Ha! You thought I was done didn't you?
Duo: Pern, we're trying to uh.....well....::blush::
Heero: We're busy don't bother us.
Pern: To bad! ::turns on lights and pulls covers off bed.:: Wahoo! Free show!
Duo: HEY! ::hides behind Heero::
Heero: RRRrrrrrr. ::grabs pillow to cover himself:: Omae o korosu.
Pern: The more you say it, the more years I get to live.
Heero: >.< ::blink::
Duo: HUh?
Pern: Don't ask. Just accept. Now, on to the epilogue!
Duo to Heero: I wish she'd go pester Trowa and Quatre.
Pern: I already got them. They now have a cold water bed. ^_^ ::walks away swinging an empty pail::
Warning: You should know them by now.. ^_~

Several weeks later, Heero, Duo, Trowa and Quatre were walking down the street. They passed the building that used to be OZ Video Rentals, but the video store had moved. After that night, Noin and Wufei had quit OZ Video Rentals. They had stalked off together to commiserate about their ex-lovers. Treize and Zechs had decided leaving town was in their best interest and packed up shop. Rumor was that they'd moved to Seattle to operate a Starbucks. Of course the rainy weather would play havoc with Zechs' hair, but it was far enough from Noin that he didn't care. Wufei and Noin weren't letting them off that easy and were planning on visiting the city and spray painting 6X13 all over the place. Wufei was stocking up on spray paint.
The boys continued on their way past were the scientists had held their offices. Dorothy had learned from some little blond bird what the scientists had planned for her and Relena. She'd then informed Relena and the two asked their fathers to have the scientists shipped off to Antarctica to study penguins and seals. They'd shipped out a week and a half ago and reportedly were getting laughed at by the penguins.
They waited at the corner for the light, then crossed the street. Duo was draped on Heero with Trowa and Quatre walking hand in hand next to them. A few blocks down a new video store had opened up. It had a friendly atmosphere and a great selection, but the four avoided the "how to" section. The owners were friendly, for the most part and they liked the repeat business.
"Well, back so soon?" asked Noin looking up from the counter. Above the register a sign read, "Nine to Five Video Rentals, for all of you who work from nine to five and want something to do afterwards".
"Yep." Said Duo setting the video down in front of her. "We're going away for the weekend, so we thought we should return it before we left."
"Oh, where are you going?"
"That's confidential." Heero said. Noin nodded and moved to put the video in its proper place. Wufei came out of the back room with a box of new releases. He looked up and nodded when he saw them.
"Good afternoon. How are you?"
"Fine, thank you." Quatre replied. "How is business?"
Noin and Wufei looked at each other and smiled.
"Great. You know, things have been better since we ditched Treize and Zechs. Right dragon?" Noin purred.
Wufei smiled wider.
"Yes, M' lady." Wufei let his hand stray to Noin's leg. She swatted it away.
"Not now, we have customers."
"No."
"Dragon."
"Hai?"
"Later."
"Fine." Wufei sulked then looked up to meet Noin's eyes. She winked and Wufei felt immediately better.
"We'd like to check this one out." A familiar voice said. Trowa turned around and saw Dorothy and Relena standing together holding a video. They were dressed in casual clothes and were standing so close that they touched. Trowa smiled knowingly and Dorothy flashed him a winning smile. She was glad she'd taken his advice and had just told Relena how she felt.
"Sure thing." Noin said.
"Do you have a card with this club?" asked Wufei. They shook their heads. "Then I'll need you to read and sign all these forms." He ducked underneath the counter and pulled out a stack of forms at least a foot thick. Dorothy and Relena paled.
"Wufei! Don't be a brat. Don't worry, those are not the forms you need to fill out." Noin told them. They breathed a sigh of relief. Noin reached under and pulled out another stack. "You need to fill these ones out. In triplicate." She set the twenty forms down in front of them.
"Just think of it this way." Duo said. "You only have to fill them out once."
Everyone rolled their eyes and Dorothy picked up a pen.
