The Cinq (Sanc) Kingdom Palace, Cinq (Sanc) Kingdom
Relena was about to open the door to the huge manison when Milliardo threw it open.
"Long time, no see, huh sis!" he exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," said Heero, "Let us in. The luggage is getting heavy."
Relena giggled. "I made Heero carry my bags."
Milliardo faked a sigh and let them in.
"So how's it going?" asked Relena.
"Fine. Although Trowa and Catherine seem to have gotten into a fight," said Milliardo.
"Hi!" said Lucrezia, as she entered the room, "So how did the sercet mission go?"
"Well, we got informantion," said Heero.
"Heero dressed up like Tony from 'Saturday Night Fever'. You know, that white suit!" exclaimed Relena.
"I did not," insisted Heero.
"Did too," said Relena.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Hey, hey, hey. Guys we need to get this informantion to Lady Une, so stop fighting," said Milliardo.
"Why don't we call her on the video-phone?" asked Relena.
Heero shook his head. "Anita Cruz might get hold of the conversation."
"Heero's right; you'll need to talk to her in person," said Milliardo.
So they all went to the Khushrenada estate and told the informantion to Lady Une and Treize.
After returning to the palace, two visitors named Duo and Hilde, were waiting to talk to Heero and Relena.
"Come on, Heero. Please stay here, at least until the crisis is over," begged Relena.
"Fine," said Heero.
"Hi!" exclaimed Duo and Hilde.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"screamed Relena.
"It's just us," said Duo.
"Well, I have to unpack," said Heero.
"I'll go with you," said Duo, as he followed Heero out of the room.
"Relena, we need to talk," said Hilde.
"About what?" asked Relena.
"Your relationship with Heero," said Hilde.
"Okay," said Relena slowly.
"You love him, huh?" asked Hilde.
"Yeah," said Relena quietly.
"I thought so," said Hilde, "Do you think he loves you?"
"I don't know," said Relena, "Sometimes he acts like he wants to protect me, and other times he acts like I'm a bump on a log. It is so hard to see his emotions. One minute he's going to kill me, and the next he saves me." Relena sighed. "I don't know, Hilde, I don't know."
Meanwhile, in the guest room Heero was using, Duo was talking to Heero, while Heero was unpacking.
"So, Heero, did you have fun?" asked Duo.
"Duo, this was a mission. You I don't have fun on a mission," said Heero.
"Did you and Relena--" started Duo.
"No, Duo. You have a sick mind," said Heero.
"I wasn't asking about that. I didn't think you'd go that far. I mean, Hilde and I haven't, well you know, either," said Duo.
"Then what were you asking about, if you weren't asking about that," said Heero.
"Did you kiss?" asked Duo.
Heero gave Duo that stare he always used.
"Heero, do you have that look copyrighted?" asked Duo.
Heero rolled his eyes. "Of course Relena and I didn't kiss, Duo. I only protect her," said Heero. Then he smiled. "Besides, what would her brother do if I kissed her?"
"Heero, I'm your best friend. You can tell me anything."
"Or, I can tell you nothing," said Heero.
"Heero, it's obvious you have feelings for Relena," said Duo.
"And how would get that idea?" asked Heero.
"Heero, stop denying it. You love her."
Heero abruptly left the room.
Duo sighed.
After rejoining the girls downstairs, Duo and Hilde left. As soon as they were outside, Hilde said, "Duo, I wish it wasn't this hard to play matchmaker."
"Heero wouldn't say anything," sighed Duo.
"Relena seems sad," said Hilde.
"Yeah, Heero said that he 'only protects her'. And that was all I could get out of him," said Duo.
"Imagine what it must be like for them. We're lucky," said Hilde.
"What you mean?" asked Duo.
"I'm glad you're not as stubborn as Heero," said Hilde.
Duo smiled. "Well, Hilde, you know I'm not as crazy as Heero Yuy."
Hilde laughed. "Heero has no sense of humor. Or at least not as good yours."
"I'm glad you think so," said Duo.
"What are we going to do at this crisis?" asked Hilde.
"Go to Treize and Lady Une's wedding, of course."
"Besides that."
"We'll go back to the space colony. We'll go to night school so we can get better jobs. Then when we have enough money, we'll move to Earth and work for the Preventers. Then we'll get married and have children and live in a big house."
"That is our plan?" asked Hilde.
"That's our plan," said Duo.
"It sounds good," said Hilde.
"I'm glad you think so."

The Winner Compound, Saudi Arabia
Quatre Rabara Winner sat in a high backed chair, drinking tea. He was waiting for his visitor. He fiddled with the teacup. Finally Rasiad, his advisor came in with his guest.
"May I present Dorothy Catalonia," said Rasid, and left.
"Hi, Dorothy!" exclaimed Quatre.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Winner," said Dorothy, politely.
"Please, call me Quatre," he said.
Dorothy sat down across from Quatre. "So why did call for me today?" she asked.
"Just wanted to talk," said Quatre.
"Oh, you did?" Dorothy was surprised.
"We're are friends, aren't we?" asked Quatre.
"Wasn't it I that stabbed you during the war?"
"Yes, but I thought we could friends," said Quatre.
"Well, it's nice to see you," said Dorothy.
The two sat in silence.
"Okay, that's it. Dorothy, I have feelings for you!"
"Er... Quatre. I kinda like you, too."
"You do!"
Dorothy nodded.
"Yeaaaaaaa!" exclaimed Quatre.
Dorothy giggled.
"Dorothy, would you be my girlfriend?" asked Quatre.
"Sure! I mean of course," said Dorothy.
"Yeaaaaaa!"
The Quatre/Dorothy part is pretty silly, but oh well. I wrote this fic a year ago!
