Chapter 8
Lily awoke in her bed the next morning, the sound of chirping just outside her window. Standing, she stretched and made herself over to the window, pulling the curtains wide open, and opening the window to let in the soft breeze. She smiled down at the small bird that lay in the plants hanging from her sill. "What are you doing out here? It's so cold out." Gently lifted the bird. "Oh, your wing is broken. You poor thing." She held it close then made her way out of her room.
Duo, who had been heading towards the girl's room, blinked when he saw her running down the hall. "Lily? What's wrong? What ya got there?"
Lily smiled and held the small bird out to him. "I found it in my plants. The poor thing is hurt. I was going to see if Quatre had a small cage I could keep it in for now. Just until it heals."
"Oh, I know where you can find one." He grinned and led the girl to a small room.
Sakura, who had been watching from her doorway, couldn't help but smile. So this is the guy her friend had a crush on. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and nodded. If it was her brother then of course she approved. She turned and started walking in the other direction when she ran into Heero.
"Oh, Heero..."
Heero blinked at the girl and nodded. "Have you seen Lily?"
Sakura grinned and nodded. "Yup. Sure have. But I wouldn't bother her right now. She's currently with Duo." So she grabbed his arm and led him down the hall. "Why don't you show me around the place instead?"
Heero stared at her for a moment, and finally nodded. "Hai."

Lily giggled as she set the cage next to her bed and sat down. "You're such a pretty little bird." She smiled at Duo who had sat next to her. "Thank you."
"No prob babe." He grinned. "Anything for you." He listened as she let out a small giggle. He loved her laugh. It was so beautiful.
Lily stared at the bird, admiring it's beauty. "Hm... You know... I'm really happy that Sakura-chan is alright. I was so worried about her." She shook her head. "I'm sorry. You were probably more worried."
"Hm... I wonder. Someone... I get the feeling... you worried more." He placed a hand on her head and she looked up at him. "I'm sorry to have worried you Lily-chan."
"Duo..."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Sakura-san." Quatre smiled to the girl.
Sakura smiled. This boy was alright, but in her mind she thought he was just too polite. "Thank you for letting me stay here."
"It's my pleasure. Any relative of Duo's is a friend of mine."
And creepy, she thought. No one is ever that nice. But she shook it off, and decided just to be polite since he was letting her live here from now on. She smiled at Heero. "Can you show me outside next? When I looked out earlier I noticed there was a lot of land... This place is very big."
Heero nodded and led the girl outside. He'd wanted to go see Lily, but Sakura had insisted on letting her have her time with Duo. Heero figured he could just speak with her later.
"It's amazing, isn't it Trowa?" Quatre smiled at the taller boy. "The fact that Lily and Sakura were best friends before." Trowa only nodded. It made Quatre smile more. He was used the taller boy's silence. "Well, at least with both girls staying here, they'll be safer."
