Chapter VI

The afternoon went by with Emmer staying around Trowa and Quatre. During the time she spent with them, she felt something of a third wheel, but she didn't really know why until that hour before dinner when the three of them were in Quatre's office. The office was a nice size, one large, draped window gave the room a nice light this room too was filled with shelves of books, just like the study on the other side of the door was. On the wall behind the big desk was a portrait of the past two generation's of the Winner family and she could only guess that the baby that the eldest girl was holding was holding Quatre as an infant. She had to admit that was a rather handsome family.

As she sat in a chair that faced the desk reading a very large book on the mobile suits, Quatre was looking over some numbers as he sat at the desk, and Trowa only stood there, looking out the window. Occasionally Emma would catch Trowa staring, not out the window but at Quatre, and every time he found her watching him, he looked away with a blush on his cheeks, but his facial expression never changed from its pessimistic look. That is, until the third time she caught him looking at Quatre, she started to hum that tune that every child used when they wanted to tease someone. The one that goes: "Some and someone, sitting in a tree…" As she hummed it she kept a smirked face on Trowa. Well, that attracted Quatre's attention and he looked up from his work at Emma then at Trowa who glanced at Quatre, only to blush more than ever. Quatre then looked and blinked at Emma. That same innocent smile formed his lips and he chuckled, "Well, it would seem as though you have discovered our little secret."

"Quatre!" Trowa turned, trying to implore him not to say more.

Quatre only waved his hand in the air as he kept chuckling, "It's alright Trowa, we know her secret after all, it's only fair to compensate." And at this Quatre smiled at Trowa who went back to looking out the window without another word. Quatre turned back to Emma, "You won't tell, will you?" She only smiled at him then shook her head, "Of course not." They both smiled at each other, and then went back to what they were doing before.

Not long after that, Rashid entered the office and bowed to them, "Master Quatre, I'm sorry to intrude, but um… we have an… unexpected guest…"

All three of them looked at each other. Emma and Trowa shrugged at Quatre, showing that neither was expecting anyone. Quatre turned to Rashid, "Well… show whoever it is in." Rashid bowed and left the room. The three of them exchanged glances again, just before Rashid entered the room again followed by a girl with sandy blond hair that was pulled back with a big black bow, leaving her bangs to hang over her brow. Her skin was fair and her eyes were a lovely shade of blue, but they showed an odd kind of sadness. She was in a white outfit that looked something like what a French dignitary would wear. The overcoat went down to her knees. The shoulders had gold epaulets. The white cuffs were covered by long black ones, that had a silver design on them and protruding from the black cuffs was a light blue silk cloth. The coat was slightly open, revealing a dark purple vest and a light blue, silk neck wrap that was tucked neatly into the vest. The flaps over the coat that led to the high collar also had a silver thread design on them. She was wearing sailor leggings that constricted just passed the knees and from there, the rest of her leg was in white tights and tan Birkenstocks. And even in the heat of this part of the world, the girl had on pure white, silk gloves.

Trowa turned to look at the girl and Quatre stood from his chair, Emma took this as a sign to do the same. Quatre smiled at the girl, "Miss Relena!" he exclaimed, "It's good to see you again! How are you?" The girl just stood there, looking at Quatre as Rashid left the office, shutting the door on his way out. "I am well," she finally spoke up after she heard the door click shut, then turned her head slightly to look at the standing Emmer.

"Oh! I'm sorry," Quatre apologized, "This is Emmer, and he is staying with us for a while. Emmer, this is Miss Relena Derlian, also known as…"

Emma had cut him off as she took Relena's hand into her, "Vice Foreign Minister Derlian." Emma smirked as she bowed down, to kiss Relena's hand. "It is a pleasure to meet you. Such a great person as you, I should not be in the presence of such greatness." Emma let go of her hand. Relena only looked at Emma for a moment then smiled. "I am only the ambassador between the Earth Sphere Unified nations and the Colonies, nothing more." She tried to seem simple.

"Oh! But you are much more Miss Derlian. Were you not once known as Queen Relena? Ruler of the Earth Sphere?" Emma kept using the voice she saved for Emmer's use, who was on call at the moment, but she was having fun playing this role.

"Yes, I was." Relena said with a sigh.

Emma smiled more, "I could only hope to one day be as high in status as you!" Her saying this made Quatre loose his composure and tried his hardest not to start laughing at the whole thing. Relena looked at him oddly, "Are you alright Quatre?" she questioned.

"Yes," he said with a wry grin. "Please… sit." Quatre gestured to the chair. Emma sat, only after Relena, and then went back to reading the big book. Trowa remained standing. "Now, Miss Relena, what brings you to this part of the solar system? And this part of the world?" Quatre smiled as he sat back down in his chair.

Relena sat perfectly erect in her chair, her legs crossed at the knees, her hands clasped about them. "Well, as you know, in a few shirt days it will have been one year since the war with Colony L3-X18999 ended. We at the federation feel that at this time, it would be appropriate to celebrate the time when peace finally began…"

"And you wanted our help?" Quatre smiled at her. "We could have the main event right here, and not have to worry about fees for renting out a large place for all of the dignitaries and guests." Just then Duo had burst into the room, "Did I hear something about a party?!?" His eyes were wide with hope and Emma could only smile at his behavior. Just behind Duo stood Wufei and Heero. Emma saw that Miss Relena even noticed that Heero was there, for they just stared at one another in a way that made both her and Duo blink. To Emma, their gazes looked cold and unmoving, but the way Duo and Quatre were smiling at the two, told a different story all together. "Heero." Relena finally broke the silence, but her voice was cold. Heero only nodded to her, then turned and left. Wufei glanced at Emma and she blinked and blushed at the look, then he too turned and left. Just before they had left the study, Heero stopped and stood there. "Rashid says that dinner is on the table."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dinner was a wonderful time. All of the pilots seemed to know Relena rather well and weren't as formal with her as one would expect people to be with the Vice Foreign Minister. Quatre sat at the head of the table, Trowa was to his right and Rashid to his left. Next to Trowa sat Wufei and next to him was Heero. Next to Rashid sat Emma and then Duo. Relena had taken the seat on the other head end of the large rectangle table. The conversation started about the colonies and political things that went on through the first half of the meal. After the sorbet there was a short lull in the conversation. That's when Relena noticed something about Emmer and spoke up. "So, Emmer, I see that you must have been brought up in a Noble house." She sat down her teacup.

Emma blinked at her, "Why, whatever do you mean Miss Relena?"

"Well, for one, I have noticed that when you drink your tea, you sip it and keep your little finger at a curve." Relena smirked.

Emma looked at the way she was holding her cup and quickly sat it down, then cleared her throat. ~Damn! I wish she would just go back to flirting with Heero like she's been doing all evening! ~ She smirked to herself. ~It is amusing how her efforts seem to be for nothing, he's hardly looked at her! ~

"Another thing," Relena continued, "you sit so properly, but most of all, everything you do seems to be rather feminine."

Emma sank, slouching in her chair and kept her eyes down, except to glance at Quatre. He spoke up for her. "Miss Relena! Pardon Emmer. You see, he had gotten lost in the past sandstorm and had collapsed outside the main gate. He has amnesia and doesn't remember much except for his name and that he was searching for something. In the passed day, he has discovered that he could play the piano and that is all. It may seem that you have helped Emmer in stating these facts. Not too many people these days would know how to do things the proper and noble way. So it might just be that Emmer could possibly be a member of some prestigious house." He smiled at Emma who sat back up and cleared her throat.

Relena considered all of this for a moment then nodded and yawned, covering her mouth. "I am sorry Quatre, but the time difference seems to be getting to me. If you don't mind, I shall go to the room I usually stay in." At this she stood and everyone else stood as well until she had left, then they all sat back down. Emma relaxed a little more now that Relena Peacecraft was gone. She glanced at Duo and noticed that he was looking at her. ~This will be fun, let's see how he reacts when a guy flirts with him! ~

She sat up again when the next part of the meal came in. As she ate, she had slid her shoe off and started to rub at Duo's left leg slowly. She glanced over to notice that he had started blushing and he had small beads of sweat on his brow. She ran her foot a little higher and watched him drop his fork. She quickly stopped and went to eat a little. She glanced up and noticed that he was looking right at her and that Quatre and Trowa were looking between the both of them. Quatre had a grin on his face and nodded to Emma. She blushed. ~Well it looks like they know who it is now…~ She looked at Heero and Wufei; they just continued to eat in silence as they had been doing for the entire evening. She looked at Duo and blinked, "What?" She tried to look innocent. He only laughed, "Ha! Very funny, Emmer. I get it! Joke's on me! You were trying to get me to think that Wufei was hitting on me!" He winked at her and she chuckled. She glanced over at Wufei and started to run her foot up his leg.

Wufei's eyes grew with anger and he quickly looked up at them. "I suggest you two stop before I make you stop!"

Emma and Duo looked at each other, and then at him, "Stop what?" They said in unison. Emma then proceeded to rub her foot up his leg again. Wufei tried to kick at her foot but moved it before he could. "Which one of you is it?!?... I SAID STP IT!" Emmer blinked and looked at Duo, he winked as if to say he just ran his foot up Wufei's other leg. She smiled and looked at Wufei, "But we aren't doing anything Chang, honest!" At that they both ran a foot up either of Wufei's legs. Wufei lunged across the table at them and they both got up and backed away, knocking the chairs over. By now Quatre and Trowa were balling with laughter. Wufei cursed at them as he scrambled to get up, the two pranksters took this as their cue to run for it, before he could catch up to them. They ran into the living area of the house.

"This way!" Duo yelled as he grabbed hold of her hand. They raced into his room and he quickly shut and locked the door. She had jumped onto his bed and had gotten ready for if Wufei tried to knock the door down, and Duo sank to the floor in fits of laughter, Emma fell to sit on the bed, doing the same thing, laughing. "Do… do you think he followed us?" She asked him.

"No…. I don't think so… Maybe… you should… go.. to your room…" He was trying to catch his breath.

Emma had already gone back to normal breathing. "No, I'm not leaving here tonight." She smiled at him. Duo looked at her with surprise in his eyes. "Huh?"
