It was noon on the day after Talia had been found before all the couples emerged from their bedrooms. They all came together in the large dining room, each sitting with their lover. Talia was purring softly, her tail wrapped around Quatre's waist. Heero and Trowa were joined at the shoulder, their fingers lacing together under the table. Wufei was visibly leaning against Duo, occasionally nuzzling at the crook of the other's neck, Duo draping his arm around Wufei with a larger than normal grin.

"I see we all had the same adjenda last night," Duo commented, observing the changes in his friends and sister. He sighed deeply, tightening his grip on Wufei slightly. A heavy silence fell over the group, each pair absorbed in their partner, looks saying all the words. They all ate silently, the servants edgy, fearing the scilence was due to tension rather than extreme peace. After they had finnished their meal, the reconveined in one of the many living rooms.

When they entered, Duo sat down in an armchair, Wufei sitting across his lap. Quatre and Talia sat down on a couch, Talia stretched her full length with her head in Quatre's lap. Heero and Trowa took the love seat, sitting as close to each other as possible.

"So, what happened all that time, Talia?" Duo asked bluntly.

"Well, I got the injections before I woke up the first time, then I mainly ate and slept until I was fully altered. After that, I spent the time testing out all my new abilities, adjusting to the most uncomfortable changes in my body. Then Lee knocked me out and brought me here." Talia replied, giving a big yawn, which faded into a purr as Quatre began to scratch her chin.

"No clues were given as to where you were held?" Wufei asked, his arms hanging about Duo's neck as he lifted his head from the other's neck.

"No, not even from Lee, although I don't know why." Talia replied, her purring ceasing as she did so, starting up as soon as she was done.

"Hn." Was all Wufei replied, his face buried in Duo's neck, arms tight around the other's body.

"Hey, Wufei, why do you like my neck so much?" Duo asked, peering down at his lover. Wufei poked his head up, meeting Duo's with a small smile.

"Because it's my favorite part of you. It's strong, beautiful, and it's very, very warm. Just like the rest of you, but it's the softest, and I love the feel of it." Wufei replied quietly, blushing slightly. Duo smiled back and planted a soft kiss on Wufei's nose, earning a quiet giggle.

"My Wu-bear." Duo whispered to him, gently tightening his grip on the other. Wufei smiled into his neck as the doorbell rang and a pair of guests were ushered into their room after a few moments. Duo gently nudged Wufei, motioning him to look at their guests. When he did so, a light blush crossed his face.

"Fathers," Wufei said, trying to get out of Duo's lap. Duo kept pulling him back down until Wufei gave up with a sigh and a glare.

"Good afternoon, Wufei." Treize replied with a smile and a chuckle, "I see you've had a busy night." At this, Zechs also gave a slight laugh.

"They're not the only ones, love." Zechs murmured to his husband, winding an arm around the other's waist, "I do believe we all did." Zechs said as he stepped behind Treize, wrapping the other arm around him as well and resting his chin on a shoulder. Treize brought his hand up and ran it through silky platinum locks, smiling at all the others.

"We merely came to see Talia with our own eyes. I must admit that the alterations did sound a bit fantastical, but here she is, exactly as described." Treize said with a smile.

"You know what the weirdest thing is, though, putting aside Talia's alterations, that is?" Duo asked, looking at them all, "Quatre is the only one of us that's straight. I mean, you would think that he would be the only one of us that's gay by his appearance. It's really weird, I mean, he wears /pink/. Pink! And he's straight!"

"Do you have a probl-" Quatre began angrily, but was cut off when the mansion began to shake. They all stood, heading for the doorways and the closest thing to safety. They stayed below the doorway, watching the servants running around in a panic. Suddenly, though it seemed slow to those involved, the entire mansion collapsed in upon itself, crushing all within to death.



"Early this afternoon, the Winner mansion in Europe collapsed. The death toll is still rising, Quatre Winner of Winner Enterprises still missing within the rubble. The cause of the mansion's implosion is still unknown." The news reporter stated in monotone, "In other news, Archeologists believe they have stumbled upon Atlantis in the Mediterranean Sea."
