked at Trowa, and blushing, the giant nodded, "Of course. Lead the way."

Duo gritted his teeth again and glared daggers at Trowa's back as the two musicians left. Wu Fei snickered and patted his shoulder, "This, from you? Maxwell, I'm shocked." "Shut up, Fei-ree." Duo snapped, smacking at Wu Fei's hand before he stomped off to sulk somewhere.

"Fei-ree? Fei.. Fairy?! Maxwell!" Growling, Wu Fei started to go after Duo when a soft hand touched her shoulder. "Wu Fei Chang? I haven't seen you since that week after the Eve Attack." The soft and familiar voice got her attention, and Wu Fei's cheeks colored slightly before she turned around. "Po."

Sally smiled warmly at the younger woman, and tilted her head to the side, "I haven't had the chance to thoroughly check out this mansion of Mr. Winner, would you mind giving me a tour?" She lifted her eyebrows as she said this, and Wu Fei all but gave her a goofy blushing red grin. "Of course, I'll show you where the guest bedrooms are first."

Across the room, sitting on a couch with his hand on the sleeping Yumeko's shoulder, a black haired Heero look alike watched his surroundings carefully through dark blue glazed eyes. Yumeko fidgeted and made soft little noises of grief. The man leaned down and gently lifted her up into his arms, while whispering something smoothly into her ear. She fell silent, and he laid her back down on the couch. Discreetly, he tucked a piece of folded paper into her obi and left.

Moments later, the real Heero appeared at Yumeko's side and his lips twitched a bit. He tenderly touched her cheek with his slightly smiling lips, and then looked around to find the others. Duo caught his gaze, and waved. Surprised, Heero went to go join him by the punchbowl, which he was certain the braided pilot had spiked, and get a bit drunk.

*****

The next morning, Heero woke up to a warm bed and a horrible pain in his head. Grimacing, he struggled to sit up and toss the blankets off himself only to get grabbed by a firm hot steely hand. He growled softly, and then winced, that hurt his head, a lot. The hand tugged and Heero fell back weakly into the bed and against a solid wall of muscles. Why was he so tired? He was . exhausted, and sore all over. Moreover, why the hell was someone in his bed?

Bands of hot steel wrapped around him and held him securely against the wall of muscle, while the someone nuzzled his hurting neck. "What's going on?" Heero managed to grit out through his teeth, trying to ignore the pain in his head. "Shh." His captor whispered softly, and the voice was so soft it didn't hurt. But. that voice. "Holy shit!" Heero shouted at the top of his lungs, leaping from within the confines of those arms, and out of the bed.

What he saw. he never thought he'd ever see. and he wasn't sure if he was disgusted or attracted by it.

*****

Heero: O.O!!! I slept with a guy!?

Duo: Please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me. -whimper whine cringe-

Quatre: Who is it?

Rose: I'm not telling you. Trowa: ..

Rose: Anyone ever tell ya what you're most like Trowa?

Trowa: ..

Rose: Exactly. A fart. Silent, but deadly.

Trowa: V//.-() .

Wu Fei: Well I know it's not me.

Duo: -Nudge nudge.- We all know where you were last night, Fei-ree.

Yumeko: e.e; Daddy. what's going on?

Heero: o.o; Go back to bed, Yumeko.

Kuro: Eh. Come on Yumeko, let's leave these rainbows and go off to Dream Land.

Yumeko: 0.0;;

Sally: Anyone seen Fei?

Wu Fei: .;; Right here.

Sally: ^0^ I've got sake and silk!

Wu Fei: I'm sold! ^0^

Lucrezia: @.@ I'm scared.

Miliardo: We're working with the funny type.

Rose: Hehe. Come on people, spread the love! And, let's leave the story here. I've already got the couples set, and you won't believe who is with who!!

Crisis: May the deities of the Mother Board save us. -Little icon of a girl praying.-
