Author's Note: Uh, not much to say. This is the party, it's 2:30 am, so I don't know how long this ch will be. The first part is Relena and Usa coming to the party, then the rest is the guys take on her, and their inner thoughts.  '.....' = thoughts. Each persons view will show up in brackets ::i.e:: [Heero] = Heero's inner thoughts on her. Shounen-Ai implications. So, enjoy! ^_^

Relena got out of the limo and then helped Usagi out. She had a little trouble, this being her first time inside a limo. Relena giggled as Usagi struggled to get out of the car without stepping on her dress. Usagi finally got out of the car and stopped to smooth out the wrinkles in her dress. Her dress was a somewhat long, it came to just above her ankles. It was cut low in the back, and the front came down low enough to show just a glimpse of cleavage. She didn't want something too revealing. The dress was made of fine silk and clung lightly to the curves of her body. The dress was silver with white trimming. Moons and stars, made of soft white satin adorned her dress. She wore a silver crescent moon necklace and star earrings. She had her hair done in a french braid, then put atop her head like a crown. She had small strands of hair that came down and framed her face and neck. She had a small amount of makeup on, enough to enhance her angelic features. She wore silver one inch heels that laced halfway up her calf, the way ballet slippers would. [an: you can tell I love to describe ^^]

She looked over at Relena who smiled and nodded. Relena wore a slimming black velvet evening gown. Not usually her color, but Usagi insisted that it was made just for her. So to please her new friend, she wore it. It came down to her ankles. The spaghetti straps laid gently against her soft toned skin. The dress wasn't as low cut as Usagi's, but just enough. She wore black high heel pumps to match the ensemble. She wore no jewelry, and had her hair tied back in it's usual fashion.

The two girls walked up to the mansion and walked inside. They were then greeted by one of Quatre's butlers and then led to the ballroom. Relena walked in first, then Usagi. Usagi gasped at it's capacity. Never has she seen a room this big before. She immediately felt like an ant. Relena turned around and gave her a reassuring smile, then they both walked over to where Quatre and the rest of the guys were standing. Near the food table.

Relena walked up and gave Quatre a hug and said hi and nodded to the rest of the guys, who responded in the same fashion. She turned around and grabbed Usagi's hand and pulled her up beside her.

"Everyone, this is Usagi, she's new here, I thought it would be a good idea to bring her" Relena said with a proud smile.

"H..Hi everyone. It is a pleasure to meet you all" Usagi said as she bowed.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well Usagi" Quatre said, as he too bowed.

Usagi smiled at Quatre's guesture. She felt something familiar about him. The way he stood and bowed. Something oddly familiar. She shook the feeling away, she promised herself to try to have a good time.

"Well, I guess I should introduce you to the rest of my friends" Quatre said as he walked towards Duo.

"This is Duo ... Duo, put the food down and say hi" Quatre said sternly.

Duo shoved the last of the sandwich in his mouth, grinned and said something that sounded like "hey there"

Usagi giggled softly and turned her attention to the boy in the green turtleneck.

"This is Trowa, he's a very good friend of mine" He said as he smiled at Trowa.

Trowa smiled back, and turned his attention to Usagi. He bowed "It's a pleasure Miss"

Usagi smiled and bowed in return. Then looked over to Quatre as he headed to the next boy.

"This is Heero, he's umm .... quiet to say the least" Quatre leaned in towards Heero and whispered "Please say something ...nice"

Heero nodded and bowed ever so slightly and then turned his attention to Duo, who was yet again, pigging out on the sandwiches.

Usagi smiled and walked with Quatre to the last of his friends. She looked up and met his coal black eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. She smiled softly and brought her hand out to shake his.

"Hn, I will not shake the hand of some weak onna" He said as he turned around to watch the orchestra.

Quatre looked back to Usagi to see her face sadden. He immediately felt her sadness. He walked over to her.

"Don't worry, Wufei is always like that, except Relena, but only because she's royalty" Quatre said.

"Oh don't worry about it Quatre, it didn't bother me, I've been called worse things" She said, the last part a little quietly.

Quatre wondered what she meant by that, but decided not to inquire about it. Quatre walked with Usagi over to where Relena was. Bugging Heero of course. He didn't look the least bit thrilled. He kept his watch on Duo, who was still eating. Usagi smiled at that. 'Reminds me of myself' she laughed inwardly.

[Duo]

He looked up to see Usagi looking at him. He hurriedly shoved the food in his mouth and waved with his free hand. She smiled and waved back. He grabbed another sandwich and made his way over to her. He seen the way Wufei treated her, and felt kinda bad. She was new and all. She didn't need to be treated like that her first time here. He also thought it was nice of Relena to bring her. As much as he hated to admit she was being nice.

"Hiya, want a sandwich?" He said as he held the sandwich in his hand.

"No, that's okay, but thank you for the offer" She said politely.

He smiled and nodded. Then put the whole sandwich in his mouth. That made her giggle some. Just what he wanted. A happy face.

"Don't worry bout ole Wu-man, he's always like that" Duo said as he wiped his mouth with the napkin.

"Why is that?" Usagi asked.

Duo facefalted "You know, I have no clue, I never really thought to ask ... I'll have to remember that one for later" He said with an evil grin on his face.

Usagi giggled at the childish look on his face, evil yet innocent at the same time. She took this opportunity to look him over. He was dressed in a nice black shirt and black jeans. He had his chestnut brown hair in a french braid that cascaded down his back. It was almost as long as her own. She noticed the beautiful gold cross that was around his neck. It stood out boldly against the black shirt. She was interested, but decided not to ask.

Duo glanced over at her, then quickly back at the crowd.

'Dude, she's checkin me out. Not that I blame her, I am a handsome devil'  He thought with a smirk.

He looked over at her again, but this time she noticed and quickly looked away and blushed slightly. He chuckled. She looked so kawaii. He looked over at Heero, who was being nagged by Relena. He looked like he wanted to run screaming mad. Duo smiled at that, it was a priceless look.

"You like him, don't you Duo" Usagi asked quietly, now by his side.

"Heh, yea. ... wha.. huh?" He said as he did a double take.

"You heard me" She smiled.

"Heh, yea, you caught me" Duo said, blushing just a little.

"Does he know, about how you feel?" She asked quietly.

"Yea, he knows. And I know how he feels" Duo said softly.

"Does he feel the same as you do about him?" Usagi asked.

"Yea, he doesn't show it much in front of people, but he will occasionally in front of the guys. Nothing much, you know, like maybe holding hands or something" Duo said looking at Usagi.

"You sound as if you wish it were more" She said she stood on her toes to get a better look at Heero.

"Yea, sometimes I wish it were, but I'm content with what I have. And it's enough" Duo said as he smiled.

"That's good. As long as you both know, then nothing should come between you two" She said happily.

"Well, maybe except *that*" He said, pointing to Relena, who had her arm entwined in Heero's.

"Does she know, how he feels about you" She asked, a little confused.

"Yea, we've told her, hell, even kissed in front of her, but it's like she ignores it" He said softly.

"She's just blind to the truth. She'll see it someday, and then she will understand" She said confidently.

Duo smiled "You sure seem to know alot Usagi-chan"

She smiled at the suffix he gave her. It showed he trusted her.

'Man, I just said Usagi-chan, I hope she doesn't think it meant anything. I really hope she's not mad by that. It's just that she seems like such a good friend. And I've already confided in her'  He thought inwardly.

"Usagi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay, all my friends call me Usagi-chan or Usa-chan. And I consider you my friend, I consider all of you my friends. I may not know all of you yet, but that's why I'm here. To make new friends. So don't be upset. Okay Duo-chan?" She said happily.

"Okie dokie Usagi-chan"

[Heero]

'Hn, look at the way they're babbling. You'd think he'd find something better to do, like find a way to get Relena AWAY FROM ME!'  He shouted inwardly.

He ignored Relena and kept watching them. They walked all around the food table. Duo kept taking pieces of everything as the girl talked.

'She seems to talk alot. She's just like him. I hope just not as stupid. Look at the way they're giggling. Just like a bunch of little school kids. Baka'  He thought

He knew Duo wasn't stupid, well, not as much as he pretended to be. He had seemed to take to the blonde rather quickly. Which of course made him jealous. But why should he be jealous, he seen the way they both looked at him. Obviously they were discussing him.

'Wait a minute, that means he might have told her! Damn that braided baka! She does look trusting though'  He thought

He looked back at the two 'Well, he does seem to trust her. And Duo isn't too keen on trusting people right away. And she did look sad. Maybe he's just trying to cheer her up. Well, I guess I could let it slide if he did tell her, he'll just pay for it later' He thought with a smirk

"Heerooo! Are you even listening to me?" Relena asked, slightly annoyed.

"Yes, Relena, pacifism good, Duo, Usagi, yes, I heard" He said in his monotone voice.

"Don't they just make a kawaii couple! I think they do" Relena smiled brightly.

'Oh God, please tell me she is not going to set her up with my Duo'  He prayed silently.

"I think they should hook up, don't you He-chan" She said as she leeched herself to his arm.

"Maybe you should let her do what she wants, if she wants advice or help, I'm sure she'll ask, she looks like a smart girl" Heero said, prying her arm off of his.

"Yea, I guess your right, let nature takes it's course then" She said happily.

'Great, now your defending the girl. Well, maybe it was worth it, it's bad enough she's *living* with Relena'  He thought

Relena reluctantly got Heero to dance with her, much to his dismay. He would rather be dancing with Duo right now. He looked over to him and seen him watching. Heero rolled his eyes at Relena, reassuring him the dance met nothing. Duo immediately perked up and smiled back. Heero's heart fluttered a bit. Then Duo turned back to Usagi and began chatting away again.

'Well, at least he's not eating as much'  He smirked.
