Chapter One

Duo Maxwell sat on the couch crunching his chips. There was no way he was going to take his eyes off the TV screen. Football was on, and Duo's favorite thing to do was yell " Yes, I knew it!!" or " No, you could have blocked it. He also sometimes cursed, but not in front of Quatre. He chuckled to himself at how proper Quatre was, with his tea in the morning and even ironing his own clothes. Duo wouldn't even set foot near an iron and ironing board. But of course, he was only 17, so what was a boy to do.

For a long time now, there had been no missions. They were relaxing and enjoying the free life. They have been for a year now. When Duo was 15 it was all a blur. (Someone told me that they are only 15 in the anime; tell me if I'm wrong) They hadn't seen Relena for ages, but Duo knew that Heero was probably sneaking out to see her. Relena loved Heero, and never gave up on trying to make Heero love her. Heero must have fallen in love with her because of her determination. Duo had to admit that he was happy for Heero, I mean, somebody had to be, considering Duo was the only one who knew about them. Duo himself did not care for someone who always covered her face in makeup and was ditzy all the time. Nope, he definitely was into girls who didn't care about what other people thought, and were funny. Yes, definitely somebody who was funny, liked to eat, and watched football.

At that moment, Trowa waltzed in, with two bags full of groceries (someone had to do it) and hair that magically stood up. Duo had searched the bathroom cabinets many times, and never found one hair spray can.

"Yo, Tro!" said Duo. " Watcha got?"

Trowa didn't respond; he just put all the contents in the bags on the round table in the middle of the kitchen. There were 5 bags of Cheetos, five bags of coffee, bread, pasta, peanut butter, Pepsi, and a huge box of Cheerios. Oh, and also salad, dressing, croutons, and milk. That should last them for a couple of months, considering they still had cupboards full of food and the same with the fridge.

Duo hadn't been paying attention to the TV, and right when he looked to it, his team just ran a touchdown. "YES!!!" he shrieked. " TOUCHDOWN!!" He started to do a little dance around the room and grabbed Trowa and attempted to dance with him, but Trowa just grabbed his arms, grunted, and walked out of the room, with his very, tight, tight, pants on. Of course, Duo was used to the silent Trowa, so he continued to dance around the kitchen. Just then, Wufei walked in, and grabbed a soda. He stared at Duo, whose braid was swinging around so frightfully fast that he could have whipped somebody into the coffee table that Heero had bought from the thrift store. Heero had a strange obsession with metal tables and other furniture. " You look like a woman, " Wufei said calmly. Duo was used to this too. Wufei was always being prejudice about woman. " Awe, that's so sweet" Duo said. " Why don't you watch the game with me, Wufei, you could do a man thing," Duo said, knowing what was going to happen next. Wufei whipped around and said, " Are you making fun of me??? You better not be, or I'll get out the numchucks again like last time". Duo rubbed his head, not forgetting what had happened that time. Wufei had a very big temper, and when you messed with it, out came the numchucks.

Heero came in, not noticing the scene before him as he grabbed a bag of cheetos. They were his favorite food, and he needed to have lots of strength to be able to walk to Relena's house that night. He swore that somebody probably figured out that he was sneaking out. Oh well, he decided, as he filled a bowl full of the yummy cheesy contents, (he needed just enough, but not too much, or he might not fit into his spandex) Nobody needed to know. As he proceeded to get out of the kitchen, he noticed Wufei was jabbering on to Duo about something. Something about numchucks, he heard in one part of it. He then left, not wanting to hear Duo's screams as the numchucks came flying down on his head.

Later that night, all the boys were piled up in the couches, watching TV. They were watching Whose Line was it anyway with Wane Brady and Drew Carey. Quatre had wanted to watch an anime, but the other boys protested. Quatre was a softy for those kinds of things. It was a little girly, but for someone who grew up with just girls would be that way. The boys were all laughing at the part where they use the props and Wane Brady puts the weird skirt type white thing around him and goes down to the ground and says " Look, I'm a little priest". Quatre's eyes were streaming and Duo was on the floor pounding on it with his fists. Even Trowa was laughing hysterically. Which was quite strange. Heero was cracking up and Wufei was doing a strange laugh between a snorting pig and an evil hyena.

After watching it for an hour, some of the boys decided to get up and go to bed, leaving Quatre, Trowa, and Duo. Duo, of course, was hyper like always from all the junk he ate and all the coffee. Quatre was even surprised he still fit into his puffy pants. Trowa was enjoying the nice summer air outside. It was nice not to have school the next day. He really hated school. He would rather go back to the circus with Catherine instead of being a senior at Michael High School. (I couldn't figure out a cool name) Quatre put in an anime and started watching it.

" Awe, come on Quatre, why do you always have to watch that stuff. Its just where the guy and girl fall in love and then the girl gets taken away by the bad guy and the guy goes and get her and gets hurt." Duo said.

" Well, Duo, this one is sort of like that but not all the way, it's called " Yu Yu Hakusho". It's really good."

" Uh, maybe later, Quat, but now I need to get some midnight chow. (Even though it was only 10:54) Right, Tro." Duo said to Quatre and then slapped Trowa's back. But Trowa wasn't listening; he was watching something at the end of the block, where there seemed to be two people running very fast and then stopping and looking around. " Maybe its just kids" he thought.

Miki and Mina Brian ran with all their might from Elijah, their dad's business partner. Apparently, he wanted some money from their parents, and he had banged on their door calling to let him in. He had punched their father over and over and asked for the money. Miki, the older of the two sisters by two minutes, had no idea why he needed this "money" so much, all that she knew was that he was some homicidal physco dude who had just killed their parents. The moment he walked in on their cheap carpet, she knew she saw a gun in his jacket. Her mother had told them to run, run away, and keep on running until they were so far away they wouldn't be seen. So they went through their bedroom window. Right when they got outside, the gunshot could be heard with a terrible shriek. Then another. Miki tried to get the sound out of her head, and the tears to stop flowing out of her eyes, but it was impossible. She knew Mina was crying too, but she held on to her hand and didn't let go. She wanted to fulfill their mother's last wish, so she didn't stop running until she couldn't anymore. They stopped at the end of the block, reading the sign that said " Honey Street", and sat down on the ground, dragging her sister down with her.

"Mina" she said panting, " I think we're…safe…. now".

Mina didn't answer, she just nodded her head so her brown hair bounced up and down. She was mostly the silent type, especially when ever she cried. Plus, she was probably so out of breath she couldn't talk, I mean, they had been running all over town.

Miki didn't know what to do now. Where would they go?? She searched the houses on the street, for people who were still awake with their lights on in their house. She noticed a porch light on, with somebody standing underneath. She knew they should give it a try.

She grabbed Mina's hand, and pulled her up and started walking in their direction. " Miki" Mina questioned. " Where are we going? We can't go to somebody's house. Who would take us in? I doubt any one wants two girls in their house. I bet they wouldn't even believe us if we.... told them what happened." She tried to keep the tears falling from her eyes, but failed as a new batch came falling down on the concrete like raindrops. Miki knew she was right, but where else would they go? Then, an idea popped in her head, and she dove behind a bush in somebody's garden. The lights weren't on, so she knew it was okay.

"Miki, what are you doing?" Mina hissed, being the scaredy cat she was. " I just got the most brilliant plan" Miki said excitedly, a surprise from someone who was crying. " If we make ourselves look homeless, they'll absolutely have to take us in! From the way we're fed, and how our clothes look, we definitely could do it. But we just need some finishing touches." Miki started to take dirt and rub it on their clothes faces and some on the arms. Then she started to mess up their hair with a twig, but Mina slapped her hand away when Miki tried to make her look like a Flintstone with a bone in her hair. They got up and started to walk to the house, the person watching them. When they finally got there, they both stared up at the person, who had very weird hair that just stood up on its own. He was a boy, who didn't look much older than them, and he was wearing the tightest pants she had ever seen. She turned to Mina and noticed she was blushing. She looked to the boy, and he was sort of cute, but now was not the time to be thinking about boys. She cleared her throat, took a glance toward Mina, and said " Excuse me, but we're homeless, and don't have anywhere to go. I was wondering if you knew a good place to stay." She finished with a sad look on her face that he wouldn't be able to resist.

Trowa looked at them. Two homeless girls had just asked him for a place to stay. They looked frightened and helpless, so what else was he to do. " Umm…just one moment please. I'll be right back " and with that he went back into the house.

He found Quatre singing to the Yu Yu Hakusho opening, dancing about. Duo was being his usual self, watching the opening with his eyebrows raised. " You guys, could you come out side for a moment. There are two homeless girls at the door wondering for a place to stay. Should we let them stay here?"

Quatre immediately stopped singing and said " Of course you should tell that to them. We have four guest rooms, all with two beds. Here, I'll come out side and tell them." Duo said, " What do they look like. Are they young? Two girls living in our house. They'd probably think we were perverted or something." Quatre looked at Duo with a smirk and said teasingly, " Not unless we let them think that. I saw those magazines you hid under your mattress." Trowa said " What magazines?" and then Duo answered back, " There are no magazines Trowa. Don't listen to Quat."

They finally got to the door and looked out. Miki and Mina were sitting on the steps, whispering to each other. " I don't know about this, Miki, I think this is a boys dorm. What if they actually send us to a homeless center?" Mina said. Miki hadn't thought about that, but before she could reply, Quatre said to them, " Hello, I'm Quatre Raberba Winner. My friend Trowa Barton says you're looking for a place to stay. Well, we have come to a conclusion, and we have decided to let you stay here. For as long as you like. You can clean up and have something to eat."

Mina and Miki couldn't believe it. They were going to let them stay. And have something to eat. Miki didn't realize how hungry she was. Her and Mina didn't have any supper. The cupboards at home were empty and the fridge didn't' have much in it. She was so happy that they would be safe tonight. She looked to the boys. " Thank you so much, we have never been so grateful. I'm Miki Brian and this is my twin sister Mina." She said. " I'm Duo Maxwell. It's awesome that you too are twins." Duo replied as they led them inside. Miki and Mina happy for the first time that day, because they felt safe, something they hadn't felt for a long time.
