Heero bent over his keyboard fingers flying while Wufei looked on. They were going to find Duo on way or another. Quatre looked over to them and shook his head. He didn't know who was going to be in more trouble Dou or him… that is if they find out he, himself knew before them. He took a swig of his tea and looked down at the school paper Haruka had given him. Glancing at a bright advertisement for an up coming play. Spraying his tea across the table and covering Trowa he cussed elegantly in many languages. Successfully capturing the attention of ever one.
Wufei raised and eyebrow and glowered. "Do you mind cutting your horse play down a little over there."
A small blush tinted Trowa's checks he was thinking of somehow to get a reaction from Quatre. Looking down at the paper he love was sputtering over one word escaped his mouth.
"Duo." Quatre nodded and began to make almost complete words.
"Do, Do, Dou!" Heero and Wufei raced over. On a brightly lit add was a production of the near by schools, College, High, middle and Grammar school.
Night of Disney!
An enriched night of Disney Classic Musical scores from it most famous movies.
They pictured many of the actors in there characters. It was one character they notice most at the very top flying on a carpet was a thief with a braid and a blonde Arabian princess clutched to him. Opening night was set for that night. Wufei reacted for the phone just as the door knocked. All four looked up startled and chill ran up their spine.
Quatre reached for the knob wondering how he got elected for this task. Swearing under his breath to haunt them if he died he yanked open the door his greeting died on his lips. He chuckled and closed the door. Opening it again he let out another snort of laughter. Standing in the door way stood a glowering Haruka in a Pluto the dog suit, head tucked under his arm. The other hand held out tickets.
"Relena sent these to you." Curtly spoken he shoved them into Quatre's hands before jamming the head on and slamming the door closed. He turned around.
"Which guns are we taking?"
Duo scanned the crowds. Nervous was not a word to describe him at the moment. Petrified, terrified and in a small way satisfied would be a start. A hand grabbed his shoulder causing him to jump.
Dorothy smirked was loaded with mirth and mischief. "My, my Duo-chan you let your guard down. What if I had been one of the other pilots." Duo gave her a dirty look.
"You promised not to pick on me. Complain, bitch, rant and rave but no picking." Dorothy put an elegant finger in his chest.
"It is pure blackmail that I am here to night and you know it."
"Hai." He turned back to the audience and gave a squeak. His pray had just arrived. He whirled around grabbing Dorothy's arm and made a quick dash for his changing room. He wanted to be alive to at least play his part. But the ever dreadful beep of his laptop sent his mood spiraling to depression.
Wufei drummed his fingers as the show continued. He had to admit it was well put together. He would have like to seen better material then Fairy tales gone soft. All he wanted was a certain pilot. Looking down at his program he smirked. Duo was next. This should prove to be amusing. There were already rumors flying about Duo's return from the grave and if this was truly the Braided fool. He sent a silent message down the line of his comrades, settled farther into his seat and waited for the show. His mind already plotted how to corner 02 after the show.
The curtain rose. Duo ran on stage singing while dogging palace guards. Jumping and weaving about in ways few dared. Oh yes this will be good.
Duo: All this for a piece of bread (goes into song)
They were shocked to say the least when Dorothy came out as Jasmine. Who knew she could sing? Who knew she would wear that costume? Who knew Heero new how to snicker or laugh? Who knew Heero and Quatre could think alike?
They both all but rubbed his hands in delight. Oh the Blackmail made their mouths drool with the possibilities.
The curtain fell with Aladdin/Duo and Jasmine/Dorothy about to share a romantic kiss. The boys rose and made their way to the back entrance. Cutting off Duo's only means of escape as the others were being watched.
Trowa cleared his throat. " I must admit that Duo and Miss Dorothy are quite the actors."
Heero snorted. " It is a natural thing for both parties. Both use the skills of acting to achieve their goals." Quatre glanced at Heero. There was a double meaning to that statement. One he would ponder later. Right now he had to deal with a seething Dorothy waiting for them at the stage door.
"He left already." She gritted out between clenched teeth. She grabbed the doorknob jerking the door open and storming in. The door closed with a bang snapping the boys out of their stupor.
Quatre's eyes glittered with anger. What little bit he had left to forgive Duo with was slowly dwindling.
Duo sat in his room blankly staring at the walls as Haruka raved on the other side of his door. He could hear his shouts and pounds on the door but none registered. All he could concentrate on was the feeling of betrayal, anger and other feelings that came to him from the other Pilots. How could he tell them he saved their lives? That there was a gun trained on them ready to fire if contact was made. How could he face them?
Rolling over he could see the moon peeking out behind the curtains. The site brought tears to his eyes. How could he dare look at it, so pure, regal. That was not who he was…or was hit. Burring his head in the pillows to hide his mind whirled.
How was it possible to be two people at once? Here in this world he was Shinigami, the god of death, Pilot 02, street rat, and hero/terrorist, master of thievery, silent op and blowing shit up. In the other a princess, the light of hope, a shining star, a mother, friend, sister, Senshi. Not to mention all of the under cover people he had to be.
Everyone was the exact opposite of one another and yet none of them was who he is.
It hit him. Slowly sitting up he faced the mirror. Eyes swollen and red, hair matted and tangled fell about him, now her as she let the disguise fade away.
"Who am I?"
The light slowly dwindled from her eyes as she laid back down. Eyes blank a spark of life just beyond the reach.
In parts of the city six different people had shivers run up their spine. A feeling of loss came over them.
Haruka paused in mid strike at her princess' door. Rubbing her arms she tried to relieve the cold wind that whirled around her. Calling her, warning her. Her bare feet padded silently on the carpet as she made her way to the front. Stopping in awe and uneasiness as she watched Hotaru now sailor Saturn, replay the big Bang, her favorite trick.
" It is coming close. The time of awakening is near."
The chill went deeper as those dark void eyes stared at her.
" What awakening?"
Hotaru jerked awake then smiled at her Haruka-papa. Haruka heaved a big sigh. For once she would love to get a straight answer from that child. Usually Setsuna was there to interpret or give more information. Although the latest prophesies from the child had even the Time guardian baffled and confused.
Yes I know I used She for Haruka…Just wait it will be explained. Already has if you could read between the lines. and yes they will be switching back and forth between male and female.
