Chapter 10

By Devon Masterson

AN: Thanks for the advice in your reviews;p This gets limey,

Dorothy walked through the campus with a scowl on her face while every one looked pleased that exams were over and graduation was eminent. She could not care less. There was only subject that got her total focus now, Ed. The blond knew she was responsible for her trip to school and the destruction of her car, but she could not prove it.

She did not like how the redhead looked so comfortable perched on top of Trowa laughing at her ordeal in fact they were all laughing at her even Trowa, though he was trying to hide it. She had never seen him laugh before in all their time together. The only other expression she ever saw in him, when they were together other than his usual one, was satisfaction.

"Trowa won't be around forever, but until then I need to find something," she thought as she entered the parking lot. She stood in front of her new car and sighed, she missed her other one. A yellow, vintage Pontiac Bonneville sat in her usual parking space. Yellow was her favorite color and she loved large old cars. She waved a small device over the car and a green light flashed signaling that the car was safe to drive.

"There has to be a way," she grumbled as she got into the car and leaned up against the window. A long chestnut braid caught her attention and she rolled the window down and crouched down in the seat so she could see and not be seen.

"So Ed what are we going to do this summer?" Duo asked.

"Ed doesn't know," she answered, "but she'll think of something."

"Cool," he replied putting his arm around her. "We make a great team. The way we got Dorothy. That was hilarious, my site is still receiving hits. I've made five thousand bucks. That's a nice chunk of vacation money, half of it yours you know."

"No thanks, Ed is fine," she smiled. She had her own copy of the event that was enough for her. "Thank you for helping Ed." She hugged him.

"No problem," he said holding her. "I had to help you and Trowa out besides that bitch had it coming to her for a long time."

"Vroom. Vroom," she replied pulling away from him and started dancing around then she started to hum La Cucuracha.

"Ed, you are so weird," Duo commented as he started walking again, "you're my kind of chick."

"Dueyo is weird too, my kind of chick," she said before darting away.

"It doesn't go the other way," he called. He shook his head and walked after her.

"Interesting," Dorothy smiled as she sat up.

"Edward!" Wufei called in the distance.

Ed chuckled. "Wu-man found Ed person's trap." They were at a stalemate.

"You know, Ed, you and Wufei's attacks on each other are getting a little old," Faye commented as she sunned herself. "Could you two to step it up a bit?"

Ed nodded stiffly then smiled. She could see Wufei stalking towards her dripping wet from being ejected from his gundam and into the lake while doing some tests. "I see Barton hasn't cut you down yet?" he observed looking up at her from the ground. She was netted to the wall about ten feet off the ground to the back of the house. "He must be slipping," he said before going inside.

"Hey, Ed you got some mail," Duo called as he walked outside and looked around.

"Oooh," Ed replied as a small switchblade sprung from her hand. She cut the rope. "Ed wants to see."

Duo looked up and dropped the mail just before catching her in his arms. He shook his head then smiled. He absolutely had to take the shot. "I always knew you would fall for me, Ed." He left her down from his embrace.

She quickly picked up the mail and tore into it. "I got in. I got in," she said jumping up and down.

"Got in where?" he asked.

"Ed is going to Brazil for three weeks," she replied spinning around. "Brazil, Brazil. Things to see, time to fill."

"You sighed up for that too?" he asked. She nodded. "Cool now I have someone to annoy while I am there."

"Dueyo sighed up too?"

"Of course, why would I miss a chance to see Mardi Gras. Parties, half-naked girls, and all the beer I can drink," he answered then smiled. "I can't wait `til we leave next week. We'll hit all the parties and all the bars. I'll take you around, Ed. I better buy some accessories," he commented then leaned in closer. "Protection is important."

Ed looked at him curiously as he left trying to figure out what kind of accessories he would need that would protect himself while he was Brazil. He sounded like he intended on having a good time, maybe he was going to take his gun with him just in case. She would worry about it later. "Fay-Fay!"

Faye sat up and pushed her sunglasses up on her head. "Yes, I know, Ed you're going to Brazil for three weeks with Duo," she said as she stood. Ed-free for three weeks, what that be like? "We should go shopping you `re going to need some things."

"Accessories for protection?" she asked.

Faye looked at her then shook her head as she put two and two together about what Duo must have commented about. "Only if you want Trowa mad at you."

Ed shook her head. She did not want that, but she did not know why he mad about her having protection. He seemed worried about her sometimes, she would have to ask him about it. "Fay-Fay will help Ed!" she replied pulling Faye into the house with her.

Later that night, Trowa sat up in bed looking at the letter that he got from the school in France he applied to. He had been eagerly awaiting the letter six months ago when he started to the application process, now he dreaded opening it. Leaving the guys was one thing, they were used to seeing each other on both a sporadic and consistent basis, leaving Ed was another. She was starting to fit in and he did not want to take her away from that, but he did not want to leave her behind. Four years was a long time and it would go by twice as long if he was worrying about what she was trying to get into and who was trying to get into her.

Then there was the thought that the guys would look after her, but he was not too keen on that either. Actually there was only one friend that he was actually worried about and that was Duo. Duo was great friend and soldier, but he and Ed had entirely too many things in common. After awhile when Ed would start to get lonely, he would get tempted. He was very much a realist and knew that anything could happen given the right circumstances, even if Duo was one of his best friends. There was already an attraction there, he knew that much already. He didn't fault him, Duo was a man and Ed was attractive, very attractive, but he also knew the braided man well enough that he had an extreme sense of respect for his friends.

Still that did not keep a few jealous thoughts from nagging him from time to time. He wished that he had rapport with Ed the way Duo did. He would use the mini vacation before his internship as a chance to spend more time with her. He could spend the next four weeks with her before he was up to his ears in work on the road with the Red Triangle Circus for the rest of the summer.

He placed the letter in the nightstand as the bathroom door opened. Ed jump into the bed wearing one of Trowa's rarely seen t-shirts. "Boyfriend person," she sighed before kissing him lightly. "Guess what?"

"What?" he asked. He hated guessing games, but he knew it would suffice if he just went on and just asked.

"Ed got into the exchange program," she said proudly.

"What exchange program?" he asked sitting up. This was first time he had heard about it.

"For three weeks Ed is going to be in Brazil, yeah," she answered hugging him.

"Brazil? Three weeks?" he brow furrowed slightly.

"Ed asked boyfriend person and he said he would look into it," she answered then smiled.

Trowa thought for a minute, the conversation was vaguely familiar. He should have followed up more closely. "Congratulations on your accomplishment."

Ed smiled. "Ed wishes boyfriend person would come with her," she sighed then smiled. "There are five spaces left, boyfriend person can go if he wants to. It will be more fun with three."

"Who else is going?" he asked curiously.

"Dueyo is going with Ed," she answered. "He's buying accessories for protection…" Trowa choked in surprise. "…Ed does not know what he needs protection from, but she will find out when they get there."

"I'm coming with you," Trowa replied. "I'll take care of it tonight."

She pounced him. "Ed already did this afternoon."

"Her reading my mind is something I thought would never happen," he mused as he looked up at her. He could see a faint flush in her cheeks. There was more to her pouncing him than it being just GP. Just about everybody in the house had been stressing over exams the past threes weeks. It had been awhile since they were last…intimate. He started to feel it getting to him as soon as exams were over. He had a sudden need for something now he knew what it was. "Thank you," he said letting his had innocently stroke her thigh and derrière.

"You're welcome," she replied softly as she kissed him lightly

Sex with Ed was something of a phenomenon. It was obvious that she had quite a bit of energy to spare. Trowa always wondered just how much she had…he still didn't know, but he had a better idea than anyone else would ever know. She was different when they were together together. She was sexy like someone who did not know her would imagine her to be, but at the same time maintained an innocence about her. She was quite an enigma to someone who spent the better part of their lives reading people. It was one of the things he cherished about her, that and how she managed to stay in love with life. He found it endearing, he was never completely sure what she was going to do.

Trowa sucked in his breath as he felt Ed nibbling on his ears. He always loved that and she exploited that fact every chance she got. She laughed lightly tickling his inner ear with her breath then she whispered something naughty to him. That was straw the broke the camels back. "Oh really?" he whispered as he rolled over on top of her. "We'll see about that."

Ed raised an eyebrow in challenge then smiled as Trowa's control slipped.

*.*

Duo looked towards the ceiling and smirked. "They have got to be the weirdest couple of I have ever heard of," he remarked. "They make it impossible to tease them. Who ever heard of quiet sex? The more noise the better."

"Not every one thinks like you," Heero replied playing FreeCell on his laptop. He was having an eight game winning streak.

"Some people actually think," Wufei snorted from the corner of the room not taking his eyes off the chessboard.

"I am not going to get into this one," Quatre replied moving his rook to take Wufei's bishop. He was glad that Faye was out running some `errands' he was already blushing enough as it was.

"It's just eerie," Duo commented ignoring Wufei's unsolicited two cents. The guys gave a couple of `think about who we're talking about' looks. It was strange that they did not actually hear too much noise, but most of them looked at as being considerate which none of them could admit to being every single time they had `company.'

"Why do you care so much, Maxwell?" Wufei asked. "Jealous?"

Duo threw his comic book down the table and stood, causing everyone to pause in their actions. "That is not even funny," he replied before walking out.

"Hmm," Heero said curiously. "Looks like you struck a nerve, Wufei."

"Apparently," Wufei observed.

Quatre frowned. He had been saving this move, but he was in a hurry. He moved his knight toward the trapped white king. "Checkmate," he said before standing. "I'm going to go talk to him."

"Inconceivable." Wufei muttered as Quatre walked off. He did not even see that particular side of attack, more meditation was needed.
