Thanks for reviewing guys! I'm sorry this chapter took longer than the last chapter!
Only Friends or More?
Chapter Three:
Relena stretched and sat up in bed. When she opened her eyes, she could've sworn she was still dreaming. Duo and Trowa were fast asleep on the floor on each side of her bed. She quietly crawled to the end of her bed and climbed onto the floor. Tiptoeing across the carpet, she opened her door a crack.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"AHH!" Relena yelled and jumped back a little. "Oh Wufei, it's just you." She whispered.
"Why are you whispering woman?"
"Shhh!" Relena pointed to Duo and Trowa.
"That's pathetic." With that Wufei shut the door with a slam.
The door slamming caused Duo and Trowa to wake up and stand up in the blink of an eye.
"Morning guys!" Relena said with a little giggle.
"Oh man! I have a headache!" Duo flopped onto the bed.
"…" Trowa flopped onto the bed also.
"Hahahaha!" Relena couldn't hold her laughter anymore.
"It's not funny!" Both pilots yelled. Then groaned and turned on their stomachs.
"I'm truly sorry guys. How about you take some Migraine Excedrin and shower, then we'll find something to do today!"
"Sure." They said in unison.
"…You owe me two now, Duo."
"Yeah, I know."
Thirty minutes later: (Gundam pilots don't take very much time to get ready)
"Feeling better?" Relena asked.
"I'm feeling myself now! Thanks Relena." Duo grinned.
"I'm feeling normal as well." Trowa pointed at Duo. "But are you sure having Duo back to his version of normal is a good thing?"
"Hey!"
"Would you rather have him complaining the entire day?"
"Guys!"
"Good point."
"Some friends you two are, talking bad about me to my face." Duo pouted.
"Would you rather we talk bad about you behind your back?" Trowa asked.
"…uh…guess not."
Trowa smiled and thought to himself 'Trowa: two and Duo: none.)
"How about we go to lunch?" Relena asked.
"Lunch!"
"Well that cheered him up." Trowa chuckled.
"Come on guys! Let's go eat!" Duo was already halfway down the stairs, knocking Wufei on his butt in the process.
"Maxwell! Get back here!" Wufei took off down the stairs after Duo.
"We're coming! Hold your horses!" Relena yelled. She and Trowa went downstairs and outside only to see Duo running around the circle driveway being chased by Wufei. Relena and Trowa laughed as they got in Trowa's black 2007 Chevy Avalanche (I love this truck!). Wufei calmed down and he and Duo climbed in the truck a few minutes later. But Duo stayed as far away from Wufei as was physically possible in the backseat. Just in case he had to jump out of the truck to save himself from Wufei's wrath. Not that Duo would ever do anything on purpose to make Wufei angry. (Yeah, right.)
Finally on the road:
"So where are we gonna eat?"
"…well I hadn't really thought of a place to go yet." Relena admitted.
"…" All three pilots were quiet for a short period of time (very short in Duo's case).
"What! You don't know where we should eat? I might starve if I don't get some grub!"
"That's highly unlikely Maxwell."
"I could!"
"I have an idea." Trowa said.
"So…" Duo asked.
"You'll see."
"No fair, dude! You should at least…" Duo was cut off by Trowa.
"We're here." Trowa announced.
"What?" Duo yelled. "That wasn't even a second after you told us you had an idea of where to eat!"
"What's your point?" Trowa raised an eyebrow.
"…um…I'm not sure if I have a point."
Trowa smiled and thought to himself 'Trowa: three and Duo: none.'
"So can we go in and eat now?"
"Of course we can Relena."
"Yeah!" Relena clapped.
"Well let's go!" Duo opened his door and beat the others to the restaurant door.
Once they were seated and had ordered, Duo, Wufei, and Relena started to look around the restaurant.
"Trowa this place is beautiful!"
"Nice choice, Barton."
"Man, how'd you find a place like this?"
Trowa simply smiled. "I own it."
"…What!" Relena, Wufei, and Duo's jaws dropped to the floor.
"Didn't you notice the sign above the door?"
Relena, Duo, and Wufei ran outside. Sure enough, the sign read: T. B.'s Place. All three ran back to their seats.
"When did you buy this Trowa?" Relena asked.
"On your birthday last year. I was going to tell you, but I wanted it to do good before any one knew."
"So I'm gonna guess that it's doing pretty good?"
"Yes Duo, it's doing very well. So well that if I ever decide to quit my job as a Preventer, which won't happen as long as Relena is in the spotlight, I wouldn't have to worry about money for five or six more years."
"Wow!"
"You've done very well, Barton." Wufei said with a short nod.
"Thank you Wufei."
The conversation continued and switched to other less important to name topics throughout lunch. After lunch the group went back to the mansion.
Back in Relena's room: (Wufei's outside guarding the door again)
"So Relena, I've been thinking."
"Did you sprain anything?"
"Be nice Trowa. Please continue Duo."
Duo stuck his tongue out at Trowa then quickly sucked it back in his mouth when he saw a pair of tiny shiny silver scissors behind Trowa's back.
"…I've…uh…been thinking…um…about Hilde and Heero's wedding."
Relena stiffened. "What about it?"
"Are we gonna wear matching outfits or are we gonna color coordinate or…are we gonna show up in our birthday suits?" Duo grinned slightly.
Relena and Trowa cracked up.
"I hadn't really thought about our outfits. Are you coming to the wedding too, Trowa?"
"I was invited, but I hadn't given it much thought."
"We should all go together!" Relena said.
"Sure I'll go with you two."
"Cool! Now what are we going to wear?" Duo asked again.
"…" All three thought for a second.
"Well what are our favorite colors? I like pink and black."
"You like black? Since when?"
"I've always liked it, Duo. But you guys only notice all the pink stuff I have."
"Oh…um…well I like purple and black."
"I like green and black." Trowa said.
Relena got the perfect idea. "How about you guys wear black tuxes and I'll wear a black dress. Then we'll use our other favorite colors as accessory colors. That way we match but we're slightly different from each other. Sound good?"
"Sounds really good!" Both pilots exclaimed.
They then went into town and purchased brand new tuxes (Relena wanted them to have new suits to wear at the parties she went to where they were her bodyguards) and Relena's dress.
