Notes: Alright people. I know you want a lot more of this story if you've been keeping track of it, and if not, well, then it doesn't matter. I'm sorry I've been stalling, and it's because I've had writers block on where I want this story to go from where it currently happens to be. I feel the need to end it quickly, so that I can start on the sequel that wants to be written, but I refuse to rush! I thank all my loyal readers for your support. ~Mental Speech.~

Wufei released a deep sigh. He was extremely hopeful that the list of people, those he knew from his real life, that met him out here within the next hour was going to add up to thirteen. It would be a severe injustice to have to track down any missing parties at this point. His day hadn't been so bad, sure. The others though... They'd just have to see how the others dealt with their mutual... Issue.

He moved to a tree in the middle of the meeting area and sank down against the trunk of the pine to wait. There was truly little else he could manage to accomplish at this point aside from that. He'd done all he could for the time being, so waiting was what was left.

"You are thinking too hard again Wufei. You know that I don't like you to strain yourself like this." The soft feminine voice dragged Wufei away from his whirling thoughts abruptly.

He cast a glare at the dark scaled dragon before sighing. "You startled me Nataku. I'm not thinking too hard, but this is something that must be solved. What if we are still missing people from this group? What then? I have no idea how to fix what has been done as it is, let alone with missing pieces."

"Just be patient. It has only been one day. Little harm could be done to you in one day. Perhaps a shift of perspective, but no more and no less." She moved closer, coiling up along his side. "If in a week you still are in your present problem, then I will allow you to remain so concerned by the circumstances. Now rest, I will tell you when the others arrive."

He looked at the dragon for a moment before leaning back and closing his eyes. "Two days Nataku. That is all I am allowing myself. Two days." His voice tapered into a murmur as he went to sleep. His efforts that day had indeed been tiring, so he could let his dragon watch for him.

Duo leaned closer to Heero, glancing behind them where Treize and Relena with her group were following after them. It seemed that all the girls were sticking together for the moment. Well, all the girls that showed up at court...

"Ne, Heero, why's Relena always the one to find you first? This is not the first time I met up with you and she was there ya know." He tilted his head around, looking into Heero's face while they were walking. At least they were the same height... Duo sighed, studying Heero's face for a moment. Getting no answer, he started talking again. "Heero? What can you do? I can make stuff poof from place to place and stuff. What did this place give you? Oh, oh, and do you know why you're called what your called an stuff? I can't remember things from before in this place, can you? I know the groupies back there have all different kinds of memories, what about you?"

Sighing softly to himself, Heero looked into Duo's face. "Yes I remember. No, I didn't forget anything from our life. And I deal with emotions. I don't feel what others feel, but I can change what they feel. I apparently just have a habit of making people feel large amounts of pain when they annoy me."

Duo closed his mouth on another question as he caught the glint of amusement in Heero's eyes. The perfect soldier could... play with emotions... Alright... He could deal with that. Duo nodded to them both before turning his attention to the conversation going on behind them.

Relena looked at the pair walking in front of them with an annoyed scowl, then looked back at Sally and Dorothy. Dorothy was back to her normal cold self, all showings of panic having been smoothed away after her brief loss of composure. She had, apparently, woken up in the middle of the ball that night, thus explaining her problem with the entire scenario. Sally was still something of a mystery to Relena, but she didn't see any reason to mess with the girl just yet. They had a meeting to get to.

It was Treize who had actually gotten the conversation going with a simple, 'How do you each know me.' From there it rolled downhill.

"I'm telling you, there is no way that I could be wrong about this. Relena is the Queen of the World." Dorothy, ever the staunch supporter of her friend, threw the sentence at Sally, who was having none of it.

"There is no way that little girl could be queen of anything! Her magic didn't even develop until all these new memories rose in us all! How could anyone stand to have a powerless queen? Queen of the World my ass!" Sally turned around, dismissing the pair with a flip of her blond hair.

Relena flushed red, both in annoyance and embarrassment. "How could you say that? Magic is something that only fairy tales have, and I am currently trapped in one! That does not mean that magic is needed to rule the world. All you need is connections you... You floozy!" She threw her hands up into the air with the last sentence, nodding her head.

"Floozy? What sort of insult is that?" Sally turned her head to look at Relena.

Treize couldn't help a snicker. He tried to cover his mouth to keep his composure fully in tact, but he failed miserably, more suppressed laughter making it's way past his lips. Unfortunately, the arguing girls heard him. It was in one eerie movement together that they turned on him and demanded, "What?"

Shaking his head and waving the hand that wasn't covering his laughter Treize tried to assure them, even as he worked on removing his grin. "Terribly sorry ladies. Terribly, terribly sorry! I merely found your conversation to be rather interesting. Please excuse my laughter, something just struck me as funny."

Duo's laughter from in front of them did nothing to make the girls any less angry. He commented back to the four that were trailing he and Heero, as he cast an impish grin over his shoulder. "I don't get how she can be queen either! But you might want to be quiet if we want any hope of sneaking up on Wuffy boy!"

That statement brought the balm of silence. They all knew Wufei, and he was the same staunch person in both his lives. Sneaking up on him sounded absolutely perfect...

Coming from the opposite direction was another group. Quatre and Vier leaned into each other as Quatre spoke mentally to his little brother. He was so very happy to have someone younger than him now, and male to boot!

Quatre giggled and shook his head, looking at his little brother in the eye, again getting that little shock as he stared back into a nearly identical face. ~You do know don't you that my side of the conversation is entirely heard by Trowa back there, right?~

Vier merely nodded, casting a glance at the pair of siblings walking along behind them in silence. ~Of course. But, he has absolutely no idea what I am thinking, so it truly doesn't matter, now does it?~

~No, I suppose not.~ Linking his arm through the white clad one of Vier, Quatre grinned. ~So, what are you going to tell me about it?~

Looking over the impish sparkle in his big brother's eyes, Vier grinned. ~You'll figure it out. I know you do not feel the same. Well, just go with the feelings. Once you get it right, then we'll all know. You'll definitely know.~

Quatre gave him a mildly puzzled glance then shrugged, unthinkingly using the motion to rub on the black haired boy. He knew in his head the boy was his brother, but he couldn't seem to get himself to maintain that thought. It bothered him. ~Do you think of me as your brother Vier?~

~No. I never could. You aren't my brother. You are far, far too innocent to be that great fellow.~ He raised a hand, tipping Quatre's chin towards him for a moment. ~Now you really are my opposing reflection. The way I think of you is anything but brotherly. Though, it is mutual, now isn't it?~

Quatre blushed red and pulled his chin away, looking to the ground. He suddenly was ashamed of himself. He couldn't believe that he let himself even go there for a second! He glanced back over his shoulder to Trowa, finding a concerned green gaze trained on him. He didn't know what was going on in his head, but it had to cease. Vier was his brother here, even if he never existed before. Nodding to himself, he resolved to keep his thoughts to himself. He just couldn't deal with this at the moment. They had a meeting to get to.

A pair of the women guards glared at each other. They were supposed to keep people inside at night, and so far, three sets of people had gotten past them. This was looking very bad.

"If you would have just let me bring up a ring of fire around them..." The woman with longer hair was trying to reason with the other.

"No Une! You know that we'd be brought into court if they knew we had powers! I like my job as a guard. I can keep the peace best this way instead of uselessly frittering my powers away!"

"Right Lu Lu. Just keep them clouds away and you're doing a great thing!"

"My name is Lucretia if you must call me by my first name and you know it! Please just call me Noin, I can not deal with your teasing right now. We have to get that flock of nobles back inside."

"But Lu Lu! I like teasing you! You know I can be serious if I have to be!" Une pouted, and batted her eyes, trying to look woe be gone.

"You mean you can be terrifying if you need to be." Noin smirked a bit, looking over at her partner.

"That too." Une suddenly stopped, catching a glint of long platinum hair out of the corner of her eye. Turning around she saw none other than their oh so annoying king hurrying towards the center of the yard.

"He is going to be so upset when we crash his party." Noin was gazing after Zechs, a smirk lighting her face.

"He's the one that gave orders to keep the yard clear tonight!" Une crowed, striking off after the blond menace.

"I think he meant other people, not himself..." Muttering to herself, Noin followed, a grin lingering on her lips.

Carefully watching the crowd that was slowly coming together in the courtyard, a figure detached himself from the surrounding shadows, and approached. None of them would even notice him with that many people.

The light of the yard briefly lit his dark blond hair and green eyes before he was back in shadow. Sure, most of them wouldn't notice him, but one of them would without even a second thought. Especially in his current state of being. It was the person the figure was going after too, Duo.

To be continued.
