Now that we've returned, more reasons to believe that Quatre is clueless, Duo has issues,
and Heero has no social skills.
Duo: "Hey, I *resemble* that remark!"
Heero: "I have social skills. Omae o korosu."
Plude: "I rest my point."
"Change" Chapter 15
Duo removed his brain wave helmet immediately.
Upon arriving back at the base, Wufei emerged from Nataku and helped Duo out of Shinigami.
Duo was trembling all over and appeared to have a fever.
Wufei started to carry Duo to the infirmary. Duo kept squirming and trembling, trying to
get Wufei to set him down. Heero ignored them and stumbled up to his room only to pass out
half way up the stairs.
"If that's the way you want it."
Wufei set Duo down, and he immediately fell to the ground.
"Sure you don't want help?"
Duo curled up into a little ball on the hall floor.
Wufei started to get worried.
"What *are* you talking about, Quatre?"
"It's ok. Don't be embarrassed. I know you have a crush on the new maid."
Trowa's jaw dropped open in disbelief.
"Is *that* what you think is going on?"
"Isn't it?"
"Um... no."
"But, the other day..."
Trowa looked down. His hair seemed to shadow his face so that Quatre couldn't quite make
out his expression over his monitor.
"I don't like the maid."
"Then, what *is* going on?"
"Duo, are you ok? It's me, Wufei."
Duo continued to tremble in his little ball, and Wufei forcefully picked him up and ran to
the infirmary.
"Am I missing something, Trowa?"
"I don't like the maid. I like... someone else. Now, leave me alone."
Trowa turned off his comlink.
Quatre thought long and hard about this. All the evidence pointed to...
#Wufei. Of course. He was hiding in his room from Wufei, and Wufei seemed to know
something. I wonder if Wufei rejected him.#

Duo: "Ok, I am first in line to smack Quatre!"
Quatre: "Smack plude! She's the one writing me like this!"
Plude: "That's because you are an innocent teenage boy, and teenage boys are usually
clueless."
All Five Piolets: "SHUT UP!!!"
Wufei: "Injustice! I don't love Quatre! ...Well, not like that! Well... injustice!"
