Sorry I haven't updated for awhile. My internet connection is messed up. I've been trying to fix it for the last couple of days...Well here's the next chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter eight:
Hilde was the first to awake in the morning. She looked over at Relena, wondering what time she got in, when she noticed Relena was wearing something. It looked like a jacket, and then it dawned on her. It was Heero's jacket. He had put it on her last night. She smiled, and quietly crept out of bed. She had to find Duo. "Hey Trowa!"
He turned around, smiled, and waved. "How are you?"
"I'm fine. I was just looking for Duo. Do you know where he is?"
"I think he's with the Captain right now, discussing our destination."
"Oh, well then, I'll wait. Do you mind if I stay here and talk to you?"
"Not at all. Do you want to help me with this stuff?"
"Uh, sure. Is it hard?"
"In the beginning it is, but it'll become easier as you do it more."
"Okay, what do I have to do?"
"You pull this rope, and tie it around this post to make sure it stays nice and tight."
"What does this do?"
"It makes sure the sails are secure and won't fly away when the wind hits it."
"Oh, okay. So what do you want me to do?"
"Start pulling this rope. I'll help you, so don't worry.
Hilde started pulling, but no matter how hard she tried it wouldn't budge an inch. "This is really hard!" she yelled trying to pull harder. "Are you sure this gets easier!"
"As time goes on, it does!" he yelled back. They both heard some laughter and turned their heads. Duo was standing there laughing.
"What's so funny!" Hilde demanded.
"You…It's just that, I would have never have thought that you would do anything like that. Here, I'll help Trowa finish up okay?"
"Sure. I don't mind." Duo was still kind of laughing as he got down there and took over. After the two men finished, Hilde said, "I was looking for you. I wanted to tell you something that you might like."
Duo's ears pricked up. "Oh really? And what might that be?" he asked as he walked over to her.
"Well," she began as she started to walk, "I found Relena sleeping with Heero's jacket on. She looked kind of possessive of it."
"Now that is definitely something I want to hear! Heero never told me about that this morning. Ooooo, this is sooooo good!" Duo said excitedly, while rubbing his hands together.
