The Dark Project
Chapter1-The Shinigami flies again!
It was around six o'clock in the morning when Duo Maxwell woke
up to the sounds of keys on a keyboard being typed upon and the soft sound
of music.
"Why do you listen to that stuff?" Duo asked looking at his girlfriend
Jennifer Darkfall with sleepy eyes.
"Enya? because its relaxing honey bunny" she replied still staring at Heero's
laptop that she had borrowed from him. "Well its better than listening to rock in the morning because its only six o'clock".
"Well you can listen to it but I'm going back to sleep" he said as he rolled
over and fell back into his deep sleep.
When Duo woke up it was around eleven thirty.
"Whoa! " he yelled as he jumped out of bed and walked into the huge kitchen
of Quatre's mansion to grab some cocoa puffs. "Nobody ever wakes me up!!"
he yelled .
"Because you look like an angel when you sleep and your not supposed to wake
up angels" Jennifer said as she walked into the kitchen to greet him.
"Good morning" she said with a smile and kissed him.
"Good morning. Why didnt you wake me up?"
"Because you looked real tired and you stayed up all night watching tv.
And by the way when you get going Heero wants your help to fix his gundam."
"Whats up with him and that hunk of junk? thats all he ever thinks about
anymore."
"Just because the war is over doesnt mean that all the oz bases and crap
havent been destroyed. We are merely cleaning everything up."
"That war has been over for a year now-"
"Six months" she cut in.
"What do you mean we? you stay here and control things. Its us who do all
the work" he put in.
"So . Just hurry up and finish your breakfast" Jennifer said as she walked
out of the kitchen
"Heero what did you want me for?" Duo asked when he found Heero
walking in the basement that stored all the gundams.
"I need you to climb up into the cockpit and check out the systems while I
download files into it"
"I thought that you could fix your gundam all by yourself and in one night?"
Duo replied to Heero's sudden orders.
"Just get up there."
"Okay okay no need to get all irritated I'm going."
"Whenever I'm around you I'm irritated" Heero growled back.
"Hey I heard that!" Duo yelled down half way up the cord to the cockpit.
"I could get down and find something else to do!"
"Will you quit whining!!!!!!!!! and get up there!!!!!!!!"
"Sorry Heero this is as fast as your string thing goes!!!!!!!"
"Will you quit yapping and do your job!!"
"Yapping? oh my god!!, Heero! your vocabulary is expanding!!! your becoming
more human!!!"
"Whats that supposed to mean?" Quatre said as he walked up to Heero.
"Duo is being a nutcase" Heero answered.
Duo finially got into Wing's cockpit and sat down in the seat.
All he wants me to do is check the system so I'll check the system he said
to himself and a devilish grin swept over his face. "Ha ha!!!!
The Shinigami flies the Wing again!!!!!!!" Duo yelled as he made the gundam
move.
"Duo you idiot!!!!!!!! What the hell do you think your doing?!!!!!! Stop that
now we are down here!!!!!" Heero yelled up at Duo. But when Heero turned
the communicator all he heard was retarded laughing.
"Duo!!!!!!!" Quatre yelled. "He's gone off the deep end!!!!!"
"Well I'll just have to stop him!!!" Heero yelled
"How??!!"
"He will calm down when Jennifer gets on him!" He said heading for the door.
"Jennifer!!! where are you!!!"
"In here" she called from the library. " What is it?"
"Your boyfriends gone bazerk! we cant stop him!"
"Oh what has my honey bunny gotten himself into now" she said following Heero.
When they got to the basement Jennifer saw Duo playing around with
the mobile suit.
"Duo!!! Get your butt out of there right now before you hurt someone!!!!!!!!
you arent the only one here!!!!!!!!!" she yelled at him. The gundam immediatly
stopped.
"Hiya Jenny!!!! whats up?!!" Duo yelled at her.
"Get your butt out of there!!"
"What?!! I'm checking the systems for Heero!!!!!"
"You airhead!!!!!! Not like that!!!!!" Heero yelled at Duo.
The door opened and duo came out on the cord.
"Hey Heero I think you need to get this thing fixed!! Its way too slow!!!"
When he finially got down to the ground Heero was furious and getting redder
by the minute.
"Ooh Duo You are an IDIOT!!!!!!!" Heero yelled at Duo. "Who do you think you
are??!!!! I ask you to fix my systems-"
"Check your systems" Duo put in "and thats what I did in a different way."
"ugh I meant check for viruses and things while I downloaded files into the
system!!"
"Allright thats enough" Jennifer cut in. "Whats done is done nobody got hurt
and thats what counts."
"Jennifer will you take this animal somewhere to burn all that energy?"
Heero asked.
"Yeah! lets go to the park Jennifer!!" Duo squeaked happily.
"You are so childish sometimes" she said as he came up to her. I have just
afew more files to go through then we'll go somewhere."
"Cool"Duo yelled and followed her out .
"Thank god thats over" Heero sighed with relief. "Quatre will you help me?"
"Sure this should be easier with that banchie gone."
So Heero and Quatre worked on Wing in peace without Duo.
Chapter2-Coffee Crisis
Upstairs Duo watched Jennifer type away on the laptop. He smiled and
let out a sigh of happiness that he didnt have to do anything and that he was
there spending time with Jennifer. He looked at her. She had bags of sleep
around her eyes.
"Hey Jen."
"yes?"
"You got the bags man."
"What?" she looked at him with a smirk.
"You got the sleepy bags around your eyes. What time did you get up this morning?"
"Five o'clock."
"Good lord! you went to bed right before me! girl you need more sleep than that."
"Finished!. Lets go to the park and burn some energy."
"You have to have energy to burn. Did you eat breakfast?"
"No."
"Allright missy!!" Duo said as he popped up from his seat.
"Its noon!! Lets go make a pot of coffee and get you some cocoa puffs to give
you some energy!!" He grabbed her arm and pulled her into the kitchen.
He got her a bowl of cocoa puffs and made her eat them. Then he made them
a pot of coffee and sat down next to her.
"Duo why do you have a glass of milk and coffee?" she asked staring at him.
"To wash the coffee down because its too hot."
She continued to look at him unit she burst out laughing from his stupidity.
"What are you laughing at? eat your cocoa puffs before I finish them."
"I'm getting there."
After Jennifer finished the cereal she started to sip the coffee.Duo, who was already on his second cup said,
"We're never gonna get to the park if you drink it like that. Gulp it down
woman!!"
"Allright!!" she yelled as she poured a whole bunch of milk into her glass
and gulped it down.
After about two pots worth of coffee the two were bouncing off the walls.
"Allright lets go to the park go get in the car" Jennifer told Duo as she
went to the basement to tell Heero that they were leaving.
At the park Duo immediatly ran to the slide with the cover.
"Yahooooo!!!!!!!!!" he yelled as his voice carried all the way down the
slide. Just as he got to the bottom of the slide Jennifer crashed into him with her back.
"Surprise!!!!" she yelled
"Ooh I'll get you back!!" he yelled as he jumped out of the slide and ran
around to do it again. This time he crashed face first into her.
"Youch!!" Jennifer yelped out as she jumped out of the slide leaving Duo
in there laughing.
"Hey wait for me we'll go down together!!!" Duo wailed as he hopped out of
the slide and caught her. "Gotcha!!!" he yelled as he spinned her around
with his hands around her waist.
"Allright lets go!!" they ran up the stairs and flew down the slide.
Since Duo was in front he stopped with the grip of his hands and shoes.
"Hey you stopped the ride!!" Jennifer yelled pushing on Duo's back.
He laughed and laid back on her. "Hey!! I'm stuck now because your laying
on my feet!!!!" she laughed.
"Thats the purpose!!" he giggled.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" she looked at him. He was laying on her
and staring at her big deep royal blue eyes.
"You have pretty eyes" he said.
"Look whos talking" she said staring into his cobalt blue ones.
"Why thank you" he said in a silly voice. Then she bent over and kissed
him and they stayed there in the slide.
Back at the mansion, Trowa and Wufei had just come back from the
home depot. They walked into the kitchen and saw a bowl, two coffee cups
and a pot.
"What happened here?" Trowa asked.
"I probably dont want to know" Wufei replied.
"Oh well lets get these parts to Heero before he has a fit, knowing him"
Trowa said as he walked to the basement door.
"Heero we got your parts" Wufei said as he walked up to Heero.
"Good. Bring them here."
"Its way too quiet. Wheres Duo?" Trowa asked looking around the place.
"Jennifer took him to the park to burn some energy" Quatre said walking up
to them. Yeah the boy decided to play with Wing instead of work."
"That sounds like that fool" Wufei said.
"Well lets hope that Jennifer keeps him out long enough for us to get the
repairs done. That boy can be the most annoying person when he has too much energy"
Herro said looking at Wing Zero.
"Hey Heero what happened to your Zero one?"Quatre asked .
"That split personallity woman went and saved treize with it and demolished
it" Wufei said.
"Well lets get to work before we lose daylight" Trowa said as he walked over
to Heero's mobile suit.
It was about eight thirty when Jennifer and Duo finially came back.
"Gosh you sure are a spendahollic" Jennifer said walking in to the livingroom
with three bags of clothes.
"Yeah well I know how to dress."
"Really expensivley" she told him setting the bags down on the couch.
"Well its not my fault you have such cheap taste!" he laughed at her.
"I do not!!! I just dont buy this much at a time!!!"
"Whatever!! half of these bags are yours!!"
"Whatever."
"Where have you two been?" Heero asked while walking into the room.
"Out shopping" Duo said.
"For eight hours?"
"No only about four. We spent alot of time at the park" Jennifer blurted out
before Duo could say anything stupid.
"And what were you doing at the park?" Heero asked with questioning eyes.
"Oh we just-"
"We played at the playground" Jennifer cut Duo off.
"I dont believe you" Heero said and walked out of the room.
"Oh one of these days your mouth is going to get you in trouble Duo."
"Nah come on lets get these clothes upstairs. Come on lets go." Duo said,
picking up his bags and urging her on.
"I'm coming I'm coming."
Chapter 3- The Dark Project
Even though Jennifer stayed behind during every mission she was still
a very important person to the group. She did all the computer stuff plus
she was a profesional thief.
At supper that night they were simply talking about everything else but
missions. Suddenly Jennifer's beeper went off.
"I'll be back in a minute. I have to go check something" she said getting up
from the table. She ran to her room where the computer was and clicked it
on and it started talking about a very rare stone called the devils eye.
It was a huge ruby cut into a dragon shape and it was bigger than her hand.
"Wow. I'll get some big bucks for that one. Allright where is it?"
She played around on the computer and found the location. "The cave of Gods
in Greece? I've never heard of that one before. But nevertheless this one
should be worth the while." She saved the information to a disk and headed down stairs.
"what was that about?" Quatre asked.
"A job" she answered.
"What do you have to steal this time?" Duo asked suspiciously.
"Its a huge ruby,bigger than the size of your fist. Its called the Devils eye
but its carved onto the shape of a dragon."
"Hmm,a dragon. I get it,a red dragon" Quatre said.
"What does a red dragon have to do with her job?" Wufei asked.
"Dungeuns and dragons"
"What?"Duo looked at Quatre clueless.
"What?! youve never played the game dungeons and Dragons?"
"No" was all he got for a response.
"Allright. Listen and learn Dungeuns and dragons is a medevil game.
Its kindof like an RPG game except its not on a system like playstation.
Its a game that is played with characters thet you get to pick out of a book
liks the name Asmodeus meaning arch devil." Quatre explained what the game was
about and how red dragons were evil and were used by the devil and such.
After he was done explaining they all heard a snoring sound. They all looked to
the end of the table and saw Duo sleeping.
"Duo! you brat why did you fall asleep?" Quatre asked.
"Huh?" Duo looked up with sleepy eyes. "Because Im tired ok? And your story
was too boring to stay awake through, and besides I dont play games that
arent on systems like dragons and whatever."
"Yeah I guess we should all turn in for the night. Its been a long day"
Jennifer said getting up. "Come on Duo,your not going to fall asleep at the
table again." She got him out of his chair and walked him up to his room.
"Allright then guys I'll see you in the morning" Trowa said with a yawn and
headed to his room. Soon after they all left the dining room and headed to bed.
Jennifer finially got Duo to their room she layed him down on his bed. "Gosh Duo you sure do weigh alot."
"Im not fat."
"I know your not." She grabbed her nightshirt and went to the bathroom to
change. When she came out Duo had already changed into his mid thigh length t-shirt.
"What are you doing?" she asked when she saw Duo in her bed.
"Warming it up for you."
"Oh you are so strange sometimes. Its summer" She walked over to the bed and sat down on
the bed. "Oyasumi nasai Duo."
"I didnt know you could speak Japanese"
"Well Im living in a house with abunch of Japs sooner or later I would have to
learn the language and besides I only know afew words."
"Ok. Goodnight Jenny" he said.
"Hello, This is my bed."
"Oh just for one night." He said as he wrapped his arms around her and
layed back down."Please"
"Fine but no monkey business."
"Sure"and he closed his eyes.
At about one o'clock Duo woke up drenched in sweat. He looked at Jennifer.
"Just a bad dream." He stroked her face and layed down. "Man I cant sleep."
He got up and went to take a shower.
Jennifer woke up,being a light sleeper heard the shower and saw that Duo wasnt
in bed. She got up and went into the bathroom.
"Duo, are you allright?"
"Yeah. Just another nightmare,except this one was bad"
"It seems like they are getting worse every night" She said,sitting down on
the toilet. "did you wake up all sweaty again?"
"Yeah."
"Well do you want to tell me about it?"
"Its allright."
"Duo I know you have alot of vitality but sometimes you just need to talk to
somebody."
"I'll be fine."
"Your lieing."
"I know I am. Jen,"
"Yeah?"
"I dont think its a good idea for you to go on this job."
"Why not? Is that what your dream was about?"
"Yeah but it was real bad. You were killed and I couldnt save you because I
wasnt fast enough. Hades swallowed you up."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Dont worry about it."
"I think I have a right to know. I mean I want to know why I shouldnt go on this mission."
"Allright." Duo got out of the shower and all he had on was a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Come on I dont want to stay in the bathroom" He put his wet arm around her and they
walked out of the bathroom.
"Go wait on the balcony for me" He told her while he grabbed a clean night
shirt and toweled off.
Jennifer walked out to the balcony in silence and sat on the bench.
There was a full moon outside and it reflected off Jennifer's blonde hair
and face and made her shimmer. Duo finially walked out to the balcony and saw how
pretty she was and it made him feel worse that he might lose her if she went on this job.
"Its a pretty nice night tonight isnt it?" He said as he sat down next to her
on the stone bench.
"Yeah beautiful and clear" she said. "I know how you love to stargaze."
"Well anyway what was your dream about?"
"Allright. It started off like this, you went to the cave and walked
inside it and it had abunch of letters on the ground."
"Letters on the ground?"
"Letters of the alphabet." He got down and showed her what he meant.
"And on the wall there was a sign in latin that the word of God."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Listen,Do you know what the word of God is? Its a trick question and you
figured it out. It wasnt the word of God it was the name of God."
"Jehova."
"Exactly, so you stepped on the J and fell through but I caught you before
you fell all the way down. Then you figured out your mistake because in latin-"
"That word begins with an I"
"Yeah." The he yawned. "Can I finish it tomarrow?"
"No, You just dont want to tell me what happened."
"Yes and no."
"Please? Duo I have to leave in afew days to complete this job and I
want to know what happens."
"Allright allright I'll finish."
He finially finished his story and just stayed there looking up at the moon.
"So are you still going to go?" He asked
"I dont know." They lost track of time and stayed up all night. "Lets not
worry about that right now. Lets just get some sleep." She scooted closer
to him and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Good idea" He put his arm around her and rested his head on her and fell
asleep just as the sun was beginning to rise.
It was about noon when Trowa went into Jennifer's bedroom and saw
that they were sleeping the bench.
"Well where they?" Heero asked walking into the room.
"Sleeping."
"Oh. I guess they stayed up all night. Probably another nightmare."
"Does he ever tell you what they are about?" Trowa asked.
"No. He probably doesnt even tell Jennifer."
"Well lets let them sleep" Trowa said as he closed the door.
Duo woke up with the warm sun burning down on his face. He looked
at Jennifer who was still sleeping soundly on his shoulder. He hugged her
tightly and looked over the balcony toward the Cinq Kingdom which had been
rebuilt. Relena had moved back into the palace. He wondered why Quatre had
a house so close to the Cinq Kingdom. About five minutes later Jennifer
woke up and looked at Duo.
"Good morning sunshine" he said smiling at her.
"Good morning. Gosh the sun sure is bright today, apropiate for summer."
"Yup. Come on lets go down stairs before we fry."
"Good idea."
Chapter 4-The Picnic
Jennifer changed into a purple spagetti strap tanktop and white
short shorts. Duo put on a white shirt and grey shorts. She quickly braided
his yard of chesnut brown hair and they both went down to get some breakfast.
"What time did you two go to sleep?" Trowa asked looking up from the televison
as he saw them walk down.
"Dont ask me" Duo said.
"Well you fell asleep on the bench I just thought that the room might have
been too hot or something."
"No Duo was just telling me his nightmare."
"He actually told you one?" Heero asked walking into the room with grease on
his hands from working on the car.
"Yeah because it was about my job and this ruby."
"Hey Heero did the car break down?" Duo asked laughing at Heero.
"Yeah but we cant find the problem. Your the mechanic why dont you come look at
it?"
"Later I have to eat."
"Jennifer if your shorts were any shorter you'd be advertising" Duo said looking at her shorts.
"Well I dont like to wear long or loose things, and I especially hate long
shorts" She said acting sassy. "And it doesnt matter if Im advertising because theres
no one around and I'm not going anywhere.
Just as Jennifer was giong to go eat breakfast the door bell rang.
"I wonder who that could be" Quatre said.
"I'll get it" Heero said walking to the door. As he opened the door Relena stood
there in very short shorts and a yellow tanktop.
"Hello Heero" She said with a smile.
"Miss Relena, please come in" Quatre smiled and greeted her.
"Thank you!" she said happily and walked into the living room.
"Hey Relena and Jennifer both wear the same size shorts!!" Duo yelled as he
walked into the room.
"Duo!" Jennifer yelled popping her head into the room. "Oh hello" she said
walking over to Relena. "I'm Jennifer Darkfall,Duo's girlfriend."
"I'm Relena Peacekraft of the Cinq Kingdom."
"See look they both wear the same size!" Duo shouted.
"Duo stop being a brat!" Jennifer gave him a mean look.
"Well I'm just trying to crack a joke."
"Well you did" Trowa said with a laugh.
"Well atleast somebody appreciates my jokes."
"So what brings you here Relena?" Quatre asked
"Oh just to invite you to a picnic tomarrow. I'ts so boring at the Cinq Kingdom and
I havent talked to you all in a while. Do you want to go?"
Sure! Is there going to be food?" Duo yelled with excitement.
"Yes there will be plenty Of food" Relena giggled.
"Then count me in! Do you want to go Jenny?"
"Why not."
"We will be there" Quatre spoke for the group.
"Great! Heres the time. See you then!" She handed Duo a piece of paper and left.
"Heero are you going to go?" Quatre asked.
"Probably not"
"Why not?! Yuo cant do that besides this was the first time she wasnt annoying!!
you have to go!" Duo yelled.
"Allright I'll go."
"Great" Quatre said.
"Now Duo come help me work on the car so we can get there atleast" Heero said.
"Allright, lets go."
The two went out to the car and Duo looked at the engine.
"Hmmn I'll have to get in there and take a closer look."
"We think it might be the engine" Heero said messing with it.
"It could be a number of things. I wont know until I get in there."
"Here" Heero handed Duo a pair of overalls. "I dont think you want grease
on your white shirt."
Duo put the overalls on right there and slid under the car.
"So Heero what did you think of Relena's outfit?"
"I'm not answering that."
"Why not? Did you think she looked good?"
"Shut up."
"Come on Heero, you can tell me
"Will you ever shut up?"
"Not until I get what I want"
"Ok ok to make you shut up. Yes she looked cute in that outfit."
"I know what you mean. You'd never think to see Relena Peacekraft in that
kind of outfit."
"Yeah. I guess she decided to get out of the ESUN for a while and start
living like a regular girl again."
"A regular girl living with you" Duo snickered. Heero kicked him for that.
"OW!!! Geeze Heero! That hurt!" Duo yelped.
"That will teach you to make stupid remarks like that."
"What?! I always make stupid remarks like that! But you never kicked me before!
Damn! I'm giong to have a bruise there!"
Heero just laughed. "Serves you right."
"I'll get you back."
"Duo, Close your mouth and get to work."
"Yes sir great Heero Yuy" Duo said sarcasticly and kicked Heero in the shin hard.
"Ow!" Heero yelled
"HA! see told you I'd get you back!"
They finially shut up and got to work.
About an hour later Jennifer came out with lunch for them.
"Lunch time! Its one o'clock!" She said stopping infront of the car.
"Ooh great I'm starving!" Duo came out from under the car and
reached to get a sandwich.
"Oh no! Go wash your hands first!" She screeched.
"Allright allright" Duo replied and kissed her putting his greasy hands on her
face smearing it on her.
"Duo!! You Dork!" Jennifer yelled punching him slightly hard.
He just laughed at her and rubbed the spot where she had punched him.
They all went inside and Heero and Duo washed their hands.
"Take off those overalls too" She said taking a bite of a ham sandwich.
"Chill woman I'm getting there" Duo said. The three stayed in the kitchen eating lunch
for an hour before going back outside to continue working on the car.
Wufei walked into the kitchen and saw Jennifer.
"What happened to you?" he asked looking at the grease marks on her face
"Duo took it upon himself to wipe grease on my face. And whats worse,Heero laughed at me."
Wufei stood there for afew seconds then cracked up laughing. Quatre and Trowa,
who were in the library heard Wufei's excessive laughing and came to see what he was laughing
at because that was something that he never did at all.
"Whats going on here?" Trowa asked seeing Wufei red with tears running down
his face from laughing so hard.
"Oh Look!" Wufei said between laughs and pointed to Jennifer who was covering her
face with her hands.
"Jennifer, whats wrong?" Quatre said in a soft and concerned voice walking over to Jennifer.
She pulled her hands from her face and revealed the grease marks.
"Oh my god." was all he said before bursting out laughing.
"Its not funny!!!"She yelled and stood up. She was yay close to crying now.
She turned to Trowa and looked at him for afew seconds before he did the same thing
as the other two were doing.
"I'ts not funny!!" Jennifer yelled with tears running down her face. She took off
to her room and lockd the door behind her and ran to her bathroom to try and scrub the
stuff off.
"They are so mean! it wasnt funny at all" she cried. The grease wasnt coming off
so she used nail polish remover and finially got it all off but it left her face all red.
Jennifer stared at herself in the mirror and broke cown crying. She walked to the bed and
went to sleep.
By six o'clock Duo and Heero had fixed the car,with Duo doing most
of the work thanks to Heero.
"Wheres Jennifer?" Duo asked looking at Wufei. The boy just burst out laughing
and scared the crap out of Duo and made Heero jump. Soon after the other two
did the same thing and the room was filled with laughter.
"Hey!!" Duo yelled "What in the hell is going on in here?!"
Go up to your room and find out!" Wufei hollered. "No wait you already know
because you did it!"
"Did what?"
"Put the grease on Jennifer's face!" Trowa yelled.
"Oh great" Duo said and ran up the stairs to his room but the door was locked.
"Jennifer? are you in there?" he asked.
"Just go away."
"Are you allright?"
"No."
"Can I come in?"
"No."
"Its my room too."
The door unlocked and Duo walked in. The entire room was dark except for the
light of the setting sun through the open doors of the balcony. Jennifer was lying on her bed.
"Whats wrong?" Duo asked walking over to the bed and sitting down on it.
"Forget it" she said looking out the doors at the setting sun.
"There obviously is something wrong."
"They all laughed at me" Jennifer said with tears swelling in her eyes. "They all
laughed at me" she said,crying.
"Its okay" he said lifting her up to hold her. "Its okay"
Jennifer just sat there in Duo's arms with uncontrolable tears falling
down her face.
"Sshh. It's okay your fine."
"No I'm not" she cried. "You put the grease on my face and they started laughing at me"
Jennifer said between sobs.
"I'm sorry" he said in a soft voice. Duo continued to rock her back and forth
and they stayed there until the sun went down.
The next day came quickly. Every one fell asleep in different areas of
the house. Trowa fell asleep on the couch reading the paper, Quatre fell asleep in the library
in his reading chair,Wufei went to sleep at the kitchen table and Heero fell
asleep in front of the television on a couch. Duo fell asleep with Jennifer,who had cried herself
to sleep in his arms.
About nine o'clock Heero woke up with a major crick in his neck.
"Oh man, that was a bad idea to fall asleep on the couch" he said and walked
into the living room to find Trowa on the couch with the paper on his chest.
Then Heero walked into the kitchen and found Wufei sleeping in a puddle of
drool.
"Hey Wufei wake up your going to ruin the wood table if you keep drooling."
"Wha?" Wufei looked up at Heero,still practicaly asleep.
"Here. Clean up your mess" Heero passed Wufei a wet paper towel. He cleaned it up and
went back to sleep.
Back up in Duos room the sun was rising still. Duo had woken up and was
stroking Jennifers hair off her face which was still slightly damp from crying.
He really didnt want her to go on this mission but he knew she wouldnt listen.
He glanced at the clock,it was nine thirty.
"Jen" he whispered in her ear. "Jen wake up we have to go to the picnic at noon."
She opened her eyes and looked into his cobalt blue eyes.
"What is it?"
"We have to go to Relena's picnic today."
Duo got off the bed and stretched.
"I dont want to go down there" she said getting up to close the balcony doors.
"Do you feel better?" he asked as he walked over to her and put his arms around her waist.
"Yeah."
"Thats good" he rested his head on her shoulders.
"Come on lets go kick their butts" He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the door and they went downstairs.
"Good morning prince drool-alot" Duo said to Wufei as he walked into the kitchen to find him drooling again.
"Ugh I already made him clean it up one time already. Wufei get your butt up and clean up
your mess again" Heero said starting to get agrivated.
"yeah yeah I'm up" Wufei said and started to clean up his mess for the second time.
He looked up and saw Jennifer then burst out laughing at the sight of her red face.
She slapped him HARD in the face and left a red mark on his cheek. Jennifers face was red not only from using
all that nail polish remover but also from crying all last night. The other two boys walked into the kitchen
all sleepy eyed and saw Wufei rubbing a very red spot on his cheek.
"Wufei what happened to your face?" Trowa asked
"Jennifer slapped me."
"Man, that looks like that hurt" Quatre said.
"It did you fool."
Duo just sat there holding back his laughter which was about to explode until
he couldnt help it any more. He burst out laughing.
"Injustise!!!" Wufei yelled and turned red
"So now you know how it feels!" Jennifer yelled at Wufei
"Yeah but he didnt run to his room crying" Trowa said. Oops,sor-"
Jennifer slapped him right in the face as hard as she did Wufei.
"Allright lets stop the voilence and concentrate on getting to Relena's picnic" Quatre said.
The breakfast table was a sight . Trowa and Wufei were rubbing their very red cheeks and whimpering,
Heero was sitting in silence but he was thinking about the bruise that was on his shin and Duo was
giggling to himself that Trowa and Wufei got slapped. Jennifer was silent but
she was pleased with herself for slapping the boys but in other words was feeling better.
Everyone went to their rooms to get ready for the picnic. Jennifer was in the shower and Duo was
brushing his teeth
"Hey Jen huwy up" Duo said with a mouth full of tooth paste.
She let out a laugh. "I'm almost done Duo" She grabbed her towel,wrapped it around her and got out of the
shower.
"Could you take any longer?" Duo asked while undoing his braid.
"Yes I could get back in if you wanted to"
"Sure but I'll be in there too!" He said with a smile plastered on his face.
"I'ts okay I have to brush my teeth and get dressed. you go ahead."
"suit yourself" He hopped into the shower and threw his clothes over the bar that
held up the almost clear shower curtain. Then he turned on the shower
"Yeaow!!!!!" Duo screamed.
"Whats wrong?" Jennifer asked
"Damn thats Cold!!!" He screeched
All Jennifer did was laugh. Suddenly the bedroom door burst open and Trowa ran in
"What was that noise?!"
"Oh you just heard Duo scream because the water in the tub is very cold" Jennifer said smiling.
"Allright. I was just making sure-"
"Nothing happened yes I know.We're allright."
Trowa walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Jennifer went back to brushing her teeth and getting ready
It was hotter today than it was yesterday so they all were in shorts.
Heero was in a white short sleeve with blue jean shorts,Wufei was wearing his
blue tanktop withblack shorts,Duo was in a red tanktop with kacki shorts,Jennifer was wearing
a white spagetti strap tanktop with short jean shorts. So in other words they were all dressed the same.
By noon they were all at Relena's. She met them in the front field and yes she was
wearing the same thing as everyone else.
"Hello everybody!" Relena said walking up to them.
"Good afternoon Relena" Quatre said getting out of the driver seat of the blue limo that they came in.
"Nice car. Is it yours?" she asked.
"Yeah," Duo replied, "He's the only one who can afford one."
"Actually I could" Jennifer pipped up, "Ya'know with my job."
"Of course you could. You could practically have anything you wanted" Duo said grinning at her.
They all walked over to the very large picnic table that was filled entirely with food.
"Wow onna did you cook all this yourself?" Wufei asked eyeing all the food.
"No actually. Everyone else did, I mean all my cooks. By the way whats an onna?"
Heero couldnt help but laugh at this one. Duo looked at him and saw that the boy was trying hard to hide his silent laughter.
"Its no good Heero. Just let it out" Duo said looking at him weird.
Heero's laughter was followed by an injustice which made Jennifer start to giggle.
"You dont know what onna means?" Jennifer asked Relena who was staring at Heero in shock.
"huh?" she said, snapping out of her tranz. "No. Could you please tell me?"
"Sure onna means woman in japanese."
"Well now that we have that out of the way lets eat" Relena said starting for the table.
"I couldnt agree with you more on that subject!" Duo exclaimed and ran to the table as if to get the best seat.
"I think you really over did it Relena" Heero said walking next to her.
"No. You can eat all you want-"
"Sure!!!!!" yelled Duo interupting Relena.
"Duo!" Jennifer gave him a smirk but also giggled at his remark.
"What?! my stomach is growling."
"But you just ate not even two hours ago."
They sat there and argued in a silly manner and Relena grabbed Heero's arm.
He looked at her in surprise and was about to say let go but was cut off.
"Heero will you sit by me?" she asked smiling at him sweetly.
Trowa smiled at him and said go on with his lips. Heero gave a low growl and let Relena lead him to the end of the table. After
they all had settled down in a seat Relena said,
"So Jennifer, what do you do?"
"Oh I'm a thief" she said putting down a chicken leg.
"A thief?" Relena looked akward at her. "You steal from other people to make your life better?" She gulped thinking of all her
highly expensive things.
"Yeah" Jennifer said sensing the nervousness that was beginning to show on Relenas face. Thinking quick she added, "But I dont
steal from close friends or people I know."
Thank God Relena said to herself.
"You looked alittle worried there" Jennifer said.
"I've never met a thief before."
"Never?"
"No."
"You see there are several kinds of thiefs. Some thiefs get to know a person and gain their trust then, go in for the kill."
"Are you that kind of person?"
"Oh no I only steal from people I dont know. Because if I dont I feel really guilty. So dont feel scared around me K? cause I dont steal from friends."
"Okay, just wanted to clear that up you know"
"Yeah people ask those kinds of questions."
"I'm really happy you came Heero" Relena whispered over to Heero.
"Why?"
"I really love to see you Heero"
"Why?"
Dont you get it silly? I like you"
Heero stared into her blue eyes and searched for an answer but couldnt find one. I dont get it, he said to himself, why does she like me so much? I'm the guy who tries to kill her. Heero snapped back into reality when he felt something move up his leg.
Relena sat there smiling at him and he knew it was her.
"Oh man that was great!" Duo said, stretching. "It really hit the spot."
Heero looked over at him then at Relena whos foot had moved further up his leg. What should I do? he thought should I let her or should I move? he couldnt think so he went along with her.
A hello was heard as several girls walked up to the table and sat down next to the boys.
"Hi girls how are you?" Relena asked looking up from Heero's gaze, greeting Dorothy,Catherine and Hilde who had just sat down.
"Hi there" Dorothy said and sat down next to Quatre who was blushing alittle.
"Hi Duo" Hilde said smiling at him but before he could say anything his kneecap was pinched and he laughed.
"What did you do that for?" He asked looking at Jennifer who was smiling. He knodded his head and simply said hello to Hilde.
The new guests filled up on food and Wufei broke the silence.
"So onna, what should we do now?" a piece of cake was thrown at his face. Duo giggled and looked in the other direction as Wufei looked at him.
"INJUSTICE!!!!!!!!" he hollered but was interrupted as a pie was thrown at him. Duo cracked and almost fell over with laughter but was cut short as a piece of chicken hit his tanktop.
"HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled and a big food fight broke out.
After there was more food on the grass than on the table they all went to the hose to wash all the food off themselves. While they were doing this they heard a scream and saw Catherine in the huge in ground pool and Trowa standing on the cement laughing.
"Hey thats what we can do!" Relena shouted, "Lets go swimming!"
"With what?" Hilde asked, "We forgot out suits."
"I have plenty lets go pick out some."
"Why not" Dorothy said and followed everyone in.
"HEY!!!! Can someone get me a suit too?!!!" Catherine yelled from the pool.
"Yeah I'll bring you one!!" Relena yelled.
They went inside and found the skimpiest swimsuits that Relena had. Mean while the boys were in a seperate room picking out their suits.
"Oohh a blue one! that ones mine!! and its a bikini too!!" Jennifer cried and grabbed a blue two piece bikini with blue hawiian flowers on it. She jumped up to go change. Thay all picked out their suits and went to change. The boys were already finished and were already out in the pool by the time the girls were finially finished.
"Here Catherine you can get changed in the pool house cause your already wet!" Relena yelled handing her a red two piece bikini and pointing to the small pool house. Catherine frowned and went to the pool house to change. They all came out.
"Wheres Jennifer?" Duo asked Relena.
"Shes still changing, wait there she is."
Jennifer came out in her skimpy little bathing suit. Duos eyes went wide when he saw her.
"Wow" he said as she jumped into the pool and splashed everyone.
"I told you she got the prettiest one!" Hilde whined at Dorothy.
"Well you werent fast enough and I got it!" she said wiping her hair out of her face. "So Duo, what do you think?, do you like it?"
"Uh huh" he said staring at her.
"Great!!I'm so happy!! Do you think I look better in this suit than Hilde would?"
"uh huh"
Hilde turned red with jealousy "HEY!!!" she yelled and started to chase Jennifer around the pool.
"Who wants drinks?!!" Heero yelled from a table with a plate of glasses.
"I do!" Relena said walking over to him to take off her shoes. He looked at her in a funny way and handed her a glass.
"Why thank you Heero."
"Hey you two!! Quit flirting and get into the pool!!!!" Duo yelled at them. Then Jenifer jumped onto his back and threw her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. '"Lets Go play!!!"
"Well what did you have in mind" he said as he turned around to face her.
"Hmmn how about volley ball!"
"I'll go for that" Heero c'mon we're gonna play vollay ball!!!! Hurry up and get in here!!!!!" he yelled.
"Well do you wanna play volley ball Heero?"
"Sure I have to kick Duo's ass anyway."
"Yippee!!!!!" she grabbed his arm and started to run toward the pool.
They set up the net and split up into teams.
"I wanna surf first!!" Relena hollered. They passed her the ball and the game was on. About two or three hours later Relenas team won leaving Wufei hollering "INJUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!" at her for losing to a weak onna which was what he called her.
After that they just swam.
"Oohh!! Lets play chicken!!!!" Dorothy yelled coming up from under water.
"What?!!" Hilde said.
"You put two people on two other peoples shoulders and the people on top try to knock the other person off that persons shoulders."
"I dont have a clue what you just said" Hilde looked at her, clueless.
"I know how to play that game!!!" Relena yelled and swam over to Heero. "Heero, wanna play?"
"No thanks, I'll sit this one out."
"Whats the matter Heero?!" Duo yelled, "Afraid to face me and Jennifer?!!, Afraid you and Relena will lose??!!"
"Allright Duo your mouth has gotten you into enough trouble!! I'ts time I shut you up!!!" Heero yelled and hoisted Relena up onto his shoulders. Relena only squeaked with joy being up there. Duo and Jennifer did the same thing.
"Allright Duo first one to fall wins!!" Heero said.
"Me and Catherine will face the winner!!!!" Trowa yelled.
The two girls interlocked,but Relena,who didnt have a clue about fighting fell over in the first 5 minutes.
"Haha Heero!!!!! You lose!!!!" Duo hollered at Heero who had just come up for breath after falling at the hands of Jennifer.
"NEXT!!!!!!" Trowa yelled and hoisted Catherine up onto his shoulders.
"I'll have you know Jennifer that I am really graceful and wont be as easy as Relena!!" Catherine smiled.
"Hey I resent that Catherine!! I hope Jennifer knocks your block off!!!"
"Knock your block off?" Wufei whispered to Quatre, "Shes so out dated, Hey Onna!!!! You need to get your vocabulary checked!!!! You speak like a fifties girl!!!!!" Wufei yelled at Relena. She came over to him and said
"Oh will you shut your frieking PIE HOLE You stupid China man!!!!!!!"
[Wufei instantly shut up.]
"Hey Relena!!" Quatre called out "I never knew you had it in you to say something that harsh!!!" Quatre smiled at her and focased himself on the match that was still going on.
"Your dead Catherine!!! See you later alligator!!!!" Jennifer yelled giving Catherine a hard push.
"Not for a while crocodile!!!!" Catherine replied returning the push.
"After supper mother fucker!!!!!!!" Jennifer yelled shutting up catherine long enough to push her off Trowa's shoulder.
"Ha ha!!" She yelled, "Success!!! you lose!!"
"Where did that come from???!!!!" Catherine said in surprise from her sudden fall off Trowa's tall slim shoulders.
"Oh thats just another line to that small story"
"Well those tricks wont work on me!!!" Dorothy said hopping back into the pool.
"Time out!!!" Duo yelled, "I need a break!! my shoulders hurt hop off girl."
"See your too fat!!!!" Relena yelled but was thrown into the pool by Heero.
"Hey Heero!! what did you do that for??!!!"
"Oh I just wanted to do that since we got here but couldnt find the right moment." Heero simply smiled at her.
"Hey Heero is really lightening up" Wufei whispered to Quatre.
"Yeah I can see it too. You'd never think to see Heero yuy throw Relena into a pool" Quatre replied.
"Maybe he just got tired of her stupid chatter like he always does" Wufei answered.
"What? Relenas been one of the most quiet people what are you talking about?"
"Well it was just a thought" Wufei shrugged his shoulders and got out of the pool.
"Quatre Get your ass over here!!!!!!!!" Dorothy yelled, "WE have to take down Jennifer!!!!"
"What!!!!!!! I dont think I can lift you!!!! Your bigger than me!!! Let Wufei do it!!"
"What ??!!!" Wufei turned around to see everyone staring at him. Dorothy hopped out og the pool and pushed Wufei back in. Before he knew what was happening Dorothy was already on his shoulder and was shouting out commands.
"I'll not be ordered around by stupid weak women!!!!!!" Wufei yelled and threw Dorothy off his shoulders and swam to the edge of the pool and got out again.
"Quatre!!! She's your girl!! you play with her!!!" Wufei yelled at Quatre who turned red.
"Shes not my girl!" He yelled in a pleading voice.
"Come on Dorothy!!!!" Relena hollered"we'll both beat Jen's butt into the ground and plaster her face on the cement!!"
Wufei laughed at her words and said, "Relena!!! Go buy yourself a new vocabulary!!!!"
Everyone started to laugh.
"Wufei!!!Im gonna kick your ass!!!!" She threw Dorothy off her shoulders and got out of the pool and started after Wufei but she stopped short, "Did I just say ass??!!" Oopps!!!! I-I meant butt!!!!! Im gonna kick your butt Wufei!!!!"
"Hey!!!!!" Dorothy yelled "I need some one to help me!!!!"
"I'll help you!!!" Hilde jumped into the pool. "Besides I owe Jen afew punches."
"You want it?!! Come and get it!!!" Jennifer yelled, "Lets go Duo!!!"
"Right behind you!!"
Thay all got up and started round three.
"That trick wont work on me!!!!"
"Lets see!!!!" Jennifer yelled and pushed Dorothy hard. "see you later alligator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"not for a while crocodile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"after supper mother fucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dorothy pushed Jennifer hard but she didnt fall.
"Whats the matter??!!!" Jennifer asked Dorothy giving her another hard push.
"Well I got one for you!! after you bat yoy big fat BRAT!!!!!!!!!!" Jen yelled
"Right after you winnie the pooh?!!" Dorothy stopped to think and Jennifer pushed her over.
"HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Undefeated!!!!! you lose Dorothy!!!!!"
Then Duo dropped her into the water.
"HEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!! you snooze you lose!!!!!" he yelled as he picked her up and threw her across the pool. This turned into all the boys throwing the girls across the pool. And right in the middle of the game a screaming Wufei came running around the corner and jumped into the pool with Relena still chasing him.
"HHHHHEEEEERRRRRROOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET YOUR GIRLFRIEND AWAY FROM MMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Wufei screamed. Just as Relena ran by Heero he grabbed her around the waist and she stopped short.
"HEERO!!!!! let go!!! I have to get him!!!!!" She pleaded.
"Thats okay you can stop now" he said laughing at her. She calmed down and started panting because she used up all her energy chasing Wufei.
"Heero? Why are you laughing at me?!!"
"I think its bad that a strong man like Wufei would run away from a small thing like you screaming like a little girl" he said with a smile on his face.
"You know Heero you look better when you smile" she said as she looked up into his prussian eyes."
He let go of her waist and got out of the pool. She followed him.
"Heero!" she yelled at him and caught up with his sort of jog up to where the towels were. "Why do you always run away from me like this?"
"Peace."
"Peace?" am I that bad to be around that you always want to run away from me?" she started to cry.
Oh great heero said to himself what should I do now?
"You dont have to cry" he said putting a hand on her shoulder, "your not that bad to be around."
she looked up at him and he smiled at her.
"YAY!! I'm so happy!!" she threw her arms around his neck and stopped crying.
way to go heero he thought, she'll be drooling on you next time she sees you.
They all stayed there until sundown and drove home about 9 o'clock that night.
"Well Heero did you enjoy yourself?"Duo asked witha stupid grinn on his face.
"Yes I did Duo" Heero said plainly.
"I'll bet" Duo said in a low voice and walked up stairs to wash all the chlorine off him, followed by Jennifer.
"What was that about?" she asked him.
"Oh I just got afew pictures of Heero with Relena together."
"Naw for real?!" she said all excited.
"Oh yes, and he didnt even notice I took em."
"Oh you are so mean" she said and they walked into their room.
Chapter 5- preparing
"Do you really want to go on this one?" Duo asked Jennifer one night.
"Yes."
"I cant change your mind?"
"No."
"Well then" He got out of his bed and jumped into hers.
"Wha?"
"Well if your leaving lets spend the night bonding"
"What-?"
He cut her off before she could say anything. So she got up and walked out to the balcony. There was a crescent moon shining down on her face. Duo came out . She turned to face him and was about to say something when he put his hand on her lips and and rubbed his thumb across her botum lip. She stared into his cobalt blue eyes and was unable to move. She felt like she was paralyzed under his gaze and couldnt move because he didnt want her to or because she didnt? Jennifer couldnt find any words for what was happening so she stood there speechless not wanting duo to leave. He kissed her and as he slipped his tongue into her mouth she practically melted into him as he wrapped his arms around her. And as soon as he had slipped onto the balcony he had slipped away into the darkness of the room. She stood there and looked up at the moon and didnt hear Duo move silently across the room to lock the door. Jennifer walked into the pitch black and searched for him, he was standing against the wall with his arms folded across his chest in his black priest outfit. She walked over to him and and returned the favor. She threw her arms around Duo's neck and kissed him passionatly. The two flopped down on the bed without breaking the kiss.
Jennifer abruptly stopped and looked into his eyes to search for an answer. Then she figured it out. hes my soul mate. I've never met anyone like him before, she thought I've never felt this way about anyone before. We belong together.
She went back on with kissing him. Then he rolled her over and went for her shirt. she didnt care, she had no one but him.
She had no family left. Her parents,siblings everyone she loved-all gone. Except for Duo. He really cared for her. Thats why he doesnt want me to go. He loves me For the first time in my life I feel loved, I belong-here-with-Duo. He continued to kiss her and she pulled off his shirt and traced his muscles and ribs that slightly stuck out because he didnt have alot of meat on his bones. Duo continued to kiss her neck and touched the neckless that he gave her for christmas.
"Forever" he whispered into her ear and she whispered the same thing into his.
Around 11:00 the next morning Jennifer woke up on top of Duo, naked with only a sheet on her butt. She thought of the events that happened last night and touched her neckless. A short time later Duo woke up.
"Goodmorning" he said to her as he kissed her shoulder.
"Goodmorning" Jennifer replied with a smile.
"Man what time is it?" he asked.
"That doesnt matter" she said tracing the lines of his chest. He giggled.
"That tickles" he laughed............. "I love you, you know that right"
"Yes and I love you."
"And I'm hungry so lets go see whats cookin" He said and popped out of bed and stretched..
They got dressed and went down stairs.
"Whats wrong with this picture?" Duo said "Where is everyone?"
"Probably minding their own business" Jennifer said, looking around the kitchen.
"Not quite" Trowa said walking into the kitchen. "What time did you two go to bed?"
"Dont ask me"Duo said with a yawn and went to grab a box of cereal.
"Allright Jeni Jen I got all your stuff for this job"
A black man who was about 20 years old walked into the kitchen and set a huge box of equipment on the kitchen table.
"Hey Leo" She said.
"Hi Leo want some orange juice?" Duo asked handing Leo a bottle of sunny delight.
"Sure man" he grabbed it and started explaining the equipment.
"Leo can we do this later. I'm not really awake at the moment" Jennifer yawned.
He looked at her. "You look like hell. What the fuck did you do last night?" he asked looking at her suspiciosly.
"Dont ask."
Leo looked at Duo who was eating Capn crunch then back at her, raised an eye brow and said "I dont want to know."
"Allright I'll go hang out with Heero for a while until you get your head out of the clouds."
"Thanks Leo" was all she said before joining Duo with a bowl of cereal.
Leo walked into the storage room and found Heero making final adjustments to his gundam.
"Yo Heero!" Leo yelled.
"Hey Leo whats up?"
"I got a question."
"shoot."
"Did you know that Jennifer and Duo are sleeping together?"
"No. why?"
"Cause she walked in this morning and she had it written all over her face. Those two did something."
"Just leave them alone. They probably did because shes leaving today to go find the devils eye."
"I got a bad feeling 'bout this job man" Leo said
"Yeah well Duo is going with her so dont worry."
"Heero."
"Yup?"
"Could you go along too?"
"What? why?"
"To keep those two out of trouble, and I was thinkin what better person could protect them more than the perfect soldier."
"I dont-"
"Please man. Jennifers like my baby sister and I'd hate it if anything were to happen to her."
"Allright I'll go"
"Thanks man"
"I dont believe what I'm doing"
Chapter 6-leaving
Chapter1-The Shinigami flies again!
It was around six o'clock in the morning when Duo Maxwell woke
up to the sounds of keys on a keyboard being typed upon and the soft sound
of music.
"Why do you listen to that stuff?" Duo asked looking at his girlfriend
Jennifer Darkfall with sleepy eyes.
"Enya? because its relaxing honey bunny" she replied still staring at Heero's
laptop that she had borrowed from him. "Well its better than listening to rock in the morning because its only six o'clock".
"Well you can listen to it but I'm going back to sleep" he said as he rolled
over and fell back into his deep sleep.
When Duo woke up it was around eleven thirty.
"Whoa! " he yelled as he jumped out of bed and walked into the huge kitchen
of Quatre's mansion to grab some cocoa puffs. "Nobody ever wakes me up!!"
he yelled .
"Because you look like an angel when you sleep and your not supposed to wake
up angels" Jennifer said as she walked into the kitchen to greet him.
"Good morning" she said with a smile and kissed him.
"Good morning. Why didnt you wake me up?"
"Because you looked real tired and you stayed up all night watching tv.
And by the way when you get going Heero wants your help to fix his gundam."
"Whats up with him and that hunk of junk? thats all he ever thinks about
anymore."
"Just because the war is over doesnt mean that all the oz bases and crap
havent been destroyed. We are merely cleaning everything up."
"That war has been over for a year now-"
"Six months" she cut in.
"What do you mean we? you stay here and control things. Its us who do all
the work" he put in.
"So . Just hurry up and finish your breakfast" Jennifer said as she walked
out of the kitchen
"Heero what did you want me for?" Duo asked when he found Heero
walking in the basement that stored all the gundams.
"I need you to climb up into the cockpit and check out the systems while I
download files into it"
"I thought that you could fix your gundam all by yourself and in one night?"
Duo replied to Heero's sudden orders.
"Just get up there."
"Okay okay no need to get all irritated I'm going."
"Whenever I'm around you I'm irritated" Heero growled back.
"Hey I heard that!" Duo yelled down half way up the cord to the cockpit.
"I could get down and find something else to do!"
"Will you quit whining!!!!!!!!! and get up there!!!!!!!!"
"Sorry Heero this is as fast as your string thing goes!!!!!!!"
"Will you quit yapping and do your job!!"
"Yapping? oh my god!!, Heero! your vocabulary is expanding!!! your becoming
more human!!!"
"Whats that supposed to mean?" Quatre said as he walked up to Heero.
"Duo is being a nutcase" Heero answered.
Duo finially got into Wing's cockpit and sat down in the seat.
All he wants me to do is check the system so I'll check the system he said
to himself and a devilish grin swept over his face. "Ha ha!!!!
The Shinigami flies the Wing again!!!!!!!" Duo yelled as he made the gundam
move.
"Duo you idiot!!!!!!!! What the hell do you think your doing?!!!!!! Stop that
now we are down here!!!!!" Heero yelled up at Duo. But when Heero turned
the communicator all he heard was retarded laughing.
"Duo!!!!!!!" Quatre yelled. "He's gone off the deep end!!!!!"
"Well I'll just have to stop him!!!" Heero yelled
"How??!!"
"He will calm down when Jennifer gets on him!" He said heading for the door.
"Jennifer!!! where are you!!!"
"In here" she called from the library. " What is it?"
"Your boyfriends gone bazerk! we cant stop him!"
"Oh what has my honey bunny gotten himself into now" she said following Heero.
When they got to the basement Jennifer saw Duo playing around with
the mobile suit.
"Duo!!! Get your butt out of there right now before you hurt someone!!!!!!!!
you arent the only one here!!!!!!!!!" she yelled at him. The gundam immediatly
stopped.
"Hiya Jenny!!!! whats up?!!" Duo yelled at her.
"Get your butt out of there!!"
"What?!! I'm checking the systems for Heero!!!!!"
"You airhead!!!!!! Not like that!!!!!" Heero yelled at Duo.
The door opened and duo came out on the cord.
"Hey Heero I think you need to get this thing fixed!! Its way too slow!!!"
When he finially got down to the ground Heero was furious and getting redder
by the minute.
"Ooh Duo You are an IDIOT!!!!!!!" Heero yelled at Duo. "Who do you think you
are??!!!! I ask you to fix my systems-"
"Check your systems" Duo put in "and thats what I did in a different way."
"ugh I meant check for viruses and things while I downloaded files into the
system!!"
"Allright thats enough" Jennifer cut in. "Whats done is done nobody got hurt
and thats what counts."
"Jennifer will you take this animal somewhere to burn all that energy?"
Heero asked.
"Yeah! lets go to the park Jennifer!!" Duo squeaked happily.
"You are so childish sometimes" she said as he came up to her. I have just
afew more files to go through then we'll go somewhere."
"Cool"Duo yelled and followed her out .
"Thank god thats over" Heero sighed with relief. "Quatre will you help me?"
"Sure this should be easier with that banchie gone."
So Heero and Quatre worked on Wing in peace without Duo.
Chapter2-Coffee Crisis
Upstairs Duo watched Jennifer type away on the laptop. He smiled and
let out a sigh of happiness that he didnt have to do anything and that he was
there spending time with Jennifer. He looked at her. She had bags of sleep
around her eyes.
"Hey Jen."
"yes?"
"You got the bags man."
"What?" she looked at him with a smirk.
"You got the sleepy bags around your eyes. What time did you get up this morning?"
"Five o'clock."
"Good lord! you went to bed right before me! girl you need more sleep than that."
"Finished!. Lets go to the park and burn some energy."
"You have to have energy to burn. Did you eat breakfast?"
"No."
"Allright missy!!" Duo said as he popped up from his seat.
"Its noon!! Lets go make a pot of coffee and get you some cocoa puffs to give
you some energy!!" He grabbed her arm and pulled her into the kitchen.
He got her a bowl of cocoa puffs and made her eat them. Then he made them
a pot of coffee and sat down next to her.
"Duo why do you have a glass of milk and coffee?" she asked staring at him.
"To wash the coffee down because its too hot."
She continued to look at him unit she burst out laughing from his stupidity.
"What are you laughing at? eat your cocoa puffs before I finish them."
"I'm getting there."
After Jennifer finished the cereal she started to sip the coffee.Duo, who was already on his second cup said,
"We're never gonna get to the park if you drink it like that. Gulp it down
woman!!"
"Allright!!" she yelled as she poured a whole bunch of milk into her glass
and gulped it down.
After about two pots worth of coffee the two were bouncing off the walls.
"Allright lets go to the park go get in the car" Jennifer told Duo as she
went to the basement to tell Heero that they were leaving.
At the park Duo immediatly ran to the slide with the cover.
"Yahooooo!!!!!!!!!" he yelled as his voice carried all the way down the
slide. Just as he got to the bottom of the slide Jennifer crashed into him with her back.
"Surprise!!!!" she yelled
"Ooh I'll get you back!!" he yelled as he jumped out of the slide and ran
around to do it again. This time he crashed face first into her.
"Youch!!" Jennifer yelped out as she jumped out of the slide leaving Duo
in there laughing.
"Hey wait for me we'll go down together!!!" Duo wailed as he hopped out of
the slide and caught her. "Gotcha!!!" he yelled as he spinned her around
with his hands around her waist.
"Allright lets go!!" they ran up the stairs and flew down the slide.
Since Duo was in front he stopped with the grip of his hands and shoes.
"Hey you stopped the ride!!" Jennifer yelled pushing on Duo's back.
He laughed and laid back on her. "Hey!! I'm stuck now because your laying
on my feet!!!!" she laughed.
"Thats the purpose!!" he giggled.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" she looked at him. He was laying on her
and staring at her big deep royal blue eyes.
"You have pretty eyes" he said.
"Look whos talking" she said staring into his cobalt blue ones.
"Why thank you" he said in a silly voice. Then she bent over and kissed
him and they stayed there in the slide.
Back at the mansion, Trowa and Wufei had just come back from the
home depot. They walked into the kitchen and saw a bowl, two coffee cups
and a pot.
"What happened here?" Trowa asked.
"I probably dont want to know" Wufei replied.
"Oh well lets get these parts to Heero before he has a fit, knowing him"
Trowa said as he walked to the basement door.
"Heero we got your parts" Wufei said as he walked up to Heero.
"Good. Bring them here."
"Its way too quiet. Wheres Duo?" Trowa asked looking around the place.
"Jennifer took him to the park to burn some energy" Quatre said walking up
to them. Yeah the boy decided to play with Wing instead of work."
"That sounds like that fool" Wufei said.
"Well lets hope that Jennifer keeps him out long enough for us to get the
repairs done. That boy can be the most annoying person when he has too much energy"
Herro said looking at Wing Zero.
"Hey Heero what happened to your Zero one?"Quatre asked .
"That split personallity woman went and saved treize with it and demolished
it" Wufei said.
"Well lets get to work before we lose daylight" Trowa said as he walked over
to Heero's mobile suit.
It was about eight thirty when Jennifer and Duo finially came back.
"Gosh you sure are a spendahollic" Jennifer said walking in to the livingroom
with three bags of clothes.
"Yeah well I know how to dress."
"Really expensivley" she told him setting the bags down on the couch.
"Well its not my fault you have such cheap taste!" he laughed at her.
"I do not!!! I just dont buy this much at a time!!!"
"Whatever!! half of these bags are yours!!"
"Whatever."
"Where have you two been?" Heero asked while walking into the room.
"Out shopping" Duo said.
"For eight hours?"
"No only about four. We spent alot of time at the park" Jennifer blurted out
before Duo could say anything stupid.
"And what were you doing at the park?" Heero asked with questioning eyes.
"Oh we just-"
"We played at the playground" Jennifer cut Duo off.
"I dont believe you" Heero said and walked out of the room.
"Oh one of these days your mouth is going to get you in trouble Duo."
"Nah come on lets get these clothes upstairs. Come on lets go." Duo said,
picking up his bags and urging her on.
"I'm coming I'm coming."
Chapter 3- The Dark Project
Even though Jennifer stayed behind during every mission she was still
a very important person to the group. She did all the computer stuff plus
she was a profesional thief.
At supper that night they were simply talking about everything else but
missions. Suddenly Jennifer's beeper went off.
"I'll be back in a minute. I have to go check something" she said getting up
from the table. She ran to her room where the computer was and clicked it
on and it started talking about a very rare stone called the devils eye.
It was a huge ruby cut into a dragon shape and it was bigger than her hand.
"Wow. I'll get some big bucks for that one. Allright where is it?"
She played around on the computer and found the location. "The cave of Gods
in Greece? I've never heard of that one before. But nevertheless this one
should be worth the while." She saved the information to a disk and headed down stairs.
"what was that about?" Quatre asked.
"A job" she answered.
"What do you have to steal this time?" Duo asked suspiciously.
"Its a huge ruby,bigger than the size of your fist. Its called the Devils eye
but its carved onto the shape of a dragon."
"Hmm,a dragon. I get it,a red dragon" Quatre said.
"What does a red dragon have to do with her job?" Wufei asked.
"Dungeuns and dragons"
"What?"Duo looked at Quatre clueless.
"What?! youve never played the game dungeons and Dragons?"
"No" was all he got for a response.
"Allright. Listen and learn Dungeuns and dragons is a medevil game.
Its kindof like an RPG game except its not on a system like playstation.
Its a game that is played with characters thet you get to pick out of a book
liks the name Asmodeus meaning arch devil." Quatre explained what the game was
about and how red dragons were evil and were used by the devil and such.
After he was done explaining they all heard a snoring sound. They all looked to
the end of the table and saw Duo sleeping.
"Duo! you brat why did you fall asleep?" Quatre asked.
"Huh?" Duo looked up with sleepy eyes. "Because Im tired ok? And your story
was too boring to stay awake through, and besides I dont play games that
arent on systems like dragons and whatever."
"Yeah I guess we should all turn in for the night. Its been a long day"
Jennifer said getting up. "Come on Duo,your not going to fall asleep at the
table again." She got him out of his chair and walked him up to his room.
"Allright then guys I'll see you in the morning" Trowa said with a yawn and
headed to his room. Soon after they all left the dining room and headed to bed.
Jennifer finially got Duo to their room she layed him down on his bed. "Gosh Duo you sure do weigh alot."
"Im not fat."
"I know your not." She grabbed her nightshirt and went to the bathroom to
change. When she came out Duo had already changed into his mid thigh length t-shirt.
"What are you doing?" she asked when she saw Duo in her bed.
"Warming it up for you."
"Oh you are so strange sometimes. Its summer" She walked over to the bed and sat down on
the bed. "Oyasumi nasai Duo."
"I didnt know you could speak Japanese"
"Well Im living in a house with abunch of Japs sooner or later I would have to
learn the language and besides I only know afew words."
"Ok. Goodnight Jenny" he said.
"Hello, This is my bed."
"Oh just for one night." He said as he wrapped his arms around her and
layed back down."Please"
"Fine but no monkey business."
"Sure"and he closed his eyes.
At about one o'clock Duo woke up drenched in sweat. He looked at Jennifer.
"Just a bad dream." He stroked her face and layed down. "Man I cant sleep."
He got up and went to take a shower.
Jennifer woke up,being a light sleeper heard the shower and saw that Duo wasnt
in bed. She got up and went into the bathroom.
"Duo, are you allright?"
"Yeah. Just another nightmare,except this one was bad"
"It seems like they are getting worse every night" She said,sitting down on
the toilet. "did you wake up all sweaty again?"
"Yeah."
"Well do you want to tell me about it?"
"Its allright."
"Duo I know you have alot of vitality but sometimes you just need to talk to
somebody."
"I'll be fine."
"Your lieing."
"I know I am. Jen,"
"Yeah?"
"I dont think its a good idea for you to go on this job."
"Why not? Is that what your dream was about?"
"Yeah but it was real bad. You were killed and I couldnt save you because I
wasnt fast enough. Hades swallowed you up."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Dont worry about it."
"I think I have a right to know. I mean I want to know why I shouldnt go on this mission."
"Allright." Duo got out of the shower and all he had on was a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Come on I dont want to stay in the bathroom" He put his wet arm around her and they
walked out of the bathroom.
"Go wait on the balcony for me" He told her while he grabbed a clean night
shirt and toweled off.
Jennifer walked out to the balcony in silence and sat on the bench.
There was a full moon outside and it reflected off Jennifer's blonde hair
and face and made her shimmer. Duo finially walked out to the balcony and saw how
pretty she was and it made him feel worse that he might lose her if she went on this job.
"Its a pretty nice night tonight isnt it?" He said as he sat down next to her
on the stone bench.
"Yeah beautiful and clear" she said. "I know how you love to stargaze."
"Well anyway what was your dream about?"
"Allright. It started off like this, you went to the cave and walked
inside it and it had abunch of letters on the ground."
"Letters on the ground?"
"Letters of the alphabet." He got down and showed her what he meant.
"And on the wall there was a sign in latin that the word of God."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Listen,Do you know what the word of God is? Its a trick question and you
figured it out. It wasnt the word of God it was the name of God."
"Jehova."
"Exactly, so you stepped on the J and fell through but I caught you before
you fell all the way down. Then you figured out your mistake because in latin-"
"That word begins with an I"
"Yeah." The he yawned. "Can I finish it tomarrow?"
"No, You just dont want to tell me what happened."
"Yes and no."
"Please? Duo I have to leave in afew days to complete this job and I
want to know what happens."
"Allright allright I'll finish."
He finially finished his story and just stayed there looking up at the moon.
"So are you still going to go?" He asked
"I dont know." They lost track of time and stayed up all night. "Lets not
worry about that right now. Lets just get some sleep." She scooted closer
to him and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Good idea" He put his arm around her and rested his head on her and fell
asleep just as the sun was beginning to rise.
It was about noon when Trowa went into Jennifer's bedroom and saw
that they were sleeping the bench.
"Well where they?" Heero asked walking into the room.
"Sleeping."
"Oh. I guess they stayed up all night. Probably another nightmare."
"Does he ever tell you what they are about?" Trowa asked.
"No. He probably doesnt even tell Jennifer."
"Well lets let them sleep" Trowa said as he closed the door.
Duo woke up with the warm sun burning down on his face. He looked
at Jennifer who was still sleeping soundly on his shoulder. He hugged her
tightly and looked over the balcony toward the Cinq Kingdom which had been
rebuilt. Relena had moved back into the palace. He wondered why Quatre had
a house so close to the Cinq Kingdom. About five minutes later Jennifer
woke up and looked at Duo.
"Good morning sunshine" he said smiling at her.
"Good morning. Gosh the sun sure is bright today, apropiate for summer."
"Yup. Come on lets go down stairs before we fry."
"Good idea."
Chapter 4-The Picnic
Jennifer changed into a purple spagetti strap tanktop and white
short shorts. Duo put on a white shirt and grey shorts. She quickly braided
his yard of chesnut brown hair and they both went down to get some breakfast.
"What time did you two go to sleep?" Trowa asked looking up from the televison
as he saw them walk down.
"Dont ask me" Duo said.
"Well you fell asleep on the bench I just thought that the room might have
been too hot or something."
"No Duo was just telling me his nightmare."
"He actually told you one?" Heero asked walking into the room with grease on
his hands from working on the car.
"Yeah because it was about my job and this ruby."
"Hey Heero did the car break down?" Duo asked laughing at Heero.
"Yeah but we cant find the problem. Your the mechanic why dont you come look at
it?"
"Later I have to eat."
"Jennifer if your shorts were any shorter you'd be advertising" Duo said looking at her shorts.
"Well I dont like to wear long or loose things, and I especially hate long
shorts" She said acting sassy. "And it doesnt matter if Im advertising because theres
no one around and I'm not going anywhere.
Just as Jennifer was giong to go eat breakfast the door bell rang.
"I wonder who that could be" Quatre said.
"I'll get it" Heero said walking to the door. As he opened the door Relena stood
there in very short shorts and a yellow tanktop.
"Hello Heero" She said with a smile.
"Miss Relena, please come in" Quatre smiled and greeted her.
"Thank you!" she said happily and walked into the living room.
"Hey Relena and Jennifer both wear the same size shorts!!" Duo yelled as he
walked into the room.
"Duo!" Jennifer yelled popping her head into the room. "Oh hello" she said
walking over to Relena. "I'm Jennifer Darkfall,Duo's girlfriend."
"I'm Relena Peacekraft of the Cinq Kingdom."
"See look they both wear the same size!" Duo shouted.
"Duo stop being a brat!" Jennifer gave him a mean look.
"Well I'm just trying to crack a joke."
"Well you did" Trowa said with a laugh.
"Well atleast somebody appreciates my jokes."
"So what brings you here Relena?" Quatre asked
"Oh just to invite you to a picnic tomarrow. I'ts so boring at the Cinq Kingdom and
I havent talked to you all in a while. Do you want to go?"
Sure! Is there going to be food?" Duo yelled with excitement.
"Yes there will be plenty Of food" Relena giggled.
"Then count me in! Do you want to go Jenny?"
"Why not."
"We will be there" Quatre spoke for the group.
"Great! Heres the time. See you then!" She handed Duo a piece of paper and left.
"Heero are you going to go?" Quatre asked.
"Probably not"
"Why not?! Yuo cant do that besides this was the first time she wasnt annoying!!
you have to go!" Duo yelled.
"Allright I'll go."
"Great" Quatre said.
"Now Duo come help me work on the car so we can get there atleast" Heero said.
"Allright, lets go."
The two went out to the car and Duo looked at the engine.
"Hmmn I'll have to get in there and take a closer look."
"We think it might be the engine" Heero said messing with it.
"It could be a number of things. I wont know until I get in there."
"Here" Heero handed Duo a pair of overalls. "I dont think you want grease
on your white shirt."
Duo put the overalls on right there and slid under the car.
"So Heero what did you think of Relena's outfit?"
"I'm not answering that."
"Why not? Did you think she looked good?"
"Shut up."
"Come on Heero, you can tell me
"Will you ever shut up?"
"Not until I get what I want"
"Ok ok to make you shut up. Yes she looked cute in that outfit."
"I know what you mean. You'd never think to see Relena Peacekraft in that
kind of outfit."
"Yeah. I guess she decided to get out of the ESUN for a while and start
living like a regular girl again."
"A regular girl living with you" Duo snickered. Heero kicked him for that.
"OW!!! Geeze Heero! That hurt!" Duo yelped.
"That will teach you to make stupid remarks like that."
"What?! I always make stupid remarks like that! But you never kicked me before!
Damn! I'm giong to have a bruise there!"
Heero just laughed. "Serves you right."
"I'll get you back."
"Duo, Close your mouth and get to work."
"Yes sir great Heero Yuy" Duo said sarcasticly and kicked Heero in the shin hard.
"Ow!" Heero yelled
"HA! see told you I'd get you back!"
They finially shut up and got to work.
About an hour later Jennifer came out with lunch for them.
"Lunch time! Its one o'clock!" She said stopping infront of the car.
"Ooh great I'm starving!" Duo came out from under the car and
reached to get a sandwich.
"Oh no! Go wash your hands first!" She screeched.
"Allright allright" Duo replied and kissed her putting his greasy hands on her
face smearing it on her.
"Duo!! You Dork!" Jennifer yelled punching him slightly hard.
He just laughed at her and rubbed the spot where she had punched him.
They all went inside and Heero and Duo washed their hands.
"Take off those overalls too" She said taking a bite of a ham sandwich.
"Chill woman I'm getting there" Duo said. The three stayed in the kitchen eating lunch
for an hour before going back outside to continue working on the car.
Wufei walked into the kitchen and saw Jennifer.
"What happened to you?" he asked looking at the grease marks on her face
"Duo took it upon himself to wipe grease on my face. And whats worse,Heero laughed at me."
Wufei stood there for afew seconds then cracked up laughing. Quatre and Trowa,
who were in the library heard Wufei's excessive laughing and came to see what he was laughing
at because that was something that he never did at all.
"Whats going on here?" Trowa asked seeing Wufei red with tears running down
his face from laughing so hard.
"Oh Look!" Wufei said between laughs and pointed to Jennifer who was covering her
face with her hands.
"Jennifer, whats wrong?" Quatre said in a soft and concerned voice walking over to Jennifer.
She pulled her hands from her face and revealed the grease marks.
"Oh my god." was all he said before bursting out laughing.
"Its not funny!!!"She yelled and stood up. She was yay close to crying now.
She turned to Trowa and looked at him for afew seconds before he did the same thing
as the other two were doing.
"I'ts not funny!!" Jennifer yelled with tears running down her face. She took off
to her room and lockd the door behind her and ran to her bathroom to try and scrub the
stuff off.
"They are so mean! it wasnt funny at all" she cried. The grease wasnt coming off
so she used nail polish remover and finially got it all off but it left her face all red.
Jennifer stared at herself in the mirror and broke cown crying. She walked to the bed and
went to sleep.
By six o'clock Duo and Heero had fixed the car,with Duo doing most
of the work thanks to Heero.
"Wheres Jennifer?" Duo asked looking at Wufei. The boy just burst out laughing
and scared the crap out of Duo and made Heero jump. Soon after the other two
did the same thing and the room was filled with laughter.
"Hey!!" Duo yelled "What in the hell is going on in here?!"
Go up to your room and find out!" Wufei hollered. "No wait you already know
because you did it!"
"Did what?"
"Put the grease on Jennifer's face!" Trowa yelled.
"Oh great" Duo said and ran up the stairs to his room but the door was locked.
"Jennifer? are you in there?" he asked.
"Just go away."
"Are you allright?"
"No."
"Can I come in?"
"No."
"Its my room too."
The door unlocked and Duo walked in. The entire room was dark except for the
light of the setting sun through the open doors of the balcony. Jennifer was lying on her bed.
"Whats wrong?" Duo asked walking over to the bed and sitting down on it.
"Forget it" she said looking out the doors at the setting sun.
"There obviously is something wrong."
"They all laughed at me" Jennifer said with tears swelling in her eyes. "They all
laughed at me" she said,crying.
"Its okay" he said lifting her up to hold her. "Its okay"
Jennifer just sat there in Duo's arms with uncontrolable tears falling
down her face.
"Sshh. It's okay your fine."
"No I'm not" she cried. "You put the grease on my face and they started laughing at me"
Jennifer said between sobs.
"I'm sorry" he said in a soft voice. Duo continued to rock her back and forth
and they stayed there until the sun went down.
The next day came quickly. Every one fell asleep in different areas of
the house. Trowa fell asleep on the couch reading the paper, Quatre fell asleep in the library
in his reading chair,Wufei went to sleep at the kitchen table and Heero fell
asleep in front of the television on a couch. Duo fell asleep with Jennifer,who had cried herself
to sleep in his arms.
About nine o'clock Heero woke up with a major crick in his neck.
"Oh man, that was a bad idea to fall asleep on the couch" he said and walked
into the living room to find Trowa on the couch with the paper on his chest.
Then Heero walked into the kitchen and found Wufei sleeping in a puddle of
drool.
"Hey Wufei wake up your going to ruin the wood table if you keep drooling."
"Wha?" Wufei looked up at Heero,still practicaly asleep.
"Here. Clean up your mess" Heero passed Wufei a wet paper towel. He cleaned it up and
went back to sleep.
Back up in Duos room the sun was rising still. Duo had woken up and was
stroking Jennifers hair off her face which was still slightly damp from crying.
He really didnt want her to go on this mission but he knew she wouldnt listen.
He glanced at the clock,it was nine thirty.
"Jen" he whispered in her ear. "Jen wake up we have to go to the picnic at noon."
She opened her eyes and looked into his cobalt blue eyes.
"What is it?"
"We have to go to Relena's picnic today."
Duo got off the bed and stretched.
"I dont want to go down there" she said getting up to close the balcony doors.
"Do you feel better?" he asked as he walked over to her and put his arms around her waist.
"Yeah."
"Thats good" he rested his head on her shoulders.
"Come on lets go kick their butts" He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the door and they went downstairs.
"Good morning prince drool-alot" Duo said to Wufei as he walked into the kitchen to find him drooling again.
"Ugh I already made him clean it up one time already. Wufei get your butt up and clean up
your mess again" Heero said starting to get agrivated.
"yeah yeah I'm up" Wufei said and started to clean up his mess for the second time.
He looked up and saw Jennifer then burst out laughing at the sight of her red face.
She slapped him HARD in the face and left a red mark on his cheek. Jennifers face was red not only from using
all that nail polish remover but also from crying all last night. The other two boys walked into the kitchen
all sleepy eyed and saw Wufei rubbing a very red spot on his cheek.
"Wufei what happened to your face?" Trowa asked
"Jennifer slapped me."
"Man, that looks like that hurt" Quatre said.
"It did you fool."
Duo just sat there holding back his laughter which was about to explode until
he couldnt help it any more. He burst out laughing.
"Injustise!!!" Wufei yelled and turned red
"So now you know how it feels!" Jennifer yelled at Wufei
"Yeah but he didnt run to his room crying" Trowa said. Oops,sor-"
Jennifer slapped him right in the face as hard as she did Wufei.
"Allright lets stop the voilence and concentrate on getting to Relena's picnic" Quatre said.
The breakfast table was a sight . Trowa and Wufei were rubbing their very red cheeks and whimpering,
Heero was sitting in silence but he was thinking about the bruise that was on his shin and Duo was
giggling to himself that Trowa and Wufei got slapped. Jennifer was silent but
she was pleased with herself for slapping the boys but in other words was feeling better.
Everyone went to their rooms to get ready for the picnic. Jennifer was in the shower and Duo was
brushing his teeth
"Hey Jen huwy up" Duo said with a mouth full of tooth paste.
She let out a laugh. "I'm almost done Duo" She grabbed her towel,wrapped it around her and got out of the
shower.
"Could you take any longer?" Duo asked while undoing his braid.
"Yes I could get back in if you wanted to"
"Sure but I'll be in there too!" He said with a smile plastered on his face.
"I'ts okay I have to brush my teeth and get dressed. you go ahead."
"suit yourself" He hopped into the shower and threw his clothes over the bar that
held up the almost clear shower curtain. Then he turned on the shower
"Yeaow!!!!!" Duo screamed.
"Whats wrong?" Jennifer asked
"Damn thats Cold!!!" He screeched
All Jennifer did was laugh. Suddenly the bedroom door burst open and Trowa ran in
"What was that noise?!"
"Oh you just heard Duo scream because the water in the tub is very cold" Jennifer said smiling.
"Allright. I was just making sure-"
"Nothing happened yes I know.We're allright."
Trowa walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Jennifer went back to brushing her teeth and getting ready
It was hotter today than it was yesterday so they all were in shorts.
Heero was in a white short sleeve with blue jean shorts,Wufei was wearing his
blue tanktop withblack shorts,Duo was in a red tanktop with kacki shorts,Jennifer was wearing
a white spagetti strap tanktop with short jean shorts. So in other words they were all dressed the same.
By noon they were all at Relena's. She met them in the front field and yes she was
wearing the same thing as everyone else.
"Hello everybody!" Relena said walking up to them.
"Good afternoon Relena" Quatre said getting out of the driver seat of the blue limo that they came in.
"Nice car. Is it yours?" she asked.
"Yeah," Duo replied, "He's the only one who can afford one."
"Actually I could" Jennifer pipped up, "Ya'know with my job."
"Of course you could. You could practically have anything you wanted" Duo said grinning at her.
They all walked over to the very large picnic table that was filled entirely with food.
"Wow onna did you cook all this yourself?" Wufei asked eyeing all the food.
"No actually. Everyone else did, I mean all my cooks. By the way whats an onna?"
Heero couldnt help but laugh at this one. Duo looked at him and saw that the boy was trying hard to hide his silent laughter.
"Its no good Heero. Just let it out" Duo said looking at him weird.
Heero's laughter was followed by an injustice which made Jennifer start to giggle.
"You dont know what onna means?" Jennifer asked Relena who was staring at Heero in shock.
"huh?" she said, snapping out of her tranz. "No. Could you please tell me?"
"Sure onna means woman in japanese."
"Well now that we have that out of the way lets eat" Relena said starting for the table.
"I couldnt agree with you more on that subject!" Duo exclaimed and ran to the table as if to get the best seat.
"I think you really over did it Relena" Heero said walking next to her.
"No. You can eat all you want-"
"Sure!!!!!" yelled Duo interupting Relena.
"Duo!" Jennifer gave him a smirk but also giggled at his remark.
"What?! my stomach is growling."
"But you just ate not even two hours ago."
They sat there and argued in a silly manner and Relena grabbed Heero's arm.
He looked at her in surprise and was about to say let go but was cut off.
"Heero will you sit by me?" she asked smiling at him sweetly.
Trowa smiled at him and said go on with his lips. Heero gave a low growl and let Relena lead him to the end of the table. After
they all had settled down in a seat Relena said,
"So Jennifer, what do you do?"
"Oh I'm a thief" she said putting down a chicken leg.
"A thief?" Relena looked akward at her. "You steal from other people to make your life better?" She gulped thinking of all her
highly expensive things.
"Yeah" Jennifer said sensing the nervousness that was beginning to show on Relenas face. Thinking quick she added, "But I dont
steal from close friends or people I know."
Thank God Relena said to herself.
"You looked alittle worried there" Jennifer said.
"I've never met a thief before."
"Never?"
"No."
"You see there are several kinds of thiefs. Some thiefs get to know a person and gain their trust then, go in for the kill."
"Are you that kind of person?"
"Oh no I only steal from people I dont know. Because if I dont I feel really guilty. So dont feel scared around me K? cause I dont steal from friends."
"Okay, just wanted to clear that up you know"
"Yeah people ask those kinds of questions."
"I'm really happy you came Heero" Relena whispered over to Heero.
"Why?"
"I really love to see you Heero"
"Why?"
Dont you get it silly? I like you"
Heero stared into her blue eyes and searched for an answer but couldnt find one. I dont get it, he said to himself, why does she like me so much? I'm the guy who tries to kill her. Heero snapped back into reality when he felt something move up his leg.
Relena sat there smiling at him and he knew it was her.
"Oh man that was great!" Duo said, stretching. "It really hit the spot."
Heero looked over at him then at Relena whos foot had moved further up his leg. What should I do? he thought should I let her or should I move? he couldnt think so he went along with her.
A hello was heard as several girls walked up to the table and sat down next to the boys.
"Hi girls how are you?" Relena asked looking up from Heero's gaze, greeting Dorothy,Catherine and Hilde who had just sat down.
"Hi there" Dorothy said and sat down next to Quatre who was blushing alittle.
"Hi Duo" Hilde said smiling at him but before he could say anything his kneecap was pinched and he laughed.
"What did you do that for?" He asked looking at Jennifer who was smiling. He knodded his head and simply said hello to Hilde.
The new guests filled up on food and Wufei broke the silence.
"So onna, what should we do now?" a piece of cake was thrown at his face. Duo giggled and looked in the other direction as Wufei looked at him.
"INJUSTICE!!!!!!!!" he hollered but was interrupted as a pie was thrown at him. Duo cracked and almost fell over with laughter but was cut short as a piece of chicken hit his tanktop.
"HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled and a big food fight broke out.
After there was more food on the grass than on the table they all went to the hose to wash all the food off themselves. While they were doing this they heard a scream and saw Catherine in the huge in ground pool and Trowa standing on the cement laughing.
"Hey thats what we can do!" Relena shouted, "Lets go swimming!"
"With what?" Hilde asked, "We forgot out suits."
"I have plenty lets go pick out some."
"Why not" Dorothy said and followed everyone in.
"HEY!!!! Can someone get me a suit too?!!!" Catherine yelled from the pool.
"Yeah I'll bring you one!!" Relena yelled.
They went inside and found the skimpiest swimsuits that Relena had. Mean while the boys were in a seperate room picking out their suits.
"Oohh a blue one! that ones mine!! and its a bikini too!!" Jennifer cried and grabbed a blue two piece bikini with blue hawiian flowers on it. She jumped up to go change. Thay all picked out their suits and went to change. The boys were already finished and were already out in the pool by the time the girls were finially finished.
"Here Catherine you can get changed in the pool house cause your already wet!" Relena yelled handing her a red two piece bikini and pointing to the small pool house. Catherine frowned and went to the pool house to change. They all came out.
"Wheres Jennifer?" Duo asked Relena.
"Shes still changing, wait there she is."
Jennifer came out in her skimpy little bathing suit. Duos eyes went wide when he saw her.
"Wow" he said as she jumped into the pool and splashed everyone.
"I told you she got the prettiest one!" Hilde whined at Dorothy.
"Well you werent fast enough and I got it!" she said wiping her hair out of her face. "So Duo, what do you think?, do you like it?"
"Uh huh" he said staring at her.
"Great!!I'm so happy!! Do you think I look better in this suit than Hilde would?"
"uh huh"
Hilde turned red with jealousy "HEY!!!" she yelled and started to chase Jennifer around the pool.
"Who wants drinks?!!" Heero yelled from a table with a plate of glasses.
"I do!" Relena said walking over to him to take off her shoes. He looked at her in a funny way and handed her a glass.
"Why thank you Heero."
"Hey you two!! Quit flirting and get into the pool!!!!" Duo yelled at them. Then Jenifer jumped onto his back and threw her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. '"Lets Go play!!!"
"Well what did you have in mind" he said as he turned around to face her.
"Hmmn how about volley ball!"
"I'll go for that" Heero c'mon we're gonna play vollay ball!!!! Hurry up and get in here!!!!!" he yelled.
"Well do you wanna play volley ball Heero?"
"Sure I have to kick Duo's ass anyway."
"Yippee!!!!!" she grabbed his arm and started to run toward the pool.
They set up the net and split up into teams.
"I wanna surf first!!" Relena hollered. They passed her the ball and the game was on. About two or three hours later Relenas team won leaving Wufei hollering "INJUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!" at her for losing to a weak onna which was what he called her.
After that they just swam.
"Oohh!! Lets play chicken!!!!" Dorothy yelled coming up from under water.
"What?!!" Hilde said.
"You put two people on two other peoples shoulders and the people on top try to knock the other person off that persons shoulders."
"I dont have a clue what you just said" Hilde looked at her, clueless.
"I know how to play that game!!!" Relena yelled and swam over to Heero. "Heero, wanna play?"
"No thanks, I'll sit this one out."
"Whats the matter Heero?!" Duo yelled, "Afraid to face me and Jennifer?!!, Afraid you and Relena will lose??!!"
"Allright Duo your mouth has gotten you into enough trouble!! I'ts time I shut you up!!!" Heero yelled and hoisted Relena up onto his shoulders. Relena only squeaked with joy being up there. Duo and Jennifer did the same thing.
"Allright Duo first one to fall wins!!" Heero said.
"Me and Catherine will face the winner!!!!" Trowa yelled.
The two girls interlocked,but Relena,who didnt have a clue about fighting fell over in the first 5 minutes.
"Haha Heero!!!!! You lose!!!!" Duo hollered at Heero who had just come up for breath after falling at the hands of Jennifer.
"NEXT!!!!!!" Trowa yelled and hoisted Catherine up onto his shoulders.
"I'll have you know Jennifer that I am really graceful and wont be as easy as Relena!!" Catherine smiled.
"Hey I resent that Catherine!! I hope Jennifer knocks your block off!!!"
"Knock your block off?" Wufei whispered to Quatre, "Shes so out dated, Hey Onna!!!! You need to get your vocabulary checked!!!! You speak like a fifties girl!!!!!" Wufei yelled at Relena. She came over to him and said
"Oh will you shut your frieking PIE HOLE You stupid China man!!!!!!!"
[Wufei instantly shut up.]
"Hey Relena!!" Quatre called out "I never knew you had it in you to say something that harsh!!!" Quatre smiled at her and focased himself on the match that was still going on.
"Your dead Catherine!!! See you later alligator!!!!" Jennifer yelled giving Catherine a hard push.
"Not for a while crocodile!!!!" Catherine replied returning the push.
"After supper mother fucker!!!!!!!" Jennifer yelled shutting up catherine long enough to push her off Trowa's shoulder.
"Ha ha!!" She yelled, "Success!!! you lose!!"
"Where did that come from???!!!!" Catherine said in surprise from her sudden fall off Trowa's tall slim shoulders.
"Oh thats just another line to that small story"
"Well those tricks wont work on me!!!" Dorothy said hopping back into the pool.
"Time out!!!" Duo yelled, "I need a break!! my shoulders hurt hop off girl."
"See your too fat!!!!" Relena yelled but was thrown into the pool by Heero.
"Hey Heero!! what did you do that for??!!!"
"Oh I just wanted to do that since we got here but couldnt find the right moment." Heero simply smiled at her.
"Hey Heero is really lightening up" Wufei whispered to Quatre.
"Yeah I can see it too. You'd never think to see Heero yuy throw Relena into a pool" Quatre replied.
"Maybe he just got tired of her stupid chatter like he always does" Wufei answered.
"What? Relenas been one of the most quiet people what are you talking about?"
"Well it was just a thought" Wufei shrugged his shoulders and got out of the pool.
"Quatre Get your ass over here!!!!!!!!" Dorothy yelled, "WE have to take down Jennifer!!!!"
"What!!!!!!! I dont think I can lift you!!!! Your bigger than me!!! Let Wufei do it!!"
"What ??!!!" Wufei turned around to see everyone staring at him. Dorothy hopped out og the pool and pushed Wufei back in. Before he knew what was happening Dorothy was already on his shoulder and was shouting out commands.
"I'll not be ordered around by stupid weak women!!!!!!" Wufei yelled and threw Dorothy off his shoulders and swam to the edge of the pool and got out again.
"Quatre!!! She's your girl!! you play with her!!!" Wufei yelled at Quatre who turned red.
"Shes not my girl!" He yelled in a pleading voice.
"Come on Dorothy!!!!" Relena hollered"we'll both beat Jen's butt into the ground and plaster her face on the cement!!"
Wufei laughed at her words and said, "Relena!!! Go buy yourself a new vocabulary!!!!"
Everyone started to laugh.
"Wufei!!!Im gonna kick your ass!!!!" She threw Dorothy off her shoulders and got out of the pool and started after Wufei but she stopped short, "Did I just say ass??!!" Oopps!!!! I-I meant butt!!!!! Im gonna kick your butt Wufei!!!!"
"Hey!!!!!" Dorothy yelled "I need some one to help me!!!!"
"I'll help you!!!" Hilde jumped into the pool. "Besides I owe Jen afew punches."
"You want it?!! Come and get it!!!" Jennifer yelled, "Lets go Duo!!!"
"Right behind you!!"
Thay all got up and started round three.
"That trick wont work on me!!!!"
"Lets see!!!!" Jennifer yelled and pushed Dorothy hard. "see you later alligator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"not for a while crocodile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"after supper mother fucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dorothy pushed Jennifer hard but she didnt fall.
"Whats the matter??!!!" Jennifer asked Dorothy giving her another hard push.
"Well I got one for you!! after you bat yoy big fat BRAT!!!!!!!!!!" Jen yelled
"Right after you winnie the pooh?!!" Dorothy stopped to think and Jennifer pushed her over.
"HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Undefeated!!!!! you lose Dorothy!!!!!"
Then Duo dropped her into the water.
"HEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!! you snooze you lose!!!!!" he yelled as he picked her up and threw her across the pool. This turned into all the boys throwing the girls across the pool. And right in the middle of the game a screaming Wufei came running around the corner and jumped into the pool with Relena still chasing him.
"HHHHHEEEEERRRRRROOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET YOUR GIRLFRIEND AWAY FROM MMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Wufei screamed. Just as Relena ran by Heero he grabbed her around the waist and she stopped short.
"HEERO!!!!! let go!!! I have to get him!!!!!" She pleaded.
"Thats okay you can stop now" he said laughing at her. She calmed down and started panting because she used up all her energy chasing Wufei.
"Heero? Why are you laughing at me?!!"
"I think its bad that a strong man like Wufei would run away from a small thing like you screaming like a little girl" he said with a smile on his face.
"You know Heero you look better when you smile" she said as she looked up into his prussian eyes."
He let go of her waist and got out of the pool. She followed him.
"Heero!" she yelled at him and caught up with his sort of jog up to where the towels were. "Why do you always run away from me like this?"
"Peace."
"Peace?" am I that bad to be around that you always want to run away from me?" she started to cry.
Oh great heero said to himself what should I do now?
"You dont have to cry" he said putting a hand on her shoulder, "your not that bad to be around."
she looked up at him and he smiled at her.
"YAY!! I'm so happy!!" she threw her arms around his neck and stopped crying.
way to go heero he thought, she'll be drooling on you next time she sees you.
They all stayed there until sundown and drove home about 9 o'clock that night.
"Well Heero did you enjoy yourself?"Duo asked witha stupid grinn on his face.
"Yes I did Duo" Heero said plainly.
"I'll bet" Duo said in a low voice and walked up stairs to wash all the chlorine off him, followed by Jennifer.
"What was that about?" she asked him.
"Oh I just got afew pictures of Heero with Relena together."
"Naw for real?!" she said all excited.
"Oh yes, and he didnt even notice I took em."
"Oh you are so mean" she said and they walked into their room.
Chapter 5- preparing
"Do you really want to go on this one?" Duo asked Jennifer one night.
"Yes."
"I cant change your mind?"
"No."
"Well then" He got out of his bed and jumped into hers.
"Wha?"
"Well if your leaving lets spend the night bonding"
"What-?"
He cut her off before she could say anything. So she got up and walked out to the balcony. There was a crescent moon shining down on her face. Duo came out . She turned to face him and was about to say something when he put his hand on her lips and and rubbed his thumb across her botum lip. She stared into his cobalt blue eyes and was unable to move. She felt like she was paralyzed under his gaze and couldnt move because he didnt want her to or because she didnt? Jennifer couldnt find any words for what was happening so she stood there speechless not wanting duo to leave. He kissed her and as he slipped his tongue into her mouth she practically melted into him as he wrapped his arms around her. And as soon as he had slipped onto the balcony he had slipped away into the darkness of the room. She stood there and looked up at the moon and didnt hear Duo move silently across the room to lock the door. Jennifer walked into the pitch black and searched for him, he was standing against the wall with his arms folded across his chest in his black priest outfit. She walked over to him and and returned the favor. She threw her arms around Duo's neck and kissed him passionatly. The two flopped down on the bed without breaking the kiss.
Jennifer abruptly stopped and looked into his eyes to search for an answer. Then she figured it out. hes my soul mate. I've never met anyone like him before, she thought I've never felt this way about anyone before. We belong together.
She went back on with kissing him. Then he rolled her over and went for her shirt. she didnt care, she had no one but him.
She had no family left. Her parents,siblings everyone she loved-all gone. Except for Duo. He really cared for her. Thats why he doesnt want me to go. He loves me For the first time in my life I feel loved, I belong-here-with-Duo. He continued to kiss her and she pulled off his shirt and traced his muscles and ribs that slightly stuck out because he didnt have alot of meat on his bones. Duo continued to kiss her neck and touched the neckless that he gave her for christmas.
"Forever" he whispered into her ear and she whispered the same thing into his.
Around 11:00 the next morning Jennifer woke up on top of Duo, naked with only a sheet on her butt. She thought of the events that happened last night and touched her neckless. A short time later Duo woke up.
"Goodmorning" he said to her as he kissed her shoulder.
"Goodmorning" Jennifer replied with a smile.
"Man what time is it?" he asked.
"That doesnt matter" she said tracing the lines of his chest. He giggled.
"That tickles" he laughed............. "I love you, you know that right"
"Yes and I love you."
"And I'm hungry so lets go see whats cookin" He said and popped out of bed and stretched..
They got dressed and went down stairs.
"Whats wrong with this picture?" Duo said "Where is everyone?"
"Probably minding their own business" Jennifer said, looking around the kitchen.
"Not quite" Trowa said walking into the kitchen. "What time did you two go to bed?"
"Dont ask me"Duo said with a yawn and went to grab a box of cereal.
"Allright Jeni Jen I got all your stuff for this job"
A black man who was about 20 years old walked into the kitchen and set a huge box of equipment on the kitchen table.
"Hey Leo" She said.
"Hi Leo want some orange juice?" Duo asked handing Leo a bottle of sunny delight.
"Sure man" he grabbed it and started explaining the equipment.
"Leo can we do this later. I'm not really awake at the moment" Jennifer yawned.
He looked at her. "You look like hell. What the fuck did you do last night?" he asked looking at her suspiciosly.
"Dont ask."
Leo looked at Duo who was eating Capn crunch then back at her, raised an eye brow and said "I dont want to know."
"Allright I'll go hang out with Heero for a while until you get your head out of the clouds."
"Thanks Leo" was all she said before joining Duo with a bowl of cereal.
Leo walked into the storage room and found Heero making final adjustments to his gundam.
"Yo Heero!" Leo yelled.
"Hey Leo whats up?"
"I got a question."
"shoot."
"Did you know that Jennifer and Duo are sleeping together?"
"No. why?"
"Cause she walked in this morning and she had it written all over her face. Those two did something."
"Just leave them alone. They probably did because shes leaving today to go find the devils eye."
"I got a bad feeling 'bout this job man" Leo said
"Yeah well Duo is going with her so dont worry."
"Heero."
"Yup?"
"Could you go along too?"
"What? why?"
"To keep those two out of trouble, and I was thinkin what better person could protect them more than the perfect soldier."
"I dont-"
"Please man. Jennifers like my baby sister and I'd hate it if anything were to happen to her."
"Allright I'll go"
"Thanks man"
"I dont believe what I'm doing"
