A Midsummer Day's Nightmare
Chapter Two:
"Heero," Relena said as they paused for a moment in a clearing, the moon shining through the leaves and tree branches. The large trees surrounded them like a shelter, giving a sense of security to the two weary lovers. "Can we stop here tonight?"
The stoic teen turned to stare at the blonde-haired, blue-eyed angel looking at him with pleading eyes as she tugged on her skirts a little to keep them from getting tangled in the twigs and branches scattering the ground. "Sure."
Smiling brightly back at him with his response, "Thank you!" He nodded and walked over to her, grabbing her soft hand in his own and led her towards some rocks.
She raised her eyebrow, "A cave?"
He nodded, "Don't worry," he reassured her, "I won't let anything happen to you." She smiled brightly at him. Turning with a blush on her face, she shooed him away in a bashful manner. He shook his head with a small smile on his face at her actions.
She acted as though they weren't running away to elope together.
"After removing some of her clothing so that she was only wearing a bodice and an undershirt along with her underskirt, she lowered herself onto the fluffy green moss. She smiled at the comfort of it and looked over to where Heero rested himself against a tree, ready for any danger. "Good night, Heero."
"Good night, Relena." Was his ever-so-soft reply back. She smiled and closed her eyes, drifting off to the comfort of sleep, knowing that Heero would protect her from any danger.

"Dorothy." Quatre said as politely as he could muster to the girl following behind him like a loyal soldier, "I'm trying to go on a rescue mission, so…"
"So, I'm here to protect you!" She replied harshly, "You deserve more that Relena—she's too short for you!"
"And you're not?" He replied back just as harshly. She nodded at his words, straightening herself to show she was the perfect height for the blonde.
He sighed, "Please leave?"
"No."
He growled at the foolish girl. What would it take for her to not realize that he didn't love her?
"First you love me and now you leave me for someone else! How can you be so cruel?"
"Maybe it was the fencing sword that you stabbed me with?"
Dorothy shrugged, "It's not my fault you can't fight well."
"Because I don't want to fight," he turned to look at her as he stopped. Both were unaware of the invisible King Zechs of the fairies watching them. "Why don't you go for Heero if you like fighting so much?"
"Because he has Relena." He narrowed his eyes at her, "Not for long." He muttered under his breath. Peace loving people should be with peace-loving people. Not the other way around!
"Leave me." He growled out, ready to tear his head out of his scalp with her presence so near him.
"No." He growled at her and continued on his way, her following him.
Zechs reappeared, eyebrows raised as he contemplated their situation, "This is interesting…" Then, he turned to see Duo behind him, holding the flower happily in his hands.
"Zechs?" The braided fairy questioned at the look in his King's eyes.
"I want you to find a man, wearing mortal clothing. Pout nectar on his eyes." Duo nodded, "He should be with a woman."
"Gotchya!" Then, he bounced off to go and find a ride.
I will make that boy follow around the girl as she did to him. He smirked at his mischief. He turned, a vial of nectar in his hands that Duo slipped him. "Now, I have a Queen to go and take care of…"

Duo silently crept into the area, seeing a brunette-haired youth glowing slightly in the moon's light, and then looked further into the slight darkness to see a girl dressed in white, using something that looked like a dress for a pillow.
Shrugging, he got off of his ride… a tortoise.
The animal opened it's mouth to talk to him, but he shushed it quietly, seeing the youth leaning against one of their trees stir slightly as if he could hear them. Narrowing his eyes in concentration, he held his breath and walked as close as he dared towards the youth. Taking out the flower with caution of his moves, he smirked and dropped nectar on each of the lad's eyes.
Looking at the girl in the 'cave', he smirked and almost skipped back to his ride.
The animal, ever so slowly, began forward, making it's way back to the fairy King Zechs.

"Have you done my deed?" Zechs questioned as he watched his Puck flounce back to where he told his minion to come to.
"Yep" The braided fairy happily chirruped as he bounced towards the rocks, looking around for something.
"Really?" Somehow, Zechs felt as if he gave the crazy little fairy too much of a task.
"Yep!" He turned to look at the King with his violet-blue eyes, "Why?" He tilted his head to the side, watching the blonde-haired man with curious, wide eyes.
Crossing his arms and huffing, he replied, "Because you screw everything else up." He had a smirk on his face as Duo exploded.
"What!"
"Anyhow, you found the youth wearing one of the mortal's outfits, correct?" Duo nodded, "And it was a boy?"
Nodding Duo added, "What? You don't think I can tell a guy from a girl?"
"Yes." Duo glared, mocking hurt in his eyes as he pouted, "You yourself look like a girl." Duo looked like he was about ready to hit Zechs in the face before a voice behind him startled him out of his skin.
"Hey!" Duo squealed and spun around so fast it would put a cheetah's name to shame.
He glomped the shocked fairy that startled him and shouted happily, "Hilde!"
"Duo!" She just as happily replied as the two continued to glomp one another.
Zechs sighed heavily, rubbing his forehead, "I guess there really are certain people made for people."
The two lovebirds remained oblivious to their King's words.

Author's note: Wow… that was a lot of scene changes… XD Hopefully, y'all like this chapter. Sorry for the long wait in this story… I have the ending planned out and now all I need to do is the filler stuff. Don't expect it to completely follow the play, alright? However, I still like the ending for this story that I've thought out no matter what.
Thanks to everyone who update!
Love, Red Tail
