Heero POV
"Now, " J said as he gave back the rings. " We'll have to get you two to Kentucky asap."
"Before he brings in his new stock to show off to the ladies that will be there you mean." G butted in.
"Hn." (Heero obviously).
"Just remember that you need to focus on her to communicate your thoughts to her." J continued. 'Like that will be difficult.' He still had dreams about the last time he was close to her. ' It was one year ago wasn't it?
flash back
" I will not kill anyone ever again I ... I don't have to anymore..."
"Ah! Heero!!!"
I Passed out, and when I woke, she was still there, holding me. I looked up and she was asleep, still holding me to her. I didn't want to wake her so I just lay there, with my head going crazy trying to figure out what to do, while my heart,...'
Heero shook his head and tried to pay attention to J. It's no use to relive the past.
" Uh, question? Where do I come in?" Duo wondered as J finished with Heero.
" You will accompany Heero to the ranch and help him out if he needs it." Doc G replied.
"In other words the buddy system?"
"Correct."
"Let's get you to the stock area Heero. Duo, you will keep in touch with Heero at all times. To keep in contact with us I gave you a transmitter in a special flea collar just for you." J told them both as they got out of the shuttle.
" And how do we keep in touch?"
"Like we told you in the begining, didn't we?" Doc S questioned the others.
"Probably not." was the reply.
"Any way, you focus on eachother just like if you wanted to "speak" to Relena."
"Try it if you want to" G practically dared Duo.
"Can we ol' Buddy?" Duo asked sweetly.
"No." Heero replied in just the opposite manner.

At the ranch...
"Ah, Ms. Relena! Welcome to my home away from home!"
"Good afternoon Mr. Graham." Relena replied in almost the same manner. She was actually feeling like she shouldn't be here. 'Oh, goody, he's trying the friendly brother approach.'
"Please, Xander. Relena I do believe you know Dorthy?"
"Ms. Relena. So great of you to relax and take a break"
"Hello again Dorthy." Relena could tell that the unspoken words were "for once".
"Well, now that you're here let's begin the festivities!" Xander exclaimed whole heartedly. "Let's get to enjoying this week of freedom!"
Trowa and Wufei: yipee.
