Finally! Here is chapter two. Hope you like it. It's still undecided whether or not this should be 1+2, 3+4. Some people say yes, some say no. So tell me what you think please ^_^ and if there are more yes's then no's, then that is what it will be.
Enjoy!

Duo couldn't believe what was happening to him. Partnered in a parenting project with the perfect soldier, oh joy. Why couldn't he be with Quatre? He glanced over and saw that Trowa and the happy blond were getting along together nicely. Great. Heero was just sitting there with his usual expression. Was Heero freaked out about this as much as he was? Not likely. It was just a project right? Right. Now he just had to make sure he didn't completely humiliate himself. Duo's thoughts were interrupted when Mrs. Tebbet set a box on top of her desk and began speaking.
"Time to meet your new children class." Mrs. Tebbet smiled and opened the box. Now what she pulled out of the box baffled and horrified Duo at the same time. It was...an egg. A plain old egg. He didn't know what kind of egg, but it was an egg. "Each pair will get one of these. They are real so you have to be careful not to break them. I can't tell you what will come out of it when it hatches, it's a surprise." She began walking around the room and handing out the eggs.
When she came to where they were sitting her smile grew larger. "Here you go." A egg about the size of a chicken's egg was place into Heero's hand and a paper was handed to Duo.
The paper read:
Students, here are the rules you must follow to successfully complete this assignment. You will treat this egg as if it were your own baby. It must be kept warm at all times, and it cannot be left alone for long periods of time without supervision. That means that if you plan on going somewhere without your 'child' then you must find a baby-sitter. It should be someone from this class so they know how to properly take care of it. Not only will you have to keep the egg warm but you must give it special attention. It will be fed, played with, cleaned, and it must sleep. On the next page there is a chart that you must fill out every day. During the week I will give you extra duties that credit the assignment. Do a good job and have fun. Don't forget to work together! A large proportion of the marks are based on teamwork and cooperation.
Duo turned the page to look at the chart. This was what was on the other page:
Please fill in the time you did each thing, and also what you did.
Parents names:________
Egg's Gender: Male
Egg's name:________
Time it woke up:________
Time it ate (3 times daily):________
Playtime:________
Bath Time:________
Social Time:________
Time it went to bed:________
Extra:________
Duo stared at the paper. Was she out of her freakin mind? How the hell were they gonna feed an egg! How the hell were they gonna give a egg social time! Did she expect them to talk to it?! How was an egg male? Most of all, an egg does not sleep!!
"Duo?" He felt Heero shift beside him.
"Huh?"
"I asked you if I could see those papers." Duo's eyes widened, then he shoved the papers over. Heero handed the egg over to Duo as he quickly scanned the nonsense that Mrs. Tebbet wrote. Duo stared at the egg. The egg stared back. The whole thing was weird. Mrs. Tebbet's voice rang out across the room. "The first thing you have to do is come up with a name that both parents agree with. Go on, you have a few minutes."
Duo turned his chair so he could face Heero. "So buddy, what should we name the little guy." Duo said with forced enthusiasm. Heero look at the egg for a moment with what Duo thought was extreme concentration, then spoke. "You decide." Duo slumped in his chair.
"But Heero! We both have to do it. Help me out here." He pleaded. Heero just stared at Duo. "Okay how about I say a name, and if you like it, say yes?" Heero nodded so Duo started thinking up some names. After about a minute Duo began listing off some guy names. "Rick, Edgar, Will, Frederick, Pete?" Heero shook his head no.
"Gary." Heero said. Duo thought about it for a second.
"Works for me! But why Gary?" He asked curiously. Heero shrugged and began putting the egg's name onto their form. Duo sighed. It was going to be a long day.
Heero watched Duo as Mrs. Tebbet gave them supplies for their first "duty". She wanted everyone to make a bed for the eggs, and to be creative. Duo looked miserable regardless of the grin he wore. He was either very unhappy about the egg project, or he didn't want to be Heero's partner. Heero tried not to think to much about it while he sorted through the junk for things he could use to make the bed.
"Are these okay?" He held out a shoe box along with some paint, glue, glitter, and scrap cloth.
"Sure is buddy. Lets get this thing done."
Next to them Quatre was chattering to Trowa while they worked on fixing up a little brown basket. Judging by their faces, Quatre was having fun and Trowa was just happy that Quatre was happy. "What did you name your egg guys?" Duo asked them as he painted the shoe box a really dark blue. Quatre grinned. "Kai. It's a boy. You?"
"Gary, a boy obviously." Duo snickered.
The four worked on their egg beds in quiet until they were done. Kai's was a basket filled with old pillow fluff, and Gary's was a blue shoe box covered in gold glitter that had a bunch of old cloths and some stuffing in it. Duo put Gary in his little bed and patted it. "There ya go fella." Duo said as he put the lid on. He had funny look on his face as he turned towards Heero.
"Do you find this weird Heero?"
Heero frowned. "What do you mean weird?" Duo waved his hands as he tried to find the words.
"Don't you think doing these things for an egg is weird. Don't you think naming it Gary is weird?" Heero shrugged.
"Maybe. But it doesn't matter. Everyone has to do it. Is something else bothering you?"
Duo sighed. "Nah I'm all right. But I am not talking to that egg Heero. It's not happening."
Heero frowned slightly. Duo had to do what the teacher wanted. J said to act like normal students. "Duo, you are going to talk to that egg whether you like it or not."
