*********************




After checking if all the articles and columns are ready for the publishing for next month?s edition of Composure Magazine, Relena, Hilde, Catherine and their boss Lady Une descended the stairs together. Lady Une is very excited with Relena?s project and she couldn?t stop babbling about it.

?Ah! Here?s my 10 o?clock.? Lady Une exclaimed while smiling brightly at 2 women.

?Ladies, this is Dorothy Catalonia?..? she said to Relena and her friends while waving a hand at a sunflower haired woman with queer eyebrows. ??..and Iria Winner?? to a blonde with soft curls. ?They?re from Winner Advertising and they?re here so we can cook up some fabulous tie-ends for the fall.? And after that she turned to Relena and her friends to introduce them to the two blondes.


?Hilde Schbeiker, Fashion and Trends?..? that said and Hilde hook hands with the two girls while giving them her most regal smile.

??..Catherine Bloom, Fitness and Health?..? the irony of introducing Catherine with the words ?Fitness and Health? was very bitter since she blew her clogged nose due to her constant wallowing last night and this morning.

??..and Relena Peacecraft, our resident ?How To? girl? Lady Une finished with a very posh smile and a very delicate wave of her hand.


?Oh! I?ve read your column Relena, what are you working on right now?? asked the girl named Dorothy.

?Oh great! Actually?? Relena started, but before she could finish she was interrupted by Lady Une who stepped in front of her and answered for her.

??How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days?, she?s actually going start to date a guy and drive him away in a week and a half.? Lady Une said with a very proud voice and a satisfied smile.

?Sounds needlessly viscous? the girl named Iria said with a smile of approval.

?It?s going to be fabulous? Lady Une said. ?Now all she has to do is find the lucky guy! Go, go, go!? Lady Une added as she shooed Relena and her friends away.

After walking along with her friends with some disbelief at her boss?s actions, she couldn?t help but think of the last words her boss said before they left.

??Find the guy??? Relena repeated as she turned to her friends who only gave her some smile.


******************



?Oh! Relena you are never going to pull this off!? Catherine teased as they walked towards Molen?s Bar to ?find the guy?.


?Watch me! Tonight I?ll hook up with a guy, tomorrow I?ll pull this switch and before the ten days are up, I?m going to have this guy running for his life!? Relena said confidently, as they walked slowly towards the bar, all dressed to kill under the full moon of New York.


?You?re not going to burn his apartment down or bite him or anything, are you?? Hilde added giggling along with her friends.

?no, I?m going to limit myself into doing everything girls to wrong in a relationship? Relena explained. ?Basically everything we know guys hate. I?m going to be clingy, needy??


?be touchy-feely? Hilde added ?oh! Call him in the middle of the night and tell him everything you have to eat that day.? With that both Relena and Hilde burst into laughter.

?What?s wrong with that?? Catherine asked, not joining them with their mirth.

After exclaiming those words, both amused girls stopped in their tracks and stared at their friend in disbelief.

?I?m kidding.? Catherine added, enjoying her friends? shocked looks.


***********************


?So this is your plan Quatre?? Heero asked irritated, while sitting in a table with his friends at Molen?s Bar surrounded by a lot of noisy crowd while waiting for Quatre?s father and sister and Dorothy.


?Well?.basically??yeah? Quatre replied nervously. ?Don?t worry. We?ll help you convince my father that you can handle this Project.?

?Lighten up buddy, you?ll get that pitch? Duo added, before turning his head at a chick with legs that seem to go forever. ?Besides, we?re surrounded by grooving bootilicious!?

?Here you are sir, they?re waiting for you.? Exclaimed a model-looking waitress as she led Quatre?s father and the girls to Heero and his friends? table.

?Hello boys? Quatre?s father greeted as they stood up and shook his hands. ?What are you doing here??

?Sir, we?re here for the meeting.? Heero replied with his monotone.

?But you weren?t invited? Iria answered, looking at his brother dangerously.

?Yeah but he should have been? Duo said, while sitting back on his chair and sipping his tequila sunrise.

?Besides, it was his tip that De Lauer needed a campaign and a new advertising agency.? Quatre said

?Yeah, but I have to think about whose best suited within the company to handle it.? Quatre? father explained.

?Sir that?s me, I want to handle this pitch? Heero answered with all confidence.

?Yuy, you sell Joe Blob better than anyone else in my shop? Quatre?s father replied while taking his seat and gesturing towards the two girls beside him and said ??but this girls sell luxury than anyone else in the business, we have to put our best foot forward Yuy. De Lauer would be our biggest account.?

?Yes sir they would. Annual advertising billing from 50 to 60 million dollars. And Heero is the man that can bring this home to you sir.? Trowa added to help Heero with the best he could.

?Now, sir the diamond industry is always targeting men, sending the message that the woman needs the man to buy her the rock.? Heero said, trying to show off how much he knows about the project and that he is the best person for the job. ?Didn?t they say that a diamond is forever; We say that a diamond is for everyone?


?I like that?? Quatre?s father said but was interrupted by Iria.

?No, we don?t? Iria said, waving a hand in front of her father while receiving a glare from Heero and a pout from Duo. ??A diamond is for everyone?? Since the massage that diamonds are everywhere, which means they?re not rare, and if they?re not rare they loose their status, and status us the reason to buy them in the first place, which Mr. Heero Yuy would know if he understood women, but he don?t.? Iria said, smirking at them.

With the look on Heero Yuy?s face and the rest of the boys, Quatres father couldn?t help but chuckle and say ?you can?t feel bad about that Yuy, no man does.?

?Here you go? the bartender said as she handed Catherine her ordered drinks for herself and her 2 friends.


?oh, thanks? Catherine smiled brightly and picked two of the drinks up and handed Hilde and Relena one each before reaching back and pick up her own drink.

?Dum, dum, dum, dum? Hilde teased as she took her glass from Catherine and turned to Relena.

?Don?t pressure her, she?s perusing? Catherine defended and smiled encouragingly at Relena.

And so they started their search for the unfortunate soul?..


****************


?Selling a diamond to a girl is like making her fall in love.? Dorothy said as she seductively traced the valley of her breast, where a diamond necklace hung. Obvious of the fact that Quatre, who is sitting beside her, is eyeing the path that her fingers just passed. ?She has to feel giddy, desirous, adventurous and desperate.? She finished while looking a Quatre flirtatiously.


Seeing he?s friend?s reaction, Duo immediately nudge Quatre to snap his friend?s trance.

?Take a look around this room father, most of the woman in this bar, feels exactly just that? Iria added.

?Exactly!? Duo butted in. ?the skills required to market diamonds are those to make a woman fall in love!?

?I?m not talking about a woman in lust, gentlemen.? Iria said. ?A woman in lust wanted sex; a woman in love wants diamond?

?We?re not talking about lust either, Ms. Winner; we?re talking about deep, meaningful, head-over-heels, his-and-hers, lets-grow-old-together, L-O-V-E.? Trowa said with a smirk.

?Heero loves women? Duo added sheepishly. ?He really do, whether their four or forty, even his 80 year old grandmother. He really do. He respects women and he also listens?to women. And that?s why he can sell himself to any woman, anytime, anywhere.?

However, the words coming out from Duo Maxwell was not heard by Heero Yuy as he mentally thought of a number of ways on how to murder the braided guy.

But Heero Yuy is not the only person who was not paying much attention to Duo Maxwell?s babble. Iria Winner?s thoughts were elsewhere. As her attention was caught by a blonde girl dressed in a grey backless dress, who was laughing with her friends?a red head and a brunette. And then with such joyful recognition, the idea hit her.

?Make women fall in love with Mr. Yuy or with Diamond?? Iria asked, as an idea formulated inside Iria?s head.

?Uh?..either one.? Quatre said.


?Ah! That?s cocky boys.? Mr. Winner teased.


?No, not cocky. Confident? Trowa answered.
With those exchange of words, Heero Yuy was about to stand up and beat them up, but he was stopped by the look in his friends? eyes. All telling him to just play along.


?I?d like to see you prove that.? Iria said, now addressing Heero himself.

?You would?? Heero asked dumbly, taken aback by the statement.

?The agency is co-hosting a party for the De Lauers at the Astral Museum; the party is a week from Sunday. Do you think you could make a woman fall in love with you by then?? Iria challenged.

?10 days?? Wufei asked. Interested by the sudden change of topic and by the look of utter outrage in Heero Yuy?s face.

?any woman, any place, any time? Dorothy taunted.


?Any single, available, straight woman. Yes? Duo clarified, enjoying his time in taunting Heero who can?t hurt them publicly, especially in front of his boss.

?Good.? Iria smiled, as all of it is going according to her plan. ?I?m not trying to trick you Yuy. In fact, we?ll choose a woman right here. In the spot. And then you decide.? She said looking around the room.

And with that, Heero Yuy was, for once in his life, was speechless. And just followed his friends as they turned their chairs and started hunting for the girl that?s going to fall in love with him in 10 days.
