"SCORE, another successful shot taken by Forward Trowa Barton, Royals 10, Indians 5!" The announcer blared over the loud speaker.
"Wow, Trowa has really dominated the game so far, with 3 goals and two assists." Duo leaned over the barrier to give another whoop in Trowa's honor. Everyone had finally come down from the box to enjoy the game close up. Hilde moved to take the empty seat next to Alex.
"So, how does it feel to be dating a pro soccer player?"
"Well were not really dating."
"Don't give me that, I have an eye and an ear for everything and I know at the very least you two are dating."
"I guess I can't get anything passed you."
"Yeah, it took Duo three months to figure that out." The two girl's giggled as the Royals scored again.
"So I heard Duo is starting a car company."
"He loves anything with a motor. Duo is a great mechanic and if he can fix a Gundam then he can sure as well make an engine to run in a car. He's really into graphic arts. He already has a few body models. The first prototype should be ready in a few months."
"How is he paying for all this?"
"Well believe it or not he got paid for saving the world. He would have done it anyway; the money is just like an added bonus. Although there isn't much of it left. He used most of it for fuel and mechanical parts for his Gundam during the war. Quatre is pretty much funding him."
"They got paid?"
"Yeah, all soldiers got paid. I mean you didn't think that the OZ soldiers worked for free do you? I guess they belonged to an underground army, one with only five soldiers."
"So I heard you two are getting married."
"Yeah, the wedding is in a month. I'm so excited."
"You and Duo are so young though."
"I know, but if you think about it were not. We both grew up early; we are mentally superior to most of the human race. We're not you average 16 year olds. None of us are."
"Yeah, you're right. I guess I can relate. I was forced to grow up early."
"It's a hard path to take. Anyway if the Royals win there will be a huge after party. Are you going to go?"
"Of course!"
"Hey guys, look at the Jumbo screen!" Sally stood up and pointed. Trowa's player profile popped up.
"Marital status single! That's a lie!" Hilde began furiously shaking Catherine's arm.
"Hilde, ease up on my arm! Trowa probably said that before he and Alex hooked up!" Hilde released Catherine's arm and settled down.
"Hey, where did Heero and Relena go?" Quatre said. Everyone began to look around.
"They probably went back up to the box to get some privacy if you know what I mean." Duo gestured to the box.
"The games almost over, couldn't it have waited?" Alex nodded her head in agreement then focused back on the game. There was only a few minutes left in the game and the Royals were far ahead. Trowa stole the ball and headed down the field for a last goal before the end of the game.
"GO TROWA!!!!!" Alex shouted from the stands. He passed the ball to a fellow teammate who launched the ball into the net.
"That's the game! The Sanc Kingdom Royals win!"The crowd went into an uproar with cheers and whoops. After a while the stadium began to become empty except for a huge crowd waiting for autographs. Out in the middle of the field a reporter was interviewing Trowa. When they were done he joined his other teammates in giving autographs. After a while the rest of the crowd was shunned away from the team by security.

Alex went down to wait for Trowa to come out of the player's locker room. The door opened and Trowa came out with his bag in tow.
"Trowa! You did such a great job!" Alex wrapped her arms around his neck to embrace him in a tight hug. Trowa dropped his bag to return it. When they broke apart Alex starred him in the eyes. He had the most beautiful emerald eyes she had ever seen. Trowa brushed a stray hair from out of her face then bent down to kiss her. For a moment their lips brushed together before Alex pulled him down farther for more. His tongue entered her mouth and gently stroked her tongue. The kiss deepened even more and neither came up for air anytime soon. Trowa's touch was sending her body on fire. Alex wanted to take him right there. She had barley known him for a week and she knew she wanted him. Finally they pulled apart for air.
"We have better get going or we will miss the party." Alex nodded and they headed for the Palace.
_______________________________________________________________________
When they arrived, the party had already started. Most of the team was already there. They went into the ballroom where music was blaring out the door. Trowa led her in by her hand to the center of the dance floor. He pulled her to him and wrapped his arms around her lower back. Alex hooked one arm around his neck while she let the other arm drape at her side. The music sped up so they moved their hips to the beat of the music pretty much grinding together.
"I didn't know you were such a good dancer Trowa."
"Let's just say I know how to use my body." Alex grinned as she leaned up to kiss him.
________________________________________________________________________
Relena and Heero had left early to make sure all the plans were going well for the party they knew was going to take place was going smoothly. Once people had arrived they moved outside to the balcony.
"I am amazed by everything you do."
"Thank you Heero. I do it all for you."
"Hm?"
"I do it all for you Heero, so you don't have to fight anymore, so you can live a normal life."
"You are such a selfless person Relena, that's one of the reasons I admire you so much." Relena blushed and looked up to the sky.
"Would you like to dance?"
"There isn't any music Heero."
"It's ok, just imagine it." Slowly they swayed to an imaginary beat. Their bodies molding together into one. Relena rested her head against his warm shoulder while he leaned his cheek against the back of her head, smelling the sweet scent of her hair.
________________________________________________________________________
Quatre and Dorothy had joined the party shortly after it had started and were now kissing in the corner of the ballroom. Duo and Hilde were completely bumping and grinding on the dance floor creating an audience. Sally and Wufei were sitting at a table holding hands and talking at one of the tables scattered around the outside of the dance floor. Many of the Players and their wives or girlfriends were dancing or conducting interviews with the press. Some fans were given passes to join the enormous party as well as many of the team sponsors.

"Relena?"
"Yes Heero?"
"I think you are such a wonderful person. I remember the first time I met you. Even
thought you were startled, you looked beautiful."
"Really? You thought so?"
"Yeah, I can admit that now."
"I'm glad because…"
"because what?"
"Because I love you." Heero stopped dancing and pulled away from Relena. He looked into her aquamarine eyes and smiled. The chocolate haired pilot pulled her close again and captured her lips in a soft kiss. After a few moments he pulled away and smiled.
"I've wanted to do that for so long."
"Me too."

Most of the Kingdom had partied late into the night. Finally around four or so in the morning the palace was empty and all that was left was the cleaning crew picking up the huge mess. All of whom who was left gathered in the living room. Alex who had drunken a few too many glasses of champagne was now cuddling against Trowa's warm chest, Duo had passed out on the floor with an angry Hilde over him, prodding him with her finger. Quatre and Dorothy had gone to do other things…, while Sally and Wufei were having a drinking contest. Zechs and Noin had gone in search of Heero and Relena who disappeared early in the evening.
"C'mon Alex, I'd better take you home. " The tall pilot helped her off the love seat they were sharing and took her to the car. Alex leaned back into the seat and rested her head on the back. Once they arrived to her house Alex stumbled out of the car onto the front walk. Trowa quickly came around the car to help her.
"Always the gentleman, you had just as much as I did, how come you are ok?"
"Let's see here, I'm a lot taller than you and I weight more."
"You can be so sweet!" He just rolled his eyes, man she was really drunk! Somehow Alex had managed to unlock the door and get in the house. Trowa carried her to her bed and laid her down. He got up to move, but found that she had a firm grip on his arm.
"Um, I kinda need my arm back."
"No I want you to stay with me tonight."
"I can't Alex it wouldn't be right."
"I'm not a virgin if that's what you are thinking."
"I'm not either, but that's not the reason."
"Then why?"
"Because I wouldn't feel right doing it in your condition. I would feel like I was taking advantage of you."
"Oh." Alex looked really disappointed and released his arm.
"Can I at least have a goodnight kiss?" Trowa sat on the bed to lean down to kiss her. Alex wrapped her arms around his neck and brought her lips up to meet his. She was completely intoxicating to him. He drank her in like a thirsty man to water. He wanted her more than anything, but he wouldn't do it. He respected her too much. Finally he pulled away from a very disappointed Alex.
"I'm sorry to have disappointed you beautiful."
"It's ok, maybe another time. Can you at least stay until I fall asleep?" Trowa nodded his head and sat down at a chair near her bed. Slowly his eyes became heavy then quickly drifted off the sleep.
________________________________________________________________________
The day had finally arrived when Duo would take Hilde's hand in marriage. Duo had been a total wreck the past few days. He had wanted everything to be perfect. They two had decided to get married on a huge cruse ship. The boat was to take off a approximately four O'clock that evening.
"Hurry up Alex, were going to be late!"
"Why the hell didn't you wake me up sooner?" Alex had just run past Trowa in a towel and into her closet.
"You looked so peaceful, how could I disturb you."
"Don't give me that, you didn't want to get up either."
"Well I'm sorry if our evening activities wear me out."
"Pleeaassse! You're a Gundam pilot, you don't get worn out. You could keep going all night if you wanted to then face a hundred mobile suits in battle."
"Do you think we could try it sometime?"
"What am I going to do with you?"
"Love me forever." Alex poked her head out of the closet and looked at Trowa.
"You can be really cute sometimes you know that?" He flashed her a quick grin then continued to tie his bow.
"Can you help me zip up my dress?" Alex came out of the closet so he could zip up the short black dress she was wearing.
"I think I like it the way it is."
"We don't have time for this." Trowa touched the side of her thigh and traced her curvy lines up her body with his hand. Alex just wanted to melt. He wrapped his arm around the top of her stomach and used his other hand to zip up her dress. When he was done he pulled her close to him and whispered in her ear, " I want you." as he pushed his hard erection against her. She was becoming wet with excitement, but had to suppress her feelings to just blow off the wedding.
"We have to go Trowa, maybe in the car." He groaned his disappointment as he followed her out to the car. They made it to the dock ten minutes before it left
"I have to go get situated with the Groomsmen so why don't you find a seat."

There must have been over 500 hundred people on the boat. The soft notes of music floated through the air announcing the beginning of the wedding. There were a dozen photographers trying to get pictures from every angle, while a half dozen cameramen were trying to catch the magical moment. No Doubt Duo's wedding would be on the cover of People magazine as well as the top story on all the news channels. It wasn't everyday a Gundam pilot got married. The young Mariemeia skipped down the center isle in a white lace dress throwing pink rose petals in the process. Next came Wufei in a black tuxedo with Sally Po on his arm in a lavender strapless dress that flared out from her hips. Then came Quatre and Dorothy in the same attire. Trowa came down the isle with his sister Catherine on his arm. As he passed Alex, he gave her a quick smile before finishing his decent down the isle. Heero and Relena took up the rear, both looking all too content as they tightened their grips on each other. Alex noticed that no doubt they would be next to get married. The Wedding march began and Hilde came out dressed in an off the shoulder lace dress that flared out at the hips and continued down her body in many folds of fabric. The picture of a fairy tale princess, at least that's what Duo thought. As she walked down the isle, a light breeze picked up and threw her purple-blue tresses to the side of her face, while her heavy dress danced in the wind. The procession went by fairly quickly and everyone headed down to the main cabin for the reception. The Wedding Party stayed up top for pictures. When the party came in everyone got up and cheered for the new couple.

"May I have everyone's attention!" Heero Yuy stood up out of his chair next to Duo, lightly tapping on the side of his wineglass with his fork.
"I guess that I am required to make some sort of speech, so here it is. The first time I met Duo Maxwell he shot me. Not you're usual best friend meeting, but it suited us just fine. I know that many of you think of him a loud and obnoxious, but he was an asset to our team. Without him and his beautiful wife, the war may not have ended. I was so honored that Duo had asked me to be his best man. I thought that life would never be normal. Duo has proven me wrong. I hope that some day I can be as happy as they are. Duo and Hilde give me hope for the future. I know that they will be happy together." Heero sat down and thought he saw Duo wipe away a tear. I guess Duo had never know how much he valued him as a friend. The rest of the night was spent drinking and dancing until the boat docked at one in the morning. The following day Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell would head out for their two-week honeymoon.

A few months had gone by, the Earth Sphere Soccer League World Cup was coming up. The Sanc Kingdom Royals had made it to the finals. They would square off against the L4-X0165 Panthers. The tickets to the game had been sold out within ten minutes. This was the most talked about event since the wedding of Duo and Hilde. The Earth and Colonies were in a frenzy with soccer fever. Of course Alex and the gang had front row seats to this huge event. If the Royals won, each player would receive a five million-dollar bonus and endorsements up the ass.
________________________________________________________________________
This was it, the moment that would either prove victory or loss. The teams were tied 15 to 15; forty seconds were left on the clock. Trowa passed the black and white sphere to a player only to have it stolen. Another Royal stole the ball back and headed down the field. The crowd stood up and was cheering, people were practically falling over the railings. The Royal passed the ball to Trowa who kicked it into the top left corner scoring the winning point of the game. If it was possible, the crowd cheered even louder. The Royals gathered in the center of the field and lifted Trowa and another teammate on their shoulders. After a while Trowa spotted Alex in the crowd, then headed toward her. Alex jumped down the 20ft. wall and ran for Trowa. Security tried to stop her, but she evaded them easily. She ran into Trowa's arms as her lifted her up and spun her around.
"We won!" Trowa shouted. He leaned down and kissed her full on the lips in front of the whole crowd, except now, half the fans were on the field and jumping the walls.
"I love you Trowa Barton, I have something to tell you." He stared into her deep blue eyes and she blinked.
"I'm pregnant." Trowa froze. Had he heard correctly? He wriggled out of her embrace and ran for the player's bench. He pulled out a small black velvet box and ran back to her.
"I thought you weren't coming back." Trowa wiped the tears that were streaming down her face.
"I could never leave you. I was going to wait until tonight, but now is as good a time as any." He pulled out the box and opened it for her to see.
"Alexandra Moonblade, will you marry me?" She starred at the box tearing up again.
"Yes, of course I'll marry you!" Trowa brought her in an embrace, both oblivious to the camera that was broadcasting their moment to the world.
A/N:Whew! I'm finally done with that. Um I don't know when I can get the next part out. I have Track all week after school, plus EBAL trials are on Saturday, and it's my friend's birthday on Friday so we are going to see Save Ferris. Anyway, reviews are nice. Later!
I do not own gundam wing!
