            Foxy blinked at the sudden harsh light and stared at the ceiling above her. Panic crossed her face as she slowly sat up, “Please let it have been a bad dream. Please let it have been a bad dream. Please!” She stared down at her clothes and moaned, “So not fair! That firefly is never gonna let me hear the end of this!” She stood up, raising one hand to remove the white hood that went with the outfit and fluffed up her coppery orange hair and sighed. “I gotta find Wuffie and the others…” She yawned and rubbed her eyes and yelped. Her eyes snapped open and she looked around, “Where are they?!”
             “Sister, the doctor’s here.” The priest came in and Foxy looked over his shoulder and her eyes widened as she spotted the man behind him.
             She giggled and fluttered her eyelashes at him, “Why hello handsome!” Foxy winked, “You could examine me any day, Mr…” She hesitated and saw the priest flush a deep red and whisper something about delusions in the doctor’s ear before leaving the room.
             “Doctor Millardo.” He smiled slightly as he put down his black bag and opened it. “But friends call me Zechs.”
             “Well, Zechs,” She grinned at him, wondering how a person could be born with such whitish blond hair… “You can call me Foxy… Oh and tell that dear priest that I QUIT!” She threw her arms around him, “Swear off men when there’s a hunk like you around?! I don’t think so!” Millardo sweatdropped.
 

             “Miss Jewel! You really shouldn’t go any farther!” It was that lord from earlier and Jewel stared at him. “There’s a brawl at the casino and Sheriff Chang and Deputy Barton are having problems controlling it.” He ignored Ruby’s presence as he tried to steer Jewel in the other direction. However she had frozen as soon as she heard Deputy Barton.
          “Trowa? Trowa Barton?!”  Her usually serious face broke into a smile and she pulled away from him.
 The man sent her a confused look, “Yes, Deputy Trowa Barton… Miss Jewel, you really shouldn’t go that way. Some men have been yelling that Lightning Hilde and Snake-Eyes Winner are over there and whenever those two meet up a gunfight’s sure to start.”
             Ruby raised an eyebrow, “Hilde? Sheriff Chang? Well, at least we aren’t having to spend days searching for each other. Come on Jewel!” Ruby grabbed Jewel’s arm and the man glared at her.
             “Remove her you ruffian!”
             “HEY! SHE’S NOT A RUFFIAN!” Jewel punched him in the stomach, then bolted off with Ruby. As they ran Ruby turned toward her with a grin.
             “Thanks, Jewel!”
             “It was no problem… But Ruby.” Jewel hesitated and Ruby flashed her a concerned grin.
             “What is it?”
             “What is a ruffian?”
             Ruby laughed.
 

             Duo fixed the holsters over his shoulders and groaned slightly. “Why can’t I get a break? First time I’ve gotta wear some tin can… Now I don’t even have a shirt, just some stupid vest… Urgh.” He pulled the hat down, shielding his face somewhat. He stepped outside, grinning slightly as some girls winked at him and yelled out hellos. “Heehee, could get used to this.” He blinked as sudden noise reached his ears and he turned to see a number of people racing from a scene while others ran toward it. “A fight?” He grinned, “At least it ain’t a duel for Rel’s hand. Yeesh.”
             He started cautiously walking in the direction of the fighting and suddenly some woman was clinging to him. Duo yelped, it seemed like she was trying to melt into him! “Oh Maxwell! She’s back! Lightning’s back! She’s gonna kill you!”
             He raised an eyebrow, “Lightning? Lightning who? She?”
             The girl suddenly threw her arms around him and stared up at him with shining eyes. “Let me kiss you for good luck, Smooth!” And with that she planted her lips on his.
 

             Hilde giggled as Relena paled, then turned flaming red. “Heero Yuy! I knew with you I’d probably not get a traditional proposal on one knee, but this…” She shook her head, turning from him not even bothering to answer. He glared at her back.
             “Put some clothes on.”
             “No!”
             “Relena, put some clothes on.”
             “NO!”
             “RELENA PUT SOME CLOTHES ON BEFORE I DRESS YOU MYSELF!”
             “ARGH! YOU EVEN TRY AND I’LL SHOOT YOU!”
             “LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY!”
             “HILDE! GIVE ME A GUN!”
             Hilde’s eyes widened and she shook her head, backing away from the yelling couple. “Don’t think that’s a wise decision, Relena. Any ways, we really should start moving on ya’ll. Trowa and Dorothy have already carried Quatre off some ways.” She turned, “So stop yapping and start walkin’.” Hilde grinned and took a step forward, snickering at some couple that was kissing a little ways off. Then suddenly came to a halt as a familiar braid showed itself… On the man kissing some girl. Hilde saw red. “DUO MAXWELL!”
 

             “AH!” Duo pushed the girl off, eyes widening in shock as he spotted Hilde dressed like a cowgirl come stomping over.
             “OH NO! She’s gonna kill Smooth!” The girl yelled and raced off, still yelling.
             “NOT A BAD IDEA!” Hilde pulled out a gun and aimed it at Duo’s feet and started shooting, forcing him to dance.
             “HILDE! IT AIN’T WHAT IT SEEMS!”
             “OH YEAH?! SO YOU JUST TRIPPED AND YOUR LIPS FELL ON HERS?!” Hilde kept firing and he yelped as he narrowly lost a toe.
             “SHE JUST KISSED ME! HILDE BABE, I LOVE YOU!”
             “I LOVE YOU TOO DUO! THAT’S WHY I’M GONNA KILL YOU!” He yelped again as she started chasing after him and he bolted, nearly running over Trowa and Dorothy who’d dropped Quatre.
 

             “Wonder what he did…” Dorothy voiced as she and Trowa jumped out of Duo and Hilde’s way. Quatre sat in the dirt, still singing away.
             “Well at least we’ve found pretty much everyone… Just not Jewel or Ruby or Foxy…” He sighed and looked around, eyes staying on the still screaming Heero and Relena. “Think they’ll ever stop?”
             “Some point…” Dorothy suddenly screeched as Quatre leaped up and grabbed her, dancing. “AH! Quatre, stop!”
             “Oh my darlin’, oh my darlin’!” Quatre sang as he twirled her around and Trowa put a hand to his face.
             “Reminder to self… Never get Quatre drunk…”

 
             “Ruby, do you hear gunshots?”
             The other girl stopped and listened, eyes widening. “Yes and they’re getting closer!” Both jumped to the side as Duo Maxwell came running with Hilde at his heels, still firing her gun.
             “HA! RUN LITTLE MAN! RUN!”
             “Dear god… This place has caused them to go nuts…”
             Jewel swallowed, “This is a different world, right? Not your home?”
             “Yesss!!! You really think we could be from…” Ruby stopped, “Never mind…”
