Disclaimer: These are not my characters. I am lazy and have taken someone else's creation and have formed my own story around them. Don't sue me, I have no money!! I am a starving college student who is trying desperately to find a way to find time to continue my fan fic writing!! I also didn't write these songs. I'm not a poet, never will be. But, I love music and good lyrics, so all of those I have in my fic are good songs by good bands/people. At least I think they are.
Warnings: It is yaoi, gay, slash, what ever you want to call it. It is also going to be explicit, but not in this part. There is *plot* in this story!!
Authors Note: As a note, I don't usually write Relena bashers. I actually don't mind Relena, besides the stalker side of her. She is only 'Slutty Relena' for the plot. Sorry for those that I offend with making her that way ^^; And for those of you that are worried, yes. There will be yaoi. Have no fear!! Read, *reply*, and ENJOY!! Shounen ai, do or die!!

As planned Hilde joined the tour three months later in Chicago. Her father wanted her to take over their family business of club ownership. So he had sent her to Chicago to keep watch over the big one he owned up there. She had grown a little bored of it and finally convinced her father into letting her tag along with the band. She told him it would further her understanding of the music scene. Not to mention get them into different clubs around the country where they would draw their fans with them. Meaning bigger bucks for him.

"Man are they always like that…?" Hilde whispered to Duo as they got on the bus after they stopped at a rest stop. Relena was over doing her flirting with Heero as they had been eating their lunch. "She's so… eh…"

"Yup… twenty four/seven they are like that. I've learned how to ignore it. 'Cause if you don't it will drive you insane…" Duo walked up the metal stairs and waved to the bus driver as he passed by.

"…So why did you need to ignore it…?" Hilde poked him in the back telling him to go as far away from the other two as they could.

"What do you mean?" he looked over his shoulder at Hilde who had a smirk on her face.

"Well… If that would drive a person insane it should have no effect on you," Duo stuck his tongue out at her as he sat in the booth between the lounging area and sleeping area and Hilde sat across from him placing her elbows on the table. "At least Quatre and Trowa aren't that obnoxious about it. It's actually cute." She looked out the window at them and laughed a little as she watched Trowa throw out Quatre's trash for him.

"I have no quarrels with them. It's Relena who bugs me…" he whispered as he leaned back against the cushioned seat. "But anyway… How's life treating you?"

"Oh you know me… Busy busy busy… This is the first vacation I've been on in a long time. I don't even remember actually ever taking a vacation." she rested her head against the table and sighed. "And it's not even a true vacation. While I'm here I have to stop by every club and check their books. Saaaa…"

Duo placed his hands behind his head as the bus took off, "Oh the tragic life of a multimillion dollar club owner's daughter."

"You're exaggerating. It's only a million," she smiled up at him.

"Hilde," Milliardo said as he approached the two. "Did you get into contact with the club?"

"Yes, I got better reception out side of the bus," Hilde sat up and looked directly at Milliardo talking in her business voice.

"Good. And you made sure that they would have more security and their best bouncers?" he placed a hand on the table to keep his balance as the bus shifted lanes.

"Yes. They are planning for a lot of people to be there. They've already stirred up enough publicity about them being there. It shouldn't be a problem." Duo looked out the window uninterested in the current conversation.

Milliardo smiled brightly, "Good. You don't mind being our sales lady for the night do you? You will be paid per item you sell."

"Sure. I'm always willing to help you all out. It's the least that I can do for letting me tag along," she smiled and placed her head in her hands as her elbow rested on the table.

"Thanks, Hilde," and with out further comment he headed back to the lounge area and sat next to Noin.

"You better bring you extra-large-fan-girl-beating stick with you tonight, Duo."

"Ah," still not paying attention as he looked out at his surroundings.

Hilde kicked him under the table, "Hey what's gotten into you?"

"Ow… You've got heels…" he rubbed his shin as he turned his attention back to Hilde.

"No I don't their flats."

"Well then you have pointy witch shoes," he stuck his tongue out at her.

"No seriously, Duo," she leaned in placing her other hand beneath her chin. "What's wrong? You should be happy. This is what you've always wanted to do."

Duo's shoulders slouched knowing that he couldn't fool her, "I dunno Hild. We would always talk about going on the road together. But…" he looked past Hilde to the others in the front of the bus. "Now that we are finally here it just doesn't seem right. You know? Full filling someone else dream." his eyes went back to looking at Hilde who had a disappointed annoyed look.

"By 'we' I'm assuming you and Solo," she raised an eye brow at him.

"Yeah… I know I know… I get over it," he waved his hand at her. "I have. It just doesn't feel right. Like I'm opening up his Christmas present for him and playing with his gift."

"Duo… It wasn't just his dream. You wanted it just as bad, if not more, than he did," Hilde motioned to the people behind her with her head and smiled. "They all wanted this too."

He shook his head and glanced at Heero who was looking out the window with a distant look. "Not him. I dunno what he's here for. I think it's just the attention."

Hilde turned around and looked at Heero for a second then turned back around to Duo, "Nah. He doesn't seem like a center stage fiend. That would be you," she pointed at him and snickered.

"Still…" Duo kept watching the back of Heero's head as he tried reading his thoughts. He seemed like he was a thousand miles away from them. He was in his own world. Heero was always like that. There had been a few instances when Heero seemed to be living in their world. Duo didn't notice it before but all those times the two of them had been alone. He shook the thoughts out of his head. He'd ask him one of these days what his attitude problem was. Right now he was going to play poker with Hilde.

"Well you're the one who made the bet," Hilde giggled as she picked out some cloths for Duo at the mall.

"How was I suppose to know that you had a full house?!" Duo's hands where full of clothing on hangers that he was instructed to try on for her. "Nor did I think you had such bad taste in clothing!"

"Ah, stop acting like a baby," she piled more on top of him as she continued down the isle. "You'll look great tonight."

"Duo? Duo Maxwell?!" a teenage girl's voice squealed from behind him. Duo turned around slowly with a smile on his face. "It is you!!" the blonde haired girl glomped him tightly knocking down the cloths that he held in his hands. "I-I'm sorry!! Lemme get that for you!" she bent over and started to pick them up in a rush.

"It's okay-"

"Wow! No one's going to believe me!! Can I get your picture? I don't have a camera with me but I can buy one! Stay here!!" dropping the cloths that she had just picked up she took off out of the store.

"Eh… Fan girls…" Duo bent over and picked the clothing off of the floor for the second time.

"She was cute," Hilde held up a pair of short shorts and then placed them in Duo's hands. "That's the last one."

"Yeah, but still. They act like I'm in some kinda boy band," Duo shuttered and headed for the changing room.

"You are. It's a band. Full of boys. It's a boy band. Ooo!" she tossed a fishnet shirt on top of Duo's head for him to carry.

"Thanks. And it's not a 'Boy Band'. We are a band. We actually play instruments. Nor do we dance like monkeys on a stage." he stuck his tongue out at her as she pushed him into one of the stalls.

"If she comes back I'll let her know you are still here."

"Thanks." After trying on several hundreds of different combinations Hilde decided on two different arrangements. She let Duo decided which two he liked the best and she paid for them. The fan girl had never returned, probably found a better celebrity to ogle over Duo guessed. He never though of him self as a celeb. He was just a singer. He didn't care about the people liking him. If they liked the songs, great. Ogling over him, that was okay. It didn't boost his ego any more than it had already been. He knew he was sexy but he didn't flaunt it. Which was Hilde's challenge for him that night. He was dared to strut his stuff and act like the sexy bitch he was. And Hilde would watch to make sure he was doing it. If he didn't she was going to show everyone the picture of Duo in a frilly pink dress he wore for Halloween at her place one year. No one could tell he was really a cross dresser. They all thought he was a fairy princess. He didn't care. He just wanted candy.

The music blared in Heero's ears as he sat in a booth on the balcony of the second floor over looking the dance area. He had arrived earlier than the rest of the band with Relena. She had taken him to the same mall Hilde took Duo. Heero noticed Duo from a far but no one else did. Duo seemed to be so close to Hilde. Maybe he wasn't attached to Solo like he thought. Maybe he loved Hilde, Heero thought to him self as Relena brought him a pink colored drink in an oddly shaped glass.

"No sense in waiting for the rest of them to arrive," she bounced her hips to the side with every other beat to the current song. "Time to have some fun! Drink up," she said as she noticed him just starring blankly into the drink. "Don't tell me you don't enjoy a little alcohol." She bend over slightly placing her drink on the table and winked at him as her loose fitting shirt dropped down reveling the tops of her smooth breasts.

Relena's attempts at being seductive where feeble. Although she thought she had Heero wrapped around her little finger he knew her real reason for having any interest in him. He wasn't charming or charismatic, he didn't think he had good looks, at least not in comparison to Duo and the others. He never bought her anything worth anything, nor did he ever once sleep with her even though the others would bet their lives on that false fact. No, Relena wasn't after him at all. But he'd play along with her games. After all they both had the same goal. She was obviously trying to make someone jealous. Although he hadn't a clue who, nor did he care.

"Che… Not even 15 minutes and you two have already started drinkin'!" Duo said from behind Heero.

Relena's eye bros twitched a little as she looked up at him and almost spilt her drink in her almost bare lap.

"See, Relena likes the outfit, right?" Hilde said joining Duo's side.

Out of curiosity Heero glanced over his shoulder and had to do a double take.

Dressed from head to toe in black Duo stood with a hands on his hips. His hair was let down completely and fell over his left shoulder in a river of silky brunette. His well built chest was reveled slightly from beneath a black fishnet shirt. Heero's eyes traveled down slowly to his waist which had silver chains dangling loosely around them attached by one belt loop from the black pleather pants which reflected the numerous dance lights. Heero peeled his eyes away from Duo's crotch line before any thing else became exited and looked into Duo's eyes.

"Wha'd ya think?" he returned Heero's gaze and spread his arms as if they where blocking his view.

Relena jumped up and squealed, "Oh! You look so sexy!!" she ran over to him and inspected him closely, "Wow!!" she turned to Hilde who was smiling with more pride than Duo was. "If only I could get Heero to dress up for me…" she looked over at him and giggled. Heero was wearing his normal green tank top and blue jeans with matching jacket. "He has no imagination!" she turned back to Hilde acting as if Heero wasn't in the same room.

"Well I had to black mail Duo to do it," Hilde chuckled slightly and grabbed hold of Duo's arm. "We'll… I'm going to prance my trophy-I mean Duo-around for a while and show 'em off!"

Duo smiled brightly willingly letting Hilde take him away from Relena. As they walked away towards the stair case to the dance floor he whispered something to Hilde and she laughed out loud and nodded her head.

Relena stood over Heero and sighed, "They make such a cute couple…" turning her attention back to Heero she pulled on his arm slightly. "Let's dance!"

Heero didn't move at all. Still, his eyes where glued on Duo. He had started dancing like a charmed snake waving back and forth smoothly. He watched him until he disappeared in the large roaring crowd.

"Fine," she sighed playfully. "But I swear I'll make you regret not dancing with me if you don't at some point tonight!" she winked at him then ran off in the direction of Duo and Hilde.

"Not your scene either?" Trowa came walking up from behind Heero and sat his self across from him.

Heero looked up at him and shook his head 'no'. To his surprise Trowa started laughing.

"I don't really see you raving," just as quickly as he started he stopped.

"I don't see you doing it either."

"No," Trowa shook his head and looked over the railing. "I would end up loosing an eye or knocking someone out."

"You seem to be in a good mood," Heero put his now empty glass down.

Trowa shrugged and didn't saw anything.

Heero wasn't one to pry into another person's business so he kept it at that. He didn't even care about where Quatre was. No doubt Duo dragged him on the dance floor.

"So why aren't you with Relena?"

This time it was Heero's turn to shrug and not say anything.

But unlike him, Trowa wanted to pry, "You do know that what you two are doing is dangerous." Trowa turned to Heero and looked him dead in the eye. "I don't know what you're playing at because you obviously have no interest in her. I'm just warning you," he leaned forward with his arm on the table, "if you hurt this band or any one of it's members; I will make sure you will be sorry about it for the rest of your life."

Heero just stared back at him with equal intensity. "What I do and why I do it is my business alone." Not waiting for Trowa to reply back he got up and walked away. Two threats not even five minutes apart was enough for one night. He didn't care what Relena would do to him for bailing out early. He felt really uncomfortable at the moment and he was worried that he would snap and say something he didn't want to. The whole time he was with them he felt like the odd man out. He was always left out of the important decisions, never knowing what all the inside jokes where about, and he felt like he was just an instrument, not like a human being. They all tired to be nice to him; he wouldn't deny them that. But they never gave him the respect he clearly deserved and needed.

While shoving his way through the crowd and thoughts, Hilde grabbed his arm and stopped him.

"Have you seen Duo? He got mobbed by some fans a few minutes ago and I haven't seen him since," she yelled over the loud ecstatic music.

Heero shook his head, "I was heading to the bathroom. I'll check there. You stay here," Heero turned to go as Hilde released him.

"Thanks Heero!" Her voice was drowned out by the club's noise.

All though the bathroom was not his original destination he knew he aught to go before he left. Alcohol never did last long in his system. As he neared the men's room he saw a crowd of girls all watching the door like vultures waiting for a sick desert rabbit to keel over. Heero was sure Duo was in there. As he passed though the fan girls, his hair stood on end as he felt the excitement seep from them. When he opened the door all the girls started squawking Duo's name and surrounded the door trying to get a peek in.

Heero shut the door with a bang in their faces and all he heard now was the bass pounding though the walls.

"Guess there not gone yet…" Duo peeped out of a stall.

Heero shook his head and walked up to a urinal. "Hilde is looking for you," he did his business and Duo stepped out and looked at himself in the mirror.

"Well… I guess that's what I get for letting Hilde dress me like this. On top of her making me flit with all of them," Duo took a deep breath and dropped his head in his chest bracing his self with his hands on the sink.

Heero zipped up and walked next to him and washed his hands.

"I don't know how I'm going to get out…" he looked over at Heero and grinned.

Heero looked around the bathroom but didn't see any windows or even a large enough vent to crawl through. "Don't know."

"Might as well tell Hilde where I am. Maybe she can think of something."
"Why don't you just go out there?"

"Are you crazy?!" Duo stood up straight and grabbed Heero's shoulders. "They are maniacs! You never know if any of them will kidnap you! Or worse!" Duo seemed very serious about his problem.

Who was Heero to doubt it, "I'll get Hilde." Turning away from Duo he looked back. "Better lock your self back in one of those stalls." He turned his head back around. "One of them might be crazy enough to enter a man's lavatory."

"If that's a joke it's funny. But if you're mocking me, it's cruel," he hid him self just in time to hear a loud cheer of glee turned quickly to disappointment.

As Heero walked back though the crowd he returned to Hilde. "He's in there but he's surrounded."

"Damn it… I didn't realize how popular you guys have become…" she thought to her self for a few seconds then she got a devious genius plan. "It's so crazy it could work…" she smiled wickedly.

"What would?" Heero said a bit scarred at how exited she was.

"I've got some spare cloths in the car. They should fit Duo… The main dilemma is getting him away before they realize the trick…"

"Wait… you mean…"

"Well, he's got enough feminine attributes to pull it off. Believe me I've seen it done!"

"So… If we get him to dress in drag, then what? I'm sure they will notice something amiss when a girl exit's the men's room."

"Hopefully not until you get him away from here."

"Me?"

"Yeah. You need to give him the cloths."

Heero shrugged his shoulders and sighed giving in.
