Christmas Thoughts
Duo's POV:
Duo Maxwell shuffled tired , dirty, and grouchy into the apartment on L2 and into his room right to his bathroom. ' Damn I'm tired, but finally all that work is done for awhile, can't believe how big this business that Hildie cooked up is now. We need more help. I can't do everything' He stripped out of his cloths and turned the shower on, steam soon drifted around the bathroom fogging up the mirror. Duo scrubbed himself clean and washed his long hair twice. An hr later he was sitting on his bed combing his hair out. The phone rang, 'Shit who would be calling now? '
" Hey Duo, you going to be ready in an hr? " Hildie's voice chirpped over the phone.
" Get ready for what? I just got out of the shower." Duo grumbled.
" Oh Duo you forgot, Quatre's Christmas Ball? " Hildie tsked, " I can't believe you. "
"What!! we're leaving to night , damn damn damn. " he started packing up cloths and grabbing the bag with gifts for his friends.
" Duo did you get Heero's gift? " Hildie called Duo stopped 'shit no I didn't, oh man I'm not into this, maybe I shouldn't go.' " Duo? You there? "
" Yea , Hildie look I'm not going, I'm tired, and I don't think I would be welcomed anyway, Heero would problly shot me if I gave him a gift." Duo sighed " I'm just not into this. "
There was silence over the phone, then " DUO MAXWELL!!! YOU WILL HAVE YOUR ASS OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR IN 20 MINS OR I WILL REAK DOWN THAT DOOT AND DRAG YOU OUT!!!! " Duo jumped landed on the floor and coward away from the phone.
" O. . Oh ok Hil. . don't go nuts on me. " Duo sighed. " I'll be ready. "
" Good we have a stop to make before we leave so be ready. " Hildie then hung up.
" Damn that woman is scary when she's pissed. " Duo finished packing, got his warm cloths on, and waited by the door. ' What am I going to get Heero?, he said something strange the last time I saw him which was,. . . hmm when he became the princess's head of security. ' Duo thought ' I never felt for anyone, never had a warm embrass from a parent, or loved anyone. ' Heero had give Duo a strange look then. ' You seem to show so much feeling it's hard not to feel anything when your around. ' and he had givin Duo a smile. ' Duo jumped when a banging knock sounded at his door. He flung it open " Shit! he came face to face with a averageheight young man who was giving him a big grin. " Damn it Brain you scared the hell out of me. " Brain and Hildie laughed
" Well Duo I never thought I would beable to sneak up on you, where was your mind. " Brain grabbed Duo's things up to take them to the car. " I hope you didn't lose it anywhere we don't have time to look for it. "
" Ha Ha , laugh it up. " Duo stuck his tongue out Hildie smacked lightly on th head, " OWWWW Brain your wife to be is hurting me. " Duo whined
" I'll hurt you alright you gruchy grinch. " Hildie pushed him to the car. " Lets go we have to make acouple stops first. " They all got in and drove off. They drove for awhile to the outskirts of twon to a broken down part. Duo wasn't liking this.
" Where are we going? Won't our plane leave soon? "
" We have 5 hours till it leaves, oh here we are. " Hildie got out when the car was parked. Duo looked around it was a big building and there were people gathered around, but these people weren't rich, they were the total oppsite. 'WTF where are we? ' He looked up at the sign and his eyes got real big.
Maxwell's Comunity Center
We serve meals, we offer rooms, medical attention, cloths,
and we offer job and housing oppertunities.
Duo gapped ' Since when did I set this up? ' Hildie was smiling at him and pulled him along and took him to the front desk area.
" I Jenny hows it going? " Hildie grinned at the woman at the desk.
" Very well Hildie. " she looked at Duo, the woman was short with black hair in a neat bun with wirerimmed glasses " Oh you must be Mr Maxwell, oh this card is for you. " she handed him a card with his name on it.
Dear Duo,
Merry Christmas, I sure hope you are surprised, I know how hard you have been working to help the those unforturnate on L2, pluse working for Hildie. We did know what to give you so we gave you this building and with Hildie's and Releena's help set everything up. I hope your not mad and we hope you will make it to the Christmas Ball. Heero will be here, Releena will make sure of that, he works to hard, he needs to relax.
Please except this gift Duo, and please come to the Winter palace.

Quatre, Trowa, Releena & Richard, Hildie & Brain.
He couldn't believe it, he had been tring to help rebuild L2, it might not be much of a colony and it may be poor but there were still good people here. He turned to Hildie, and Brain, they were both waiting for him to say something.
" Damn. " He said softly and looked around him , the place was decorated brightly. and it was warm and inviting.
" Why don't I show you around, hmm. " Jenny stood and motioned for them to follow, " This is a job serevicing area where people can fill out aps and be considered for jobs on Earth, or the colonies. " The room wasn't filled right now, because of the holidays. " here we have a preschool as for the little ones this palce was filled, small children palying and laughing. They were clean with clean cloths and smiling faces. Duo watched amazed even with dire cirinstanes these children were full of life and joy. He chuckled seeing a cute little blonde girl hugging a little boy. ' Wow this is something ' His dark tired mood cracked and his eye were getting misty. he dreamed of something like this, he didn't have a real Christmas until Maxwell Church.
They walked down a hallway into what looked like another building.
" This use to be a school well it's a better school now there are also dorms for orphan children, they help keep the place clean and neat, as well as go to classes to learn it is not totally perfect yet, but it is coming along very well. the people of this community really want something better for their children and themselves. " Duo understood that they made their way to a social hall in the school there were alot of kids still here. They had the street look, Duo knew these were mostly the orphans from the streets, some were thin and pale, but they were clean and their cloths weren't ragged. The kids looked up and acouple waved to Jenny.
" Hey kids this is Mr. Maxwell. "
A young boy with brown eyes and hair spoke " Yea? " they all still had the smart attitudes of the street.
" Yea. " Duo replied " You don't ahve to call me Mr. "
" Wasn't going ta." the same boy said giving him a smirk, they were testing him
" Good, " He met the boys eyes stright on. The boy reliquished the staring contest.
" What do we call ya then? "
" Duo " the boy nodded
" Jack " the boy pointed to himself and grinned.
" Ok Jack, I'm glad you all desided to come here, I was also from the streets but I was given a chance for a different life and I hope you all take the chance that is now given to you, Merry Christmas gentlemen and ladies " noticing it wasn't just boys around. The kids looked at Duo then there was whispering, and then grins and some gigles from the girls. They all stood up.
" MERRY CHRISTMAS DUO, "
Duo was over welmed with a feeling of warmth, they left the school to a dinning hall where peole gathered to eat, many were here as well. There was a medical building it was low staffed but they were told acouple more peole were coming after the Holiday. The place was amazing and it gave light and hope to Duo. As they left the building Duo hugged a surprised Jenny "Thank you " she smiled and patted him on the arm.
He then turned and grabbed Hildie and gave her a big hug. brain got a shock of his life when Duo hug him to. they left for the port, boarded the plane. Duo then realized what Heero ment about not being able to feel and never had the warm embrass of a parent or loved one. He grabbed a phone and got ahold of Quatre. ' I'll give him a gift he wouldn't expect. ' grinning from ear to ear feeling totally better.
They finally made it the place was wonderful Duo stared at it 'Holy Shit!, I'm going to get lost in this thing. '
" Come on Duo move your butt. " Hildie and Brain walked into the palace of mazes.
they were shown their room Duo changed quickly, Hildie and Brian walked behind Duo. with a grin on his face and a happy step, they entered the parlor to see all who was there.
" Merry Christmas my friends, the life of the party has arrived. " Duo flung his arms wide to embrass the whole room. " Meet Brian Hess, Hildie and him are going to tie the knot next year ! "
There was congradulations and a look from hildie at Duo that promised ' I'll get you.' Duo just ignored it because he scanned the room and spotted a tall young man in the back framed by a winter wonder land in the back ground. ' Damn he is hot. ' Duo started walking towards him, ' Poor guy he has a totally shocked look this will be fun and Quatre did put it up good. '
" Hey Heero buddy. " Duo purred, then he pointed up, Heeero looked up and right above his head was misltoe. ' He is soo cute.' " Sorry Ro it's tradition. "
Duo leapped into Heero's arms and was totally taken back when Heero grabbed him and kiss him full on the mouth. It was amazing shock waves went through Duo and he opened his mouth to Heero.
Heero's POV:
Heero grabbed Duo as soon as he leaped into his arms and kissed him, it felt good, the warmth and the feeling was undescribable. He felt Duo melt up against him and open his mouth to him, it was sweet like honey.
They didn't hear the cheering going around them, when they finally looked at each other. Duo smiled.
" Merry Christmas Ro. "
" Merry Christmas Duo. "
They kissed agian enjoying the warth each other felt Heero feeling warm and loved, Duo feeling excepted and cared for. This was the feeling one should have not only for the Holidays, but every day.
Trowa's POV
Seeing those two finally get togeather was a very good feeling they seemed to shine and pulse with wonderful feelings.
" Can I have everyone's attention." Trowa spok he stood in front of a large fireplace, everyone gathered around, even Duo and Heero when Hildie pulled them away, even Heero's glare wouldn't stop her from pushing them forward. " I'm not good at speeches. . . . .but I wondered what to give to the one person in my life, who has everything." Trowa motion Quatre forward. Quatre with blush on his cheeks approched. trowa took his hand. Quatre gasped as Trowa kneeled in front of him " I know we are married and we pleaged ourselves with vows, but I don't think. . . .I don't think it's enough.
Quatre,
I give you my streagth when you need it to keep going,
I give you my courage, to face the world,
I give you my shoulder to rest or shed your tears,
I give you my arms to cling to or when you need the feel of touch,
I give you my devotion, to be by your side always,
I give you my protection, I will protect you from the bad things in life,
I give you my heart, that beats only for you,
for I love you and I don't feel complete with out you.
Trowa then placed another ring infront of the wedding ring, it was all white and it gleemed, it had no jewel ,but it's own glittering surface.
" It is a ring from our Gundams the small pieces that I kept to remeber. " Tear made a trail down Quatre's face, and he fell into Trowas arms.
" I love you too Trowa, this is the best Christmas present you could give me. " Quater smiled up at him.
" I over heard a small child speak of making a peom and confession of love to their father, I desided to do the samething but to the one who was my soul mate." Trowa smiled at Quatre and gently wiped the tears from his eyes. Cheers arrupted in the room. They stood and embrassed, they went to the friends they considered familly and had the most wonderful, bright and loving party.
" Wu!!!! you got me Manga!!!!!!!!!, " Duo leaped at Wufie, who was despertly trying to get up off the floor from a hugging, and very thankful Duo. "
" MAXWELL GET OFF ME!!!!!!!! "
Merry Christmas to all and all a good night.
