Crazychickie4life: Hello everybody! I'm still here….hopefully I have not been forgotten! - . Nah I'm sure I haven't…heehee. Well, I won't bore you with any sob stories, so read on!

Chapter 9: Fat! And not the P-H kind.

"Duo wake up now!" a voice disturbed him from his sleep.

"Mmmm" Duo replied as he brought the blankets closer to his body and ignored the voice.

"Duo now!" the voice prodded. 'When were they going to give up?' He wondered.

"Duo I mean it, you get up now or I swear that I'll….." Hilde left it hanging for his own imagination to decipher.

Duo ignored her still and brought his pillow over his head. Finally, he heard Hilde's footsteps retreat from their bedroom, Duo sighed thinking she had given up, and continued his attempts to fall asleep again.

How unbelievably wrong he was. Hilde had never been one to give up that easily. For instance, there had once been a time where she had wanted the t.v. remote from him. Duo being the television hog that he was, simply would not allow her to take what was rightfully his, so he promptly refused. Hilde of course did not appreciate his choice of action, so she had literally sat on him and nearly cut off his air supply because she refused to leave until he gave her the remote. Duo of course, was stubborn and did not give it up. After all he was a gundam pilot, did he surrender to the enemy when he was under fire? He couldn't help but try and defeat Hilde in this game because his pilot instincts inside were forbidding him to give in. So, he had sat, purple faced from the lack of oxygen, and held up as best as he could. Of course, as is natural for any living breathing thing, he eventually lost all oxygen and passed out….Hilde was a tough cookie to convince. So when he had woken up less then a minute later, he found himself tied up in a corner of the room, gagged and the remote no longer in his possession.

He loved Hilde very much, but he wasn't sure if he should be grateful for her persistent nature, or afraid of it. Right now however, he was scared.

Hilde had enough with Duo, he was getting on her nerves already. Why wouldn't he give into her simple requests? Why did he always take the hard way out and face the consequences?

Hilde sighed as she brought the bucket of ice cold water over his head, and not to politely dumped it over him.

"Out of bed NOW" Hilde ordered, then left the room.

At this point, Duo would say he had gotten the message. Slowly getting up, he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, and wondered why it only felt as if he had slept for a few hours. Turning towards the alarm clock sitting on the dresser in the far corner of the room, his question was answered for him. It read 3:25 a.m.

"Just great!" yawned an annoyed Duo.

He slumped his way to the bathroom, and quickly towel dried himself off , his hair still a tad bit damp, thanks to Hilde. He then proceeded back to his bedroom, grabbed a t-shirt and pulled it over himself, and slipped on a pair of loose pants.

Looking at his bed that seemed to be screaming 'Come to me!', he sighed and walked down the stairs. "This had better be good" Duo muttered under his breath.

Meanwhile with Relena

Relena entered the five star hotel, and stormed over to the counters.

"I would like a room please" Relena briskly stated.

"For one miss Relena?" the clerk asked, still remembering her name from when she was foreign minister.

"Yes"

"would you like a view of the ocean?"

"Yes"

"Would you care for a Jacuzzi tub?"

Relena was beginning to grow impatient. "Yes please, just give me the most expensive room you have available."

"Right away miss. Would that be cash, credit or debit?"

"Credit" Relena handed over one of Heero's credit cards. The clerk ran it through and called a bellboy.

"Show this lady to her room, and carry her bags as well, she deserves special attention" The clerk winked at Relena, and she tried her best not to give him a disgusted look.

The bellboy, a handsome blonde, carried her one small traveling suit case, and led her to the elevator. They then journeyed up to her floor in silence, which Relena was grateful for. She did not feel like talking to anyone at the moment.

"Here we are miss, room 256" The bellboy opened the door . He carried her baggage inside and before leaving, Relena tucked a 20 dollar bill in his shirt pocket and smiled.

"For you troubles" she said.

"No trouble at all Miss Relena, if you need anything, you can ask for me at the front desk and I'll be here in an instant. My name is Tod"

"Well thank you Tod" Relena graced him with a genuine smile, and then shut the door as he left the room.

Staring around the en suite bedroom, she pouted and began putting away her clothes in the walk in closet. Then, as she began picking the first piece of clothing out to put away, thought better of it and slammed it shut, deciding a warm bath would be much more suitable.

Relena waltzed over to the bathroom and began filling the tub. She poured the full contents of the complimentary fancy bubble bath into the steamy water, and found the room service menu very interesting as she sat on its ledge, awaiting the bath to fill.

"hmm…what should I choose?" she wondered aloud. "I know" Relena had a type of look on her face that men would find sexy, yet intimidating all at once. The kind of look that was bordering on dangerous and yet lingering on feisty. One may sum it up into one word, or rather a symbol…..the devil. Relena now displayed what is commonly known as the devilish glare.

Walking out of the bathroom, she stripped along the way. She was a woman with her intentions programmed into her memory, unforgettable and flawless. She was a woman that knew what she was about to do, acted as if she had done it many times. She was armed and ready.

Picking up the phone, she punched in the numbers to room service with dainty fingers. Agitated that it was taking a while to get through, she blew out a sigh.

"Good evening, room service how may we help you" a young woman's voice came on the phone line…..she couldn't quite put a finger on it, but that voice sounded familiar. Staring at the phone, she froze up for a few moments…long enough that the woman repeated her line, undoubtedly thinking the person on the other end of the phone had not heard her. Coming to her sentence, Relena remembered her task.

"Yes, I would like to order a few things"

"Go ahead miss"

"I would like a slice of your chocolate moose cake, a fruit and chocolate fondue, a slice of strawberry and vanilla cake, butter pecan ice cream, and a bottle of your finest white wine."

"Alright miss, may I ask what room you are currently staying in?" The woman seemed a tad suspicious as to why Relena was ordering such a large amount of deserts at…. 3:30 in the morning. But, as a person merely working at the hotel, they had no right to ask such a personal question, or else they risked either suspension or a good old firing. Well, maybe their punishments wouldn't be so drastic, after all it would be a simple question and for all Relena knew, they were let off with a warning, but she guessed it always depended on how angered the customer was. If she were to ask her that question, Relena would think up an answer that would boggle her mind, a story that she would be wondering around in amazement with a dazed look in her eyes, for days. For instance, Relena could conjure up a story this instant that would blow her socks away.

If she were to have asked what Relena was doing with all those desserts, then Relena would have replied "Why, I'm merely going to take them don to the sewer to feed the poor, underfed and under appreciated rats. Do you even know how much they do for our community?' And then she would ramble on for hours about rats and their civil duties. To make it seem more realistic, she would then proceed to ask the woman to find her a rat to bring up to her room, then she would feed it. Although it would be difficult to keep a straight face and at the same time, hide her disgust for the filthy rodent.

"Room 256 please, and would you mind not sending it up for another half hour?" She said sweetly.

"Of course miss. I'll have them deliver your food at 4 o'clock sharp. We will be charging this to your bill am I correct?"

"Yes of course"

"Thank you miss and have a good evening". Relena hung up and headed over to the bathroom where she found the water almost reaching the top. Turning off the water, she got in and instantly felt her tense muscles relax. Relena spent the next while in the bath tub, not thinking of a single thing, she kept her mind completely blank and calm, just as she would if she were surfing. When she felt it was almost time for room service to arrive, she drained the tub and towel dried herself. She then wrapped the teri-cloth, complimentary bath robe around herself and stepped back into the bedroom.

Opening the television cabinet, she grabbed the remote and proceeded to flop onto the bed. Next, she flipped through the channels until she found the sappiest romance movie she could find, and put it on, only to find it was half way through, but that didn't bother her. She then walked over to the chair near the door, that she had dumped her purse on, and fished around inside until she came across her bottle of advil. Then she went back into the bathroom and took the complimentary Kleenex box, and pulled the tab off it. Setting the contents on the bed, she went to a small table and took a glass off of it, and filled it with water at the sink in the bathroom. She set that on the night table near the bed.

Suddenly there was a knock at her room door, and she cautiously peeped through the hole before she realized it was room service, and then she opened it. Taking the cart from the male, she handed him a twenty and went back into the room, locking the door behind her.

Parking the cart next to the bed, she opened the bottle of wine and poured herself a glass full to the brim. Taking long gulps, she put the glass down, and attacked the chocolate moose cake, eating it as if she hadn't eaten in a long time. Pausing to stare at the television, she watched just in time to see the big love scene.

"Oh Henry I love you …..please don't leave me!" a blonde woman was clinging onto a tall, red haired, handsome man.

"I would never leave you, you mean the world to me. You're my everything, I always want you to be happy. Let's never leave each other ever again. I need you Rosalee!" Henry said while claiming the blonde's mouth.

"LIAR!!!" Relena yelled at the television, throwing a nearby pillow at the screen. Grabbing the next desert off the cart, which happened to be the vanilla and strawberry cake, she shoveled forkfuls down her throat. After the piece was gone (which didn't take long), she watched as the couple on the screen began making out in the guys apartment, and soon it led to something more…..it hadn't been hard to see it coming, because that was always how it worked. Relena took her glass and re filled it with wine, taking large sips, then decided better of it and put the glass back, grabbing the bottle instead. Tilting the neck over her mouth, she took large gulps of the liquid.

Then Relena suddenly burst into tears. Why was life so cruel to her?

Meanwhile with Heero

Heero stared off into the oblivion, completely blank. He couldn't comprehend the evenings earlier events. What had happened? He had been stupid, that's what had happened.

"Relena…" he sighed. She was angry with him, no angry was an understatement, she was enraged.

The evening had started off great, the pair had made their way to the restaurant to meet their wedding planner. They sat down to a great meal, and sipped on their drinks. They talked to the wedding planner about last minute arrangements. Everything had gone fine. Until Relena had decided that she wanted to go to a little bakery for some cheese cake.

flashback

"Heero I'm still hungry…" complained Relena.

"But we just came out of the restaurant" Heero stated.

"I know, but those little French dishes aren't very filling anymore"

"Relena, you ate a four course meal."

"So what, it wasn't enough to fill me"

"Relena, are you trying to get yourself fatter?" asked Heero. Now, having said that line may have been the reason why Relena was so upset with him. He had just basically called her fat. That was a definite no no in the rule book. Calling any woman, no matter how young or old she is, fat, is upsetting and hurtful to the female. It wouldn't even be necessary to even say the word for the woman to think you were implying. Calling a woman fat, to her, is down right offensive and rude. If the man and woman had just started dating, and the man hinted something towards her being over weight, then the result would be an immediate 'dumping' followed by the woman's rebellion of eating a mass amount of fattening foods.

Heero and Relena's case was different however, because they were in love and had committed themselves to marriage. But still, the consequences of saying those words would still have a huge impact on their relationship, and it would not be in Heero's favor.

Heero hadn't even realized what he had done until Relena broke into tears. Why was he so stupid when it came to her? Why had he called her fat in the first place? His fiance was anything far from being fat. She was as thin as a pole, he actually should have been happy that she had wanted to eat more in the first place. Her eating habits were good, most of the time, but he still had to force food on her once in a while. So why had he called her fat? He wasn't sure…..

"So you're calling me fat!?" she screamed.

"Relena, I'm not calling you fat it's just.." But he was cut off.

"My fiance is calling me fat!!!" Relena sobbed as a group of women passed by. One had the liberty of swatting Heero on the shoulder with her cane.

"Pig" the woman called, and then gave Relena a sympathetic look. Then she continued her journey with her friends. Heero let the woman's hit slide, focusing his attention on Relena.

"Relena you know I didn't mean that. You're really thin" Heero said.

"So your saying that if I were to be heavy you wouldn't marry me?" That was when Heero felt a little angered himself. Why did she always twist his words around and squeeze them to get every ounce of venom in them that she could muster? He guessed it was because she was a female and she did it on pure instinct.

"I never said that either"

"You meant it to sound like that. Admit it, if I were to be 200 pounds you wouldn't come near me" But then again he was a guy, and he could be superficial, so of course he would not go chasing after the heaviest woman he could find any time soon.

So he stayed quiet in response.

"Exactly. Now I ask you this, was this whole relationship built on looks and sex?" she interrogated.

"No Relena I love you, not for your looks and not for the sex, for you". He said as calmly as his nerves would allow.

"So your saying I'm ugly now as well?" Relena shouted.

"No, I never said that either".

"Heero, I'm going to go now, don't bother chasing after me". And before he could do another thing, she had hailed a cab, climbed in and drove off.

End of Flashback.

Heero sighed heavily. What kind of mess had he gotten himself into this time? And better yet, why was Relena moody all of a sudden?

He had gone back to the house, only to find Relena not home, and according to Hilde (who had seen her come home), she had taken a suitcase from the basement, packed it with clothes and left Hilde a note saying which hotel she was staying out. Heero had had to nearly beg for the piece of information. Calling the hotel, he found Relena staying in the most expensive room available, and asked for the adjoining room, which luckily for him was available.

Packing a bag of clothes and some other necessities, he headed out, prepared to do absolutely anything to resolve Relena's anger.

Duo and Hilde's POV

When Duo reached the bottom of the stairs, he followed the sounds of voices to the kitchen, where he found Hilde, Quatre, Trowa and Dorothy, seated around the table, each holding a cup of steaming hot coffee in their hands.

"What's going on here?" Duo asked.

"This is our little meeting, care to join us?" Dorothy stated.

"Only if I can have one of those" Duo pointed to her cup of coffee.

"Right away darling" Hilde planted a mug right in front of him before he could say anything else.

Taking her spot at the head of the table Hilde began the 'meeting'.

"As you all know, Heero and Relena are getting married in a week and a half. Right now, there seems to be a rough patch in the relationship, but I think they'll by pass that. Now, we need to throw some bachelor parties here, one for Heero and one for Relena. That's where we come in. Trowa, Quatre and Duo, you will all organize a fun night for Heero. I trust that you'll make it the best bachelor party ever." Hilde winked.

"Dorothy, we'll organize Relena's bachelorette party, of course Sally and Catherine will be helping as well."

Duo interrupted. "Why is it that you wake us all up this early in the morning, to tell us that?"

"Because, we need to organize this while Heero and Relena are not present, and I would like to point out to you that both of them are not here, both are actually at a hotel this very moment." Hilde said smartly.

Duo gave a confused look. Since when were Heero and Relena staying at a hotel? But he didn't even want to bother asking that question and overload his brain more then it already was.

So the group began their arrangements, idea forming and so on……………….

Relena

After completely stuffing herself with the desserts, and wine, her head began to hurt so she turned off the television and popped two advil into her mouth, drinking the water with them.

Relena was then about to go to bed, when the pains in her abdomen started up again, worse then ever. Dropping to the floor, she cried out in pain, her whole body shaking in tremors. A white hot light made her blind, and she felt as if she were about to faint. The pain came in waves, one after the other, and she bit her lip to hide the screams that would come from her mouth.

Before another round of pain could start, she was being carried by a set of strong arms and she was laid down on her bed.

"It's going to be alright Relena" was the last thing she heard before she blacked out…………
