A New Life Part 12

"Ok, we're in the maze Trowa, can you download an image of this maze to help us through?" asked Quatre. Duo was on the ground and Quatre was yelling into his mouth.

"Dude, you have got to gargle, it smells in your mouth and your spitting in mine." Duo told him disgusted.

"Yeah Quatre, an image is appearing. Ok, you and Duo are at the entrance right?" Trowa asked. His tiny voice could be heard through a mini radio attached to Quatre's and Duo's ears.

"Yep, we're at the entrance. Which way do we go, right or left?" Duo asked as he looked at the right, then at the left.

"According to the map, you have to somehow go down the middle because both are dead ends that just lead around, and then back at the entrance." Trowa told them.

"How in the hell are we supposed to do that?" Duo yelled.

"Calm down Duo. There might be hidden camera's here and they could be taping our every move." Quatre told the infuriated Duo.

"Fine, fine, fine. Now get off of me. Hey Trowa, how much longer do we have to find Relena and Heero?" Duo asked as he calmed down a bit.

"You have an hour and 50 minutes to get through the maze and mansion, and from the looks of it, you have to hurry up." Trowa .

"Oh great. Where's my knife when I need it." Muttered Duo.

"Hey you guys, there seems to be a hidden door somewhere behind Quatre (ever seen the secret garden)." Trowa said.

"There is? Then lets get going to the other side." Duo said as he gently pushed Quatre out of the way and was smacked into a wooden door.

"I think it needs a key." Quatre said as Duo slowly slumped down.

"Umm, I think the key has to be hidden. If only you had a metal detector." Trowa sighed.

"Umm, I got one." Quatre said.

"How in the hell do you have a metal detector on you? Duo asked who had woke up.

"That's what I would also like to know." Trowa asked suspiciously.

"Well, on the carrier I saw this note that read 'metal detector for search', so I figured that I was kinda for us. I just hid it in my bag." Quatre said sheepishly.

"Well whatever! Let's find that key and open that door." Duo said all of a sudden happy as he hurried Quatre to find the key.

"Ok, ok, ok stop rushing me." Quatre said as he turned on the detector.

'Beep'

'Beep'

'Beep'

'Biddeep biddeep'

"Yes!" exclaimed Duo as he sat on his knees and stuck his hands onto the ground and started digging up the dirt.

"You guys better hurry up. There's only an hour and 45 minutes left." Trowa said.

"Don't rush us, don't rush us." Duo said.

"Hey, I think I found it." Quatre said as he poked at something in the ground and Duo heard a 'clunk' sound.

"Jackpot!" said Duo as he pulled the key out of the ground.

"Ok, now that we have the key we have to find the lock." Quatre said as he brushed himself off and walked towards the door.

"Wow, this thing is huge." Duo said as he looked at the key.

"Here give it to me Duo. I found the whole." Quatre said as he held out his hand.

"Here ya go." And Quatre stuck the key into the whole and turned it.

"Whoa!" Quatre replied as he opened the door. Before the two of them was a little paradise. There was a garden with fruit, and there were flowers everywhere. There was a fawn eating berries off of a bush.

"Wow! This place is amazing." Duo said as he stepped in. He saw a bunny and petted it.

"Now which way do we go, there are three pathways to choose from." Quatre asked.

"You have to go down the right path, but be careful. It seems as if some of the stones are,.." Trowa stopped as Duo screamed.

"Ahhhh!!!!!!" Duo screamed as he almost fell into a small whole full of quicksand.

"unstable." Trowa finished.

"It looks that Noin has been doing extra work. Duo are you ok?" Quatre asked as he helped Duo up.

"Yeah." Duo said.

"Hey guys, you have an hour and 40 minutes left." Trowa told them.

"We should be in the middle of this maze now. How much longer do we have to travel to the mansion?" Quatre said as he and Duo took rocks and threw one onto each stone to see if it would fall. If it didn't, then it was safe to step on.

"Yeah, only a couple of more meters left."

"Hey Trowa, there are 2 doors here, which one do we take?" Duo asked.

"I think the left one" Trowa replied.

"Ok." Duo said and he pushed the door open.

"Oh My God!" Duo said. In front of him and Quatre was a huge mansion. It was a thousand feet tall, five hundred feet wide, about a million windows, and doors that showed which meant dead ends that lead outside (remember, my fic, my way).

"Well, we'd better get started." Quatre said as he walked to the front of the door.

"Well, there's the first clue." Duo said.

On the paper it read,.

Open the door and
Cross the floor
Look to your left, than your right
Don't go strait but somewhere that's bright


"Well, lets find somewhere that's bright." Duo said as he opened the door.
