Author's Note: This is just a break off of my Dr. Trowa's Mental Sessions. I'm still continuing that. After all, the Justice Ranger series isn't over with! (Dang it!) Enjoy this one, anyway.

Community Service

First period...Math Class

Mr. Sakaki, the math teacher, snapped his pointer stick on the board. "X equals 5, and 5 equal 17, which is X. This is fun isn't it class? Care to repeat, Relena?" He asked.

Relena, who sat a few millimetres behind Heero smiled. "Well, Heero told me that X is really a signal for the forgotten number in which place is 17-"

"Miss Peacecraft...just say the answer. We don't want to hear what Heero thinks all the time!" He snapped.

"But Heero said- ...well. Heero really said he hates math class and their teachers." Relena smirked.

"What?" Heero snapped. "Omae o korosu!" He flipped up his gun, and was about to shoot Relena. He missed and shot Jonny who sat behind her. "...oops..."

"Heero Yuy! To the office!" Mr. Sakaki snapped, as Heero marched out of the room.

Relena sighed, "You really don't like it when I compare you to Heero do you?" Relena asked.

"Why no!" Mr. Sakaki snapped again.

"Oh..." Relena said. "...Heero didn't mind."

"Miss Peacecraft, to the office now!" Mr. Sakaki raged. "I'm tired of this Heero business!" Relena smiled, and walked off after Heero.

Somewhere else in the school...First period...the Auditorium...

Duo, the rest of his English class, the principal, and all available staff were gathered in the auditorium. One of the staff died the other day, and they were performing a memorial service. The principal sighed, "Now everyone will stand in silence for 2 minutes in remembrance of Miss Stocknship...starting...now."

Everyone bowed their heads down, and sighed. Not again. Duo sighed. It's almost like a staff member dies everyday. I'm tired of this. How can everyone be so serious? It's only Miss Stocknship. She taught Stocks and Trading which no one attended. And how would she die when no one attended her class? ...I'm thinking Heero missed Relena's head again. He looked up at the principal. And their english teacher, Mr. Wambam. He was an elderly man, and the shortest of the staff with thick black glasses and a tacky red and gray vest. His serious, long and wrinkled face made Duo almost crack up!

Hold together lad! It's only a few...minutes more. Duo gasped and held his breath. Inhale...exhale...inh- He looked at the principal, who looked even more absurd! He had his fat chubby face, hanging from his cheeks and ears. His eyes were totally blocked and his nose wasn't even visible! It was scary and Duo had no choice but to burst out in laughter. He knew he was supposed to be silent, but it was no use! He giggled.

Sherry-Ann, who was beside Duo, kicked him in the foot. "Shut up, Duo!"

Duo fell to the ground, causing him to totally burst out in laughter! He rolled back and forth on the ground, laughing like mad.

The principal and staff popped up, "Who said that?" They chorused. "Who spoke?!"

Sherry-Ann innocently jerked her head towards Duo, helplessly laughing on the ground.

The principal hollered, "MAXWELL!!! TO THE OFFICE NOW!!" He ran over to Duo and snapped. "Out of all the absurd things you've done, this was-"

"Hysterical!" Duo gasped. "Look at your head!" He kept laughing.

"OFFICE, NOW! MAXWELL!!!" The principal dragged Duo to the front office.

Somewhere else...first period...History class

Perky Mrs. Tsunaka jumped up again, "Alright! Now, next. How did the government use taxes appropriately in the past? And how long ago have people been paying?"

Wufei scoffed. "This is pointless, Mrs. Tsunaka. I know more about history than all of you!"

"Make yourself scarce, Wufei. The others are trying to learn." Mrs. Tsunaka smiled. "Now..."

Weaklings... Wufei thought. You don't need to learn history...interpret it. Re-de-predict it! Since it already happened...visit a psychic that can...tell the past. Yeah, that's it. The only thing I know I know that I do know about is...Justice! I know everything about justice. It's more than a word! More than a word in a phrase! It means...quality! Wufei grinned. "JUSTICE!!!"

Mrs. Tsunaka looked at Wufei, as did the class.

"Justice is around the world, you onnas! Can't you feel the burn of justice in your hearts and souls?! Can't you feel...justice in the air?! Justice is in jails! Justice is mostly in me and rarely in you! Since you all do not know the meaning of Justice you will sing songs and be in groups and talk about boys! ...yeah, right! JUSTICE IS WUFEI! WUFEI IS JUSTICE! THERE WILL BE NO MERCY!!" He jumped up and wrote on the board, Justice is Wufei!!! Obey Wufei! "It's the new world order! Everyone's doing it, so why don't you! JUSTICE!!!-"

"Wufei..." Mrs. Tsunaka muttered. "Sorry about this, but...go to the office. We can not tolerate anymore justice talk."

"JUSTICE!" Wufei snapped. "See? You dare challenge me and use it against me!"

"Jin, Rex, drag him to the office." Mrs. Tsunaka ordered. They nodded.

"No, justice! JUSTICE!!!" Wufei screamed, being dragged down to the office. "JUUUUUUSSSSSTTTTIIICCCEEE!!!!!!"

Somewhere else...first period...Biology class...

Mr. Tamaon, the biology teacher, walked around the class. "Today...we'll be dissecting frogs. Frogs found in the swamps...down under."

"Australia?" Quatre asked, sipping tea.

"Yes, Quatre...no drinks during class." Mr. Tamaon replied.

"...but my tea." Quatre muttered.

"Quatre. Tea, down, now!" Mr. Tamaon snapped.

Quatre, shocked, dropped the tea, as the fine china glass dropped to the ground and shattered. "..."

"...good boy." Mr. Tamaon smiled. "Frogs are in front of you, dissect them with the right tools, your mission...find...the lungs, liver and heart."

Quatre gulped.

"Problem, Mr. Winner?" Mr. Tamaon asked.

Quatre shook his head, still cupping his mouth.

"...go." Mr. Tamaon said.

Quatre stared down at the frog in front of him. He shook his head, "...I don't want to hurt you."

"Problem once again, Mr. Winner?" Mr. Tamaon asked, walking past him.

"...I can't do this, Mr. Tamaon!" Quatre cried. "Look at his innocent face!"

Mr. Tamaon stared at the frog, and back at Quatre, "...Quatre, it's dead."

"NO!!!" Quatre cried again. "...who killed it?"

"Hunters." Mr. Tamaon sighed. "Quatre, if you're not going to do the school work in school, I'm afraid this is more serious than you...releasing the deadly rats from the biology storage."

"But can't you see? Animal violence is everywhere!" Quatre replied. "I don't want to support it!"

"...Quatre...to the office. It's against the rules to go against a teacher's order." Mr. Tamaon sighed.

Quatre nodded, solemnly, brought out another tea cup from his desk along with a tea bag and steaming hot water. He mixed them together, and started to drink tea. He walked out of the room, and down to the office.

Somewhere else...first period...geography class...

Miss Stanford, the geography teacher, stood at the front of the class. She smiled at her class, "You guys are doing really well on your test scores. But there were a few misunderstandings. We'll correct them, then it's off to your next class." She flipped through her papers, till she got to a Trowa Barton. "Trowa, tell me...what shape is the world?"

Trowa didn't say anything. He sat upright in his chair.

"...Trowa?" Miss Stanford asked.

Trowa cleared his throat and sighed, "Square."

"HA HA!" This boy named, Narf bellowed.

Trowa scoffed.

Miss Stanford sighed, "No, Trowa. Tell us the right answer."

Trowa remained silent.

"Trowa?"

"..."

"Trowa! Answer me now!"

"..."

"Detention, Trowa Barton!"

"..."

"TROWA!!!"

"..."

Narf bellowed out again, "HA HA! TROWA'S DEAD!"

"..."

"Trowa to the office now!" Miss Stanford snapped. "This is absurd."

Trowa got up, still silent, and walked out of the room, and down to the office.

**********
Everyone arrives at the office...
**********

"JUSTICE!" Wufei snapped. "I don't need to be punished! I need justice!"

The principal marched out and stared at the pilots and Relena. "DISGRACES!!" He walked passed them. "Don't think I don't know what's going on in class." He glared at Wufei. "Wufei! Anymore justice in this school and we'd all be in jail!"

"...what?" They asked, confused. This guy's pathetic... they thought.

"Duo...that was a moment of truth and silence! Not burst out an laugh at your principal's head!" He glared at Duo.

"But your head-- so big, chubby! I had no choice!" Duo laughed.

"Trowa! Not answering the teacher, eh? You think you're so tough!" The principal snapped.

Trowa didn't say anything.

The principal grumbled. "...Quatre, drop the dang tea!"

Quatre dropped his tea cup again, shocked. He gulped.

"Good boy." He smiled. "We've-- as in the staff in school, have taken a different approach to discipline-"

"Oh, don't tell me we have to listen to Wufei." Heero muttered.

"No, but that's an option." The principal smirked. "It's called...community service. You go to places around the community and help in any way possible, to pay up for disobedience in class."

"But we're already saving the world!" Duo sighed. "What else do you want?!"

The principal glared at Duo. "24 hours of community service, that's what! Be back in school Wednesday morning!-"

"2 days...That's torture..." Quatre sniffed.

"I KNOW THAT!!" The principal snapped.

Quatre sighed.

"...starting...now. Your homework will not be counted-- ...actually yes. Make sure your homework is completed as well...goodbye." The principal walked off, proudly. His nose still being blocked by his fat cheeks.

Duo gulped, and looked at the ground.

********

Quatre sipped his tea again. "I can't do this..."

"It's only working for a whole day around the community." Heero sighed. "It can't be that bad..."

"Hi Heero!" Relena smiled.

"...it just got worse." Heero sweat-dropped.

"So where are we off to first? A lawyer's office?" Wufei snapped. "Maybe I can teach them a thing or too about justice!"

"...shut up." Trowa said.

"He spoke!" Duo gasped. "It's a miracle!"

"...shut up." Trowa said again.

"I say we repair our Gundams!" Heero scoffed.

"...i'm going to the herbal shop." Quatre smiled. Everyone looked at him. "...or a library."

"I'm getting a lawyer!" Wufei snapped. Everyone looked at him. "...for...reasons..."

"I'm going back to the Maxwell Church." Duo sighed.

"Why?" Heero asked.

"...so I can renovate it and call it...DUOLAND!!!" Duo grinned. "...or maybe not..."

"I say we should all go to the Plant-A-Tree organization." Relena beamed.

"Omae o korosu." Heero stated.

"Stupid onna!" Wufei snapped. "We need war! And fighting in your lives!"

Quatre shook his head. "No, we're trying to save the world. Not cause more war."

"WHO TOLD YOU THAT?!" Wufei raged. "Lies! LIES!!!"

"...Wufei..." Trowa began. "...shut up."

"WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP FOR ONCE?!" Wufei snapped.

"...because..." Trowa began. "That's all I've been doing."

The principal marched out. "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU FAILURES TO LEAVE!!!"

"Uh..." They stammered.

"Fine, I'll TELL you where to go for now!" The principal sighed. "We need helpers at the orphanage..."

"Hey Duo, we're visiting your relatives!" Trowa smirked.

"Shut up." Duo glared at him.

"Then after that, you may pick from this list." He gave the list to Relena. "But, you must do 10 activities, no stopping or resting, or you'll have double to catch up on! Now beat it!" He slammed the door.

"Let me pick." Quatre said, looking at the list. "...After the orphanage, we're going to...the herbal shop, the tea market, then the sugar factory, the..." He looked up. "...what?"

"We are not going shopping for tea!" Wufei sighed. "...we're going shopping for JUSTICE!"

"...how can you shop for justice?" Duo asked. "It's only a word..."

Wufei twitched, angrily. "WHAT?!!!!"

"Run, run, run." Trowa muttered.

**********

"Welcome to the orphanage!" The lady at the front desk smiled. "How may I help you? Would you like to adopt a child?"

"...no...but if you have any justice-"

"Wufei!" Relena snapped. "We're helping."

"Oh, right." The lady beamed. "Walk this way. Hilde will meet you in the back."

"...H-H-H-...what?" Duo gasped. Not now...

"Hey, isn't Hil-"

"Heero, shut up. Don't remind me." Duo muttered.

"Okay!" The lady beamed. "This is the back room, where the orphans come to...enjoy themselves or...play." She kept walking, until she got to a lady at a desk who sort of looked like Noin. She was wearing a red beret. "This...is Hilde."

"This...is Duo." Quatre introduced, pointing at Duo. "He's-"

"Quatre, shut up." Duo grumbled.

Hilde looked up and beamed, "Hi Duo!"

"...this day is going to be very long..." Duo muttered. "...hi."

"What are you doing here?" Hilde asked.

"...but his head was so big!" Duo laughed. "I couldn't help it!!"

Hilde looked at him confused.

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

"This is snobby. This is Botty. This is Wimbledon. This is Trio. This is Muck and this...is Poultry." Hilde sighed. "The rest are...somewhere else. You're supposed to...pick one and...talk to them. Ask them what happened to their family."

"Poultry!" Wufei snapped. "...ever heard of justice?"

"Hiya!" Snobby grinned. He jumped up for Trowa to see him ,"My parents are dead, ya know?"

"...yes." Trowa sighed.

"...do you like tea?" Quatre asked Botty.

"How does it taste?" Botty asked.

"...nice." Quatre grinned. "I'll show you how to make tea. It's an essential."

"Hiya!" Trio grinned. "Hilde told me that you were an orphan, too!"

"Yeah." Duo replied.

"That's cool!" Trio beamed. "My parents are dead too!"

"Awful, isn't it?" Duo asked.

"...who said anything about awful? I'm free!" Trio grinned.

"Kid, Omae o korosu!" Heero snapped at Muck.

Muck whimpered and burst out in tears.

"So what's your name?" Relena asked.

"Wimbeldon Archer." He scoffed. "And you?"

"Relena Peacecraft." Relena replied.

"Bah!" Wimbeldon snapped. "What a foolish name!"

Speak for yourself. She thought.

**********

"Hold it like this." Heero snapped, showing Muck how to hold a gun.

"Heero, you aren't supposed to be teaching me this." Muck sighed. "I'm only 5."

"Lies!" Heero snapped. "Now hold it!"

"More tea, Quatre." Botty smiled.

"...but you've already had 15 cups." Quatre sighed.

"...but my tea..." Botty sniffed.

"Okay, okay." Quatre poured another cup of tea for Botty.

"And then my parents died, along with my sister and brother, my aunt died and I had no distant relatives so they were gonna kill me!" Trio beamed.

"...you seem pretty happy about being killed..." Duo said.

"Oh definitely!" Trio smiled. "At least I'll know where I belong. Heaven...or the other place." He spoke in a dark voice.

"...I'm Shinigami, you know." Duo grinned.

"That's funny, Mr. Trowa man!" Snobby smiled. "You were in the circus."

"...yes." Trowa replied.

"Teach me a magical trick!" Snobby beamed. "Oh pweeze!"

"Okay fine..." Trowa replied again. "It's called...running away. Like this." Trowa got up and ran.

"Repeat after me...Justice is Wufei." Wufei chorused.

"Justice is poopy pants!" Poultry giggled.

"And poopy pants is Justice!" Wufei said.

"Got that right, sucker!" Poultry giggled.

Wufei grumbled.

**********

"So where are we off to now?" Relena asked, after they left the orphanage.

"I...can't work with kids." Trowa sighed.

"You can't work with anything, you onna." Wufei grumbled.

"Justice freak." Trowa snapped.

"Solemn...onna!" Wufei snapped back.

"Onna." Trowa muttered.

"HOW DARE YOU...CALL ME A WOMAN!!" Wufei snapped.

"We're going to...scrub dishes and walls in a posh hotel." Quatre smiled. "Sounds inviting."

***

"So, aftere u done, u go heere and scrub wass." The manager explained, in his very crappy accent.

"...what's a wass?" Duo asked.

"The wass!" The manager kicked the wall. "Wass!"

"...wall." Quatre corrected.

The manager scoffed. "Moss u com an scrub dissh. Scrub dissh wi sope." He demonstrated by scrubbing a dish with soap.

"He's treating us like we're from a different country who can't speak English." Heero whispered.

"He's the one who needs a reality check." Duo replied.

"Quess ons?" He asked.

"...Repeat in English, please?" Wufei asked. "I don't understand ONNA language."

"Ho na?" He asked. "Wa iz ho na?"

Wufei sweat-dropped. "Never mind."

"A rite...u, u, an u scrub wass." He pointed at Quatre, Relena and Wufei. "No, u, u an u scrub dissh. Scrub dissh wi sope!" He pointed at Trowa, Duo and Heero.

"Great, I'm stuck with Mr. Boring and Mr. I-Will-Kill-You." Duo sighed.

"I need to go to the bathroom." Heero stated. "Could you...show...me...where...it...is?"

"...scrub dissh wi sope." The manager said. "Yeas? No go!"

"But I need to go to the bathroom!" Heero complained.

"Scrub dissh wi sope, faist! Bat oom lay ta!" He snapped, and walked off.

**********

"Oh, isn't this brilliant scrubbing a wass!" Wufei complained. "Hey world! We're scrubbing a wass!"

"Shut up, Wufei." Relena sighed.

"Be supportive." Quatre said. "We're bored, too."

"You might be bored, but I'm scrubbing a wass!!" Wufei snapped. "A WASS!!!"

"Scrub the wass an shuut upp!" The manager yelled.

***

"My fingers are getting wrinkly." Trowa sighed.

"Trowa, you didn't even touch the water." Heero snapped. "...Duo, scrub faster."

Duo grumbled. "How dare you. Shinigami shall send you all to hell!"

"Come on, Duo." Trowa said. "You only have 78 more dishes to go!"

Duo sweat-dropped. "Someone save me..."
