They Were Stuck

"Will you please stop it?" she snapped. There he was, smacking and chewing the gum in his mouth. "Does this upset you?" he asked, narrowing his eyes deviously. She glared at him, extremely irritated. "Yes." She replied curtly, trying to finish her daily one hour reading session.

"Upset you enough," he began smacking his gum again. "To kill a mockingbird?" he eyed the title of her book mischievously.

"Wufei, enough is enough!" Ami shrieked, the corners of her lips pursed together. Wufei chuckled under his breath. "You look lovely when you're upset." He commented. Ami's jaw dropped slightly as she arched both her brows at him. "What is wrong with you? Are you drunk?" she placed a hand on his shoulder and forced his face towards her. She wrinkled her nose as soon as she took a whiff.

"Gracious, Wufei. Why are you drunk in the middle of the day?" her expression was a mixture of irritation and worry. "You want to know why, you stupid girl?" his eyes fluttered open and he gave her a wry smile.

Ami was used to him calling her stupid. That was the name he addressed her to everyday. "Tell me." She demanded. "Because," he began. "She didn't leave him. She doesn't love me." He leaned way in towards her and Ami was forced to hold him up. His head rested on her shoulder.

"You're insane." Ami commented, rolling her eyes and patted his back in comfort. "Don't get drunk over some girl. Goodness, just move on with your life." She told him. Wufei sneered. "Easy for you to say—you've never even had a boyfriend." Ami wanted to let go of him and drop him on the floor, but she didn't have the heart to. "You are very rude!" she shrieked.

"Could you pass me that daisy?" he asked, looking over her shoulder and eyeing the flower on her desk. Ami looked over her shoulder and frowned. "That's my flower pen. I like that pen, Wufei!" she shook her head hastily. Wufei snorted. "I'm not going to break it, stupid girl." he gently bit in her shoulder, prompting Ami to comply. "Fine! Keep still and don't do anything to me!" she demanded, and reached out behind her to grab the pen with a fake daisy attached. "Here," she handed it to him. He lazily held the pen in one hand and fingered the white petals with his other hand. "It's fake." He grunted.

Ami rolled her eyes. "Obviously, Wufei. Now will you please get off?" she snapped. He was breathing into her ear which made her fairly uncomfortable.

"She loves me, she loves me not," he chanted. Ami's eyes widened. "What in the world…?" she looked over her shoulder and watched in horror as he began to disassemble the petals off of the daisy. "She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not—"

"STOP IT!" Ami shrieked in distress, her eyes popping out of her face. Wufei ignored her. "She doesn't love me." He murmured. Ami pushed him away and he landed on the ground with a loud thud. "Are you insane?" Ami shrieked as she stared at her favorite pen with a frown. "Did you actually think that a simple flower could determine whether or not someone loved you? You are pathetic, Wufei!"

Wufei sighed. "Is it true, Ami?"

"What?" Ami turned to him with a frustrated expression. He reached out and snatched the stripped flower pen from Ami's hand and stared at it plaintively. "C'mon, stupid! Just tell me, is it true—she doesn't love me?"

Ami groaned. "Why are you asking me?" she sat back down in her chair and faced him. "It's impossible—"

"It is?" Wufei looked up and arched a brow at her. Ami cocked her head to one side, puzzled. "What?" she was suddenly lost. "That's what you just said—it's impossible for her to not love me!" he shouted. Ami winced at the strength of his voice. "What—?"

"ENOUGH WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS!" Wufei growled. "Just answer me, stupid girl!" his face turned red. Ami rolled her eyes. "Yes, she does." She finally answered knowing that this was the only answer to satisfy him.

"That's good." He nodded his head and smiled slightly. Ami sighed, not knowing what else to say. After a few moments, she passed him off as sleeping and she proceeded to turn around and continue with her work.

She yelped. Wufei reached out to her with his long arm and pulled her off of the chair by her wrist. She landed before him on her knees and Wufei tucked her head under his chin and held her with a slight smile on his lips. "So you do love me." He said in a husky voice.

Ami blinked twice, her lashes brushing against his neck. Wufei chuckled just as she had blinked.

"You were talking about me?" Ami was in near shock. Wufei snored. Ami groaned, dreading the whole thing. From the looks of it, Wufei had a tight grip around her body—he wasn't going to let go any time soon. "Hm, it wouldn't hurt, I guess." She rolled her eyes and then closed them for a small, afternoon nap.

Trowa relaxed and took a sip of coffee from his cup.

Makoto sighed. Trowa looked up and arched a brow, just slightly. "Do you mind me asking what happened?" as usual, he didn't sound too enthusiastic, but that was just the way he spoke.

"I've been planning to go to the carnival, but today's the last day. Everyone else has already gone—except for Wufei and Heero. I was supposed to go with Rei and Mina yesterday, but I didn't have any time off." She complained. Trowa frowned. "I haven't gone to the carnival either—Rei asked me, but I declined. I was originally supposed go with Miss Mizuno, but she dumped me for Duo." He stated, almost bitterly. Makoto gasped, shocked by his choice of words. "Dumped? I wasn't aware that you two were dating!" she joked.

Trowa scoffed with a slight smirk. "Very funny, Makoto."

She shook her head from side to side and grinned. Her shoulders shuddered from laughter. "If you have time today, will you take me to the carnival?" she asked flashing a wide grin. Trowa almost laughed. "You look pathetic with that grin, stop it, now." He smirked. She playfully whipped him with her dish cloth.

"I have time," Trowa exclaimed, snatching the dish cloth from her hand. "But do you have the time? You seem busy today." He remarked, looking at all the customers in the room. Makoto shrugged. "We'll see." She winked and walked into the back kitchen.

She felt the knots in her stomach again—and she absolutely hated this feeling. It could have only meant one thing—she was jealous, heartbroken, defeated. She had this feeling several times when she saw him with Ami, but he was Ami's body guard—and with that thought in mind, she still had hope.

She would always see him at Makoto's café—usually because Ami went there on business propositions. That day, she wanted to see him again—and ask him out for another date. Ever since she first met him as Usagi's boyfriend, she was slightly jealous of Usagi—in fact, she was a little happy that they had only lasted for one month. After seeing him again in a long time, she was mesmerized by his beautiful emerald eyes and his mysterious persona. Even from behind, he looked sensual.

She thought that she'd have a chance—now that Usagi refused to take him back—she didn't even care that he had sex with her best friend. She cared a little.

She slipped out of the café unnoticed and quickly walked to the park. Tears welled up at the corners of her eyes, blurring her vision. She'd just witnessed Makoto practically asking him out on a date to the carnival. Makoto had him wrapped around her finger—just like she'd do with almost all the guys she met. Makoto was like the girl next door—friendly, ordinarily beautiful, independent, funny, smart and she had some good morals as well. Her hair was always out of her face and in a gloriously beautiful, lengthy, ponytail. She was tall and slender—but she had the right amount of muscles—anyone could tell just how active she was. Makoto and Trowa even looked good together, she had to admit.

She found herself sitting on a bench under a tree. She wiped the tears from her eyes and sighed. "They would make a sexy couple." She muttered to herself, smiling bitterly. "Who'd make a sexy couple, me and you, angel face?" She looked up. Only one person in the world called her that.

"Say, why're you here crying by yourself?" he cocked his head to the side slightly and smiled sympathetically. Rei smiled, appreciating his presence. "Who's ass do I have to kick? Tell me his name, angel face." Duo tried to look serious but failed and laughed a few seconds later. Rei laughed as well—his laugh was the most darling gurgles of laughter she had ever heard; it was contagious too.

"Hey, you want to go to the carnival with me? The last day is always the most fun." He grinned. Rei couldn't refuse. Maybe she could get over her silly crush on Trowa.

Usagi needed to find Ami. There was another set of problems in her life that she longed to discuss with someone about—and Ami was that one person she would always turn to. When she checked Makoto's café, Trowa redirected her back to her office. Along the way, she caught a glimpse of Duo and Rei chatting on the bench at the park, but she shrugged it off as unimportant.

Upon entering Ami's office, she gasped in horror. "What—ARE YOU DOING?" She shrieked. Wufei awoke, with a wince. He placed a hand on his head and pressed his middle finger and thumb on either side of his temples. "Will you STOP SCREAMING?" he growled.

He shook his head, trying to gather himself together and he looked down, thoroughly disgusted. "What is this monstrosity?" his voice rose an octave louder. "Why were you sleeping on me?"

Ami gave him a dubious look and scoffed, removing herself from him. "It was you who forced me on yourself, not I." she stated, with her head held high. "And what was that nonsense about me loving you? You were really drunk, weren't you?"

Wufei narrowed his eyes at her remark and shook his head slightly confused. "What are you talking—" he stopped in his tracks and his eyes widened. Ami continued. "This isn't the right way to be treating someone you are fond of—WHAT ARE—mmf!" On impulse, Wufei pinned his hand over her mouth and glared her.

She pulled away. "If you didn't want me to say something aloud, you should have just told me, stupid!" she sneered. Usagi frowned, taken aback from Ami's words. "Ami!" she gasped. Ami glanced at her casually.

Wufei turned red and palmed his forehead before walking out of her office in embarrassment. Ami called out after him. "And if you ever harass me like that again, I'll whip your ass with my yard stick!" she shrieked. Usagi was amused. She'd never seen Ami act in such a way before.

Ami glanced at Usagi again and frowned. "He broke my favorite flower pen." She said as if trying to explain her current actions. Usagi shook her head in bewilderment. "I think…you and Duo have been hanging out too much."

Minako tapped her foot impatiently on the ground. "Look, Wufei. I'm too busy to schedule an emergency appointment with you right now. Please leave!" she tried to control her temper. She declared Wufei to be one of her bitter enemies since the day he rudely gripped her wrist with his hand back at Makoto's café.

"Please, Miss Aino." He pleaded, his expression worrisome. "I don't know. I've been having these dreams about someone." He looked uncomfortable. Minako arched a brow, slightly curious. "Do I know this someone?" she held her chin high and allowed Wufei to lie in the therapeutic couch. Wufei scratched his head, hesitantly. "I—well. She's fairly attractive, I have to admit and earlier today, I was drunk and I somehow fell asleep with her in my arms —"

"Who is she?" He was cut off by Minako's stern tongue. Wufei sighed. "That stupid, stupid, Mizuno." He groaned. Minako blinked blankly at him and then squealed. "Oh! OH! Oh my, AMI? Oh my goodness~" she sang playfully. Wufei groaned again.

Minako straightened up and in the most professional voice, she questioned him about these dreams. "She was a nurse." He had told her. "I was a patient." Minako squealed again, prompting Wufei to stop, but he continued after Minako pinched his arm. "I was too weak to do anything—and it was time for my bath so—" he stopped right there and shook his head from shame. Minako laughed so loud that it sounded horrifyingly ugly.

"You had an erotic dream about Ami?" her cheeks grew red from smiling too much. Wufei nodded. "Well, yes—but I—"

"Do you know what this means?" Minako wiggled her eyebrows as a joke. She allowed Wufei to think before composing an answer. "This means I love her?" Wufei looked at her with wide eyes.

Minako's smile faded and she nodded uncertainly. "If you think so, Wufei."

Wufei smiled. "It's no wonder why I bully her—inside, I must be in love with her, right?" he looked jubilant. "Thank you for helping me, Minako. I owe you one." He leaped from the chair excitedly and walked into the elevator.

Minako blinked in confusion and sighed. She was going to tell him that his erotic dreams about Ami probably meant that he was just sexually frustrated.

They took separate taxi cabs and raced each other to see who would reach the carnival first. The loser would have to do one thing for the winner, no matter how stupid it may be.

Makoto paid the taxi driver and leaped out of the cab, rushing to the entrance. She cursed to herself when she had spotted Trowa waiting at the entrance for her. He was smirking. "Looks like you lost." He said. She groaned. "Fine. What do I have to do? Do I have to treat you to everything in this carnival? What? What?" she asked, impatiently.

Trowa shook his head, his eyes glimmered. "I want you to be more lady-like—for the rest of the day, can you do that?" he was speaking to her as if she were a child. Makoto scowled. "Fine, fine! I will!" she then took a deep breath and smiled a bittersweet smile. She hooked her arm with his and pulled him closer to her. "Trowa, can we ride the bumper cars? They look like so much fun!" she said in a high pitched voice, trying to annoy him with it. Trowa looked at her with intrigue and smiled. "Is it just me, or do I hear something annoying?" he joked. Makoto shrugged. "I think I hear it too." She stated looking straight ahead. "Maybe Duo's here again."

"WOOOO YEAHHHHH!" His arms were straight in the air, his long braid flowing behind him. His shrieks of excitement could probably be heard from miles away. He and Rei had to sit in the last row due to the length of Duo's braid. It would be bothersome to the other passengers if he were to sit in the front row.

Rei buried her face into her hands and squealed, feeling light headed and dizzy. When the roller coaster was at the peak of its loop, Duo, who turned red from being upside down, began shouting profanities, an insult towards Wufei was made at the very end. "Wufei Chang's a faggot!"

Rei was slightly disturbed

"I'm too busy, Serena." Darien simply stated. He looked stressed and exhausted. Usagi almost felt sorry for him. "Alright, honey. I'm sorry, don't over work yourself, it's not youthful, you know." She joked. Darien looked up from his papers and smiled weakly. "I'll let you know if I have time. I love you." He arose from his seat to kiss her lightly on the lips.

She left him to his work and decided to go the carnival on her own—or maybe she'd go with one of her friends. The elevator doors opened up to a new floor and Heero walked in. He cleared his throat and greeted her respectfully. "Good evening." He said in a gruff voice. He looked equally as tired as Darien.

"Had a rough night?" she asked. Heero grunted in response. Usagi questioned what had happened. "There were several corporal spies in this company. I needed to gather the evidence together into sorted files. Then I had to hire trustworthy replacements. In all fairness, I must say, your husband is overworking me." He stated, bitterly. Usagi smiled. "Hey, he's not having a picnic either. He's so busy, he can't even take me out tonight." She frowned. "And he looks so tired too. Even if he does finish work, I doubt he'd actually still want to take me out."

"Where do you want to go?" He asked, looking away. Usagi sighed. "Honestly? The carnival. The last night is always the most fun." She explained. Heero nodded understandingly. "I'll take you—just as friends, don't worry." He reassured her.

"Fine." Usagi agreed. "But the moment something happens, I will report you." She threatened casually. Heero smirked. "What do you think I'm going to do? Kiss you?"

She didn't know why, but what he had just said hurt her feelings.

"What's this?" she eyed the object in his hand suspiciously. "Will it squirt water into my face, you sadistic—"

"I'm sorry for dismantling your daisy pen." He bowed respectfully and placed the new pen with a disfigured daisy attached to the end of it. "Here's a replacement." He lowered his head and gazed at her from under his lashes.

Ami examined the pen and nearly laughed. "Did you buy this at the dollar store or did you pay a child to make it?" she joked. Wufei closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then he opened his eyes and replied. "I made it myself." Ami smiled sweetly upon hearing this. "Thank you, Wufei. That was thoughtful—" then her smile faded and was replaced with a thin line. "But you wouldn't have needed to do this if you hadn't torn the petals off of my daisy pen in the first place!" she suddenly scowled.

Wufei turned away from her and took a deep breath. "Patience, Wufei. This girl is stupid, remember? She's inexperienced and this would probably be her first time being asked this." He mumbled to himself and then he turned to face her again. "Carnival. 7:00. Ferris wheel. Don't be late." He said in a loud voice and walked away. Ami frowned and called after him. "Wait! What was that? Did you just ask me out on a date?"

Wufei turned around and scoffed at her from a distance. "It's the romantic thing to do." He winked and continued on his way. Ami cocked her head to one side. "Was that supposed to be romantic?" she asked herself and then shook her head briefly after. "No, I think he's just retarded."

Rei shivered. "Duo, can we eat something hot? Like cocoa or wonton soup?" she said through clattering teeth. Duo stuffed his hands under his armpits and clamped his arms down on them. "You bet. Mother nature's having mood swings, huh? It was so hot this morning, now it's freezing!" he shuddered. Rei laughed, a puff of fog burst from her mouth. Duo playfully sucked the fog she had made into his mouth. "Indirect kisses are awesome!" He laughed. Rei hooked her arms with his and together, they walked to the food court section of the carnival.

Makoto shrieked in delight. "You can do everything here! Look! There's a stand where you can buy clothes! And there are jackets too!" she pointed at the stand with various jackets hanging from the shelves. Trowa nodded. "It is getting cold. It's a shame that we haven't brought our own jackets. Would you like one, Makoto?" he asked, turning to her. With her arm still hooked in his, she nodded and ran towards the stand, pulling Trowa by her arm. "The green one looks nice." She commented, pointing at the warm looking pale green coat. "Then I'll have this black jacket over here." Trowa eyed another jacket.

"We're here now," Usagi sighed. "What do we do?" she asked, without giving so much as one look in Heero's direction. Heero grunted. "I don't really like carnivals." He admitted. "The only thing I would tolerate is the Ferris wheel." He stopped and looked to his right. The Ferris wheel was just a few paces away from them. Usagi arched a brow. "What? Are we going to stay in that thing for the whole time we're here?"

Heero didn't reply and advanced towards the large wheel. Usagi sighed in defeat and followed him. They sat across from each other, both staring out the window. "It's starting to snow." Heero pointed out. "No wonder why it's been getting cold." Usagi whispered to herself. "This is relaxing." She said aloud. "Can we stay until closing time?" she asked, turning to look at him. Heero grunted. "Fine with me."

She was becoming more comfortable as the number of revolutions increased.

They talked about various topics ranging from what he thought of the other girls to Relena, his first girlfriend. Several times, she'd joke around, asking him if he had fallen in love with her yet.

"You told me not to, so I won't." he reminded her. "But if you keep asking, I may as well kiss you right now." He looked dead serious. Usagi bit her lip and nervously looked away.

She didn't intend to go, but she decided to go anyway because she felt bad for him. His pathetic attempt on asking her out to the carnival was pitiful. She decided to arrive two hours and thirty-seven minutes late and saw him standing near the Ferris wheel, shivering and with a plaintive expression. She felt even more guilty. He wore a beanie over his head with a lock of hair sticking out from underneath the beanie, just above his right eye. He wore a white shirt with a v-neck grey sweater over it and because it was cold, he wore a beige coat, long navy jeans and brown buckle work boots.

"Am I late?" she said, approaching him timidly. He looked up and rushed towards her. His eyes were wide with relief. "Ami, you're safe. I thought you were being stupid and got yourself into trouble." He ruffled the hair on her head. Ami shook free from his grasp and frowned. "We might as well go home. The carnival closes pretty soon—I mean, you only have time for one ride—" she was cut off by Wufei's response. "Ferris wheel. Let's go, stupid girl." he grabbed her wrist and hastily pulled her up the steps to an empty capsule. Wufei gave the ticket master two tickets and he pulled her inside. The ticket master shut the door and allowed the couple approaching the Ferris wheel to enter the next empty capsule.

Trowa gave the man two tickets just as they got there and Makoto rushed inside the capsule. Trowa followed behind her. "From a distance, I thought I had just seen Ami and Wufei—but I don't think Wufei is the kind of person to ask women out on dates." This comment made Makoto laugh.

The Ferris wheel rotated again and the occupants in the next capsule gave another pair of tickets to the ticket master. He allowed them another ride and the Ferris wheel rotated to the next capsule.

"Heero, I wanted to get out. My legs are starting to cramp" Usagi said, sharply. He didn't look at her. "Then stand up, you can do that, can't you?"

"No!" she shrieked. "I might break the Ferris Wheel!"

From below, Duo cocked his head upwards. "I hear a cry of distress." He exclaimed. Rei smiled. "Maybe it's just a girl who's afraid of heights." She reasoned with him and urged him into the empty capsule. She gave the ticket master her two tickets and he shut the door.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, Usagi. Just stand up." Heero waved his hand lazily in the air. Heero stood up and walked around in the little space that was provided in the capsule. He sat back down and Usagi was finally convinced. She stood up and stretched her arms to touch her toes. The Ferris wheel stopped moving and there were loud shouts coming from the ground. Heero strained his ears to listen. "Wow." He breathed out. "You were right. You did break the Ferris wheel."

Usagi had a panicked expression on her face and she curled up next to him. "Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh." She rocked back and forth in agony.

"What's wrong with this thing?" Makoto looked out the window and saw a few of the people working at the carnival running to the Ferris wheel's generator. "It's frozen from the cold and snow!" she heard someone exclaim loudly.

"Oh no, Trowa. We're stuck!" she shrieked. Trowa, as usual, remained calm. "I don't see the problem. At least you're stuck with someone" he exclaimed. "And we won't freeze to death, we have each other's body heat and jackets."

Makoto narrowed her eyes in confusion. "Was that supposed to be a sick, dirty joke?" Trowa smirked and without a word, stood up, sat next to her and put an arm over her shoulder.

"Stupid girl! Look what you have just done!" Wufei growled. Ami huffed and turned away. "Disasters like this only happen when you're around." She commented. Wufei fumed red. The two remained silent for a while until Wufei hastily removed his coat and offered it to Ami. "Are you cold? You don't have a jacket." He didn't look at her.

Ami simple glanced at it and turned away. "No, thank you."

"JUST TAKE THE DAMN COAT, AMI!" Wufei stood up, shouting and he hastily forced the coat onto her shoulders. Ami's jaw dropped and she looked at him disapprovingly. "But what about you? Aren't you going to be cold?" she shouted back, but in a softer voice.

"Just take it, ok? Don't ask any questions. Dammit, it's so hard trying to be nice to you." He grumbled and sat back down in his seat across from her. He looked out the window. "Thank you." Ami finally gave up and sat back down looking out the window as well.

Rei took in the view of the city. "Duo, look! Isn't this nice?" she turned to look at him but he had fallen asleep, his head supported against the window. She sighed with satisfaction. "At least I'm stuck with someone like you." She told herself and laid her head on his shoulder.

The repair man shook his head. "The ice around the generator will most likely melt by morning. The people at the top are stranded there until then. I'm sorry." He told the other carnival workers.

Usagi had fallen asleep, curled in a ball right next to Heero. She was becoming colder and colder, the only other source of warmth was the arm she was leaning on. She adjusted herself and pressed her body against his arm. "Cold?" he asked, softly. Usagi nodded and Heero put an arm around her, pulling her closer to his chest. "Don't worry," he said. "I won't fall in love with you." He reassured her. Usagi nodded again, but at this moment, she didn't even care.

"Serena? I'm all done. I heard the carnival will be open for another several hours because some people are stuck at the top of the Ferris wheel. I know it's late and all, but I've decided that I want to go. There are other things to do at the carnival besides the Ferris wheel, right? I don't think we'll be riding in that thing anymore." Darien laughed to himself. "Well, I'll be waiting at the Ferris wheel in the carnival. Call me as soon as you get here." He hung up and stuffed his hands into his pocket. She hadn't answered when he called her. He had left other voice messages as well, regarding if she still wanted to go.

He felt sorry for her. He would always be too busy to spend any time with her. So he waited. After an hour passed by, he called again but she didn't answer. "Serena? Is anything wrong? Are you coming? Do I need to pick you up? Please, call back. I'm worried about you." He hung up and continued waiting for her.

Ami opened his eyes to check on him—if he was shivering to death, but he had been ok. "I'm fine." He told her, with closed eyes. Ami smiled and whispered. "Ok, sorry." And she fell asleep again. An hour later, Wufei had awoken to check up on Ami. He narrowed his eyes at her facial expression. She looked slightly disturbed, her lips were distorted into a wry grimace. She let out a weak cough and a shuddering breath of air. He came to a conclusion that she was sick. He looked through her back and found a bottle of pills for a cold. He woke her up and put two pills into her mouth. He put a warm water bottle to her lips as if he were babying her. Ami fell asleep again, but this time, Wufei laid her out on the floor of the capsule. He placed her head onto his lap and the two fell sound asleep.

In the morning Heero awoke to his cell phone ringing. Minako was calling. "What is it?" he asked, his voice strained from sleeping in the cold. "Have you seen Usagi around? I got a call from Darien and he can't find her anywhere!" she sounded worried. Heero grunted. "She's with me. We got stuck in the Ferris wheel and we have to wait until someone fixes it. Where's Darien now? I'll call and tell him where she is."

"He's still waiting under the Ferris wheel—ever since last night! Heero, does Usagi know that?" Minako asked. Heero immediately hung up. He looked out the window and spotted a lone man waiting on a bench under the right under the Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel started to move again and he shook Usagi awake. "It's working again, Usagi." Usagi stirred and opened her eyes. She sat up and looked out the window, suddenly alert. "Thank goodness!" she breathed out in relief and smiled at him. "This was actually fun—spending the night in a Ferris wheel." She laughed to herself. Heero nodded and opened took one look out the window. The ground was within jumping distance. "Darien's waiting for you outside." He told her and he jumped through the window. Usagi shrieked and quickly checked to see if he was hurt. She saw him walking casually towards the exit. She sighed in relief and the door opened. The ticket master helped her outside. Then she looked around and spotted Darien sitting at the bench. She ran over to him and tried asking him why he was there, but she was cut off.

"Thank God, you're safe." He held her and kissed her forehead. He offered to take her home, but she refused it once she spotted Minako as well. "What are you doing here?" she asked her. Minako pulled her towards the Ferris wheel and away from Darien. "Makoto's not at her café. I can't find Duo anywhere either. Ami's not in her office—I don't know where everybody is!" she was panicking.

"We're out!" they heard someone shout in delight. They turned and saw Duo coming out of the Ferris wheel. His braid was slightly messy. They saw him help Rei out and they gasped. "DUO!" Minako called out. Duo arched a brow and waved at her. "Mina!" he tugged on Rei's arm and dragged her to them. "You two were stuck in the Ferris wheel too?" Usagi's eyes widened. Rei arched a brow. "You were in there?"

But before Usagi could answer her question, they heard a man shouting. "Move it! Out of my way!"

"Ami!" the three of them screamed and rushed to Wufei, who was carrying her on his back. "What's wrong?" Rei asked. Wufei sighed. "She got sick. I don't know how—maybe because it was cold. Does anyone know a doctor I could take her to?" he looked upset.

"I told you that it was Ami and Wufei." A voice behind them remarked. "Oh, shut up, Trowa." A woman huffed. "I'll take care of her, Wufei." She exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" Duo pointed rudely at her. Makoto pointed at Trowa. "Got stuck in the Ferris wheel with him last night—when we got out, we saw you guys." She exclaimed.

"You all got stuck up there?" Minako's eyes went wide. "I guess so." Trowa replied. Wufei grunted. "Do I take her to your place, Makoto?" Makoto nodded. "Trowa, it looks like you have a day off today since Ami's out cold." She informed him and patted his shoulder. "Thanks for being my date." She smiled and followed Wufei to his car. Minako sighed. "So where's Heero? He told me that you were with him." She asked. Usagi shook her head. "I don't know. He jumped out the window before we got to the bottom."

Duo opened his mouth to say something, but Minako shushed him. "Duo, we need to get back to the office now. We have a lot of work to finish—you, especially. You have the loads of paper work to complete." She said, sternly. "We'll see you guys later. Bye Usa, bye Rei!" she waved, dragging Duo along by his braid.

When Usagi got home, she checked her cell phone, which she left behind. There were many missed calls. Seven from Darien and two from Minako.

She checked her voice mails.

Serena, I'm almost done with my paper work. I think there's still time for us to go to the carnival. If you still want to go, call me. Sorry it's taken me this long to finally spend some time with you.

Usagi smiled and went to the next voice message.

Serena? I'm all done. I heard the carnival will be open for another several hours because some people are stuck at the top of the Ferris wheel. I know it's late and all, but I've decided that I want to go. There are other things to do at the carnival besides the Ferris wheel, right? I don't think we'll be riding in that thing anymore. He started laughing to himself. Well, I'll be waiting at the Ferris wheel in the carnival. Call me as soon as you get here.

Her expression was filled with guilt as she went on to the next message. Serena? Is anything wrong? Are you coming? Do I need to pick you up? Please, call back. I'm worried about you.

Usagi? Where are you? Darien called me and asked me to call you. You won't answer his calls! He's worried about you, you know? He's waiting at the Ferris wheel in the carnival. Meet up with him over there. Please call him back!

Usagi laid on her bed and cried. Darien was such a kind, sincere man.

A/N: Sorry for the shitty ending. D: Thanks for reading!
