The tapping became incessant.
"Don't you ever stop typing?!
As usual, Duo was answered by silence.
"Move." Heero said in his usual monotone voice.
"No!"
From Duo's tone, Heero could tell that this time his efforts
to get rid of the American pilot would prove to be most challenging.
"Come on Heero!! Pleeeaassee, let's do something today!"
Oh no, Heero thought, not that face! That was the same face
that Relena used when she wanted Heero to be her bodyguard or desperately
wanted to spend time with him. He couldn't stand it!
Heero rolled his eyes. This is one time, he promised
himself, he wouldn't relinquish to Duo's pleading look.
"Heero don't be so boring all the time!! Live a little!" Duo managed to say before the door slammed in his face.
Relena Peacecraft rounded the corner and proceeded down the
hall carrying a picnic basket.
"Hi Duo! Are you okay?"
Oh great, he thought, now she's here!
"Oh hey Relena! I'm fine. You want to see Heero? He's in there!" Duo shouted rather obnoxiously.
Heero stood petrified in fear at the mention of Relena's
name.
"HEERO!!" Relena chirped.
It sent shivers up and down Heero's spine.
That braided baka! This is entirely his fault!
"Oh Heero, I'm so glad you're here!
Heero just about keeled over in shock.
The braided pilot stood with a smug look on his face,
patiently waiting until his assistance would be required.
"Oh, I'm sorry Relena, but Heero already has plans today."
"He does??" she questioned sadly.
"Yeah, we planned on hanging out today, you know,
it's sort of a guy thing." Duo said as he shoved Relena into the elevator and
hit the button that went to the basement.
Relena sighed forlornly as the doors began to shut, but not before Duo snaked his hand into the basket and fished out a sandwich. He walked proudly back over to Heero and took a huge, as well as, loud bite out of the sandwich.
"Now you owe me Yuy." Duo said arrogantly. "Let's go!"
Heero sighed in defeat. Damn that Maxwell.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The two had driven around for what seemed like hours to Heero, who had become more annoyed by the minute. Not only did Duo sing along with every damn song on the radio, but he had insisted on driving as well!
"I know!" Duo began, "let's go look at those new model homes downtown!"
"No way Maxwell! I want to go home! I put up with your little shenanigans for as long as I can take, and I'm through!!"
"Nope Heero Yuy, you owe me, and we're going to do what I want to do today!"
"Model homes are stupid! I would have thought you'd at least come up with something more interesting than that."
"Well, I thought so too, but Hilde dragged me off last week to go look at some, and it was actually kind of fun. Anyway, don't you want to find you and Relena's dream home!" Duo said sarcastically.
Just then the 4Runner swerved to the right as Duo yelped in pain, after Heero's hand connected with the back of his head.
"One more outburst like that Maxwell, and I'll personally throw you threw the windshield."
Duo rubbed the back of his head. "Geez, Sor-ry! You sure are grumpy!"
Duo pulled into the parking lot of the model home building
and hopped out of the SUV.
"We have three model homes for you gentlemen to look at today." She said, still feeling strange about the whole thing.
"Great!" Duo exclaimed cheerfully.
He latched on to Heero's arm and began hopping up and down.
"Will you buy me one Hee-chan!? Come on, break out your check book!"
Heero pried the braided idiot off of him and shoved him off to the side. He seethed with animosity.
The representative raised her eyebrow and muttered to herself, "So that's how it is."
From the looks of it, Heero was completely embarrassed. He quickly exited the building with Duo laughing hysterically behind him.
"Let's just get this over with, so you'll be happy and I can go home!" Heero spat.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo threw open the door to the first model home and bolted
inside.
"See how fun this is!" Duo said as he climbed off of Heero.
The Japanese pilot only grunted at him.
"Can we leave now Duo, it seems as though you had enough fun for one day."
"But we still have two more model homes to go!"
Heero started to haul the American pilot out the front door, when he heard the most God-awful noise imaginable!
"Oooohh! How cute! This is just too adorable! Heero would love it!"
Heero's eyes bugged out. O_o
"What the hell is she doing here!?!?"
Duo got up and went over to see what Heero was going all ballistic over.
"It's okay buddy, she doesn't know we're here." Duo smiled.
"Yeah, but she's coming this way!" Heero added.
Duo glanced over to the backdoor, and motioned for Heero to follow. Just as the door slammed, Relena came bursting through the front door.
"Eeeeee! This one is absolutely gorgeous as well!!" She squealed.
Meanwhile, Duo and Heero were racing through the flowerbeds,
kicking up dirt and gophers as they rampaged towards safety, a.k.a. the next
house.
"NO! Won't listen to me! Come on Duo let's go! Oh no Heero this is fun!" Heero mimicked.
Duo sat there laughing at him.
"What's your problem Maxwell!? Can't you see we are in a crisis!!"
"Awww…It's the first time I've ever seen you act human Hee-chan! Such emotion!"
This seriously pissed Heero off even more. He had let down his guard all because of that stupid girl and that braided baka!!
"Yes Duo, I am human so get used to it!" he spat. "And stop calling me Hee-chan!! You have that one lady back there thinking we're gay!"
Duo laughed even more at this little comment. Heero was rather amusing when he was pissed off.
"Shut up already!! You're going to give us away!" Heero snorted.
Elsewhere, Relena was wandering through the house that Heero
and Duo had just evacuated.
"He's here!" she stated smiling evilly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Even though Heero was dead set on leaving at that very moment, Duo still wanted to explore the houses some more and kept telling Heero that everything would be okay.
"Hey!" Duo exclaimed, "Check this out!"
He opened a little door that was under the staircase and
crawled into it.
"Dammit Heero! It's dark in here!"
"I'll let you out if you agree to leave right now!"
Duo pushed on the door, but to no avail.
"I'll leave you in here and they'll never find you because the black widow spiders will dispose of your sorry butt!!"
Duo's face turned sheet white at the idea of there being spiders in there and began pounding on the door.
"AHH! Let me out of here right now Heero and we'll go!!" he pleaded.
Heero smirked and opened the door.
"HEEEERRROOOOO!!! I know you're in there!"
Heero glared at Duo. "This is all your fault!!"
The doorknob began to turn.
"Heero, this nice lady is opening the door for me, so we can be together!"
Duo glanced up at the stairs and both boys bolted up
them.
Relena busted into the room and frantically searched the
premises.
Heero was laying on his stomach under the bed.
"Eeeeeee!! You peeping tom!" he exclaimed.
"Quit goofing around!"
"Now what?" Duo asked.
"I will not hide like this!"
Duo shrugged, "Your living hell." He said.
Both pilots crept downstairs in stealth mode.
"This way," Duo whispered, as he made his way to the front
door. He started to pull the door open, when it squeaked rather loudly,
alerting the psychotic girl in the next room.
Relena silently stalked around the staircase in search of
her prey.
"I know you're in there Heero Yuy!" She ripped the door open and crawled into the tight passageway.
Having heard this, Heero and Duo emerged from their hiding
places and ran around the corner towards the staircase.
"Mission accomplished." he laughed, and considering Heero seldom ever laughs this one was abnormally sinister.
Duo and Heero high-fived eachother, which they normally
wouldn't have done either, but this was a joyous occasion.
"Let me out of here Duo Maxwell!! I know my Heero would
never do this to me!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Well, by this time Heero was in a considerably better mood,
and decided that he would go along with Duo's little façade.
"I hope everything was to your liking gentlemen."
Duo was the first to speak. "Miss Lady! There is a vagrant living in the last house down there!"
Then Heero chimed in, "Are homeless people a part of your little housing project? Well, they are not what we are looking for in a model home!"
"For your convenience, we locked her in the closet under the staircase, be careful she's a fighter! I think you need to see to this right now!"
The businesswoman looked shocked.
"There are no vagrants in our homes! This is absurd! I'm calling security!"
Heero added, "See that you do! Of all the nerve!"
Which was followed by Duo, "And to think we were actually considering one of these houses!"
The two pilots exited out of the building and laughed all the way to the 4Runner.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning, Heero sat down to read the paper, the headline made him smile.
She was quoted as saying: " I do not live here!"
The director of the model homes is quoted as saying: "Not
anymore you don't!"
Is she really a bum? Or just really cheap? More details
inside on page D7.

Muwahahahahaha….
Northstar: So what'd ya think? Kinda silly? And I must thank
Black Crowe for the idea of the newspaper headline. Oh and also, I must
sincerely apologize to you Black Crowe, for I know that Duo is your cartoon
man, not Hilde's. It just worked better in the storyline.
