The days passed slowly for Heero. It has been almost a year since Duo left but to Heero it felt like five years. He stayed mostly to himself only going out when his friends asked him too. He didn't talk with his fellow coworkers nor interact with them unless he had to. His friends seemed to notice how he reverted to his Perfect Soldier persona since the end of the uprising. They tried to get him out from behind the mask but all their efforts ended in failure.

Duo still sent Heero weekly updates and Heero still never responded. No matter how much Duo wanted him too. Heero would delete them right after reading like usual.

Quatre was running his father's business now with the help of his sisters. Trowa lived with him for the most part while still helping out with the circus. Wufei was now engaged to Sally Po but they still haven't set a date for the wedding. They both work for the Preventors still but more as advisors than agents. Relena and Dorothy came out to their close friends but not to the public. They didn't want to put their relationship out in the public but if anyone asked they would answer honestly. Thankfully none of the reporters ever asked or seemed to notice.

Duo had traveled around a lot actually if he was truthful he was running away. From what he didn't quite understand. All he knew was that he had to keep running. He had been all over Earth before heading to the colonies. He was done running in six months. He was tired of running and needed to settle for a little bit to get his head back on straight. He eventually made his way back to L2 and stayed with Hilde. He helped her with the salvage company she had started. Although he frequently left to go help the sweepers with salvage runs as well. It seemed to be going well for him but he never got closer to figuring out why he had run.

It took Hilde to whack him upside his head while yelling at him to realize why he had run. He knew he had to go back and least try and put things back together. But he kept putting it off until Quatre unknowingly solved his problems. Quatre sent him an invitation to a party he was holding at one of his estates on Earth. It was going to be a small, friends' only party and the press wasn't invited.

Duo smiled as he read the invitation. He immediately sent a reply saying he would be there. Now all that was left to do was apologize to Heero and get back together with him. Shouldn't be too hard he thought.

Heero looked at the invitation and sighed. He didn't really want to go but he knew his friends would worry, meaning they would hound him until he either agreed or told them what was wrong. Since he didn't want to tell them what was wrong he decided he better agree and save some trouble. So he sent the reply stating that he would go.

Quatre smiled as he received the two replies. He looked up at Wufei and Trowa, "They're both coming. Now we can start on the next phase of our plan. To get them to fall in love with each other."
