Lights, Camera, Action! - Part 7
~Ring! Ring! Ring!~
Heero couldn't believe it. The phone hadn't stopped ringing since six am that morning. First, his agent, then the director, and then the press. God, he hoped this was important. He was getting seriously fed up!
'Hello," he growled into the phone.
"Heero! Hi! It's Quatre, can you fix the blind. I can't see you?"
"Quatre! Shit! Sorry. It's been a hectic morning. No one wants to leave me alone today," he said, removing the blind on the vidphone.
"It's okay. Are you free today? Duo called, and he wanted to get together with everyone today. He said we all work too hard. Sally and Wufei will be there."
"Actually, Quatre, that might not be a very good idea. The press found out that I'm on L4, and..."
"Heero, don't worry about it. We can hang out here. God knows I have plenty of things we can do. Bring a change of clothes and a bathing suit. We can hang out just like we used to. I won't take no for an answer."
"I guess I'm free today. I got a call from the director; there are some problems with the sets; so I'm free for the next couple of days. But, the press found out I'm here, so it's better if I just hide in my hotel room."
"Don't worry about it, Heero. I'll send a limo over. I do believe I own the hotel you're staying at, so the staff will keep it quiet for me. I want to see you here in an hour, ready to make good on the deal you made with Duo. May as well get the first step over with as soon as possible."
"So, that's how you are always able to get through to me so quickly. Even my agent has to wait for me to approve the call before I accept it."
"Hey, sometimes it pays to be me. See you in an hour, Heero, and be ready to start Operation Duo." With that, Quatre hung up to prepare for a memorable day, while Heero just stared at the phone dumbly.

Heero was a little nervous. Okay... Really nervous. He and Duo would be getting to know each other again. It was clean slate from this point on. This was his last chance. He had better not blow it. With those thoughts, he took a deep breath and stepped out into the pool area. "Hey guys!"
Everyone looked up at Heero. Quatre smiled encouragingly, Wufei glared, Sally smirked, and Duo? Well, he gazed at Heero like a starving man. So, Heero did the only thing a sane man would do... He leaped into the pool, soaking everyone around him.
Duo grinned. "I can't believe you did that, Heero!"
"Yuy! You will not live to make this new movie!" Wufei sputtered.
"Wufei, it's a pool. You're supposed to get wet," Heero dead-panned.
At that point, Duo got the most evil looking smirk known to man. "Hey Wuffles, I'd say it's time to serve Yuy up some well deserved justice."
Wufei's eyes sparkled. "For just this once Maxwell, that is a brilliant idea." At that point, everyone in the pool started a splashing offensive against Heero. They spent several hours in the pool trying to regain all the good camaraderie they had gained during the wars. Needless to say, it came back to them fairly quickly.

"Aww Q, I don't wanna go horseback riding. Those things don't like me." Duo sulked... because well, Gundam pilots do not pout. Well, except maybe Quatre, but that is a powerful weapon in itself.
Quatre stood there and thought for a bit. "All right. Heero, how about you keep Duo company? There's a rec room down the hall and to the right. I'll go riding with Sally and Wufei. Have fun you two!" Quatre disappeared down the hall, after Sally and Wufei - before either Duo or Heero could protest.
"Well, I guess your stuck with me, if that's all right with you, Duo." Heero sighed.
Duo took a deep breath. "Yeah, I guess. Heero, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want to spend time with you. It's just..."
"I understand. How about we just watch a movie? With the lights on. Maybe a comedy?"
Duo smiled brilliantly. "Thanks for understanding."
"You're welcome, Duo. I just want to make this as easy as possible for you. I don't want to screw up," Heero said earnestly.
"Well, so far you're doing a terrific job. Come on, race ya there!" Duo took off in blur of black and chestnut.
Heero smiled softly, and followed the whirlwind halfway across the house.
When Heero got to the rec room, he was amazed by the huge big screen TV and a rather large collection of movies displayed right next to it.
Duo bounced excitedly over to Heero. "I picked three; you choose."
Heero sweat dropped. "Duo, these are movies I did."
"Oh? I didn't notice. I'm sorry, Heero. I..." Duo looked down at his feet. Suddenly, they were very interesting...
"No, no. It's okay. If these are what you want to watch, we'll watch them. I'm actually flattered Duo. I would have never thought you would even go near a theatre after I became a star."
Duo's eyes flashed darkly. "I missed you... After the suicide attempt, I was pretty much despondent. An all around gloomy guy. Kat and Tro dragged me to a theatre as soon as they found out who was starring in it. I was so far gone, I never even realized you were in it, until I saw you on that movie screen. It was what pulled me out of it; knowing you were safe, and alive. Since then, Kat has bought a copy of every movie you've ever made."
"God, Duo. I'm so sorry!" Heero gasped, still kicking himself over past mistakes.
"It's all right. Would you just give me a hug for minute or two? Then, we can sit down and watch a movie. It doesn't have to be one of these. It's just, you know, a comfort thing."
"I understand." Heero pulled Duo into a hug, and they walked over to the movie collection. They ended up watching old Marx brothers movies until Quatre, Wufei and Sally found them later in the afternoon snuggled up against each other, asleep.

Hey Little One,
No meddling! Duo and Heero need to figure this out for themselves. If you push them too quickly, it could hurt them both. I know you are excited. But, be careful! Remember how off Duo was for months after the suicide attempt. I don't really think we need a repeat of that, from either of them. I hope that they can find that trust again, and I think that Duo laying down some basic ground rules is a good idea. It will give Heero a mission.
About the press I'm not so sure Quatre. They were horrible to us, but Heero has been very good at manipulating them so far. Let's just hope their luck holds out. At least they have the estate to meet at. The press stays away from us, if they know what is good for them. I can't wait to find out what has happened since your last e-mail.
I love you, and I miss you too. I should be back within a couple of weeks. I love you, I love you, I love you.
See you soon!
