Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I've been really busy lately with graduation stuff, preparing for college, etc. I'm finally done with high school! Well anyways here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter Twenty-one

When they arrived, everybody was still eating.

"Cap and Relena! Over here!" Duo motioned towards the empty seats next to Hilde.

"It's Captain, not Cap."

"Relena! I thought you were with your father." Relena visibly tensed up at the mention of her father, which Hilde noticed. "Forget I asked. So where were you two?" she asked with a sly grin.

"On the balcony," Relena replied like it was nothing.

"What were you doing on the balcony?" Duo asked.

"That's none of your business Maxwell," Heero threatened.

"Jeez! I was just playin' around. No need to get all touchy about it."

"Shut up Duo, or else…"

"Or else what?" he challenged.

"Why don't you come over here and find out?"

"Heh, heh. I'll pass Cap."

"It's Captain not Cap! Can you get that through your thick skull?" Everyone burst out laughing with the exception of Heero and Duo."

"Captain is too long and boring."

"Live with it, like I have to live with your mouth," Everyone was laughing so hard, especially Sally. She started choking on her drink.

"Are you okay Sally?" Wufei asked while laughing and patting her back.

Cough, Cough "Yeah." cough, cough "I'm fine." giggle, giggle, cough, cough

"You sure?" Sally nodded her head. "Well, okay." He left his hand on her back and started rubbing it.

Everyone was joking and laughing for the rest of the meal. Not long after that they began retiring for bed.

"Would you like me to escort you to your room Hilde?" asked Duo.

"Why don't I escort you? I know the palace better than you."

"Okay." Duo bowed and held out his arm for her. "Shall we go Fair Lady?"

Hilde blushed. "Yes we shall Kind Sir." They arrived at Duo's room.

"I guess this is goodnight," Duo said pinning Hilde against his door.

"I guess it is." She smiled and got more comfortable by wrapping her arms around his waist and pulling him closer. He leaned down and started kissing her.

"Come in for a little bit," he said between kisses.

"I'd love to, but I can't. If I get caught, I'll be in a lot of trouble," she said, also between kisses.

"Okay. Then I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah… Mmm… Bye." Hilde stared giggling.

"Bye."

"Bye." Hilde kissed him one last time and ducked under his left arm. She began to walk away. Every few steps she'd turn around and smile, wave, or blow kisses. She did that until she couldn't see him anymore. She sighed a happy, content sigh and walked into her room. What she saw when she arrived surprised her.
