It was a beautiful sunny day in Kashmir and the jungles were thriving with life and wonder. In it was Quatre Raberba Winner, a multi-billionaire who owned a vast construction empire. He had blonde hair that hung in long bangs that covered some of his face, blue eyes, and a cheerful personality! It was one of those very rare times in which Quatre had a day of his endless work. He had arranged to take a good time off work to enjoy the great sites of the world.
After walking out of the jungle, he found some plains covered in emerald green grass and laid down on his back. Deciding to relax even more, Quatre closed his eyes. After a few minutes of his beauty sleep, he heard a Ring! Ring! He had realized that he forgot to leave his cell phone at the Islamabad Hotel. "Damnit" he thought bitterly. If this was going to be about work, he was going to be mad. Come to think of it, almost every time he took a break, his cell phone always rung and whoever called talked about something work-related! Reluctantly, he picked it up from his pocket.
"What?" he asked curtly. It was'nt like him to be rude, but he was just annoyed at the fact his break had to be interrupted.
"Is this a bad time?" asked the caller in a friendly manner. He was surprised at the caller's voice. He knew it! This voice was someone's he had known!
"Heero! Is that you!"he said happily. His bothered state was now gone. Just then, he remembered that this cell phone he was using was brand new. He got a new one because he did'nt want business people to reach him all the time. How did Heero get his number? Oh well.
"Well I just wanted to say hi" Heero said. Quatre was amazed. Heero did'nt talk like that. Although he was pure of heart, he was quiet and probably purposely socially inept.
"Heero...did something happen to you? You don't seem yourself." he said back.
Heero laughed back, and said "So what are you doing?"
"I'm just on vacation." Quatre found some happiness knowing that some change had occurred in him. He wanted to talk with him and catch up, now knowing that he was friendlier.
"Say Heero, why don't you join me? We could do some catching up. We'll have more fun when were together. Everyone's going to be here too!"
There was a momentary silence between the two.
Finally, Heero spoke up and said "Sure, invitation accepted."

The next day, Heero went to the airport to get on the air plane to go to Kashmir. Although he truly wanted to go and see Quatre, he believed he was also a bit unsure about how he felt knowing Duo would be there. Duo might already know what happened to him. He felt nervous about having to eventually having to face him.
It was now almost time for the flight to take off so Heero got in line to turn in his ticket. As he was about to turn his ticket in, he heard someone was shouting behind him. And by the sound of, someone was making his way through the crowded airport.
"Yo! I got a flight to catch! Comin' through!" said a wild voice.
"Duo! Why did you have to oversleep!" complained a female voice.
Heero turned around to see who it was. To his his surprise, it was Duo and Hilde, a young woman with blue eyes and black eyes. He felt his heart jump. He quickly gave his ticket in to the employee and walked quickly to the plane.
"Hey! That you Heero!? Duo called after him.
Reluctantly, he turned around to face him.
"Oh hello Duo." He said plainly.
And so Duo followed him on to the plane and sat next to him. Hilde sat in front of Heero.
As soon as the plane took off, Duo talked to Heero with interest. But as he he did so, Hilde broke in and asked "Duo told me that you were in the hospital last time I heard about you. May I ask what happened?"
Heero was reminded of the event that happened back then. "Oh just got into some trouble, no big-deal."
"But ya know, I find it hard to believe. That the Great Heero Yuy "get" himself into trouble and end up being hurt" Duo said to him. Heero felt insulted by his comment. He started to feel his old self come back. Did changing make him vulnerable to pain, both emotional and physical? And even worse, he even looked hurt, despite his attempt to hide it. Duo probably realized what he had done so he remained quiet for a while. After an hour or so, Duo decided to talk to him.
"Listen...uh...I'm sorry I said that. So are we friends again?" Duo said sincerely. He offered his hand for a shake.
Duo did'nt lie. Not once and never will. So he trusted his words. He gave his hand and they shook.
Now Heero was back to his new self. Wanting to make sure that he would'nt have to worry about Duo and Relena doing anything, he asked them something.
"So how long have you and Hilde seeing each other?" he said with a slight smile.
Before Duo could answer, Hilde answered instead.
"No! We never were!" She was laughing and blushing at the same time.
Strange Heero thought. Why had he always thought that? Then Heero also remembered something else. The conversation Duo and Relena had. Yes well he was a dear person to me once. But he doesn't seem to tell people how he feels. He remembered Relena saying that to Duo. But why would she have to say that? Looking at Duo when he was'nt looking, Heero decided to ask him about it. But when they had a chance to be in private he would. He did'nt want Hilde to hear.
"Ya know Heero buddy! You've changed. I hope its ok if I ask you how you changed!" Duo said smiling.
Heero gave him a look that said "huh?". Then he laughed happily. Duo was left confused.
