The morning light decided to intrude where it was unwanted. Her eyes opened slowly. Brodi rubbed her eyes and sat up. Her pillow was still stained with her tears. She stood up and walked to Heero's room. 'I still may have a chance,' she thought. She opened his door quietly, as not to disturb him. But it was no use, he was not there. She heard the distinct sound of water boiling for coffee. She followed the sound to the kitchen.
Heero stood over the stove, making a huge batch of scrambled eggs. Duo was making toast and gathering jelly. Everyone sat around the table, waiting patiently for breakfast. Brodi walked to the table and sat one seat down from Relena. She shot her a glare rivaling Heero's own 'glare-o-death'. Relena just smiled at her and passed her the coffee pot. She took it graciously, pouring the contents into a large cup. Heero brought in the eggs and Duo grabbed a heaping platter of toast and jelly. "Breakfast is served," Heero spoke. He took his seat between Brodi and Relena.
Breakfast went on with endless chatter. Much of which was over what they would be doing that day. Duo suggested they go to the Renaissance Festival. Everyone agreed. "But we should go in costume. To fit in, ya know?" Relena suggested.
"Hilde owns a costume shop," Sally said, quite proud of her brilliance. Relena smiled and looked at Heero. Brodi immediately clung to his arm.
"Oh, Heero, we could go as a prince and princess. We'd be SSSSOOOO perfect together. Don't you think so too?" she questioned him, staring intently at his bottom lip. 'Gods I want to kiss him.' she thought idly. He gave her a look of pure pity.
"Seems to me you're blind," he spoke, she looked confused. "Relena and I are going together in costume. But you and your girls can go as a princess and ladies in waiting," he concluded. Hilde nodded.
"I have the perfect costumes for you then," she offered, trying to ease the tension in the room. "Let's finish breakfast, then we can go pick out costumes." Everyone agreed. Breakfast continued on.
~20 minutes later~
Relena walked back to her room to change. Heero cornered her , pinning her against the wall. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him passionately. He lifted her up, pinning her between his heated body and the cool wall. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed against him a little. He smirked and ran his hands under her shirt, caressing her breasts. Brodi decided on that time to walk down the hall.
Her eyes got wide at the scene before her. HER man, making out with her arch rival, in front of her! "You..." Heero stopped fiddling with Relena's drawstring shorts, and Relena stopped unbuttoning his pants, both looking at their intruder. "How could you do this to me?" she whispered. Heero looked confused as did Relena. "I thought when we did that, it meant more than this," she smiled a sad FAKE smile.
Heero simply smirked, "Yes, but she is better in bed than you could ever imagine to be." Brodi huffed, her plan backfiring, and walked away. Heero looked in to the eyes of the woman he now shared a bed with. Taking a deep breath, he spoke, "Relena, we should do this later. I love you enough to wait for a while." She smiled and leaned her forehead against his. She kissed him, leaving a soft chaste kiss lingering on his lips before she disappeared into her room. He sighed and leaned on the wall. Running a hand through his mahogany hair he retreated to the comfort of his room.
~At Hilde's Costumes~
"Pick your costumes," Hilde spoke. Duo walked over to a rack of clothes that looked in his size. He rummaged through and found the perfect costume. He held up a Catholic priest’s vestment. Hilde frowned, "Duo there were no priests back then." Duo sighed in defeat and went on about hunting. He yelled when he found one. He held up a monk's habit. Hilde smiled, "Much better Duo." He too smiled.
Now it was Wufei's turn. It didn't take long. There, in the corner, was the armor of a medieval knight. His eyes narrowed as he thought in malicious tone, "Justice." He marched purposefully to the armor and Hilde stopped him, saying something about it being more of a display than a costume. Wufei gave her with a questioning look, "Would you deny a man of Justice? To deny me of this costume is an injustice, and I, as a keeper of justice, will not tolerate such injustice, so you must bow before my superior justice..." As he rambled on, Hilde simply sighed, shook her head in dismay, and walked away to retrieve the costume. Even as she left sight, Wufei continued. She returned and handed it to him. His eyes lit up and he shut up. (Thank Goddess!)
Trowa stood in the corner. At the urging of Cathrine he began to look for a costume. Cathrine was already dressed as a knife thrower. Trowa looked through the racks, landing on a brightly colored jester's costume. The pants puffed at the thighs and there were green suspender-like contraptions seen over a tight black shirt. There was also a half mask of a sad clown. He smiled. "Perfection," he thought.
Quatre looked through the rack, searching for something... perfect. He looked, poked, prodded, and finally he landed on one just what he wanted. It was a squire's costume. He tried it on and looked amazing. Dorothy walked up clad as a stable maid. She strode to him and pecked him on the cheek. He blushed.
Heero looked like he didn't really care. Relena then walked up to him, wearing the gown of a princess. It was red with a black inset to it. It laced up in the front of the corset, pushing her breasts up just enough to make them look rounded and perfect. In her hands she held the outfit of a prince. He greedily took it and threw it on, returning to his princess.
Brodi looked through the racks finding a dress of a peasant girl. She sighed, looking at her friends seeing they all looked like bar maids, she too decided to dress like them too. Finally ready, they all left to experience the fun.
