"Strange Relationship"
Chapter Three: The Plan
"They agreed to the dates!" Cat said as she burst into Relena's room.
"What?!" Relena couldn't believe it. 'Why?' She wondered to herself partly because she knew the girls would tell her some off the wall reason like that the pilots really loved her or something.
"That's great!" All the other girls cheered.
"So who should go on the first date?" Hilde asked.
The girls thought for a second. Noin looked up from her laptop. "Quatre knows Relena best out of all five of the pilots even Heero. Why don't you try letting Trowa and Wufei go on the first dates so they can be on a more even playing field with Quatre?"
"Noin's right. But which one should go first?" Dorothy was pacing now.
"It's the stone-faced clown or the silent dragon. This should prove to be interesting if they actually talk to her."
"Hilde! Trowa does talk to her!"
"Well I'm sorry Cat but he must only talk to Relena when no one else is around because we've never seen it."
"Who would you like to go on a date with first, Relena?" Dorothy asked.
Even though she wasn't sure she should go along with this plan in the beginning, Relena decided to just go with the flow of things and see what happened in the end. She closed her eyes and tried to picture the pilot she wanted to get to know first. The pilot in her mind opened his eyes to reveal flames of passion in his green eyes. Relena's eyes flew open. "Trowa…" She whispered.
"…" The other girls looked at Relena then back at each other.
"Is it just me or did she sound kinda day dreamy when she said Trowa's name?" Hilde asked. The other girls just nodded.
"Okay…Trowa is going on the first date. I'll go let them know while you girls start planning the date." Catherine was grinning like Duo as she walked out of Relena's room and headed to the braided pilot's room to tell the boys the news.
Meanwhile in Duo's room…
"So here are the basics of the plan. Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre will go on dates with Relena while I keep Heero company on the missions Noin and Sally send him on. That way I can keep Heero away from anything Relena related. Although I just thought of something…do you think the other girls would be interested in dating Heero?"
Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre stared at Duo.
"Why would you suggest that? Dorothy despises him, Hilde is your girlfriend, and my sister…well she's my sister so I'm not going to even think about that."
"Well to be honest with you, Hilde and I aren't really working out."
"Oh? What's wrong with the woman?"
"Nothing really but we worked better when we were friends and not a couple."
"So are you suggesting we try to set Cat and Hilde up with Heero?"
"Yeah, I think I am Quatre."
"My sister with Heero?!"
"It makes since when you think about it. If he pisses her off she can just throw knives at him. Plus she handles you pretty well and she nursed Heero back to health when he self-destructed."
All four pilots thought about it. "If he hurts her or tries anything funny with her then I get to hurt him." Trowa announced.
"Deal." The other pilots shook hands on it.
"KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK…"
Duo opens the door and lets Cat in. "What's up Cat?"
"Relena accepted the plan and we've decided the order of the dates."
The pilots look at her expectantly. "So?"
"Well Quatre's the closest with her so we figure Trowa and Wufei should go first to make it a more level playing field. So Trowa is the first date, Wufei is the second date, and then Quatre is the third and we'll just repeat that order."
"Sounds good."
"It's fine."
"Alright."
"I'm going back to Relena's room. Play nice boys!" Catherine shut the door behind her as she walked out the door.
The pilots decided to watch a movie so they could basically zone out and think about Relena (not that they would admit it). During the movie, Duo pulled Quatre aside.
"Don't you think Hilde would work great with Wufei?"
"Well…she's a fighter like his wife was so I guess I could see them as a couple easier than him and Relena being a couple."
"That's what I was thinking. But I don't want to make him mad by bringing it up to him."
"Well let's see how he feels about Relena after his date then we can decide if we should try and set him up with Hilde or not."
"Sounds like a plan to me. Can we keep this a secret between us? Don't even tell the girls."
"Of course."
