I finally caught up to what I originally wrote all those moons ago. I want to wrap this one up, so I will probably have 1 or 2 more chapters for this story. I have edited things down to where there isn't a continuation. That being said, let's get on with the show.

Chapter 6: The park and Truth or Dare, but no alcohol please!

"What shall we do today?" asked Quatre.

"How about we go down to the lake?" suggested Hilde.

"Or how about if we go have a picnic at the park?"

"That's a great idea Quatre!" exclaimed Catherine.

The others agreed.

"Great! Then let's go get changed into comfortable clothing and shoes. Let's meet back here in 20 minutes," he said.

20 minutes later, everyone had come down to the meeting point and got into various cars to drive to the park.

"We have about an hour until lunch time, so feel free to do what you want."

"Yes! Tag you're it!"

"Duo, watch out for that wall!"

"Huh? What w-oomph." Duo had collided with the low wall separating the grassy area and the children's playground, flipped over, and landed in the sand on his back.

"She did tell you to watch out, buy you never listen," piped Wufei.

"Shut it."

"Come on Hilde, I'm not a baby."

"Then stop whining!"

"Fine!"

"Fine…"

"Sorry babe."

"I'm sorry I yelled at you."

"Forgiven?"

"Forgiven."

"Hey babe,' he said with a grin.

"Oh no, Duo. Not the smile. What are you planning this time?"

"Say Hilde, has 'Lena confessed that she might like a certain moody pilot?"

"I had a suspicion; she didn't need to tell me. Why? Do you know something? Do you have something up your sleeve, Duo Maxwell? Spill!"

"I caught them up on the roof last night. They were standing pretty close. I think I walked into the middle of a confession. I didn't mean to, but I did," Duo added quickly.

"And you want me to find out for sure," she stated matter-of-factly.

"Yes"

"Heero already told me he likes the Princess."

"Really? I've got an idea."

"What is it?"

"How about we play a confession game like Truth or Dare with a twist. If you get the meaning of twist."

"Alcohol just might loosen them up a bit."

Relena was swinging slowly watching the other children at the park play. She got up and left the playground in search of a certain young man. Relena spotted Heero sitting under a tree reading a book.

Heero on the other hand was attempting to read his book, but his mind kept wandering back to the night he almost confessed to how he felt to Relena.

'Relena'

Flashback

"I wanted to go find myself. I wanted to learn to be human. I wanted to learn how to express my feelings. I wanted to…"

"You wanted to...what, Heero?"

"I wanted...I want to-"

End flashback

'I wanted to tell her that I love her and also show her how much I do.'

"Heero"

He turned at the sound of his name. "Relena."

"May I sit with you?"

"Yeah"

"What are you reading?"

"Oh...I don't know. I can't seem to concentrate."

"Can I ask why not?"

"I was thinking."

"About the other night," it wasn't a question.

He sighed. "Yeah"

"Heero, about that. I want to let you know that I-"

"Lunch time you two," Quatre interrupted.

After everyone had come back from the park there had been a relaxing period. Everyone did what they wanted on the grounds. That night had no disruptions. The next day however, something was amiss. Everything seemed normal on the outside. Heero had been on his faithful laptop and Relena had been reading an interesting romance novel for most of the day. The others had been locked up in an undisclosed location of the mansion -the library- for most of the day plotting away. Naturally, Wufei was completely left out of it, so as to not arouse suspicion.

"We've been here for most of the day and we haven't decided what game to play to get them to confess! Argh!"

"Duo, calm down," said Sally.

"We've narrowed it down to 'I Never…' and 'Truth or Dare'," Hilde said confidently.

"I still think we should play 'I Never…' to loosen those two up."

"Duo, I don't agree with using alcohol to make them talk."

"Ah man, Quat, you're taking the fun part out of it."

"Has anyone thought that maybe we should just leave them alone and give them the opportunity to confess to each other when they are ready to do so?"

"Come on Quatre, this won't hurt anyone. Besides, don't you wanna see their reactions?" asked Catherine.

Trowa had stayed silent the entire time the others talked about Heero and Relena confessing their undying love for each other. He had other things on his mind when it came to that particular subject. No one knew his real feelings, though he suspected Cathy knew more than she led on.

"Okay! So let's take a vote," suggested Duo. "Who wants to play 'I Never…'?" Only two people raised their hands. "How 'bout 'Truth or Dare'?" This time three people raised their hands.

"Majority wins!" exclaimed Hilde.

"Hold on there missy. Trowa didn't vote. Which do you pick, Tro?"

"It doesn't matter. Whichever is fine."

"But Trow, you gotta pick one."

"Truth or Dare"

"Majority rule Duo. You lose!"

"You know, for being teenagers, you sure act more like children every day," the oldest one commented at Hilde and Duo's behavior.

"Do not!" Duo whined.

"I prove my point."

The others just laughed at him. Trowa got up and left while the others followed suit leaving Hilde and Duo alone.

"You sure this'll work Hil?"

"I don't know, but I hope it does. Quatre won't let us use alcohol, so we can't rely on that anymore."

"Who says he'll find out?" Duo joked.

"You won't ever change, will you?"

"Maybe not"

Hilde moved closer to him and engulfed Duo in a hug.

"I love you, Duo"

"And I love you, Hilde," he replied as he lowered his head to capture Hilde's lips with his in a short kiss. She melted into his arms with a sigh.

After dinner the group gathered in the informal living room on the second floor.

"Hey, who wants to play a game?" asked an eager Duo.

"What type of game?" replied Quatre, catching onto the plan. The others were becoming "interested."

"I don't know, how about a little 'Truth or Dare'?"

"Not a chance in hell, Maxwell!"

"Oh come on Wuffers, have some fun for a change."

"My name is Wufei! Fine, I will play your stupid game," he growled out after Sally elbowed him hard in the ribs.

"So, who else wants to play?"

Everyone else agreed to play, leaving Heero, Relena, and Trowa to decide.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to play a couple of rounds," Relena fell for the bait.

"Hn"

Nod

"Alrighty then! The rules are simple. Everyone gets to ask one question at a time to a poor individual soul. If you are called upon, you have to reply 'Truth' and answer the question truthfully or 'Dare' and meet your doom."

Hilde rolled her eyes and added, "It's not as bad as he makes it sound."

"Come on, get in a circle," Duo added.

After everyone had found a comfy place on the floor or furniture, Quatre asked "Who goes first?"

"I do!" Duo yelled.

"We're all doomed," groaned Wufei.

"Just for that you're my first victim."

"Crap"

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," was the answer. He didn't want to be a part of one of Duo's pranks.

"Okay…" Duo had a smirk on his face before asking "Do you like someone in this room?"

"Wufei glared at Duo for a long time before answering, "Yes."

"Your turn"

"Barton, truth or dare?"

"Dare"

"I dare you to kiss the person sitting next to you."

Trowa looked on both sides. On his left, Catherine was looking at him and on his right, Duo was making kissy faces at him. He went left and kissed Catherine on the forehead.

"Heero, truth or dare?"

"Truth"

"What has been the most embarrassing mission you have been assigned? One you are allowed to speak of, that is."

"...I had to infiltrate an all girls school to hack into their mainframe. I was sent during operational hours and was required to wear the uniform. My cover was almost blown when I misplaced part of the disguise I was wearing."

"Wait. You had to dress up in a girls school uniform? What part of your disguise did you lose?"

"...the wig…" he whispered.

"BAHAHAHAHA!" Trowa had broken out into a full crazy laugh. The rest of the group turned to look at him with various expressions on their faces. Wufei had a slight smirk on his face, some looked confused at the outburst, and Duo had a look of wariness as he had never heard Trowa laugh.

The game continued after a brief break to let Trowa calm down. The game went on for a couple of rounds until somehow Sally ended up asking Relena to pick truth or dare. Relena had a look of concentration on her face trying to decide what was her fate going to be in the hands of Sally. Since she knew that she was a tad bit nosy, she hoped her decision would not backfire on her.

"Dare"

The room went silent. An evil smirk formed on Sally's face and Relena gulped.
