"Must you drive so fast? My head still hurts…" Trowa groaned.
"I told you not to have that last beer. Besides, I'm only going forty." Quatre countered.
The two were on their way to Relena's house where Dorothy was already waiting for the others to arrive. After a night filled with tales of honesty, kisses (since it was tradition for the dares to be nothing but the act of locking lips), and rounds upon rounds of roaring laughter, everyone had decided to return home only to awaken to a huge and painful hangover.
"Last night was great. Or was it this morning? What time did we leave?" Trowa said letting the air sweep through his chestnut hair. Because the boy was in pain, Quatre had to drive in order to meet up for their planned swim. Trowa's car was a 2000 Celica Convertible in blue, his favorite color.
"I don't know. Around four?"
"Man…no wonder Dad threw a fit this morning…"
"At least he didn't ban us from going out today."
"Hm. Doesn't you head hurt? You're awfully giddy today. More so than usual."
"I have my reasons." Quatre smiled. "I got my letter that I was waiting for."
Just before Trowa could ask 'what letter?' a car came up next to Quatre and honked. The two glanced over.
"Hey cuties!" Sally called from the passenger seat. "Headin' my way?" she winked.
Wufei was driving while Heero and Duo were making out in the back seat.
Quatre grinned. "Depends. Are you going to splash around under a waterfall while keeping your drink from mixing with the water?"
"Yup! That's it!" Sally grinned.
"Then that's exactly where we're going!" Quatre accelerated and took off towards his friend's house in the hills.
"Today's gonna be fun." The blonde said, smiling at his companion.
"As long as there's no more truth or dare." Trowa said matter-of-factly.
"Ah. You have a point. No more truth or dare."
"Not that I really minded it. It's the truth part that bothered me. I'm supposed to be the quiet one." Trowa smirked.
"I mind throughout the whole thing, no doubt about it."
"It bothered you that much that you had to kiss me?"
"So what? It's not like you were helping the matter."
Trowa just laughed. "You know you wanted to kiss me all night long, Quatre."
"You, Trowa Barton, are completely delirious. Utterly and hopelessly delirious."

"So where's everyone going for college?" Relena asked, handing out drinks to all of her guests.
"Wuffie and I couldn't be separated so we both agreed to go to Harvard. He would study business while I studied botany." Sally said snuggling close to her 'Wuffie.'
"Heero and me, we're going to MIT." Duo grinned.
"Maxwell, how did you ever get accepted into MIT?" Wufei asked in disbelief.
"Believe it or not, but Duo is a science wiz." Quatre pointed out. "That's what you'll be majoring, right?"
"You got it, Q-man! Me in science and Heero in mathematics. We'll be rocket scientists in the near future, thank you very much." Duo winked.
"How about you two?" Heero asked turning to Dorothy and Relena.
"Well, I'm heading over to Princeton." Said Relena. "I don't know what I'll be majoring but I'm leaning towards biology to become a doctor."
"It's Yale for me. Like Wufei, I'm studying business." Dorothy shrugged, taking a sip of her drink.
"No fancy school for me thanks. I already know what I'm gonna do. I'm just gonna go to school to improve my skills in art." Trowa said, placing an arm around Dorothy's waist. "It's San Francisco Academy for me."
"What's the use of more school when you're already a terrific artist?" Relena asked.
Trowa shrugged. "It's just to learn more techniques. It doesn't hurt to learn."
"He's got a point." Wufei said. "To learn is a gift."
"What about you, Quatre?" Heero asked, turning to the small blonde boy.
"Oh me?" Quatre blushed. He looked down, took his straw, and started playing with the ice in his drink. He mumbled something, inaudible to his friends.
"Where?" Sally asked, moving closer to Quatre to listen for his answer.
"Come on, Quatre. No need to be shy. We're all friends here." Dorothy assured.
Quatre sighed and slumped his shoulders. "Julliard."
"Oy! That's great Q!" Duo exclaimed.
"Quatre, Julliard's a great school! You got accepted?" Relena asked, excited for her friend.
"Isn't that school hard to get into?" Wufei stated more than asked.
"It's damned near impossible." Dorothy smiled.
"Good thing Quatre's an excellent musician." Heero winked.
Quatre blushed and smiled at his friends. "I got my acceptance letter this afternoon. I can't wait."
'That's why he was so happy…' Trowa thought and smiled for his friend.
"Well, it seems that all of us will be successful in our years to come. We have rocket scientists, a botanist, a business man and woman, an artist, and a musician." Relena smiled.
"Don't forget doctor." Quatre winked.
"To our future." Duo said, holding up his glass.
"To our future!"
Author's Notes/Disclaimer: I don't own. Short chapter on their futures. For Trowa's college, I had absolutely no idea of where to send him. Then a commercial for the Academy of Art came on and so I decided why send him to a fancy school I have no clue about when I can send him to an art school I have a little knowledge of? So there you go.
