And now on to the story
Allah...why did I have to fall in love with a man who will never love me? Heero Yuy is an unbreakable wall. The most alive of us tried, but poor Duo failed (That's why I don't tell Heero how I feel about him, i don't want to be rejected too...). And all Duo has to show for trying is a broken. Which quickly healed with help of Trowa and Wu-fei. Ahh... Trowa, good, old, Trowa. I knew my relationship with him was only for the pleasure. We'd both needed someone(s). I needed Heero and he needed Duo and Wu-fei. I'm envious of him because he found his true loves and they were willing to accept him. I wonder if Heero will ever except me... I think i realized my passion for Heero Yuy.When he and Wing Zero fell into the water after he destroyed Mariameia's (I think that's how it's spelt.) Fortress. NO! *I Knew* I had to have him, to love the cobalt blue eyed, messy brown hair, other wise known as the perfect person in my eyes, Heero Yuy, the Gundam pilot of Wing Zero. Ja Ne, Duo's here. *LATER* Duo found out about my love for Heero. He told me I should just tell him. I replied saying, Heero wold kill me and I don't think I can handle being rejected from him. But all Duo did is crack up and mange to squeak out no way! I wonder what Duo is hiding from me; anywise I'll take his word on Heero. It's 10:30PM. I better get going if I'm going to tell Heero my feelings for him. At least I know he prefers guys from one of our Truth or Dare sessions... Ja Ne. *THE NEXT DAY* Yesterday was the best day of my life. Heero told me the three little words I needed to hear-I love you. He proved to me those words were true in his room...:) I don't think Duo, Trowa, and Wu-fei appreciated all the noise that came from Heero's room last night. I think this because Trowa and Wu-fei had bags under their eyes and keep shooting Heero and me death glares. And poor Duo passed out in his oatmeal... Anyway this should be this last time I write in you; so Ja Ne. -Quatre RaberbaWinner

Part One:
The lunatic, the lover and the poet Are of imagination all compact. ---Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream
"Four-thousand nine-hundred, five-thousand, five-thousand one hundred, five-thousand--" "Duo! I just finished counting your stash under the couch; the total comes to three thousand! How much you got there?" I gave here a look and said, "Maybe if you gave me a chance to count I could be able to count internally I winced. I heard the coldness in the tone of voice I used. Sometimes it scared the hell out of me. "Hidre, I'm sorry, it wasn't necessary for me to say that. I have," I quickly counted the rest, "six thousand." " Don't worry about it Duo. Duo, you are probably wondering why I'm having count all your money. What I'm about to say next I say as a friend who knows you too well for her own good. When you came back here I knew something was seriously wrong. You weren't just have a bout of depression like we do sometimes. You really looked like you wanted slice your own wrist and just bleed till death and stain some cheap surface somewhere, but you didn't. Something tied you to life. Over the next few months that follow you buried whatever happened between you and that guy Heero down deep. It's been a year and five months and I still don't know happen but i do know that you need to get away. That's why I bought you a one way ticket to Los Angeles, a place on Earth because it's killing you inside, it's eating you inside out." Hirde took a deep breath and her eyes beg me just to say yes and don't fight her about it. Yeah right. I looked at her like she lost her marbles. I thought she did. Sending me off to Earth and spending so much money on me. I know for a fact that it is not cheap to buy a ticket to Earth no matter where the destination is to or where it is from. Since L2 is so out of date technology wise, it is even more expensive. I so did not want to go along with this it was ridiculous. With my luck I'll probably ruin some person's life in LA too. "Thank You, Hirde. You are way too good to me, but I can't except it. I'm doing fine right here on L2 with you. If I go I'll probably end up die or become a wanted criminal or something along those lines with my luck." "Duo! YOU ARE GOING WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" Hidre yelled, she regain her composure and started talking again, "Please Duo, for me. I know it's killing you staying here. No buts either. Your eyes show it, they look like something died inside of you, and maybe if you go to Earth it will come back to life. Please Duo."
I sighed, "Okay, but answer me one thing.' "What?" she replied. Her girlfriend Sally walked in then. "How did you afford the ticket?" I asked. "Umm..Well-" Sally cut in; "I helped her Duo." I stood there speechless they really did care about me a lot, there was no way I'd refuse there offer now. "Thanks you guys!" I ran to the two women I call my friends and embraced them in a bear hug. "Shucks, don't worry about it. It'll be a good experience for ya to see the world. You better start packin'. Your shuttle leaves in five hours. Oh yeah, remember the ticket is a one way. So as soon as ya gets there start a lookin' for a job and a place to stay. You're welcome back here in a year. Call me monthly, okee dokey?" Hirde said a little surprised. "Sure" Duos walked off and recapitulate the past year. Hidre really changed. She got a job at a cafeteria in a hospital and made enough money to afford a phone. She got a respectable girlfriend named Sally Po. And she just happened to be the Doc who operated on Heero. I don't hold it against her for him not remembering. Sally is here because she learned from me that L2 was in desperate need of doctors, so she decided to move her. It was a real surprise for me. I walked into my room and started packing. It only took three suitcases to pack everything I owned. I own no furniture except for my bed, couch, and a coffee table but I decide to leave them for Hidre. The other things were clothes and personal belongings. I looked at the clock. It was 13:45, one hour and 15 minutes till I finally leave L2. Maybe living on Earth for awhile will do me some good like Hirde said. I put a scarf around the lower half of my face and I said my good-byes and started to walk to the shuttle. I saw things that I usually see but this time I thought about it. I wonder if LA has corner kids, old men and women begging for money, hit men sitting at their hideouts waiting for someone to come in and paying them to kill. I wonder if it has poverty this bad. I wonder if they have someone for me to learn to love.
Maybe I'll find someone like Heero. I got to the station and walked aboard the shuttle and gave the stewardess my ticket to my surprise there was quite a few people on the shuttle a lot of them almost ninety percent looked like they worked for media in someway. I wonder what's up in LA? My seat was in the first row of general class. My seat was by a young woman. "Hiya, nice kids. I take it they aren't yours? What's your name? How ya doin'? My name is Duo Maxwell." For some reason I was compelled to talk to her. She looked a little freaky with those forked eyebrows but her eyes and how she carried herself showed she was a kind lady who took no shit from men and traveled around the block a few times. Plus she didn't give me a strange look because of my outfit. Which was made up of tight vinyl neon blue pants, a tight black spaghetti strap tank top. Plus a white sweater that was only half on (the other half was around my neck with the sleeve hanging down my back) and my black Mexican scarf with roses on it around the lower half of my face covering my face. Or get scared off by me scar when I took off my scarf and retied it because it was getting loose. So I stared talking to her. "Yeah, they are nice kids when they aren't fighting. No, they aren't mine I'm taking the to a children's home I work for called Pandora's Box. They will be well off there. It's run by some famous author who wrote a book on one of the colonies. I can't remember which one. Anyway, my name is Dorothy Cat." "Hey is that your real name?" "Close enough." "Sorry for interrupting, continue." "Okay, I'm fine. Though I hate these seats they are so damn uncomfortable." "You fly often?" "Yeah, I go to the colonies and different places around the United States and find kids who are the worst off and take them back to Pandora's Bow in LA. It's my job.
I work at Pandora's, the pay isn't the best but it's good and it is rewarding. Too bad they are so short staffed they desperately need another person to watch the kids." She sighed, "Hey, why are you here? You don't look like a person who travels." "Well...my friend brought me a one way ticket to LA and told me to live there for a year a then I'm welcomed back to live with her. She said it would be good for me mentally and physically." I know Hirde didn't say that out loud but I know she meant it "So now I'm here going to a place where nothing is waiting for me. When I get there I'll find a cheap motel and starting lookin' for a job. I don't have very much money on me. Have any suggestions?" "Duo, are you good with kids? Do you have experience? Cause if you do I know exactly where you can go and work. It would be a live-in job." Dorothy said with a glint to her eyes. I replied, "Actually yes I'm good with kids and I have a experience too. What 'cha thinkin'?" "Well...you could work at Pandora's Box! Since were short staffed you'd get hired with no problem. Since watching kids is a 24 hours shift job they provide a room for the people who do it and a permanent room for people who have no home they can go to. So what do you say?" "Um, um, um...Sure! Thanks Dorothy you just made my live a whole lot easier. Lucky me that my seat is next to yours" I said with a wide grin on my face I don't care if I looked stupid, my luck finally decided to show up. Maybe it was a good ideal to go along with Hidre's ideal. Maybe Shinigami wouldn't show up at Pandora's Box like it did at Maxwell's Church. I pray it doesn't. I didn't pray to god but to Sister Mary/Helen. I was still pissed at God, especially after last time I asked Sister to give him a message. But still I can't depend on him or Sister Mary/Helen, I'd have to be careful and protect them. A voice came on over the income on the shuttle, "The shuttle is now landing please fasten your seatbelts. I hope you enjoyed your flight with Orbitz Airline."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Sally?" "Yeah, Hirde?" Sally and her lover Hirde were cuddling on Hirde's couch. "Do you think it was a smart ideal to send Duo to LA. What if he runs into Heero? You and I both know there is no way for Heero to retrieve his memories since they were surgically removed." Sally replied to Hirde with a strange glint in her eyes, "Correction my dear Watson. They were not removed, at least permanently. They were removed then the infected areas were treated then put back in with a re-growth solution so it would be grafted back in when we were reconstructing the part of his brain that was infected. So his memories were simply pushed back by his subconscious." "Sally! Why didn't you tell him that earlier, like a year earlier! And whassup with that Watson thing" "Watson was Detective Homes' assistant. Anyway, because they can only become resurface by a emotional that could possibly destroy both of them emotionally and mentally beyond repair and it has to be done by something who was very close to that person and not knowing how to. I want him to rum into Heero because chances are he'll end up working at Pandora's box, a children's home founded by Heero and also Heero lives there." Hirde with a worried look on her face said, " Oh dear sweet Lord, Duo and that guy are going to go threw one hell of a emotional roller coaster. Dear lord please get them both threw this with out them dying inside or out. *****************************************************************
