Chapter three:
When they arrived, Relena came running to Hilde. "Hilde! I thought something terrible had happened to you. Did he hurt you or try anything?"
"No ma'am."
"Hilde…Since we're not at the Palace anymore, I want you to start calling me Relena instead of all my formal names, okay?"
"But your highness, I couldn't possibly do that!"
"Why not? You won't get in any trouble… You'll get the hang of it."
Hilde bowed. "As you wish your- I mean Relena."
"And no bowing. Just think of me as your equal."
"O- Okay."
"Good," Relena said while smiling.
'She's different than all of the other women I've ever met. There's something special about her,' Heero thought to himself while looking at the girls in amusement.
"You like her don't you?"
"Why do you say that Duo?"
"Well for one, ever since you met her you haven't been able to keep your eyes off her. Two, you actually let her take her things with her. And three, your mood has lightened. Normally, you would have yelled at me to get back to work by now."
Heero grumbled. "Get back to work Duo," he said as he turned around. "Oh and Duo, tell her to join me for dinner tomorrow," and with that he left.
"My pleasure," Duo said to Heero's retreating form. "Ladies! How are you doing? Is everything to your liking?"
"Yes thank you-" Relena said.
"Duo, Duo Maxwell."
"Duo. Well, thank you for your hospitality. Would you mind showing us to our rooms? We are quite tired."
"Of course. Come this way." He led them to their room and said, "Relena, Heero has requested you to join him for dinner tomorrow night. Hilde, if you'd like you can join me." Hilde blushed and nodded. "Very well then. Goodnight ladies."
"Yes goodnight, and thank you again."
"My pleasure," he replied while he bowed and left.
"He seems nice," Relena said with a big smile. "And he seems very fond of you. He was looking at you the whole time he was speaking. Not to mention inviting you to dine with him."
Hilde was beat red. "Well…Heero's very fond of you. Duo even told me so. And he invited you to dine with him also," Hilde replied, beating Relena at her own game.
"Come on, let's go to sleep. I'm really tired."
Hilde yawned, "Me too." And the two got into bed and went to sleep.
