Quatre: Since Pern is somewhat out of commission, I'm
doing the introduction this time.
::from the kitchen:: I'm only getting breakfast,
geeze. You make it sound like I'm in the hospital
with a terminal illness. ::Quatre winces::
Quatre: Anyway here is the next part of Video Boys.
It's a stunning piece of artistry in which Duo and I,
myself being the more intellegent and handsome
of.....mmmmm.....
Pern: Quatre, quit or else I won't let you be on top.
Got it. ::narrows eyes:: And you're darn lucky Duo
is still asleep and didn't hear that comment.
::Quatre sweatdrops::
Quatre squeaking: Here's part 5. OW! Pern!
Warning: slight OOC and mild yaoi (eventually)

"This must be the place." Duo said confidently. "Oi, Quatre what's the address say?"
Quatre looked from the piece of paper in his hand to the numbers on the side of the building.
"Yep, this is it."
"Good. Now, all we have to do is find out more about Relena and Dorothy. Then we can relay it to Heero and Trowa."
"It should help both of them with their missions and us with ours." Quatre took out photos of both Relena and Dorothy that he and Duo had printed out. They'd used the computers to download information regarding the two girls, but had decided that they needed some that was more pertinent to their assignment. So they had come to the school, during lunch, to find out more about them.
"Okay, now I think I see Relena and I bet that one with the long blond hair and funny eyebrows is Dorothy hanging out with some other girls." Duo said glancing at the picture, then up to the group of girls. "Now, remember our cover stories. We're doing articles about what girls like for a teen magazine."
"Right." Quatre replied. He pulled out two small notepads and pens from his back pocket. Handing one set to Duo, they confidently strode over to the girls.
The girls were immediately charmed by the two boys and happily accepted their requests for interviews. As the girls rattled off their likes and dislikes to both Duo and Quatre, Heero and Trowa came around the corner. Glancing up, they wondered what the entire hubbub was about. By that point a large group of excited schoolgirls had surrounded the Video Boys and the brothers completely missed them.
Eventually Duo managed to single Relena out and lead her off to a more private area to continue his interview.
"Now, let's see. I don't seem to have your favorite color down."
"It's pink." Relena said. She smiled at Duo, recognizing him as the person with Heero last night in the fast food restaurant. "Although, I also like white and green. Not many people know I like green. You see my mother adores the color pink and insists that every proper young lady should like it too. So most of my wardrobe is pink. I don't mind, but I'd like to see some other colors too. Maybe a green or blue shirt here and there. Oh, I like blue too."
"Check." Duo said scribbling furiously on his pad. He'd filled up most of it with frivolous chatter from the other girls. He hoped he had enough room for Relena. "How about favorite flower?" Relena thought about it for a moment.
"Lilies or maybe carnations."
"What, no roses? Come on, every girl likes roses." Relena shook her head.
"Roses are overrated. Romantic, but if you don't have anyone then they don't mean anything."
"You mean to tell me a cute girl like you doesn't have anyone?" Relena shook her head again.
"No." She leaned against the wall of the school. "There is this guy I sort of like, but he doesn't seem to like me at all. All he does is stare with those cold blue eyes." Relena pushed herself off the wall. "That's okay." She smiled. "I'll get by." Somehow Duo didn't quite believe her. Just as he was about to say something to that effect, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Hello Heero." Relena said smiling warmly. Duo cringed.
"Relena." Heero's fingers squeezed tighter. Duo quickly spun around.
"Hello!" he said brightly hoping that Heero didn't detect his sudden nervousness. "I'm a.ACK!" Heero grabbed Duo and began marching him towards the entrance. "Oi, Heero! You're ruining my information gathering mission." Duo hissed. Relena followed.
"Heero, isn't that your friend from last night. It looks like you're hurting him." Heero didn't answer. "I don't think he's happy about me doing my interviews at his school, Ojosan." Duo squeaked as Heero hauled him out of the gates. Relena sighed and went back to her friends. Once outside of the gates, Heero released Duo.
"I thought I told you to stay home." He growled.
"No, you said I could do as I pleased." Duo retorted feeling the first flushes of anger creeping into his body. "I was attempting to get information that is necessary for you to get a date with Relena. You didn't have to throw me out. I would have left once I'd got what I'd come for."
"Go home."
"No. I'm not done."
"You are now." Heero snarled and stormed back inside the schoolyard. Duo stuck his tongue out, as he couldn't think of anything better at the time. "BAKA."
Somehow Quatre had managed to separate himself and Dorothy away from the remaining pack of girls. Once alone she was more than willing to talk to him.
"My favorite colors are purple, blue, and red."
Dorothy stated, twirling around dramatically so that her skirt billowed out around her. "My favorite food is anything I don't have to cook. My favorite movie is 'Unforgiven'. My favorite flower is the red rose."
Quatre wrote quickly to keep up with her.
"What are you looking for in a man?" he asked. She looked at him with piercing ice blue eyes.
"What am I looking for. Well, he'd have to be strong, a fighter, quiet, and.." She paused as she thought of what else. Quatre waited patiently as she mulled it over in her head. "Independent. He definitely needs to be independent. He should be like Relena-sama. If I could find a man like her I'd be happy."
"A man with Relena's characteristics?" Quatre asked making sure he'd heard her right. Dorothy nodded.
"Relena-sama is one of the finest people I know. She is very noble. Ah! He must be noble too."
"I see." Quatre dutifully took notes. Suddenly he felt as if he were being watched. Half expecting Duo, he instead found Trowa approaching him. He swallowed hard. Forcing a smile on his face, Quatre greeted him.
"Hello." Trowa didn't answer, he simply glared.
"Hello Trowa." Dorothy said with a small smile. "I was just giving an interview to this young man. I'm done." She turned back to Quatre. "If you need anything else. Here is my number and you can call me." She scribbled down her personal phone number and left. Trowa continued to glare.
"Anou, Trowa. I can explain." Trowa grabbed a hold of his arm and dragged Quatre off the school property. Setting him outside the gate he told Quatre to go home.
"But I was only trying to help you. You need to know the girl you're going to woo. You need to know what she's like." Quatre said plaintively.
"Please go home. We can talk later.
"But Trowa." Trowa turned and went back inside.
"You struck out too, ne?" Duo asked. Quatre glanced over his shoulder and noticed him leaning against the outer wall of the school.
"Looks that way."
"Yeah, Heero was pretty upset with me. I'm probably going to bruise. He's got a good grip."
"We might as well go home." Quatre said. Duo nodded and they slowly made their way back.
