Half-Empty

by: Goddesgurl

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing or make up the actual question "Is the glass half-empty or half-full?" so don't sue me!!! Okay, read and review!

Note: I wrote this fic at 3:00 in the morning while drinking Coke and eating chocolate-chip cookies.....

Duo's throat ached from all the talking he'd just done. "I need some water."
He trudged over to the fridge, past a meditating Wufei and a typing Heero.
Duo peered into the partially-bare fridgerator and frowned at what he saw.
Two glasses of water. He sighed and took one out. He leaned on the counter and took a long swig of the drink. He thought a moment, and an idea kicked him in the head: he could get to know his fellow Gundam pilots' personalities better by asking them one simple question.....

Duo bounced over to a tea-drinking Quatre and held up his glass. "Hey Quatre!
Tell me..... is this glass half-empty or half-full?"

Quatre looked up at him and gave him a look that said "Why are you asking me this stupid question?".

Quatre: It's half-full, Duo. *said in an "Are you a complete moron?" tone*

Duo: Ok, thanks! *bounces off*

Quatre: *shakes his head* Yep, I knew that after he asked me what time it was over a hundred times in a row to beat a world record that it was ALL downhill from there! *returns to drinking tea*

Duo searched the house for his next victim....er.....friend, and spotted Trowa working out. Duo shoved the glass before his face to get his attention.

Duo: Trowa, is this glass-

Trowa: *wipes forehead* Oh, thanks Duo! *takes drink, swallows the rest, and hands glass back to Duo*

Duo: *stares at empty glass* Uh..don't mention it. *walks away* Okay, I'll take that as a 'half-empty'....

Duo walked back over to the fridge and took out the second glass to continue his little experiment.
He walked out the kitchen and found Wufei fumbling with his katana.

Duo: Hey Wu-man!

Wufei looked at him aggravatedly. "Do NOT call me Wu-man!!!

Duo: Whatever.... just answer this question: *holds up glass* Is this glass half-empty or half-full?

Wufei: I do not have time to answer your WEAK question, Maxwell!

Duo thought a moment (!!) and rephrased the question. "Fine, uh...which description would be the justified way to address the glass?"

Wufei held up his katana and, in one swift motion, sliced the glass in half.

"There! Now LEAVE ME ALONE!!"

Duo inched away. 'I'll take that as a 'half-full''

Duo sulked back to the kitchen and poured the contents into a larger glass.
He searched the house for Heero, finding him busily typing away at his laptop.
Duo gulped and tapped Heero on the shoulder.

Duo: Heero, I gotta ask you something....

Heero paused and turned to Duo, giving him the Heero Yuy Death-Glare (I have to include at least one per fic!), expecting Duo to leave.

Duo gave a weak smile and held up the glass. "Would you say this glass is half-empty or half-full?"

Heero stared at the glass oddly. "Duo, did you drink half of that?"

"Yeah, why?"

Heero smirked, chuckled, then started cracked up laughing.

Duo raised an eyebrow. "W-what?"

Heero stopped long enough to talk....

"Duo, that was some chemicals I mixed together trying to make a new Gundam fuel!! Look at your face!" Heero soon fell to the floor, laughing uncontrollably.

"WHAT!!!!" Duo ran to the bathroom and stared in horror at his own reflection.

His entire face had turned blue! Duo screamed and stormed out the bathroom.

"HEERO! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ANYONE WHAT WAS IN THE FRIDGE??!!!!!"

Heero: *in between laughs* You... you look like.... a SMURF!!!
