Somebody turns on the radio…

(Heero gets in the car and tunes up. Drives and starts singing.)


Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this





(Looks out at the traffic forming and starts to slow down and pull up.)


Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places





(Heero sighs and rests his elbow on the window ledge.)




~~~


(Duo walks out of a store and puts his hands on his jeans pocket.)


I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need to you say it's alright





(He looks up at the sky and shrugs. Smiles at a friend who walks past him, then jogs to meet Hilde.)




~~~


(Zechs comes out of the mansion, his hands in his coat pocket.)


I might need you to make the first stand




(He sighs and smirks.)


Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man.





(He looks at his free hand and bites his lip.)




~~~


(Wufei takes off his coat and throws it on an empty chair. He collapses onto his bed and spreads out his arms in exasperation. He has that feeling that he just couldn't put together.)


Hey
More than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud





(He fumes then shifts in his bed and stretches. He then gives his pillow a very hard punch.)


Well
I want to scream
But the bitterness has silenced these emotions





(He turns his back, faces the wall as he burrowed in his pillow.)




~~~


(Quatre dumps his books on his bed and slouches. He was feeling awfully tired because of all the lessons and training he has to take as the Winner heir.)


It's getting hard to breathe




(He pauses, then turns to look at a photo by his bedside of him and his family, and the other one…A picture of him, Dorothy, Relena, and Sophia Robinda.)


So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a gold diamond ring?







~~~


(Trowa dumps his costume in the large wooden chest then plops down on a chair. He stares at his image on the mirror, the clown mask on the right half of his face.)


I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart




(He runs his fingers on the mask and closes his eyes.)


I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees




(He opens his eyes and stares again. He takes off the mask, first hesitantly, but he puts it down anyway. He looks down and his hands clenches into fists. Cathrine walks in his room and strokes his short brown hair as soon as she noticed that he was a little down.)


Not looking for a miracle
Just reason to believe







~~~


(Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, and Zechs all looks up at the sky and takes a deep breath. Heero was thinking of Relena; Duo of Hilde; Trowa of Cathrine; Quatre of his friends, specially Dorothy; Wufei of Meiran and Sally, and; Zechs of Noin.)



Heero: I might need you to hold me tonight
Duo: I might need you to say it's alright
Trowa: I might need you to take the first stand
Wufei: Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man




~~~


(Zechs sighs as he enters his room. It was a long day being alone. He smiles as he sees Noin sleeping on his bed. She was waiting for him and eventually falls asleep. He sits by her side and touches her shoulder.)


Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the nighttime




(He smiles as memories of the war years and her, helping him through it all, flashes in his mind. He reaches out to stroke her face and her short dark hair.)


Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist


(She starts to open her eyes slowly and smiles as she sees him. She sits up and touches his face, kissing him lightly on the cheek. He closes his eyes and wraps his arms around her waist.)


We just run through our lives
So alone
That's why you've got to hold me





~~~


(Duo meets up with Hilde in the parking lot and she was already inside, sitting impatiently. He throws a paper bag towards her and she catches it in time. He gets in the car and starts the engine. He looks at Hilde.)


Hey
If we can't find a way out of this problem
Then maybe we don't need this




(She grins and pats his shoulder. He grins back. He looks out on the road, lighted with lamp posts.)




~~~


(Heero throws his jacket on the bed and gets in the bathroom. He looks in the mirror and smirks. He glanced at a small portrait placed beside the bathroom clock. Relena…)


Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defenses





(He walks out of the bathroom and lies on the bed. He rests his arms behind his back and looks at the ceiling.)


And secret hiding places







~~~



I might need you to hold me tonight…




(Cathrine wraps her arms around Trowa's neck, then rubs his back, as he sobs. Trowa holds Cathrine tight and slowly drifts asleep as she murmurs soothing phrases to him.)


I might need you to say it's alright…


(Heero looks at the picture of Relena he is holding. He then tucks it beneath his pillow, closes the lights and starts to sleep.)


I might need you to take the first stand…


(Wufei rubs his knuckles as he thinks of Sally. He quivers when somebody touch his shoulder. He looks up and sees Sally looking and smiling at him. He shifts and faces her, burying his face on her lap, surprising her all of a sudden at his actions.)


Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man


(Zechs lies down the bed with Noin and rests his head on her chest. She embraces him, while her free hand stokes his long hair. She reaches out to the night lamp and turns it off as they drift off to sleep together.)
