Thanks to La-Longa, Mikito, Computer Geek Michelle, and Lady Snowblossom
for reviewing and convincing me to continue. This chapter takes place after
the war(s), just to let you know.
Also, there will be Yaoi/shounen ai in this story. Quatre/Trowa and maybe Heero/Duo. It won't be too big of a deal, or if it is, I will warn you. Promise.
Standard Disclaimers apply.

"ARRRRGGHH!"
"I take it that means you haven't found them?" asked Qautre, glancing up from his computer to where Duo was trying to melt his computer with his eyes alone.
"Obviously!" snapped Duo.
Quatre smiled to himself and went back to his own version of looking for Heero; playing solitaire.
See, when Heero didn't want to be found, there was really no point in looking for him.
Because you wouldn't find him.
After finishing his game (he won) he checked the clock and reached over to tap the furiously typing Duo on the shoulder.
"What?"
"That Concert you wanted to see should be coming on soon."
Duo checked the clock, and brightened up visibly. "You're right, let's go!"
He ran out the door and Quatre had to sprint to catch up.
"'Fei! 'Tro! Let's go!"
"What are you talking about Maxwell?" asked Wufei, walking in with Trowa right behind him.
The Gundam Pilots, minus Heero, had all been living in one of Quatre's mansion since the war. Actually, they had tried to split up for a while, but it just wasn't working. They were practically a family, and for all that they fought more then they talked, it worked pretty well. But it work better if the last member of the 'family', the leader, came and lived with them. Namely Heero. Unfortunately, they didn't even know if Heero was alive, much less where he lived. In fact, NOBODY knew where he was. Not even Relena.
"We're going to see Mai Celestial, remember?"
"Right, that baka whose songs you like so much." Wufei said as they walked out towards the car.
Though he would never, ever admit it, Wufei liked her songs too; in fact, they all did. Duo had gotten hooked when he heard her sing 'Flying without wings' that night during the war.
They were still confused as to why, whenever Heero heard her voice, he'd leave the room. The other's just left it alone, but Duo had started pestering Heero about it until Heero had pulled his gun on him and actually fired. He hadn't hit Duo, but it got his message across. Duo hadn't mentioned it since.
Finally they were all there, they walked in, got seats, etc. Duo yelled along with the rest of the crowd when she came on stage, Quatre clapped, Wufei humphed, and Trowa was . . . well, Trowa was Trowa.
Duo smiled as he heard one of his favorite song start up.
"EVERY SECOND, EVERY HOUR, AND MINUTE OF THE DAY
I GET THIS CRAZY HAZY FEELING, THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN
SOMETHIN' 'BOUT THE WAY YOU TALK, THE WAY YOU SMILE, THE WAY YOU MOVE
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I TRY, MY THOUGHTS KEEP COMING BACK TO YOU!"
The crowd had fallen silent when the music started, but Duo had the sensation he was being watched.
Without thinking about it he began scanning the crowd and room for whoever was watching them.
"YOUR LOVE IS TAKING OVER (IS TAKING OVER)
TAKING CONTROL OF ME (TAKING CONTROL)
AND I DON'T WANNA LOSE THE FEELING (DON'T LOSE THAT FEELING)
YOUR CHERRY CRUSH, CRUSHIN' ALL OVER ME"
Finally he spotted someone, standing in the rafters, hidden in the shadows.
The stance was familiar, but he couldn't, for the life of him figure out who it was. With a sigh he just tuned himself into the rest of the song.
"KISSES RUSH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
YOUR LOVE IS ALL I NEED
NEVER GET ENOUGH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
LIKE COMIN' ON TO ME
INSTANT TOUCH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
YOUR LOVE INSPIRES ME
GIVE ME SUCH A RUSH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
YOUR LOVE IS ALL I NEED
INTOXICATIN', MOTIVATIN', MAKE ME LOSE MY MIND
NEVER BE A ONE TIME THING, 'CUZ BOY I WANT YOU ALL THE TIME
THE WAY I FEEL WHEN I'M ALONE UP IN MY ROOM AT NIGHT
I WISH I SLEPT OUT OF MY DREAMS AND YOU COULD HOLD ME TIGHT
YOUR LOVE IS TAKING OVER (IS TAKING OVER ME)
TAKING CONTROL OF ME (TAKING CONTROL)
AND I DON'T WANNA LOSE THE FEELING (DON'T LOSE THAT FEELING)
YOUR CHERRY CRUSH, CRUSHIN' ALL OVER ME
KISSES RUSH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
YOUR LOVE IS ALL I NEED
NEVER GET ENOUGH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
LIKE COMIN' ON TO ME
INSTANT TOUCH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
YOUR LOVE INSPIRES ME
GIVE ME SUCH A RUSH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
YOUR LOVE IS ALL I NEED
KISSES RUSH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
YOUR LOVE IS ALL I NEED
NEVER GET ENOUGH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
LIKE COMIN' ON TO ME
INSTANT TOUCH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
YOUR LOVE INSPIRES ME
GIVE ME SUCH A RUSH, MY CHERRY CRUSH
YOUR LOVE IS ALL I NEED!"
Now that the song was over, Duo looked over at the Shadow again only to find it had vanished. Looking around for it he found it slipping onto the back of the stage, still in the shadows, holding a guitar.
"Alright peoples, I'm happy to say that I've found my brother again!"
Murmuring started popping up through out the crowd.
"And he's going to play for this song!" Mai was grinning.
They could only stare in shock as Heero walked out of the shadows, a small smile on his face, and holding a guitar. He sat down on a chair next her and began to play. Mai sat down on front of the piano that had been rolled out a few minutes ago. Both of them fixed their mikes' and began to play. Heero sang first.
"Dreams
As long as you know
It's not impossible
To make it a reality."
The Gundam pilots froze. Heero could SING!
"Oh dreams
Are always there for you
And always there for me
To reach as long as you and I believe" Mai sang, picking up from Heero as though they were the same person.
"I'm not just telling you
All of our dreams come true
As long as you just remember that I believe." Heero looked over at Mai as he said this, and as they watch their eyes met and the both smiled.
"Anything that I can do
I know that you can too
Don't you let anyone ever keep you from your dreams" Mai sang.
"You can do whatever you want
Don't ever turn away from your heart" Heero
"So make a wish on heaven
The stars will send you in the right direction
As long as you believe." Mai
"Dream
As long as you know
It's not impossible
To make it a reality" Heero
"Oh dreams
Are always there for you
And always there for me
To reach as long as you and I believe" Mai
"Don't ever think you can't
Don't ever think you have
Don't ever reach the future that you have left" Heero.
"Don't ever say there's no hope for you tomorrow
When you control the dreams that you've always known" Mai
"You can do whatever you want
Don't ever turn away from your heart" Heero
"So make a wish on heaven
The stars will send you in the right direction
As long as you believe" Mai
"Dream
As long as you know
It's not impossible
To make it a reality" Heero
"Oh dreams
Are always there for you
And always there for me
To reach as long as you and I believe" Mai
"There's no better place than where you are" Heero
"To reach for the sky" Mai
"You'll have the stars" Heero
"Whatever you want is available" Mai
"Just don't be afraid to dream" Heero
"Dream
As long as you know
It's not impossible
To make it a reality" Heero
"Oh dreams
Are always there for you
And always there for me
To reach as long as you and I believe" Mai
"Only you can dream you know
Eventually it will come to you
Anything you want if you believe
That you can have the stars, the moon" Heero sang softly. Everyone one in the audience could * feel * there words.
"Only you can dream you know
Eventually it will come to you
Anything you want if you believe
That you can have the stars, the moon" repeated Mai, her voice almost identical to Heero's.
Together, voices perfectly matched they sang, "Dream
As long as you know
It's not impossible
To make it a reality
Oh dreams
Are always there for you
And always there for me
To reach as long as you and I believe."
Slowly the music faded out, and the audience was left staring at these two teenagers who had, through a sing song, crept into their hearts some how and MADE them listen and MADE them believe.
Then the audience started clapping Heero and Mai stood up, bowed, and left the stage. The Gundam pilots were gone in a flash.
Duo frowned as he walked outside. Finally, Wufei asked one of the two things they all were thinking.
"What do we do now?"
"That depends" came a familiar voice from behind them, "on what you want to accomplish."
