"Why does my heart flutter so when I see him?" She whispered. "I’ve never felt like that around anybody before."

Kain: [as Trowa somewhere down the beach] GOD DAMMIT! How many times do I have to tell you that it's GAS?!

"You have my blessing, little sister. You’re my

Livy: Dumbest.

closest

Livy: Damn!

sister and he’s my best friend." Quatre said, "If you truly are meant to be, then I couldn’t be more happy, but be careful. It takes a lot to open that shell of his and I don’t want to see you get hurt."
"Promise me one thing, Quatre."
"What’s that?"
"Please don’t speak to Duo or any of the others of this. Whatever happens between me and Trowa will be and I would prefer spare Trowa Duo and his wisecracks"
Quatre smiled, "Of course."
Five days passed, each more eventful and fun

Kain: SO eventful and fun that we can't write about it.

as the first full day after the pilot’s arrival. Relena planned from the word go
everything from rest and relaxation to activities that had them aching for bed and sleep.

Katy: I have no idea what that sentence just said, and therefore I'm ignoring it.

The hot and steamy shower, soaked into Ania’s sore muscles.

Professor G: This sentence is just... no...
Livy: Ahhhh! The shower is soaking into my skin!!

Rollerblading was certainly not her style, but she thoroughly enjoyed it, especially watching Duo fall on his rear no less that 15 times.
Ania gave up on any hope of a friendship with Trowa when he shunned her a second time.

All: YAAY! *wave Trowa flags*

The others left them alone at dinner the previous night, and she asked him a question. H

Katy: What is Instructor H doing here?!
Professor G: It's my good friend, Instructor H! But why is he here suddenly?

smiled and walked out of the room, without answering.

All: YAAAAY!! *continue to wave Trowa flags*

Livy: The flames he shot out of his mouth were beginning to burn her face.

Livy: ..... this is the most OOC moment yet.
Professor G: That'd be like me deciding to take up glass-blowing!
Rowen: Well, there goes whatever was left of Trowa's personality.
Katy: There wasn't much left anyway.

"That’s kind of you to ask me, Trowa." Ania answered, suddenly suspicious, "But I’m not sure if I’m up for it tonight. It’s been a long day."
Wufei chuckled behind his book,

Kain: [as Wufei] That Trowa personality enhancement robot sure is hilarious!

"Go with him, Ania. The fact that Barton’s getting out of the house and being sociable is a new thing. Better take the chance while it’s still there."
Ania looked from the Chinese pilot to her brother and then back the Trowa.

Katy: Back the Trowa!  It's a new birthday party game!
Rowen: Pin the lips on his flaming ass cheeks!

Shoving her suspicions down into the back of her memory, she agreed. "Alright then. I’d love to go with you."
Trowa held out his hand and she took it, a blaze of electricity rippling through her body when her skin met his.

Kain: [as Trowa] OW!  THAT HURT, YOU BITCH!
Professor G: Because he held an exposed wire in his hand! Die, woman, die!!
Katy: If this turns into an L.J. Smith soulmate bond, I'm gonna hurl.
Rowen: I'm amazed you're not already.
Katy: Actually, I am too.

He helped her to her feet and led her back into her room, closing out the two other pilots with a soft click of the balcony door.
He turned to her and smiled, breaking the soft contact of their hands, "You might get some rest before we go. Relena says to

Rowen: Go to hell.

wear something light and comfortable. It will be warm this evening."

She nodded, "Okay, come get me when you are ready to go." He left her standing there, watching his departure, the soft padding of his feet as he walked towards the door the only noise. She did not even breathe

Livy: Yes!!!

until the door clicked into place and he was gone.

Livy: Gah! Foiled again...

Realizing he had gone and with a quick sudden intake of breath, she sat down on her bed, suddenly not tired at all, but excited and frightened. Was this what she wanted? Yes, she told herself, yes, this is everything that I want.

Professor G: She's acting like he just asked her to spend the night in his room.
Livy: Don't even go there...

Quatre’s words of warning flashed through her mind,

Rowen: [as Quatre's words of warning] I'm going to kill you.

If you truly are meant to be, then I couldn’t be more happy, but be careful. It takes a lot to open that shell of his and I don’t want to see you get hurt.
"No, Quatre," she whispered, "It will not be like that."
She lay back against her pillows, knowing now the enormity of

Kain: Wufei's hard-on.

her canopy bed.

Still feeling his touch on her hand, she closed her eyes and drifted into a short dreamless doze.
Braiding her hair and winding it tightly around her head, Ania made the final touches on her

Rowen: *opens mouth to speak:
Katy: *points at him* NO!  Don't even go there.
Rowen: *sulks* You don't even know what I was going to say.
Katy: *eyeing him* Oh, yes I do...

appearance minutes before Hilde and Relena came for her.
"Ania, you are the picture of a princess." Relena exclaimed.
She wore a mini-skirt and tight sleeveless top in a shade of blue that matched her eyes, her hair also wound around her head in a similar fashion to Ania’s. Next to her, Hilde appeared in a sensual red tight sundress, her black hair combed down over her forehead in a sexy fashion.
"You both are stunning yourselves." Ania said, admiring her friends’

Professor G: large chests

choice of dress.
Ania, herself, had chosen a pale pink tight sleeveless dress, showing off her figure and the suppleness of her young body.

All: AHHHHHHH!!
Katy: It's like child pornography!!
Livy: Oh GOD!!
Kain: *barfing*

Hilde held out an arm to each of them "Shall we make our grand entrance, girls? I guarantee it’s going to be one hell of a wild night. Oh wait, I almost forgot something."
The raven-haired girl pulled a small

Rowen: It's cyanide!

card out of her evening bag and handed it to her young blonde friend. Ania took the card and stared at the photo of herself, "What’s this?"
"It says you’re

Katy: [as Hilde] a professional hooker!

eighteen, my dear!" Hilde exclaimed, her dark eyes shining. "You’re going to enjoy the night just like the rest of us."
Ania threw her head back

Livy: As she felt a knife slide into her stomach. [as Hilde]: So you fell for it, huh? Stupid whore.

and laughed, a high soprano sound emanating from deep within her chest. She threw her arms around Hilde, "I didn’t think this night could get any better and now you’ve gone and done the impossible!"

Kain: I have a really bad feeling she's going to get really drunk and do something stupid.
Katy: What could she do that WOULDN'T be stupid?
Kain: I meant stupid for us, because we have to read it.

"The night’s still young, honey." Hilde replied.
"Shall we go?" Relena asked, her blue eyes twinkling in

Professor G: lust.

anticipation.
Hilde offered her arms again and the girls disappeared down the stairs.
The five pilots looked up as the dates of three of them descended the stairs.
"What did you do to the real girls who disappeared upstairs an hour ago?" Duo asked, a smile marring the suspicion in his beautiful violet eyes.

Livy: [as Relena]: We killed them and licked their bones clean.

He wore black pants and black t-shirt, his braid still glistening wet from his recent shower.
Heero moved up to Relena, planting a passionate kiss on her cherry red lips. "You look beautiful, My Koi."

Professor G: Ok... THAT was the most OOC moment in this fic. *shudders*
Rowen: No, my vote is still for Trowa asking her to go dancing.
Katy: My, that Heero personality replacement robot sure is acting well!

Relena smiled at Heero in his white tank top and blue jeans, his brown hair falling across his face, "You don’t look so bad yourself."
Trowa held out his hand to his date, "Thank you" was all he whispered to her, Ania again feeling the sparks throughout their body as their hands touched.

Kain: [as Trowa] DAMN YOU VILE WOMAN! That hurt AGAIN!

He wore black jeans and a blue tank top, showing off his well muscled arms. He looked more handsome than usual.

Katy: Mmmmm... *dreamy*

Quatre stood up and came up to his sister and best friend. Kissing her on the

Livy: Mouth.
All: EEEWWWW!!

cheek, he said, "Have a good time, little sister. Look after her, okay, Trowa?"
The two pilots shook hands, "Of course, Q, I won’t let her out of my

Rowen: pants.

sight."
"What are you and Wufei going to do this evening?" Ania asked.
Quatre shrugged,

Professor G: [as Quatre]: Oh, I don't know. There's a few new positions in my kama sutra book that I'd like to try out.

"I don’t know about him, but I’m getting an early night. Hey, you’re friends

Katy: Well, this fic claims we are.

are leaving. Better not get left behind."
They waved to Quatre and followed the two other couples outside to the waiting limousine.
"Relena, you didn’t have to go through all this trouble!" Ania stood staring, awestruck, at the big black car.
Relena chuckled, "Of course I did. As I am a Princess of the Cinq Kingdom, we have to arrive in style.

Livy: *cough* OOC *cough*
Kain: I'm sure Zechs and Noin would appreciate her blatantly abusing the kingdom's money in such a way.

Get in, there’s plenty of room for all."
