Chapter 3 ~ Questing They a’ Go

The girls and Duo gathered in the entry ready to continue their quest.

Duo had shown up while they ate breakfast and had helped himself to the food on the table. He piled his plate full with a bit of everything before plopping down beside Hilde and giving her a greeting peck on the cheek.

"I just talked to Trowa," Catherine said joining the group. "He is waiting for Quatre, but they will not leave until after they help us," she smirked.

"Great, two at once," Dorothy evilly cackled rubbing her hands together.

The group settled into Relena’s limousine to head where Trowa and Quatre would be found.

Trowa and Quatre were sitting on the steps of Trowa and Catherine’s trailer when they arrived.

"What do you need our help with?" Quatre asked curiously.

"We are on a quest," said Catherine.

Puzzled looks crossed both boys’ faces, and when they saw Duo’s mischievous grin they exchanged worried glances.

"It’s nothing bad," Duo assured. "Actually quite pleasant."

"Duo helped us last night," Hilde offered with a happy smile. "Now we would like you two to help us do a little research."

"What do we have to do?" asked Trowa.

"You have to kiss each of us," explained Relena.

"Except Hilde," threw in Duo as he placed a protective arm around her slim waist.

"Right, except Hilde."

"Why?" asked Quatre.

Obviously their curiosity was peeked.

"Each of us are trying to experience a foot popping kiss," Catherine explained.

The girls gave their two new guineapigs the procedure they had decided on and why they were doing this.

"No offence, Trowa, but I am not going to kiss you. It would be too weird," Catherine clarified.

He nodded understandingly.

"So, where do we begin?" asked Quatre.

The girls decided Dorothy would start with Quatre then move to Trowa.

The longhaired blond stepped up to Quatre to receive her kiss. Quatre shuffled nervously blushing at first and struggled with where to place his hands. Dorothy grabbed Quatre’s hands and placed them around her waist. She slipped her own hands to rest on the back of his neck. Quatre kissed Dorothy.

There was no foot pop by the time they stepped away.

"Sorry, Blondie, it was nice, but just didn’t do it for me," Dorothy smiled.

Quatre blushed more and murmured his regrets.

Dorothy turned to Trowa.

"Your turn," she announced stepping to Trowa.

The tall silent man leaned over touching his lips to hers with hands clasp behind his back. Those watching suspected it would fail from the start, but as they watched Dorothy’s hands encircled Trowa’s neck pulling him closer and Trowa’s hands snaked from behind his back to enfold her. Their kiss deepened, and Dorothy’s foot popped to everyone’s amazement.

The kissers pulled away breathless and stunned as they looked into each other’s eyes.

"Next," called Duo breaking the euphoria around Trowa and Dorothy.

Dorothy turned hesitantly and joined the group of waiting girls who congratulated her warmly.

Sally went next. First she kissed Quatre then Trowa. Neither produced the pop, but those in the group were not surprised. They were holding out for Wufei to have the desired effect on the Preventer agent.

They both gave Relena very pleasant kisses but failed to produce the goal of the task. Relena smiled at each sweetly and thanked them for their help.

Catherine went last. She stood before Quatre for her kiss. He smiled at her, and she found herself wanting to melt with just his smile. She forced herself to stand strait and waited.

A set of soft lips touched hers. Gently they stroked hers sending chills down her spine. She found she was wholeheartedly responding to his touch and wanting more. There seemed to be a hunger develop in each of them as they deepened the kiss and pulled the other so close that daylight could not be seen between them. That is when her foot popped.

Catherine collapsed against Quatre once the kiss ended. He smilingly caught her.

"Would you like to go out?" he whispered in her ear.

"Oh, yes," she replied blissfully before the others pulled her attention back to the task at hand.

She reluctantly left Quatre’s embrace.

Trowa watched them intently, and she ruffled his hair playfully.

"Don’t hurt him," she told Trowa. "I think I want to play with him later," she winked.

Trowa only shook his head and rolled his eyes at Catherine’s comment.

The group thanked Quatre and Trowa for their assistance and set off to find their next participant/victim … Wufei.
