Pairing: Quatre Winner and Dorothy Catalonia (Rivalry)
Rating: R
Warnings: Humor, some OOC, silliness, pranks and revenge.
6. Pushing forty
Quatre was certain that he had given specific instructions to the security staff in WEI not to receive any packages directed to him without his authorization. Furthermore, he was sure that he had told his secretary, repeatedly, not to drop anything into his office unless he had requested it. However, his employees seemed to think that it was better not to be rude to Miss Catalonia than to follow orders.
This resulted in Quatre walking into his office Monday morning just to find a card on the door signed by Dorothy with the words "three to four", and almost forty ducks quacking inside. And now, Quatre had to replace the documents on his desk, clean the furniture and carpeting, find a new office while they thought of a way to make the smell go away, and figure out how to get the damn ducks out of the building.
7. Two-part harmony
They saw each other from across the room at a benefit dance, their eyes met and polite and challenging smiles appeared on their faces. A few songs later, Quatre approached her and asked for a dance; she took his hand and followed him to the dance floor. They danced flawlessly, as if they had been dancing their whole lives together; the crowd even parted so they were the only ones in the dance floor, moving swiftly with the music.
When the song ended, Quatre walked Dorothy to her table, leaned forward to give her a small kiss on the cheek, and whispered, "It's childish, I know, but I couldn't let this opportunity pass."
Minutes later, while checking herself on the bathroom mirror, Dorothy noticed the bright pink piece of chewing gum on her hair.
8. Almost too late
Some days, Quatre liked to spend his lunch hour on the edge of the thick woods on the outskirts of town, and take a small walk before going back to the office. He was about to eat his sandwich when he heard a cry for help; his instincts took over and he climbed further into the woods, pushing himself and ignoring his sore muscles and the small cuts the tree branches were making on his face and arms.
When he saw a man, lying face down on the floor, Quatre was afraid that he had been too late, but as he got closer, he noticed that the figure on the ground was nothing but a doll, with a recorder that repeated the distress call, over and over again.
By the time Quatre finally returned to the office, he was dirty, sore, covered in small cuts, in a very sour mood and late for his 3 pm meeting. There was a message from Dorothy waiting on the vid phone but Quatre didn't bother to play it.
9. Total eclipse
Dorothy glared at the vid screen as she saw herself – or more exactly, a very good digital fake video of herself – wearing a long pink dress, flowers in her hair and a dreamy expression as she sang a song she had never heard before in her whole life.
"And that was the remake of the pre-colony song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" performed by Dorothy Catalonia, and dedicated to the famous billionaire Quatre Winner." The DJ, a redheaded girl wearing pigtails, chuckled. "She is not the only gal on the Earth and the colonies with a crush on the young CEO but she's certainly the only one willing to make such a fool of herself to prove it. Meanwhile, in a statement issued by Mr. Winner himself, he declares that while he's flattered, he sees Dorothy only as a friend, and he wishes that in time she can come to terms with her infatuation with him."
10. Morning dip
Like any other Saturday morning, Quatre put on his bathing suit and went to the pool to swim a few laps; when he was done, he headed upstairs to take a shower… and froze when he saw his reflection on the mirror. Having a very good idea of what had happened, Quatre checked his mail, and as suspected, found a message from Dorothy.
"Quatre, dear, I figured that since you were nice enough to help me with my hair style, I would return the favor; I hear blue hair is in this year."
After deciding that cleaning the pool could wait, Quatre picked up the phone and dialed a number. He knew that what he was about to do would earn him years of teasing but if there was someone who would know how to get his hair, eyelashes and eyebrows back to normal, it would be Duo.

I wanted them dancing to sound like a fairy tale, when it's perfect, and somehow they know they steps...
Awww...Poor Quatre. Still, I don't think he would think twice before running to another rescue. He's so sweet like that.

#9 - Gods, I remember that song!!! oops, am I dating myself?
