------St. Patrick’s Academy-----

 ------Duo’s Dorm Room------

 

Duo sat on his bed rereading the letter for the 20th time. “You’re to wear a red suit.  Your date will be wearing a trench coat. Hmmmm, a trench coat, I don’t know of any preps that wear those. Thank God!”

 

“Nope! I don’t know of any either.”

 

He looked up to see Hilde coming into his room. “Don’t you ever knock?”

 

“Don’t you ever lock the door?” She countered.

 

“Meh!”

 

“Figures!”

 

“So what do you think this guy will be like Hild?” Duo questioned. “I mean he’s been matched up with me.”

 

“Well if he’s matched with you there’s one thing about him we know for sure.” She stated.

 

“What’s that?”

 

“He can’t be sane!”

 

“Oh shut up!”

 

“Ah, you know I’m kidding Duo!” Hilde said, “Truthfully I couldn’t even try to guess who they’ve got you matched with.”

 

“Well I know one thing; it’s not Wufei! I stole his letter from him at lunch.  He’s matched up with some chick.” Duo told her, “By the way, yours doesn’t say to wear a pink ribbon in your hair and meet your date at Rye’s, Does it??”

 

“Oh no it doesn’t.  Thank God!” She assured him. “Besides, could you imagine it? Me and Wufei? Definitely not!”

 

“I wonder what your kids would be like.”

 

Hilde grabbed the pillow off his bed and threw it at his head. “SHUT UP! Ewww.”

 

“Hahahahaha. Hilde and Wufei sitting in a tree! K I S S I N…..” Duo stopped mid spell.  “Ummmm, Hi Fei! Didn’t see you standing there!”

 

“I figured that out Maxwell.” Wufei spat from his place in the doorway.

 

“Well um, what brings you to my room this fine afternoon?”

 

“I need a pale blue suit.  Do you have one?” Wufei informed him.

 

“Nope, no pale blue suits here. Sorry.”

 

“Kuso!”

 

“Ya know, the only person I’ve ever since wear a pale blue suit was Heero.” Hilde chimed in, “Remember, he wore it at last years Christmas party!”

 

“How could I forget?” Duo replied while wiping the drool from his lip.

 

“Hmph! Thanks!”  Wufei said as he turned and walked out of the room.

 

“YOU’RE WELCOME!” Duo called out to him.

 

Hilde turned to her friend after Wufei had left, “Speaking of suits, we’ve gotta make sure you have something to wear tomorrow night.  You have to wear a red suit, right?”

 

“That’s right, and all I’ve got is my school uniform and black clothes.  Nothing in red.”

 

“Well it looks like we’re going shopping.” She grabbed Duo’s arm and hauled him out the door.

 

*****Some time later*******

 

“It took awhile but we finally found the perfect outfit for you!” Hilde proclaimed as they returned to the dorm after their shopping spree.

 

“Whew! I’m tired; I never knew clothes shopping could be so strenuous.”

 

“But it was worth it!” Hilde assured him. “You’re date’s going to take one look at you and will be a hard fight for him to not give into the urge to just have you then and there!”

 

“Ah stop it! I don’t look THAT good in it.” Duo protested.

 

“OHHHH Yes you do!  If you weren’t my best friend, and gay, I’d have jumped you when you came out of the changing room.”

 

“AHH!” He slowly backed away from the girl.  “You stay over there if that’s what you’ve been thinkin’.”

 

“Relax! I don’t want you that bad, but this guy tomorrow night, will.  I guarantee it!”

 

“Ok! Now I’m nervous.  What am I going to do Hilde?  I’ve never been on a date before.  I don’t have a clue what to do or how to act.  Help me!” He pleaded.

 

“Calm down!  Just do what you’d do when hanging out with your friends.  If you can’t be friends with him you should definitely not sleep with him.  You’ll just end up getting hurt.” 

 

“Alright, that makes good sense.” Duo agreed.

 

“There are perks to this too though!  How many of your other friends will you get to make out with?” She explained.

 

“True.  Though there is one friend I’d give my braid to make out with.” Duo said with a dreamy look in his eyes.

 

“OK! OK! I know who you’re talking about, and I’m tired to watch you drool. I’m going back to my room now and you should get ready to bed too, we’ve got a long day tomorrow.” Hilde told him.

 

“You’re right Hilde. I’m going to take a shower then head to bed.”

 

She got up, grabbed her things and headed to his door. “Good night Duo.”

 

“Nite Hilde!”

 

Just before closing the door, Hilde popped her head back in and said, “Duo! Remember something tomorrow night.  Don’t mention or even thing about Heero.  ‘cause your date won’t like hearing about another guy from his date. K?”

 

“K! Night Hilde!”

I’ve no idea where this is going to go from here.  So please bear with me because it’s going to take a bit to write the next chapter.

 

On a personal note my daughter (who has been delaying my writing ‘cause I’ve been busy playing with her) has learned to stand up on her own.
