Just managing to drag herself off the dance floor, Usagi managed to climb up the stairs to the private couches and plop down in the over stuffed over used coach.

Catching the eye of Lita, she pointed to the drinks and walking gratefully away from a to pushy man, Lita grabbed the neck of two bottles and flopped down onto the coach beside Usagi. Handing her the Fruit drink, because they might have had to race tonight, Lita sighed. Resting her head against the back of the coach, she sighed. "There really are no good men out here now." She said with regret. If it was one thing Lita liked it was men, Not only as potential love interests but as friends also. In fact you could say the four girls where her only female friends so far as anybody else knew.

Shaking her head even though it hurt from all the shaking it had gotten on the dance floor, Usagi giggled "Nahh, you just not looking hard enough. I was dancing with a real cutie pie a while back but he got lost in the crush." Lita noticed Usagi didn't appear that overly depressed at the disappeared guy but then again, what did she know.

The longest relationship she had had was with a guy who she hadn't met for over two years. What a relationship that had been, All too weeks of it, that is. Snorting slightly at the thought. Luckily enough it couldn't be heard over the loud music.

As the two finished the bottle, Lita noticed a cutie on the dance floor. Pulling Usagi up, she dragged her down onto the dance floor and danced her way right up to him where she, by accident off course, tripped over him starting a conversation.

Looking from the background, Usagi had to smile, the trick was old and simple but it had never failed any of the girls yet.

Starting when a hand encased her waist, she looked over her shoulder before relaxing. Shaking his head to the dancing couples around him, he could be heard asking over the noise "Can I have this dance?" Smiling she dragged him onto the dance floor her energy replenished.

**

Stepping out of the convenient dark hallway, Ami whipped an imaginary piece of lipstick off her lips and smiled. Not bad at all, she thought. Smiling even more when she felt the strong-arms wrap themselves around her waist.

Leaning against the railway, she looked down at the dancing couples. Twisting her head, she asked, "You feel like dancing?" Nodding he led the way, Holding Ami tightly against his side. The walk to the dance floor seemed long and it gave Trowa plenty of time to think.

He had never felt this way about any girl before and it really really scared him. She was so small, barely coming up to shoulders but she fit so perfectly against his side that he had a hard time remembering when she hadn't been there. As the crowd pushed against her, Trowa fought the unfamiliar urge to kill everyone in the room. He wondered if she would mind and nearly kicked himself when he realised what he had been thinking. It was way too soon in any relationship to be this over protective and yet he was. Go figure. Pushing a space for them on the dance floor, he started moving a bit but mainly let Ami dance. After all she seemed to be the one who knew what she was doing. Dancing in circles around him, her smell pulled at his senses and her body twisting and turning caused many unexpected feelings in his body, some of them he couldn't keep hidden. The crowd pushing against her, she fell against him and stopped. Standing still for a few seconds, her body held safe in his arms, when she looked up at him, she had a blush on her face and somehow he just knew that she had felt what was under his trousers. Shrugging his shoulders in an "I can't do anything about it" shrug, she smiled. Somehow he knew that dancing had not been a good idea, it allowed his body to get into close contact with hers, and he really didn't need all that more contact. Her standing beside him was enough. Looking up to the roof as if it could offer him divine inspiration, he had to wonder "Why me? And more specifically why now when he was actually in front of his obsession.

Bending he pulled her in front of him to hide a certain bulge and glaring at anyone who dared stand in his way, they made their way up to the couches and the private bar.

**

The night was nearly over and although Rei had gotten a lot of lewd suggestions and some not so flattering ones, she had mostly found herself bored tonight, which was a total waste of her time. But it wasn't really her fault, she had physced herself up for Wu fei and then the bastard decides not to turn up. She was seriously thinking about giving up on them altogether when she spotted Ami and Trowa making their way upstairs, his arms protecting and she decided against. If only she could find someone like that, sighing. Seriously doubting the possibility of that. Someone who could love her and what she did unconditionally, snorting as if she made a joke. She had to wonder if there were even any of those guys left in the world.

Not turning when she felt the presence beside her, she smiled. "It was a good night, no?" Usagi answered still resting from her last dancing spree "Yeah, but it would have been better if those stupid idiots had turned up." Pushing at her waistcoat as if to check everything was still in its rightful place, she added "I would have had a reason for wearing this bloody baka attractor. Its like they think the only thing that would interest them in me would be these two dancing puppies. I would have had Heero panting instead and to be honest I think I would have preferred if he had been here." Nodding, even though she had gotten lost half way through when the dancing puppies had looked like they where going to pop out.

Heating the walky talky over the loud dance music, Rei turned it up. "Ten four people, we have unwanted guests. I need someone down here to verify identity."

Nodding to Usagi, Rei answered. What the hell she thought at least it would be a bit of fun.

Grabbing a bike, Rei swung her leg over the back, and laughing her head of at the surprised look of the bystanders, as Usagi spun away heading towards the large gates.

Swinging her leg over the seat, Rei straightened her boots, and pulling the jacket open, she breathed deeply. Shrugging at Usagi's openly crazed look. "What can I say, this thing is bloody warm." Laughing at this, Usagi smirked. She had worn that top to get attention and by opening the jacket she was guaranteeing more.

Swinging open the doors, they stepped through and stopped dead.

Heero and Wu fei starred and drooled and then starred some more. They knew the girls partied and kept their bodies in great shape but damn.

Their emotions and thoughts showing on their faces, Usagi and Rei smiled. It had been worth it wearing these outfits to see the look on the guy's faces. It had been everything they had expected and more.

Ten minutes passed and by then the girls had grown bored. Granted they liked the attention but still, enough was enough.

Usagi stepping forward put a little bounce in her step and smiled when she noticed Heero's eye twitching a lot. "What do you want?" she asked him.

Barely managing to resist the urge to say "You," he finally remembered why they were there and shoving the invitation out kept on starring.

Looking at the invitation, she smiled. They where good looking and all but all still they had stood her and her friend up and they where going to suffer for it.

Placing the invite back into his hand, she turned around, shouting back "Your too late. The party is over and the people are clearing out. You should have been here earlier." Winking at Rei who looked like she was going to attack her she winked and kept on walking.

Hearing the bike she had come on rev in warning Rei too turned. Walking back towards the gates, she stopped and turned. Running towards the still shocked Wu fei, she pulled his head down and gave him a kiss that rocked him to his very bones, before turning and running inside the gates. Jumping onto the back of the bike, they rode back, Rei not worrying about what Wu fei would think. Knowing that if all came to all she would just place the blame on having a little too much drink that night. Who ever had come up with that excuse had to be like a millionaire by now, she thought.

Back at the gates, Wu fei and Heero still stood shocked and openly distrusting of the guys who had been looking at their girls.

Turning back to his car, Wu fei grabbed Heero's arm. "Where the hell do you think you are going? We are going in after them."

Heero pulled out of the hold, and snapped "She doesn't want me there."

Wu fei stepped back in shock and then started laughing. "Are you crazy man? She really really wants you there, that was her signal. Do you really want anyone else looking at her more then ample goods?" Knowing that he had won the argument with the last sentence, he grabbed his keys from his pocket, and stepping up to one of the guards handed him a two hundred dollar bill.

Laughing the guy took it and opened the gates to let the two cars in.

Driving down what seemed to be an endless driveway, they passed many cars leaving.

Tightening his hands on the starring wheel, Wu fei smiled. What she had told them must have been true and yet like hell was he leaving without at least getting a dance with Rei in that super sexy super minuscule outfit.

Usagi felt bad that she had Left Heero out side the gate and by now knowing him he would be half way back to where he had come from.

Feeling slightly remorseful, and hoping that she had done the right thing, she allowed Quatra to pull her onto the dance floor. She could swear she had seen him before this night, but for the life of her she could not remember where. She had met him on the stairway where she lived, that she knew. But she could swear she had seen him somewhere else as well.

That said, he was a really good dancer and he seemed to be keeping all the creeps away from her.

Allowing him to pull her closer, she fought the impulse to squirm. She wasn't even going out with Heero, for heavens sake she hadn't even gotten a kiss from the idiot but still she felt as if it was wrong to be dancing this close to anyone but him.

Raising her head, she looked over his shoulder and taking a deep breath was about to push herself out of his arms when she saw him. The look in his eyes was so cold; it could be described as artic. She could feel her heart crumble at her feet. Tensing, Usagi pushed Quatra away and He realising something was wrong turned to see what had gotten her so upset. As he looked into a pair of enraged eyes, he wondered what he had done. Racking his mind he tried to think of something. And came up with nothing.

Heero had been somewhat happy coming in through the doors, he had decided for once and all there where going to find out what was between them. He knew he had never felt this way before and guessing from observation, neither had Usagi. Pushing people out of his way, he searched for her recognisable blonde hair. Seeing blonde in the corner, he made his way over and nearly growled. Pulling Duo away, he grimaced. It wasn't Usagi. But she looked a lot like her. Pulling himself out of Heero's grip, Dup turned to his friend. Starring at each other, Mina guessed that they where having some kind of guilt starring competition. Although when the new guy gave in first and held out his hand, she could tell the guy she had been with was very very surprised. Grabbing the hand, Duo pulled the hand and they did a kind of one-armed hug. Releasing the arm, Duo leaned back against the wall. "So I see you got here?"

Heero answered, although slightly gruffly "Like I would miss my friends birthday!"

Laughing, Duo shook his head. "No I know you wouldn't miss my birthday but could there be another reason why you would come here. Like say, a female reason?" He asked, smirking when he saw Heero's face.

"You could be right." He answered.

Knowing when the two men may want to be alone, Mina got up and Kissing Duo on the cheek said to him "Happy birthday!" Slipping a folded piece of paper into his hand, she closed his fingers around it and with a "You know where to find me." Disappeared into the crowd.

Grabbing two beers from a bar, he passed one to Duo and swinging his leg over a seat, capped the top and started to drink. Gesturing to Duo's hand, Heero asked "You going to call her?"

Looking down at his hand for a few minutes, Duo appeared to be thinking quite deeply but when he looked up, all the was one his face was a huge grin, and a look that clearly said, are you kidding me. Feeling the need to reiterate his answer, he all but shouted "Hell yeah."

Taking another sip of the beer, Heero looked around at the racing crowd. "I thought there was supposed to be a race tonight?"

Shaking his head, Duo answered "No. That's like next week. There where some racers who won't be ready till next week, so they decided to postpone it till then. They have also promised to have Haruka Tenou as a guest judge, and there will be a top prize of a make over on your car by the best mechanics and art workers in the business." Spotting Rei with Wu fei on the dance floor, he turned his head away. "God those two don't waste any time!"

Tipping his head to the side, Duo spotted them and for the sake of his sanity turned away also. "You're right about that."

Pushing the small talk to the side, Heero spoke about what or more specifically who was on his mind. "So, you see Usagi tonight?"

"Yeah, she was really disappointed when you didn't show." Anger could still be heard in his voice, But Heero was oblivious.

"How did Usagi get invited? I didn't think this was her kind of thing!"

Choking on the beer he had just swallowed, Duo coughed until it was gone. Thinking quickly, he realised that Heero still didn't know about the girls, and if that was the case it wasn't his place to tell him. It was after all Usagi's secret, in which case he had to cover for her. "Umm, I think she came with a friend. And what do you mean that this isnt here thing. Have you seen her car? It is a piece of art." Swallowing guiltily, before he started to squeal like a pig, he hoped Heero would be satisfied with his answer, But Heero never did answer.

Getting up, Heero walked over to the middle of the dance floor, where seconds before he had seen another blonde. Staying far away he waited until he saw her face before he planned on ripping the guy to shreds.

When he saw her face, he could see the guilt and if anything he could feel the rage building.

Pulling out of the guys arms, she turned to him, and it was then That Heero could feel the rage boiling. Quatra, one of his best friends, had been holding his girl. But when Quatra still looked into his eyes as if he had done nothing wrong, that was when he broke. Rushing forward, before anyone could stop him. He raised his fist, and pulling it back, smashed it into Quatra's face, tumbling him back into more dancers who hadn't realised there was something big happening.

Quatra landed in a slump against a tall Brunette. Bending low she cradled his head In her lap and ordered those around her to get a napkin and some ice, Quickly.

Usagi didn't even look at Quatra. Reaching out to grab Heero's arm, She could feel tears start to well in her eyes, when he flinched away from her.

Opening her mouth to ask why, he surprised her by turned away from her with a look that clearly spoke "slut!" and walked calmly out of the party. Hearing a car rev outside, she knew it was he when it took off with a large squeal of tyres.

Wiping the tears that had slowly leaked form her eyes, she turned to the matter at hand. Motioning to the two guards who had been alerted by the stopping of the music, she smiled gratefully when they brought the downed man to the girl's private quarters.

Laying him gently on the couch, She went to get the first aid kit.

Grabbing a mike from the top shelf, she opened the door and walking out onto the landing, she stopped the music, which had started after they had carried the guy off. Raising it to her lips she spoke "I hope you guys enjoyed yourself, and that you will be here next week for the party, but right now. That party is over. You need to get the hell out, and find somewhere else to party. I would advise the red shed of fourth and Lester. They just started races a half an hour ago so you should be just I time for the good stuff. Thanks for coming. Could Ice, flame and speed come to the private quarters."

Grumbling as the music was turned off, the crowd excited the building leaving only the girls and the three guys. Pulling Rei closer to him, Wu fei whispered into her ear "Maybe we should leave and go someplace quieter?"

Shaking her head, Rei answered apologetically. "Can't I just got called. I probably going to be busy for the next while." Looking inquisitively at her, he asked, "What do you actually do? Apart from yoga that is."

Pushing back, she answered, "I am an artist. I design cars and also do the art work on some of the best."

Shocked, Wu Fei's jaw dropped. "You're not serious?"

Pulling back, until she stood on her own, she answered indignantly "Yes, I am. Do you have a problem with that?" Latent anger in ever line of her body that quickly melted away when she heard his answer "Hell no, you're my perfect girl after all." Wiggling his eyes brows at her, she allowed him to pull her back into his arms. Leaning his chin against her forehead, he asked, "You want to go out tomorrow night?"

Nodding, she answered. Pulling back she gave him a quick kiss then turned and walked towards a door that had been obstructed for the night. Pressing in a code, he watched as she disappeared.

Hearing coughs behind him, he turned to his friends. Looking around, he didn't see Heero. "Should I take it that Heero's gone with Usagi?" He asked smiling. The smiled was quickly wiped of his face when no body answered. "Where is Heero?"

Duo answered, "We don't know. H e found Usagi dancing with Quatra, gave him a black eye and left."

Grabbing the keys from his pocket, Rei forgotten, he walked outside. "He cant have gotten far, I'll check his favourite haunts, Duo check the bars and Trowa stay with Quatra. He'll need someone to bring him home."

Slamming the door to his car, Wu fei turned it on and drove down the road turning at the end to go into the city.

***

It was hours before Usagi could get back to the dorm, Quatra was going to have a hell of a bruiser tomorrow. But right now that was not what she was thinking about. What she was thinking about was the betrayed and cold look in Heero's eyes when he had looked at her. She had to explain so much to him.

But when she got there, she got another shock. He wasn't there and neither were his things.

This time circumstance had really played a big trick on her, and somehow she doubted it was going to be easy to overcome.
