*Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep Be-* ::Crash::

"Stupid clock…" mumbled a certain someone with a long braid. Duo looked down at the broken alarm clock and muttered something about stupid alarm clocks. He kept his eyes open for a while, then yawned. Duo licked his chapped lips with his eyes drooping. His left eye twitched for a while as he grumpily walks to the bathroom. He flicked the light switch and grabbed his tooth brush, gushed some tooth paste on the bristles. All you could hear from the bath room was teeth being brushed, turn of the water facet, gargling, spitting, and the sound of the toilet flusher. Duo walked out of the bathroom and slipped his feet into comfy, warm bunny slippers. (A.N.: I couldn't stand not adding that in! Duo just seems so cute in bunny slippers!) He stretched out his arms and then walked to Heero's room, which where was another alarm clock that is not broken.

Once Duo reached at Heero's door, his could believe his eyes at what he had seen. Duo blinked a couple of times and rubbed his eyes, if he is truly seeing what he is seeing now. Duo's mouth curved to a huge smile and he quickly raced to his bag, snatching out

the Kodak. He was smiling like a mad person as he ran toward Heero's bed. Turning on the camera, he zoom the lens close enough to see Heero and Relena in each others arms. Duo pressed the button and took many pictures of this couple. He took many different angles of Heero and Relena in bed with Heero's arms around her. Duo was so distracted of taking pictures, that he forgot he put on flash. A couple pictures were taken until Heero stirred. Duo still didn't know that Heero is about to awake. Heero's right eye open and saw Duo right away. Duo, of course, still doesn't know that Heero's awake until Heero yelled, "Baka give me that CAMERA!"

Now Duo finally knows that the soon-to-be-murderer-of-Duo-Maxwell is awake. With a quick "Eep!", Duo ran off into his and Trowa's room and slammed the door shut. Duo's heart was beating fast by the minute. That slam also woke up Wufei and the light sleeper Quatre. 'Oh boy, Heero would kill me now!' He thought, still smiling at what he has got.

"What the hell was that Maxwell!" Wufei yelled looking around for the dude with a long braid.

Quatre woke up with a start and was wide awake.

'That bastard is going to be skinned by me soon!' Heero thought. Relena stirred a little because of Wufei's disturbing yell. He looked down at Relena and smiled. Something hit him, him and Relena, in each others arms, if seen by the others, equal annoying little pals asking if something happen between him and Relena. Heero unwillingly tried to take Relena out of his arms without waking her up, didn't work. Relena stirred and opened her eyes. The first she saw was Heero looking at her. She stood up and stared at him for a minute.

"Good morning… Uh! I hate this day...so I'm warning you, don't push my buttons because I'm not at the happiest mode right now." She warned and walked off to the restroom.

Heero ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. 'I wasn't going to anyway.' He thought. The next he sees is Wufei banging on Duo's door, yelling that he is going to kill Duo for waking him up. Quatre, like what Duo did before, went to the bathroom. Trowa eventually wake up seeing Duo against the door with Wufei banging on it on the other side.

"What in the world did you do now to upset Wufei again?" Trowa asked Duo.

"Uh… I ran from Heero's room to my room, slammed the door shut after I took pictures of Heero and Relena in each other's arms." Duo said proudly.

"Oh." Trowa replied. But then he snapped into reality and yapped, "Heero and Relena in each other's arms?!!" Duo just smiled and replied, "You heard what I said!"

"DUO MAXWELL OPENS THE FUCKIN' DOOR RIGHT NOW!" Wufei yelled, still banging on the door.

Relena washed her face peaceful, until Wufei's yell broke it. Her hands were twitching and the soap fell out of twitching hands. 'Wufei and Duo are definitely pushing my buttons now!' She thought. After washing her face and brushed her teeth, she walked over to Wufei. She was really ticked of now. She yanked Wufei's little pony, pulling him over, pulled the door open, letting Duo fall onto the floor, and she yelled at them.

"WUFEI! SHUT THE HELL UP! I'M NOT IN THE GOOD MOOD, SO MURDER DUO LATER! DUO! SHUT UP AND DON'T TICK ME OFF ANYMORE BECAUSE YOU ARE DEFINITELY PUSHING MY BUTTONS!" She yelled at them giving them a cold stare. With that command, Wufei and Duo shut up and went to go changed. Not really satisfied, still Relena went back her room to change.

She passed by the bed, which Heero is still on, and she asked, "What time is it Heero?"

Heero glanced at the clock and replied, "8 A.M.,"

Relena opened her suitcase and pulled out a pair of indigo blue jeans, a pink muscle shirt, and a cream colored, strapless bra. Heero just sat on his bed watching. Somehow Relena forgot that Heero was in the room and pulled down her boxers, revealing a white bikini underwear. Heero was surprised that she revealed her underwear to him. 'God does she know that I'm here?' Heero thought. Relena put on her indigo blue jeans, zipped and button it. She then took off her tank top. Oh boy was Heero's eyes wide open! Heero couldn't see her breasts, but only her tanned back. Heero was like, thinking that he should tell her that he is here in the same room, but his mouth was to dry to say anything. She hooked on her bra and then slipped on her tee.

Once she turned around, she almost fell when she saw that Heero was watching her the whole time! She was mortified! 'Oh my god! I didn't know he was in here too! Did he saw my breasts! What a pervert!' Relena thought. Her faced was now red as a tomato.

"Did you see my breasts? You are such a pervert!" She snapped. She wanted to just walk up to him and slap his face.

"Actually, I only saw your back. No I'm not a pervert!" Heero replied. Relena walked toward Heero and stopped until she faced him. She was about to say something until she heard a wolf whistle. Both her and Heero turned and say Duo. Duo was smiling and had a camera with him. Heero's eyes flashed to a glare when he saw the camera.

"Oh, hi Heero and Relena. Whacha doin'? Also, I want to know, um what did you guys do last night?" He said with an ear to ear smile.

"Why do you ask Duo?" Relena asked him with a hint of suspiciousness.

"Oh because what I got here in this camera are pictures of you and Heero in each other's arms, that's why!" Duo said.

Relena dashed toward Duo and before Duo could escape, she strangled him.

"Ah! Not too hard! I-*breathes* can't breathe! *Gasp*!" Duo coughed up. Relena snatched the camera and let's go of Duo. Duo thanked god that he's alive. She grasps the Kodak One-Time-Use-Only Camera and threw it on the floor. She grabs the nearest shoe, which her blue high heels, put in on, and started smashing and stomping on the camera.

*Crack!* "Stupid little camera!"

*Crack!* "Annoying little Duo!"

*Rubble!* "Jackass Dad!"

*Crack!* "Fuckin' Scott and this stupid race!"

Duo couldn't stand it and tried to save the camera by trying to snatch it from Relena's heels.

*Crack!* There goes Duo's fingers.

"Ow! Mommy!" Duo screamed and kissed continuously his smashed fingers.

Relena stopped stomping the camera and looked at Duo. She tilted her head and said, "I thought you were an orphan Duo? So how could you have known your Mommy?"

Duo looked at Relena with shock and horror. "MY MOMMY IS THIS BRAID! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT I DON'T KNOW MY MOMMY!" Duo kissed his braid and sat there for a second telling his braid that Relena is just being a big meanie.

Relena looked at Duo as if he was a freak of nature but he's Duo. Relena smiled, somehow Duo made her lighten up a bit. She looked over to Heero and he was just staring blankly at Duo. 'Hehe, Heero looks so cute when he stares at people.' She thought. She sighed and Heero went off to go change. Relena sat down on a chair next to the window and looked out of it. She leans her head onto the window staring at the beautiful sky. Somehow, she knows she'll be back to her father; still she doesn't have the tape.

'God, please help me…I don't want to be caught, I know my father would turn me in. I don't have the tape, so that won't help. I know I have to race Scott today soon, but what happens after the race. I feel so helpless, should I still trust these guys? Heero, I have to tell him what's going on, but not now. Maybe I could escape this again. Should I run away again? How would the others react? Me, disappeared, um…Heero and guys might freak. Or what if they don't care? Would they just shrug off the memory of meeting me and go on in life if I disappear? What am I talking about, I mean I just met those guys 3 days ago, how should they care enough about me even though they just met me 3 days ago. I just, want to disappear so badly.' Relena thought as she looked beyond the city below. A single tear slid down her face, Relena fierce fully wiped it away. She toughens up herself, showing the brave side of her, not the side of fear, but the side with no fear.

She got off the chair, grabbed her tote bag, and was headed out the door. Out from the corner of Heero's eye he saw Relena heading for the door. He immediately got out of the restroom wearing a muscle shirt and boxers and caught her arm. Relena jerk her arm back and said, "Look I got to go to the arena, I have to race Scott. You got to understand, I have to go."

Relena continued to walk to the door, but Heero blocked her way and hold her shoulders. "I understand all right, but I'm going with you. You might need help." Heero assured.

"Look I do not need you help!" Relena snapped. She tried to get through the door but Heero still wouldn't let her through.

"I'm still going with you, just wait for me for like 10 minutes for me to change, and then we'll go. You need my help, I know it. If you don't agree to let me go with you, Duo, Wufei, Trowa, Quatre, and I are going to tie you to a chair again or knock you out." Heero smirked when her forehead scrunched up.

The thought of being tied to a chair again or knocked out again didn't amuse Relena. So she gave up but had another way to escape away from him. She smiled and came close to Heero until her whole body was almost touching his. Heero tensed up a bit. She faced him face to face, had her hand on one side of his face, and said sweetly, "Okay you could tag along with me, but…" She raised her hand until it touched his hair, "you have to agree on one thing."

"That is?" Heero questioned her.

Relena yanked his hair and pulled his head down until his ear was next to her lips. She yelled, "You're not exactly going!" Heero's head surged with pain. 'Now I know that never let a woman touch your hair when they are ill-bred.' Heero reflected.

Heero grunted. Relena yanked Heero to the side of the wall hard and then pushed him to the floor. Once he was flat on the floor, Relena took her chance and ran toward the door. Heero pulled himself off the floor and ran toward Relena. Relena yanked the door open, causing Heero to bang his head onto it, and she dashed out as fast as she could. Heero rubbed his head, grabbed some jeans on and, like everyone guessed, chased after her. Relena ran as fast as she could, she was a quarter away from the elevator. At the corner of her eye, she sees Heero almost at her tail. Relena makes a sharp right turn and ran faster. Heero lost her but continue to look for her.

Relena looked behind her and know now that she lost Heero. She walks further on; she is now halfway to the elevator. Her heartbeat slows down until it was back to normal. She stops to apply some lip gloss, since she was in a hurry; she forgot to apply some on. While she applies the gloss to her lips, someone wraps their strong arm around Relena's neck. Her arms instantaneously shot up grabbing the arm. The arm grasped Relena's tightly. Relena's breathing was hard and raspy. She tries to use all her strength to pull the arm away from her, but she wasn't physically powerful enough to do so.

That someone said into her ear, "Do you remember that you have a race against me Baby?"

Relena straight away knew that voice; it belonged to the one and only Scott Poldet. Relena's mind raced on thinking that Scott has not only came here to remind her that she has a race against him, but something more. But she can't think of one thing else that he is here to tell her. Scott used his other arm to caress Relena's body. He first had his hand on Relena's shoulder, sliding its fingers down her body until it reached her stomach.

"Do you still have that scar my vixen?" Scott asked Relena. He slipped his fingers under Relena's muscle shirt. Relena took a sharp grasp of anger. She fidgeted and tried to get out of Scott's grasp. Scott circled his fingers on her stomach, but before he could do anything else, someone tapped his shoulder. Scott turned around and he was greeted by a fist whacked into his jaw. Relena stepped a few steps away from Scott and too long breaths into her lungs. She lifts her head to see who her savior was. She smirked once she saw her rescuer, it was Heero, the one and only. Heero grabbed Scott's collar, pulling him up to him, and he socked Scott in the gut. Relena stepped back to Scott and told Heero, "I could handle it now Heero." Heero threw Scott to the floor; Scott slowly tries to stand up.

"You, if you ever try to attempt to go under my shirt again, I'll kill you." With that threat Relena punched Scott in the eye as hard as she can. Scott groaned and hand his hand over his eye. Relena took one last glance at Scott and walked off to the elevator. Heero gave Scott a deadly glare and threaten, "If you ever come so close to her like that again, I'll kill you myself. Believe me I will." With that threat, Heero went off and followed behind Relena, leaving a bruised up Scott.

Scott sat there, and then started to smile his deadly smile. A wicked smile of his tells us that he has something up his sleeve. He started to laugh like a wild hyena. He stands up, and whisper dangerously, "Don't worry Relena; you are soon to be acquainted by your father again. He would deal you about this, 11:30 a.m. your life would be changed around forever. You will see what you don't believe you would see. Soon, you would be in that jail cell where you belonged 10 years ago." He knows Relena can't him, but he knows that she knows that something would happen at 11 a.m., the time of the race between Relena and her past.

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

Relena walked faster by the minute. She thought about what had happened. She knows if Heero wasn't there to save/help her, Scott would have done something more to her already. Thoughts and fears fiddle around her mind. She pushed back the thought about what Scott would do to her if Heero didn't save her. Her senses tell her that she should thank Heero, but somehow she thinks she shouldn't. She probably looks stupid if she tells Heero that she thanked him. But she hasn't ever thanked anyone in a long time. She could feel and hear the vibration and sound of Heero's foot steps. He's trying to catch up with her. She felt stupid that she wasn't strong enough to escape from Scott herself. If Heero could beat up Scott, she could to. But what was stopping her from hitting Scott? She could have bitten Scott's arm or kicked his shin or crouch or something like that.

'I should have let Heero come with me in the first place, instead of letting him chase after me.' She felt foolish, like a child. Heero's foot steps came closer. Few seconds later he caught up to her. Heero paced himself until he was walking at the same speed as Relena. She glanced at him for a second, her thoughts wondered around, thinking of the features of Heero's handsome face. His intensive eyes gave her chills down her spine. His lips look very inviting. Relena slapped those thoughts away and continued to walk. Heero looked at her…studying her face to see if she seems to be okay.

"You know, you should have waited for me. I knew you need help. And I thought you said you didn't need help, now look here, you did need help." Heero said flatly.

"Look I could have escape and kicked Scott's ass myself, no but you had to butt in." Relena snapped.

"It didn't seem like you could have handled it yourself Relena." Heero said in the matter of fact way.

"Look, I didn't ask you for help did I? Actually your reply would be, how I should say this, no." Relena said.

"Still, you need my help." Heero assumed.

"Whatever," Relena said under her breath and they both have reached the elevator.

"Going up or down?" Heero asked.

"Down you idiot." Relena replied.
